What if the end of your life was today&mdash;would it matter how you lived? In this gripping and raw reflection, &ldquo;Final Goal&rdquo; confronts the ultimate truth: you are going to die. And that&rsquo;s not a threat&mdash;it&rsquo;s a wake-up call. 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. The real question isn&rsquo;t just when you&rsquo;ll die&mdash;but who you&rsquo;re living for. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Why a Charismatic Evangelical Became a Catholic Priest

In this episode, Mario Costabile sits down with&nbsp;Father Wayne Sattler who shares the quiet wisdom on prayer born from six years in solitude, guided by the writings of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila. In this conversation, he invites us to discover how true contemplative prayer begins not with what we do—but with what God does in us. -Support Our Sponsors- -Support our Sponsor-<a href="https://bit.ly/3yYJZV3" target="_blank">Verbum</a> - Take Your Catholic Bible Study from Stumped to Stellar with Verbum<a href="https://bit.ly/44nYYUw" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: blue;">Scapulars.com</a>&nbsp;- Divine protection in life and in death with the most durable, comfortable scapulars ever made. ✨Be Sure to Like/Share/Subscribe/Comment @r4hpodcast - Connect with us! -Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/r4hpodcast</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/r4hpodcast</a>YouTube:&nbsp;⁨<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@R4HPodcast⁩" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@R4HPodcast⁩</a>&nbsp;Website : <a href="https://arrayofhope.org/podcast" target="_blank">https://arrayofhope.org/podcast</a> *Get Fr Wayne Sattler's Book <a href="https://sophiainstitute.com/product/and-you-will-find-rest/?srsltid=AfmBOoq9-McALbXpViCJFj5KXFSFZ-H71pc-GuN-FCsbggA7DnYjG9VE" target="_blank">HERE</a> * #Solitude #Prayer #Hermit ⏰ Timecodes ⏰00:00 Introduction 03:15 Start of Interview 04:36 Understanding Prayer: A Love Story07:37 How Strong God's Desire Is to Be In Communion With Us11:26 What is Contemplative Prayer? 15:19 Verbum 16:13 Scapulars.com17:18 Different Types of Prayer 23:36 How Do We Discern God's Voice In Prayer 33:32 Understanding the Dark Night of the Soul47:38 Practical Steps to Deepen Your Relationship with God52:26 Comparing Praying with Athletics54:43 Final Remarks

"What I Learned About Prayer From 6 YEARS in Solitude" - Fr Wayne Sattler

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?

He opens up about his personal struggles—overcoming pornography, protecting his family from real threats, and deepening his connection with God through daily prayer. But it’s his emotional breakdown that reveals something profound: his love for God runs even deeper than his love for his own kids and wife.Matt’s story is raw and real, challenging others to dive into divine intimacy and put their faith at the forefront. He reminds us that no matter what we face, nothing can strip away our love for the Lord. This is more than a testimony; it’s a call to prioritize what truly matters and fight for a life rooted in faith.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.

If you don&rsquo;t become love, you&rsquo;re missing the whole point. In Chapter Six: Love, we hit the emotional and spiritual climax of the series. Father Larry doesn&rsquo;t pull punches&mdash;he reminds us that Jesus gave just one command: Love one another as I have loved you (John 13:34). And that love isn&rsquo;t soft. It&rsquo;s the Cross. It&rsquo;s sacrifice. It&rsquo;s strength poured out. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Why Would ANYONE Want to be Catholic Right Now? Here's Why. (Larry Chapp) | Ep. 505

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

What if the deepest truth about you isn&rsquo;t your failures&mdash;but that you are loved? In &ldquo;Beloved Son,&rdquo; the most essential chapter of the book, we get a powerful reminder of our true identity&mdash;not as sinners, but as sons. This isn&rsquo;t just theory. It&rsquo;s personal, emotional, and deeply spiritual. Centered around Mark 1:11, where the Father says to Jesus, &ldquo;You are my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,&rdquo; this talk calls every man to hear those words for himself&mdash;and to believe them. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Be a Man! with Fr Larry Richards 

Anyone who leads in today’s world knows how important it is to stay in the middle.  After all if we want to have impact in our world we have to belong to it.  And yet are there times when witness is necessary?  Or at least an invitation to go deeper than our customary ways?  In the life of St. John the Baptist we have the example of someone who was extraordinarily successful in his leadership and then put it all on the line to bear witness to the truth.  In this episode we let him inspire us.

DGT Episode 306 - The Power Of A Witness - The Bold Leadership Of St. John The Baptist Part 6

Today I chat with Fr. Chris Pietraszko about the morality of eating meat.  Would you please help us do what we're doing by becoming a patron (you get lots of cool gifts in return): <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> Here's what Aquinas has to say: Whether it is unlawful to kill any living thing? Objection 1. It would seem unlawful to kill any living thing. For the Apostle says (Romans 13:2): "They that resist the ordinance of God purchase to themselves damnation [Vulgate: 'He that resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist, purchase themselves damnation.']." Now Divine providence has ordained that all living things should be preserved, according to Psalm 146:8-9, "Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains . . . Who giveth to beasts their food." Therefore it seems unlawful to take the life of any living thing. Objection 2. Further, murder is a sin because it deprives a man of life. Now life is common to all animals and plants. Hence for the same reason it is apparently a sin to slay dumb animals and plants. Objection 3. Further, in the Divine law a special punishment is not appointed save for a sin. Now a special punishment had to be inflicted, according to the Divine law, on one who killed another man's ox or sheep (Exodus 22:1). Therefore the slaying of dumb animals is a sin. On the contrary, Augustine says (De Civ. Dei i, 20): "When we hear it said, 'Thou shalt not kill,' we do not take it as referring to trees, for they have no sense, nor to irrational animals, because they have no fellowship with us. Hence it follows that the words, 'Thou shalt not kill' refer to the killing of a man." I answer that, There is no sin in using a thing for the purpose for which it is. Now the order of things is such that the imperfect are for the perfect, even as in the process of generation nature proceeds from imperfection to perfection. Hence it is that just as in the generation of a man there is first a living thing, then an animal, and lastly a man, so too things, like the plants, which merely have life, are all alike for animals, and all animals are for man. Wherefore it is not unlawful if man use plants for the good of animals, and animals for the good of man, as the Philosopher states (Polit. i, 3). Now the most necessary use would seem to consist in the fact that animals use plants, and men use animals, for food, and this cannot be done unless these be deprived of life: wherefore it is lawful both to take life from plants for the use of animals, and from animals for the use of men. On fact this is in keeping with the commandment of God Himself: for it is written (Genesis 1:29-30): "Behold I have given you every herb . . . and all trees . . . to be your meat, and to all beasts of the earth": and again (Genesis 9:3): "Everything that moveth and liveth shall be meat to you." Reply to Objection 1. According to the Divine ordinance the life of animals and plants is preserved not for themselves but for man. Hence, as Augustine says (De Civ. Dei i, 20), "by a most just ordinance of the Creator, both their life and their death are subject to our use." Reply to Objection 2. Dumb animals and plants are devoid of the life of reason whereby to set themselves in motion; they are moved, as it were by another, by a kind of natural impulse, a sign of which is that they are naturally enslaved and accommodated to the uses of others.

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 message is powerful and effective with young men between 13-24 years.Heroic Men is proud to partner with the Magis Center for Reason and Faith to invite men to this kickoff event for the essential series on the Catholic Faith and Science.<a href="https://storage2.snappages.site/GNDZHC/assets/files/Heroic-Men-Young-Men-Presentation-Aug-7--10.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Slides</a> | <a href="https://storage2.snappages.site/GNDZHC/assets/files/Notes-Fr-Robert-Spitzer-S.J-PH.D.-Real-E-38.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Notes</a>About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

Mother Theresa of Calcutta once said, "We cannot separate our lives from the Eucharist . . . Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life to give us life. Night and day, He is there. If you really want to grow in love, come back to the Eucharist, come back to that Adoration." Deacon Harold goes more into our Life in Christ today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 71:19-21.

In today’s episode, Bishop Barron fields questions from people all over the world, including: <ul> <li>How do we reconcile love as willing the good of the other with more exclusive love, such as the love between a husband and wife?</li> <li>Some Protestant theologians say that John 6 is not talking about transubstantiation because this dialogue took place before the institution of the Eucharist. What do you think?</li> <li>What does the Catholic Church say about predestination and free will?</li> <li>Why does God need to be worshipped and glorified, and need sacrifices? On human terms, this sounds like his love is conditional and he is insecure.</li> <li>Can dogma be changed or overthrown?</li> <li>Was Jesus a socialist?</li> <li>What are the essential qualities/qualifications needed for evangelism?

WOF 239: International Q&A w/ Bishop Barron (July 2020)

Christianity means that we belong to Christ as members of His body and that means that we extend his mission through our own body, our own space, and time.  What is the mission of Christ.  One of the reasons He says He came to this world was to seek and to save what is lost.  If we are to be faithful to our mission we need to do the same.

Verso Jobs Dot Com| Joe Dunikoski | Episode #194

The BeatiDudes welcome Garret Hines, artist, teacher, and
iconographer, for a colorful conversation that flows from camping trips and Make-A-Wish moments to the painstaking beauty of egg tempera icons.
Garret shares his journey from creative burnout to spiritual
renewal through sacred art. He explains the prayerful process behind
"writing" an icon, why traditional techniques still matter, and how
each commissioned piece becomes a custom prayer for its recipient.
Of course, it wouldn’t be The BeatiDudes without Paul Kolker, Nick
Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein detouring into Frodo jokes, Dr Pepper ice cream tastings, and Thor references. You’ll hear about the 24-karat gold halos, the theology embedded in brushstrokes, and the joy of seeing beauty draw people deeper into faith.
If you’ve ever wondered why icons are called “written” instead of
“painted,” or what happens when you mix a prayer with egg yolk and ground stone, this episode will pull back the curtain, or rather, open the window into heaven.
Highlights:
<ul>
 <li>July catch-up: RV camping, Rome adventures, Make-A-Wish magic, and bobblehead promo videos</li>
 <li>Garret's journey: from watercolor experiments to Eastern-style iconography</li>
 <li>Why each icon is a prayer in pigment, not just an image</li>
 <li>How art can help the faithful "see" scripture and the beauty of the faith</li>
</ul>

Episode 1 - Jesus reveals the sobering reality of His Second Coming - Sunday Mass Prep - November 27, 2022 - Mt 24:37-44

This is a special two-part episode of Pints with Aquinas. Part 1: I discuss 10 things that people miss about what Aquinas has to say about God and Atheism. Part 2: I read from a short story I wrote about a Christian and an Atheist, titled "A Shuttered Universe," in which the Christian becomes and Atheist, and the Atheist becomes a Christian and their correspondence back and forth.

God and Atheism

Create Deep Connections&mdash;it sounds simple, but most of us never learned how. In this fast, powerful video, discover the small, high-impact habits that can transform the way you connect with others&mdash;at work, at home, and everywhere in between. You'll learn why people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care, and why building meaningful relationships is the single biggest predictor of happiness and health&mdash;even more than wealth or fame. We&rsquo;ll cover how to show appreciation in every interaction, the two feedback questions that build trust, and why taking the first step before you need the relationship is the real secret to success. If you're ready to strengthen your leadership, deepen your personal connections, and live a longer, healthier life, this is your starting point.

It’s been over 35 years since the abortion and 15 years since he was forgiven in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, but now we dare ask Jeff the question, “Have you forgiven yourself.” Still in the process of healing, Jeff describes when he knows the process will be complete.

Episode 5: Unforgiveness

&quot;I believe the Lord has a raging fire spirit in Him. God the Father is this kind of passionate God.&quot; Join us for a profound conversation with Matthew Pinto, founder of Ascension Press, as we dive deep into the intersection of Catholic faith and entrepreneurship. Matthew shares his inspiring journey of how embracing his faith transformed him from a young entrepreneur into a leading figure in Catholic publishing and media.Our discussion covers:<ul><li>The unique challenges and rewards of building successful ventures within the Catholic ecosystem.</li><li>How Matthew’s early entrepreneurial experiences and family background shaped his innovative mindset.</li><li>His transformative conversion journey ignited by evangelical evangelization, leading to a profound commitment to the Catholic faith.</li><li>Why integrating secular skills into church initiatives can initially feel jarring but ultimately be incredibly fruitful.</li><li>The importance of risk-taking, passion, and prudent boldness in Catholic entrepreneurship.</li><li>Practical lessons Matthew learned while growing Ascension Press from a single book project to a globally recognized Catholic publisher.</li><li>Essential spiritual safeguards Matthew recommends, such as consecration, tithing, regular confession, and cultivating a generous spirit.</li><li>Why Matthew emphasizes maintaining a balance between work, family, physical health, and spiritual well-being.</li></ul>Matthew candidly shares insights into common entrepreneurial pitfalls, such as neglecting personal well-being, failing to celebrate wins, and undervaluing strategic leverage. He explains the concept of &quot;booze, bingo, and dancing&quot; to illustrate Catholicism&#39;s confident and balanced approach to engaging with the secular world without compromising faith.Whether you&#39;re building a Catholic venture, wrestling with workplace ethics, or discerning how to authentically live your faith through your career, Matthew&#39;s wisdom offers essential guidance for aligning professional ambition with eternal values.Resources:<ul><li>The Genesis Group: <a href="https://catholicfund.com/">https://catholicfund.com</a></li><li>Catholic Catalyst: <a href="https://catholiccatalyst.com/">https://catholiccatalyst.com</a></li></ul>We want to hear from you!

So, what makes you happy? A good meal? Winning a game? Getting more likes, views, and upvotes? Making the top 10% of your class and getting into the best colleges? Each of these examples are good. But is there anything beyond these forms of happiness, a form of happiness which could be more pervasive, enduring, deep?In this episode you will learn that ...■ There are four major kinds of desire: the desire for sensual pleasure, the desire to get ahead over others, the desire to help others, and the desire for the transcendent.■ When our desires are satisfied, we feel corresponding levels of happiness.■ Sensual pleasure is fleeting, and a focus only on ego-comparative desires traps us in a comparison game.■ The human capacity for empathy and conscience forms the basis for contributive-empathetic desires and the happiness we feel when we make a positive difference to someone or something beyond ourselves.■ Even if we live a completely contributive-empathetic life, we will still experience a desire for the transcendental.■ Our four fundamental desires exist in us, whether we acknowledge them or not. It is important to let the higher levels take a lead role in our lives and keep the lower levels in their proper place, as a means to the end of a fully lived life.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

Fr. Nigel Mumford On Healing and Deliverance

Friends, do not miss this episode. In its entirety. ---Michele Gower was raised in a loving, middle-class family in Sydney, Australia. Though baptized in the Church of England, religion played little role in her early life. Her parents were kind, community-oriented people but had no strong religious beliefs. As a teenager, she chased popularity, partied on weekends, dabbled in light drugs, and barely got by in school. Yet she remained active in sports, volunteered, and was known as a loyal friend. At 17, she met Rohan—a respectful, calm young man whose peaceful nature stood out. The following year, her life shattered when her father died suddenly of a heart attack the morning after her graduation. From that moment, she rejected the idea of a loving God, asking bitterly, “What kind of God would take a father from his daughter on her graduation day?”As adulthood unfolded, she and Rohan got married, had four children, and settled into a life on the Central Coast. Though she had no faith, she supported the decision to send their children to Catholic school. Her husband had been raised Catholic, and she assumed he could guide them spiritually. Over time, she began to feel strangely moved during school Masses. Often, she would sit in church and cry without understanding why. While she appreciated the values of kindness and service taught in the Catholic school, she was simultaneously diving deeper into New Age spirituality—tarot, clairvoyants, energy healing, and a fascination with the supernatural. The more she pursued these practices, the more her connection to reality began to fray.Eventually, she experienced a complete breakdown. Voices, paranoia, terrifying visions, and a crushing emptiness took over her mind. Admitted to a mental health facility, she was heavily medicated and nearly unrecognizable to her loved ones. But one day, sitting alone by a locked glass door, she felt an overwhelming warmth fill her chest—a powerful, soul-filling explosion of light. In that moment, she heard a message in her heart: “Convert to the Catholic Faith, and you and your family will be saved.” Though she didn’t fully understand it, that moment marked a turning point. She began to believe that God was real—and that He was reaching out to her in mercy.The weeks leading up to her reception into the Church were filled with intense spiritual battles. Demonic attacks, confusion, and despair tried to derail her. But friends who understood the dangers of the occult prayed with her, taught her to say the Rosary, and reminded her that God never lets go of His children. Through Confession and the Eucharist, she began to heal. The torment in her mind lifted, layer by layer. She experienced true peace for the first time in her life—peace that surpassed all understanding. Slowly, the angry, obsessive, controlling version of herself faded, replaced by someone more joyful, grounded, and free...#CatholicConversion #ExNewAge #JesusSavedMe #SpiritualWarfare #DeliveredFromDarkness #FromNewAgeToJesus #CatholicTestimony #OccultToChrist #EucharisticHealing #LeavingTheOccult #ChristianTestimony #FreedomInChrist #Catholic #CatholicFaithJourney #AmazingGrace▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

Psych Ward. Possessed. Redeemed. | A Catholic Conversion Story

Buckle up, buttercup – we're going 4K with portfolio management legend Jerry Sullivan! This week, the BeatiDudes sit down with the man who runs the #1 performing mutual fund out of over 650 competitors (yes, you read that right). But don't worry, Jerry's humility is thicker than his Boston accent.
 
From taking calls on live TV shows like CNBC's Squawk Box to learning the ropes under the legendary Peter Lynch at Fidelity, Jerry shares the "scrappy" investment philosophy that's made him a Wall Street standout. Spoiler alert: it's not about being the smartest guy in the room – it's about being the hungriest.
 
But this isn't just another finance bro flexing his portfolio returns. Jerry opens up about his journey from a Brooklyn baptism at St. Ephraim Church (which his grandfather helped build!) to finding his calling through Opus Dei in college. We dive deep into how his Irish mother's fearless faith – jumping on a boat at 20 to cross the ocean with nothing but grit - shaped his approach to both investing and living.
 
The BeatiDudes explore Jerry's daily commitment to Mass, his monthly men's group in Boston's financial district (complete with coffee, crumpets, and Christ), and how sanctifying your work life isn't just spiritual fluff – it might actually make you better at your job. Who knew holiness and hedge funds could go hand in hand?
 
Plus, we get treated to Jerry's Irish prayers, hear about the time Peter Lynch bought millions in European stocks based on Jerry's summer research, and discover why the hungriest candidates always beat the smartest ones. Oh, and Jeff attempts to speak "Hollish" in our game segment – you'll have to hear it to believe it.
 
This is religious fraternity meets financial wisdom, with just enough Irish blessing to keep things interesting. See you at the old Barney Stone with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein.

How should we respond when the culture becomes inhospitable if not actively hostile to Christian values? Sadly, biblical and natural law points of view are unwelcome now in many of the institutions that constitute the core of our society, including corporations, public schools, higher education, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, the legacy media, and even government entities themselves. What can Christians do to resist persecution by these secular powerhouses? How can we understand what it means to resist those who undermine Christians in light of Christ’s command to love our enemies?

WOF 457: How to Resist Anti-Christian Bigotry

What if being a hero wasn’t about being strong—but about being willing?Here’s how Sean Lynn went from chasing justice on the streets to confronting his own brokenness. After 33 years as a cop, he’d seen it all—addiction, violence, human trafficking. He was the guy who showed up, who took the hits, who delivered the worst news a parent could hear. But carrying that weight quietly almost crushed him.Everything shifted when Sean realized this wasn’t just a job—it was a vocation. A calling to serve not just with force, but with faith. That shift reframed every painful moment and revealed a God who was present in every scene, even the darkest ones.This is how Sean found peace—not by numbing out or powering through, but by connecting with other men, reclaiming quiet acts of heroism, and learning that God didn’t call him to be perfect. Just faithful.Join the Heroic Brotherhood: Our only community: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/brotherhood">https://heroicmen.org/brotherhood</a>Pay it forward: Join the Heroic Alliance: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/alliance">https://heroicmen.org/alliance</a>

During his nine years of active duty, Conor’s dating life turned into an engagement, marriage, and parenthood. He shares his appreciation for the support that service members receive while also acknowledging the silent sacrifice that military families endure behind the scenes. Conor closes the show by sharing his view of marriage and fatherhood by comparing the guardian role of a man to that of a sheepdog.

NAVY SEAL Anointed and Sealed in the Holy Spirit | Conor Donahue | Episode #127

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/

Episode 229 - Jesus promises happiness to the righteous and warns of woes to the unrighteous - Sunday February 16, 2025 - Lk 6:17, 20-26

It goes without saying that those in leadership want to lead well, but what are the elements that make a leadership effective, good, and even pleasing to God.  Without a doubt St. Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologica gives us some valuable insights when he talks about how God leads the world.  If our leadership could be patterned on God’s we’d be sure to be doing something right.  In this second of my six part series, I focus on how good leadership makes the people who follow us more fulfilled in who they are.

Manhood

Father Paul-Michael Piega proves that you can simultaneously be a BeatiDude and a thriving young priest. Fr. Piega joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for a dynamic dialogue that details his discernment while displaying the hallmark fraternity of the BeatiDudes. Fr. Piega was born in Queens, New York, and lived there from the age of eight until he and his family moved to Texas. After graduating from Rowlett High School, Fr. Piega pursued pre-medical studies at Texas A&amp;M University, where he initially began with a major in Biology. After a deep reversion experience in his sophomore year by attending a silent retreat during spring break, he fell back in love with his Catholic faith. He began to discern a vocation towards the priesthood. Fr. Piega graduated from Texas A&amp;M University with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Business Administration, where shortly thereafter he entered the seminary. He is an alumnus of St. Joseph Seminary College in St. Benedict, Louisiana, and the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, Italy, where he received a Bachelors in Philosophy and Theology respectively. He then studied at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross and acquired a licentiate degree in the Sacred Liturgy and also studied at the Pontifical North American College in Rome.Father Piega is an ordained priest and is in service to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Austin, Texas. He is the Pastor of St. Patrick Catholic Church and is currently serving as a Diocesan Master of Ceremonies, is a member of the Diocesan Liturgical Commission, serves on the Diocese of Austin Vocation Team, is a member of the Diocesan Catholic School Advisory Board, provides talks, conferences and speaking events, and lastly enjoys building with Lego bricks!<h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://www.corexpeditions.org/upcoming-trips">COR Expeditions - Upcoming Trips</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a> BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a> <a href="https://www.davemooremusic.com/">Dave Moore Music</a>

Formative, Fun-Loving, Fighting Texas Aggie Priest | Fr. Paul-Michael Piega | Episode #219

<a href= "http://www.PintsWithAquinas.com">www.PintsWithAquinas.com</a> Here's the article I read in the show: <a href= "http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/01/31/saint-thomas-aquinas-opposed-open-borders/">http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/01/31/saint-thomas-aquinas-opposed-open-borders/</a> Here's the link to the closed FB group: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/193832791087931/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/193832791087931/</a> The Catechism: Here's what the Catechism of the Catholic Church has to say about welcoming foreigners: "The more prosperous nations are obliged, to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of the security and the means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin. Public authorities should see to it that the natural right is respected that places a guest under the protection of those who receive him. Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants' duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens" 2241. The Summa Here's what I read from Thomas: "Man's relations with foreigners are twofold: peaceful, and hostile: and in directing both kinds of relation the Law contained suitable precepts. For the Jews were offered three opportunities of peaceful relations with foreigners. First, when foreigners passed through their land as travelers. Secondly, when they came to dwell in their land as newcomers. And in both these respects the Law made kind provision in its precepts: for it is written (Exodus 22:21): "Thou shalt not molest a stranger [advenam]"; and again (Exodus 22:9): "Thou shalt not molest a stranger [peregrino]." Thirdly, when any foreigners wished to be admitted entirely to their fellowship and mode of worship. With regard to these a certain order was observed. For they were not at once admitted to citizenship: just as it was law with some nations that no one was deemed a citizen except after two or three generations, as the Philosopher says (Polit. iii, 1). The reason for this was that if foreigners were allowed to meddle with the affairs of a nation as soon as they settled down in its midst, many dangers might occur, since the foreigners not yet having the common good firmly at heart might attempt something hurtful to the people. Hence it was that the Law prescribed in respect of certain nations that had close relations with the Jews (viz., the Egyptians among whom they were born and educated, and the Idumeans, the children of Esau, Jacob's brother), that they should be admitted to the fellowship of the people after the third generation; whereas others (with whom their relations had been hostile, such as the Ammonites and Moabites) were never to be admitted to citizenship; while the Amalekites, who were yet more hostile to them, and had no fellowship of kindred with them, were to be held as foes in perpetuity: for it is written (Exodus 17:16): "The war of the Lord shall be against Amalec from generation to generation."

Who Will Be Saved? w/ Dr. Ralph Martin

Most men are living with a broken sense of identity, stuck trying to prove their worth through titles, achievements, or fighting off past failures. Father John Riccardo cuts through the noise with a powerful truth: your worth isn’t earned—it’s a gift. He breaks down how the devil works like a Navy SEAL, isolating and crushing you with lies about your value, and shows you how to fight back by anchoring yourself in God’s love. Using personal stories and actionable strategies like praying with Romans 8 and Galatians 4, he challenges you to ask Jesus directly, “Who do you say I am?”—and find freedom in the answer. If you’re ready to stop performing and start living as the man God created you to be, this is your moment.Fr. John Riccardo, missionary and ACTS XXIX Executive Director. He was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Detroit in 1996. In 2019, after 23 years in parish ministry, he founded Acts XXIX to proclaim the gospel in an attractive and compelling way and to equip clergy and lay leaders for the age in which God has chosen us to live. Fr. John is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the Gregorian University, and the Pope John Paul I Institute for Studies on Marriage and the Family. Learn more about ACTS XXIX at actsxxix.org

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.

Into the Breach – Episode 5: Family

Ever a professional, the dandy-dressed Stephen Henley joins the BeatiDudes, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein, to talk about the journey of his life on the way to becoming the president of Legatus. Stephen spent two and a half years discerning the priesthood with the Legionaries of Christ, where he wrote his vocation story – aptly titled, God’s Marine. After discerning out of the seminar, the military theme continued, and Stephen joined the Marine Corps. During his time in the reserves, Stephen ended up in Florida, which proved to be an essential stop in his journey. Not only did he meet his wife during his time in the Sunshine State, but he also started his professional career by working at Ave Maria University. Like Legatus, Ave Maria was also started by Catholic business hero Tom Monaghan. Tom Monaghan founded Domino’s Pizza after being raised in orphanages and accidentally joining the Marine Corps. With much business and professional success, Tom searched for a place for executives to gather for Christ. After an impactful encounter with Saint Pope John Paul II, Tom was inspired to launch Legatus. In Latin, Legatus means ambassador, and that is exactly what Tom was promoting for Presidents, CEOs, and their spouses to become - Ambassadors for God. Stephen’s working relationship with Tom stemmed from a period when Tom required a driver while recovering from wrist surgery. Twenty years later, Stephen is now the President of Legatus. Legatus has 90 chapters across North America and is continuing to expand with new, more domestic and international chapters on the horizon.

Father’s Loving Care | Mitch Boersma | Episode #138

In our first interview, Brett sits down with Carey Nieuwhof who has been a pastor, teacher, & leadership guru for many years. They discuss God’s calling to change careers & fighting against simply going through the motions. They also discuss what the Church can learn from her own response to the pandemic in retrospect. We may have adapted to meet the new challenges, but did we really innovate? This includes a discussion on the politicization of the Church. To close the conversation, they discuss burnout; when the functions of life continue but the joy of life is gone. Carey shares his personal story of dealing with extreme burnout, how he recovered from it & how you can avoid it.

Battling Burnout w/ Carey Nieuwhof

"How to Save a Life" is a powerful documentary that follows the journey of two young University of Tampa students faced with a life-altering decision after receiving a positive pregnancy test. While their friends and most of their family expected them to prioritize their future over the life of their unborn child, everything changed after they heard a speaker share his emotional story of lost fatherhood and the redemptive power of God&rsquo;s unconditional love and mercy.
Inspired by his testimony, they made the courageous decision to bring their daughter into the world. Their story is a message of hope for the Millennial &amp; Gen Z generations&mdash;one that speaks to faith, sacrifice, and the beauty of choosing life.

From Radio to Emmy-Winning Films w/ Rob Kaczmark

Leading our families and leading our businesses entails taking our people to places that are new.  When we do that conflict almost always ensues.  New ideas, new relationships force us to confront old ways of thinking and bring about change.  A lot of people don’t like that.  St. Paul the apostle also dealt with conflict – and here is how he overcame it.
