Ep 107 - The Joy of Suffering with Dr. Paul Chaloux

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I say rejoice.On the Third Sunday of Advent, Gaudete Sunday, the Church commands us to do something radical: rejoice, not later, not when life gets easier, but now. In this episode, Fr. Dom breaks open what true Christian joy actually is and why it matters for Catholic men who are fighting daily battles in their homes, their minds, and their souls.This is not sentimental joy. This is not shallow happiness. This is joy rooted in Jesus Christ, joy forged through hope and peace, joy that survives suffering, persecution, and the chaos of the world. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the Catechism, and the wisdom of the saints, we walk through the Advent virtues of hope, peace, and joy and why gratitude is the weapon that crushes Satan every time.Fr. Dom reflects on family, tradition, and memory, not for nostalgia’s sake, but to remind us what we are fighting for. Then we go deeper. Hope is not optimism. Peace is not comfort. Joy is not dependent on circumstances. These are theological realities planted in your soul at baptism and strengthened through the sacraments.We confront the lie that joy is optional or reserved for the emotionally stable. If joy is missing, something is blocking it. That obstacle must be dragged into the light and surrendered to Christ. This episode ends with a direct challenge: give your heart back to God completely, tear down the idols that have crept in this year, and let Christ declare war on the darkness within you.This is Advent lived like a Catholic man should live it: awake, disciplined, grateful, and ready.3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode<ol><li>“When we embrace deep gratitude, Satan can’t touch you. Praying in gratitude crushes Satan.”</li><li>“Hope is not optimism. It is a theological virtue planted in your soul at baptism.”</li><li>“Lord, invade my heart. Declare war on the darkness within me and bring light.”</li></ol>1 Key Takeaway for Men Today, make a deliberate act of gratitude to God for your salvation and the sacraments. Name it out loud. Gratitude clears anxiety, weakens temptation, and restores joy. This is not optional. It is spiritual warfare.Push play. Rejoice. Then fight like a man who knows Christ is near.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms">Send us a text</a> <a rel="payment" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href='https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc'>Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Fr. Dom's Homs - Gaudete Sunday: Why Real Joy Is a Weapon the Enemy Fears

Deacon Craig Anderson discusses “We are Deacons: Our Important Role in the Church”. Deacon Craig will be speaking in depth about the integral role that deacons play, and how it has changed and matured over time.  

ABOUT DEACON 

Deacon Craig Anderson was ordained in February 2011 for the Byzantine Catholic Eparchy (Diocese) of Phoenix,  which serves the 13 western states, and is part of the Byzantine Catholic Church in America, an Eastern Catholic Church in full communion with the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church. 

He retired after a career in the Fire service, working as a Fire investigator and fire prevention officer for a northern California Fire Dept. Before that he worked as a Roman Catholic lay minister and high school teacher. He has a Master of Arts degree in Theology and Ministry from Franciscan University of Steubenville, where he met his wife MaryTherese. 

They have five adult children and eight grandchildren. Deacon Craig has been involved in ministry to men for most of his life (and previously served on the Board for Catholic Men's Fellowship of California). He and his wife recently relocated to Fort Worth, Texas.

We Are Deacons: Our Important Role in the Church

The entire Christian life is a journey and restoration of relationship with God, the Father. Each man is a prodigal son who had to take personal responsibility for what he has done and the moment he takes an initiative to seek forgiveness, the Father is waiting with open arms. By Christ’s wounds, we are healed. Jeff describes how sharing his wounds is a source of healing both for himself and others. “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery” (Galatians 5:1).

Episode 8: Restoration with the Father

He played tennis and beach volleyball in high school and the latter when he was a student-athlete at Texas State University. Present day he participates in mixed martial arts, lifting weights, hiking, and doing Spartan races. He is co-founder of and fitness director for Hypuro Fit, whose mission is to bring a technically excellent and authentically Catholic approach to personal training. He also has a story about his own reversion to the Catholic faith, which he shares during this interview.

CSR 312 Chase Crouse

He was chosen one year ago this month in the third round of the National Football League Draft, 72nd overall by the Seattle Seahawks. He is an offensive tackle who appeared in all but one of Seattle's 17 games this past season and was named to the All-Rookie Team. He also played his college football there in the Pacific Northwest, having been a four-year starter at right tackle for Washington State, starting 42 consecutive games. He was the first Cougars offensive lineman in program history to earn All-Pac-12 Conference honors four times and would go on to play in the Senior Bowl. During his student-athlete days in high school he was named All-USA Washington second-team by USA Today.

CSR 219 Abraham Lucas

Deacon Harold is looking into the readings for 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C on Word of God Wednesday and Soulful Psalm 132

20th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

A NASCAR Hall of Famer who was the 1983 champion of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and had three Daytona 500 victories, among numerous other titles and championships. He won on 27 different tracks and had at least three wins in every NASCAR major. He ended his career with 85 victories and was named one of NASCAR's "50 Greatest Drivers." He was also a seven-time Most Popular Driver Award-winner.

CSR 142 Bobby Allison

He played college hockey and now coaches in that sport, while serving as the Board President for Catholic Sports Camps. (His father had run a hockey camp in the 1980s with the Chicago Blackhawks.) All that despite having also attended (for graduate school) the largest Catholic university in the United States, because, he talks here of being called back to the church after falling away after he left his parents' house, having been raised a cradle Catholic.

CSR 22 Chris Gomez

The Senior Associate Athletics Director at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, including serving as the sport administrator for men's soccer, women's basketball, and men's & women's swimming and diving, among other responsibilities. Previously she spent 14 years as the head women's volleyball coach at Milwaukee, where her teams compiled a remarkable 118-14 record in Horizon League play over her last ten seasons. In 2017 she was inducted into the Milwaukee Athletics Hall of Fame. Earlier in her career she was an assistant coach at three different universities, after having been a standout volleyball player at the University of Notre Dame.

CSR 101 Kathy Litzau

Kurt Klement, the executive director of Divine Renovation and a longtime Catholic missionary in the Diocese of Dallas, joins the BeatiDudes – Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein. Kurt shares a behind-the-scenes look at what it means to walk alongside others, whether through mission trips, street ministry, or formation in daily life.
 
Kurt opens up about his journey from a high school retreat conversion to leading mission experiences across borders and zip codes. From the heat of West Texas to the chill of Czech pubs, he’s seen that missionary work isn’t about distance traveled, it’s about intentional presence and radical receptivity to God’s call.
 
The Dudes and Kurt dive into:
•	How real transformation starts with accompaniment, not agendas
•	Why spiritual growth happens when you're uncomfortable
•	The tension between planning for your ministry needs and letting God interrupt your calendar
•	Leading with humility in a world obsessed with hustle
•	How to foster “missionary eyes” in your everyday routine
 
This episode will inspire you to live as a missionary disciple, whether you’re crossing oceans or just crossing the street.

Gladiators and Fraternities: The Sacrament of Baptism

What happens when you say yes to God&hellip; even when it means giving up your own dreams? In this powerful episode of Heroic Stories, Gil Alderete opens up about his unexpected journey from UPS driver to president of Catholic Men's Fellowship of California. Gil shares how God redirected his life, pulling him away from his plans to become a deacon and into building ministry for men across California, Nevada, Hawaii, and beyond.
But Gil&rsquo;s story isn&rsquo;t just about leadership&mdash;it&rsquo;s about healing old wounds, breaking generational cycles, and discovering what real masculinity and faith look like when you surrender. You&rsquo;ll hear how heroic mentors, humble beginnings, and even deep struggles with identity shaped him into the man God called him to be.
If you&rsquo;ve ever felt lost, doubted your calling, or wondered how to find your purpose, Gil&rsquo;s raw, honest journey will remind you: heroism isn&rsquo;t born, it&rsquo;s made.
