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>

Chapter 1: Final Goal

Discover

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

Be a Man! with Fr Larry Richards 

Everyone wants to be happy. Everyone is searching for a happiness that lasts and transcends the ups and downs of life. Dr. David Hajduk discusses how God has placed this natural desire for happiness in us so we are drawn to Him, Who alone can fulfill it. The Devil, however, tries to derail our efforts to find true happiness by distracting us with worldly things like sensual pleasure, power and popularity, and possessions. We need to turn to God to find the answers to our deepest questions about the meaning of life and the way to fulfillment.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>

Understanding the Scriptures w/ Jeff Cavins

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

Whatever format it’s found in, teamwork has always played an essential role in getting anything done.  It’s so important in fact that much of contemporary literature around leadership focuses on a leader’s ability to generate and maintain healthy teams.  But isn’t the notion of a team something that is essential to the Christian religion?  And if so shouldn’t Christianity offer a special advantage to a Christian leader?  In this tenth episode of our series on the Christian advantage in leadership I take a look at this question.

In this episode of Heroic Hotline, Sean Lynn and Father Andrew Bennett delve into the often-taboo subjects of faith and politics. They discuss the importance of Catholic engagement in political life, the differences between Canadian and American political dynamics, and the role of Catholic social teaching in guiding political action.

Catholicism, Radio, and Jesus with Cy Kellett

It's a new episode of Pints with Aquinas, and I welcome back my friend, Dr. Andrew Swafford—this time to talk about the Biblical basis for the priesthood. If you've ever wondered what the Bible says about the priesthood (or if it says anything at all about it), then this episode is for you. Dr. Swafford and I dive deep into the topic and answer such questions as: - What does a "priest" really mean? - Why doesn't the Catholic Church ordain women? - Why do we call priests "Father" when Christ tells us to call no earthly man your father? - What is apostolic succession? - Why do we need another mediator, if Christ is already the mediator between us and God? - And more!! I think you're going to really love this episode! Enjoy!

Ideas for Catholic Dads

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>

Alan Diaz didn’t find belonging in the streets of Harlem or in a gang; he found it in real brotherhood. Growing up without a father, he got pulled into the Bloods, searching for something that could never fill the void. The regret weighed heavy, but his story didn’t end there.Alan’s life took a turn when love and faith stepped in—starting with his wife, Daniela, and powerful mentors like Father Orlando and his brother Mike. They didn’t just support him; they showed him the way to redemption.Here’s the punchline: true strength isn’t about playing tough. It’s about humility, forgiveness, and the bonds you build in Christ’s love. Alan’s journey is proof that the hardest struggles can forge the most authentic relationships. And if you’re still chasing something real, it’s time to look in the right place.

Discernment, Spiritual Direction, and the Shirt that BROKE THE INTERNET | Andrew Rawicki | Episode #126

Jason Shanks doesn’t just talk about transformation—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’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. 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—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.

Leah Jacobson | Your Body Is Not Broken

Leaders are people of action.  They are those who have the vision to know what they want to do, the intelligence to choose how to do it, and the dedication to carry the job through.  It’s this last part that is a challenge for many.  As soon as we begin the process of change, challenges will arise from every side.  How do we form the heart and the drive sufficient to carry our actions through to success.  In these circumstances the Christian faith shines beautifully and gives Christian leaders and advantage.

David Bereit doesn’t sugarcoat it—growth and holiness are essential, even when you're in the depths of spiritual desolation. His journey from grassroots activism against abortion to becoming a leader who drives others to take action is proof that real change starts with heroic leadership.Bereit calls men to step up and lead their families and communities with courage, especially in the face of cultural dangers. His three-step framework—win, build, and send—is all about building authentic relationships, deepening faith, and creating a ripple effect of spiritual multiplication. By investing in others and raising up disciple-makers, Bereit shows us how we can transform our culture and build God’s kingdom right here on Earth.

Jim Hickey leads the BeatiDudes through a unique bonus episode, reflecting on Tara Grinstead's 2005 disappearance and the subsequent investigative podcast featuring her story, “Up and Vanished.” Jim had dated Tara before her disappearance, and thanks to that podcast, the mystery was solved, justice was served, and Jim was also proven innocent. Reflecting on the tragedy of Tara’s story, Jim and The BeatiDudes open up the discussion of demonic attack that leads to suicide, depression, drug use, and the million distractions that keep us from following God in every moment. Jim points out that the antidote is simple—show up. We are called to show up for others.We are called to show up for our Church.We are called to show up for our community.

Into the Breach – Episode 7: Prayer

One of the defining features of the Christian moral and spiritual life is the supernatural virtue of hope. What is hope? What makes hope more than a mere superstition? How does hope help us live both individually and in community? Can hope have negative consequences, like motivating people to remain passive in the face of injustice? And what, if any, evangelical significance does hope have? Bishop Barron gives us five reasons why we should be hopeful in the new year. A listener asks how he can find the strength to pray again. 00:00 | Intro 01:14 | Bishop Barron’s 2024 highlights 02:47 | The Christian concept of hope 04:15 | Hope’s relationship to reason 05:12 | Hope’s practical value in life 06:24 | Distinguishing hope from faith 08:27 | Distinguishing hope from optimism 10:21 | Responding to critiques of hope 15:37 | Reason 1: Bible sales increase while “nones” appear to have peaked 19:53 | Reason 2: Woke ideology is losing its grip on the culture 23:27 | Reason 3: Protestants and Catholics have increased cooperation 25:36 | Reason 4: The public response to the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral 30:01 | Reason 5: The Church continues to grow 31:27 | Listener question 33:53 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Article on Bible sales: <a href= "https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT" aria-label= "https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link= "">https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds</a></li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-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" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" aria-label= "Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

A Dram with Fr Marius Sztuk

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.

Case #06 - A Taste of Honey - Pt. 1

Friends, today we share a talk I recently gave to the service men and women at the United State Air Force Academy. After previously speaking at the <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBgmZdM0IKg" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Naval Academy</a> about three sailors from the Bible, then at <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFsvWeam01o" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">West Point</a> about three soldiers from the Old Testament, I wondered, what should I speak of to the Air Force Academy? What came to me was the angels, those famous fliers in the pages of the Bible. I told the Air Force men and women that they are flyers, too, and so they should consider the angelic realm, the realm of pure spirits, those who fly into the very presence of God, becoming radiant by contact with him. I encouraged them to join the angels in flight, trust their life to a higher power, and become a person of right praise.

CSR 133 Tyler Rosser

The easiest way to get lost in doing anything is to not know what you are trying to do to begin with.  Anytime we’re called to lead a project of any kind, our leadership begins with vision.  But what if we can’t find a vision?  Is there something deeper at the root of being able to cast a vision going forward?  There is – we call it the power to dream.  Dream is the power within a leader to reach forward to something which you do not yet possess and its roots lay in healing our ability to desire things.

We Were Born For This w/ Fr. John Riccardo

Christians who lead faith’s many paradoxes – we are supposed to be humble and yet we have authority.  We are supposed to be docile and yet we assert ourselves.  We are supposed to be virtuous and yet we place ourselves in positions that are often tempting.  Is it any wonder that so many people think Christians aren’t supposed to lead or so many Christians refuse to lead.  Pope St. Gregory the Great gives us a keen answer in chapter 6 of his second book, “On The Rule Of Shepherds.”

DGT Episode 146 - Gently Strong, Strongly Gentle - Gregory The Great Part 4

Jeff Joaquin’s journey is packed with hard-hitting truths and raw moments of transformation. From turning personal pain into purpose, to redefining weakness as true strength, he dives into the life-altering grip of addiction that started at age 9, nearly destroyed him by 21, and revealed his darkest battles with pornography and drugs. Smartphones become “original sin” devices, and he unveils three game-changing steps to fight addiction for good. Through painful revelations—including a haunting regret and a heart attack that pushed him to find faith—Jeff challenges men to take up the ultimate responsibility of fatherhood, confront the emptiness of workaholism, and reject the world’s lies. Finding forgiveness in confession, he calls men to live with authenticity, stand as “soldiers for Christ,” and embrace life’s highest calling. Inspired by the story of a martyr, he sends one final, powerful message: live for truth, no matter the cost.This talk was presented live at the morning convocation in October 2024. Jeff prays that his testimony shared with these young men helps them avoid the mistakes he made when he was growing up. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/jeffmjoaquin">Follow Jeff online </a>

Official trailer lands in April! 🔥Comment below: why do you think men need a series like this? Can you help? Step up with Heroic Men to get this series into the hands of 25,000 men this 2025. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/give">https://heroicmen.org/give</a>Men: What if the world is wrong about masculinity? What if being a man is NOT about power, control, and getting what you want? Father Larry's bestseller book comes to you in an epic 12-part series—only on Heroic Men. God made you a man. And God doesn't make mistakes. This world is confused. It doesn’t know what a real man is anymore. A real man doesn’t live in isolation. He doesn’t sit around making excuses for his selfishness. He doesn’t let fear or pride control his life.Look at the Cross. The perfect man, Jesus Christ, was nailed to it. Not for Himself. Not for His comfort. But for YOU. That is what it means to be a man—to lay down your life for others, to surrender your ego, to stop living for yourself and start living for Christ.The question isn’t whether or not you want to be a man. The question is: will you become the man God made you to be?

Be a Man! The New Series with Fr Larry Richards | Only on Heroic Men — FIRST LOOK

In today’s episode we’ll learn that:
 - We should examine our approach to confession and whether we truly renounce sins or just seek mercy
 - We have free will and so the choice to continue to sin is up to us
 - With God all things are possible.

WOF 168: Bishop Barron at Amazon's HQ

In a world where men feel alone and friendless, it’s time to kick isolation to the curb. We men are starved for action and identity. But the culture can’t give it to us. It’s time to cut through the noise. To get back to basics.

Deep down, do you feel pointless and worthless? Like the best you can do for the world is sacrifice your life?

Time out. We’re worth infinitely more than that.

In Jesus, we are sons of God our Father. Every man is hounded by God's relentless love. You’re a man. You matter.

Join us live online for a free, 1-hour event hosted by Fr. Larry Richards, and HeroicMen. Let’s be clear: this isn't a feel-good happy hour. This is a kick-in-the-pants to sit up, step up, and claim your God-given identity.

We're going live on Thursday, November 30, at 8:30 pm to get clear on what Sons of the Father means.
This needs to get real, real fast. We’re not kidding when we say lives are at stake: self-harm rates and loneliness are an epidemic among men. It needs to stop. The Heroic Identity: Sons of the Father livestream is the line: This is where we stand. Here is where it ends.

Flip the script, change the game, and get off the sidelines of your own life. It's not about words; it's about action. Inspired by the Catholic faith, this is your call to return to identity as a son of God.

A Dram With Santiago Torres

Manhood

Friends, today on the “Word on Fire Show,” we kick off a new series of discussions called “Understanding the Present Moment.” Brandon Vogt and I will look at four massively influential figures who together help explain our present moment, how we arrived at where we are today. The ideologies undergirding much of the unrest in our culture stem from these four thinkers: Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault. Once we understand these figures and their key ideas, we will recognize them everywhere and be prepared to engage today’s challenges. In today’s first discussion, we focus on Karl Marx. A listener asks, what advice would you give to a man discerning the permanent diaconate?

After Stoicism - A Conversation on Boethius with Dr. Thomas Ward

Kory Koralewski didn’t grow up in the Catholic Church, but when he found it in his 20s, everything changed. It started with a simple invite—taking his future wife to Mass—and grew into something much deeper. When his marriage hit rough waters, it was Perpetual Adoration that anchored him.Kory’s not just talking about faith; he’s living it. He saw the power of community and prayer firsthand and rallied the men in his parish to commit to nightly adoration. His journey is proof that even in moments of despair, seeking God and leaning on brotherhood can turn things around.Kory’s message is clear: Don’t wait for the perfect moment to embrace your faith. Start now, and watch how God, community, and a commitment to prayer can transform your life.

WOF 087: The Law of the Gift

A cultural shift seems to be underway, at least within the United States, that is potentially making society more open—perhaps even more positively disposed—to the wisdom of the Catholic social thought tradition. If there is an opportunity for Catholic teachings to have more cultural and political traction now, how should the Church take advantage of it? What counsel can the Church give on complex policy issues like education, immigration, the economy, and foreign policy? Today we discuss the Catholic understanding of the common good and how it is especially relevant in this moment. A listener asks, what is the kingdom of God? 00:00 | Intro 01:41 | Bishop Barron visits a mentor 02:52 | Religion: public or private? 06:56 | Assessing recent shifts in culture 08:09 | Common good vs. utilitarianism 10:49 | Dignity vs. autonomy 14:35 | Common good vs. social justice 18:37 | Common good vs. generic conservatism 21:25 | Nonnegotiable moral principles vs. variable prudential judgments 24:27 | Common good and education 28:23 | Common good and the economy 30:30 | Common good and immigration 33:38 | Common good and foreign policy 35:38 | Listener question: What is the kingdom of God? 37:38 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

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

WOF 248: Your Life is Not About You (Part 1 of 2)

The recent confrontation between a grinning young high school student and a Native American elder has led to much anger and vitriol, especially on social media. But as Bishop Barron suggests, it also exemplified the "scapegoating mechanism" described by philosopher René Girard. How do we avoid this scapegoating? How can we bring more light to the online world? Bishop Barron has some advice. A listener asks whether our memories will transfer to Heaven.

WOF 166: Scapegoating on Social Media

Friends, do we have a right to choose how and when we die? Should we be worried about the rapid rise of euthanasia, including in the United States? Euthanasia has been in the news lately thanks to reports out of Canada, where last year, over 10,000 Canadians ended their lives via euthanasia. Those numbers are sure to go up, as Canada has loosened restrictions so that people can now choose euthanasia not only to avoid pain and suffering in the face of terminal disease, but simply for “mental health reasons.” On today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I discuss these alarming trends and how to make the case that life is worth living. A listener asks, why does it matter where we go to worship the Lord as long as we’re doing so?

WOF 371: The Rise of Euthanasia

The Internet has produced the most profound shift in communications since the printing press, and many in the Church are using it to spread the Gospel. But how best to do it? How do we share our faith online without succumbing to the toxicity and vitriol that saturate much of the digital world? Bishop Barron discusses these questions today and shares his own advice for becoming an online missionary. A listener asks how he should respond when sharing his faith on Facebook provokes criticism.
