Stand with Heroic Men: https://heroicmen.org | Visit: https://www.alisonarmstrong.com | What does it mean to say that &ldquo;the soul of a man is a hero&rdquo;? Alison Armstrong joins Dominic de Souza from Heroic Men to explore the hidden pressures men carry, the meaning of sacrifice, the burden of caring deeply, and why men so often need their lives to matter in a concrete way.&nbsp;
Drawing from 35 years of studying men, Alison reflects on &ldquo;the ever-presence of death,&rdquo; the shame honorable men feel when they fall short, and the surprising connection between purpose, brotherhood, prayer, and masculine identity. What happens when men are seen with admiration, understood with compassion, and called back to the heroism already written into our souls.
What You&rsquo;ll Learn
✅ Why Alison Armstrong says men live with &ldquo;the ever-presence of death&rdquo; ✅ How shame can reveal an honorable man ✅ Why caring may cost men more than women realize ✅ How prayer, brotherhood, and outreach can rebuild men&rsquo;s lives

It is time to stop fighting like amateurs and start waging spiritual war like soldiers. In this powerful episode of The Manly Catholic, James sits down with Dr. Dan Schneider, a frequent flier (no pun intended) combat veteran, theologian, and co-author of <a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/spiritual-warfare-q-and-a-for-priests-and-laity/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Spiritual Warfare and Q&amp;A for the Priest and Laity</a> to expose the real strategies of the enemy and the ancient weapons every man must wield to defend his home, his wife, and his children.You’ll learn:<ul><li>How prayer, fasting, and vigils are the “ancient weapons” that defeat an ancient enemy.</li><li>The true difference between power and authority</li><li>How to protect your home</li><li>Why humility and obedience are the most dangerous weapons against the devil.</li><li>How Mary, the Queen of Heaven and the Destroyer of All Heresies, terrifies demons by her very presence.</li></ul>Dr. Dan’s message is clear: you are the spiritual head of your household, and the enemy knows it. Stop acting like a passive observer while your family is under attack. Take up your weapons. Impose order. Fast. Pray. Consecrate your home. Engage the battle.The Challenge: This week, every Catholic man must bless his home, pray a perimeter prayer before bed, and consecrate his family to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Order begins when the man takes his rightful place as protector and provider.References:<ul><li><a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/spiritual-warfare-q-and-a-for-priests-and-laity/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Spiritual Warfare &amp; Q&amp;A for the Priest and Laity </a>by Dr. Dan Schneider and Jesse Romero</li><li><a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/the-liber-christo-method-a-field-manual-for-spiritual-combat/?revpage=2%20&amp;gc_id=10316277314&amp;h_ad_id=730848595836&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=10316277314&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADyykAxTlTMyi9OL5XjxL41Viootp&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwsPzHBhDCARIsALlWNG3LCF6josS0KgekUUx4_oVWQKsCGaeqa3vCIlLZNDGXcgbjN5B75yEaAqBTEALw_wcB" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Liber Christo Method </a> by Dr. Dan Schneider</li><li><a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/true-devotion-to-mary-with-preparation-for-total-consecration/?srsltid=AfmBOoq9VCLWUCLwHp6pc9g6cRssSdpv0dmsdebqCm73nhJ-pqDlPIoj" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">True Devotion to Mary</a> by St. Louis de Montfort</li><li><a href="https://ignatius.com/to-raise-the-fallen-trtfp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">To Raise the </a></li></ul><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 172 - Ancient Weapons for an Ancient Enemy: Spiritual Warfare with Dr. Dan Schneider

What if reality is way more loaded than it looks? We're walking through life seeing maybe 1% of what&rsquo;s actually happening, and the rest is this massive, invisible layer of meaning and grace you&rsquo;ve been trained to ignore. As men, we've been given a world that is alive with God, and our job is to notice it, work with it, and turn it into something better. &nbsp;
In 'Mind of Christ for Men' Part 2, we talk about wave offerings in Sacred Scripture, Spider-Man, grafted trees, infinite games, and more. It all collides into one idea, sacramental imagination. It's the Catholic vision that everyday life, work, fatherhood, suffering, beauty, and action can all become an offering back to God.&nbsp;
What You&rsquo;ll Learn ✅ What &ldquo;sacramental imagination&rdquo; means in real life ✅ Why glory means becoming what God made you to be ✅ How gratitude changes the way men work, lead, and love ✅ Why daily life can become an offering back to God
TIMESTAMPS 00:00 The Mind of Christ: Sacramental Imagination 03:38 What sacramental imagination means 05:14 Imagination beyond the five senses 07:49 Sacraments and spiritual state change 09:33 How your worldview shapes action 13:27 The strange meaning of wave offering 16:38 Turning God&rsquo;s gifts into offering 18:56 Talents, pressure, and calling 25:15 Whatever you do for God&rsquo;s glory 27:53 What glory actually means 31:03 Why being itself glorifies God 36:25 Childhood, play, and purpose 39:49 Becoming a sacrament in the world 41:06 The infinite game of manhood 46:54 Gratitude and receiving goodness 50:45 Bringing the conversation home 52:46 The sign of the cross and reality

WHAT YOU&rsquo;LL LEARN ✅ Why God keeps forming men through grace ✅ How comfort can weaken spiritual growth ✅ Why comparison should point men toward the saints ✅ How confession, the rosary, Scripture, Mass, and prayer guard the soul &nbsp; 00:00 Marcus Peter returns 05:30 Giving burdens to Jesus 14:35 The spiritual war 17:50 Six weapons for battle 27:07 All or nothing for Christ 31:04 Final Challenge

Humility gives us the wisdom to understand our strengths and weaknesses (or talents and non-talents) so that we can use our own gifts for the glory of God and recognize the contribution of others.

Who Was Martin Luther?

Brothers, what if the man who never spoke a word in Scripture was the ultimate warrior you’ve been missing? Join us on The Manly Catholic for a gripping Lenten reflection with guest Joe Valentic, founder of Catholic Curator. Today, we’re spotlighting St. Joseph—not with an official title, but one he earns: warrior. Not with a sword, but with grit, trust, and a head on a swivel. If you’re ready to fight the real battles in your life like Joseph did, hit play and let’s get moving.Joe paints Joseph as a special forces operative for God—quiet, steady, relentless. From shielding Mary during her pregnancy to trekking to Bethlehem and fleeing to Egypt, he tackled missions with no fanfare, just faith. This episode isn’t about flexing muscles; it’s about the daily grind of living for your family, staying vigilant against the devil’s snares—like porn, laziness, or excess—and stepping up when it counts. Joe’s got 33 years as a husband, father, and entrepreneur, and he’s here to show us how Joseph’s example hits home for every man.Your challenge: Keep Your Head on a Swivel. Pick one subtle temptation in your life—scrolling too much, skipping prayer, overindulging—and crush it today. Swap it for a prayer or a moment of focus on your family. Write it down, act on it. Optimized for men seeking authentic Catholic masculinity, this episode’s a wake-up call.

Day 7 - St. Joseph: The Quiet Soldier Ready to Fight

Does Christ’s Resurrection ignite your soul? In this Easter Sunday homily, Fr. Dom proclaims the victory of Jesus over death: a real, historical event that demands you live differently. From the empty tomb to the Shroud of Turin’s mysterious radiation, Fr. Dom reveals the Resurrection’s power and challenges you to embrace it every day. Be a warrior for Christ: let the Eucharist transform you and build God’s kingdom. Powerful Quotes from the Homily:  <ol><li>“Every day is a resurrection day. Every day is full of joy and peace and gladness if you want it.”  </li><li>“What we celebrate here is Jesus Christ conquering death that has a grip on our soul.”  </li><li>“The image found is limited to the very topmost fibers suggesting that radiation was involved in its creation.”</li></ol>Key Takeaway for Men: Embrace the resurrection daily by receiving the Eucharist and letting Christ transform your heart, mind, and body to build His kingdom with zeal and courage. <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!

How Fr. Scott Became a Catholic Priest After Years of Research and Evangelicalism | Guest Fr. Scott Jablonski

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

Leadership Where it Matters Most

Men, do you ever feel like your faith and career are worlds apart? What if succeeding in business could actually lead you to sainthood? In this episode of The Manly Catholic, I talk with Joe Valentic, Catholic entrepreneur and author, about blending professional ambition with spiritual growth. Joe shares his journey from cradle Catholic to faith-integrated leader, revealing how saints like St. Josemaria Escriva inspired him to view work as a path to holiness. We explore practical ways to invite God into your daily grind, from strategic prayer to discerning your gifts. As men called to lead, Joe challenges you to pray a 54-day novena to St. Raphael the Archangel for business discernment—starting today, even if you're unsure what to ask. Whether you're an executive, entrepreneur, or blue-collar worker, this conversation equips you to build success that honors God, strengthens your family, and advances the Church. Hit play to transform how you approach work and faith.

Give Up Worrying | Gary Zimak | R4H

Do you want to be great in life? If so, you know that every day you are surrounded by mediocrity. Most people are aimlessly wandering through life, numbing themselves from the pain of the reality they are living lives of quiet desperation.&nbsp;
But perhaps you want more. Maybe you want to see what life is like at the heights as you strive to get the most out of life. If so, this is the podcast for you!&nbsp;
Seeking Excellence is a lifestyle of extreme ownership and intentional living that demands courage, resilience, and mental toughness.&nbsp;

Seeking Excellence

This weekly podcast series hosted by Sean Lynn invites you to his distinctively Irish Canadian Pub studio in sharing A Dram with Friends where we talk about faith, family, food and fun. Pull up a chair and Sean will pour you a drink of his, or your, favourite Whiskey. Distilled alcohol in Latin is ‘aqua vitae’, water of life. The Latin translates in Gaelic to ‘usisge beatha’, also water of life. Whisky is therefore water of life. Jesus would give you living water if you ask (Jn 4:10) and He later says: “Let anyone who thirsts come to me and drink.” Join Sean for A Dram with Friends.

Manhood

Imagine being woken in the dead of night by an angel, urgency ringing in your ears: "Get up, take your wife and child, and flee—someone’s coming to kill your son." That’s the reality Saint Joseph faced. As we journey through Lent with Saint Joseph, this episode dives deep into his title "Joseph Most Strong"—a man whose strength wasn’t just in his carpenter’s hands but in his unshakable resolve to protect his family and trust God when the world turned dark. This isn’t a dusty saint story; it’s a raw, human look at what real strength means for us men today—and how we can live it out.I’ll walk you through Joseph’s life—his response to Mary’s pregnancy, his midnight trek to a hostile land—and ask: What would you do? When fear hits—flee, fight, freeze, or fawn—where do you land? Joseph didn’t panic; he moved. And that’s our cue. Today, strength might mean standing up for truth when the room’s against you or pushing past exhaustion for your family. It’s not about never feeling scared—it’s about leaning on God and acting anyway.Here’s your challenge, men: hit the gym today. Not for vanity, but because your body’s a gift from God, a temple of the Holy Spirit. No more "dad bod" excuses—I’ve got four kids and sleep deprivation too, but we’re called to be warriors for Christ. Lift something, sweat, take care of what He gave you. Pair that with a moment of prayer, asking Joseph to guide you into his kind of strength—physical and spiritual. This episode isn’t just talk; it’s a call to do. Push play, reflect, and step up.Products and References Mentioned<ul><li>Buy Me a Coffee Page: Support the podcast financially at <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/TMC" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">buymeacoffee.com/TMC</a>.</li><li>Social Media: Follow The Manly Catholic on X (Twitter) for updates.</li><li>Email: Reach out at themanlycatholic@gmail.com.</li><li>YouTube: Subscribe to the channel for video content.</li><li>Scripture Reference: Psalm 27:14 – "Wait for the Lord, be strong and let your heart take courage."</li></ul>3 Powerful Quotes<ol><li>"Strength isn’t just about lifting heavy loads...

Day 15 - Joseph Most Strong: Unleashing True Courage in Crisis

The Chair of St. Peter is empty, the world is watching, and the Church is praying. 
In this episode of They That Hope, Father Dave and Deacon Bob reflect on the death of Pope Francis and the moving events surrounding his funeral in Rome. From the emotional procession through the streets—past landmarks like the Colosseum and the TOR friars’ house—to the intimate ceremony at St. Mary Major, they recount moments that highlighted the late Holy Father’s love for the poor and his devotion to simplicity. 
With the conclave just days away, the hosts also look ahead to what’s next for the Church. Will we see the first Italian pope in nearly 50 years? What does the increasingly global College of Cardinals mean for the future of the papacy? And what role does the Holy Spirit truly play in the selection of a pope? 
Of course, it wouldn’t be They That Hope without a few tangents—this week includes Deacon Bob’s snowy NBA playoff experience in Cleveland (Cavalanche!), draft-day drama from the NFL, and the 20th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith (yes, Bob saw it in theaters—no, he didn’t wear a Jedi robe... but he wanted to). 
They also reflect on the feast of St. Joseph the Worker and its bold stand against communist ideology, the forgotten value of learning for its own sake, and the cultural obsession with work and identity. 
As the Church prays “Come, Holy Spirit” over the conclave, Father Dave and Deacon Bob invite listeners to join in hope—and in prayer for whoever the next successor of Peter will be. 
 
Highlighted sections 
(00:00) Cavalanche! NBA Playoffs and Draft Drama  
Deacon Bob kicks things off with tales from a <a href='https://www.nba.com/cavaliers'>Cleveland Cavaliers</a> playoff game—complete with fake snow and “Cavalanche” chants. The duo also dives into the <a href='https://www.nfl.com/draft/'>NFL Draft</a>: its surprising popularity, emotional player stories, and one disturbing prank call that made national news. 
(17:37) Star Wars Nostalgia and the Return of the Sith  
Deacon Bob celebrates <a href='https://www.fandango.com/star-wars-episode-iii-revenge-of-the-sith-20th-anniversary-re-release-2025-239973/movie-overview'>Revenge of the Sith's 20th anniversary</a> with a trip to the theater, reflecting on movie memories, lightsaber-worthy soundtracks, and how the prequels might’ve aged better than expected—at least compared to the sequels. 
(22:03) Farewell, Holy Father: Remembering Pope Francis  
Father Dave shares moving moments from <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKCrieyrgaE'>Pope Francis’ funeral and procession through Rome</a>—from the Popemobile carrying the casket past the Colosseum to the tender welcome from the poor outside <a href='https://www.basilicasantamariamaggiore.va/en.html'>St. Mary Major</a>. The hosts reflect on the pope’s legacy of humility and love for the marginalized. 
(25:32) What Comes Next: The Conclave and the Future of the Papacy  
As the cardinals prepare to elect the next pope, Father Dave and Deacon Bob discuss possible frontrunners, the global diversity of the College of Cardinals, and how the Holy Spirit works through discernment—not magic. And yes, there are betting odds. 
(29:05) The Holiness of Work: St. Joseph and Vocation  
In honor of the <a href='https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-of-the-day/saint-joseph-the-worker/'>Feast of St. Joseph the Worker</a>, the hosts explore the Church’s response to communist ideology, the dignity of labor, and the need to recover the joy of learning and working for its own sake. 
(34:12) May the Fourth and Prayers for the Church  
As Star Wars Day approaches, the hosts wrap with light-hearted banter and a heartfelt prayer for the conclave—entrusting the Church once more to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

All Bob’s Fault

Fatherhood changes history. Hyperbole? At first glance, maybe. But when you think about it and especially after you listen to this episode, you realize it is not hyperbolic at all.  When fathers are present, active, and putting their families first, our culture thrives. Lately, fathers have become lazy and allowed the culture to dictate to them how to run their lives. Men, enough is enough. Listen now to discover how Our Lady of Seven Sorrows has easily become one of James' new favorites and why Father Dom thinks men have no excuses to pray the Rosary (including a special offer just for our listeners!). James' Challenge: I must admit, I am stealing this one from Dr. Taylor Marshall. Pray the Rosary every day or you or not on the team! I love that line. Our Blessed Mother Mary instructed us to pray the Rosary every day. Who are we to deny our Holy Mother?

Be a Man! with Fr Larry Richards 

Marriage has the power to get you to heaven or be a constant source of frustration and confusion.

Underpinned with a delicate balance of smoke and sweet vanilla from the ex-American oak casks, this single malt has spent just 5 years in contact with fresh first fill wood. The presence of peat on the palate is huge, and yet is incredibly balanced with clean fruit and floral notes. Distilled in 2014 from the 2013 harvest of 100% Scottish barley then filled into active ex-American oak, this high provenance, high peat single malt is a fitting embodiment of how quality ingredients demand less time to reach maturity.About our gear:<a href="https://thecatholicmanshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/in-tune-with-the-world.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://thecatholicmanshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/in-tune-with-the-world-194x300.jpg" height="300" width="194"></a>In this stimulating and still-timely study, Josef Pieper takes up a theme of paramount importance to his thinking – that festivals belong by rights among the great topics of philosophical discussion. As he develops his theory of festivity, the modern age comes under close and painful scrutiny. It is obvious that we no longer know what festivity is, namely, the celebration of existence under various symbolsPieper exposes the pseudo-festivals, in their harmless and their sinister forms: traditional feasts contaminated by commercialism; artificial holidays created in the interest of merchandisers; holidays by coercion, decreed by dictators the world over; festivals as military demonstrations; holidays empty of significance. And lastly we are given the apocalyptic vision of a nihilistic world which would seek its release not in festivities but in destruction.Formulated with Pieper's customary clarity and elegance, enhanced by brilliantly chosen quotations, this is an illuminating contribution to the understanding of traditional and contemporary experience.About the Topic:- Festivals can only arise from a working day (fast before the feast).- It has to be leisurely - a realm of activity that is meaningful in itself.- Ingredients of a festival: - Play or leisurely - Contemplation (“the simple intuition of reason. The mind’s eye resting on whatever manifests itself.”) - Phenomenon of wealth (Existential richness - aka abundance) - Affirmation - (Pieper says affirmation is the substance of festivity.) Festivals are impossible to the “naysayers”. The more money he has, and above all the more leisure, the more desperate is this impossibility to him. - Joy (Joy is the response of a love receiving what he loves). A festival becomes a true festivity only when man affirms the goodness of his existence by offering a response of joy.&nbsp; - In concrete form. In reality. - Public in nature; affairs of the communityQUOTES FROM THE BOOK:“A festival can arise only out of the foundation of a life whose ordinary shape is given by the working day.”“Man understands the work and accepts it for what it really is, namely, the “tilling of the field” which always includes both happiness and toil, satisfaction as well as sweat of the brow, joy as well as the consumption of vital energy. If one element in these pairs is suppressed, the reality of work is falsified and festivity is ruled out.”“To celebrate a festival means to do to do something which is in no way tied to other goals, which has been removed from all “so that” and “in order to.” True festivity cannot be imagined as residing anywhere but in the realm of activity that is meaningful in itself.”“In fact a real festival can scarcely be conceived unless the ingredient of play has entered into it.”&nbsp;“The concept of festivity is inconceivable without an element of contemplation. This does not mean exerting the argumentative intellect, but the simple intuition of reason; not the unrest of thought, but the mind’s eye resting on whatever manifests itself."“This is that life above all others which man should live, in the contemplation of divine beauty; this makes man immortal.” - Plato“A festival is essentially a phenomenon of wealth; not, to be sure, the wealth of money, but of existential richness.”“Festivity is joy and nothing else.” “Where love rejoices, there is festivity.” - both quotes from Chrysostom.“Joy is the response of a lover receiving what he loves.”&nbsp;On Memorial Days:“Memorial Days are not in themselves festival days. Strictly speaking, the past cannot be celebrated festively unless the celebrant community still draws glory and exaltation from that past, not merely as reflected history, but by virtue of a historical reality still operative in the present.”“Nevertheless, it remains the sole foundation for festivity, no matter what happens to be celebrated in concerto. An as the radical nature of negation deepens, and consequently as anything but ultimate arguments becomes ineffectual, it becomes more necessary to refer to this ultimate foundation. By ultimate foundation I mean the conviction that the prime festive occasion, which alone can ultimately justify all celebration, really exists; that to, reduce it to the most concise phrase, at bottom everything that is, is good, and it is good to exist. For man cannot have the experience of receiving what is loved, unless the world and existence as a whole represent something good and therefore beloved to him.”“Festivity is impossible to the naysayer. The more money he has, and above all the more leisure, the more desperate is this impossibility to him.”“Festivity lives on affirmation. Even celebrations for the dead, All Souls and Good Friday, can never be truly celebrated except on the basis of faith that all is well with the world and life as a whole.”“A festival becomes true festivity only when man affirms the goodness of his existence by offering the response of joy.”“Strictly speaking, however, it is insufficient to call affirmation of the world a mere prerequisite and premise for festivity. In fact it is far more; it is the substance of festivity. Festivity, in its essential core, is nothing but the living out of this affirmation.”&nbsp;“To celebrate a festival means to live out, for some special occasion and in an uncommon manner, the universal assent to the world as a whole.”Broken up in 3 parts:1. There can be no more radical assent to the world than the praise of God, the lauding of the Creator of this same world.2. The ritual festival is the most festive form that festivity can possibly take.3. There can be no deadlier, more ruthless destruction of festivity than refusal of ritual praise.&nbsp;“In order for a festival to emerge out of human efforts, something divine must be added, which alone makes possible the otherwise impossible.”When a festival goes as it should, men receive something that it is not in human power to give. This is the by now almost forgotten reason for the age-old custom of men wishing one another well on great festival days….but the real thing we are wishing is the “success” of the festive celebration itself, not just its outer forms and enrichments, bot the trimmings, but the gift that is meant to be the true fruit of the festival: Renewal, transformation, rebirth. Nowadays, to be sure, all this can barely be sensed behind the trite formula: “Happy Holidays.”“Festivals are public by nature; they are affairs of the community" The Catholic Woodworker:Check out The Catholic Woodworker’s&nbsp;<a href="https://catholicwoodworker.com/collections/home-altars" target="_blank">home altars</a>.

Gospel of Work

Have you all tried to ask for a raise? Maybe you have played sports in the past and had a big competition on the horizon? Or maybe you were actually in the military on deployment. Whatever the case might be, you prepared for it, didn’t you? You studied your competition. What makes them tick? What are their strengths? What are their weaknesses? How can I come out on top?You knew your enemy. Now, of course, your boss isn’t your enemy. Nor is the other team or competition you faced. The actual enemy, is Satan. Whether you know it or not, Satan is coming for you. There is a competition for your soul between Jesus and the devil. “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither yourself or the enemy, you will succumb in every battle.” In this episode, we talk about Satan. In episodes 16 and 17, we talk about Spiritual Warfare and in Episode 44 we talked about Satan’s 5 Generals. Keep listening to hear about the true enemy and why knowing him makes a whole lot more sense when looking at what is going on in the world today. Fr. Dom Challenge: He REALLY loves confession. Not only does he want you to go once, but times that by two. Be extra holy to prepare for Lent men. Not Catholic? No worries!

Demonic Limitations, Guardian Angels and The Gifts of the Spirit

Two of the most controversial topics in one episode....yes please! So many questions to answer, so little time. If you ever had a question about indulgences or purgatory, this is the episode for you. As Father Dom and I wrap up our 3-part series on confession, listen to find out what an indulgence is, why they are given, what purgatory is, and what the Bible has to say about it.  James' challenge: Meet the requirements to gain an indulgence, then pursue one of St. Joseph's! Links below for both. We are all sinners and are stained with sin, so we might as well try to remove even a small bit of that stain either for ourselves or others.

Ep 142 - Flee From Heresy and Save Your Soul, A Conversation with Bishop Athanasius Schneider

What happens when your wife begins to pull away, and you can't figure out why? What's more is that everything you do to help fix the situation seems to fall short. John Heinen and Devin Schadt discuss the hidden physical, spiritual, and emotional forces that quietly fracture Catholic marriages. Drawing on Scripture, theology, and hard-won experience, they reveal how isolation, resentment, and the demons can slowly unravel trust and intimacy.
Instead of ignoring the drift, they unpack five subtle dynamics that sabotage unity and show how to reclaim authentic headship rooted in sacrifice, courage, and clarity. If you’ve felt the distance and wondered how to bridge it, this conversation will equip you to lead with confidence and rediscover the peace, trust, and communion God intends for your marriage.

Grill Guns and Incorruptible Saints

In this episode of The Manly Catholic, I sit down with Chris Lewis, the artist and founder behind Baritus Catholic Illustration. Chris is a Catholic convert, husband, father, and craftsman who has made it his mission to counteract the ugliness of modern culture with beauty. This isn’t just a conversation about art. It’s about the Catholic man’s responsibility to stand guard over beauty, to resist counterfeit creativity like AI-generated “art,” and to recover the discipline and craftsmanship that once built cathedrals. Chris shares how his battle with cancer reoriented his life and how beauty brought him back to God in a powerful way.We talk about conversion, liturgical living, discipline, and the dangers of compartmentalizing our Catholic faith. Chris doesn’t hold back on calling out the cultural rot in entertainment, art, and media and he reminds us of the need for Catholic men to fight on the frontlines by living lives of integrity, order, and truth.Products/References Mentioned:<ul><li><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/BaritusCatholic?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_term=baritus+catholic_e&amp;utm_campaign=Search_US_Nonbrand_GGL_ENG_General-Nonbrand_Shops_All&amp;utm_ag=Nonbrand%2BCatch-All%2B%5BShops%2FSellers%5D&amp;utm_custom1=_k_CjwKCAjwlaTGBhANEiwAoRgXBVbp6ZH2fEt91ZifMdHkKM3xMae27BFU1w0AdNPnj27OuKcMJMAwmhoCkFoQAvD_BwE_k_&amp;utm_content=go_19734138608_143645951022_649256730887_kwd-1330594980154_c_&amp;utm_custom2=19734138608&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=19734138608&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRJzpjmGinWObF4snl222ZzGQ&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwlaTGBhANEiwAoRgXBVbp6ZH2fEt91ZifMdHkKM3xMae27BFU1w0AdNPnj27OuKcMJMAwmhoCkFoQAvD_BwE&amp;dd_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Baritus Catholic Illustration</a></li><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=rome+sweet+home&amp;hvadid=695227964625&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvexpln=67&amp;hvlocphy=9192441&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvocijid=12279188991594175291--&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvrand=12279188991594175291&amp;hvtargid=kwd-398378250&amp;hydadcr=8234_13544367&amp;mcid=8b7c55dcc4263f0b9ff1ab2d7ff7c182&amp;tag=googhydr-20&amp;ref=pd_sl_4urrtm3nj3_e_p67" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Rome Sweet Home</a> by Dr. Scott Hahn</li></ul>3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>“Life is about struggling to learn a craft.

Ep 165 - The War Cry of Beauty: Chris Lewis from Baritus Catholic on Art, Faith, and Fighting Back

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.

Weird Parts of the Life of Prayer | Fr. Gregory Pine O.P.

Both interest and conversions to the Catholic Church have been surging both here and in parts of Europe, especially among young adults. To be sure, secularism still dominates the culture, but the once common wisdom that an increasingly secular society would eventually lead to the death of Christianity and its evacuation from the public square doesn't seem so common anymore. What are the causes of this apparent religious revival among young people? What can we do as evangelists to maintain and build on the momentum? A listener asks about the most effective way to make an initial evangelical impact on young people. 00:00 | Introduction 01:20 | Concluding Bishop Barron's first diocesan synod 03:18 | Growing interest in Catholicism 08:45 | Men and Catholic interest 11:50 | Considering our recent isolations 14:08 | The rise and decline of wokeism 17:10 | Attraction to tradition 18:48 | Attraction to the liturgy 25:50 | The attraction of moral teachings 28:53 | Evangelical challenges 31:46 | Religious liberty 35:45 | Listener question: How do you best engage the young? 38:40 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>E&C Online article: <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/its-true-young-people-are-seeking-the-faith/" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/its-true-young-people-are-seeking-the-faith/">https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/its-true-young-people-are-seeking-the-faith/</a></li> <li>New York Post article: <a href= "https://nypost.com/2025/04/17/lifestyle/why-young-people-are-converting-to-catholicism-en-masse/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://nypost.com/2025/04/17/lifestyle/why-young-people-are-converting-to-catholicism-en-masse/" aria-label= "https://nypost.com/2025/04/17/lifestyle/why-young-people-are-converting-to-catholicism-en-masse/ - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link= "">https://nypost.com/2025/04/17/lifestyle/why-young-people-are-converting-to-catholicism-en-masse/</a></li> <li>Fox News article: <a href= "https://www.foxnews.com/media/catholicism-sees-major-resurgence-among-gen-z-young-men-leading-revival" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://www.foxnews.com/media/catholicism-sees-major-resurgence-among-gen-z-young-men-leading-revival" aria-label= "https://www.foxnews.com/media/catholicism-sees-major-resurgence-among-gen-z-young-men-leading-revival - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link= "">https://www.foxnews.com/media/catholicism-sees-major-resurgence-among-gen-z-young-men-leading-revival</a></li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-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" 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>!

WOF 506: Why Are So Many Young People Becoming Catholic?

What is sin? Are all sins created equal? In this episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, Jack Garno and Dr. David Hajduk dive deep into the Catholic Church’s teaching on sin—original sin, mortal sin, venial sin, and the consequences of sin in Christian theology. We explore what the&nbsp;Bible&nbsp;says about sin, how&nbsp;moral theology&nbsp;helps us understand&nbsp;grave sin, and why the&nbsp;sacrament of reconciliation&nbsp;is essential to healing. You’ll hear insights on&nbsp;faith,&nbsp;penance, and the Church’s role in helping souls return to God. We also address the modern resistance to the idea of sin, especially regarding sexual morality, and whether the Church is "too obsessed" with sin. Can you receive&nbsp;communion&nbsp;if you're in a state of sin? Do you need a priest to be forgiven? This conversation unpacks timeless&nbsp;spiritual&nbsp;truths and sheds light on how&nbsp;Christianity,&nbsp;religion, and&nbsp;Catholic Church&nbsp;teaching still matter deeply in today's world.

Leadership Lessons from a Global Leader with Alpha International w/ Shaila Visser

In this episode, James is joined by Ryan Young, founder of Camp Veritas, a Catholic Summer Camp for teens 12-18. Ryan is a man who has lived many lives, as he puts it. From briefly meeting his future spouse at a college meet-and-greet and knowing he was going to marry her to working as a Physician's Assistant in New York, Ryan is a doer. Husband and father to 8-children, Ryan's life is so busy he had to cut the interview short due to a little one needing stitches! During their discussion, Ryan and James speak about the four greatest challenges men face in this day and age, the biggest threats to boys becoming men, and how God rewards the proactive. Ryan is a man who believes there are no accidents and it is evident by the way he speaks about his faith and the Church. “There is nothing more delusional in the universe to think your opinion actually matters.” Ryan Young Like what you heard?

<h2>About our drink: Vat 69</h2>
David Bates brought this from across the pond, as you can not get it here in the States. Vat 69 was the go-to scotch for Lewis, so it was very fitting for us to be sipping on the drink while talking about the Christian author.
The iconic Vat 69 bottle with its bulbous neck was introduced to the market and was not changed for about one hundred years. In 1882, William Sanderson prepared one hundred casks of blended whisky and hired a panel of experts to taste them. The batch from the cask (or “vat”) with number 69 was judged to be the best, and this provided the whisky&#8217;s <a title="Brand" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand">brand name</a>. The whisky was at first bottled in <a title="Port wine" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_wine">port</a> bottles. In 1884, Sanderson bought the <a title="Glen Garioch distillery" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Garioch_distillery">Glen Garioch distillery</a> which was situated in the middle of a <a title="Barley" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barley">barley</a> field. The distillery was meant to ensure the delivery of grain whisky.

<h2>About our topic: </h2>
C.S. Lewis was a British writer and theologian. He is best known for his works of fiction, especially The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, such as Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain.
The Screwtape Letters is a Christian apologetic novel written in a satirical format where the plot and characters are used to address Christian theological issues, primarily those to do with temptation and resistance to it.

Raising Virtuous Kids in a Crazy World | Steve Pokorny | Episode #114

In this episode, Deacon Charlie sits down with Chase Crouse, founder of Hypuro, a Catholic fitness ministry that integrates physical discipline with spiritual growth. Chase shares his inspiring journey from a nominal Catholic upbringing to a profound reversion sparked by Matthew Kelly’s Rediscover Catholicism. He discusses how fitness became a cornerstone of his spiritual life, drawing from St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body and the concept of active and passive purgation to frame exercise as a modern form of asceticism.Hypuro Fit<a href="https://www.hypurofit.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.hypurofit.org/</a> Speed Round Fitness Ratings&nbsp;(Scale: 1–10, 10 being awesome):<ul><li>Ozempic: 5 (situational; depends on medical need).</li><li>Weighted Vests: 3 (overhyped, useful for some but not essential).</li><li>Pilates: 5 (better than nothing, but Chase hasn’t tried it).</li><li>CrossFit/Functional Fitness: Varies (10 for great coaches, -10 for poor ones; coach quality critical to avoid injury).</li><li>Infrared Sauna: 6–7 (enjoyable, not essential).</li><li>Cold Exposure: 7–8 for athletes needing recovery, lower for general muscle-building goals.</li><li>Hyrox: 8 (fun and challenging, especially as a team event).</li><li>P90X: 3–4 (dated but better than nothing).</li></ul>

Father Dom Homily from 7/9/23

Advent Series 2022, Pt. 1: The word “Advent” means “coming” or “arrival.” While we tend to focus on the coming of the Son of God as a child at Christmas, Advent is traditionally a penitential season that is supposed to make us ready to meet the Lord at His second coming. This Advent series by Dr. David Hajduk, Array of Hope’s Director of Theology, reflects on the Final Advent of the Lord - the Last Judgment. This first part explores questions like “Why is there a general judgment at the end of time if there is a particular judgment at the moment of death?” and “What will be the signs that Jesus’ second coming is near?” -- Host: Dr. David HajdukVisit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

CANDID - Advent Series 2022, Pt. 1

After an incredible childhood, Kelly Halaszyn experienced the painful loss of his father on December 12, 2001. Facing this trial at the start of high school led Kelly to search for answers and beg God for a sign from above that his father was okay. Little did he know that the consoling comments of a Deacon, coupled with the Our Lady of Guadalupe holy card found in Kelly’s new car, would lead him to trust and follow God’s will for the rest of his life. In a moment of divine providence, Kelly realized that Mary was with him throughout the struggles and that Christ had never stopped pursuing him. Kelly’s story will touch your heart and open your eyes to the signs of God’s love in your own life, just as it did for Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein. Kelly Halaszyn is the Senior Director of Development for the Diocese of Dallas. <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.corexpeditions.org/upcoming-trips">COR Expeditions - Upcoming Trips</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a> <a href="https://www.davemooremusic.com/">Dave Moore Music</a>

God, Give Me A Sign | Kelly Halaszyn | Episode #222

In this podcast episode, James and Dan discuss divine revelation through the lens of Vatican II's "Dei Verbum," focusing on how God reveals Himself gradually, culminating in the Incarnation. They emphasize the Church's role in preserving and interpreting Scripture alongside Tradition, highlighting the need for contextual understanding and the guidance of the Magisterium. The importance of integrating the Old Testament with the New is discussed, showing the continuity in God's plan of salvation. They advocate for active scripture engagement through practices like Lectio Divina to deepen one's relationship with God. The episode concludes with a call to embrace God's will, even amidst fear, trusting in the peace and fulfillment it brings.

ECM Five Minute Maxims for Men - Imitate the Mercy of Jesus

This week on Living the Call, Deacon Charlie sits down with Deacon Omar Gutierrez, husband and father of four. Deacon Omar is the President and co-Founder of the <a href="http://eicatholic.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Evangelium Institute</a>, a non-profit dedicated to providing dynamic catechetical and spiritual formation to adults.&nbsp;In this episode,&nbsp; Deacon Omar discusses how Catholic Social Teaching is often geared towards “doing”, but what must come first is our “being”...which is rooted in relationship with Christ Jesus. He talks about how to transition from a “Soldier” mindset with a need to win, to becoming a “Scout” who seeks truth in order to walk alongside others and bring them to Christ.

Deacon Omar Gutierrez | Scout or Soldier?

Today, John, Devin, and Sam are discussing something that—from our perspective—is quite possibly never proclaimed, discussed, or pondered by men in the Church today. Could this be the very reason why only 31% of Mass going Catholics believe Our Savior is present in the Eucharist? We want to be clear: today’s episode is not just another discussion about Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist, or a lamentation regarding the crisis of faith. We will be conversing about something so serious, so powerful that it could be the most dangerous and important thing you will ever do.<h2>Podcast Sponsor:</h2>Exodus 90 - https://exodus90.com/catholicgentlemanINCREDIBLE DEVOTIONAL FOR MEN: LEAD by Devin Schadt - <a href="https://store.catholicgentleman.com/collections/books/products/lead-daily-devotional">https://store.catholicgentleman.com/collections/books/products/lead-daily-devotional</a>🔴 Get this and watch the entire 1h 30mins of episode 167 here - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com🔴 Fr.

The Most Dangerous Thing You Will Ever Do

What if the biggest thing holding men back... was the pain they never talk about?
In this raw and revealing episode, Catholic men&rsquo;s coach Kenneth Harouff joins Sean to unpack the hidden struggles men carry&mdash;addiction, isolation, spiritual burnout, emotional wounds&mdash;and why just &ldquo;being more spiritual&rdquo; isn&rsquo;t enough. With honesty and deep compassion, Kenneth shares how real healing begins when men stop hiding, start reaching out, and surround themselves with wise, courageous brothers.
You&rsquo;ll learn how spiritual bypass keeps men stuck, why vulnerability is the key to transformation, and what practical steps any man can take right now to begin healing. From confronting past trauma to building authentic brotherhood, this episode gives you a new lens for understanding what real strength looks like.
Whether you&rsquo;re battling burnout or just sensing something&rsquo;s off, this is a call to stop going it alone&mdash;and start becoming the man God created you to be.

How to Know Your True Friends

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

Heroic Prayer Chants for Men

In this episode,  Fr. Dom and James begin part 1 of their 5 part series on "Into the Breach," an apostolic exhortation issued by Bishop Thomas Olmsted in Phoenix in 2015. Bishop Olmsted came out throwing haymakers stating that men have failed in society which has led to chaos, disruption, and disappointment. For too long men have forsaken their duties and allowed Satan to penetrate the walls and create a breach in our defenses. Although this sounds like the makings of an epic novel, you will have to settle for James and Father Dom's take on the matter.  Fr. Dom begins his modus operandi on Adam failing to defend the garden and allowing the serpent to enter. James quotes Shakespeare and somehow ties it into the military.  James quotes stats that should leave all men preparing for the spiritual battle to defeat Satan. And so much more! Join Father Dom and James right now and change your family tree! DO NOT NEGLECT the Fr. Dom Challenge! This week, you must find a saint! Saints come in all shapes and sizes. You picked your Confirmation saint for a reason right?! Learn his or her life deeply and begin to ask for their prayers. If you have no idea what a Confirmation saint is, there are plenty of resources out there on saints. Find one you can resonate with. Find one who challenges you. Find one who makes you want to be a better man. We can all be saints. It is not impossible.

Ep. 2 - Forward men! Step into the breach!

Transubstantiation is defined in the Catechism "by the consecration of the bread and wine there takes place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of his blood. This change the holy Catholic Church has fittingly and properly called transubstantiation."  Men...transubstantiation is a dogma of our faith. We cannot say we are truly Catholic without fully believing in this concept as defined by the Church, nay, Jesus Himself! Continue listening to hear how James and Fr. Dom had a switch flipped based on Greek words uttered by Jesus during the Bread of Life discourse, what transubstantiation actually means, and why women can never be made priests because Jesus was a male.

Ep 13 - Transubstantiation and Bread of Life Discourse

In this week&#39;s episode of Catholic ReCon, testimonies from reverts and converts, guest John Edwards of Just a Guy in the Pew Ministries shares his heartbreaking story. In the end, he shows that redemption is possible against all odds. Praise God!
 
▶From John&#39;s site:
&quot;Like so many men, I vowed to be a better person, husband and father time and time again. It wasn’t until I felt the presence of Jesus as I walked out of a jail cell that I realized how much I wanted to change and how I could only do that with His help. Since that time, I’ve taken a journey to grow closer to Christ. I invite other Catholic men to accompany me as we follow the path God has set before us.&quot;

Evangelization and Family Mission w/ Jason Jensen

In this episode, Dr. Deborah Savage of Franciscan University joins the conversation to unpack the "war on men," the masculine genius, and the deeper spiritual battle being waged against the human person. Drawing from St. John Paul II, Aquinas, and her own scholarship, she explores the unique gifts of men and women, the meaning of complementarity, and why fathers play a vital role in conferring identity. The discussion tackles hard truths about suicide rates, cultural blind spots, and misplaced anger, while also pointing to the beauty of God's design for man and woman. Listeners are invited to recover a deeper appreciation of our differences, not as a struggle for power, but as the foundation of authentic human flourishing.

<h2>About our drink:</h2>
<a href="https://michters.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Michter&#8217;s Bourbon</a>
Notes of oak, white pepper, honey, peaches and raisins lingered for a while in my mouth with the predominant flavor being the white pepper that brings a subtle heat and spice to the finish. This bourbon tastes like many young bourbons I&#8217;ve had from start-up distilleries with its light nose and sweet palate profile.
<h2>About the gear:</h2>
N/A &#8211; we didn&#8217;t have a gear this week since we had so much we needed to cover.
<h2>About our topic:</h2>
The topic of confession.
How do we help the priest, help us, during confession? Should you pray while in the state of mortal sin? How do you make a good confession after you have stopped committing mortal sin on a regular basis? Can you make a confession on skype?

Questions about Confession

Jeremy Robinson is the co-founder and CEO of Cardboard Spaceship, a thriving full-service video production company in Dallas. With decades of experience as a marketing executive, Jeremy's expertise spans the development and execution of successful commercial strategies, marketing initiatives, and operational plans for a diverse array of businesses, ranging from startups to Fortune 1000 companies. Throughout his entrepreneurial journey, he has founded several highly successful companies, collectively generating over $100 million in revenue.Since its inception, Cardboard Spaceship has forged strong partnerships with the world's leading ad agencies, including WPP, Omnicom, and Publicis, while developing content for esteemed brands like Mercedes, Google, IBM, Canon, Gillette, Marriott, American Airlines, and many more. Cardboard Spaceship continues to push the boundaries of video production, marrying imagination with sophistication to deliver unparalleled visual experiences that captivate audiences across the globe.As a father of two, Jeremy starts the show by reflecting on fatherhood and the impact of modeling virtue. Then the Dudes dive into Jeremy’s spiritual journey covering several religious traditions and a fun story of his own ordination as a minister prior to coming into communion with the Catholic church. In 2014, Jeremy faced a spiritual crisis in his journey that was centered around 1 Peter 3:15. He wanted to always be able to give a defense of his faith to anybody at any time and decided to take on the antithesis of his own arguments as part of this study. During the proceeding years, God placed several men in Jeremy’s life that helped to form him for the next step, including Bishop Robert Baron in the Great God Debates series. Jeremy completed RCIA and entered the church on the Easter vigil in 2022.After a spiritually powerful start to the show, the Dudes compete on Blessed are the Joke Makers using the persona of a Sour School Teach to address the prompt, “Youth ministers love talking about _____.”After the break, Jeremy shares the fascinating story of his company’s rebrand efforts to land on the new name Cardboard Spaceship. This episode’s TBD question asks the Dudes and Jeremy to reflect on a time when each person was faced with a fight or flight moment, and they chose to run away. This week’s Reverse Simpsons is a special Silly Soda Sampler challenge in which Jeff presents Jeremy, Paul, and Nick with 3 very interesting food-flavored drinks to see if they can collectively determine each one. <h2>More on Jeremy</h2><a href="https://cardboard-spaceship.com/">Cardboard Spaceship</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</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>

Do You Need Extraordinary Evidence to Believe in the Resurrection?

From Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (“The Big Dumper”) to Cracker Barrel pancakes to mother-son saints, Father Dave and Deacon Bob serve up another classic mix of sports, pop culture, and faith. This week’s wide-ranging conversation moves from baseball nicknames and Ryder Cup golf to the Solemn Blessing of Christ the King Chapel and Franciscan University’s theme for the year: keeping Jesus at the center. 
Along the way, they debate Cracker Barrel’s new logo, celebrate St. Monica and St. Augustine, and swap stories from recent travels to Corpus Christi and Superior. And since the podcast is nearing its final episodes, they invite listeners to share both favorite nicknames and treasured podcast memories as this chapter draws to a close.

So … The Russell Brand Interview | Cameron Fradd | Last Call Ep. 22

Adelaide never joined a lodge. She never took an oath. Her ancestor did — and something attached to that oath found her.In this rewind episode, Father Carlos Martins and Ryan Bethea open the case file on a woman whose affliction traced directly to ancestral Freemasonry. Father Martins walks through what the Masonic initiation oath actually says, explains why those words can effects across generations, and describes what liberation looked like for Adelaide — and why it only took two sessions.
