That's NOT The Point! Pt 2 w/ Mthr. Natalia

Discover

Learning to give mercy can be difficult for us as men, but it's one of the first steps in truly coming to know the love of God. Just before his death Father Kapaun made the decision to forgive his captors who allowed so many men to die and to ask for their forgiveness. This session will help us to embrace our own need for God's mercy and in turn share that mercy with others.

Mercy

With all the blessings that the Lord has bestowed on me in my life, how have I responded to His least, last and lost in this world today?

WOF 395: Knowing Jesus Personally

On today's show we will be talking to Pat Novecosky about St. Faustina & Divine Mercy and also Soulful Psalm 86.

Patrick Novecosky: St. Faustina & Divine Mercy

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.

A Dram with Friends

In this episode John Bishop sits down with recent Catholic convert Keith Nester. Keith was a pastor in several protestant churches before he became Catholic in 2017, a decision made after decades of prayer and study. Keith now devotes a portion of his professional life to accompanying new Catholic converts and has spoken widely on the topic. Keith gives concrete advice on how to support fathers who have recently joined the Catholic Church. Check out Keith&apos;s book, &quot;The Convert&apos;s Guide to Roman Catholicism: Your First Year in the Church&quot; <a href='https://a.co/d/elO2xNC'>https://a.co/d/elO2xNC</a>

Ep 8: Keith Nester on Walking with New Catholic Converts

"The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness." - Pope Benedict XVI

You don't have to look around long to see that the world needs Catholics that are willing to boldly live their faith. Unfortunately, many of us can often find ourselves retreating back into the comfort and safety of those like us. While there is nothing wrong with surrounding ourselves with like minded people, we must never close the door to those in need or become uninviting to the unchurched. Jesus never said you are not welcome in my group or at my table and neither should we. Listen in this week as John and Victor discuss the importance of fighting the urge to retreat back into the comfort and safety of the initiated while challenging us to become the missionary disciples we are called to be. It's time to get uncomfortable.  

In this episode John and Victor discuss:
- The need to return to the mentality of a missionary church
-  Fighting the urge to close ourselves off in small groups that aren't welcoming to those in need. 
- Running towards the unchurched instead of away from them.
- Loving people the way Jesus did

It's Time To Get Uncomfortable

We all struggle to actively live with purpose and intention day in and day out. Today Sam and John are joined by a military veteran, teacher, and woodworker, Paul Hyatt, who explains the richness of his life and how he lives each day with significance.

The Dignity of the Human Person w/ Amanda Achtman

This no-nonsense, gut-punching, soul-waking series is a firestarter for any man ready to stop drifting and start living with holy purpose. With raw humor, spiritual grit, and deeply personal stories, Father Larry Richards challenges Catholic men to step into their true identity&mdash;not just as believers, but as beloved sons, courageous warriors, and men of God.
Each chapter dismantles modern passivity and spiritual lukewarmness, calling men to deeper prayer, unshakable discipline, real repentance, and radical love. From embracing the Father&rsquo;s love to breaking free from sin, living by the Spirit, and becoming a servant leader at home and in the world&mdash;this series gives men the spiritual playbook they&rsquo;ve been craving.
If you&rsquo;ve ever wrestled with anger, lust, weakness, pride, or purpose, you&rsquo;re not alone&mdash;and this series is your training ground. Get ready to be challenged, inspired, and transformed. It&rsquo;s time to be the man you were created to be.

Be a Man! with Fr Larry Richards 

In this conversation, Sean Lynn and Ron Huntley discuss the importance of church structure, leadership, and community engagement in fostering a healthy parish environment. They explore the challenges of communication within the church, the need for a common language in evangelization, and the significance of building relationships to effectively reach out to others. Ron shares insights on assessing parish health and the role of collaboration in achieving a unified mission. The discussion also touches on personal reflections about faith and the example of St. Joseph as a model of strength and silence in leadership.

A Dram With Ron Huntley

An incredible discussion with Jonathan Roumie, the face of Jesus in The Chosen, alongside Jonathan Reyes and Sean Lynn from Heroic Men. In this powerful event, they dive deep into what it means to lead with faith, courage, and conviction, inspired by the life of Servant of God Father Edward J. Flanagan. Roumie and Reyes connect Father Flanagan's legacy to the challenges men face today. If you’re looking to strengthen your resolve and lead with purpose, this replay is for you. Don’t miss out!

Heart of a Hero

The Second Vatican Council teaches that "the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time, it is the font from which all her power flows." The Eucharist and the celebration of the sacrifice of the Mass is at the very heart and center of the Christian life. It stands as the pinnacle of the New Covenant established by Christ, and the Eucharist is the source of the unity of the Church.

God would have us holy even as He is holy; He would have us live His very life. It is for this end that He has given us His divine Son, and with Him the infinite riches of His heart; that is. His merits. His sacraments, His Church. Sanctity consists in believing and receiving these divine communications, of which Jesus Christ is the source, the instrument, and the end; consequently, it also consists in uniting ourselves with Him by loving Him, and in modelling ourselves upon Him by imitating Him; it can and ought to pervade every life, the busiest as well as the simplest.

About our drink:
Midnight Ritual
Fans of Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat Beer will be able to enjoy the iconic ale like never before:  as a whiskey. The collaboration with Iowa-based Foundry Distilling Co. turns nascent Unfiltered Wheat into 89 proof Midnight Ritual, an American malt whiskey.
Prior to fermentation, Unfiltered Wheat traveled by tanker from Boulevard’s Kansas City brewery to historic Valley Junction in West Des Moines, Iowa, home of Foundry Distilling Company. After distillation in Foundry’s towering column still and a slumber of more than two years in new 30-gallon #3 charred oak barrels, Midnight Ritual entices with notes of caramel, banana bread, and allspice.
About our gear:
N/A
About the Topic:
We take a unique reflection on the Incarnation with our guest, Dr. Ricahrd Meloche. We ask why Christ was born during the time period he was and what the significance of this. We look at Pope Benedict's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regensburg_lecture#:~:text=The%20Regensburg%20lecture%20or%20Regensburg,as%20a%20professor%20of%20theology." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Regensburg lecture</a> while enjoying a sip of whiskey and puffing on a pipe.
About The Alcuin Institute:
Officially launched on Oct. 7, 2018—the feast day of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary - the Alcuin Institute is an educational and cultural institute that oversees the formation of Catholic leaders and educators throughout the Diocese of Tulsa &amp; Eastern Oklahoma.
The Alcuin Institute for Catholic Culture seeks to cultivate in the Diocese of Tulsa &amp; Eastern Oklahoma forgotten, and often forbidden, realities—such as virtue, chivalry, valor, self-denial, a fondness for things of the past, and the real mirth found in friendship in order that truth, goodness, and beauty may prevail. In doing so we hope to become a bastion for authentic Catholic culture.

When, Where, and Why of the Incarnation

50% of young men abandon faith in the Church - and God altogether - because they believe faith and science are in conflict. More, they believe there is zero evidence for God, Jesus, and life after death. Today, there's more evidence than ever before for these, and a super-majority of young scientists declare they believe in God. Fr Spitzer's series is powerful and effective with young men between 13-24 years. Heroic Men is proud to partner with the Magis Center for Reason and Faith to bring men this essential series on the Catholic Faith and Science. Fr. Robert J. Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D. provides evidence and answers to the most pressing questions of our time: Do We Have Immortal Souls? Why Believe in God? Why Believe in Jesus? Who is Jesus? Why be Catholic? What is True Happiness? If God Love Us, Why Do We Suffer? Perfect for Faith Formation: Men, Women, Outreach, Youth Ministry, RCIA, Diaconate Formation, and Educators!&nbsp;This 20-week series is broken into 20-30 minute videos, perfect for small group watching.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr. Spitzer is a Catholic priest in the Jesuit order and is currently the President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith (<a href="https://magiscenter.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">magiscenter.com</a>).

Lord Over All Storms

Edmund Mitchell joins The BeatiDudes for a wild ride covering everything from hot honey to the Catechism. Edmund’s career includes a unique blend of creative work, a wide array of ministry experience, and a passion for the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The show starts with a reflection on Jeff Schiefelbein’s “big timing” approach to new friendships, including how he first met Edmund, Paul, and Nick. Edmund is the co-founder of Real + True, an extensive platform that explains the Catechism using a creative approach to each of the document’s four-part framework – the Creed, sacraments, morality, and prayer. The work of Real + True makes the teachings of the church accessible and enjoyable. Check out the <a href="https://realtrue.org/videos/the-power-of-call-response-in-music/">Real + True episode on Call and Response</a> here.In this episode’s Blessed are the Joke Makers, the guys take on the persona of a Funeral Home Director to address the prompt, “When Jesus comes again, he will talk about _____ first.” Edmund proceeds to answer this improv question with a one-act play you won’t want to miss. As the Dudes head into the commercial break, Edmund catches everyone off-guard with his new love of hot honey. Have you ever heard of Manuka? You are about to learn more about niche honey production than you could have ever predicted. The BeatiDudes (TBD) Question leads to great introspection: What is something you learned in the past year that is important?And, as always, the Dudes finish the long episode with a new Reverse Simpsons as Jeff facilitates a quiz competition between Paul, Edmund, and Nick. Who do you think will win? <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a>joinsolidarity.com <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://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow Edmund and his work:</h2><a href="https://realtrue.org/">Real + True</a><a href="https://bummerlazarus.co/">Bummer + Lazarus</a><a href="http://edmundmitchell.com/">Edmund Mitchell</a><a href="https://www.osv.com/">OSV </a>- Producers of Real + True<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>

HOT HONEY & The CATHOLIC Catechism | Edmund Mitchell | Episode #015

The BeatiDudes proudly welcome their hero and friend, Bill Sladek, for a look back at his life of service. Bill and his wife answer the call to help others and serve God daily with their time, talent, and treasure. Not only does this inspiring couple lend financial support to various organizations and serve as chairs for various fundraisers, but they also roll up their sleeves and get to work. They have cooked and served meals at the Ronald McDonald House every month for over 13 years. They helped to complete the physical renovation of the building, which now serves pregnant women in danger of homelessness, where Bill and his buddies continue to mow and maintain the lawn. The examples of service that Bill performs are almost as endless as the number of wristbands he wears in support of many people and causes. This show has a surprise opening as Jeff leads Paul, Bill, and Nick through a Jesuit Dallas quiz show full of twists and turns. The quiz helps reveal more about Bill and his incredible past. Bill and BeatiDudes also reflect on the powerful experiences each person had at the National Eucharistic Congress in July of 2024. Bill has been a commercial real estate attorney in Dallas for 39 years and is a partner with Condon Tobin Sladek Thornton Nerenberg PLLC. Bill is an alum of the University of Notre Dame (Class of 1982) and received his law degree in 1985 from the University of Texas School of Law.Bill is a proud member of the Jesuit Dallas Class of 1978 and is currently Chair of the Development Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas Foundation. Bill is also the current president of the Board of Directors of the Notre Dame School of Dallas and a member of the Board of Management of the Semones YMCA. Bill and Mary (his wife of 40 years) have chaired several charity events, including the Bishop’s Golf Tournament, the Catholic Charities Bishop’s Gala, the Catholic Pro-Life Community’s Bishop’s Gala, and the Holy Trinity Seminary’s Spes Gregis Gala.Bill and Mary, both Dallas natives, began dating while Mary was a junior at Ursuline and Bill was a senior at Jesuit. They have five children—four boys (Billy, Brendan, Brian, and Baby Brett, their Angel Baby) and one daughter (Maddie, an Ursuline alum). They are parishioners at St. Monica Catholic Church.On the Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on multiple personalities to address the prompt, “Seminarians talk about _____ after class.” Follow the <a href="https://www.firebreakerseries.com/">Firebreaker Series</a>Follow <a href="https://www.streamfio.com/">Fio</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a> BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

The Missionary Church in Action | Bill Sladek | Episode #143

Dr. John Bishop, founder of Forge, explains why forming Catholic men into strong husbands, fathers, and leaders creates a ripple effect across entire families and generations. He breaks down the Forge model, why Jesus&rsquo; own ministry offers a blueprint for men&rsquo;s groups, how a father returned to confession after 22 years, and the practical formula he uses to build brotherhood that lasts. This is a tactical conversation for Catholic men who want to stop consuming inspiration and begin forming other men. <a href="https://myforge.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FORGE</a>
What You&rsquo;ll Learn
✅ Why fathers are a strategic battleground for the family ✅ How one men&rsquo;s group can influence generations ✅ The meeting structure Forge has seen work ✅ Why brotherhood takes months to become strong
