How we started a Catholic radio station with Yes.Catholic

In this week's episode, we are joined by Dr. Jeff LaCour to discuss masculine suffering, marriage, life as a doctor with 6 children, and how to grow in holiness. Suffering is not only something that happens to everyone alive today, it is the choice means God uses to move men along in holiness. Jeff gives a great testimony to the role his father played in leading him in the Catholic faith, an example all fathers need to hear.Dr. Jeff LaCour is a board-certified otolaryngologist (ENT). He studied at LSU Medical School in New Orleans and UNC-Chapel Hill. He then completed a year-long Otology fellowship in Pittsburgh, followed by a year-long Rhinology fellowship in Savannah, Georgia. He has been practicing in Hammond, Louisiana for over 10 years and is the Director of Compassio Medical Education. He is married and lives with his wife in 6 children!Compassio Medical - <a href="https://www.compassiomedical.com/">Click Here</a> 🔴 The Catholic Gentleman is 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.

Dr. Jeff LaCour on Suffering, Marriage, and Surrender to God

A leader could have the best strategy in the world but if he’s unable to make a choice on how to implement it his strategy will be meaningless.  And yet is precisely here that many of us struggle.  Making a choice seems irrevocable and sometimes choosing one way in preference to another seems like closing the door on perfectly good opportunities.  But then again not choosing is also a choice and it’s a choice that won’t bring us to where we need to go.  How does our faith in God help us with this dilemma?   How does it help us to be leaders who decide?

WOF 247: Non-Catholic Q&A w/ Bishop Barron (August 2020)

This week, John is flying solo in the studio after his recent Italy trip and a refreshing visit to his dad’s farm in Mississippi. In this vulnerable episode, John shares his personal struggles and reflections on finding hope and direction in life’s challenges.

While riding the mower at his dad’s farm, John starts thinking about his failures and struggles. He reflects on the powerful message from Matthew 7:13-14 about the narrow road and how being a Christian is hard—really hard. He shares how, when life feels easy, he often finds himself on the wide road full of curves, sharp edges, and dangers.

John also dives into a story about getting lost despite having a map and knowing the destination, drawing a parallel to our spiritual journeys. He emphasizes the importance of keeping the end in mind— knowing that the end is heaven and that there's always a place to get back to.

In this episode, John talks about the peace he found listening to a Zach Bryan song while on the mower and how it reminded him that, even when we feel lost, we know where we’re going. 

If you’ve ever felt like you’re in a box you can’t get out of or struggled with your faith, this episode is for you. Remember, it’s okay to struggle — what matters is knowing where you’re headed and keeping faith along the way. The closer we get to our spiritual goals, the more we see and understand the journey.

This Road I Know

One of the reasons many Christians don’t feel comfortable assuming the role of leadership is that we think it makes us egotistical.  Following, obeying, complying, and supporting seem much more consonant with Christianity.  But why do so many of us equate those terms with a lack of leadership?  By looking at the Virgin Mary as a model for leadership, we can see that a big part of being a leader is following God.  Mary gave the very best of herself to Jesus and so she becomes the leadership model for all the followers of Christ.

DGT Episode 233 - Leading By Following - Mary Queen Of Leaders Part 5

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor talk about the inclination men have for heroic characters and movies and how it reveals our inner desire for sainthood.

Sainthood

Our “but”s keep us from becoming who we are made to be. After a raw, inspiring phone call with a college student, Victor and John discuss the impeding lie that “we are not worthy enough”. 
Because if you believe in Christ and the things that he told us, and that you are called, you need to rest in that. 

In this amazing episode, you will hear about:

- Voids, filling them or aching because of them
- Matthew 10:19
- Being a viable tool for God’s message!
- The importance of our brokenness

Kevin Wells | Failed Brain Surgery, Addiction, and a Hermit

It isn’t a surprise to anyone that life comes with a lot of challenges. In fact, there are a lot of reasons men feel tempted to give up hope, whether it’s struggling with habitual sin, difficulty in their marriage, or financial problems. That’s why I invited Deacon Jeff into the studio this week to talk about hope!

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 - How to put your hope in Jesus Christ rather than in other things like money or security.
 - How to LIVE a life of hope in Jesus Christ, instead of just saying you have hope in Him.
 - How to fight despair when troubles come your way.
 - How hope can only come when you are also living with faith and love.
 - And more!

The Struggle With Hope

Most people dread conflict.  It’s a simple fact.  In the life of a leader, however, conflict is necessary.  As a matter of fact many leadership organizational models teach you to mine for conflict – try to find it out and flush it out.  But is this really the role that Christ wants us to play as Christians?  When can conflict be healthy?  When is it to be avoided at all costs?  What does Christ have to say about this?

DGT Episode 75 - Christ's Mission, Our Mission Part 9 - For The Fall And The Rising

&quot;It&#39;s been known throughout history that groups of people who belong to a certain community will often form their own parallel economies. We&#39;re seeing this happen now in the Catholic community.&quot; Join us for an engaging conversation with Marcellino D&#39;Ambrosio, co-founder and creative director of Sherwood Fellows, about the emerging Catholic parallel economy. Our discussion explores: - Why today&#39;s mass culture is fundamentally anti-Catholic and anti-family- The alarming statistics showing 11+ million young people leaving the Church- How parents are being forced to make difficult decisions about education, career, and family life- The need for Catholic entrepreneurs to build businesses that uphold Catholic values- Why simply catechizing our children isn&#39;t enough when they&#39;re immersed in secular culture- The challenges of balancing entrepreneurship with family stability- How Catholic professionals can navigate increasingly hostile workplace environments- Practical advice for those considering taking a stand for their faith in business Marcellino shares his journey of building a creative agency that helps Catholic organizations develop vision and strategy, rather than just marketing tactics. He offers candid insights about the risks and rewards of being openly Catholic in business today, and why the creation of a parallel economy isn&#39;t just optional - it&#39;s becoming inevitable. This episode reminds us that while building Catholic alternatives to mainstream institutions involves sacrifice, it may be the only way to preserve our faith and values for future generations. Whether you&#39;re an entrepreneur, business leader, or simply a Catholic trying to navigate career decisions, this conversation offers valuable perspective on living authentically in an increasingly hostile culture.

Supporting a Parallel Catholic Economy with Marcellino D'Ambrosio

Bishop Andrew Cozzens is Chairman of the USCCB Committee on Evangelization &amp; Catechesis and is spearheading a 3-year National Eucharistic Revival in the United States. He is the Bishop of the Diocese of Crookston in Minnesota.Follow Bishop Cozzens &amp; Things We Discussed:• National Eucharistic Revival - https://eucharisticrevival.org/• Diocese of Crookston - https://www.crookston.org/• St Tarcisius - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TarcisiusSupport this podcast!https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E356519&amp;id=2

Bishop Andrew Cozzens | The Return of Sacramental Imagination

Jon Leonetti introduces viewers to the remarkable life of Ignatius of Antioch. Born shortly after Jesus' time, Ignatius is still celebrated today. He penned seven heartfelt letters, passionately urging Christians to remain true to Jesus and his church. 

In his final letter, he pleaded with fellow Christians not to prevent his martyrdom, as he longed to honor God by facing the lions in the Circus Maximus. Ignatius lived a life wholly devoted to God, and John encourages us to follow his example by dedicating our days and lives to God's grace. 

All for God in Life & Death: A Heroic Call for Men

"Almost nothing gets out there that's not controversial when it comes to the media covering the Catholic faith. You know, I remember one author saying that hatred and bias towards Catholicism was the only legitimate one that was still around. And I tend to agree - anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable form of bigotry."Today we're joined by Mario Toneguzzi, a veteran journalist with over 40 years of experience in newspapers, to explore the complex relationship between media and Christianity....

Media Bias and Hostility with Mario Toneguzzi

Finding purpose and looking into a moment with hope can lead to finding ways to evangelize to others. Deacon Larry Oney joins Deacon Harold in that discussion today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 82.

Hope & Purpose

In this conversation, Sean Lynn and Nick Pierlot explore themes of faith, magnanimity, and the importance of community in personal growth. Nick shares his background, his work at St. Therese Institute, and the significance of forming missionary disciples. They discuss the balance between courage and foolhardiness, the role of affirmation in personal development, and the power of stepping out in faith. The conversation also touches on the commissioning process at St. Therese and the importance of community life, family, and personal interests.Sean Lynn reflects on the importance of family traditions, the journey of rediscovering masculinity, and the profound lessons learned from St. Joseph. He discusses the balance of tenderness and fierceness in masculinity, the courage to face fears, and the significance of choosing virtue over vice. The dialogue emphasizes the everyday challenges men face and the call to discipleship in their lives. #godsquad #heroicmen #catholicinfluencer

A Dram with Nick Pierlot

What happens when you pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet in St. Faustina’s backyard? 
This week, Father Dave shares powerful moments from his recent pilgrimage to Poland—visiting sacred sites tied to St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Faustina, and St. John Paul II. From celebrating Mass at Kolbe’s friary to walking through Auschwitz and Birkenau, it’s a glimpse of God’s mercy amid some of history’s darkest places. 
While Father Dave walked in the footsteps of saints, Deacon Bob found hopeful witness in the desert. He returns from the Life Teen Catholic Youth Ministry Convention in Arizona, where he gave a talk on “Radiant Hope” and reconnected with longtime friends in ministry. Together, the hosts reflect on the quiet, often unseen ways God raises up saints in every generation—even in the most unexpected places. 
And yes, this episode still includes classic They That Hope moments: breakfast with Father Dave’s brother Tom, a temporarily misplaced child on the New York subway, and a burning question: Why does the French Open have two names? 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Breakfast with Tom, Arizona Adventures, and Youth Ministry in the Desert  
Deacon Bob recounts his recent trip to Arizona for the <a href='https://lifeteen.com/events/catholic-youth-ministry-convention/'>Life Teen Catholic Youth Ministry Convention</a> where he reconnected with ministry leaders and gave a keynote on “Radiant Hope.” He also shares a surprise breakfast meet-up with Father Dave’s brother, Tom (a loyal listener), some humorous travel woes, and the joy of being surrounded by those serving the Church’s youth. 
(04:08) Sports Recap: NBA, NHL, Tennis, and... Golf?  
From unexpected NBA playoff upsets to a grueling five-set French Open final, Father Dave and Deacon Bob weigh in on recent sports headlines. They touch on the drama of playoff hockey, marvel at <a href='https://www.golfdigest.com/story/jj-spauns-walk-off-winning-putt'>JJ Spaun’s 62-foot putt</a>, and clear up (sort of) why the French Open is also called Roland-Garros. 
(09:01) Audiobook Adventures  
Deacon Bob announces that his book <a href='https://www.osvcatholicbookstore.com/sharing-the-gospel-with-our-lives-a-relational-approach-to-catholic-youth-ministry.html'>Sharing the Gospel with Our Lives</a> is getting the audiobook treatment—and he’s narrating it himself. He shares the process (including a mysterious home studio in Columbus), while Father Dave recalls the heartbreak of being cut off with just 15 minutes left in a Navy SEAL memoir due to subscription limits. 
(16:29) Pilgrimage to Poland: Kolbe, Faustina &amp; Divine Mercy in Dark Places  
Father Dave reflects on the deeply moving pilgrimage he led across Poland. Highlights include Mass at <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niepokalan%C3%B3w'>St. Maximilian Kolbe’s friary</a> visiting the birthplace of <a href='https://www.thedivinemercy.org/message/stfaustina'>St. Faustina</a>, and praying the <a href='https://www.thedivinemercy.org/message/devotions/pray-the-chaplet'>Divine Mercy Chaplet</a> in St. Faustina’s backyard with her niece. He shares how the lives of these saints—and the sobering visit to <a href='https://www.auschwitz.org/en/'>Auschwitz and Birkenau</a>—revealed the light of God even in history’s darkest moments. 
(23:02) Saints Amidst Suffering  
As conflict rages in places like <a href='https://www.bbc.com/news/topics/c2vdnvdg6xxt'>Gaza</a> and <a href='https://www.bbc.com/news/war-in-ukraine'>Ukraine</a>, the hosts reflect on how God raises up saints in every era. From the <a href='https://missionariesofcharity.org/'>Missionaries of Charity</a> caring for the vulnerable in war zones, to everyday youth ministers and celibate religious, they honor those whose quiet, faithful witness brings hope to the world. 
(28:22) Radiant Hope in Service  
Expanding on his convention talk, Deacon Bob shares how true Christian hope is made visible through acts of loving service. Drawing from Scripture and the Visitation of Mary, he explains how hope, though unseen, shines clearly in those who serve joyfully and sacrificially.

Bishop Barron recently celebrated his first Confirmations as bishop, confirming several people at Holy Cross Parish in Moore Park, CA. He shares about that, and also discusses the purpose of Confirmation and the gifts of the Holy it provokes. For this week's listener question, Richard wonders why Jesus had to die on the cross instead of God just snapping his fingers and forgiving everyone.

WOF 010: The Power of Confirmation

Vices and Virtues: Chastity Conquers Lust

Father John Riccardo doesn’t hold back. He opens up about the darkest moment of his life—a moment that brought shame and pain. But instead of hiding it, he leans in, making a bold call for men to confront their traumas head-on. Why? Because healing starts with honesty, and no one should fight their battles alone. Father John credits his hero: his dad. A man who lived humility, prayer, and a God-first life. It was through his father’s example and the challenge of other men that he finally stopped running and embraced the call to be a disciple of Jesus. The question is: are you ready to answer the call?

He was a tight end and long snapper who was drafted by the NFL's Buffalo Bills and went on to play for them, the New York Giants, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had played his college football at Notre Dame, where he was captain in his senior year, when the Fighting Irish played in the BCS Fiesta Bowl Game. After college he played in the Hula Bowl, all of which followed a high school football career that saw him play on three state championship teams, two of which were national championships. As a senior he was rated the #1 tight end in the country.

In this episode, Bishop Barron discusses a recent New York Times article by David Brooks titled <a href= "https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/03/opinion/self-care-individualism.html">"The Morality of Selfism: The Gospel of Saint You."</a> It's a tongue-in-cheek affirmation of a culture that puts tremendous emphasis on self, self-care, and self-display. Bishop Barron explores some of the dangerous outcomes of such a culture. A listener asks whether it's helpful or troubling that the Catholic tradition includes so many definitions of God.

Dominic and I take a look primarily at ST. III, Q. 9, A. 1.: Whether Christ had any knowledge besides the Divine? Objection 1. It would seem that in Christ there was no knowledge except the Divine. For knowledge is necessary that things may be known thereby. But by His Divine knowledge Christ knew all things. Therefore any other knowledge would have been superfluous in Him. Objection 2. Further, the lesser light is dimmed by the greater. But all created knowledge in comparison with the uncreated knowledge of God is as the lesser to the greater light. Therefore there shone in Christ no other knowledge except the Divine. Objection 3. Further, the union of the human nature with the Divine took place in the Person, as is clear from III:2:2. Now, according to some there is in Christ a certain "knowledge of the union," whereby Christ knew what belongs to the mystery of Incarnation more fully than anyone else. Hence, since the personal union contains two natures, it would seem that there are not two knowledges in Christ, but one only, pertaining to both natures. On the contrary, Ambrose says (De Incarnat. vii): "God assumed the perfection of human nature in the flesh; He took upon Himself the sense of man, but not the swollen sense of the flesh." But created knowledge pertains to the sense of man. Therefore in Christ there was created knowledge. I answer that, As said above (Article 5), the Son of God assumed an entire human nature, i.e. not only a body, but also a soul, and not only a sensitive, but also a rational soul. And therefore it behooved Him to have created knowledge, for three reasons. First, on account of the soul's perfection. For the soul, considered in itself, is in potentiality to knowing intelligible things. since it is like "a tablet on which nothing is written," and yet it may be written upon through the possible intellect, whereby it may become all things, as is said De Anima iii, 18. Now what is in potentiality is imperfect unless reduced to act. But it was fitting that the Son of God should assume, not an imperfect, but a perfect human nature, since the whole human race was to be brought back to perfection by its means. Hence it behooved the soul of Christ to be perfected by a knowledge, which would be its proper perfection. And therefore it was necessary that there should be another knowledge in Christ besides the Divine knowledge, otherwise the soul of Christ would have been more imperfect than the souls of the rest of men. Secondly, because, since everything is on account of its operation, as stated De Coel. ii, 17, Christ would have had an intellective soul to no purpose if He had not understood by it; and this pertains to created knowledge. Thirdly, because some created knowledge pertains to the nature of the human soul, viz. that whereby we naturally know first principles; since we are here taking knowledge for any cognition of the human intellect. Now nothing natural was wanting to Christ, since He took the whole human nature, as stated above (Article 5). And hence the Sixth Council [Third Council of Constantinople, Act. 4] condemned the opinion of those who denied that in Christ there are two knowledges or wisdoms. Reply to Objection 1. Christ knew all things with the Divine knowledge by an uncreated operation which is the very Essence of God; since God's understanding is His substance, as the Philosopher proves (Metaph. xii, text. 39). Hence this act could not belong to the human soul of Christ, seeing that it belongs to another nature. Therefore, if there had been no other knowledge in the soul of Christ, it would have known nothing; and thus it would have been assumed to no purpose, since everything is on account of its operation. Reply to Objection 2. If the two lights are supposed to be in the same order, the lesser is dimmed by the greater, as the light of the sun dims the light of a candle, both being in the class of illuminants. But if we suppose two lights, one of which is in the class of illuminants and the other in the class of illuminated, the lesser light is not dimmed by the greater, but rather is strengthened, as the light of the air by the light of the sun. And in this manner the light of knowledge is not dimmed, but rather is heightened in the soul of Christ by the light of the Divine knowledge, which is "the true light which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world," as is written John 1:9. Reply to Objection 3. On the part of what are united we hold there is a knowledge in Christ, both as to His Divine and as to His human nature; so that, by reason of the union whereby there is one hypostasis of God and man, the things of God are attributed to man, and the things of man are attributed to God, as was said above (III:3:1 and III:3:6). But on the part of the union itself we cannot admit any knowledge in Christ. For this union is in personal being, and knowledge belongs to person only by reason of a nature.

All Your Vatican 2 Questions Answered! (Dr. Richard DeClue) | Ep. 436

In this first episode, Jon Leonetti breaks down the first two Stations of the Cross. Jon shares a memory of loss, and he introduces the theme of Stay Strong. As you watch this video reflect on the following questions.

Reflection Questions
1. When you are facing adversity and someone tells you to stay strong, what does that mean to you? 

2. Jon sheds light on Jesus' condemnation to death in the First Station by reflecting on Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. What adversities and trials are you having to face? Are you returning to God in prayer to seek strength? Are you surrendering to God's will in times of adversity? When you reflect on the First Station remember how Jesus prepared for his trial before Pontius Pilot.

3. Reflecting on Jesus picking up his cross in the Second Station, Jon focuses on the weight of the cross. Are you feeling the weight of the crosses you have to carry? Are you feeling weak under that weight? When reflecting on the Second Station invite God to be your strength when you are feeling weak.
