<h3 style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">Jesus tells us, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven… For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be”&nbsp;(Matthew 6:19-21). Almsgiving, then, is more than simple generosity—it’s a reordering of the heart. It’s the recognition of a deeper truth: everything we have is a gift from God.</h3>

How God Grows His Kingdom

While the demands of leadership are the same in every context, the way we approach leadership can be different.  A Christian leader leads differently than his secular counterpart.  From visioning an idea to implementing a strategy, through carrying out and executing a plan, a Christian leader simply leads, frankly, differently.  In this first of a six part series I examine the difference that the Christian spirit demonstrates in leadership.  I attempt to answer the question, “What difference does it make if I believe?”

DGT Episode 180 - A Different Kind Of Spirit - The Difference Christ Makes Part 1

John Bishop joins the BeatiDudes for a rich and hilarious conversation on masculinity, fatherhood, formation, and the urgent need for men to step into their God-given mission. Alongside Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein, John shares his journey from Iowa to seminary, Baylor, Catholic University, and FOCUS, eventually leading to his doctoral work on John Paul II’s thought and the development of what he calls a more complete vision of the “masculine genius.”
From there, the conversation turns toward John’s current work through Forge, a ministry focused on building small groups of fathers and helping men become more fully alive as Catholics. The episode explores why investing in dads has such a powerful ripple effect on marriages, children, and even future generations. John also unpacks the crisis of absent men in the life of the Church, the importance of men leading with conviction, and why faithful fatherhood may be one of the most important leverage points for renewal in our culture.
The heart of the episode lands on a challenging and deeply practical insight: so many of the wounds in family life and culture trace back to the silence of men. John reflects on Adam’s failure to protect, the call of fathers to affirm identity, and the way humor, fraternity, and authentic brotherhood can help men break out of shame and become who they were made to be. It is thoughtful, convicting, and full of classic Tiny Table chaos, including pig jokes, name riffs, and one very BeatiDudes ending.

Forging Masculinity | John Bishop | Episode #313

Reflection: Joseph's trials&mdash;poverty, flight, loss&mdash;built his endurance. Fortitude strengthens resolve against fear, even unto death for a just cause. It is essential for Christian men facing worldly pressures. Daily Challenge: Endure a personal trial (e.g., fasting from a habit) and offer it for the Church's renewal. Prayer: St. Joseph, man of endurance, fortify me to stand firm in trials.

Day 4  Fortitude in Adversity | Bishop Scott

He played hockey growing up and then went on to not only play junior hockey in Dallas for the Texas Tornado, but from there earned a D1 athletic scholarship to Niagara University. During his freshman year at Niagara, he and two teammates set an NCAA record and made number 2 on SportsCenter's Top 10 when they scored three shorthanded goals on one penalty, in 69 seconds. He still today plays in a weekly men's league hockey game. He is the author of the best-selling memoir, "Saving Sam," about his having been taken hostage and wrongfully imprisoned while in Syria, as part of his travels to every country in the world - all 193 United Nations Sovereign States, having attended Mass in 65 countries and visited Catholic churches in approximately 115. Listen as he mentions having even coached hockey in North Korea!

CSR 376 Sam Goodwin

This story is said to represent Jesus’ unconditional love for us that we should also have for each other. Some Christians would say that, since we are all sinners, no matter what a loved one does we should embrace his every action with acceptance and joy. Anything less than that—for example, the rejection of an immoral “alternative” lifestyle choice—is viewed as a rejection of the whole person. Such rejection is then described as “intolerance” and “hate.” Deacon Harold expands today's topic and also looks at Soulful Psalm 44:10-17

Tolerance

Reflection: Joseph's integrity shone in trials. Heroic justice speaks truth boldly. Daily Challenge: Speak an uncomfortable truth charitably. Prayer: St. Joseph, truthful man, arm me with honesty.

Day 24 Justice in Truth Telling | Eric Myatt

The life of King Solomon provides many inspiring examples for leaders to follow.  At the same time it details some of the warning signs for Christian leaders to avoid.  In this final segment of our treatment of his life we look at the legacy that his choices left.  It’s a good way for us to remember the legacy that our own choices will leave behind us.  Leadership just like anything else is not just about what happens now but about how what we do now will impact generations to come.

DGT Episode 350 - Solomon's Legacy - King Solomon Part 7

Good Friday is the Friday on which the Church keeps the anniversary of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ & Holy Saturday is when The assembled faithful gave themselves up to common prayer, the singing of psalms and hymns, and the reading of the Scriptures commentated by the bishop or priests. Deacon Harold prepares for Easter Weekend today as we look into Good Friday & Holy Saturday as well as look at Jesus' prayer from Psalm 22.

Reflection: Joseph's mercy toward Mary's mystery prefigures Christ's. Fortitude enables forgiving as God forgives. Daily Challenge: Forgive an offense; reconcile if possible. Prayer: St. Joseph, merciful heart, grant me pardon. (encourage going to confession)

Day 17 Heroic Forgiveness | Jeff Joaquin

Why do some men collapse under pressure while others stand firm in the middle of chaos?In this episode of The Manly Catholic, we confront a hard truth most men avoid. The battle is not about motivation, knowledge, or even effort. It is about authority. Welcome to Part-6 of our Spiritual Warfare Series! This episode exposes the real reason men lose ground in spiritual warfare. It is not because the enemy is stronger. It is because men are divided, disordered, and living outside of grace.When a man is not aligned with Christ, he cannot lead, protect, or stand. If you are a husband, father, or man striving for holiness, this is not optional listening.In this episode, you will learn:<ul><li>Why confession is the foundation of spiritual authority</li><li>How sin weakens your leadership in your home</li><li>What exorcists look for before any deliverance begins</li><li>Why prayer alone is not enough without order and obedience</li><li>The exact reason some men stand while others fall</li></ul>Put your life in order. Return to grace. Take your place as a man under Christ.3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>“Most men think the battle is about what they say. The Church teaches it is about what they are.”</li><li>“Grace does not cooperate with rebellion.”</li><li>“A man cannot ask God to strengthen him while he refuses to obey Him.”</li></ol>ACT IMMEDIATELY: Go to confession without delay. Stop carrying sin into battle. You cannot stand in authority if you are not in a state of grace.End Show Notes:Thank you for your prayers and support!Consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" target="_blank">https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc</a>Subscribe to our YouTube page: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxrRLZNk4WqPdgcac5vuWEQ" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxrRLZNk4WqPdgcac5vuWEQ</a>Check out our website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.themanlycatholic.com" target="_blank">www.themanlycatholic.com</a>Get delicious coffee from <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.mysticmonkcoffee.com/" target="_blank">Mystic Monk Coffee</a>Download <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tanbooks.com/tan-digital-app/?gc_id=10316277314&amp;h_ad_id=730848595836&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=10316277314&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADyykAw8cjT8cwMkHiSUzyTvbqMfV&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw7IjOBhDyARIsAFzrWQwLqzUPSyzh51ioJE2M6T4ZtxE4jGp-MPw_iYtabPtqFPRyxiUpCMsaAqkMEALw_wcB#plans" target="_blank">TAN Digital </a>to access the incredible TAN Library.

Ep 195 - Why Some Men Fall and Others Stand: The Authority You’re Ignoring

Silas Mahner returns to the Tiny Table with the BeatiDudes for a lively Friday conversation full of big laughs, surprisingly deep questions, and a few strong breakfast-food opinions. Silas joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein as they trade updates on what they are excited about right now, from family milestones and comedy work with the Texas Rangers to Jeff’s upcoming trip to the Fearless Congress in Guadalajara. Silas also shares the joyful news that he and his wife are expecting their second child, which naturally leads the table into jokes about family size, “family buffering,” and the dangers of looking up obscure pregnancy facts. 
The conversation takes a meaningful turn when Jeff asks everyone to name two specific things they hope people say at their funeral. The answers reveal the heart behind the humor: a desire to be remembered for great faith, loving God with everything, being pro-life for all of life, bringing others closer to God, and leaving nothing in reserve. From there, the group reflects on defining life moments, including apparent failures, unexpected providence, consequences that became graces, and the mysterious way God prepares the future long before we can see it. Silas shares how a chain of unlikely events led from Wisconsin to New York City, then to meeting and marrying his wife from Uganda, giving him a deeper trust that God is always arranging what we cannot yet understand. 
The episode wraps with a lighter round on favorite breakfast foods, including biscuits and gravy, breakfast burritos, chocolate croissants, crispy bacon, over-medium eggs, and hash browns. Somewhere between funeral virtues and breakfast tacos, the BeatiDudes find the sweet spot of this Friday format: friendship, faith, absurdity, and the reminder that God is at work in both the major pivots and the small, hilarious details of life.

Day 13 Justice in Relationships | Michael Gormley, TMIY

The foundation of the family is built upon a strong marriage. Our job as parents is to help lay a strong foundation for our children, not to build the house. Deacon Harold explores where Catholic Education truly begins, in the Home!  Also looking into the Soulful Psalms with Psalm 127.

In the life of every leader there is the thought of doing great things.  There is the hope that what we do will really make an impact in the world.  We need to also see the importance of the ordinary and that God does his most extraordinary things when the leader is faithful to ordinary circumstances.  This is what St. Joseph shows us in his life.

DGT Episode 6 - St. Joseph and The Glory Of The Ordinary - St. Joseph Part 5

Dave DiNuzzo Sr. of TrueManhood Catholic Men's Ministry joins Drew Taylor to discuss his guide to virtue.  Dave has been studying masculinity and how to grow in virtue for years. You can download his free guide here ➡️ https://www.truemanhood.com/what-we-do/resources/guide-to-virtue

Masculinity has to do with who we are as men as adopted sons of God. Either a man is being masculine, or he's being childish.  What makes a man masculine is the virtues.  When we act the way we are created to act and do the best we can, we are able to love - which is, "to will the good of the other."  Dave and Drew discuss what is love and what is chastity really all about? The world says being a man means taking as much as possible for ourselves.  But that's not what Jesus showed us on the Cross!  Do you want to find yourself, then give yourself!  "With virtue, we can fight the little tendencies we have, but it can also fight the big vices."  The opposite of virtue is vice. Whatever the struggle is, name it and then find the virtue that is the opposite.  

The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines virtue in paragraph 1803 as: “The habitual and firm disposition to do the good, which allows a man not only to perform good acts but to give the best of himself.”

The Cardinal Virtues: Prudence, Justice, Temperance, Fortitude

TrueManhood's Guide for How to Grow in Virtue with Dave DiNuzzo

In this episode, Deacon speaks with Rachael Isaac, a former competitive figure skater turned sports and performance psychologist at CatholicCounselors.com. Rachael shares how the intense pressures of figure skating led her to specialize in helping athletes, executives, and high-performers overcome perfectionism, anxiety, and burnout by building true confidence rooted in faith, discerning God's call, and re-aligning pursuits with meaningful "why" questions inspired by St. Ignatius. The conversation explores practical ways to pursue excellence with peace, challenge unhealthy expectations, and integrate personal gifts, faith, and mission for lasting fulfillment.catholiccounselors.com@catholiccounselors@rachel_isaac_coaching

Balancing Performance and Pressure... How to be peak in sports, business and life | Rachael Isaac

Fans taking sports too seriously. Parents being WAY too involved in their son or daughter's sports. Superstitions that fans carry out. Sports betting.

What happens when a single phone call sends your life in a completely different direction? In The Call That Sent Him to Iraq (And Changed His Faith), Tom Pazili shares the moment he was asked to deploy to Iraq as a civilian advisor immediately after the war&mdash;and the prayer, fear, and faith that followed.
This conversation explores what it means to live a mission-focused life when everything in you wants comfort and certainty. Tom recounts leaving behind safety to step into a war zone with no military training, trusting that the call to serve something greater was worth the risk. From surviving rocket attacks to attending Mass inside Saddam Hussein&rsquo;s palace, his story reveals how moments of danger and uncertainty can deepen faith in ways ordinary life never could.
But the story doesn&rsquo;t end there. Tom also shares another life-altering decision&mdash;leaving New York with his family during COVID after his wife lost her job over a religious vaccine objection. Faced with uprooting their entire life, they chose faith over comfort and stepped into the unknown once again.
Along the way, Tom reflects on the importance of being mission-focused, the heroes who shaped him&mdash;from St. Thomas More to John Paul II&mdash;and why modern men must rediscover purpose, courage, and trust in God.

The Call That Sent Him to Iraq (And Changed His Faith) | Tom Basile | Ep 8

What if your worst moment is actually your turning point?
This story dives into the hidden power of failure, guilt, and suffering&mdash;and how they can become the foundation for a completely transformed life. From a rebellious young man spiraling into trouble to a life-altering courtroom decision that could have destroyed his future, this journey explores the moment where truth demanded action&hellip; no matter the cost.
At the heart of it all is a quiet, unwavering example: a father who endured ridicule, loss, and isolation&mdash;yet never compromised his faith. That silent witness became the seed of something far greater, proving that real heroism isn&rsquo;t loud or flashy&mdash;it&rsquo;s consistent, sacrificial, and often unseen.
Through stories of risk, redemption, and radical honesty, this video wrestles with a powerful question: what happens when you stop running from truth and choose it, even when it hurts?
Because sometimes, the moment that feels like the end&hellip; is actually the beginning of everything.

How to be Perfect as the Heavenly Father is Perfect w/ Fr. Angelus Montgomery, CFR

Jesus has naturally been a key person of interest for Western thought, but over the last few hundred years, there have been some major shifts in what scholars describe as the "quest for the historical Jesus." Bishop Barron provides an overview of these developments and the problematic attempt to separate the "Jesus of history" from the "Christ of Faith." A listener asks what Bishop Barron would say about Jesus walking on water.

There are so many things that we can experience that might make us feel like we are alone- the loss of a loved one, personal failure, abandonment by friends or family, and so much more. Reflecting on St. Catherine of Sienna, Jon Leonetti reminds us that God is closer to us than we can even imagine. Find some time in your week to be with the Lord by reading scripture, going to daily mass or praying in adoration.  God is closer than you think!

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. Hollywood is not known for being friendly to Christianity in general or Catholicism in particular, especially nowadays; unfortunately, there is no shortage of storylines and characters that mock and even demonize believers. At the same time, however, whenever the film industry wishes to depict a "religious looking" scene or add a transcendent element to the plot, it frequently employs Catholic architecture, Catholic sacramentals, and even Catholic priests to do so. What should we make of this ambivalence to the faith? What does Hollywood get wrong, and what, perhaps to our surprise, does Hollywood get right about Catholicism and the priesthood? What do these portrayals tell us more broadly about potential openness within the entertainment industry to God's existence, the divinity of Christ, good and evil, and life after death? Here to take a look at some pivotal classic and contemporary films that prominently feature Catholicism and Catholic priests, with an eye to unpacking their significance for the wider entertainment culture, is Bishop Robert Barron.

"For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit." - John 3:34It's important for us to remember the great things that God has done for us. Often we become consumed with our daily struggles and forget all that that Lord has done. We may also only focus on God not doing what we want of him. One of the blessings of the Holy Spirit is that the Spirit reminds us what Jesus said and what he has done for us. There is no limit to what God has done or what he desires to do in our lives.<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>

She claims today's Americans are embracing a kaleidoscopic panoply of spiritual traditions, rituals, and subcultures, from astrology and witchcraft to SoulCycle and the alt-right. In search of the deep and the real, they are finding meaning, purpose, ritual, and communities in ever-newer, ever-stranger ways.

How did Jesus Christ form his apostles to be bold proclaimers of His word?  One way was by sending them where they thought they could never go – into the darkness and into fearful places armed with nothing more than his word and the powers of His priesthood.  And yet they were not alone.  In fact he promised that he would be with them always.  Doesn’t he do the same with us today?  In this final segment of our ten part series we look at the way he formed his apostles to understand how he trains us for leadership today.

Nathan Crankfield exposes how the modern obsession with poverty or prosperity isn&#39;t the Christian virtue it’s often claimed to be, but instead a balance rooted in love, stewardship, and purpose. In this compelling episode, Nathan rewires your perspective on money by breaking down the myth that humility or ambition alone define a virtuous life. You&#39;ll discover why true Christian wealth isn’t about accumulation or self-denial but about purposefully aligning your finances with your calling. We dive into the “virtue of the mean”, a concept from Aristotle through Aquinas, explaining how virtue with money exists in a healthy middle ground: provision as an act of love, not a pursuit of status or avoidance of responsibility. Nathan shares real-life examples about the risks of both making money an idol or treating it as inherently suspect, and how spiritualized poverty can undermine your family’s well-being.

Poverty Is Not A Christian Virtue
