Episode replay from the first season. Today’s guest is Fr. Paul Scalia, the Vicar General of the Diocese of Arlington. Fr. Scalia shares his testimony and a bit about growing up with his father, Antonin Scalia. He talks about his calling into the priesthood and what it’s like to be a priest for such a young diocese. We discuss the state of men today and how in today’s society, men have been deprived of heroes and the role of providing and protecting.

From a spit-take over a shocking book line to the death of a teenage hockey player, every story in this chapter is a reminder that life is short, fragile, and urgent. But more than fear, it offers purpose.

Heroic Leadership & Spiritual Multiplication with David Bereit

In Session 2, we saw that men in our society have fallen in a manner similar to King David and that we are suffering the same consequences. To understand why, we must go back “to the beginning” 

Men have been entrusted with four leadership roles. They flow from the original blessing to humanity. To fulfill these four leadership roles, men must develop within themselves the five characteristics of an authentic leader. There is incredible beauty and depth behind these leadership roles and characteristics.

There are heroic stories of men who have fulfilled them and tragic stories of those who haven’t. We cover all of them in the Fall semester of “Becoming a Man After God’s Own Heart.”

What does it really mean to be a man? Chapter Eight: Created delivers the answer with brutal clarity: to be a man is to give your life away. Father Larry tears into cultural lies about masculinity and replaces them with a vision rooted in Genesis, Jesus, and Joseph. This isn&rsquo;t about bravado. It&rsquo;s about becoming a protector, a servant, and a visible sign of God the Father&mdash;especially to your family. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Chapter 8: Created to Serve

Deacon Charlie Echeverry cuts through the noise and gets real about what’s missing in today’s world—authentic friendship and real missionary discipleship. He doesn't sugarcoat it: the loneliness epidemic we’re facing? It’s no accident. It's a product of tech overload and a culture that's forgotten what real connection looks like. He breaks it down with raw, personal stories, giving you four clear signs you're in a true brotherhood: showing up in prayer, valuing people over transactions, and going all-in for God and those around you. With a mix of humor and relentless passion, he lights a fire under you to build genuine relationships and take action in sharing Christ's love. It’s a call to step up, transform your community, and stop playing small.About the 2024 Summit: The Heroic Leadership Summit is the annual, no-nonsense, cutting-edge event for Catholic men hungry for serious growth in their faith journey.

Creating Authentic Brotherhood with Deacon Charlie Echeverry 

Jim Hickey brings the spicy to The BeatiDudes by sharing a full-blown meal from his Dallas-based restaurant Charlie’s Creole Kitchen. Instead of finishing the show differently, the entire show takes place over the course of appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Jim was raised by a father who left the church and a mother who practiced her Christian faith across multiple dominions. He was the only one of his siblings to be Baptized in the Catholic Church, and he remembers attending Mass with his Irish grandmother growing up before entering RCIA as a young man. Jim was not a big man heading into high school, but after a major growth spurt—9 inches in two years—he knew he was being called to play football. After one year of junior college, Jim walked on to the University of Georgia football team. After college, Jim went to work for a former Heisman trophy winner at a beer company. His career then took him to sales for an education software company working closely with underprivileged youth. He realized his life was missing Jesus Christ somewhere during this time. Jim shares one of his guiding lights, the Fulton Sheen reflections on the seven last words of Christ. That launches a crazy deep exploration of faith and manhood, including talks of his time at the Christ Renews His Parish retreat and Jim’s calling to the pro-life movement.

WOF 018: The Story of Word on Fire

We have been taking the past few episodes of the show to discuss each of the great men and women featured in Word on Fire's epic new film series, CATHOLICISM: The Pivotal Players. Today we're focusing on a pivotal player of our own time, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. Globally recognized as Mother Theresa, this diminutive Albanian nun was widely considered the greatest living saint during the latter half of the 20th century. Now, nineteen years after her death, she will be officially canonized, "Saint Teresa of Calcutta" by Pope Francis. In this episode Bishop Barron discusses her life, her faith, and why, according to Fr. Paul Murray, she's a saint who "loved Jesus in the night." Our listener question wonders how it's possible to unite our suffering with Jesus on the cross.

WOF 038: Why Mother Teresa is a Saint

Heroic Men welcomes Dr. Ed Tse, founder of <a href="https://aiparenting.live/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AIParenting.live</a>, to discuss AI's impact on society, specifically focusing on the challenges it presents to men's mental health and connections. Dan Donaldson welcomes you to this online event, emphasizes Heroic Men's mission to strengthen ministry to men across North America. Dr. Ed, founder of AI Parenting, shares his insights on AI and loneliness, highlighting the manipulation and isolation caused by AI-driven platforms.Key points discussed include:1. Manipulation: AI and social media are designed to manipulate users by showing content that maximizes engagement, often through sensational and emotional triggers.2. Isolation: Despite increasing connectivity, social media often leads to superficial connections and deeper feelings of loneliness.3. Navigation: To navigate the digital landscape, individuals need unshakeable beliefs and values to anchor themselves amidst the constant manipulation.4. Personal Data: Users must understand that sharing personal information online is akin to sharing their digital soul, which can be used to manipulate them.5. Decision Fatigue: Social media bombards users with countless decisions, draining their mental energy and affecting their ability to make important life choices.6. Emotional Control: Constant exposure to dopamine-inducing content on social media impacts motivation and mental health, leading to issues like addiction and reduced life satisfaction.7. Technology and Automation: Users must be cautious about what aspects of their lives they allow AI to automate, as it can lead to loss of control and increased manipulation.Dr. Ed encourages men to be proactive in their faith and digital interactions, urging them to share their stories and build authentic connections. The session concludes with a call to action for men to participate in the Heroic Leadership Summit and other events to strengthen their faith and community.

In this episode of Catholic Recon: Testimonies from reverts and converts, I sit down with Francisco Sitja, a Brazilian-born revert. Francisco grew up in an atheist, communist household and spent years caught up in the party lifestyle, broken relationships, and conspiracy rabbit holes. His journey back to Christ is filled with raw struggles—dabbling in the occult, fasting experiments, anger, oppression, and total isolation during the pandemic.Through it all, God pursued him. Francisco discovered the power of confession, the Rosary, adoration, and consecration to St. Joseph and Our Lady. Along the way, God gave him unmistakable “signal graces”—from Scripture to music—that broke through his intellectual walls and revealed His presence. This is a powerful testimony of how God takes even the smallest “yes” and pours out overwhelming grace. #Catholic #ConversionStory #CatholicTestimony #CatholicFaith #Rosary #Confession #Eucharist #CatholicPodcast #Redemption ▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship▶This is the home of powerful, real-life faith transformations 🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

From Demonic Séances to Catholic Grace | Francisco Sitja's Testimony

Thomas Joseph White's book <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Incarnate-Lord-Thomistic-Christology-Ressourcement/dp/0813227453/?tag=woonfi-20"> The Incarnate Lord</a> discusses the importance of Jesus' identity. The classical tradition of Christology understood Jesus ontologically, that is to say, in terms of his fundamental being or existential identity; whereas modern and contemporary Christology tends to understand Jesus psychologically or relationally.

WOF 069: Following the Right Jesus

A native of Spain, young Jesuit Peter Claver left his homeland forever in 1610 to be a missionary in the colonies of the New World. He sailed into Cartagena, a rich port city washed by the Caribbean. He was ordained there in 1615. Deacon Harold breaks open more on St. Peter today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 31:20 & 21

Saint Peter Claver

Two young saints, one who loved mountaineering and the other rocked Nike sneakers: Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati prove holiness doesn’t mean leaving normal life behind—it means living it to the fullest with Christ. 

Father Dave and Deacon Bob reflect on Pope Leo’s homily at the canonization Mass for these two young Italians and explore why so many saints begin saying yes to God in their youth. 
True to They That Hope form, they take a lap through the weekend in sports, from NFL openers to U.S. Open storylines to the eternal LeBron vs. Jordan debate. Then they settle into the title’s theme: modern sanctity. Carlo’s wisdom (“In front of the sun you get a tan; in front of the Eucharist, you become a saint”) and Frassati’s cry “to the heights!” frame a simple invitation: say yes to the Lord today. 
They close with campus updates, a prayer, and a warm invitation to share your favorite podcast memories. Saints Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati, pray for us!

The Case Behind The Case: No Life Without Death

In this powerful episode of Heroic Stories, Jeff Joaquin shares his raw and emotional journey from a life of addiction, idolatry, and despair to a profound encounter with God's mercy. Raised in a devout Catholic family, Jeff's struggles began early, leading him down a path of alcoholism, drug abuse, and poor choices. A cocaine-induced heart attack at age 24 became the turning point, compelling him to call out to Jesus Christ in desperation.Through the sacrament of general confession, Jeff experienced the life-changing power of God's forgiveness, transforming his brokenness into a message of hope for others. Now a devoted husband, father, and faith-filled speaker, Jeff uses his past to inspire men to leave sin behind, embrace vulnerability, and rediscover their purpose in Christ.From near-death experiences to saving lives by sharing his testimony, Jeff's story is a testament to the power of redemption and the infinite mercy of God. If you're ready to be inspired by a true story of resilience and faith, this episode is a must-listen.Subscribe free to weekly Heroic Men email: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://stories.heroicmen.org">https://stories.heroicmen.org</a> | ABOUT THIS SHOW |Heroic Stories—the series to strengthen Catholic men with raw stories of heroic grit &amp; faith.

From Addiction to Redemption: Jeff Joaquin’s Powerful Testimony

How do we share the Faith in a culture where many people don’t understand what we mean by words like "sin" or "salvation"—and where the media constantly bombards us with the idea that the teachings of the Church are irrelevant, outdated, or bigoted? All too often, people aren’t even interested in hearing about the Faith! Especially when we seek to reach young people or bring back those who have left the Church, we must find ways to communicate more effectively—in short, to make our arguments meaningful. Here, the imagination is essential, but often neglected. In this sample lesson from her Word on Fire Institute course, Dr. Holly Ordway focuses on the role of the imagination in apologetics, showing how attention to language and meaning can make the work of catechesis and evangelization much more effective.

WOF 242: What Is Imaginative Apologetics?

50% of young men abandon faith in the Church - and God altogether - because they believe faith and science are in conflict. More, they believe there is zero evidence for God, Jesus, and life after death. Today, there's more evidence than ever before for these, and a super-majority of young scientists declare they believe in God. Fr Spitzer's series is powerful and effective with young men between 13-24 years.

The Strange Happenings On The Set of Nefarious

This episode was supposed to be a regular chat… 
Until Father Dave and Deacon Bob decided to take a break. 
So instead, enjoy this special supercut episode celebrating Pope Francis’s newest encyclical, Corde Amavit (He Loved Us), with a heart-to-heart on the Sacred Heart. 
They unpack Pope Francis’s bold reflections on love, suffering, piety, and empathy—and why the Sacred Heart still speaks powerfully to our anxious, distracted world. Their reflections wind through stories of Pope statues on clearance, Deacon Bob’s favorite icons, and the quiet call to slow down, forgive, and let our hearts be changed. 
Plus: Counselor Troi, pierced sides, holy hours, and the Box of Joy: an initiative that could transform a child’s Christmas! 
Don’t miss this heartfelt compilation reminding us why the Sacred Heart still matters—especially today. 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) A Box of Joy and a Pope Statue Sale  
Deacon Bob opens the episode with an appeal for <a href='https://crosscatholic.org/box-of-joy/'>Box of Joy</a>, a way to share Christmas with children in poverty. He also tells the tale of buying a Pope Francis statue on clearance—and why pity can be a spiritual act of mercy. 
(02:05) He Loved Us: Pope Francis on the Sacred Heart  
Fr. Dave and Deacon Bob introduce the encyclical <a href='https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/it/bollettino/pubblico/2024/10/24/0820/01635.html%22%20/l%20%22in'>Corde Amavit</a>, a deeply personal letter about the heart of Jesus. They reflect on its emotional depth, its call to compassion, and how it reveals the Pope’s heart for a wounded world. 
(09:01) Where Did Our Hearts Go?  
We’ve become people of the head, not the heart. Pope Francis challenges the modern world’s obsession with intellect and technology—and invites us to rediscover devotion, empathy, and childlike wonder. 
(18:44) Saints, Statues, and the Pierced Side of Christ  
From <a href='https://spiritualdirection.com/2020/08/27/63597'>St. Augustine</a> and <a href='https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-of-the-day/saint-margaret-mary-alacoque/'>St. Margaret Mary</a> to sacred art and the Eucharist, the encyclical draws on centuries of heart-centered theology and mystical vision. The Sacred Heart isn’t just an image—it’s a real encounter with Christ. 
(34:09) Forgiveness, Free Will, and the Mission of Love  
In the final reflections, Pope Francis reminds us that love must be shared. Reparation, mercy, and self-giving love flow from the Sacred Heart. God won’t force his love—but invites us to choose it, live it, and share it with others.

Dilexit nos SUPERCUT

Habemus Papam! The Church has a new pope—and he’s from Chicago.
In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob react with joy, awe, and a healthy dose of disbelief to the election of Pope Leo XIV, a South Side Chicago native and fellow “Bob.” The first American pontiff, Leo XIV is an Augustinian, missionary, canon lawyer, and lifelong baseball fan with deep roots in both Villanova and Peru. His election is already making waves—and memes.
Before diving into Vatican news, the hosts process a different kind of drama: sports heartbreak. Bob relives the Cleveland Cavaliers’ playoff collapse—one for the record books—and the deep disappointment that followed. Father Dave offers perspective (and a hopeful prediction) before they shift gears to highlight Franciscan University's Commencement weekend. From Mary Rice Hasson’s bold defense of the human person to Bishop Andrew Cozzens’ catechetical preaching, the event was a joyful witness to faith and truth.
Finally, they unpack the significance of the name Leo, what this new pope may prioritize, and how the legacy of Pope Leo XIII—with his groundbreaking encyclicals on labor, justice, and the Holy Spirit—may resonate in the years ahead.
From Chicago sports to conclave suspense, from Catholic memes to Marian devotion, this episode is a fast-paced blend of humor, reverence, and hope for the Church’s future under a pope who, as Bob puts it, “plays Wordle with his brother and orders from Wawa.”

5 American Heroes Who Saved the Lives of Women

Friends, a <a href= "https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/08/05/transubstantiation-eucharist-u-s-catholics/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recent study from the Pew Research Center</a> found that nearly seven-in-ten Catholics (69%) believe that during Mass, the bread and wine used in communion “are symbols of the body and blood of Jesus Christ.” Only one-third of U.S. Catholics believe in the doctrine of transubstantiation, which says the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Jesus. This is a spiritual crisis, and in response, the United States bishops have launched a three-year Eucharistic revival to help Catholics understand the truth and beauty of this sacrament. On today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I discuss our hopes for the revival and the special resource Word on Fire created to accompany it. A listener asks, if the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, is the Eucharist a person?

Seeking the Bread of Life

This is the raw, powerful true story of Robert Tunmire, co-founder of Heroic Men, who went from the edge of destruction to a life of purpose and impact. At 16, Robert didn&rsquo;t care if his future led to death or jail&mdash;until a chance meeting with a mentor changed everything. What follows is a story of redemption, sacrifice, and spiritual awakening.
In this episode, you&rsquo;ll hear how a man with no direction found his calling, built a business at 17, and eventually discovered that true strength comes not from doing it all, but from surrendering it all. From dealing with the pain of past mistakes&mdash;including the haunting regret of an abortion&mdash;to mentoring young men, Robert's story is proof that heroism isn&rsquo;t about perfection. It&rsquo;s about presence, courage, and becoming the man someone else needs you to be.

WOF 224: Thomas Aquinas on the Real Presence (Part 2 of 2)

Terms like “safe spaces,” “trigger warnings,” “harm reduction,” “micro-aggression,” “emotional wellbeing” and “fragility” are dominating the culture as well as the governance of many institutions. But by some measurements, our society is more physically compromised and mentally delicate than ever. Today, we discuss the contemporary embrace of “safety” and whether it overlaps with a Catholic understanding of the individual and common good.   A listener asks, can a priest ever deny absolution during confession? 00:00 | Intro 01:51 | Bishop Barron’s Confirmation season 02:30 | Understanding the contemporary use of “safety” 07:45 | The relationship between risk, safety, and flourishing 12:23 | The emotional life and its role 16:14 | Physical safety as the highest good 21:36 | Speech as a form of violence 24:04 | The spiritual works of mercy vs. coddling 25:16 | Safety and the cardinal virtues 26:42 | Christ crucified and the value of safety 27:58 | Listener question 30:03 | Word on Fire Institute Links: <ul> <li>Learn about the Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/ - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

WOF 437: Is Safety Culture Good for Us?

In this week’s episode Bishop Barron discusses an intrinsic aspect of evangelization; community. Not only is there an intrinsic need of mankind to have a community, which the Church teaches is part of man’s nature, but also the need to have a certain kind of community within the Christian life. A listener asks how we ought to distinguish between authentic conscience and what CS Lewis called "the poison of subjectivism"?

Dialogue Prayer

Today we share a sample from our new Word on Fire Institute course titled <a href= "https://wordonfire.institute/courses/faith-science-and-sin/"> "Faith, Science, and Sin"</a> taught by Dr. Christopher Baglow. Dr. Baglow considers the mysteries of the Catholic faith in dialogue with scientific discoveries, allowing us to avoid the shallowness that John Paul II says debases the Gospel and leaves us ashamed before history. This course introduces us to some of the richest insights of the Catholic intellectual tradition. We confront the problem of evil amidst God’s good creation and consider these fundamental questions: What makes being human so special? How might modern science become a stepping-stone rather than a stumbling block to understanding what we believe?

WOF 317: Faith, Science, and Sin

Football frustration, birthday celebrations, and a million-dollar baseball card?
This week, Deacon Bob Rice and Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, bounce between sports, sacraments, science, and serious social issues—starting with the Super Bowl matchup they didn’t want but expected: Chiefs vs. Eagles. 
Along the way, they dig into the nuances of wearing clerics, honor a kid’s courage in turning down the Pirates, and highlight a new series bridging faith and science. But the conversation takes a thoughtful turn as they explore the complex Catholic response to immigration policy, urging a balance of justice, mercy, and human dignity. 
From birthday affirmations, to March for Life reflections, this episode is full of laughter, challenge, and signs of hope—reminding us that faith touches everything from the football field to the halls of Congress. Join the conversation as faith meets football, science, and social conscience. 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Super Bowl Set: Chiefs vs. Eagles  
The hosts reluctantly preview the <a href='https://www.nfl.com/super-bowl/'>big game</a>, discuss controversial ref calls, and air their mixed feelings about <a href='https://www.nfl.com/players/patrick-mahomes/'>Mahomes</a>, <a href='https://www.chiefs.com/team/coaches-roster/andy-reid'>Reid</a>, and <a href='https://www.chiefs.com/team/players-roster/travis-kelce/'>Kelce</a> (plus <a href='https://www.taylorswift.com/'>Taylor Swift</a> cameos). Father Dave checks betting lines; Deacon Bob groans. 
(06:13) Virtual Reality in the NFL &amp; Bad Calls on the Field  
<a href='https://www.sportscienceagency.com/blog/jayden-daniels-how-virtual-reality-and-ai-are-transforming-quarterback-decision-making'>Jaden Daniels’ VR training</a> sparks a conversation about innovation in sports—and what makes a game feel unfair. The hosts recall past playoff heartbreaks and share Super Bowl hopes (and grudges). 
(10:46) One Million-Dollar Baseball Card  
An 11-year-old unboxes a rare <a href='https://www.mlb.com/player/paul-skenes-694973'>Paul Skenes</a> rookie card and turns down a once-in-a-lifetime offer from the <a href='https://www.mlb.com/pirates'>Pirates</a>. The moral of the story? Sometimes wisdom comes from kids—and cash beats perks. 
(14:30) Faith and Science: Launching The Purposeful Lab  
Dr. Dan Kuebler’s new video series, <a href='https://faithandreason.com/series/purposeful-lab/'>the Purposeful Lab</a>, takes center stage. Inspired by <a href='https://www.magiscenter.com/'>Father Robert Spitzer’s legacy</a>, the series explores topics like gender, the human person, and how Catholics engage the sciences without fear. 
(20:23) Travel Tales and Political Turns  
Father Dave recounts his “stuck” trip to Florida and meetings in D.C. about <a href='https://safety.franciscan.edu/title-ix/'>Title IX</a>, religious liberty, and athletics. He also shares about connecting with students at the <a href='https://marchforlife.org/'>March for Life</a> and the power of showing up—even for a terrible bus ride. 
(26:13) Catholic Bishops and the Immigration Debate  
The hosts unpack the <a href='https://www.usccb.org/news/2025/human-dignity-not-dependent-persons-citizenship-or-immigration-status'>USCCB’s recent statement on immigration</a>, affirming the need for enforcement while condemning fear-based raids on schools, churches, and hospitals. It’s a raw and honest conversation about dignity, policy, and what the Church teaches. 
(33:29) Signs of Hope  
Deacon Bob finds hope in <a href='https://younglife.org/'>Young Life</a> leaders and the chance to preach to a crowd that includes his own kids. Father Dave reflects on the deeper meaning of the March for Life—why we need to gather not just to oppose abortion but to proclaim the beauty of life itself.

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

Juan Acosta is a young Latino immigrant who founded Tabella, the social app for Catholic communities. Before he started Tabella in 2020, he was the COO of Draper University, a pre-accelerator in Silicon Valley. Juan accelerated 700+ entrepreneurs and invested in world-changing ideas. He currently also serves as a board member of the funding arm of the International Catholic Migration Commission. After immigrating to the USA with his family at a young age, he faced incredible challenges that fortified his faith slowly - many of those experiences have led him now to focus on Tabella and his life’s mission of bringing the world closer to God. https://jointabella.com/

WOF 117: Who is Jordan Peterson?

C.S. Lewis wrote more than 30 books which have collectively sold over 100 million copies, including the Chronicles of Narnia series, Mere Christianity, and The Screwtape Letters. But of those thirty books, there was only one which Lewis described himself as “almost my favorite among my books,” yet he was disappointed that “in general [the book] has been almost totally ignored by the public.” The book was his prophetic text titled The Abolition of Man. It’s an important book but one that many readers find dense and challenging. Thankfully, Michael Ward, one of the world’s leading C.S. Lewis scholars, has stepped in to help. His groundbreaking new book titled <a href="https://wordonfire.org/humanity">After Humanity: A Guide to C.S. Lewis's ‘The Abolition of Man</a> was just published by Word on Fire Academic. Today, Brandon Vogt sits down with Michael to discuss Lewis' original text and how Michael's new guide and commentary help readers make sense of Lewis’s argument.

WOF 303: Which of C.S. Lewis's Books Was His Favorite?

Today, we’re excited to share with you Bishop Barron’s recent talk at Harvard University titled “The Catholic Intellectual Tradition,” sponsored by the Harvard Catholic Forum. Bishop Barron explores some foundational themes in the Catholic intellectual tradition, including God, the human person, sin and grace, society, and freedom. All flow from Christology, our understanding of Jesus, so that, as St. Bonaventure said, Christ is truly found at the center of all the disciplines pursued in the university.

FORTITUDE is a no-nonsense advice book for finding the strength to deal with everything from menial daily frustrations to truly difficult challenges. More than that, it is a roadmap for a more resilient American culture. With meditations on perseverance, failure, and finding much-needed heroes, the book is the antidote for a prevailing "safety culture" of trigger warnings and safe spaces. Interspersed with lessons from history and psychology is Crenshaw's own story of how an average American kid from the Houston suburbs went from war zones to the halls of Congress -- and managed to navigate his path with a sense of humor and an even greater sense that, no matter what anyone else around us says or does, we are in control of our own destiny.

About our drink:
Deanston 12 year
The new, relaunched 12 year old, this single malt has been bottled at a slightly higher proof, negating the necessity for chill-filtration and as such retaining more of its original charm. A lovely dram from the Deanston distillery.

About the Topic:
This episode is taken from Dr. Tim Gray - <a href="https://ascensionpress.com/collections/exodus-called-to-freedom" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Exodus: Called to Freedom by Ascension Press</a>
When God called Israel out of slavery in Egypt to a life of freedom as his people, it was the defining moment in Israel’s history. Exodus: Called to Freedom looks through the lens of Christ and the Church to show that, more than just seeking to free his people from the domination of Pharaoh, God desired to free his people from the far more dangerous grip of sin. Presenter Tim Gray explains how the Exodus story is not just Israel’s story but our story as well, because it reveals who God is and what he calls us to be. Discover the divine purpose behind the plagues on Egypt and how God’s law reflects his love and concern. Learn the keys to authentic freedom and how a proper understanding of the Exodus can illuminate one’s understanding of the Christian Faith.

Continuing the journey in the fourth lecture of Bishop Barron’s course, “<a href= "https://community.wordonfire.org/c/dantes-catholic-imagination">Dante’s Catholic Imagination</a>,” we see notion that “we’re damned alone, but we’re only saved together” on full display as Dante climbs Mount Purgatory. While hell was a place of violence and self absorption, purgatory is a place of charity, hope, and faith.

Friends, today we share my recent <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjxKG4mR3U4">“Bishop Barron Presents” discussion with Shia LeBeouf</a>. Shia is an actor famous for his roles in Transformers, Honey Boy, and Peanut Butter Falcon, among other films.

Friends, in many parts of the world the Catholic Church is shrinking. Parishes are closing or merging, pastors are devising strategies of consolidation. But for the Church to flourish, we can’t just manage decline. We need strategies for growth. That’s what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today’s “The Word on Fire Show.” A listener asks, why should Catholics be pro-life?

WOF 361: What's Our Church's Growth Strategy?

This week, Bishop Barron answers questions from listeners all over the world. These include: <ul> <li>If animals have distinct personalities, then why does the Church teach they don’t have souls?</li> <li>What is being conveyed by identifying Jesus as the New Adam and Mary as the New Eve?</li> <li>Do you believe we have a predestined “purpose”?</li> <li>What can we say about the love of God to someone who has lost an infant to disease, or a parent to suicide?</li> <li>If evil is a privation of good (non-being), how can demons be pure non-being?</li> <li>Why do some people say, after they die, they wish to see God “face to face”? What does this mean?</li> <li>Does the Incarnation bring about the fulfillment of nature, or is Jesus’ divinity something supernaturally added to an already-complete human nature?</li> </ul> If you have a question, be sure to send it in via <a href= "http://askbishopbarron.com/">AskBishopBarron.com</a>.

WOF 019: How to Discern God's Will for Your Life

It's commonly assumed that J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, was an arch-conservative, a backward-looking person, and that he valued nothing that smacked of the modern day. But in a groundbreaking new book titled <a href= "https://wordonfire.org/tolkien">Tolkien's Modern Reading: Middle-earth Beyond the Middle Ages</a>, the first in our Word on Fire Academic line of titles, Dr. Holly Ordway reveals that Tolkien was a much broader reader than previously believed. He was quite familiar with contemporary writers and books, and those modern sources significantly shaped his Middle-earth stories. Today, Brandon Vogt interviews Holly about her new book and some of the modern writers Tolkien enjoyed.

WOF 268: What Books Did J.R.R. Tolkien Read?

What if the path to heroism didn&rsquo;t start with strength&mdash;but with panic?&nbsp; In The Hero&rsquo;s Journey That Started with Anxiety, we follow Nick Pierlot, a Catholic husband, father, and missionary, as he walks us through his darkest hour: a breakdown on a spiritual pilgrimage. In the face of crippling panic attacks, emotional repression, and a crisis of identity, Nick uncovers an unexpected truth&mdash;heroism begins not with power, but with surrender. From battling inner dragons to chopping down literal god-trees, from failing forward to forming unshakable faith, this episode is a raw, honest deep dive into how God makes men heroic. It&rsquo;s not about being the hero&mdash;it&rsquo;s about letting God be one in you.

10 combat tours. 4,000 soldiers brought home alive. One daughter&rsquo;s cry for help &mdash; and suddenly, the battlefield was home. In this gripping episode of Heroic Stories, former Army Special Forces officer Sean Berg opens up about the wars he fought overseas &mdash; and the one he never saw coming: watching his teenage daughter spiral into a mental health crisis that nearly took her life.
From running combat missions in Afghanistan to holding his daughter after a suicide attempt, Sean shares the raw, unfiltered truth about masculinity, helplessness, faith, and the power of choosing family over career. What happens when a warrior trained for every scenario faces one he can&rsquo;t control? How do you hold onto your faith when everything seems lost? And what does it mean to live a life of purpose when your past identity no longer fits?
This is not just a story of survival &mdash; it&rsquo;s a story of surrender, redemption, and a father&rsquo;s decision to fight the right war. For every man who&rsquo;s ever felt broken, overwhelmed, or unsure how to lead &mdash; this conversation is a map home.

With the presidential election around the corner, Bishop Barron and Brandon Vogt consider principles that should inform our voting decisions. They also discuss a recent Pew Research Center report titled <a href= "https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/09/15/8-facts-about-catholics-and-politics-in-the-u-s/">“8 facts about Catholics and politics in the U.S”</a> and explore the voting guidance provided by the U.S. bishops through their document, <a href= "https://www.usccb.org/offices/justice-peace-human-development/forming-consciences-faithful-citizenship">Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship</a>. A listener asks, what can a person of faith do that an atheist can’t do?

WOF 253: Catholicism and Politics

Imagine starting something that no one believes in. That’s exactly what happened when Andre Regnier founded CCO in 1988. Evangelization wasn’t just uncommon in Catholic circles back then—it was almost a dirty word. But he and his wife pushed forward, convinced that God was calling them to bring young people back to the Church. In this conversation, Andre shares the struggles, the doubts, and the moments that almost made him quit. So how did he keep going? Two things: prayer and perseverance. He describes how his personal prayer life sustained him, how he learned to talk to God like a friend over coffee, and why prayer isn’t just about checking off a list—it’s about real relationship. He also shares the exact steps he teaches young people today to build a meaningful daily prayer life. If you've ever felt disconnected from prayer, if you've wondered how to hear God speak, or if you've needed encouragement to stay strong in your faith, this episode is for you. Plus, Andre introduces a simple prayer guide that could transform your own spiritual life.

Fr. Sean and Christian Perfection

Today, John, Devin, and Sam are discussing something that will get you out of the vicious cycle that sin places upon us.

About our drink:
<a href="https://www.missionliquor.com/products/calumet-single-rack-black-bourbon-14yr-750ml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Calumet 14 year Bourbon</a>
Calumet Farm Single Rack Black 14 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey represents both the prestigious nature and hard-earned quality of a premium Kentucky straight bourbon. It is painstakingly crafted from extremely small batches of 19 barrels. All barrels used are aged in a single, center cut rack from the ideal maturation location and conditions inside the rick house. This expression of the Calumet Farm Bourbon family is a true convergence of craftsmanship and flavor. It is Non-Chill Filtered for added depth of character and color.
This Bourbon is carefully distilled at Western Spirits Beverage Company distillery, United States.
About our gear:
What are the things you like most in your office?
About the Topic:
<div class="fluid-width-video-wrapper">
The topic is focused from the lens of Prudence:
Prudence is the first cardinal virtue for a reason; it is the virtue that teaches us knowledge of reality. From prudence, we gain the ability to discern what is good in every circumstance and to choose the right actions. St. Thomas Aquinas quotes Aristotle that “prudence is right reason applied to action” 
Foresight, a sub-virtue of prudence, is the ability to see into the future and direct actions toward an end. Foresight allows us to rightly order present actions to a good end, knowing that we can never fully predict the future.
Shrewdness, another sub-virtue of prudence. It means to be able to form both a correct and a quick opinion. This is done by developing the mental insight to read between the lines or finding the middle term in a demonstration. The Latin is solertia, which means to have a clear-sighted objectivity, even a dispassionate observance of situations. The one who is shrewd is agile and quick-witted, able to put the pieces together, both from memory and from learning, into the big picture.
<h3 class="p1">When Looking for a Job:</h3>
- There are only certain things you can control:
 - Be praying for your potential boss. Be praying for your current boss and your coworkers.
 - Ask your Guardian Angel for guidance and assistance
 - The way you dress
 - Your online presence
 - Research the employer
 - Think of ways that would set you apart from other candidates
 - Understand that the interview begins the moment you set foot on the premise
 - Keep answers brief and concise
 - Be prepared for questions: “Tell us something about yourself"
 - Thank the interviewer for their time
<h3 class="p1">Telling your boss you are leaving:</h3>
 - Have a good transition plan 
 - Be prepared for a counteroffer
 - Be prepared to be walked out of the building right then
 - Don’t make the announcement on social media too early 
 - Make sure to thank your boss and coworkers 
Don’t let the norms of others dictate your values and behavior.

Virtues in the Job Market

We have a crisis in fatherhood that has shaken the concept of fatherhood its very foundation. It is affecting all of society. It is affecting you and your family.

How did we reach a state where fatherhood is reduced to exchange of a small amount of genetic material. Perhaps we’re the ones who have devalued our own fatherhood.

St. John Paul II stated, “men reveal and relive on earth the very fatherhood of God.”  What does it mean to be a father?

<div>

Corner Creek has quietly been around as a “modern” brand since the late 1980’s. During this time the brand has passed hands among various organizations, including Kentucky Bourbon Distillers (aka Willett), and currently being owned by Corner Creek Distillery Co. located in Crestwood, Kentucky. One thing has been consistent throughout the brand’s life, it has never been disclosed where the bourbon is sourced from. For the majority of the brand’s life, it has only sold as a no age statement (NAS) bourbon. This changed with the introduction of the non-chill filtered Corner Creek 10 Year.
