BONUS | Catholic and LGBT? | Matt Fradd Show Ep. 1

What do a prodigal son, a Belize beach revival, and Marian apparitions in Rwanda have in common? 
They all point us back to the mercy of the Father. This week on They That Hope, Deacon Bob Rice and Father Dave Pivonka reflect on powerful journeys of repentance, healing, and homecoming—from the Gospel of Luke to the real-life stories unfolding in mission fields and pilgrimage sites. 
Recording from opposite sides of the globe, the hosts reunite after two transformative trips. Deacon Bob shares about leading Franciscan University students on mission in Belize, where their joyful witness brought hope to a struggling culture. Father Dave recounts his pilgrimage to Rwanda with Immaculée Ilibagiza, diving deep into the Church-approved Marian apparitions at Kibeho and the painful echoes of genocide. 
Amid reflections on mercy and reconciliation, they also manage to squeeze in March Madness predictions, NBA tanking controversy, and a surprisingly heartfelt conversation about snorkeling (yes, snorkeling gets emotional too). From returning to God after hitting rock bottom to living out faith in a divided world, this episode is a moving invitation to come home to the Father—again and again. 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Mission Trips, March Madness, and Podcasting from Abroad  
Father Dave checks in from <a href='https://austria.franciscan.edu/'>Austria</a> while Deacon Bob broadcasts from Texas. They swap stories from their respective journeys: Bob’s evangelization trip to Belize and Father Dave’s pilgrimage to Rwanda. 
(02:33) March Madness Recap and Catholic Teams on the Court  
The <a href='https://www.ncaa.com/march-madness-live/watch'>NCAA tournament</a> is in full swing with top seeds like Duke, Houston, and Auburn advancing. The hosts recap <a href='https://sfuathletics.com/'>St. Francis University’s</a> epic underdog run and reflect on the faith and fumbles of Catholic teams. 
(07:59) NBA Tanking, Cooper Flagg, and Draft Day Drama  
Deacon Bob breaks down the controversial strategy of “tanking” in the NBA, with teams vying for next year’s top pick: high school phenom <a href='https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/5041939/cooper-flagg'>Cooper Flagg</a>. Meanwhile, scrappy teams like the <a href='https://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/name/gs/golden-state-warriors'>Warriors</a> and <a href='https://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/name/lal/los-angeles-lakers'>Lakers</a> keep playoff hopes alive. 
(10:20) Chastity, Witness, and the Joy of Mission in Belize  
Deacon Bob shares how Franciscan students' witness to chastity made a profound impact in a culture where early sexual activity is the norm. Their week culminated in a powerful beach praise night that brought the town together. 
(17:03) Marian Apparitions and Forgiveness in Rwanda  
Father Dave reflects on his powerful visit to Kibeho, site of the Church-approved <a href='https://www.kibeho-cana.org/a-brief-history-of-the-apparitions-of-our-lady-of-kibeho/'>Marian apparitions</a> in Rwanda.

This week’s <a href='https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/15'>Gospel reading</a> prompts a deep discussion on God’s mercy, the danger of spiritual pride, and the invitation to love beyond mere obedience. The hosts explore how the older son’s struggle is often our own.

Fr. Boniface Hicks on Prayer and Intimacy with Jesus | Ep. 276

As much as we hear about pornography in today's world, there's something we don't hear about all that much: how women struggle with it. This week on "Pints with Aquinas," I welcome Rachael Killackey, who shares her own story about struggling with pornography and the practical insights she's learned in her healing journey, including: - Why women experience pornography differently than men - Who you should (and should not) ask to be an accountability partner - How to confess an addiction to porn to someone without it being awkward - Why you shouldn't be on social media if you struggle with pornography <a href="https://pints.mattfradd.com/pwa-confessions-signup/">Sign up for my free course on St. Augustine's "Confessions"!</a> SPONSORS Hallow: <a href="http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a> STRIVE: <a href="https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> Homeschool Connections: <a href="https://homeschoolconnections.com/matt/">https://homeschoolconnections.com/matt/</a> GIVING Patreon or Directly: <a href="https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/">https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/ </a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

What Does It Mean To Be Holy?

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.

DGT Episode 112 - Leadership From Aquinas - A Course For Catholic Leaders Part 1

In Chapter 7 of his book, “Rules For Radicals” Saul Alinsky unveils what he is most famous for.  The rules for victory that radicals can follow for organizing a community for change.  These rules have sparked much interest and debate for many years because they are both practical and successful.  But are they aligned with the Gospel?  Where can we both learn from them and do better?

DGT Episode 126 - Saul Alinsky, Winning At All Costs - The Anti-Leaders Part 10

Today I discuss what prayer is, three obstacles I experience when praying, how to develop a prayer rule of life, and 3 reasons Aquinas says we should pray out loud. Please support our work <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/summa/3083.htm#article12">here</a>. It is not essential to such a prayer as this that it be vocal. And yet the voice is employed in such like prayers for three reasons. First, in order to excite interior devotion, whereby the mind of the person praying is raised to God, because by means of external signs, whether of words or of deeds, the human mind is moved as regards apprehension, and consequently also as regards the affections. Hence Augustine says (ad Probam. Ep. cxxx, 9) that "by means of words and other signs we arouse ourselves more effectively to an increase of holy desires." Hence then alone should we use words and such like signs when they help to excite the mind internally. But if they distract or in any way impede the mind we should abstain from them; and this happens chiefly to those whose mind is sufficiently prepared for devotion without having recourse to those signs. Wherefore the Psalmist (Psalm 26:8) said: "My heart hath said to Thee: 'My face hath sought Thee,'" and we read of Anna (1 Samuel 1:13) that "she spoke in her heart." Secondly, the voice is used in praying as though to pay a debt, so that man may serve God with all that he has from God, that is to say, not only with his mind, but also with his body: and this applies to prayer considered especially as satisfactory. Hence it is written (Hosea 14:3): "Take away all iniquity, and receive the good: and we will render the calves of our lips." Thirdly, we have recourse to vocal prayer, through a certain overflow from the soul into the body, through excess of feeling, according to Psalm 15:9, "My heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced." - Read the rest <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/summa/3083.htm#article12">here</a>. Suggestions for a daily prayer routine Stage 1: Morning offering before your feet hit the floor + Rosary or Jesus Prayer during the day + Examination of conscience at night. Stage 2: Morning offering before your feet hit the floor + 10 min scripture reading in the morning + Rosary or Jesus Prayer during the day + Examination of conscience at night. Stage 3: Morning offering before your feet hit the floor + 10 min Scripture reading in the morning + Rosary or Jesus Prayer during the day + 3 Our Fathers, 3 Hail Mary's, 3 Glory Be's in front of the Blessed Sacrament + Examination of conscience at night.

173: What is prayer? (& How to do it)

Women need the strength of men. It is not just a biological reality but one that expands to all aspects of a man's relationship with a woman. Regardless of what popular opinion, ideologies, or political agendas might suggest, without the strength of men our society would crumble. Today, Sam, Devin, and John discuss a recent Kent State University study that aimed to prove masculinity is inherently flawed and dominating and that the more awareness of this issue the better our society will be. Instead, it proved the opposite because of what it failed to realize about love and the benefits of masculinity. From here we discuss 5 ways women need the strength of men.We also get to answer a question from a listener whose girlfriend is more advanced in her faith 'credentials' than him and he is concerned about how he will lead.🔴 🔴 MONTH OF MARY SPECIAL - FREE $120 Rosary for all Catholic Gentleman Plus Annual Memberships🔴 Get this and watch the entire 1h 37mins of episode 158 here - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com﻿✅ If you have any questions that we can answer on the show, please, send your questions to us at podcast@catholicgentleman.com.

Dr. Richard Gallagher On Exorcism and Mental Health

Today's guest is Catholic theologian and author of Witness to Hope: The Biography of John Paul II, George Weigel. Brett & George discuss George's thoughts and critiques on the Synod of Synodality & his writing process of his over 30 books. They also dive into the importance of leaders to be precise in the words they use, Catholic institutions being missionaries of the Church, the presence of "Catholic lite" (a term he coined in his book "Evangelical Catholic") in the Church today, and a young Karol Wojtyla's role in Vatican II. It's an intriguing and well-rounded conversation with one of the most highly respected Catholics of our time.

A Reformation Exodus w/ @DouglasBeaumont ​

In today's episode we'll take a look at the following questions: Is it possible to hate God? Is hatred of God the greatest of sins? Is hatred of one's neighbor always a sin? Is hated a deadly sin? If not, from what deadly sin does hatred arise? We'll also be reading a lot from Dostoevsky's Notes From Underground. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Underground-Vintage-Classics-Fyodor-Dostoevsky/dp/067973452X">Here</a>'s the edition I have and recommend. --- Please support my work --&gt; https://pintswithaquinas.com/donate/ --- Here's the main article we look at from Aquinas in today's episode: Whether it is possible for anyone to hate God? Objection 1. It would seem that no man can hate God. For Dionysius says (Div. Nom. iv) that "the first good and beautiful is an object of love and dilection to all." But God is goodness and beauty itself. Therefore He is hated by none. Objection 2. Further, in the Apocryphal books of 3 Esdras 4:36,[39] it is written that "all things call upon truth . . . and (all men) do well like of her works." Now God is the very truth according to John 14:6. Therefore all love God, and none can hate Him. Objection 3. Further, hatred is a kind of aversion. But according to Dionysius (Div. Nom. i) God draws all things to Himself. Therefore none can hate Him. On the contrary, It is written (Psalm 73:23): "The pride of them that hate Thee ascendeth continually," and (John 15:24): "But now they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father." I answer that, As shown above (I-II:29:1), hatred is a movement of the appetitive power, which power is not set in motion save by something apprehended. Now God can be apprehended by man in two ways; first, in Himself, as when He is seen in His Essence; secondly, in His effects, when, to wit, "the invisible things" of God . . . "are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made" (Romans 1:20). Now God in His Essence is goodness itself, which no man can hate—for it is natural to good to be loved. Hence it is impossible for one who sees God in His Essence, to hate Him. Moreover some of His effects are such that they can nowise be contrary to the human will, since "to be, to live, to understand," which are effects of God, are desirable and lovable to all. Wherefore again God cannot be an object of hatred if we consider Him as the Author of such like effects. Some of God's effects, however, are contrary to an inordinate will, such as the infliction of punishment, and the prohibition of sin by the Divine Law. Such like effects are repugnant to a will debased by sin, and as regards the consideration of them, God may be an object of hatred to some, in so far as they look upon Him as forbidding sin, and inflicting punishment. Reply to Objection 1. This argument is true of those who see God's Essence, which is the very essence of goodness. Reply to Objection 2. This argument is true in so far as God is apprehended as the cause of such effects as are naturally beloved of all, among which are the works of Truth who reveals herself to men. Reply to Objection 3. God draws all things to Himself, in so far as He is the source of being, since all things, in as much as they are, tend to be like God, Who is Being itself. - ST II-II, Q. 34, A. 1 SPONSORS EL Investments: <a href="https://www.elinvestments.net/pints">https://www.elinvestments.net/pints</a> Exodus 90: <a href="https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/">https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/</a> Hallow: <a href="http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a> STRIVE: <a href="https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> GIVING Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

153: Is it possible to hate God?

St. Gregory The Great lived a very long time ago but his words remain important for us today.  Even though he was a Pope and a Bishop he was first and foremost a leader.  His book, “On The Rule Of Shepherds” is a hallmark on leadership from the middle ages to today.  Looking at this book can give us insights into what Christ asks for those that follow Him by leading others.

DGT Episode 134 - St. Gregory The Great - Of Leading And Shepherds

In this episode, Victor Adams and I talk about PURPOSE. It’s all too easy for our daily lives to feel like an endless cycle of repetition. So we try to find things to give us pleasure and avoid a feeling of emptiness. The problem is, we look to everything else besides the one person who can truly give us purpose.

Psalm 57:2 tells us that God is the one who fulfills his purpose for each one of us. If we want to find the purpose we’re looking for in life, we have to set aside all the other things we turn to and start talking and listening to God.

In this episode, we learn that:
- When you don’t have a purpose, life becomes all about your feelings.
- Lack of purpose is the root of addictions and other issues.
- There’s a longing in yourself that only God can fulfill.

Why a SOUTHERN BAPTIST Turned Lutheran Converted to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church

Ask any organizational leader what the hardest part of their job is and they will all say the same thing: managing people.  You cannot win at business without your people but your people can often be the reason why you lose at business.  Becoming an excellent manager is an art and a skill as much as it is a natural talent.  In Chapter 3 of his work, On The Rule Of Shepherds, Pope St. Gregory The Great gives us insight that can help all of us with this difficult task.

DGT Episode 157 - The Angry And The Meek - St. Gregory The Great The Rule Of Shepherds Book 3 Part 1

The Spiritual Life (Dr. Brant Pitre) | Ep. 312

The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone.

In this episode, John and Victor talk about the deep need we all have for spiritual friendships—and why trying to follow Jesus without community leaves us vulnerable to isolation, temptation, and burnout.

They share personal stories of how God used brotherhood to strengthen them in their darkest moments, and how real transformation happens when we walk with others who know us, challenge us, and love us enough to tell us the truth. Because, we really do need each other.

You weren’t meant to carry it all alone. If you’ve been going through the motions or trying to handle everything yourself, this episode is your invitation to open up, reach out, and walk together.

Like anything stepping into leadership requires training.  Stepping into Christian leadership requires that we not just be skilled but also ethical and holy.  How to integrate these two worlds?  How to integrate our spirituality, our faith, and the realism of the world of business?  The Church’s Magisterium put forth a wonderful document that outlines a way forward.  By educating Christians in the principles of Christ, and in the use of the virtues, she points forward a way for us to not only do business but to lead.

Ep 210 | Sunday Homily: Just because it's impossible does not mean it cannot be done | Fr. Jonathan Meyer

They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.  The same could be said about the road to failure.  The difference between success and failure is often the ability to try.  But this is exactly what is difficult for many of us.  We can have the greatest intentions and the most noble aspirations but passing into action seems to be on of the hardest things to do.  Does faith offer us any remedy?  Does grace give us any advantage in taking the plunge of leadership?

Episode 199: What Could I Possibly Have to Offer Jesus? 

This week John dives into our feeling of having nothing to offer. Jesus fed the 5000 with just a few loaves of bread that a boy offered, so why do we doubt what he can do with us? You were born for a REASON! Listen to this episode to find out how to live into that reason! 

In this episode, John points out:

- The devil tells you to “sit back down” and discount your gifts
- A “yes” to Jesus leads to abundance
- Living in the scriptures is CRUCIAL
- You gotta quit thinking about your poverty.

On Detachment

Hey guys, today we're talking to Christ Stefanick about "wokism," cancel culture, and the other current trends that seek to separate us from Christ's mercy and love.

We'll learn that:
- Wokism doesn’t expand our view of reality, but instead causes anxiety and worry
- When we run the risk of being "canceled" over our beliefs, we must keep our focus on God’s mercy
- As Catholics, Jesus is the frame through which we view the world, and we shouldn’t be afraid to share His love and truth with others

107: How do we know stuff (Thomas' epistemology), with Fr. Damian Ference

Recording on the move along the Adriatic, the guys sit down in Italy with their spiritual guide and friend Fr. Stuart Crevecour to talk about Eucharistic adoration—what it is, why it matters, and how to begin. From stories of Eucharistic miracles in Cascia and Orvieto to practical advice for dads bringing kids to the chapel, this episode explores how adoration “holds a moment of the Mass” so Christ can transform our week. Along the way: pilgrimage anecdotes, incorrupt saints, and a few dad-joke detours.<h2>Segment Guide</h2>On the Road (and Sea): Why This Episode Is DifferentFirst-ever episode recorded in transit—pilgrimage vibes, College GameDay energy, and what a Jubilee year in Italy feels like.Eucharistic Miracles: From Casual Irreverence to Deep ConversionThe bleeding breviary in Cascia and the miracle preserved in Orvieto become cautionary tales—and catalysts—for reverence and faith.What Adoration Is (and Isn’t)Fr. Stuart offers a simple frame: adoration as a moment of the Mass held in contemplation—the elevation “stretched” so we can gaze and be changed.Does It Really Do Anything? Why GoFrom “just try it” to “I can’t live without my hour,” we hear how steady time before the monstrance re-centers a life and renews prayer.Awkward at First: How to Start a Holy HourBring a rosary or a good spiritual book. Expect silence to feel long. Keep going. Over time, conversation gives way to presence.Spiritual Communion: When You Can’t ReceiveMaking a spiritual communion at home or in church keeps us oriented toward the tabernacle—especially helpful in seasons of waiting or constraint.Benediction: A Different Kind of BlessingWhy the blessing at the end of adoration is unique: you’re being blessed by Christ himself, truly present in the Host.Family Adoration (Without the Panic)Practical ideas: parish “family holy hours,” short come-and-go windows, and training kids gently in reverence (yes, even page-turning).If Your Parish Doesn’t Have AdorationHow to ask your pastor for a weekly hour or occasional exposition—and ways laity can help make it happen.From Medieval Piety to Today’s RenewalHow devotion blossomed after Corpus Christi and grew again in recent decades—feeding vocations, parish life, and personal holiness.<h2>Key Takeaways</h2><ul><li>Adoration deepens Communion. It doesn’t replace the Mass; it disposes us to receive the Eucharist more fruitfully.</li><li>Start small, stay steady. Twenty minutes grows into an hour; over time, you won’t want to miss it.</li><li>Bring the kids. Create kid-friendly windows or family hours; let children encounter Jesus and learn chapel habits gradually.</li><li>Spiritual communion matters. If you can’t receive sacramentally, orient yourself to the tabernacle and keep showing up.</li><li>Benediction blesses uniquely. The blessing is given with Christ himself, not merely by the priest.</li></ul> <h2>Memorable Lines</h2><ul><li>“Adoration is a moment of the Mass held in contemplation.”</li><li>“You can’t outgive the Lord—show up and let Him do the work.”</li><li>“Hang out with Jesus often; we become like the people we’re with.”</li><li>“Correct the [Eucharistic] abuses, but don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater.”</li></ul> <h2>How to Begin a Holy Hour (Simple Plan)</h2><ol><li>Arrive and acknowledge: a slow Sign of the Cross; “Lord, I’m here.”</li><li>Read briefly (5–10 min): a Gospel passage or trusted spiritual classic.</li><li>Pray a decade or the whole Rosary.</li><li>Rest in silence: “I look at Him and He looks at me.”</li><li>Finish with gratitude and one concrete resolution for the week.</li></ol> <h2>Resources &amp; Places Mentioned</h2><ul><li>Basilica of St. Rita of Cascia (Eucharistic miracle)</li><li>Orvieto (miracle tied to the Feast of Corpus Christi)</li><li>Sacré-Cœur, Paris (longstanding perpetual adoration)</li><li>St. Thomas Aquinas (Eucharistic hymns for Corpus Christi)</li><li>St. John Vianney (on simple adoration)</li><li>St. John Paul II (modern renewal of adoration)</li><li>St. Peter Julian Eymard (19th-century apostle of the Eucharist)</li></ul> <h2>For Dads &amp; Grandfathers</h2><ul><li>Keep expectations age-appropriate. Five or ten minutes is a win.</li><li>Prep gently before you enter; debrief after with hot chocolate or a donut.</li><li>Rotate one-on-one holy hours so each child sees Dad pray</li></ul> <h2>Listener Challenge</h2>Commit to one adoration visit this week. If your parish lacks exposition, pray before the tabernacle—or make a daily spiritual communion at home, oriented toward your parish church.

Holding a Moment of Mass: Eucharistic Adoration

”We’re tormented by our wounds.”  

John and Victor are back hosting for this week’s episode! In this episode, they talk about the vicious cycle of sin and how hard it can be to get out of bad habits. They discuss how hard it is to ask for constant forgiveness from yourself and God.  In addition, they emphasize the effects of spiritual wounds and imposter syndrome. Lastly, they discuss the impact of God’s love and how he makes us worthy of restoration and healing.

St. Paul the Apostle was an incredible leader in his own right.  Before dying he left his legacy in writing both to St. Timothy and to St. Titus.  In this second part of this series on his First Letter to St. Timothy we see Paul express the importance of leadership and the specific contribution to Christian leadership for everyone in the world.  As Paul encourage Timothy so also he encourages us today.

DGT Episode 139 - Leaders For Christ, Leaders For All - 1 Timothy 2 - The Legacy Of St. Paul Part 2

<h3>Episode Overview</h3>David and Adam welcome Father Mike Schmitz to discuss the transformative power of prayer. With humor and candor, they explore the difference between merely saying prayers and truly praying, addressing how to cultivate a prayer life that aligns with God’s will. Drawing from Saint John Chrysostom and Fr. Thomas Dubay, the conversation emphasizes the universal need for prayer, especially for laypeople navigating the challenges of daily life, and offers practical insights for moving from rote recitation to a deeper, relational encounter with God.<h3>Key Discussion Points</h3><ul><li>Prayer for All Vocations: Fr. Mike Schmitz challenges the assumption that monks have a deeper prayer life, citing Saint John Chrysostom’s teaching that laypeople need prayer and scripture more than monks due to the “arrows and spears” of daily life—annoying bosses, irritating spouses, and bothersome kids. This resonates as a call for everyone to prioritize prayer, regardless of their state in life.</li><li>From Saying to Praying: The hosts and Fr. Mike discuss the transition from reciting set prayers to engaging in mental prayer (e.g., Ignatian prayer, Lectio Divina). Fr. Mike shares a personal story of a silent retreat where a memorized psalm provided words when his own failed, highlighting the value of rote prayers as a foundation for deeper communion.</li><li>Distractions in Prayer: The conversation addresses the common struggle of distractions, distinguishing between intentional distractions (e.g., checking a phone during prayer) and natural ones that God may use to purify prayer. Adam emphasizes the beauty of “wasting time” with God in contemplative presence, akin to an old couple silently enjoying each other’s company, versus being distracted by external devices.</li><li>Why Prayer Matters: Prayer is an act of faith, rooted in the belief that time spent with God transforms us into the person He calls us to be. Fr. Mike compares prayer’s motivation to health practices like intermittent fasting: if you’re convinced it makes a difference, you’ll commit. Prayer changes us to love like Jesus, even when we feel inadequate.</li><li>Overcoming Apathy and Ignorance: Referencing a humorous anecdote about a coach and player discussing “ignorance and apathy,” Fr. Mike stresses that convincing someone to pray requires sparking a desire to become more like Christ. Without an encounter with Jesus (the kerygma), prayer may seem irrelevant to those who don’t yet care to grow in holiness.</li><li>Practical Advice for Laymen: Fr. Thomas Dubay’s blunt wisdom—“If you’re content being a mediocre dad or mom, don’t pray”—underscores that prayer is essential for excellence in any vocation. Fr. Mike encourages introducing children to mental prayer early, as seen in his summer camp where sixth graders learn Lectio Divina and Ignatian prayer.</li></ul> <h3>Featured Gift</h3><ul><li><a href="https://catholicwoodworker.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Catholic Woodworker Rosary</a>: Fr. Mike receives an heirloom-quality rosary from The Catholic Woodworker, featuring handcrafted wood beads built to last. The hosts highlight its durability, even with young children handling it, and promote the official Catholic Man Show rosary.</li></ul> <h3>Spiritual Takeaway</h3>Prayer is not just a checkbox but an act of faith that transforms us into the image of Christ. Whether through memorized prayers that anchor us when words fail or mental prayer that fosters intimate communion, the key is presence with God. Laypeople, facing daily trials, need prayer as much as—if not more than—monks. By committing to prayer, even amidst distractions, we grow in love and align with God’s will for our lives.<h3>Call to Action</h3><ul><li>Get a <a href="https://catholicwoodworker.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Catholic Woodworker</a> Rosary: Visit <a href="https://catholicwoodworker.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">catholicwoodworker.com</a> to purchase an heirloom-quality rosary, including the official Catholic Man Show design, perfect for daily prayer.</li><li>Practice Mental Prayer: Start with Lectio Divina or Ignatian prayer to deepen your prayer life. Set aside time daily, even if brief, to be present with God, trusting that it will transform you.</li></ul>

Leading with daring might sound glorious but in practice it’s actually difficult to define.  How do we know when our daring is not rationale?  And where can we look to find the surety that we need to dare great thing for Christ?  In this fourth Leadership Lessons From The Saints we take a look at some of the comments by Jose Maria Escrivá.  Not only did St. Jose Maria dare something great for Christ but he described it as a virtue and a necessary component to anything that would call itself Christian leadership.

How a Methodist Christian Metalcore Band Member Became a Catholic Host and Apologist | Guest Matt Swaim

For spiritual life has a certain conformity with the life of the body: just as other corporeal things have a certain likeness to things spiritual. Now a man attains perfection in the corporeal life in two ways: first, in regard to his own person; secondly, in regard to the whole community of the society in which he lives, for man is by nature a social animal. With regard to himself man is perfected in the life of the body, in two ways; first, directly [per se], i.e. by acquiring some vital perfection; secondly, indirectly [per accidens], i.e. by the removal of hindrances to life, such as ailments, or the like. Now the life of the body is perfected "directly," in three ways. First, by generation whereby a man begins to be and to live: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Baptism, which is a spiritual regeneration, according to Titus 3:5: "By the laver of regeneration," etc. Secondly, by growth whereby a man is brought to perfect size and strength: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Confirmation, in which the Holy Ghost is given to strengthen us. Wherefore the disciples who were already baptized were bidden thus: "Stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high" (Lk. 24:49). Thirdly, by nourishment, whereby life and strength are preserved to man; and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the Eucharist. Wherefore it is said (Jn. 6:54): "Except you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you shall not have life in you." And this would be enough for man if he had an impassible life, both corporally and spiritually; but since man is liable at times to both corporal and spiritual infirmity, i.e. sin, hence man needs a cure from his infirmity; which cure is twofold. one is the healing, that restores health: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Penance, according to Ps. 40:5: "Heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee." The other is the restoration of former vigor by means of suitable diet and exercise: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Extreme Unction, which removes the remainder of sin, and prepares man for final glory. Wherefore it is written (James 5:15): "And if he be in sins they shall be forgiven him." In regard to the whole community, man is perfected in two ways. First, by receiving power to rule the community and to exercise public acts: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the sacrament of order, according to the saying of Heb. 7:27, that priests offer sacrifices not for themselves only, but also for the people. Secondly in regard to natural propagation. This is accomplished by Matrimony both in the corporal and in the spiritual life: since it is not only a sacrament but also a function of nature. We may likewise gather the number of the sacraments from their being instituted as a remedy against the defect caused by sin. For Baptism is intended as a remedy against the absence of spiritual life; Confirmation, against the infirmity of soul found in those of recent birth; the Eucharist, against the soul's proneness to sin; Penance, against actual sin committed after baptism; Extreme Unction, against the remainders of sins---of those sins, namely, which are not sufficiently removed by Penance, whether through negligence or through ignorance; order, against divisions in the community; Matrimony, as a remedy against concupiscence in the individual, and against the decrease in numbers that results from death. Some, again, gather the number of sacraments from a certain adaptation to the virtues and to the defects and penal effects resulting from sin. They say that Baptism corresponds to Faith, and is ordained as a remedy against original sin; Extreme Unction, to Hope, being ordained against venial sin; the Eucharist, to Charity, being ordained against the penal effect which is malice. order, to Prudence, being ordained against ignorance; Penance to Justice, being ordained against mortal sin; Matrimony, to Temperance, being ordained against concupiscence; Confirmation, to Fortitude, being ordained against infirmity.

03: Why are there 7 sacraments?

Why do we keep settling for less than what Christ has promised us? This week John and Victor chat about our habit of living in monotony. We are made for great fulfillment and lasting joy, but daily life and toil may drag us down to mediocrity if we are not vigilant. 

In this episode, John and Victor talk about:

- The repercussions of living without hope
- Modern day idols and fleeting moments of happiness
- Raising your head up in prayer!

Do you sometimes feel like you are in a spiritual wasteland? Maybe God wants you to do more than just ache. Maybe you should do more than just listen to what is going on around you. Maybe YOU are the guy that needs to ACT. YOU, unworthy, unqualified, underestimating the power of trying. 

In this episode we share: 
- How our hardships are sometimes invitations 
- The excuses we make. 
- The prophets are not that different from us.

Maybe YOU'RE The Guy...

When we decide to start following the Lord, it can be really tempting to allow our past to haunt us. But for husbands and fathers who provide for their families, it can be just as dangerous to have an unhealthy concern for the future. Whether we worry about the future or the past, we don’t take care of what’s happening right now. The solution? To quote Wayne’s World, we have to “Live in the ‘Now,’ Man!”

In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why you shouldn’t beat yourself up for the past (seriously, it’s a bad idea).
- How to provide for your family’s future without letting the future rule your life.
- What the Bible has to say about our past and future.
- And more!

Live in the "Now," Man!

One of the most common struggles that people have is passing from planning into action.  We all know what we should be doing, but actually doing it can seem an insurmountable hurdle.  How do we pass from having good intentions to actually having good actions?  Every leader has to do this.  St. Thomas Aquinas gives us the key.  He says the fear of risk can be overcome by love and by the knowledge of what is right.  Putting this into practice can be the difference between failure and success.

DGT Episode 177 - Fear And Risk - Why We Fail Part 3

If there’s one thing that organizational leaders share in common it’s the need to know how to advance when no one else does.  Being at the top means being in charge and being at the top means making decisions that will influence the entire organization for the better or for the worse.  The goal, obviously, is to make decisions well and this ability is much more than instinct.  For the ancients, they called it the virtue of prudence.  I’d like to look at St. Thomas Aquinas and what his teaching on prudence has to teach us today.

Today we chat to Thomas about Limbo. What is it? Are Catholics bound to believe in it? If it does exist what do the souls there experience? --- Whether those souls which depart with original sin alone, suffer from a bodily fire, and are punished by fire? Gregory Nazianzen in his fortieth sermon, which is entitled On Holy Baptism, distinguishes three classes of unbaptized persons: those namely who refuse to be baptized, those who through neglect have put off being baptized until the end of life and have been surprised by sudden death, and those who, like infants, have failed to receive it through no fault of theirs. Of the first he says that they will be punished not only for their other sins, but also for their contempt of Baptism; of the second, that they will be punished, though less severely than the first, for having neglected it; and of the last he says that "a just and eternal Judge will consign them neither to heavenly glory nor to the eternal pains of hell, for although they have not been signed with Baptism, they are without wickedness and malice, and have suffered rather than caused their loss of Baptism." He also gives the reason why, although they do not reach the glory of heaven, they do not therefore suffer the eternal punishment suffered by the damned: "Because there is a mean between the two, since he who deserves not honor and glory is not for that reason worthy of punishment, and on the other hand he who is not deserving of punishment is not for that reason worthy of glory and honor" [...] Hence, as his guilt did not result from an action of his own, even so neither should he be punished by suffering himself, but only by losing that which his nature was unable to obtain. On the other hand, those who are under sentence for original sin will suffer no loss whatever in other kinds of perfection and goodness which are consequent upon human nature ST. Appendix I, I, I. Whether these same souls suffer spiritual affliction on account of the state in which they are? right reason does not allow one to be disturbed on account of what one was unable to avoid; hence Seneca proves (Ep. lxxxv, and De ira ii, 6) that "a wise man is not disturbed." Now in these children there is right reason deflected by no actual sin. Therefore they will not be disturbed for that they undergo this punishment which they could nowise avoid. [...] Now in these children there is right reason deflected by no actual sin. Therefore they will not be disturbed [...] [T]he pain of punishment corresponds to the pleasure of sin; wherefore, since original sin is void of pleasure, its punishment is free of all pain. [...] [I]f one is guided by right reason one does not grieve through being deprived of what is beyond one's power to obtain, but only through lack of that which, in some way, one is capable of obtaining. Thus no wise man grieves for being unable to fly like a bird, or for that he is not a king or an emperor, since these things are not due to him; whereas he would grieve if he lacked that to which he had some kind of claim [...] Hence they will nowise grieve for being deprived of the divine vision; nay, rather will they rejoice for that they will have a large share of God's goodness and their own natural perfections.

This musician felt God calling him out of the world

The Catholic church has always taught that work was genuinely a human activity.  Meaning that it was something that we did that made our lives better.  But with the increase of technology, social media, and the changing demographics of the work force, work itself seems to be a different kind of experience.  Nevertheless, the truth about work hasn’t changed.  And God’s vision for work laid out in the Bible remains the same.  This is a Christian advantage.  By letting the truth of our faith inform our leadership Christians protect and enhance the working environment for all involved.

DGT Episode 274 - True Human Work - The Christian Leader's Advantage Part 6

On today’s podcast, we’re talking to one of the country’s most exciting Catholic evangelists and authors, Sonja Corbitt. Founder of Bible Study Evangelista, Sonja transformed her life and overcame anger through daily scripture readings and prayer. Now she teaches others how to unlock the beauty of The Word in their own lives!

A natural storyteller and convert to Catholicism, Corbitt shows listeners how daily Bible readings can draw them closer to God, break patterns of sin and bring a sense of control back into their lives.

In this episode, we learn that:
- Daily readings from the lectionary are the Holy Spirit’s voice to the whole Church.
- Mary, Mother of the Church, teaches us how to pray.
- Scripture study helps readers unlock a sacred and personal dialogue with God.

The Stages of the Masculine Journey w/ Chris Bruno

By our baptism God calls us to be leaders of our world.  But where does leadership begin?  How can someone who might not customarily be used to leading actually begin to assert themselves under God’s grace in the world around them?  St. Thomas Aquinas offers us some amazing insights from his Summa Theologica.  Let’s dive in and talk about the movement of the will and it’s power to lead.

Here's a slightly different translation of Aquinas' prayer before Mass: Almighty and everlasting God, behold I come to the Sacrament of Thine only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ: I come as one infirm to the physician of life, as one unclean to the fountain of mercy, as one blind to the light of everlasting brightness, as one poor and needy to the Lord of heaven and earth. Therefore I implore the abundance of Thy measureless bounty that Thou wouldst vouchsafe to heal my infirmity, wash my uncleanness, enlighten my blindness, enrich my poverty and clothe my nakedness, that I may receive the Bread of Angels, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, with such reverence and humility, with such sorrow and devotion, with such purity and faith, with such purpose and intention as may be profitable to my soul's salvation. Grant unto me, I pray, the grace of receiving not only the Sacrament of our Lord's Body and Blood, but also the grace and power of the Sacrament. O most gracious God, grant me so to receive the Body of Thine only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, which He took from the Virgin Mary, as to merit to be incorporated into His mystical Body, and to be numbered amongst His members. O most loving Father, give me grace to behold forever Thy beloved Son with His face at last unveiled, whom I now purpose to receive under the sacramental veil here below. Amen.

159: How to prepare for Holy Mass W/ Fr. Ryan Mann

On today’s podcast, we’re talking about the mistaken idea that a personal relationship with God is a Protestant thing and not necessary for Catholics. Nothing could be further from the truth! Throughout the Gospels, Christ invites us to know Him, not just know about Him. Pope Benedict said, “Many people perceive Christianity as something institutional, rather than an encounter with Christ, which explains why they don’t see it as a source of joy.”

From the Sacraments to Scriptures, to songs and prayers, Catholicism creates opportunities for each and every one of us to experience the closeness and friendship of God. This is the “why” of our faith.

In this episode, we learn that:
- The Sacraments are the greatest examples of Christ’s desire to have a personal relationship with us.
- At its core, the connection to Jesus is one of love.
- Like any loving relationship, faith is forged with care and commitment.

Personal Relationship With Jesus: Is It Catholic?

The Point Men briefly check in on each other&apos;s lives before diving into true husbandry, which mimics that of Christ&apos;s relationship with the church.

Husbandry

Many of us stay constantly busy—doing good things, even spiritual things—without asking whether our efforts are truly fruitful or aligned with God's will. Join John and Victor in the pew this week as they reflect on the difference between scattered effort and focused, Spirit-led action. No matter what stage of life you're in, it's time to move beyond spiritual autopilot.

Pause. Pray. And ask yourself honestly: What am I doing? Why am I doing it? Where is the fruit? And what is God actually calling me to do?

44: What is grace? Why is it important? With Michael Gormley

Reason for Hope Promo Clip

All of us engaged in business know the scenario:  the people at the top have the answers, the people at the bottom have the wherewithal, the people at the top become frustrated that the people at the bottom don’t execute, and the people at the bottom become frustrated because the people at the top don’t listen.  How do we reverse this paradigm?  In 2011 the Catholic Church issued a document called, “The Vocation Of The Catholic Business Leader.”  It issued six principles to govern leadership in this environment.  The fourth principle, that of subsidiarity, tackles just this question.

An Atheist and Protestant Dilemma Leads to Catholicism (w/ Devin Rose)

The Gospel gives us many ways that Jesus addresses his Word to the people.  Amongst the most popular are parables.  These little stories or comparisons help us to understand the deeper messages Jesus is trying to convey.  But do they have anything to say to us who are trying to lead?  In this first of a three part series, we begin to unpack some of Jesus’ parables to find the specific message they have for us.  And we begin by understanding that God is calling us to lead.
