They Escaped Satanism and The Occult: Riaan Swiegelaar and Adele Vrey

What does it take to stand firm in your faith when everyone around you bends? In this soul-stirring address, Father Deacon Andrew Bennett explores the heroic witness of St. John Henry Newman&mdash;a man who chose truth over popularity, conviction over comfort. Through vivid storytelling and powerful exhortation, we see how Newman&rsquo;s unflinching courage still calls us today to live counterculturally. Learn why compromise is the enemy of clarity, and how Newman&rsquo;s spiritual legacy speaks directly to Catholic men striving to live authentic, public faith in an age of confusion. If you&rsquo;ve ever felt pressure to water down your beliefs, this is the call to rise.

The Saint Who Refused to Compromise | St. John Henry Newman

Reflection: Joseph's obscurity hid greatness. Temperance moderates ambition for heavenly goals. Daily Challenge: Reject a self-serving opportunity; choose service instead. Prayer: St. Joseph, lowly yet great, humble my ambitions.

Men: What if the world is wrong about masculinity? What if being a man is NOT about power, control, and getting what you want? Father Larry's bestseller book comes to you in an epic 12-part series&mdash;only on Heroic Men. God made you a man. And God doesn't make mistakes.
This world is confused. It doesn&rsquo;t know what a real man is anymore. A real man doesn&rsquo;t live in isolation. He doesn&rsquo;t sit around making excuses for his selfishness. He doesn&rsquo;t let fear or pride control his life.
Look at the Cross. The perfect man, Jesus Christ, was nailed to it. Not for Himself. Not for His comfort. But for YOU. That is what it means to be a man&mdash;to lay down your life for others, to surrender your ego, to stop living for yourself and start living for Christ.
The question isn&rsquo;t whether or not you want to be a man. The question is: will you become the man God made you to be?

Be a Man! The New Series with Fr Larry Richards | Only on Heroic Men — FIRST LOOK

With raw humor, spiritual grit, and deeply personal stories, Father Larry Richards challenges Catholic men to step into their true identity&mdash;not just as believers, but as beloved sons, courageous warriors, and men of God.
Each chapter dismantles modern passivity and spiritual lukewarmness, calling men to deeper prayer, unshakable discipline, real repentance, and radical love. From embracing the Father&rsquo;s love to breaking free from sin, living by the Spirit, and becoming a servant leader at home and in the world&mdash;this series gives men the spiritual playbook they&rsquo;ve been craving.
If you&rsquo;ve ever wrestled with anger, lust, weakness, pride, or purpose, you&rsquo;re not alone&mdash;and this series is your training ground. Get ready to be challenged, inspired, and transformed. It&rsquo;s time to be the man you were created to be.

Be a Man! with Fr Larry Richards

Finding Joy and Faith in Cooking

Today, we’re digging into “Joseph Most Prudent, ”a man who didn’t just dodge the chaos but faced it head-on with wisdom and guts. He is the the kind of steady we’re chasing, men, and this episode’s your wake-up call to ditch the impulse and grab some foresight.We’re breaking down prudence—not some timid, thumb-twiddling caution, but practical, hard-hitting wisdom. Joseph’s a carpenter, not a loudmouth—measuring twice, cutting once, whether it’s wood or life. From quietly shielding Mary to hauling his family to Egypt in the dead of night, he’s all about calculated courage. I’ll get real with you too—my own temper’s a mess by 7 p.m., and I’m owning it. Prudence isn’t loud, but it’s strong, and it’s what turns hotheads into men who build something lasting.Here’s your challenge: Pick one decision you’ve been dodging—maybe a tough talk with your wife, a raise you deserve, or that temper itching to blow. Don’t wing it. Pray it out, think it through, then act by tomorrow night. Count to 10, hit a Hail Mary, lean on St. Joseph—make it deliberate, not rash. Push play now to hear how Joseph’s moves can sharpen yours. Lent’s not for coasting—it’s for stepping up, and I’m here to walk you through it.Hit that button, brothers. This one’s raw, packed with meat, and ready to light a fire under you. Let’s get prudent and get after it—together.Products and References Mentioned:<ul><li>The Bible: References include Matthew 1 (Joseph’s response to Mary’s pregnancy), Matthew 2 (flight to Egypt), and Proverbs 8:12 (“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence”).</li><li>New Advent: Cited for the definition of prudence as “right reason applied to practice.”</li><li>BuyMeACoffee.com/TMC: Support the podcast—link in show notes for donations from $5 to $50 monthly, with gear perks.</li></ul>3 Powerful Quotes:<ol><li>“Prudence isn’t just about being cautious or playing it safe. It’s practical wisdom. The ability to see what is right and do it. Even when it’s tough.”</li><li>“Inaction, men, is also an action. We cannot forget that sometimes it’s prudent to wait, to seek counsel. But you can wait too long, and that in itself is making a decision.”</li><li>“Prudence is quiet, men, but it is strong. It’s not a weakness. Joseph does not shout his plans from the rooftops—he’s working them out in his shop, in the night, in prayer.”</li></ol>Slow down before you snap—prudence starts now.

In this episode, we are honored to welcome Dr. Julia Sadusky, a faithful Catholic, licensed psychologist, and thoughtful author whose work reflects a deep reverence for the human person and the Church's vision of human sexuality. We speak about the cross of loneliness borne by many Christian men and women experiencing same-sex attraction, particularly those embracing a life of chastity and permanent singleness in fidelity to Christ. We also delve into her recent book, offering wisdom for parents striving to speak truthfully and lovingly to their children about God's design for the body, sex, and identity. Finally, Dr. Sadusky shares how she carries the burden of public misunderstanding and criticism, offering her suffering in union with the Cross. This is a conversation rooted in compassion, truth, and the hope that is ours in Christ.

Men, I want you to break the chains of unforgiveness.&nbsp; I want you to live freely. Unforgiveness is hurting you more than anyone else, and probably more than you know. It's time to release yourself from the prison you have been within. And you have the key to do it - the key of forgiveness.

Ep 26: The Amazing 13-Step Process of Forgiveness!

50% of young men abandon faith in the Church - and God altogether - because they believe faith and science are in conflict.

Sexual Temptations: A favorite tactic of the devil | Part 9 | Lent 2024

What if the most powerful kind of heroism isn&rsquo;t loud, celebrated, or even noticed&mdash;but lived quietly every single day? In The Quiet Heroism of Fatherhood, Rob Astorino shares what it really means to be a man, a father, and a leader when no one&rsquo;s watching. From the pressures of public life and politics to the deeply personal moments of raising children, he reveals why showing up consistently matters more than any title or achievement. This episode dives into faith, family, sacrifice, and the unseen battles men fight to stay present for the people who need them most. If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered what actually defines a great man&mdash;or how to become one&mdash;this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about success, purpose, and legacy.

Father Michael McGivney is a documentary that brings to life the story of one of America's most extraordinary Catholic priests. Born in Connecticut of Irish immigrant parents just a few years before the Civil War, Michael McGivney grew up at a time when millions of Catholic immigrants were struggling to overcome poverty and prejudice. As a parish priest in the gritty New England manufacturing town of New Haven, he made a deep impact on his community, earning the respect of the Protestant establishment and the love of his parishioners at St. Mary's Church. Emboldened to care for families threatened by the death of the breadwinner, Fr. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, a mutual benefit society that today remains the world's largest Catholic lay organization with 1.8 million members in 13 nations. This film offers a rare glimpse into the life of an extraordinary priest and visionary leader. From defending the persecuted Church to protecting widows and orphans, Father Michael McGivney celebrates the triumphs and tribulations of a priest who may very well be America's first canonized parish priest.

This movie is not rated, but is suitable for all ages.

A third type of stronghold are inner vows, the promises we make to ourselves in an attempt to avoid future pain. They control us, robbing us of freedom, and can negatively affect our relationships - and bring about some of the bitter fruits in our lives. Being aware that we may have made these spiritually binding heart promises is the first step in breaking free of them!

Ep 23: Inner Vows - The Silent Contract with the Enemy of Our Heart

Brad Hubbard joins The BeatiDudes for a rich and hope-filled conversation about woundedness, healing, and what it means for our lives to be transformed in Christ. Drawing from theology, lived experience, and the formation work of Encounter Ministries, Brad helps reframe wounds not as permanent stains, but as places where God’s victory can be revealed. The BeatiDudes explore how even Christ’s resurrected body still bears wounds, not as signs of defeat, but as marks of love, redemption, and triumph.
Along the way, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein lean into both deep theology and classic BeatiDudes banter, connecting inner healing, identity, prophecy, and suffering to everyday discipleship. From football heartbreak to spiritual formation, the episode keeps circling back to one core truth: healing is not about erasing the past, but about letting God reign in it.
Brad also shares practical details about the formation path offered through Encounter Ministries, including the structure of their first year and an upcoming summer intensive in Dallas. This episode is equally thoughtful, practical, and joyfully human, reminding listeners that hope is always stronger than despair.

Today John and Sam are joined by a Knight of the Holy Eucharist, Br. Angelo, to discuss the crisis of men losing their faith in the Eucharist. This is a problem that goes to the very depths of our Faith and is a non-negotiable teaching of Catholicism. Still, we find the majority of Catholic men not understanding or even believing in Christ's real presence in the Eucharist. With the help of Our Lady, we seek to correct this error and show men a way to deepen their understanding and ultimate love of Christ.To Learn More about the Knights of the Holy Eucharist:Website: <a href="http://knights.org/">Knights.org </a>YouTube Page: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/HolyEucharistKnights">https://www.youtube.com/user/HolyEucharistKnights</a>🔴 The Catholic Gentleman On PatreonJoin the movement of The Catholic Gentleman by supporting us and getting incredible gifts as a thank you for your support: https://patreon.com/catholicgentleman Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 15 Prudence in Temptation | Bishop Joe Coffey

“God has not created us for the perishable and transitory things of earth, but for things heavenly and everlasting.” Join us for a provocative and faith-filled conversation on artificial intelligence, truth, and the Catholic worldview. In this episode, Rigel and Travis explore an extraordinary ChatGPT transcript in which an MIT student leads the AI model to a bold conclusion: that Catholic Christianity is the most rational, historical, and logically coherent worldview. Our discussion explores:- How ChatGPT responds to theological and philosophical questions when rigorously prompted- The danger of relativism and the cultural bias embedded in most modern discourse- Why miracles—if even one is true—are sufficient to validate the supernatural claims of the Church- What the Church teaches about miracles and how they’re rigorously tested (including examples like Lourdes)- The difference between scientism and true scientific reasoning—and why science alone can’t explain the fullness of human experience- How prompts and custom instructions shape AI output—and what that tells us about modern epistemology- Simulation theory, Elon Musk’s worldview, and how scientism circles back to belief in a “creator” of a different kind- A call for intellectual humility and a rational path toward faith in Christ and the Church He founded Whether you’re a believer, skeptic, or simply curious about how AI intersects with metaphysical questions, this episode will challenge you to consider not just what is true—but how we come to know it. Rigel and Travis emphasize that while AI can offer clarity, it must never become a substitute for truth itself. Instead, it can serve as a powerful tool—when wielded carefully—to highlight the profound coherence of the Catholic faith. Resources:Want to read the full ChatGPT conversation?

Exodus Advent Challenge | The BeatiDudes | Episode #4 of 5

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.

Whatever You Did for the Least of These... | Armando Parrish | Episode #235

"When the Son sets you free you are free indeed." - John 8:36The Holy Spirit brings freedom from fear, anger, and the past. So often Christians find themselves bound by so many things and are not aware that the Holy Spirit wants to bring the freedom of God to them. Many are slaves to anger, envy, jealousy, comparisons, and addictions. You do not have to live life like that. In this segment we will discuss how the Holy Spirit can bring you greater freedom.<a href="https://wildgoose.tv/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Wild Goose Website</a> | <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hOAVbPbyXfzLijwZdhtcqa9_9bHFiff1/view?usp=drive_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Study Guide</a>

The Spirit's Freedom | Episode 12

Whether we like it or not, we all have feelings. . .and lots of them!! Our emotions are a gift. They are meant to be warning signs, indicators, and signals to help us better understand ourselves and the world around us. But when our emotions go unregulated and ignored, it can often cause disaster.&nbsp;
Noble Gibbens is a prime example of the radical transformation that can take place in a person's life when they begin Seeking Excellence in a previously ignored realm of their life. Noble is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, former Army Infantry Officer, and an outstanding entrepreneur. He and his awesome wife Kathy host the EQ for Entrepreneurs podcast and run courses on emotional health through their website.&nbsp;

Episode 265 - Jesus rebukes Martha’s distraction and praises Mary’s devotion to Him - Sunday July 20, 2025 - Lk 10:38-42

Alan Diaz didn’t find belonging in the streets of Harlem or in a gang; he found it in real brotherhood. Growing up without a father, he got pulled into the Bloods, searching for something that could never fill the void. The regret weighed heavy, but his story didn’t end there.Alan’s life took a turn when love and faith stepped in—starting with his wife, Daniela, and powerful mentors like Father Orlando and his brother Mike. They didn’t just support him; they showed him the way to redemption.Here’s the punchline: true strength isn’t about playing tough. It’s about humility, forgiveness, and the bonds you build in Christ’s love. Alan’s journey is proof that the hardest struggles can forge the most authentic relationships. And if you’re still chasing something real, it’s time to look in the right place.

From Gang Life to Grace: Alan Diaz's Journey to Seek Heroic Manhood

A First Responder’s Panic Attack Led to the Catholic Church

When a Pro Athlete Embraces Sainthood, everything changes&mdash;from the locker room to the prison chapel. In this powerful episode, former NFL and CFL star John Chick opens up about his unlikely path from professional football to leading prison ministry and training men in faith and fitness. Through stories of mercy missions, family life with 11 children, and his Act F8 Iron Saint method, Chick shows how discipline, suffering, and spiritual hunger can become doorways to something greater.
What happens when your body is no longer your greatest strength? How do you answer the call to deeper purpose&mdash;especially in a world that celebrates noise over virtue? This isn&rsquo;t just a testimony. It&rsquo;s a blueprint for becoming the kind of man the world desperately needs. From childhood soup kitchens to encounters with Christ behind bars, Chick invites you into a life of clarity, strength, and purpose.

"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

Keep the sabbath holy. We know it’s a commandment which means that it’s non-negotiable. But how seriously do we take this commandment? Deep down, do we consider this to be more of an optional commandment?On today’s episode we get real about the importance of the sabbath and what it really means to keep it holy. We discuss cultural differences, childhood memories and how early experiences shaped our behaviour. We also talk about the different forms that “rest” can take on the sabbath along wit...

The Sabbath In a Culture Without Time For It with Angelo Nwigwe

Colossians 3.13 says, "as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.” 
We must forgive. It is not an option. Do you know that everyone in heaven has forgiven everyone in their life for everything bad ever done to them? Bob covers the emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical benefits of forgiveness, as well as what forgiveness IS and IS NOT.

True Freedom

Sacred artist and stained-glass master Aaron Frei joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for a wide-ranging conversation that blends theology, art, discernment, and plenty of classic BeatiDudes banter. Aaron shares his journey from studying theology at the University of Dallas to discerning monastic life with the Hungarian Cistercians, and ultimately returning to serve the Church through sacred art.
The conversation explores why stained glass is uniquely powerful as an art form, relying on transmitted light rather than reflected light, and how imperfection allows beauty to shine more fully. Aaron offers rich spiritual metaphors drawn from his craft, connecting brokenness, reconciliation, and God’s grace with the way light passes through glass.
Aaron also opens up about leaving the monastery, wrestling honestly with the desire for family life, and discovering that discernment is not failure but fidelity. His story includes mentoring young artists, helping churches articulate sacred beauty, and even meeting his wife through a mosaic project that never came to be, proving that God still works through cancelled plans.
The episode wraps with humor, call-backs, and a challenge to listeners to be digital missionaries who do not stop at content but go to Mass, pray, and encounter Christ in the poor.
Key Themes and Takeaways
*Why stained glass depends on transmitted light and why imperfection increases beauty
*Discernment as dating rather than a one-time irreversible decision
*Learning holiness from community life, not just intellectual brilliance
*How God uses brokenness to let His light shine more clearly
*Sacred art as service to the Church, not personal expression alone

Jesus and Pilate: Lent Series, Ep 1

Why Heroic Men

At the tiny table, hosts Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome Evan Raugust, a 20-year-old Catholic YouTuber and strategist who has already built a reputation for helping channels grow with focus, clarity, and positivity. Evan shares how he left Las Vegas for Dallas, why he locked himself in a room to study thousands of videos, and how he approaches YouTube as both an art and a science. His story moves from a Calvary Chapel upbringing to full reception into the Catholic Church in 2023, showing how faith and media can intersect with purpose.
Episode Highlights:
• Roots &amp; Relocation - Leaving the transient culture of Vegas for the Catholic vibrancy of Dallas.
• The YouTube Grind - Three weeks of intense study produced insights into “view caps” and “view floors.”
• Confidence &amp; Conversion - From doubting himself to becoming Catholic, Evan shares the inner journey behind the metrics.
• Positivity Over Rage - Why encouraging, uplifting content builds loyal audiences that last.
• Borrowing Formats - Applying proven video strategies from secular niches to evangelize in the Christian space.
• Respect for All Faiths - Engaging Protestants, Muslims, Hindus, and more with curiosity.
• 100K Milestone - Live subscriber counts tick upward as the conversation unfolds.

Giving The Enemy No Foothold with John Eldredge

In this robust conversation, Jack Beers shares his deeply personal journey of overcoming a devastating Crohn’s disease diagnosis and the heroic, faith-fueled love of his mother that changed everything.
With raw honesty and spiritual depth, Jack reflects on the influence of St. John Paul II and Viktor Frankl in shaping his understanding of suffering, identity, and personal transformation. His story is not one of miraculous healing, but of interior renewal, choosing a new story, a new song, and a new self, even when nothing externally seemed to change.
The BeatiDudes explore:
<ul>
 <li>How every choice shapes your soul, shrinking or expanding it</li>
 <li>The impact of Jack’s mother’s fierce love and prophetic challenge</li>
 <li>Why “incurable” is not a declaration, but a dare</li>
 <li>Drawing meaning from suffering through love, service, and attitude</li>
 <li>What forgiveness bracelets have to do with Jack’s journey</li>
 <li>How to co-create your future self with God, even in an ordinary job</li>
</ul>
This episode with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein is rich with insight, encouragement, and practical wisdom for anyone navigating difficulty, doubt, or disillusionment. It’s a masterclass in personalism, discipleship, and hope in action.

Incurable is Just a Dare | Jack Beers | Episode #246

There&#39;s an internet war going on right now between JD Vance and the USCCB. 
Vance has been critical of the Bishop&#39;s strong stance against securing our border. This has sparked debate amongst Christians of all denominations as to whether or not deportations are morally right. 
In today&#39;s episode, I&#39;m joined by my friend, Bridget, who walks through the Church&#39;s actual teaching on border policies and immigration. 
We also touch on tariffs and a few other key (and often misunderstood) aspects of the new Trump administration.

Can You Be Christian AND Support Deportations?? With According to Bridget

Reflection: Joseph's fidelity to Mary upheld marital justice. Heroic love perseveres in trials. Daily Challenge: Affirm a loved one with words of encouragement and truth. Prayer: St. Joseph, just spouse, strengthen my bonds of fidelity.

Day 13 Justice in Relationships | Michael Gormley, TMIY

In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Peter Kreeft, Professor of Philosophy at Boston College and renowned author and lecturer. We discuss the importance of philosophy and logic, and why philosophical errors are at the root of much of the crisis in our culture and in the Church. We also consider how we seem to live in a world “without reason,” in which rationality seems to be in short supply and common sense not so common.

A World without Reason | Dr. Peter Kreeft | R4H

It’s an All-Star weekend—from the NHL to the NBA to the 50th Anniversary of Saturday Night Live—and Father Dave and Deacon Bob are here for all of it. 
In this episode, they dive into the revamped All-Star formats (including USA vs. Canada on ice), heated hockey fights, and the quirky charm of watching sports evolve. They also unpack the latest SNL celebration, share some Marvel movie hot takes, and reflect on deep questions raised by the Holy Father’s Ordo Amoris—a framework of love that recently became part of American political debate. 
Father Dave offers updates from his recent travels, including a powerful retreat experience and upcoming mission to Rwanda with Immaculée Ilibagiza. The hosts also share some signs of hope from Franciscan University’s student life and spiritual formation, including an outpouring of the Holy Spirit and young catechists preparing for service in the Church. 
From slapshots to spiritual fire, from comedy legends to calls to mercy, this episode moves with heart, humor, and hope.

Hey Now, You’re an All-Star

What if embarking on a spiritual journey could lead us to profound self-discovery and true freedom? This episode with our esteemed guest, Father Dwight Longnecker, explores this captivating idea. Renowned author, blogger and Catholic priest, Fr. Dwight adeptly juggles multiple roles. He shares insights about his spiritual journey and the intriguing balance between his roles as husband, father, and priest. We also delve into his latest  book, "The Way of the Wilderness Warrior." Picture this: A path that takes you out of your comfort zone, into the wilderness, a journey of introspection with characters that mirror your own quest. Fr. Dwight unwraps the symbolism of the wilderness and its historical significance. We traverse the hero's quest, the fight for silence in a noisy world, and the importance of stepping out of our comfort zones. We also dig into an engrossing conversation about how surrendering to God's will can lead to true freedom, juxtaposed with how culture often encourages a contradictory path. Join us on this conversation through the wilderness with Fr. Dwight! Like what you heard? Maybe you just enjoy reading James’s show notes?

After Stoicism - A Conversation on Boethius with Dr. Thomas Ward

2024 Heroic Men's Leadership Summit

2024 Heroic Leadership Summit

Matthew Christoff&rsquo;s new book says happiness for Catholic men starts with taking the Sunday Gospel seriously. He frames Jesus as the &ldquo;lion of Judah,&rdquo; and reads the Gospels as a sustained campaign to overthrow &ldquo;the kingdom of Satan,&rdquo; marked by constant threats, confrontation, and Christ&rsquo;s refusal to back down.&nbsp;
Christoff traces his own decade-long devotion project to helping his father through a slow death after 47 years of sobriety, then surviving a medical crisis that forced him to face his own near-death without flinching. He aims to help young men (and, if possible, priests) with tools to make Catholic masculinity a parish priority.

Reflection: Joseph sheltered the vulnerable Infant Jesus. Heroic justice defends the weak, echoing Christ's command to love as oneself. Daily Challenge: Advocate for someone marginalized, perhaps volunteering at a parish outreach. Prayer: St. Joseph, defender of the poor, stir my heart to justice.

Two Boomers Complaining About The World (Trent Horn) Ep. 565

Leadership can be defined in many ways.  Yet most definitions converge on the same point:  Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.  The impact my life can make on others to bring others to act for a common vision.  But how can I harness my leadership for its maximal impact?  How can I lead best?  St. Thomas Aquinas gives us the key – he teaches how to act with depth.

Why an EVANGELICAL Protestant Returned to Catholic Christianity

In this episode of Heroic Hotline, Sean Lynn and Father Andrew Bennett delve into the often-taboo subjects of faith and politics. They discuss the importance of Catholic engagement in political life, the differences between Canadian and American political dynamics, and the role of Catholic social teaching in guiding political action. The conversation emphasizes the need for Catholics to be proactive in their political engagement, to understand their responsibilities as citizens, and to foster community dialogue. They also explore the role of clergy and laity in political discussions and the importance of educating others about the Church's teachings and the papacy.

Engaging in Politics as a Catholic with Fr. Andrew Bennett | Heroic Hotline

This week on a "Best Of" Living the Call, Deacon Charlie sits down with Jason Simon: husband, father of six and President of The Evangelical Catholic.

Under Jason’s leadership, The Evangelical Catholic equips Catholics not only to be disciples, but vibrant witnesses and disciple-makers in the world: sent out to bear fruit for the Kingdom through the life-changing love of Jesus.&nbsp;

Emotions are your hidden superpower &mdash; but only if you know how to use them. In this eye-opening video, Marek Rudak, an executive coach with over 3,000 hours of experience at places like NASA and Fidelity, reveals how emotional intelligence (EQ) can transform your life.
Why do some leaders inspire results even without perfect technical skills? Why do some parents connect deeply with their kids, while others struggle? And why do smart people still make emotional mistakes that sabotage them? It all comes down to EQ &mdash; the ability to turn emotions from a liability into your greatest advantage.
You&rsquo;ll hear real stories, from overcoming toxic upbringings and divorce to becoming a better father, leader, and partner. Plus, discover the science behind how your brain processes emotion &mdash; and how mastering EQ can help you succeed at work, at home, and yes&hellip; even boost your income.
