Ep 133 - Voting with Your Conscience and the Lesser of Two Evils, The Dangers of Pope Francis' Words

He completed a solo and unsupported 3,700-mile run across America in 2011. During the journey he ran while praying for intentions people sent him from all over the world. He became one of only a small handful of people to cross the country in this manner, finishing with one of the longest routes in history while averaging more than 30 miles a day over the four-month journey. His book, "Running with God Across America," was published in 2012 and details his prayerful journey. He also has a chapter in the book, "Across America on Foot," which was published in 2020. He has continued to run after his journey, running long distances on his own, in the U.S., and even in the Holy Land. He had begun running at a young age, competing in cross-country throughout high school and recreationally in college, eventually completing his first marathon in 2004. He is currently the vice chairman for LIFE Runners, which he talks about during this interview.

Ep 141 - A Paradox of Grief and Joy, Exploring Christmas in Heaven with Anthony DeStefano

Friends, many people in the Church, including the Holy Father, have been talking about "synodality." But what is it? What does it mean? How can it help the Church, and what are possible dangers? That's what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show." A listener asks, what is appropriate to bring with you into Eucharistic Adoration?

Sunday Homily: Who do you say that I am?

Friends, today on the "Word on Fire Show," we conclude our series of discussions called "Understanding the Present Moment." Brandon Vogt and I have examined four massively influential figures who together help explain our present moment, how we arrived at where we are today. The ideologies undergirding much of the unrest in our culture stem from these four thinkers: Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault. Once we understand these figures and their key ideas, we will recognize them everywhere and be prepared to engage today's challenges. In today's fourth and final discussion, we focus on Michel Foucault, perhaps the least known of the four but maybe the one with the greatest direct impact on the way many in our culture think today. A listener asks, how do we understand God as bring if he's both Father and Son?

WOF 248: Your Life is Not About You (Part 1 of 2)

Today we share Bishop Barron's presentation entitled "Breaking Through the Buffered Self," which he offered for the prestigious 2022 Albert Cardinal Meyer Lecture series hosted at Mundelein Seminary back in March 2022. In the talk, Bishop Barron looks at the intellectual matrix that has made the army of the disaffiliated possible, namely, what Charles Taylor calls the culture of the "buffered self," the ego cut off from any living contact with the transcendent. Then, using the three great transcendentals—the good, the true, and the beautiful—as his framework, he proposes ways to break through the buffered self and to open the restless heart to a consideration of God and the things of God. (This is Part I of his lecture series. We will share Part II on a future episode.)

WOF 342: Breaking Through the Buffered Self

Manny shares his powerful journey from early confusion and hidden shame surrounding same sex attraction to a dramatic encounter with the Lord that reshaped his life. His story includes years of internal conflict, strained school experiences, and a pivotal moment of honesty with his parents that revealed the Father’s love in a profound way.
The Dudes explore what it means to move from fleeting happiness to lasting joy, how God meets us in the depths of our brokenness, and why authentic fraternity matters for every man pursuing holiness. Manny reflects on his time at Franciscan University, the mentors who walked with him, and the ongoing daily work of conversion and chastity. Through humor, humility, and spiritual honesty, this conversation highlights that the journey toward Christ is messy, beautiful, and meant to be shared in community.

Seeking the Bread of Life

The BeatiDudes are back at the Tiny Table with Patrick Thornton from Catholic.Store and Tiny Saints. 
Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein start the episode with playful banter about names, shirts, and biceps, before Patrick shares a heartfelt family story that changed his life. Not too long ago, Patrick’s oldest son survived a serious car accident, spent weeks recovering, and then stood at his wedding after a last-minute clearance from the doctor. 
The conversation turns to the gift of proximity, since all six Thornton kids now live within fifteen minutes of mom and dad in Irving. Patrick talks about ordinary names that feel wonderfully normal, the joy of grandparent life, and why Texas weather just works. The crew riffs on Tiny Saints as small reminders with a big mission, previews the red tiny table activation for the Catholic Music Initiative concert, and laughs through Catholic dad jokes, Tim Tebow sightings, and a legendary line delivered to Pudge Rodriguez. 
The show is equal parts comedy and consolation, the kind of episode that leaves you grateful for faith, family, and friends who keep showing up.

First Sunday of Advent!

Friends, in his talk at the 2022 Good News Conference, Fr. John Riccardo speaks about the unwavering trust and hope that Christians are called to.

WOF 382: The Beauty of Hope w/ Fr. John Riccardo

St. Anselm was one of the great Catholic philosophers.  In this episode Jon Leonetti recounts his contributions to the Church and the importance thinking critically about our faith and the world we live in.  Take some time this week to challenge yourself mentally and seek answers to the difficult questions that you might have about your faith.

#26 A Great Thinker

Words have the power to heal or to wound, to lift up or to tear down. In this episode, John and Victor reflect on how easily criticism can slip into our relationships and how speaking life and encouragement can completely change the atmosphere of a home, workplace or any environment. 

They discuss how men often crave affirmation but struggle to give it, and why choosing words of grace, kindness and love can break cycles of hurt that run through generations.

If you’ve ever caught yourself being more critical than kind, this conversation is a reminder that every word you speak carries weight.

Agents of Grace - Words of Affirmation

Faithful Catholic grandparents care deeply about passing down their faith to their family. But our post-Christian world seeks to destroy their grandchildren’s faith in God. This leaves grandparents confused about just exactly what role, if any, they should play in the spiritual lives of their grandchildren. Listen to the full conversation that John Bishop had with Dan Spencer on the critical role of  grandfathers and how to steward that role with intentionality.

Christ’s Presence in Us

What if standing up for your faith meant exile, torture, and death &mdash; would you still do it? In this gripping talk, we uncover the extraordinary life of Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky, the Ukrainian bishop who defied Soviet oppression, endured brutal labor camps, and led the underground Church when it was all but wiped out. His story isn't just history &mdash; it's a challenge to every Christian today. Learn how a priest from a humble family in Ukraine stood firm when his Church was declared illegal, how he risked everything to defend unity with Rome, and how even after horrific torture, his incorrupt body testified to unshakable hope. This is more than a history lesson &mdash; it&rsquo;s a roadmap for courage, faith, and what it truly means to be a saint in dark times.

Friends, today we share a sample lesson from Bishop Barron's new Word on Fire Institute course titled <a href= "https://wordonfire.institute/courses/churchfathers" target= "_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">"Reading Scripture with the Early Church Fathers."</a> In this course, Bishop Barron introduces the spiritual dynamics of Biblical exegesis in Origen and St. Augustine of Hippo. The Church Fathers did not separate Scripture and spirituality but saw the form of the spiritual life within the Scripture. As the key of the Scriptures, Christ is the key to the spiritual life. This course delves into the riches of how the Church reads Scripture, greatly inspired by the writings of Origen and St. Augustine.

Fr. Dom's Homs - The Power and Mystery of the Mass

God answered my prayer the way He so often does: By sending a cross. April and Deacon Harold have learned after 33 years of marriage, The cross and the wedding ring go together. He elaborates on this today as well as looking into Soulful Psalm 35:20-23

Marriage & The Cross

Gratitude is not sentiment. It is not a mood. It is a weapon. In this Black Friday edition of The Manly Catholic, James confronts a spiritual truth that most men overlook. Ingratitude is not harmless. It opens the door to the enemy. Gratitude shuts it. If you are a man serious about spiritual combat, this episode will cut straight through your excuses and call you to live the mission God entrusted to you.Drawing from Scripture, the Catechism, and the wisdom of the saints, James exposes how the devil exploits bitterness, entitlement, and resentment to weaken Catholic men. He reminds listeners that everything we have is a gift from God. Life. Breath. Family. Vocation. Grace. The sacraments. Even our crosses. Gratitude protects the heart, anchors the mind in truth, and strengthens a man to stand firm in the battle for his soul and the souls entrusted to him.This episode challenges men to reject passivity during Thanksgiving, Advent, and Christmas. These are not seasons for indulgence or excuses. They are seasons for witness. Seasons for obedience. Seasons for gratitude rooted in humility. James lays out the three core areas every man must give thanks for and gives a concrete, non-negotiable challenge that must be completed before the day ends.You will leave this episode equipped, convicted, and ready to lead your family with strength and clarity. Gratitude is not optional for a Catholic man. It is justice. It is worship. It is war.Products and References Mentioned • Ignatius Press Catholic Study Bible (Old and New Testament) <a href="https://ignatius.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">• Ignatius Press Black Friday Sale </a> <a href="https://tanbooks.com/tan-digital-app/?srsltid=AfmBOop9a5vs4nADbJWzrM5uRKucqTz9MLZekAty0bs78HwzGizeod2J" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">• TAN Digital App (TAN Books)</a> --&gt; use code 'MANLYCATHOLIC' for 50% off ANY subscription (code is case sensitive)Three Powerful Quotes from the Transcript<ol><li>“Gratitude annihilates the lie that Satan tells us because gratitude forces us to look at reality.”</li><li>“Men who complain more than they praise will never become saints.”</li><li>“Everything is a gift.

She is going to be playing for the U.S. Women's National lacrosse team. She is fresh off the second of back-to-back national championships with the University of Tampa women's lacrosse team, finishing 2025 with 40 goals and ten assists for 50 points in 14 games, including two goals in the national championship game. In 2024 she was named the Most Outstanding Player of both the NCAA Championship and the Sunshine State Conference Tournament.

He is a seminarian in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, attending St. Charles Borromeo Seminary. He was actually not born into the Catholic faith and, as he talks about here, his sights were actually fixed squarely on basketball, which he played as a youth, with a focus on making the freshman team at the high school he would be attending. He even later attended a basketball camp. In the seminary he participates in tournaments in billiards and chess. Listen for his thoughts on the 2025-26 NBA season thus far!

In this revisit of one of our episodes of The Manly Catholic, James sits down with self-educated philosopher, entrepreneur, and author Paul List to discuss his fascinating book, Mount Doom: The Prophecy of Tolkien Revealed (co-authored with Ali Ghafari). Paul shares how his own background in Aristotelian and Thomistic philosophy unlocked a hidden layer of Tolkien's mythology—one that standard academia completely misses.James and Paul pull back the curtain on a little-known piece of history: Tolkien’s recruitment to Bletchley Park alongside Alan Turing, the father of modern artificial intelligence. Paul argues that Tolkien foresaw the rise of the "machine" and the ultimate devaluation of the human soul. Together, they break down the profound scholastic allegories hidden within Middle-earth, revealing how characters like Tom Bombadil, Goldberry, and the Hobbits represent the human will, intellect, and the four cardinal virtues fighting against the binary grip of Mordor.Grab your coffee, settle in, and get ready for a heavy dose of metaphysics, philosophy, and Catholic theology.

Ep 187 Revisited: Tolkien Was Warning Us: AI, Vice, and the War for Men’s Souls (Paul List)

Amongst the many notable lives of leaders brought to us in the Bible, the life of King Solomon stands out.  Not everything in his life is worthy of imitation, but other aspects of his life seem clearly to indicate the plan of God for us.  And one of those aspects in particular is the benefits that God shows for those who possess wisdom.  In this our second episode on King Solomon we look at the benefits of Godly wisdom in his life and compare it to the wisdom we find in Christ.

Episode 245 - Jesus is supernaturally transfigured and the Trinity is revealed - Sunday March 16, 2025 - Lk 9:28b-36

In the biblical story of humanity’s beginning, there’s a curious and often overlooked detail. When God speaks to Adam in the garden, He doesn’t begin by issuing a command. Instead, He gives a warning: “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die” (Genesis 2:17). At first glance, this seems like a straightforward prohibition. But in Jewish tradition, the interpretation leans another way: God isn’t laying down the law. He’s offering a word of caution. Deacon Harold talks more about God's invitation to freedom. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 135:7-12

God’s Invitation to Freedom

Bishop Barron recounts his time at the annual Los Angeles Religious Education Congress held from February 25-28, 2016. He shares about his talk on 1 and 2 Samuel, having breakfast with philosopher-priest Fr. Robert Spitzer, and the best approaches to evangelization. A listener asks about the nature of sin and whether it's a privation of the good or something real and substantial.

In this episode of the Seeking Excellence Podcast, Nathan Crankfield and guest Nathan Price discuss the importance of dressing well, particularly for men. They emphasize the significance of taking oneself seriously and the impact that dressing well can have on one&#39;s self-confidence, relationships, and representation of the faith. They also address the misconception that dressing well is vain, highlighting the importance of finding the middle ground between sloppiness and excessive vanity. The conversation draws from the teachings of St. Francis de Sales and emphasizes the virtues of propriety, cleanliness, modesty, and simplicity in dressing.
 In this conversation, Nathan Price provides practical advice on dressing well for men. He emphasizes the importance of grooming and dressing appropriately for different occasions, such as Mass and dates. He suggests starting with what you already have and gradually investing in quality clothing that fits well.

Friends, as you may have heard, Pope Francis recently appointed me the ninth bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester (Minnesota). I will be formally installed on July 29. On today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," Brandon Vogt and I discuss how I found out, how the process works, how it will affect Word on Fire, and what I'm looking forward to most in my new diocese.

She ran for the University of Colorado | Colorado Springs, competing in cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track. Prior to that she was a school record holder in the 4x400m relay and earned several honors, including - among many others - being named Poway High School Athlete of the Year, and was a five-time state meet qualifier. Today, she still stays involved through a running club, continues to race on the roads, and, most recently, ran a full marathon for the charity organization St. Jude. Her story, however, includes medical challenges, and, in part, led to her today being a foot and ankle doctor and surgeon at a Catholic hospital in Indianapolis, including treating athletes.

Why are 85% of Catholic children walking away from the Faith, even after years of weekly Mass, sacraments, and for many, Catholic school and youth group? John Heinen sits down with Devin Schadt to expose what parents today have been missing and why the solution is found inside the home. With wisdom drawn from recent studies, Church teaching, and personal experience, they reveal the one secret that thriving Catholic families have that others miss entirely. These families do not have children leaving the Faith when they go off to college, and actually, the reverse is happening.
 
Instead of just doing more religious practices, this episode invites men to build something deeper: a Catholic family culture rooted in warmth, tenderness, and order. Devin and John break down how your family’s core values, a family personality, and devotional life can become the shield that protects your children from spiritual collapse. And they share practical steps, beginning with one conversation with your wife that needs to happen immediately.

WOF 465: Recapping the Synod on Synodality

What happens when a professional hockey enforcer&mdash;known for fighting on the ice&mdash;walks away from fame, money, and identity to pursue something deeper?
In this powerful episode of Heroic Stories, former NHL enforcer John Scott shares the surprising journey that transformed his life. From the intense world of professional hockey to becoming a father of eight and a man deeply rooted in faith, John opens up about the battles most fans never see.
He talks about the pressure of life in the NHL, the culture of hockey locker rooms, and the identity crisis that hit after retirement. Despite achieving what many dream of&mdash;fame, money, and success&mdash;John discovered it didn&rsquo;t bring the fulfillment he expected. That realization set him on a 10-year journey that eventually led him to embrace the Catholic faith.
John shares the struggles that made the decision difficult, why he walked away from parts of his old lifestyle, and how faith reshaped his priorities as a husband and father. He also reflects on the quiet heroism of his own dad, the lessons he learned about sacrifice, and why raising strong, faithful children matters more than anything he accomplished in hockey.

Fr. Dom calls all Catholics to wake up and stand firm. The Church is not an institution to critique from a distance. She is a living, supernatural reality. She is the Bride of Christ. When you attack her, you attack Him. When you defend her, you honor Him. This homily is a direct charge for Catholics to reject passivity, confront the idols in their own lives, and reclaim their place as protectors of God’s household.In this homily, you are confronted with the reality that the Church is not optional. She is not a social club, a human institution, or a cultural relic. She is divine. She is the unsinkable ship. She is the Bride of Christ, brought to life through His blood and water. Attacking the Church is attacking the Bride of God. You are called to honor her, defend her, and deepen your own fidelity to her.You’ll hear how Ezekiel’s prophecy points directly to Christ’s crucifixion, how Jesus’ cleansing of the Temple reveals the righteous anger of God, and how St. Paul’s warning about the destruction of the temple applies to every single man today. The message is simple: if you refuse to fight, you will lose the soul entrusted to you. Christ did not die so men could drift into lukewarmness. He died to raise men into warriors who defend His Bride.THREE POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THE TRANSCRIPT<ol><li>“The Catholic Church is the unsinkable ship on a stormy sea. The gates of hell shall not prevail against us.”</li><li>“If someone said your wife was evil, you would cleanse the temple. That is exactly what Jesus did.”</li><li>“If anyone destroys the temple, God will destroy that person. Jesus is not a pacifist. He loves us too much.”</li></ol>KEY TAKEAWAY FOR MEN TO APPLY IMMEDIATELY Identify one idol in your life — anything that steals time, devotion, or obedience from Christ — and remove it with the same zeal that Christ used to cleanse the temple. Do not delay. Fight back.<a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Faith Over Fear

This is episode 169 of the Seeking Excellence Podcast.
 
Matt Walsh published his book, Church of Cowards: A Wake Up Call to Complacent Christians, in 2020. I remembered reading that book and being profoundly impacted by it. It both spoke to my many frustrations with my fellow Christians AND convicted me of many habits and mindsets that I had in my own life that made me a less than stellar Christian myself.&nbsp;
In today's episode, I take a look at the first half of the book, going through the chapter titles and highlighting specific quotes as well as adding my own thoughts to each topic.&nbsp;
I highly encourage you to buy and read Matt's book, which <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Church-Cowards-Wake-Up-Complacent-Christians/dp/1621579204">you can do here</a>.&nbsp;
Matt Walsh is a Catholic husband and father, as well as a popular podcast host for the Daily Wire.&nbsp;

WOF 428: Talking Politics & Religion w/ Ro Khanna

Warning: &nbsp;This one is not for the weak or fainthearted. It contains some hard truth and a very challenging message.
On February 22, I was able to attend a talk given by Fr. Ripperger, a devout Catholic priest and experienced exorcist, on the state of the spiritual warfare taking place in our world today. It was incredibly insightful and eye-opening. I have seldom been more encouraged and inspired to be bold with our faith, take my personal holiness seriously, and to share the Gospel with the world.&nbsp;
It is my hope that this will inspire you the way that his message inspired me. You are capable, by the grace of God, of playing a major role in the battle of good vs. evil. It is time to accept our responsibility as disciples, soldiers, and ambassadors of Christ. Your thoughts, words, actions, and beliefs make a massive impact in our world, for better or worse.&nbsp;
If this helps you, please share with anyone who you think would also benefit from it.&nbsp;

WOF 047: 7 Keys to the New Evangelization (Part 2 of 2)

Friends, we just marked the 60th anniversary of the opening of Vatican II, the Second Vatican Council. Six decades later, can we say the Council was a success? A failure? Something in between? On today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," Brandon Vogt discuss a provocative pair of op-eds published in the New York Times by Ross Douthat, who argues that the Council was both necessary and a failure, and yet cannot be undone. A listener asks, if God is without form, then at the Transfiguration, what was Jesus transformed into?

Corrupting Religion With The Idea Of A "Historical Jesus" | Part 23 | Lent 2024

Can AI serve the Church &mdash; or will it undermine it? In this eye-opening interview, Matthew Sanders, founder of Magisterium AI and Longbeard, reveals how artificial intelligence is reshaping Catholic evangelization, research, and even access to ancient Church teachings. From digitizing forgotten libraries in Rome to building AI tools that help ordinary Catholics explore theology, Sanders shares the inspiring &mdash; and at times unsettling &mdash; possibilities of AI in faith.
But as AI grows more powerful, so do the questions: Can machines truly assist with spiritual formation? Will AI deepen our understanding of God &mdash; or distort it? What happens when people turn to AI for companionship, therapy, or even answers to life's deepest struggles?
In this conversation, you'll hear the viral story of how Magisterium AI crashed after an EWTN interview, how the Vatican is quietly embracing technology, and why AI might just help preserve &mdash; not replace &mdash; the Church's voice.

Faith & Sport: Our goal is to bring an everyday sports-talk show to Catholics and Catholic-radio listeners, but with character, morality, and ethics regularly weaved into the conversation.
Why our Faith is important in Sport: In 2004, Pope John Paul II instituted the Office of Church and Sport to fully recognize the significance of athletics in our culture. The pope intended that athletes, fans, parents, coaches, and sport administrators call upon their Catholic faith to guide actions and words in athletic competition, regardless of our method of participation.
