“It creates a more sacred space. And it draws your attention to the sacred. It sets apart the sanctuary.” Deacon Harold talks about this as he discusses the Beauty and Reverence at Mass. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 48:13-15

Beauty and Reverence at Mass

Discover

In a recent talk, Bishop Barron presented on the importance of not dumbing down the faith as we engage in religious education. Young people enjoy asking about and discussing the big questions, from God's existence, to how to be a good and moral person, to the problem of suffering. A disconnect takes place when we meet these intellectual questions with watered-down catechesis. Instead, we must remember the central teachings of Christianity. We must present the fullness of truth, the reality of the Incarnation, and the good news of grace.

<h2>About our topic: </h2>
Brandon Sheard&#8217;s company, Farmstead Meatsmith, is the only abattoir, butchery, and educational operation of their kind in the country.
He generally harvests for small family farmers who raise a couple of pigs, a few sheep or a flock of various poultry for their own household.  Think very small scale. The animals never leave the land they know, he uses peaceful and humane kill methods specific to each animal’s nature, and he offers every part of every animal back to the farmer.
Unlike many processors, he doesn’t know the meaning of trim.  Well, he does, but that is why he doesn&#8217;t do it.  He makes sure the quality fat you meant for your animal to have, stays there.  Consequently, you will get all your meat back.  And by that, he means 100% of hanging weight.  The standard industry procedure is to dispose of as much as 50% of hanging weight.
Currently he reaches farms in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.  A handful of farmers and associations have flown Brandon to the east coast, the midwest and the UK.
Because the dinner table is where the rubber meets the road, particularly with unfamiliar cuts, innards and extremities, Brandon makes himself available for advice long after he leaves your farm.
<h3>About our guest:</h3>
Brandon and Lauren met in the spring of 2007 in southern California while finishing up their graduate degrees; Brandon in Renaissance English Literature, Lauren in Religion and Theology. They dated that summer and fall, introducing each other to Kierkegaard, Milton and de Lubac and by Christmas of that year, were engaged. On the very date of their engagement they were introduced to a home-building project on Vashon, where Brandon’s parents had just migrated to from Ventura County (where Brandon grew up), and they made the move to the Island the following February. They were married June of 2008, when Brandon simultaneously left his job at Whole Foods in the supplement department, in search of more rural work closer to home.
A month later, Brandon was hired by <a href="http://www.seabreezefarm.net/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sea Breeze Farm</a> on Vashon Island. There he was introduced to the arts of small scale animal husbandry, abattoir, butchery and charcuterie and worked there from August 2008-August 2010. After one year on the farm and managing markets, Brandon transitioned to <a href="http://www.seabreezefarm.net/la_boucherie.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">la Boucherie</a>, their restaurant and butcher shop, as head butcher and charcutier. While pregnant with their first child, Lauren helped Brandon in the shop by wrapping meat late into the night before market days, reading various culinary books on the shelves and taste testing recipes (and house made wine) at mid- work day lunches.
As their family expanded (John Luke was on the way), in the fall of 2010 Lauren and Brandon created Farmstead Meatsmith. They work well as a team; Brandon on the front lines of farmers’ fields, butcher blocks and home larders, and Lauren as the accountant, scheduler and professional washer of greasy cutting boards. They both are visionaries for the business and, above all, love witnessing good food brings people together.

Meatsmithery 101 with Brandon Sheard

Kyle Washut is the youngest Catholic president at the youngest Catholic college in America. Kyle, President at Wyoming Catholic College (WCC), joins The BeatiDudes for an adventurous episode full of surprises, including the unique approach that WCC takes to educating and forming its students. WCC is a “great books school” where every student starts their freshmen year by spending several weeks in the wilderness. They all receive the same degree, a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts. In addition to spending a semester on horseback, the entire student body memorizes a repertoire of poems and songs that unite them in the classroom and around the campfire. Kyle, a Wyoming native, has been with WCC since its inception. Growing up in Casper, Wyoming, he worked in nuclear missile silos and coal mines during his teenage years, receiving an AA in Political Science and a second in Spanish from Casper College in 2003. While in Casper, he studied under two of WCC’s eventual founders, Dr. Robert Carlson and Fr. Robert Cook. He began his journey toward Wyoming Catholic by serving as a dishwasher at the annual Wyoming School for Catholic Thought, where the idea for the College was first proposed.He graduated from Thomas Aquinas College in 2007 with a B.A. in Liberal Arts and returned to Wyoming (and Wyoming Catholic) as the inaugural Assistant Dean for Student Life—a position he held until departing in the Fall of 2009 to pursue a graduate degree in Sacred Theology from Austria’s International Theological Institute (ITI). While in Austria, he continued to work for the College, coordinating its inaugural high-school (PEAK) and adult education (WSCT) summer programs, before returning as a full-time professor in early 2012. Washut has taught across the College’s curriculum since his return—theology and philosophy, as well as her distinctive Trivium and Humanities courses. In addition to serving as Visiting Associate Professor of Patristics and Ecclesiastical History at St. Cyril and Methodius Byzantine Catholic Seminary in Pittsburgh, he has worked closely with a number of the College’s Administrative offices, including Admissions, Advancement, and the Outdoor Leadership Program (OLP). In the Fall of 2019, he was named Academic Dean and served in that capacity for four years before being named President in August 2023.On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a shop-a-holic to address the prompt, “I would be the patron saint of _______.” The TBD question of the day – share a story or memory about your grandfather. For this episode of Reverse Simpsons, Kyle and the hosts enjoy various strange drinks and finish the show by promoting the surprise drink they consumed.

<div></div>
<div>

There’s a common thread among thousands of formerly sinful people we now call Saints.

They had a relationship with God.

Which then inspired them to ‘set the world on fire’ as Catherine of Sienna put it.

But, more specifically, it meant they put in the time.

They sat with the Lord. Spoke with Him. Listened to Him.

Daily.

They unveiled their hearts and wounds and problems to Him.

They offered him thanks and gratitude.

They left their sufferings with Him on the altar.

They begged for His help.

My question to you: are you putting in the time?

I’m not talking about time to just talk at Him or sit in church making a mental grocery list. I’m talking about time to build a consistent, honest relationship. Time to speak, and time to listen.

Whether you want to pray a daily holy hour or hit up adoration once a week, I have a guide here from the makers of Exodus 90 specifically about praying a Holy Hour.

Inside, you’ll find a simple breakdown that shows you how to structure your time with the Lord.

Ep 7: Who Are You? Your Identity as a Protector and Provider

What if your biggest spiritual problem isn&rsquo;t sin&mdash;but pride? In &ldquo;Repentance,&rdquo; Chapter Three of the series, we&rsquo;re confronted with the brutal truth: men love to be in control, and sin is just doing it our way instead of God&rsquo;s. But this chapter is more than just a guilt trip. It&rsquo;s a roadmap for spiritual victory. We don&rsquo;t repent to earn God&rsquo;s love&mdash;we repent because we&rsquo;re already loved, and we&rsquo;re finally ready to trust Him. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Chapter 3: Repent

This no-nonsense, gut-punching, soul-waking series is a firestarter for any man ready to stop drifting and start living with holy purpose. With raw humor, spiritual grit, and deeply personal stories, Father Larry Richards challenges Catholic men to step into their true identity&mdash;not just as believers, but as beloved sons, courageous warriors, and men of God.
Each chapter dismantles modern passivity and spiritual lukewarmness, calling men to deeper prayer, unshakable discipline, real repentance, and radical love. From embracing the Father&rsquo;s love to breaking free from sin, living by the Spirit, and becoming a servant leader at home and in the world&mdash;this series gives men the spiritual playbook they&rsquo;ve been craving.
If you&rsquo;ve ever wrestled with anger, lust, weakness, pride, or purpose, you&rsquo;re not alone&mdash;and this series is your training ground. Get ready to be challenged, inspired, and transformed. It&rsquo;s time to be the man you were created to be.

Be a Man! with Fr Larry Richards 

James Chapter One tells us to be doers of The Word, not just hearers. Listen to Gerald Montpetit tell us about how the Word of God, while attending a Protestant youth group, led him into the life of ministry that he has journeyed through ever since. After graduating from a Catholic Bible School, Gerald and his wife, Denise, put their faith into action by developing a program to reach and teach children about the faith through music.
Find out how the Montpetit Family became the Cat Chat Family and hear about their many adventures of bringing the faith to life through their ministry that continues to this day.

Holy Name of Mary, Winged Hussars, Battle of Vienna, and 9/11 (REPLAY)

Today we talk to our Lord's words, "let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid." And we see what Thomas Aquinas has to say on the matter. Also, here's the prayer I wanted to share with you. Father, I give you thanks, for you have qualified me to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. You have delivered me from the dominion of darkness and transferred me to the kingdom of your beloved Son in whom I have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. You are the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. By you all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through you and for you. And you are before all things, and in you all things hold together. You are the head of the body, the church. You are the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything you might be preeminent. For in you all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through you all things have been reconciled, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of your cross. And though I was once alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, you have now reconciled in your body of flesh by your death, in order to present me holy and blameless and above reproach before you.

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled | Bible Study W/ Aquinas

As Lent begins, Deacon Bob and Father Dave turn to the Gospel of Luke and the image of Jesus being led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit. From fasting and temptation to spiritual dryness and surrender, the hosts reflect on how the desert becomes a sacred space of encounter and transformation. 
This week’s episode moves from the spiritual to the political, as Father Dave shares his experience at the Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., and the launch of Franciscan’s Homeland Mission Program. Then, shifting gears, the episode dives into the controversial press conference between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, with reflections on humility, diplomacy, justice, and how Catholics can engage a divided political world without losing heart. 
Sprinkled in—as always—are the laughs: a breakdown of the NFL’s “tush push,” Cavaliers comebacks, the rise of phone booth boxing, and a surprising story about wrestling in a former church. 
As Lent invites us deeper into prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, this episode ends with a moving reflection on the Gospel and a reminder that even in our own deserts, the Spirit leads and God is present. 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Fasting, Cheeseburgers, and the Age of Exemption  
Father Dave reflects humorously on turning 60 and technically being <a href='https://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/liturgical-year-and-calendar/lent/catholic-information-on-lenten-fast-and-abstinence'>exempt from fasting</a>—though he still chooses to fast as a spiritual discipline. Deacon Bob playfully insists that doing what you don’t have to do is what makes it truly holy. 
(01:57) NFL Tush Push, Cavaliers Comebacks, and Sports Surprises  
The hosts dive into the NFL's controversial "<a href='https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/what-is-the-tush-push-how-eagles-execute-the-play-why-they-run-it-so-well-and-how-other-teams-fare/'>tush push</a>" play and debate whether it should be banned. They also celebrate the <a href='https://www.nba.com/cavaliers/'>Cleveland Cavaliers’</a> incredible comeback wins and share thoughts on how grit and teamwork shape great sports moments. 
(04:44) Phone Booth Boxing and Wrestling in Church?  
From <a href='https://sidekickboxing.co.uk/what-is-phone-booth-boxing/'>Romania’s newest combat sport</a> to a church-turned-MMA arena, the episode takes an absurd but entertaining detour. The discussion sparks deeper questions about sacred spaces and cultural trends that blur the lines between worship and spectacle. 
(06:10) Evangelization on the Road: Faith-Filled Uber Rides  
Bob and Father Dave share stories of surprising spiritual conversations with Uber drivers that opened doors to talk about faith, suffering, and the Trinity. These everyday moments reveal how simple encounters can become <a href='https://www.usccb.org/committees/evangelization-catechesis/evangelization'>grace-filled opportunities for evangelization</a>. 
(08:10) Franciscan in D.C.: Homeland Mission and Catholic Prayer Breakfast  
Father Dave describes the launch of <a href='https://franciscan.edu/homeland-mission/'>Franciscan’s Homeland Mission Program</a>, aimed at giving students faith-integrated experiences in public service. He also recounts the beauty and depth of the <a href='https://catholicprayerbreakfast.com/'>Catholic Prayer Breakfast</a>, including his encounter with JD Vance and a moving moment of public prayer. 
(11:29) Zelensky, Trump, and a Press Conference That Shook D.C.  
In one of the most talked-about political moments of the week, the hosts break down the <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajxSWocbye8'>tense exchange between Zelensky, Trump, and JD Vance</a>. The conversation opens up complex questions about justice, diplomacy, war, and how Catholics can engage with humility and integrity. 
(28:42) Into the Desert: Jesus’ Temptation and Our Lenten Journey  
Drawing from <a href='https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/4'>Luke 4</a>, the hosts reflect on Jesus’ hunger, vulnerability, and spiritual strength in the desert. They invite listeners to embrace Lent not as a burden, but as an opportunity to be led by the Spirit into a place of deeper encounter with God.

Into the Desert

What happens when the world’s top golfer says faith—not golf—is his top priority? 
Father Dave and Deacon Bob kick off this episode with that headline-grabbing story, plus summer sports updates, movie reviews, and a powerful look at how God is moving through this year’s youth conferences. 
They cover everything from the MLB All-Star Game and Father Dave’s baseball “betrayal” (attending games without Bob) to a heartfelt reflection on Scottie Scheffler’s British Open win—and why his grounded priorities made bigger headlines than his major win. Father Dave also reviews the new Superman movie, featuring Krypto the Superdog, while Deacon Bob tries to catch up on Fantastic Four before heading overseas. 
But the heart of the episode is ministry: stories from Steubenville Youth Conferences where teens received the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and lives were changed through the theme “Consumed.” Father Dave shares insights from a friars’ retreat on hope as a spiritual discipline, while Bob prepares for a whirlwind ministry tour in the Philippines, Australia, and beyond (with protein bars and peanut butter in tow). 
Naturally, there are tangents galore: a drone demo gone off-script, global food fears, and a preview of Franciscan’s upcoming Christ the King Chapel dedication. But through it all, the message is clear: Hope doesn’t disappoint—it transforms. 

 

Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Summer Break, Baseball, and All-Star Highlights  
The guys ease back into the podcast after a month off with <a href='https://www.mlb.com/news/2025-mlb-all-star-game-highlights'>All-Star Game highlights</a>, reflections on the Tigers’ surprising run, and a lament over Father Dave attending games without Bob. They also touch on rising stars like Paul Skenes, who started for the National League, and celebrate the return of players wearing their own uniforms. 
(05:10) Scheffler’s Priorities and Superpowered Blockbusters  
<a href='https://www.christianpost.com/news/scottie-scheffler-says-faith-family-are-most-important-to-him.html'>Scottie Scheffler wins the British Open, but stuns the media by saying golf is third in his life after faith and family</a>. The guys reflect on identity, ambition, and what really matters. Father Dave also reviews <a href='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5950044/'>Superman</a> (yes, Krypto the dog steals the show), while Bob desperately hopes he can catch <a href='https://www.marvel.com/movies/the-fantastic-four-first-steps'>Fantastic Four</a> while on the road. 
(11:30) Faith Under Fire  
They highlight Father Dave’s recent <a href='https://faithandreason.com/episodes/in-person-with-nina-shea/'>In Person interview with Nina Shea</a>, who shares sobering insights on Christian persecution across the globe—from Nigeria to China—and what it means to witness to hope in the face of violence and fear. 
(13:17) Youth Conferences: Confessions, Vocations, and Conversions  
From Halifax to Springfield, <a href='https://steubenvilleconferences.com/youth-conferences/'>this summer’s Steubenville Conferences</a> have been full of grace. Thousands of confessions. Vocational calls answered. And in St. Louis alone, 20 teens stepped forward expressing their desire to come more fully into the Church. 
(23:56) A World Tour, a Friars’ Retreat, and Acts of Hope  
Bob prepares to minister across the globe, while Father Dave shares a takeaway from the friars’ retreat: hope is an action—choosing to lean into God, especially when life feels uncertain. 
(28:24) Chapel Countdown and a Drone in the Studio  
They preview Franciscan’s upcoming chapel dedication, celebrate milestones, and attempt a live drone demo (with expected results). The episode closes with prayer for those struggling to hold onto hope.

An album of epic music with deep, manly voices, created to help the men of Heroic Men learn prayers through bold, memorable songs. | <a href="https://samply.app/p/y7hxR9NsTAFZW4fFuLtM?si=VzKNZx8FbVP1oQFod0bPxQG3dQp1">Download these songs free</a> |&nbsp;Think war chants, monks in thunderous prayer, knights marching toward battle. This is a celebration of the divine masculinity of God, and of the goodness found in strength, focus, power, and the raw muscle and bone of the God-Man Jesus, who spent thirty years in hard labor before beginning His ministry.
Songs to awaken something fierce in men's chest, and restore the glory of being a man, fully alive.
This collection of concept music was commissioned and generated by Dominic de Souza.

Guarding Our Children from Romanticism

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob talk about Mikaela Shiffrin (a USA alpine skier who just broke a record), journalism in a post-truth world, sharing the faith with others, and the cure of the man born blind (John 9).

Post-Truth

The BeatiDudes - Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein - enter sacred territory with Fr. John Paul Kern, a Dominican Friar from New York City. Broadcasting once again from Catholics at the Shore, we dig deep into the heart of identity, the trials of discernment, and the peace that comes only from total surrender to God.Fr. John Paul shares his vocation story, his thoughts on monastic community, and the real cost of saying “yes” to God. It’s a conversation that swings from Notre Dame dorm-room conversions to monastery silence, from struggles with pride to joyful humility. Oh, and Jeff totally forgets what question he was asking (again).Highlights:• “A priest’s job is to get out of the way so the faithful can encounter Christ.”• The danger of identity confusion in today’s world - and how the monastery offers clarity.• Father’s advice for men discerning: “Listen, then move. Stop chasing certainty.”Fr. John Paul’s Wisdom Drop:“The more we receive who we are from God, the less we feel the need to define it for ourselves.”<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.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>

Today Deacon Harold & Ace are sharing from the Beacon of Truth Playlist talking about the song "Hallelujah" by Lenoard Cohen.

Also looking at Soulful Psalm 135. Here's the song in case you haven't heard it: youtu.be/y8AWFf7EAc4?si=HqfLy6DVyLp8SigO

<h3><a href="http://Exodus90.com/tcms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What's your holy hour look like? </a></h3>
<div></div>
<div>There's a common thread among thousands of formerly sinful people we now call Saints.

They had a relationship with God.

Which then inspired them to 'set the world on fire' as Catherine of Sienna put it.

But, more specifically, it meant they put in the time.

They sat with the Lord. Spoke with Him. Listened to Him.

Daily.

They unveiled their hearts and wounds and problems to Him.

They offered him thanks and gratitude.

They left their sufferings with Him on the altar.

They begged for His help.

My question to you: are you putting in the time?

I'm not talking about time to just talk at Him or sit in church making a mental grocery list. I'm talking about time to build a consistent, honest relationship. Time to speak, and time to listen.

Whether you want to pray a daily holy hour or hit up adoration once a week, I have a guide here from the makers of Exodus 90 specifically about praying a Holy Hour.

Inside, you’ll find a simple breakdown that shows you how to structure your time with the Lord.

In this conversation, Dr. Greg Bottaro and Charlie Echeverry explore the intersection of psychology, Catholicism, and modern challenges such as AI and psychedelics. They discuss the evolving landscape of mental health, the impact of generational shifts on faith and community, and the importance of integrating spirituality with psychological practices. The dialogue emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of human experience, the role of media, and the potential dangers and promises of new technologies in shaping our lives and faith.<a href="https://catholicpsych.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://catholicpsych.com/</a><a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B079NK5BPZ?ccs_id=c3d41844-33ad-43c6-9105-765ca6c6120d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B079NK5BPZ?ccs_id=c3d41844-33ad-43c6-9105-765ca6c6120d</a>

The Future of Catholic Healing: AI and Psychedelics and their Impact on Therapy and Companionship | Dr. Greg Bottaro

<h3>Episode Overview</h3>David and Adam share humorous anecdotes from their chaotic home lives—mice-catching kids, runaway cows, and pig feeder mishaps—before diving into a deep discussion on spiritual growth. Drawing from Father Frederick Faber’s Growth in Holiness, they explore five practical signs of progress in the spiritual life, offering insights for men seeking to deepen their relationship with God. The episode balances lighthearted banter with profound reflections on humility, perseverance, and living intentionally for Christ.<h3>Key Discussion Points</h3>Life Updates:<ul><li>Adam recounts his son Leo’s antics, including catching mice and feeding them into traps, and opening a gate, letting a cow escape during relentless Oklahoma rain. He also shares the challenges of a kitchen remodel, leading to household disorder and a mouse infestation.</li><li>David discusses his pigs knocking over their feeder, eating through plywood, and his frustration-driven rebuild with metal siding, highlighting the manual labor woes of farm life.</li><li>Spiritual Focus: The hosts explore Father Frederick Faber’s Growth in Holiness (published by Cor Iesu Press), focusing on Chapter 1’s five signs of progress in the spiritual life. Faber, a 19th-century Oratorian and convert, offers timeless clarity on Catholic spirituality.</li><li>Contradictions in the Spiritual Life: Faber notes the spiritual life is full of contradictions due to our fallen nature, particularly the tension between knowing ourselves deeply while thinking of ourselves humbly. David challenges the modern adage that humility is “thinking about yourself less,” arguing that true humility requires rightly ordered self-reflection.</li></ul> What Not to Do:<ul><li>Don’t Ask Your Spiritual Director for Progress Reports: Faber advises against seeking your spiritual director’s judgment on your progress, as it places unfair pressure on them and risks oversimplifying complex spiritual states.</li><li>Avoid Arbitrary Benchmarks: Setting personal, artificial markers of progress can lead to disquietude, distracting from genuine growth and forfeiting graces.</li></ul> Five Signs of Spiritual Progress:<ol><li>Discontent with Your Present State: A desire to be holier, coupled with humility and gratitude for past graces, indicates progress. This discontent must avoid sloth (acedia) or unease with devotional practices.</li><li>Constant Fresh Starts: Persevering through repeated failures by recommitting to holiness (e.g., overcoming a persistent sin like pornography) is a sign of growth, reflecting perseverance.</li><li>Specific Goals in View: Actively pursuing a particular virtue, overcoming a specific fault, or adopting a penance shows intentionality, akin to a business plan for spiritual growth.</li><li>Feeling God’s Particular Call: An “attraction” to a specific fault to correct or pious work to undertake, guided by the Holy Spirit, signals progress. Not all experience this, but it’s significant when present.</li><li>General Desire for Perfection: A broad desire to be more perfect, if acted upon through prayer, penance, or zealous acts, is valuable but must be channeled into action to avoid spiritual stagnation.</li></ol> Practical Reflections:<ul><li>Adam shares his practice of writing down elements of a “good day” (waking early, praying, reading, working hard, family dinner, early bedtime) to replicate satisfying days, aligning with Faber’s call for specific goals.</li><li>David reflects on overcoming obsessive thoughts by offering gratitude to God, transforming burdens into opportunities for grace, illustrating the power of fresh starts.</li></ul> Hot Takes:<ul><li>Faber’s claim that “we must not be without fear even of forgiven sin” sparks debate. David questions fearing forgiven sins, suggesting it doubts God’s mercy, while Adam interprets it as acknowledging lingering attachments or temporal consequences requiring atonement.</li><li>Faber’s assertion that exact knowledge of our growth in grace is harmful is clarified as a caution against prideful self-assessment, emphasizing trust in God’s measurement over our own.</li></ul> <h3>Featured Beverage</h3><ul><li>Duchess de Bourgogne (Regular and Cherry): A Flemish red ale from Brouwerij Verhaeghe in West Flanders, Belgium. The regular version offers a refreshing, slightly tart complexity, while the cherry variant is overly tart and less balanced. Priced at $25 for a four-pack, it’s a rare find but best sampled if you enjoy sour beers.</li></ul> <h3>Spiritual Takeaway</h3>The spiritual life is not about mountaintop experiences or avoiding sin alone but pursuing a deeper relationship with Christ through intentional, humble efforts. Faber’s five signs encourage men to embrace discontent as a spur to holiness, persevere through fresh starts, set specific goals, respond to God’s unique call, and act on desires for perfection. By avoiding prideful self-measurement and trusting in God’s grace, we can grow in love and freedom.<h3>Call to Action</h3><ul><li>Join the Pilgrimage: Sign up for <a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com/catholicmanshow/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Catholic Man Show</a>’s pilgrimage to Italy, visiting Rome, Assisi, and the incorrupt bodies of Carlo Acutis, Saint Clare, and Saint Francis.

Colletti serves on the board of the DFW Retail Executives Association. He received a dual-degree Bachelor of Arts from The Catholic University of America and his Juris Doctor from George Washington University Law School.The show starts with the Dudes slurping up a 7-Eleven history lesson from David. Quickly, we learn that Colletti was drawn to his first job on 7-Eleven’s legal team because of the Jesus conversations he had when discussing servant leadership during his interviews. BIG MOMENT - On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a Brainiac Know-It-All to address the prompt “You know you’re Catholic when you love talking about ______.” But there is a twist - - this version of the game is worth 711 points, and the results may change the Season One scoreboard completely. On TBD, David and the Dudes answer the question of the day, “What is something that makes you mad.” And to wrap up the show with another Reverse Simpsons, the Dudes play a homegrown version of “Catch Phrase.” Nick and Paul take turns trying to get David to guess as many words or phrases as possible out of 10 possible during the one-minute and 33-second timer. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</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>

Teenage Matt, Conversion, Music, and Horror (Emma Fradd) | Ep. 481

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.

6 Big Reasons Why Young Men Leave the Faith- & 6 Big Answers with Fr Robert Spitzer

In 1960, Bill Sladek’s mom was told that she should not carry her baby to term due to her age and previous pregnancy issues. She told her doctor that “God doesn’t make mistakes” and welcomed baby Bill in June of that year.

This is a must-watch episode that reinforces the culture of life. It includes incredible stories about the mothers who made every sacrifice possible to bring Bill and Mary into the world, allowing their light to shine on many others. Bill has been a commercial real estate attorney in Dallas for 39 years and is a partner with Condon Tobin Sladek Thornton Nerenberg PLLC.

All people have inherent dignity and worth, no matter their background, ethnicity, age, sex, ability, or talent. We should care for sick people and help the needy. Common sense, right? Hardly. We tend to take these ideas for granted now, but Jesus’ teachings were truly radical at the time. In this chapter, you will explore how the message of Christianity changed the world.In this episode you will learn that ...■ The ultimate expression of Jesus’ unconditional love is His self-sacrifice at the end of His earthly mission.■ At the Last Supper Jesus instituted the Eucharist, specifying that this gift is truly His Body and Blood.■ Jesus initiated a New Covenant — a solemn binding promise between parties — in His Blood, bringing salvation to our entire human race.■ Jesus instructed the Apostles to perform the Eucharistic ritual so that He would actually be present with them when they do, anywhere on Earth, throughout history.■ Knowing and sharing God’s love and our intended destiny to be happy with Him can make the difference between a life of hope and a life of despair, especially in a world so darkened by suffering and evil.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

Sr. Wilhelmina, home altars, and wiffle ball

The things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least. The Church has the most important mission on the planet, "Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:18). The Family is the most important institution in the history of humanity, "The future of the world and the Church passes through the family" (Saint John Paul II). This podcast is a conversation about Leadership Where it Matters Most.

Leadership Where it Matters Most

A rabid bat scare taught physicist Steve Rouhana why evangelization is life-saving news. Steve is a PhD physicist with 32 years in crash safety at GM and Ford, an MA in pastoral studies, and a writer on the Rosary and on gender dysphoria (per the host's intro). We start with a rabid bat and end with how he prays each day.
In between: loving family who don't practice the faith, why he left GM over crash-safety ethics, boyhood dreams of the priesthood and the stars, and what he says after reading the research on gender dysphoria for his book, 'The King and Queen Are Naked.' <a href="https://enroutebooksandmedia.com/thekingandqueenarenaked/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get the book</a>

Jason Shanks doesn&rsquo;t just talk about transformation&mdash;he lived it. After a near-death experience with COVID-19, Shanks discovered the absolute necessity of divine intimacy with God. As a convert to Catholicism, he learned firsthand how the Holy Spirit pulls people into faith, showing that real connection with God is about relationship, not just ritual.
His battle with COVID-19 wasn&rsquo;t just physical; it was spiritual warfare. Prayer and the intercession of his community were game-changers in his recovery. Shanks dives deep into what intimacy with God really means, comparing it to the covenant of marriage and the Eucharist.&nbsp;
He challenges men to strip away the distractions of the world, embrace vulnerability, and fight for their spiritual lives. This is about building authentic relationships with God and each other&mdash;no shortcuts, no compromises.
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. Brought to you by the Catholic Men&rsquo;s Leadership Alliance, join the best of the best in leadership and training together, one all-star weekend geared to ignite, equip, and grow ministry to men.&nbsp;

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.

Family, Fight Club, & Faith: Matt Aujero's Testimony

Today we’re talking to renowned Boston College professor of philosophy Dr. Peter Kreeft about a topic we all face in our lives: suffering. In his book “Making Sense Out of Suffering,” Dr. Kreeft shares an approach that helps us find meaning and purpose during distress and hardship.

On this podcast, we learn that:

- When we suffer, God is there with us
- We cannot negotiate our suffering with God
- A loving, benevolent God creates purpose out of our suffering

Buffalo Trace Single Barrel

Ancient buffalo carved paths through the wilderness that led American pioneers and explorers to new frontiers. One such trail led to the banks of the Kentucky River where Buffalo Trace Distillery has been making bourbon whiskey the same way for more than 200 years. In tribute to the mighty buffalo and the rugged, independent spirit of the pioneers who followed them, we created our signature Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

<blockquote>
<div>March 2nd is Ash Wednesday, and over a billion people will start living different in some way. Maybe giving up chocolate or alcohol, or whatever.</div>
For a lot of Catholics, Lent is a time of finding the easiest way to “give something up”. But, at the end of those 40 days, did that sacrifice really make a difference?

This year, there’s a new opportunity out there specifically for men that will actually help you grow closer to God and become a better man.

You’ve heard me talk about Exodus 90 — but let me tell you about Exodus Lent: a 40-day journey that will challenge you to dig a little deeper this year.

If your first reaction is: “I’m absolutely not taking cold showers” well you’re in luck: men who take on the Exodus Lent get to take warm showers, drink alcohol, and — when you’re with others — watch TV and sports. But don’t be fooled, this will still be a challenging 40 days of preparation for living the Christian life, for the rest of your life.

Here’s how it works:

First — Over the 40 days of Lent, men commit to daily prayer, setting aside a minimum of 20 minutes to spend with the Lord. Each day includes a scripture reading and reflection written to help men better understand, grow in, and live virtue.

Second — More than just giving up chocolate, men take up a range of disciplines and sacrifices for the season of Lent. Sweets, snacks, social media, are all gone.

Third — Men commit to a fraternity of 5-7 men. Each week, the fraternity meets to pray together, check in, hold each other accountable and encourage one another.

On Easter Sunday, you’ll walk away with a new and lasting understanding of what it means to live the full Christian life. Chocolate bunnies and all.

Verso Jobs Dot Com| Joe Dunikoski | Episode #194

Over 83 percent of Americans still believe in miracles, but what, specifically, are miracles? What are the grounds for believing in them, especially for non-eye witnesses? In the Catholic context, who has the authority to deem an event miraculous? Should Catholics incorporate devotions to Church-approved supernatural events like apparitions of the Virgin Mary and post-Ascension appearances of Jesus Christ into their faith life? We discuss the Catholic understanding of miracles and how the miraculous fits with a comprehensive evangelical vision of the life of the Church. A listener asks if it was a sin when those healed by Jesus in the Bible told others of their miraculous healing, though Jesus had told them not to tell. 00:00 | Intro 01: 20 | Update on Winona-Rochester's new pastoral center 03: 10 | Distinguishing miracles from improbable or impossible events 06:15 | Conditions necessary for the miraculous 10:58 | The relationship between nature and grace 14:10 | How miracles are confirmed 16:44 | Science and miracles 20:09 | Miracles and the Bible 23:19 | If God's revelation is complete, why do miracles continue? 25:50 | The Vatican's recent document on apparitions 27:14 | Addressing skepticism of the miraculous 31:05 | Listener question 32:54 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: <ul> <li>Poll citation: <a href= "https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4400922-americans-ghosts-aliens-devil-survey/"> https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4400922-americans-ghosts-aliens-devil-survey/</a></li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">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">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

It's MARY's Birthday! Praise the LORD! | Mthr Natalia

Anand Bheemarasetti is a modern missionary, business entrepreneur, media specialist, and community organizer who has dedicated himself to a life of service by following the inspiration of St. Mother Theresa of Calcutta. After outfitting the BeatiDudes with traditional Indian clothing, Anand shares his story of his roots and his transition to the United States. He had moved to Nebraska and was searching for a place to fit in. He was welcomed by a family who helped to set him on the right path. He was brought into various programs at his parish and started hanging out with seminarians, too. Then, he was introduced to FOCUS through a Bible study that blew his mind. These young people were sharing faith and praying together outside of church. He also attended the FOCUS conference later that year. While meeting with his spiritual director, it became clear that Anand’s vocation would not be priesthood. Instead, he set his sights on joining FOCUS as a missionary. His first year as a missionary was spent at Bradley University, followed by Illinois State University and the University of Colorado in Boulder, before he worked in marketing at the FOCUS headquarters. At the start of FOCUS, Anand knew about the one-year rule of no dating, so he started a friendship with the young lady who would eventually become his wife. Their courtship story is a great testament to building a strong foundation and playing the long game. Anand shares the inspiration that led to his current nonprofit. He had led mission trips to India and then started a media effort to bring Catholicism to YouTube through a series called Ask a Bishop. Then he decided to make a documentary in both Calcutta and Rome during the time of Mother Theresa’s canonization. As he started editing the footage, he heard the words repeatedly, “Find your own Calcutta.” That led to the start of Project Finding Calcutta, a service-focused ministry that provides opportunities for people to gather each week to perform corporal works of mercy. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a fed-up waiter or waitress to address the prompt, “I saw visions of ____ after _____.” Follow <a href="https://www.projectfindingcalcutta.com/">Project Finding Calcutta</a><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.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</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>

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John and Sam meet with Josh Hochschild, co-author of A Mind At Peace, to discuss the fact that modern technology is designed with the human person as the product to be sold, and how the addictive elements are disrupting and deadening our relationship with God, our family and friends, and ourselves. We also discuss the hierarchy of virtues a man needs to work on to regain control of his faculties and grow in holiness.In this episode we discuss;<ul>
<li>How technology is here to stay but does NOT need to control us</li>
<li>How the perennial teachings of the Church can still be used for this combat</li>
<li>How each of us struggle and have certain practices we use to stay disciplined</li>
<li>And more</li>
</ul> Joshua P. Hochschild is Professor of Philosophy and Director of Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Mount St. Mary’s University, where he also served six years as the inaugural Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. In addition to scholarly articles and books in medieval logic, metaphysics, ethics and social thought, his writing has appeared in Commonweal, First Things, Front Porch Republic, and the Wall Street Journal. He is co-author (with Christopher O. Blum) of A Mind at Peace: Reclaiming an Ordered Soul in the Age of Distraction (2017) and for 2020-21 he is President of the American Catholic Philosophical Association. He and his wife and their four children live in Emmitsburg, Maryland.Follow Josh on Twitter <a href="https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fjoshhochschild&amp;data=04%7C01%7Chochschild%40msmary.edu%7C3658856acc4b4ec1205108d95e60c9d2%7C1094034b6e0e4eb3a3bdfa55ae99b718%7C0%7C0%7C637644592086668516%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=gfuN6m70cNukSOCuAVrTR3zdd1MaiIpjLnYMyU80JLU%3D&amp;reserved=0">@JoshHochschild</a>Learn More about Josh at <a href="https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdirectory.msmary.edu%2Fpeople%2Fjoshua-hochschild.html&amp;data=04%7C01%7Chochschild%40msmary.edu%7C3658856acc4b4ec1205108d95e60c9d2%7C1094034b6e0e4eb3a3bdfa55ae99b718%7C0%7C0%7C637644592086678508%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=kqnfBN7VavRBlgLb3uk5jNeglp%2B4xTTRko8V4Fqhlf4%3D&amp;reserved=0">https://directory.msmary.edu/people/joshua-hochschild.html</a>Purchase A Mind at Peace: Reclaiming an Ordered Soul in the Age of Distraction - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Peace-Reclaiming-Ordered-Distraction/dp/1622823818">Click Here</a> Learn more about your ad choices.

Just two months before he was sent to the Korean War, Father Emil Kapaun gave a series of reflections on the Beatitudes, which proved to be a foreshadowing of how he would pour out his own life for his men. In this series, you will have the opportunity to explore the Beatitudes one-by-one through the living example of men and women like you, as well as through Father Kapaun’s own example. The Beatitudes are guideposts on our journey towards our heavenly blessing! (9 Sessions) Please Note: This series is intended to follow after the Kapaun’s Men Virtue Series, which introduces you to the life and virtues of Servant of God Emil Kapaun.

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father Today we hear how Jesus, Divine Knowledge, reveal and confront the reality of the dark angel demons which torment men and how Jesus warns men that they must choose to be either with Jesus or to be with Satan; there is no middle ground. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to build the Virtue of Studiousness so he can build a life-long habit of studying Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to grow in the Virtue of Defense so he can fulfill his duty to be a heroic protector of his family, the vulnerable and the Church.

C2six is a former gangsta rapper turned Christian rapper. After success as a secular rapper he had a conversion experience in 2007 at an all-ages concert in which he vowed to give up gangsta rap and dedicate his time and talent to God. Initially, he denounced his Catholic upbringing, considering himself to be a non-denominational Protestant Christian. After a 2 year break from music in order to study his Christian faith, he was compelled back to the Catholic Church. The music he was creating was cultured towards Catholicism, but there were not many other Catholics on the Christian rap scene. In a search for other Catholic hip-hop artists, C2six linked up with Nico Santana and S.M1ND in 2010 then John Levi and Val Mural in 2012 forming the group FoundNation. C2six and FoundNation have performed and spoken to young people throughout the United States. Canada and Mexico as well as the World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Panama City, Panama. C2six has released multiple albums and two documentaries as a Christian hip-hop artist. He has been featured on EWTN’s Journey Home with Marcus Grodi and Life On The Rock; Sirius XM Radio’s Jennifer Fulwiler Show and Conversations With Cardinal Dolan; and Shalom World TV’s Beats and Jesus My Savior. C2six resides in Fort Worth, Texas.

Bad Reasons to Reject Religion

<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>

What is THE BLESSING OF FIRST FRUITS?! | Mthr. Natalia

What does God’s glory look like in your everyday life? 
This week on They That Hope, Father Dave and Deacon Bob reflect on the Gospel account of the Transfiguration, exploring how moments of divine glory give us strength and perspective during life’s hardest trials. They share how Christ reveals his presence both in the extraordinary—like mountaintop encounters—and the ordinary rhythms of daily life. 
As Deacon Bob prepares to lead a mission team to Belize and Father Dave readies for a pilgrimage to Rwanda, they reflect on the beauty, chaos, and spiritual depth of saying "yes" to God’s call.  
Plus: Gene Hackman tributes, sports heartbreak, custom cookies, and the surprisingly tricky technique of applying ashes.

BEHOLD the Man | Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers | Episode #059

Men, it’s time to reclaim your weapon. In this episode of The Manly Catholic, James sits down once again with author and lay Dominican Shaun McAfee to discuss his newest children’s book from TAN Books, "<a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/saints-and-sacramentals-saint-dominic-and-the-rosary/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Saints and Sacramentals: Saint Dominic and the Rosary</a>" and why the Rosary remains one of the most powerful spiritual weapons in the Church’s arsenal today.Shaun shares the origins of the Rosary, tracing it back to St. Dominic’s battle against heresy in 1208, when Our Lady herself gave him the “battering ram” against the enemy: the Angelic Psalter. He unpacks how this Marian prayer transformed the Church, crushed falsehood, and became the spiritual sword of saints, soldiers, and families for centuries.James and Shaun challenge Catholic men to stop viewing the Rosary as an old lady’s devotion and start wielding it as the weapon for warriors. The discussion dives into why Our Lady chose something so simple yet so profound, how the Rosary defends the home, and why it must be restored to the heart of every Catholic household today.In this episode, you’ll learn:<ul><li>The true story of how St. Dominic received the Rosary from Our Lady.</li><li>Why the Rosary is still relevant and needed in our modern spiritual war.</li><li>How parents can introduce prayer and sacramentals to their children without frustration.</li><li>How to reclaim the Rosary as a weapon for yourself and your family.</li></ul>Challenge for Men: Pick up your Rosary every day this weekProducts/References Mentioned:<ul><li><a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/saints-and-sacramentals-saint-dominic-and-the-rosary/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Saints and Sacramentals: Saint Dominic and the Rosary by Shaun McAfee</a></li><li><a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/compendium-of-sacramentals-encyclopedia-of-the-churchs-blessings-signs-and-devotions/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Compendium of Sacramentals by Shaun McAfee</a></li><li><a href="https://shop.catholic.com/20-answers-relics-sacramentals/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">20 Answers: Relics and Sacramentals</a></li><li><a href="https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/the-controversial-history-of-the-rosary" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Article: “The Controversial History of the Rosary”</a></li></ul>Powerful Quotes:<ol><li>“Our Lady called the Rosary the battering ram against the enemy — and that’s exactly what it is.”</li><li>“Tru</li></ol><a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

John Michael Lucido is a regional director at FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students), where he and his wife serve the Lord by accompanying others, including fellow missionaries. John Michael shares how he tried to find acceptance in the wrong places as he started college and soon had to take a step back to reset his priorities and put God back at the forefront. He reflects on the powerful legacy of great Catholic men who came before him and how we are all standing on the shoulders of the men and women who carved this path for us. This is a story of God’s mercy and His pursuit of true relationship with each of us. Fun side note - John Michael was a former student of Paul’s back at Jesuit Preparatory School in Dallas, and they recounted some of the fun adventures and memories they shared from those days. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the dudes must take on the persona of someone who shares too much info to address the prompt, “A little know Bible story.” The TBD Question of the Day asks John Michael and the Dudes to reflect on what they each remember from their own Baptisms.

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

 Into the Breach – Episode 1: Masculinity 

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.

The Hero's Journey That Started with Anxiety | Nick Pierlot | Ep 18

In today's episode, we share a talk Bishop Barron offered earlier this year to the Catholic educators of the Archdiocese of Vancouver. He exhorted teachers to boldly proclaim the resurrection and lordship of Jesus, affirming that all Catholic teachers are, fundamentally, evangelizers.

WOF 305: For Teachers, Evangelizing is Priority One

St. Pope John Paul the II memorably observed that the Catholic Church comes from the eucharist and that the eucharist, in turn, comes from priests. As Bishop Barron noted in a recent letter to his diocese, "by an inescapable logic [therefore] no priests, no Church." We should add, however, that priests come from bishops, which expands the ecclesial logic to this: no bishops, no priests; no priests, no eucharist; no eucharist, no church. In other words, bishops not only hold an important administrative position within the Church; tracing their authority back to the apostles and, ultimately, to Jesus Christ himself, they constitute the very sacramental and liturgical foundation of Catholicism itself. That, to say the least, is a weighty responsibility. So what is it like to be a bishop? How does one come to hold this office? What, specifically, do bishops have authority over–and what don't they have authority over? What kind of relationship do they have with each other and with the Holy Father, the pope? What are their day-to-day obligations and activities? And what are some challenges they face that both clergy and laity may not be aware of? A listener asks what made Bishop Barron want to be a priest. Topics Covered: 01:38 | Bishop Barron's Thanksgiving in Chicago 02:45 | The origins of the office of bishop 04:51 | The theological dimension of the bishop's role 06:41 | The liturgical symbols of the office 10:45 | Bishop Barron's coat of arms 12:12 | How does one become a bishop? 16:10 | How are dioceses formed? 17:20 | Relating bishop to archbishop 18:51 | Understanding the bishop's authority 20:03 | What is a chancery? 21:03 | Essential tasks of the bishop 29:38 | Bishop Barron's approach to his official duties 33:01 | The meaning and authority of a conference of bishops 37:19 | Myths about Catholic bishops 40:06 | Listener question: What made you become a priest? 41:41 | Join the Word on Fire Institute <a href= "Links:">Links:</a> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>United States Conference of Catholic Bishops: <a href= "https://www.usccb.org/">https://www.usccb.org/</a></li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

He survived a brutal car crash, endured COVID at the height of the pandemic, and came out of both experiences with a deeper hunger for God. In this episode of Heroic Stories, Dan Venezia shares how suffering, his mother&rsquo;s example, the Rosary, and the Eucharist brought him from lukewarm faith into a life of daily surrender, fatherhood, and bold witness. This is a conversation about heroism, healing, prayer, men&rsquo;s spiritual leadership, and what it means to let Christ take the wheel.
