EP 86 Q&A With Fr.Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

In this episode, our conversation explores the mission of Amazing Parish and the importance of healthy leadership within the Church. Brett and Tim Glemkowski reflect on the powerful fruits of the Eucharistic Congress, how renewal movements can collaborate rather than compete, and the reminder that true revival comes from God's movement, not just strategies or models. They share encouraging signs of spiritual hunger, especially among Gen Z, and highlight the role of leaders in discerning and supporting God's work already underway. The episode closes with reflections on the surprise election of Pope Leo, his grounded Midwestern roots, and the hope that his leadership brings for the future.

Andy Churray’s tattooed arms are an outward symbol of the interior reality of his faith walk. Together with the fake tattoo sleeves worn by The BeatiDudes, Andy shares some of his favorite tattoos and the original stories for several of his faith-focused ink. Andy is the interim Executive Director for Vagabond Missions. As Jesus was a vagabond during his earthly ministry, wandering to the margins of society to bring home the wanderers, Vagabond missionaries follow his example and bring the Good News to those the world ignores. Vagabond missionaries build friendships with and serve teens in urban and inner-city communities through weekly programs, outreach, and personal mentorship.When Bob and Kate Lesnefsky took their first positions in youth ministry at a parish in Schenectady, NY, they were surprised to find an inner-city community. They were even more surprised at how much fulfillment they found in bringing the Gospel to those on the margins. After four years in New York, Bob took what he believed at the time was the “dream” youth ministry job at a wealthy parish in Texas, but it only took a few months for him and Kate to realize that God was calling them back to the inner city.Teens in the inner city face a cycle of neglect, violence, and broken family life. This destructive environment has dire consequences for them and society. Vagabond Missions intervenes during this time of crisis by inviting them into a relationship with God and others. Through outreach and mentorship, teens experience hope for their lives and a place to call home. When teens tangibly experience Jesus, their lives are transformed.Follow <a href="https://vagabondmissions.com/">Vagabond Missions</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>

EP 66 - The Eucharist and Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Jesus’ only recorded journey through Bethphage occurs just before His Passion, when He instructed His disciples to retrieve a donkey for His entry into Jerusalem. Though a small village, Bethphage carries great symbolic weight: it is the place where humility and kingship meet, where prophecy begins to be fulfilled in the visible procession of the Messiah toward His sacrifice. Deacon Harold wraps more stops on Jesus' tour.

What if the secret to purity wasn&rsquo;t discipline&mdash;but brotherhood? In this powerful episode, we hear how Fight Club Catholic is changing the lives of young men battling addiction, shame, and isolation.

You&rsquo;ll hear how they fight&mdash;with accountability, sacrifice, and a clear purpose: to reclaim their hearts for Jesus, their future brides, and their brothers. From shocking statistics to real stories of transformation, this is a call to every man who&rsquo;s tired of fighting alone. Discover why purity is possible&mdash;and how building the right brotherhood might be the answer you didn&rsquo;t know you needed.

What if the most dangerous move the enemy makes against you doesn't feel like an attack at all? Dan Burke — author, speaker, trainer of clergy, and former president of EWTN News sits down with Ryan Bethea and Father Martins to break down one of the most overlooked concepts in spiritual warfare: false peace. Dan draws on the discernment tradition of Saint Ignatius of Loyola to show how the enemy offers counterfeit comfort at two very different stages of the Christian life. For those struggling with habitual sin, he manufactures apparent pleasure that mimics peace. For those genuinely advancing in holiness, he engineers distractions that look like blessings- good things in the wrong priority.

EP 34 - Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Episode 19 “And Forgive Us Our Trespasses” features Immaculée Ilibagiza as we discuss the Lord’s command to forgive (even our enemies), the impossibility of doing so without God’s grace, and the power of trusting in Divine Mercy.Guest Info:<ul><li>Immaculée Ilibagiza — Immaculée is a survivor of the 1994 Rwandan genocide that took the lives of nearly one million Tutsi men, women, and children, including her entire family except for one of her brothers. She found shelter at a Protestant pastor’s home, where she and seven other women hid from the deadly rebel mob in a 3-by-4-foot bathroom for 91 days. During that time, Immaculée found her faith, taught herself English, and most incredibly, committed herself to a life of peace, hope, and forgiveness, even for those who had murdered her family. She has gone on to work at the United Nations, receive five honorary doctoral degrees, write seven books about her faith and her life journey, and is the recipient of the Mahatma Gandhi International Award for Reconciliation and Peace.</li></ul> Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David HajdukFollow Array of Hope Ministries on:Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ArrayOfHopeMinistries">@arrayofhopeministries</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/arrayofhopeministries/">@arrayofhopeministries</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/AOHMinistries">@aohministries</a>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@arrayofhopeministries">@arrayofhopeministries</a> LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/array-of-hope-ministries/">@arrayofhopeministries</a> YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/arrayofhope">@ArrayofHopeMinistries</a>

And Forgive Us Our Trespasses w/ Immaculée Ilibagiza

Tell me if you’ve ever said something like this before: 
“If my boss wasn’t such a jerk, I’d like my job.”
“If my wife would just listen to me, we’d be able to be happy.”
"If only my friends would stop doing x, y, or z, I’d be able to be myself.”

This blame game is a favorite tool of the enemy going all the way back to Eden. As long as we’re focused on what other people aren’t doing right or how they’re hurting us and waiting on them to change, we’re not facing ourselves and becoming the saints we’re called to be.

In this episode, we’re talking about why so many of us feel stuck. The simple answer is that we fall into this trap that says happiness and freedom depend on other people changing their behavior, and that’s not at all the case. We’ll get into:
🔹What stories we tell ourselves about the struggles we face
🔹The responsibility we have to choose our responses to the things that happen to us
🔹Where the search for freedom and happiness truly starts

If we know something someone’s doing isn’t right, of course we hope and pray for a change. But whether or not they do is between them and God, and only God has the power to change their hearts. It does us no good to tie our happiness, our freedom, our calling to what they’re doing. That plays right into the enemy’s hands. If you find yourself in this place, I hope this episode encourages you to chase after the freedom God has for you, no matter what everyone else is doing.

ILT Ep50 John and Bob

The Feast of the Assumption is not a quaint Catholic tradition. Mary, the New Eve, was taken body and soul into Heaven, preserved from corruption, crowned in glory, and placed beside her Son as Queen. This truth is not optional for us as Catholic men. It is a dogma of the Church. And it is a challenge.Fr. Dom takes you deep into the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Drawing from Scripture, the early Church Fathers, and Pope Pius XII’s declaration of the dogma in 1950, he unpacks why this feast matters for men right now. Mary shows us what it means to receive Christ, act with zeal, and go into the world with courage and conviction. Her life was not passive; she moved with the Holy Spirit and lived in complete fidelity to God.This is not simply about Mary. It’s about your mission as a Catholic man. Do you go out into the world bringing Christ, or do you sit idly by while the faith is mocked, minimized, or ignored? The Assumption confronts us with the reality that if Mary, fully human, can triumph by God’s grace, then so can we. But it requires action, faith, and sacrifice.Fr. Dom also highlights the unity of Mary’s four dogmas:<ul><li>Mary, Mother of God</li><li>Perpetual Virginity</li><li>Immaculate Conception</li><li>The Assumption</li></ul>Each one reveals her unique role in salvation history and points us to Christ. Rejecting these truths is rejecting Christ Himself, because every Marian dogma magnifies His power and glory.As Catholic men, we cannot afford to remain lukewarm. Mary went in haste. She lived with urgency. And she calls us to do the same.The Challenge Issued in This Episode: Stop hiding your faith. Let the world know you are Catholic. If Mary could go forth with zeal after receiving Christ, then you too must rise and carry Him into your family, workplace, and community.Powerful Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>“Mary received the Body of Christ—and she went. She moved. She did something. Are we compelled by the Holy Spirit the way she was?”</li><li>“There are no first-class relics of Mary because her body was assumed into Heaven. Her tomb is empty.”</li><li>“The Assumption is not just about Mary’s incorruptibility—it’s about her triumph over death, united with her Son. And that victory is the promise for us too.”</li></ol>Key Takeaway for Men: Live with urgency. Like Mary, do not sit idle after receiving Christ in the Eucharist.

The WEIRDEST Question Jesus Asked

You have influence, but do you have direction? In this 10-part masterclass, Bill Moyer walks men through what the Bible teaches about Christian leadership: character, dependence on God, integrity, values, vision, communication, humility, relationships, small acts of faithfulness, and mentoring.&nbsp;This is leadership that begins deeper than skill, title, or success, because a man can build something impressive and still lose sight of what matters most.
Through practical teaching, reflection questions, and action steps,&nbsp;Led to Lead helps future leaders examine their hearts, strengthen their influence, and serve the people God has entrusted to them.&nbsp;The journey is from influence to direction, from self to service, and from success to significance.

Unravel the mysteries behind Mary's immaculate conception and her revered role in the Catholic Church with us. We promise to illuminate the unexplored depths of this significant doctrine, while unpacking the power and significance of the Hail Mary. In an engaging conversation, we trace the roots of the immaculate conception back to the historical proclamation by Pope Pius IX in 1854. We also delve into the intricate process of defining a dogma and dissect the importance of religious adherence to these sacred teachings. For those seeking a profound understanding, we recommend immersing yourself in Pope Pius IX's apostolic constitution on the immaculate conception.  Taking a leap back to the days of the early church fathers, we dive into the theological understanding of Mary as the mother of God. They believed her to be a miraculous creation, filled with grace and the Holy Spirit's gifts. We'll share their perspective of Mary as the new Eve, untouched by sin and victorious over temptation. We also examine Mary's immaculate conception and her unmatched perfection, exploring the widespread acceptance of this doctrine amongst our ancestors in faith. Join our celebration of Mary's surpassing purity and holiness, and the belief that she is the dwelling place of all graces. Together, let's discover the magnitude of Mary's holiness and beauty, a subject so immense it cannot be fully praised by the tongues of heaven and earth.<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!

Is my active lifestyle robbing the Cross of its Power?

Idyle Busybodies

Most men today are overworked, overstimulated, and spiritually malnourished. We chase productivity but neglect silence. We build muscle but forget the soul. In this powerful continuation of our conversation from part 1, we cut through the noise and get back to the basics of what it means to live as a Catholic warrior. Fr. Dom shares hard truths about what men must reclaim if we’re going to lead our families and defend the Faith. From the forgotten power of fasting and retreats to the reality of priestly warfare and spiritual combat, this episode calls every man to rise and take his place in the ranks of Christ’s army.We talk about everything from cold plunges and physical discipline to the beauty and meaning of the Latin Mass vestments, the sacredness of the priesthood, and why knowledge of the liturgy can reignite your love for the Eucharist. Fr. Dom also opens up about his athletic past, his experiences in triathlons and endurance racing, and how physical discipline shapes spiritual virtue.And perhaps most powerfully, he breaks down the priest’s calling with raw honesty: what it costs, what it demands, and why true priesthood is a battlefield. Every man, husband, father, or priest, is called to be a warrior for souls.You’ll hear:<ul><li>Why men must take at least one silent retreat every year.</li><li>How fasting, prayer, and physical struggle forge spiritual discipline.</li><li>The danger of spiritual laziness among priests and laity alike.</li><li>What it really means to discern the priesthood as a man of God.</li><li>Why we must pray and fast for our priests more than ever.</li></ul>The Church doesn’t need passive men. She needs holy warriors.CHALLENGE: Find time this month to enter into silence with God. Unplug completely. No phone. No distractions. Just Scripture, a journal, and prayer. Let Him speak. And then—fast and pray for your parish priest this week.PRODUCTS / REFERENCES MENTIONED:<ul><li>Exodus 90 (ascetic men’s program)</li><li>FSSP (Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter)</li><li>Calvary (2014 film, starring Brendan Gleeson)</li></ul>3 POWERFUL QUOTES:<ol><li>“If you want to fight in a supernatural battle, to be a warrior for Christ, you need to know that you will die.

Since the term “exorcist” is generally understood as the title for a priest who has been formally&nbsp;mandated&nbsp;by his Bishop, we just wanted to clear this up, in respect to Fr Angelus’ current status. Finally, we ask that you please keep Fr Angelus in your prayers; that God continue to use him as an instrument of deliverance for God’s most spiritually afflicted children as His holy will ordains.&nbsp;

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

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

Ready to confront your preconceived notions about the realm of exorcism? This episode peels back the veil of dramatic cinema to reveal the truth about demonic possession, guided by none other than Father Vincent Lampert, a sought-after exorcist for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. Father Lampert takes us on a journey, dismantling Hollywood's portrayal of demons and detailing the meticulous protocols followed in the United States when dealing with such matters. From the symbolism of the pentagram to the profound concept of perfect possession, the conversation takes intriguing turns. We venture into the global perspectives of demonic activity, and the distinct ways it's perceived in the West compared to other parts of the world. Critical insights into differentiating between the possessed and the possessor, and the importance of local church connections for pastoral care add depth to our understanding. As we delve deeper into the modern state of exorcism, we consider the rising visibility of exorcists, the intersection of faith and skepticism, and voice concerns over the commercialization of exorcism. Father Lampert sheds light on the pivotal role of bishops and priests, the power of intentional prayer, and the discernment needed in spiritual warfare. If you ever wondered about the mystifying world of exorcism, this episode is a must-listen, challenging you to reconsider your own connection to faith and the spiritual realm.<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!

Ep 94 - Everything You Wanted to Know About An Exorcist with Father Vincent Lampert

If life is hard, and men have to get harder to be good and heroic men, we need to clear out what's between our ears. We need better ideas, examples, and heroes to help us survive the hardship of daily life. More than survive: we must learn to live as men fully alive.
Dominic de Souza and Chris Mann tackle this idea of the 'mind of Christ', with plenty of references from movies, Sacred Scripture, and personal examples. Each conversation kicks open the doors, unpicks the stitching on old wounds, and ends with a simple, practical action that any man, any where, can practice.&nbsp;
The Mind of Christ for Men is not a sermon for smart people, but a mini-series for men who want more out of life, and want ideas how to live like Christ that doesn't shame you out of hell and guilt you into Heaven. The world needs every man in it, and we hope our stories inspire you to take up the adventure of your life.

The Mind of Christ for Men 

Ever feel like sin has you pinned down, making holiness seem out of reach? What if God's grace could prevent the fight before it starts? In this episode of The Manly Catholic, we dive deep into the Immaculate Conception; the feast that shows Mary was conceived without original sin, proving God's power to keep us spotless from the jump. Released right after December 8th's Holy Day of Obligation, this isn't just history; it's a wake-up call for every Catholic man striving to lead his family and crush vice. We unpack the feast's roots from the early Church's "new Eve" vision to Pope Pius IX's 1854 dogma in Ineffabilis Deus, where he declared Mary preserved from sin through Christ's merits. Discover how Franciscans pushed this truth against skeptics like St. Bernard, and why it's one of just 10 universal Holy Days demanding your Mass attendance. Cool ties include the Miraculous Medal's origin, Mary's Lourdes bombshell as "the Immaculate Conception," and her role as U.S. patroness amid pre-Civil War chaos. This dogma spotlights preventative grace. God equips you to say no to temptation like Mary did with her fiat. As men, we see her as the strong model crushing the serpent's head, pointing straight to Christ in doctrines like her Perpetual Virginity and Assumption. But here's the challenge: Pause today and reflect on your baptism, where you were reborn clean. Commit to daily Rosary prayers, leaning on Mary's intercession to build that unshakeable holiness in your vocation as husband and father. Don't miss how this truth fortifies your faith against modern doubts, with papal infallibility explained straight from Vatican I. Tune in now—your path to sainthood starts with understanding Mary's yes. References Mentioned:<ul><li>Ineffabilis Deus (Apostolic Constitution, 1854) </li><li>Miraculous Medal (revelation to St. Catherine Labouré, 1830) </li><li>Munificentissimus Deus (Assumption dogma, 1950, for context)</li></ul>Powerful Quotes:<ol><li>"God saves not just by forgiving sins but by preventing them—preventative grace." </li><li>"Mary's sinless start demonstrates that holiness is possible through God's gift if one says yes to God." </li><li>"Dogmas are rock solid truth, revealed by God and guarded infallibly... Denying them undercuts Christology."</li></ol>Key Takeaway: Start praying the Rosary every day right now—it's your direct line to Mary's intercession, helping you fight sin proactively and step up a<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!

Ep 180 - Mary's Sinless Start: The Ultimate Blueprint for Your Battle Against Sin

Across the board and throughout time leaders have always complained about being alone.  The expression “it’s lonely at the top” says it well.  But this loneliness is not always a bad thing, in fact, usually it is the result of doing what leaders have to do.  When you lead you’re first and when you’re first you’re necessarily alone.  In this third part of our series on embracing solitude we look at the particular solitude that comes from planning and the surprising ways that we can find Christ there.

DGT Episode 324 - The Solitude of Decision - Embracing Solitude Part 3

Brothers, picture this: a man who wasn’t a biological dad but stepped up to raise the Son of God Himself. That’s St. Joseph, the Foster Father of the Son of God, and in this episode of the Manly Catholic Podcast, we’re digging into his example to ignite something in you. Recorded on March 10, 2025, as part of our Lenten Reflections, this isn’t just a feel-good story—it’s a battle cry for every man to reclaim fatherhood in a world that’s tearing it apart. Want to know what it really means to be a father, whether you’ve got kids or not? Hit play and let’s get after it.Here’s the deal: St. Joseph didn’t need a DNA test to be a father—he provided, protected, and led Jesus and Mary with a heart full of grit and grace. We’ll unpack how fatherhood isn’t optional for us men; it’s etched into who we are, whether as dads, mentors, or priests. I’ll share a raw slice of my own story—how I once shrugged at the idea of kids until Pope Francis’ words hit me like a freight train: if a man doesn’t crave fatherhood, something’s off. Now, with four kids of my own, I see it clear as day. This episode’s packed with real talk about stepping up, from guiding your family in faith to shielding them from a culture gone rogue.And because I’m not here to just yap, I’ve got a challenge for you—yeah, you listening right now. Reflect on your role as a father—biological, spiritual, or otherwise—and take one of these steps today:  <ol><li>Be Present - Sit down with your kids or a young guy in your life and teach them something about the faith. Maybe it’s a quick “Our Father” or a story about St. Joseph.  </li><li>Lead in Prayer - Grab your family tonight and pray the Rosary, Angelus, or Divine Mercy Chaplet together. Don’t overthink it—just start.  </li><li>Mentor Someone - Reach out to a young man in your community who’s drifting. Offer a coffee, a conversation, or a nudge toward holiness.</li></ol>3 Powerful Quotes<ol><li>“Fatherhood is not optional. It is essential, written into our very nature as men whether we are biological fathers, adoptive fathers, spiritual fathers, or even just mentors.”</li><li>“The crisis of masculinity in today’s world is at its core a crisis of fatherhood. Too many men have abandoned their role, leaving families and society in disarray.”</li><li>“You cannot do this alone. Too many men try to be isolated, try to do it themselves… That is exactly what Satan wants you to think.”</li></ol>Pray with your people tonight.

Day 4 - St. Joseph: The Patriarch You Need Now

In this podcast, Dr Phil Chavez speaks again about what it is to be a Beloved Son in connection with the Liturgy. God desires that one gain grounding in their identity as well as their main duty in life. In this case, it is to embrace oneself as a Beloved Son, and thereafter offer worship God, particularly in the Mass. 

The secular world rejects an identity that is objective, and holds that everything is malleable and changeable. Dr. Chavez explains that the grounding of oneself as a Beloved Son is a good means by which to face a liquid society. To maintain grounding in one’s identity, and the primal duty of worship helps anyone looking for solid objectivity in the present age. Learn points as to how this becomes practical through a life of prayer and other means.
