Roxanne King | Catholic Heroes of Civil and Human Rights

It's Word of God Wednesday so Deacon Harold is opening up the 5th Sunday of Easter, Year C readings for this weekend. Also looking at Soulful Psalm 33:18-22

5th Sunday of Easter, Year C

Father John Riccardo doesn’t hold back. He opens up about the darkest moment of his life—a moment that brought shame and pain. But instead of hiding it, he leans in, making a bold call for men to confront their traumas head-on. Why? Because healing starts with honesty, and no one should fight their battles alone. Father John credits his hero: his dad. A man who lived humility, prayer, and a God-first life. It was through his father’s example and the challenge of other men that he finally stopped running and embraced the call to be a disciple of Jesus. The question is: are you ready to answer the call?

Rescue Mission: Real Men Inspire Change through Brotherhood

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control... If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit." - Galatians 5: 22-25By the way we live and how we treat people, our lives produce some type of fruit. The sort of fruit our lives produce has eternal consequences for us personally as well as a profound impact on those people we love. In fact, our fruit impacts all of our relationships, from the most casual to the most intimate. When we live animated by the Holy Spirit, our lives produce fruit that not only makes our own life more peaceful, patient, and loving but also influences positively those whom we encounter each and every day.<a href="https://wildgoose.tv/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Wild Goose Website</a> | <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hOAVbPbyXfzLijwZdhtcqa9_9bHFiff1/view?usp=drive_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Study Guide</a>

The Fruits of the Holy Spirit | Episode 9

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>

ILT Ep17 Matthew Kleinschmidt

Wisdom isn&rsquo;t about how smart you are&mdash;it&rsquo;s about how surrendered you are. In Chapter Seven: Wisdom, Father Larry unpacks what it truly means to see the world through God&rsquo;s eyes and live according to His will. Real wisdom, he says, isn&rsquo;t political. It isn&rsquo;t macho. And it&rsquo;s definitely not self-centered. It&rsquo;s living like Jesus, who emptied Himself, took the form of a slave, and obeyed the Father&mdash;even to death.&nbsp;<a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Catholic ReCon | Conversion Stories

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

In this episode, Dr. David Hajduk gives his take on whether you can call yourself "Catholic" and be "pro-choice." He makes clear what being "pro-choice" means and what being "Catholic" means, as well as what sort of choices, beliefs, and activities might make a person no longer in communion with the Catholic Church. - Support our Sponsor -<a href="https://bit.ly/3UaE1t2" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Ave Maria Mutual Funds</a>&nbsp;-&nbsp;the largest family of Catholic mutual funds in the U.S. Launched in 2001, their six no-load funds adhere to strong pro-life and pro-family values. ✨See How We Can Help Your Parish/Faith Community https://arrayofhope.org/ - Connect with us! -Facebook: @arrayofhopeministriesInstagram: @arrayofhopeministriesX: @aohministriesTikTok: @arrayofhopeministriesLinkedIn: @arrayofhopeministriesYouTube: @ArrayofHopeMinistriesWebsite : https://arrayofhope.org/podcast #catholic #prolife #prochoice ⏰ Timecodes ⏰00:00 Intro01:28 Can a person be both Catholic and Pro-choice02:30 What is Abortion?03:45 The Catholic Churches opinions &amp; teachings about abortion05:28 Excommunicated from the Catholic Church06:33 How can excommunication be lifted?06:57 Abortion in Politics10:38 Ave Maria Mutual Fund Ad12:13 More on the Teachings of the Church about Abortion13:36 St. Pope John Paul II - Evangelium Vitae15:35 Rejecting the Churches Teachings about Abortion16:33 Possibility of schism on those who oppose the Churches teachings on abortion16:56 St. Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Letters17:47 Pope Benedict XVI comments on the teachings19:26 Are the excommunicated still Catholics?20:51 Final Thoughts

Does a Catholic Have to Be Pro-Life?

Earlier in life, Fr. John had reached a point of chronic pain and bizarre food allergies. While searching for a cure, he began working with Dr. Kevin Majeres. This led Fr. John to practice mindfulness and reframe his views of pain and discomfort. Within 6 weeks of starting this new approach, Fr. John overcame the psychogenetic conditions that were causing his issues. Today, Fr. John finds joy in being open to discomfort and experiencing every moment with great intention.Tune-in to be blown away alongside BeatiDudes Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein. <a href="https://YouTube.com/@fr.johnbayer1905" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fr.

God is in the Present Moment | Fr. John Bayer, O.Cist. | Episode #186

He was captain of his varsity football, basketball, and baseball teams and received multiple scholar-athlete awards, being mildly recruited by small private colleges and Ivy League schools in various sports. More specifically, he was a standout defensive catcher on a championship team and an all-conference defensive end. In basketball, he was one of the best defensive players in the state. In addition, he was a high school track and field coach and coached baseball in town leagues for many years. He is a best-selling novelist and the founder of The Mary Foundation, which he created more than 33 years ago. Their apostolate has influenced tens of millions of people through their website, novels, and other Catholic resources. In 2020 he and a priest "pinned" the Mantle of Mary on the extreme four corners of the U.S., and later, over an eight-month period, he led a spiritual warfare initiative requiring extraordinary physical challenges, which he talks about during this interview.

Fasting Makes a Comeback | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Politics, Concentration Camps, &amp; St Catherine of Sienna? What do a medieval saint and a concentration camp survivor have to say to a modern man trying to do the right thing? A lot, it turns out. Deacon Eric Paige opens up about his own turning point&mdash;from a fast track in politics to a life of faith and service. He talks about why St. Catherine of Siena&rsquo;s fierce love and clear calling speak so deeply to him, and how Viktor Frankl&rsquo;s ability to find meaning in the worst darkness still lights the way today. This isn&rsquo;t about having it all figured out. It&rsquo;s about trusting God enough to take the next step.
For any man trying to show up for his family, his church, and himself&mdash;this is a story about courage, clarity, and how we keep going when the path isn&rsquo;t clear.

Welcome to the pew. The place where everyday catholic guys, talk about everyday catholic things, in front of the one person that can do something about it. Jesus Christ

Just A Guy In The Pew Podcast

The Man Who Lost His Head for the Truth is more than a clever title&mdash;it&rsquo;s a piercing reminder of what real conviction looks like. In this stirring talk, Father Deacon Andrew Bennett draws us into the fearless faith of St. Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor who defied a king and paid with his life. With stories pulled from trial transcripts and scenes that echo through Westminster Hall, this video asks the hard questions: What is truth? Who gets to define it? And are we, like More, willing to suffer for it?
From the bloody legacy of Henry VIII&rsquo;s supremacy to today&rsquo;s quiet coercions, this is a bold meditation on what it means to live&mdash;and die&mdash;for the truth. Blending historical drama with deep spiritual insight, the talk is a call to live a public faith in a world that demands silence. Whether you're a student, a professional, or simply a Catholic who&rsquo;s tired of hiding your beliefs, this is your moment to be inspired by a man who was never afraid to say no. &nbsp; | ABOUT HEROIC MEN | Heroic Men strengthens men to become missionary disciples, to bring more men to Jesus Christ.

Heroic Stories - Full Video Episodes

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

The BeatiDudes welcome one of their favorite priests, Fr. Edwin Leonard, Pastor of St Ann Parish in Coppell, where the Dudes are parishioners with their families. Fr. Edwin shares the spirit-led way in which St. Ann Parish encourages participation and receives each person with abundant hospitality. While describing St. Ann’s openness to new ideas, it becomes clear to the Dudes that St. Ann follows the first rule of improv – “Yes, and” – as that is part of their unique approach to ministry. During Blessed are the Joke Makers, with 72 points of the line, the Dudes must address the question, “What is talked about at the pub,” as a new parent.Fr. Edwin shares exciting updates about St. Ann Parish, including the new missionary institute, the addition of 2 new priests, and a church renovation to bring the tabernacle into the main sanctuary of the parish. He then reflects on the beauty of all types of worship, from the most traditional to the most charismatic. Then during the TBD Question of the Day, the Dudes and Fr. Edwin reflect on a fight-or-flight moment from each of their lives. And you won’t want to miss the most amazing reverse Simpsons ending, during which Fr. Edwin is asked to sing Taylor Swift.<h2>Follow St. Ann Parish</h2><a href="https://www.stannparish.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">St Ann Parish, Greater Coppell Area</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a>joinsolidarity.com <a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Pencil Bureau</a>

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" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Pencil Bureau</a> <a href="https://www.davemooremusic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dave Moore Music</a>

The Memphis Exorcist: Msgr. Victor Ciaramitaro

In this powerful episode of Heroic Stories, Jeff Joaquin shares his raw and emotional journey from a life of addiction, idolatry, and despair to a profound encounter with God's mercy.

A cocaine-induced heart attack at age 24 became the turning point, compelling him to call out to Jesus Christ in desperation.Through the sacrament of general confession, Jeff experienced the life-changing power of God's forgiveness, transforming his brokenness into a message of hope for others. Now a devoted husband, father, and faith-filled speaker, Jeff uses his past to inspire men to leave sin behind, embrace vulnerability, and rediscover their purpose in Christ.From near-death experiences to saving lives by sharing his testimony, Jeff's story is a testament to the power of redemption and the infinite mercy of God.
