Episode 28 - Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

This week, John welcomes back Dr. Bob Schuchts—Catholic therapist, author, and founder of the John Paul II Healing Center—for an in-depth conversation about what it means to truly trust in the Father’s provision.

Self-reliance can creep into our lives in subtle ways, and fear and control often mask as responsibility. Listen in as Dr. Bob shares personal stories and insights from his new book Trusting Our Father’s Provision, which demonstrate how real freedom begins when we let go and allow God to provide.

If you’ve ever struggled to surrender your finances, your future, or your sense of security to God, the Father sees you. He knows what you need. And He can be trusted.

Trusting in the Father's Provision - With Dr. Bob Schuchts

Pradeep Thoppil is very aware of his “Yes” to the calling Jesus put on his heart as a husband, a father, and a son of God. He has been intentional about building authentic fraternity with his brothers in Christ, and this episode highlights his commitment to others as he shows his love, support, and prayers for Jeff and his son, Benny Pro, who is currently battling brain cancer.The conversation sparks Paul to share Psalm 18:17-20He reached down from on high and seized me, drew me out of the deep waters.He rescued me from my mighty enemy, from foes too powerful for me.They attacked me on my day of distress, but the LORD was my support.He set me free in the open; he rescued me because he loves me.Pradeep points out that through Benny Pro’s battle, others are being brought to know Jesus. Pradeep finishes the episode by asking each of us to make a resolution for the week ahead. He suggests that we all find a specific way to take the higher Christ road when someone else takes the low blow. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a> BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

CANDID - 'The Religious Hippie' with Amber Rose

Friends, in today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," we share Lecture 1 from Peter Kreeft's new 12-part video series on <a href="https://wordonfire.org/philosophy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">"Socrates' Children: The Great Debates of Philosophy."</a> In this lecture series, Dr. Peter Kreeft examines key ideas in philosophy by comparing and contrasting two representative philosophers in each lecture. The first lecture compares the father of philosophy, Socrates, with the Sophists, whose philosophy is marked more by cleverness and emotion rather than by wisdom and truth. This video series is being released alongside Word on Fire's new book series by Kreeft, titled <a href= "https://wordonfire.org/philosophy?_ga=2.128706956.1681425296.1677787164-1034457484.1641079730&_gl=1*15ctd40*_ga*MTAzNDQ1NzQ4NC4xNjQxMDc5NzMw*_ga_4081DYV3TL*MTY3Nzc4OTE1MS40OTMuMS4xNjc3NzkwNzM2LjQ4LjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Socrates' Children: An Introduction to Philosophy from the 100 Greatest Philosophers</a>.

WOF 376: Peter Kreeft on Socrates vs. the Sophists

Brothers, what if the secret to winning the battle against temptation starts with a virtue we’ve all but forgotten? Welcome to another powerful reflection in our St. Joseph Lenten series on The Manly Catholic. Today, guest  Ryan Flaherty steps up to unpack St. Joseph as the "Chaste Guardian of the Virgin," a title that’s more relevant than ever in a world drowning in hookup culture and instant gratification. This isn’t just about saying no to sin; it’s about saying yes to self-mastery and real love. Ready to fight like Joseph did? Hit play, and let’s roll.Ryan digs deep into chastity—not as a rejection of desire, but as a way to channel it right. Drawing from Scripture and Greek roots, he shows how Joseph handled the "serpents" of temptation, lifting them up like a cross to carry for Christ. Today’s culture tempts us at every turn—phones in our pockets, porn a click away—but Joseph guarded Mary with purity and purpose. Whether you’re married, single, or discerning, this episode’s got something for you. It’s about honoring the people God gave us, not chasing fleeting thrills.Here’s your challenge: Cherish Someone Today. Pick one person—your wife, girlfriend, mom, sister, friend—and do one intentional act to show they matter. Write a note, put your phone down for 10 minutes to listen, or tell your wife she’s still your heart’s desire. Keep it real, keep it simple. Chastity’s about ordering our love, and this is how we start. Optimized for men seeking virtue and strength, this reflection’s a game-changer. Share it with a brother—Lent’s heating up. Hit us at themanlycatholic.gmail.com with your stories.Products/References<ul><li>Consecration to St. Joseph (book): Mentioned by Ryan—grab it for a deeper dive.</li><li>Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance/Interlinear Bible: Online Greek resource—check BibleHub.com.</li></ul>3 Powerful Quotes<ol><li>"Chastity is the virtue that prevents us from being slaves to our passions and acting like irrational animals."</li><li>"Imagine how much more connected you could end up being with your wife… if she’s feeling like she is still the object of your desire."</li><li>"To handle the serpents that are sent our way, we have to take up our cross, follow Jesus, deny ourselves daily."</li></ol>Master your desires now.

Why ‘Tapping’ a Friend Could Save His Life | Heroic Hotline | Kevin O'Brien

Delve into the profound mind of Thomas Storck, a prominent Catholic author, in our latest podcast episode. Thomas's comprehensive exploration of "The Prosperity Gospel" raises a critical concern. This distorted interpretation of faith, penetrating both Protestant and Catholic circles, worships material wealth over spiritual growth. Thomas dissects the beginnings and consequences of the Prosperity Gospel, tracing its roots to radical Protestantism and John Locke's ideas. Unveiling the danger of intertwining heavenly promises with earthly wealth, this episode navigates the implications of privatized religion and its influence on American culture.In Thomas's book, he reveals the hazardous impact of this heretical teaching on modern society. By resurrecting tradition in the face of secularization, our episode sparks inspiration to counteract these influences, rekindling a devotion to authentic faith and preserving the sanctity of Christ's teachings. Join us on this illuminating journey, exploring faith, wealth, culture, and tradition through the lens of Thomas Storck's profound scholarship. Like what you heard?

Ep 85 - Tradition, Wealth, and The Prosperity Gospel: A Conversation with Thomas Storck

In this conversation, James and The Manly Catholic introduce you to Dan McNally, former Theology teacher turned physical therapist. James met Dan as a new employee here in Grand Rapids and they instantly connected based on their love for Jesus, the Church, and their rugged rosaries. Throughout this conversation, James and Dan discuss 7 common misconceptions about the Catholic Church, how a Pope actually dug up his predecessor and put him on trial, and why actually knowing what the Church teaches will embolden your faith, not diminish it. James's challenge: Buy a Catechism (if you have not already!).

ABANDONED… But Not Alone | Dan Donaldson | Episode #066

The title of this episode is inspired by one of my favourite worship songs, &quot;Find Me in the River&quot; by Delirious?
In this episode we encounter two men, King David and the Gerasene Demoniac. Both of these men embody the locale in which they find themselves: at the River Jordan. At the river, God finds them and heals them.
May this same loving God find you at your river.
Here&#39;s a link to the song: <a href="https://youtu.be/WFVmrdik5i8?si=xXd-np28FB8KVzXR" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://youtu.be/WFVmrdik5i8?si=xXd-np28FB8KVzXR</a>
Here&#39;s a link to the scripture readings: <a href="https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/012924.cfm">https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/012924.cfm</a>

Find Me in the River

So much of our struggle in life comes down to one question: do we know who we are in God?

In this episode, John welcomes Carrie Daunt—wife, mother of nine, and speaker with the John Paul II Healing Center—for a powerful conversation on identity and family life. Carrie shares how her newest book, Beloved Son, helps parents speak truth into their children’s hearts, and why reclaiming our identity as beloved sons and daughters of the Father is the foundation for healing and freedom.

Carrie and John also reflect on the challenges men and women face in living out their vocations, the importance of fathers manning their post, and how ordering our lives with God at the center changes everything.

Rooted in Identity with Carrie Daunt

Often it is said that history repeats itself. If fatherhood has changed history before, why not again? Why not you? We are ALL called to be fathers in one way or another. Whether you are a biological father, spiritual father, foster father, or simply mentoring young men, never underestimate the importance of your impact on people's lives. Listen now to discover James' personal testimony on his reluctance to be a father, Fr. Dom's path to the priesthood, and how cervical mucus somehow plays a role in this episode. Say what?! James' challenge! James has taken back-to-back episodes now. This is specifically challenging you married men who have chosen not to pursue fatherhood for whatever reason. Believe us men, James was there at one point. He wasn't ready. He wasn't mature enough. He didn't want to miss out on watching non-stop sports. The excuses were endless. Ask God specifically, "how are you calling me to be a father?" We are all called to fatherhood in some way. Ask God how he is calling you to fulfill your role as a father today.

A Tragic Loss. A Miraculous Sign. A Return to Catholicism.

Evangelizing Without Words, To do this, we must begin by cultivating a close relationship with God. Pray, frequent the sacraments, educate yourself, and turn to Him in your needs. Soon you’ll have many experiences to share because he’ll quickly show you that he’s listening to you. Deacon Harold elaborates on this today and also looking into Soulful Psalm 132:15-18.

Evangelizing Without Words

Most Catholic men pray in the morning, go to Mass on Sunday, then spend most of their lives believing their work has nothing to do with holiness.That lie is costing men their strength, discipline, and authority.In this episode of The Manly Catholic, we bring you a hard-hitting conversation with Fr. Dom, priest, welder, and chaplain at Harmel Academy of the Trades, originally aired on the House of the Builder podcast. This is not a motivational talk about “finding purpose.” This is a restoration of the Catholic vision of work as a weapon in spiritual warfare.Jesus Christ was not weak. He was a tecton — a laborer who worked with His hands, under authority, alongside other men. St. Joseph did the same. God forms men through labor, obedience, responsibility, and sacrifice. When men reject that formation, the enemy steps in.Fr. Dominic exposes the false divide between prayer and labor and shows how attention to detail, endurance, submission to authority, and showing up every day forge men capable of leading families and resisting the devil.This episode issues a clear challenge to Catholic men: Stop wasting your workday spiritually. Offer your labor to God. Work with discipline. Eliminate complaint. Let your job form you into a man who can carry weight.Listen carefully. Then go back to work differently today.<h2>3 Key Quotes</h2><ol><li>“God forms men through responsibility, not comfort.”</li><li>“Every act of labor matters when it is offered to God.”</li><li>“When men stop guarding the garden, the enemy walks in.”</li></ol><h2>Your CHALLENGE</h2>Your job is either forming a saint or weakening a man.

The Future of the Show...

There’s a lot written about leadership today and one of the most popular themes is the question of how to motivate people to follow.  It seems like pretty much everyone agrees that people like to follow winners.  That doesn’t surprise me considering the fact that our Lord himself gave that lesson to his apostles.  He is the ultimate victor and he sends his apostles forth to proclaim His victory.  What does that mean for us practically today in our businesses and in our families?  How can we make Christ’s victory present for the people we lead?

DGT Episode 227 - From Victory to Victory - The Call Part 9

We are in the midst of a series about True Transformation, and we kicked it all off last week talking about fasting. While fasting is one of the great gifts of the Church that can help us to elicit change, it's never going to reach its potential unless it is yoked with a solid prayer life. They are two sides of the same coin. Whenever you see fasting in the scriptures, prayer is not far behind. One allows the other to bear lasting fruit.
The problem for so many of us, though, is that we don't have a meaningful prayer life. Sure, we go to church and we check the boxes, praying while at Mass or before meals, but so many of us just haven't made establishing and growing our prayer life a regular priority. It's just the truth. If we want to become the men that God calls us to be, then we have to build an intimate relationship with Christ through prayer. Listen in this week as John shares about the importance of building a powerful life of prayer and the effect it can have on sustaining lasting change.

True Transformation: Growing in Your Prayer Life

What if everything in your life came down to a single choice&mdash;a leap of faith that took just 20 seconds of insane courage?
In this fire-starter episode of Heroic Stories, Kevin Phillips of Made for Greatness shares how ancient poems, unsung war heroes, and his own bold decisions shaped a life of purpose. From the story of Horatius at the bridge to crawling through enemy territory in Vietnam, these are the stories that ignite something primal&mdash;and spiritual&mdash;in the hearts of men.
Kevin opens up about burning the boats of his career to follow a call to ministry, the terrifying moment on a cliff that taught him to trust, and the deep, hidden strength it takes to fight for your family and faith. This is not about hype or hustle&mdash;it's about sacrifice, grit, and the kind of courage that leaves a legacy.
Whether you&rsquo;re stuck, doubting, or just hungry for meaning, this conversation will remind you: you were made for fire, not for dust.

A Catholic Response to RACISM | Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers | Episode #060

Blessings in disguise certainly apply to this week's episode, gentlemen. Our mistake on forgetting a crucial part of the 'Our Father' prayer on last week's episode turned into an episode jam-packed full of gems this week.  It seems that James' sleepless nights are starting to catch up with him! In this episode, discover how profound the disciples' question to Jesus on how to pray the 'Our Father,' the benefits of putting yourself in the disciples' shoes when you read Scripture, and how Jesus expects us to forgive others.  Forgiveness is the greatest gift we can give someone else and the one that is probably the hardest to give. Men, forgiving others, truly forgiving others, is one of the surest signs of strength in a man. Don't let the shackles of anger and resentment hold you back from this gift. Father Dom's Challenge! This week men, buy the Catechism! Follow the link below to purchase one or dust the one on your bookshelf off and start reading it. Read 1, 2, 10, 100 paragraphs a day. We must know our faith to grow in faith. If we do not know what the Catholic Church teaches, we are in trouble gentlemen.  Thank you to our partners at Hallow!

The Shroud in Exorcism, Demons Stealing The Host, and Resisting Evil

EP 121 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

There is no better way to launch Season 6 of The BeatiDudes than to spend quality time at the tiny table with our longtime friend, youth minister, camp director, and culture-builder, John Egan.
 
This episode blends laughter, faith, and leadership lessons as John shares his winding journey from childhood commercials in New York, seminary life, youth ministry, The Pines Catholic Camp, and eventually into executive leadership at Lucid Private Offices. Along the way, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, Jeff Schiefelbein, and John explore:
 
•	John’s childhood modeling gigs, his quick detour through seminary, and how ministry prepared him for business leadership.
•	Years spent at The Pines Catholic Camp, living faith with family and showing young people what authentic Catholic marriage looks like.
•	Faith in the Secular Workplace: How to bring joy, prayer, and servant leadership into a for-profit setting without compromise.
•	Culture That Sticks: Building a team where people *want* to come to work
•	Humor Meets Holiness: From Ghostbusters nicknames to “snap snap snap” applause, the BeatiDudes keep the joy flowing while grounding the conversation in Christ and community.
 
John’s story reminds us that where you work matters, not just for productivity but for people. Whether leading at camp, selling cars with integrity, or shaping culture in business, he models how faith and joy overflow when Christ is the true foundation.

Faith and Joy at Work | John Egan | Episode #251

Life will surprise you. It likes to throw curveballs at you at unexpected times. Will you swing or duck? Lent is nearing Holy Week, and we’re reflecting on how a righteous man like Joseph faced chaos with virtue.  Picture this: Joseph’s world flips upside down, yet once God’s will clicks, he doesn’t hesitate. He steps up as husband, guardian, and defender. Today’s culture tells men to run from unplanned challenges, abandoning women and kids, and staying at work until 10 PM to "provide for your family." Joseph shows us differently. He prays, discerns, and acts. My challenge to you: take that hurdle in your life and hit your knees. Seek God’s will through prayer today. Don’t let the world’s Herod choke out your call to greatness.  We kick off with St. Michael’s prayer and close with St. Joseph, terror of demons—your spiritual wingmen. This episode’s for men ready to ditch passivity, root themselves in Scripture, and prepare for life’s game days. One week from Holy Week, it’s time to fight. Hit play, brothers—let’s get to work.  References:  <ul><li>Holy Bible (Matthew 1:19)  </li><li>St. Michael Prayer  </li><li>St. Joseph Terror of Demons Prayer</li></ul>Powerful Quotes:  <ol><li>“No more passivity, no more excuses, no more lukewarm faith. This is your battle cry, your call to arms.”  </li><li>“Once his eyes were opened to the will of God, without hesitation, he leaned into it fully and embraced it with great virtue.”  </li><li>“We were not made for comfort. We were made for greatness.”</li></ol>Key Takeaway: Pray today. Take your latest curveball to God, discern His will, and act—don’t let chaos win.  <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!

EP60 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Catholic psychologist Dr. Gregory Bottaro&nbsp;joins&nbsp;A Reason for Hope Podcast&nbsp;to explore why much of secular mental health care is falling short and how integrating&nbsp;faith and psychology&nbsp;offers a more complete path to healing. He shares his journey of discerning a religious vocation with the&nbsp;Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, his mentorship under&nbsp;Fr. Benedict Groeschel, and the deep spiritual wisdom behind&nbsp;Abandonment to Divine Providence. We discuss how&nbsp;faith&nbsp;can transform psychological practices, the impact of&nbsp;sin&nbsp;on mental health, and how the&nbsp;CatholicPsych Institute’s Mentorship model, launched just before the pandemic, is reshaping the landscape of&nbsp;Catholic therapy. Dr. Bottaro also explains the unique approach of&nbsp;Catholic Mindfulness&nbsp;compared to Eastern practices, highlights the saints who have inspired his work, and gives a preview of the upcoming&nbsp;CatholicPsych Institute Summit. ✨Follow our podcast! <a href="https://aoh.lnk.to/jqWMe4CH" target="_blank">https://aoh.lnk.to/jqWMe4CH</a> - Support Our Sponsors -<a href="https://bit.ly/44nYYUw" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;">Scapulars.com</a> - Divine protection in life and in death with the most durable, comfortable scapulars ever made.<a href="https://bit.ly/3RYoVVl" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;">Follow My Camino</a> - Whether you are interested in a fully planned trip, partially guided trip, or in assistance in planning your self-guided trip, Follow My Camino will make sure your Pilgrimage to the Camino is as amazing as it can be. - Connect with us -<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Facebook</a><a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Instagram</a><a href="https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Youtube</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/podcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Website</a> - Connect with CatholicPsych - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/catholicpsych/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CatholicPsych" target="_blank">Facebook</a><a href="https://x.com/catholicpsych" target="_blank">X</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/catholicpsych/" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://catholicpsych.com" target="_blank">Website</a> ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction02:20 Start of Interview 03:29 The Mental Health Crisis and Secular Psychology08:23 Formation and Spirituality in Psychology11:38 Abandonment to Divine Providence14:04 Integrating Faith and Psychology15:43 Scapulars.com16:28 Follow My Camino 17:10 Mentorship Program at Catholic Psych Institute22:19 The Relationship Between Sin and Psychological Health27:01 Exploring Catholic Mindfulness30:01 The Catholic Perspective on Mindfulness35:29 Influential Saints and Their Impact38:47 CatholicPsych Institute Summit 40:16 Chapter: The Relationship Between Faith and Mental Health42:54 Future Directions for Catholic Psych

Understanding the Relationship Between Faith and Mental Health

"I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore, be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves." - Matthew 10:16
 
In this episode of Coffee, Commerce and Catechesis, we are joined by our returning guest Angelo to discuss pursuing business education as a Christian. 
 
Through our conversation, we explore:
 
- The historical connection between Christianity and universities - how the Church gave birth to higher education in the West
- Our varied paths to business education - an MBA, BBA, and biomedical technology master's degree
- The challenges Christians face in secular business schools, from hostile ideologies to social pressure
- How to maintain your faith identity while pursuing professional development
- The temptation to make academic credentials and career success into idols
- Practical advice for Christians considering business school:
Being discerning about what you learn and from whomStaying grounded in your Christian identity
Serving others rather than competing ruthlessly
Examining your true motivations for pursuing the degree- Ways to navigate drinking culture and social pressure in MBA programs
- The importance of remembering that your worth comes from being created in God's image, not credentials
 
Throughout our discussion, we share personal experiences from both studying and teaching in business schools. Angelo offers particularly valuable insights about maintaining Christian integrity while teaching business without formal business credentials.
 
We conclude with scriptural guidance, including the warning from Luke 12:15 to "watch out and be on guard against all kinds of greed" - a crucial reminder for Christians entering the business world.

MBAs and Business School with Angelo Nwigwe

ILT Ep33 Matthew James Christoff

As we celebrate our independence, Deacon Harold breaks down the freedom we can truly have when we depend on God.

Dependance on God

John Kowalski is best known to Exorcist Files listeners as the man who prayed for Father Martins' spine and back issues. God showed up in a powerful way. Turns out he has lots of stories like that and we invited him on the show to share his own experiences with healing and spiritual warfare. <a href="https://johnjkowalski.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://johnjkowalski.com/</a>Thank you to our sponsors See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.

Spiritual and Physical Healing with John Kowalski

On today's Beacon of Truth Deacon Harold talks about the unity of Christians, attending non-denominational services and psalm 75:15-20 on soulful psalms.

That They May Be One

Fr. Andrew Dalton is a Catholic priest of the Legionaries of Christ and professor of theology at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in Rome. He teaches the Synoptic Gospels and Biblical Greek and Hebrew and has become a leading international voice on the Shroud of Turin. On this Bonus episode of The BeatiDudes, Fr. Dalton reflects on his journey to the priesthood, which includes an incredible college chapter during which he served as the Georgia Tech Mascot “Buzz” and powerful Holy Spirit nudges from a friend who ended up on a reality TV show on MTV.On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a Drunk Uncle to address the prompt, “_________, a near occasion of sin.” <a href="https://www.othoniainternational.org">Shroud Studies</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

Revealing the FACE of God | Fr. Andrew Dalton | Episode #082

“Return to me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning; rend your hearts and not your garments.” Deacon Harold shares how we are "marked for change" more thoughts as we head into Ash Wednesday and the Lenten Season and also looking at Soulful Psalm

Ash Wednesday: Marked for Change

Fr. Ken Geraci lived the life of the prodigal son for most of his young adult life. Raised in a nominally Catholic family, who only lived the externals of the faith, Fr. Ken left the Catholic Church for many years. During that time, he earned a business degree and worked as a business professional in Advanced R&amp;D and software testing.  During this journey, God presented him with challenges that forced him to question his personal beliefs and the question, “What is Truth?” Through a series of conversions, years of struggle, study, and questioning, Fr. Ken found his way from agnosticism to non-denominational Christianity, and ultimately back to the Catholic Church. Fr. Ken joined the Fathers of Mercy in 2006 and was ordained in 2012. Fr. Ken has a great understanding of the personal and societal pressures that individuals face and knows what it is like to “hate coming to church.” His mission talks are for people of all levels of faith, from those who are madly in love with Jesus to those who struggle with church and religion.In this episode, Fr. Ken shares the history of his order and discusses the current crisis of manhood. The BeatiDudes joke about Fr. Ken’s understated crucifix before inviting him to judge their comedy woes on “Blessed are the Joke Makers.” As we follow Fr. Ken through the journey of his life, we come to learn of his spiritual gift of healing. This show ends with a deep reflection on the process of healing, along with a healing exercise that all are welcome to join. Fair warning, we told you the BeatiDudes was a blend of humor and holiness, prepare for a big dose of both. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a>joinsolidarity.com <a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The Fathers of Mercy:</h2><a href="https://fathersofmercy.com/">Fathers of Mercy Website</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

Catholic Priest with The GIFT OF HEALING | Fr. Ken Geraci | Episode #013

In today's episode, Bishop Barron fields questions from people all over the world, including: <ul> <li>How do we reconcile love as willing the good of the other with more exclusive love, such as the love between a husband and wife?</li> <li>Some Protestant theologians say that John 6 is not talking about transubstantiation because this dialogue took place before the institution of the Eucharist. What do you think?</li> <li>What does the Catholic Church say about predestination and free will?</li> <li>Why does God need to be worshipped and glorified, and need sacrifices? On human terms, this sounds like his love is conditional and he is insecure.</li> <li>Can dogma be changed or overthrown?</li> <li>Was Jesus a socialist?</li> <li>What are the essential qualities/qualifications needed for evangelism? Degrees or degree program recommendations?</li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bishopbarron">Become a patron</a> and get some great perks for helping, like free books, bonus content, and more.

Break the Instant Gratification Trap | Ep 3

You shouldn’t have to tell anyone you’re a disciple of Christ—your life should make it obvious.

Join John and Victor in the pew as they explore how true discipleship is revealed not in words, but in the way we live. If you’re truly a disciple of Christ, your life should look different—so much so that others can see it without you ever saying a word.

Reflect on the most important question Jesus ever asked: “Who do you say that I am?” Remember on the day of judgment, the answer won’t be spoken—it will have been lived.

Is "Therapy Culture" Toxic? (Dr. Gerry Crete) | Ep. 541

Just recently, Catholics were devastated to learn of another case of sexual abuse, this time involving Jean Vanier, the esteemed founder of L'Arche and a man once considered to be a living saint. Vanier, who passed away last year, was accused of sexually assaulting six women in France, using his religious position to abuse and manipulate them. How do we make sense of all this? How can a man who produced enormous good fruit fail so abysmally? And how should Catholics respond to this sort of abuse, and prevent it from happening again? Bishop Barron offers advice on all these questions and more. A listener asks how energetic young people, passionate about apologetics and evangelization, can take their study to the next level.

Journey to Becoming a Cardinal w/ Archbishop Emeritus Thomas Cardinal Collins

Pope Leo

CatholicHÔM stands for Catholic Households on Mission. What’s the mission? To help each other love like Christ. CatholicHÔM is the first-ever digital platform dedicated to helping Catholic families encounter Christ more meaningfully at home and draw closer to each other by living the Liturgy of Domestic Church Life. More 2 Life's Greg Popchak joins Deacon Harold today to talk about this and looking into Soulful Psalm 81:14-17.

Dr. Greg and Lisa Popcak

What if the moment you built your life around&mdash;your career, your ambitions, your independence&mdash;was taken away in an instant? Dean faced that reality when he learned he was going blind. Mid-career, with a family relying on him, he spiraled into self-doubt and isolation. But instead of letting darkness consume him, he found new heroes, a deeper faith, and a mission to serve.
From learning how to navigate a world without sight to walking into a maximum-security prison to bring hope to the forgotten, his story is one of resilience, Brotherhood, and faith. If you&rsquo;ve ever felt lost, stuck, or alone, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what true strength looks like&mdash;and where to find it.

How a Prison Ministry Changed My Life with Dean Patterson

What do you think of when you think of holiness? Maybe you think of Jesus, his Apostles, the Saints, and the clergy. But did you know that we are all called to holiness?“You shall therefore be perfect, as your Father, Who is in Heaven, is perfect.” - Matthew 5:48What an intimidating thought that is. With the help of our guest, Ian Doll, we decode the call to holiness and what it means in our lives. Fear not, the call is a beautiful one, not a burdensome one.Intro: 0:00 - 2:14Opus Dei and Voca...

The Call to Holiness with Ian Doll

What happens when you follow a nudge from the Holy Spirit? In this moving episode of Heroic Hotline, we hear the true story of a quiet invitation that changed everything. It started with a simple gesture&mdash;buying a ticket to a men's conference. But that single act of friendship sparked a two-year journey that led a 70-year-old atheist to baptism, peace, and ultimately, eternal hope.
Told through personal reflections, unforgettable moments, and a powerful witness of transformation, this episode explores the true cost of discipleship, the quiet power of presence, and the unfathomable mercy of God. You'll hear how small taps, authentic friendship, and community support created a ripple effect that shaped a man&rsquo;s final months and gave meaning to a life once distant from faith.
This is a story of heroic outreach, persistent love, and the kind of spiritual victory only God can orchestrate. If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered whether one invite matters&mdash;this episode answers that with a resounding yes.

Despite the efforts of Dr. King and the countless others who gave their hearts, souls, and lives to the cause of justice, peace, and equality, racism remains an evil that endures in our society. This is not because he failed, not by a long shot! Deacon Harold breaks this open more today as we honor MLK Day and also look into Soulful Psalm 141:1-5

The Meaning of Suffering

Rod Dreher is a bestselling author and cultural critic known for his incisive commentary on faith, politics, and modern society. His landmark books The Benedict Option and Live Not By Lies have shaped conversations on Christian resilience in an age of decline, while his newest work, Living in Wonder, turns inward, exploring beauty, suffering, and the search for meaning. Dreher's voice is unapologetically countercultural, drawing on Orthodox Christianity and a deep skepticism of modern ideological conformity. 🍺 Want to Support Pints With Aquinas? 🍺 Get episodes a week early, score a free PWA beer stein, and join exclusive live streams with me!

Tyranny and the Post-Christian West (Rod Dreher) | Ep. 532

In the myriads of articles and books written on leadership, it’s astonishing how few times truth is mentioned.  Certainly, there are many reasons for this but that fact that so many feel that truth can be omitted from a conversation on leadership only underscores its importance, especially or Christian leaders.  But for many of us the questions remain: “why is truth important?”, “does truth divide us rather than unite us?”, and if there is a truth how do we come to know it?  Welcome to the first of a series dedicated to these questions?

A lot of people expect leadership to go smoothly and when it doesn’t they think that they have done something wrong.  This can of course be true but is it always this way?  How do we lead in a suffering and tragic situation?  Simon Peter shows us in the Acts of The Apostles - giving us a great example.

EP 143 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

John Krasinski's new film, A Quiet Place, which he both directs and stars in, may at first seem like a typical thriller, with lurking monsters threatening to kill everyone in their path. But it's actually a surprisingly religious movie, as Bishop Barron explains, witnessing to the monastic response to evil, the dignity of life, and the sacrificial death of Christ on the Cross. A listener asks about the next steps for someone who has said "yes" to Jesus and the Church. *SPOILER ALERT!* This episode contains spoilers so only listen after you've seen the film, or if you don't plan to see it. Topics Discussed <ul> <li>0:04 - Introduction, Bishop Barron's vacation</li> <li>2:25 - What is the plot summary of the movie?</li> <li>4:40 - Did John Krasinski intend on making this a religious movie?</li> <li>6:25 - What are some of the key religious motifs presented in the film?</li> <li>10:20 - How does this movie display the beauty of the pro-life argument?</li> <li>15:25 - How does the Christus Victor theory of atonement become a motif within this film?</li> <li>18:50 - How does the Church draw parallels with the ending of A Quiet Place?</li> <li>21:40 - Question - What are the next steps for someone who has said "Yes" to Jesus/Church?</li> </ul> Have a question for Bishop Barron?

In this second video series, Kapaun's Men examines how the concept of Stewardship helps us recognize the unique set of gifts God has given to each of us and how to use those gifts well. By focusing on Hospitality, Prayer, Formation and Service, this 10-part series helps us live as a gift to others and leave behind a legacy for our family, friends, and the world. As our model, Father Emil Kapaun, taught, "God gave us our gifts, not for our own glory or pride, but that we might use them for God's greater honor and glory. Use your gifts to help your fellow man as much as you can." (10 Sessions) Please Note: This series is intended to follow the Kapaun’s Men Virtue Series, which introduces you to the life and virtues of Servant of God Emil Kapaun.&nbsp;

Kapaun’s Men Stewardship Series (Series Two)

Manny Gonzalez is back with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for a vulnerable conversation aimed at helping fathers when approaching tough topics. 
Building on his powerful Monday testimony, Manny shares how his own parents walked with him through his experience of being sexually attracted to men and how they held together Catholic teaching, real human tenderness, and a long-term relationship with their son.
The conversation dives into the language we use around same sex attraction, how parents can create a safe space for their kids to ask hard questions, and why waiting for one big version of “the talk” is not enough in a culture where kids encounter complex topics early and often. Manny offers concrete stories and principles that help dads speak truth without turning their children into projects, grounding everything in the reality that every son and daughter is first a beloved child of God.

Advice for Fathers Facing Tough Topics | Manny Gonzalez | Episode #280

Today Deacon Harold we are talking to Ken Hallenius from the DeNicola Center for Ethics & Culture, University of Notre Dame.

Ethics & Culture

A major trend in popular spirituality right now, mindfulness is a technique by which practitioners focus on the present moment and what they objectively experience through their senses. The idea behind the technique is to interrupt thoughts and judgments that can potentially be overwhelming and heighten anxiety, thus reducing depression and other mental health disorders. Deacon Harold continues Music Week talking about mediation and Soulful Psalm 121.

Music & Meditation

Today Deacon is on the road bringing us his challenge of becoming a Catholic Man from his Live event at the North Texas Catholic Men's Conference.

Being a Catholic Man

Men, Holy Week is upon us, and the finish line is in sight. Whether Lent has been a triumph or a struggle, now is your chance to lock in. Easter’s close, but we’re not there yet.   St. Joseph lived hidden, guarding the God-man in silence while the world ignored him. His humility shone in poverty and trials, his faith unshaken by darkness. He’s our model now. Here’s your challenge: Simplify your life today. Too many prayers? Too much noise? Pick one thing—silence, Scripture, a single act of charity—and do it well, humbly, like Joseph. Maybe you’ve stumbled this Lent; doesn’t matter. It’s how you finish that counts. Lean into his example to make this Holy Week your strongest yet.  Men, Satan trembles at Joseph’s quiet strength. Want to honor God and enter Easter’s mystery? Simplify and focus. Products/References Mentioned:  <ul><li>Consecration to St. Joseph by Father Donald Calloway</li></ul>Powerful Quotes:  <ol><li>“Joseph sought God in simplicity. Joseph found God in detachment. Joseph enjoyed God’s company in obscurity.”  </li><li>“He guards a God-man and breathes not a word of it. He is the witness of so great a mystery and he tastes it in secret without divulging it abroad.”  </li><li>“Not how you start, it’s how you finish. Right, gentlemen? How can we simplify our lives? How can we finish strong?”</li></ol>Key Takeaway: Simplify today—choose one humble act, like sitting in silence, and do it with focus. Start now to mirror St. Joseph and end Lent strong.<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!
