<h5>The Cycle of the Christian Life</h5>
Meeting Jesus is the beginning of new life. From this encounter, we are free to choose whether we follow Him or return to our former lives. If we follow, we become converted, bit by bit, to be like Him. This allows us to enter into shared lives of love with Him, a state we call communion. Those who enter communion with Christ have everything (the summit of the spiritual life), but they cannot keep it to themselves or it will die. From communion we must go on mission to help others to meet Christ. In this passing on of the Faith, the cycle begins anew both for the one sharing and the one hearing. This is the fundamental cycle of the Christian life, and the way of eternal life handed down by the Apostles: Encounter, Conversion, Communion, and Mission.

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles dive into the topic of spiritual idleness, drawing from Father Frederick Faber’s <a href="https://corjesupress.com/products/growth-in-holiness?srsltid=AfmBOooFtEiqLyWH_oHLA-bXFQEf_-3b35CJSjMc0cjJgRN-NPxAlBUV" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Growth in Holiness: Progress of the Spiritual Life.</a> Recorded around the Fourth of July, the episode begins with a celebration of small-town Americana, from mutton busting at the local rodeo to the ordination of their friend, Father Robert Williams. The hosts then explore seven developments of spiritual idleness—dissipation, sadness, sloth, and more—offering practical insights on how to stay vigilant and prioritize a life oriented toward God. Sipping on Balvenie’s American Oak 12-Year Scotch, Adam and David discuss how modern distractions, like smartphones and excessive communication, fragment our focus and hinder our prayer life, and share strategies for cultivating presence, joy, and intentionality in both spiritual and daily routines.Key Discussion Points:<ul><li>Small-Town Americana: The hosts celebrate the Heart of America rodeo, mutton busting, and the communal prayer and patriotism of small-town events, reflecting on their importance in fostering connection.</li><li>Priestly Ordination: David shares a moving story of his son’s emotional response to Father Robert Williams’ ordination, highlighting the eternal nature of the priesthood and the call to discernment.</li><li>Spiritual Idleness Defined: Drawing from Father Faber’s Growth in Holiness, the hosts unpack seven developments of spiritual idleness: dissipation (misprioritizing tasks), sadness (rooted in self-love), sloth (hatred of existence), useless industry (excessive communication), and general indifference to time.</li><li>Dissipation’s Impact: Putting less important tasks first disrupts the hierarchy of goods, leading to a loss of peace and distractions in prayer, as Faber notes: “He who is diligent will soon be cheerful.”</li><li>Sadness and Self-Love: Sadness, driven by self-improvement rather than God, gives the devil power over the soul, undermining spiritual progress.</li><li>Sloth as a Culmination: Sloth combines dissipation and sadness, fostering a distaste for existence and duties, disrupting the tranquility of order (Aquinas’ definition of peace).</li><li>Useless Industry: Faber’s critique of excessive letter-writing in the 1800s applies to today’s text messaging and social media, which fragment focus and reduce meaningful communication.</li><li>Indifference to Time: Wasting time, especially on addictive platforms like YouTube Shorts, is a “stupid” sin that squanders the precious, irrevocable gift of time, which Faber calls “the stuff out of which eternity is made.”</li><li>Focus and Presence: True focus requires saying “no” to distractions to prioritize God’s will, fostering presence in both daily life and prayer, as exemplified by a man eating lunch under a tree without multitasking.</li><li>Leisure Done Right: Leisure must align with one’s state in life, be tethered to joy, and have a contemplative aspect, avoiding compulsory or utilitarian ends.</li></ul> Notable Quotes from Father Frederick Faber:<ul><li>“Dissipation… consists in putting things off beyond their proper times so that one duty treads upon the heels of another, and all duties are felt as irksome obligations.”</li><li>“He who is diligent will soon be cheerful.”</li><li>“The soul of sadness is self-love… How many are there whose real end in the spiritual life is self-improvement rather than God?”</li><li>“Nothing gives the devil so much power over us [as sadness].”</li><li>“Time is the stuff out of which eternity is made… we shall have to give the strictest account of it at the last.”</li></ul> Resources:<ul><li>Growth in Holiness: Progress of the Spiritual Life by Father Frederick Faber (available from Koreasoo Press).</li><li>Select International Tours – Join Adam and David on their October pilgrimage to Italy or explore other holy sites worldwide.</li><li>Explore St. Hesychios’ writings on watchfulness for insights on vigilance in the spiritual life.</li></ul>

Overcoming Spiritual Idleness: 7 Pitfalls to Avoid for a Focused Catholic Life

Dan Donaldson didn’t start with faith; he started with skepticism. Raised in a non-practicing family, Mass felt like a mystery—confusing and distant. But that all changed when a series of divine encounters sparked his search for truth. The real turning point? Watching his son’s genuine connection to Scripture. That moment pushed Dan back to the Catholic Church, where he discovered the profound significance of the Eucharist—the source and summit of Catholic life. Now, Dan’s life revolves around the Eucharist, and he’s not keeping it to himself. He’s calling others to embrace the life-giving power that transformed him from a skeptic into a believer. If you’re searching for something real, Dan’s story is proof that the Eucharist can be the answer.

From Doubt to Devotion: Dan Donaldson's Journey to the Eucharist

Today we bring you the first half of a conversation from earlier this year between Bishop Barron and biblical scholar, N.T. Wright, at Word on Fire’s Evangelisation & Culture Conference in London.

Be a Man! with Fr Larry Richards 

The Beacon of Truth with Deacon Harold Burke Sivers is a show for listeners of all ages who want to strengthen – or to learn to develop – a deep, personal, loving relationship with Jesus Christ. Covering hot topics that are currently in the news and that may be causing people to lose hope; guests who address a specific topic like marriage and the family or sexual addiction; as well as your questions. Deacon Harold also brings his love of the psalms, music, and the many talks he gives at parishes across the country to each days show. Join "Dynamic Deacon" at 4 p.m. ET weekdays on EWTN Radio.

Beacon of Truth with Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers

Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR, and Deacon Bob Rice are friends who see humor and hope in a crazy world. Whether they are talking about sports, movies, politics, the Church, or their own lives, Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob try to find Christ in all things, even in the messiness of today’s culture. “They that hope in the Lord will renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31). Come be refreshed and renewed!

They That Hope

What if standing up for your faith meant exile, torture, and death &mdash; would you still do it? In this gripping talk, we uncover the extraordinary life of Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky, the Ukrainian bishop who defied Soviet oppression, endured brutal labor camps, and led the underground Church when it was all but wiped out. His story isn't just history &mdash; it's a challenge to every Christian today. Learn how a priest from a humble family in Ukraine stood firm when his Church was declared illegal, how he risked everything to defend unity with Rome, and how even after horrific torture, his incorrupt body testified to unshakable hope. This is more than a history lesson &mdash; it&rsquo;s a roadmap for courage, faith, and what it truly means to be a saint in dark times.

Living the CALL

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

What happens when tragedy strikes a family&mdash;and a father refuses to lose faith? In "How One Father's Faith Saved a Family," we hear the unforgettable true story of a moment that changed everything: a father&rsquo;s words after losing his son in a horrific accident. His unwavering faith became the anchor for his children, creating a ripple effect that carried through generations.&nbsp;
This episode explores the roots of resilience, the power of spiritual brotherhood, and why men&rsquo;s groups are not just helpful&mdash;they&rsquo;re essential. You&rsquo;ll hear about ministry built around fly fishing, the quiet strength of a son caring for his wife with cancer, and how 30 men in a new town created a spiritual bond that changed their lives. If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered whether your faith really matters&mdash;or if men&rsquo;s groups make a difference&mdash;this is the story that proves it does.

Anchored In Hope with Father Larry Richards - Catholic Faith

In a recent talk given to the Knights of Malta, Bishop Barron addressed this convulsive time in our national history, demonstrated by the global pandemic, unstable politics, and outbursts of violence. What he shows is that behind much of the rioting and deep unrest stand ideas stemming from four influential thinkers: Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault. Once we understand some of their most basic ideas, we will recognize their influence everywhere today. In today's episode, we share the first half of the talk (the second half will be coming soon).

Friends, on today’s episode of the “Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I recap two recent discussions I shared with <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgytXF0SPh0">Lex Fridman</a> and <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjxKG4mR3U4">Shia LaBeouf</a>.

WOF 230: Understanding the Holy Spirit

What if the end of your life was today&mdash;would it matter how you lived? In this gripping and raw reflection, &ldquo;Final Goal&rdquo; confronts the ultimate truth: you are going to die. And that&rsquo;s not a threat&mdash;it&rsquo;s a wake-up call. From a spit-take over a shocking book line to the death of a teenage hockey player, every story in this chapter is a reminder that life is short, fragile, and urgent. But more than fear, it offers purpose. The real question isn&rsquo;t just when you&rsquo;ll die&mdash;but who you&rsquo;re living for. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Chapter 1: Final Goal

In the ascent towards holiness and happiness, a Catholic man must build the good habits (Virtue, from the Latin, vir, meaning “manliness, moral strength, goodness, valor”) of the moral life and break the bad habits (Vice, from the Latin, vitium, meaning “defect, offense, blemish, imperfection”) which cause him to fall into sin and risk losing his salvation. The Church provides a comprehensive list of Virtues which fall into two major categories: Theological Virtues (Supernatural) and Cardinal Virtues (Human). Because it is impossible for a mere man ascend to Heaven on his own ability, God grants every Catholic man the supernatural help to grow in Virtue through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit which are freely available to every Catholic man who remains in a state of grace; even if a Catholic man falls into mortal sin and loses the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, he can repent, confess his sins in the Sacrament of Penance and return to a state of grace and regain access to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. What a man needs to break Vice and build Virtue is to come to understand Vice and Virtue and then seek God’s help. To help men understand Virtue and Vice and take concrete action, <a href='http://EveryCathoicMan.com'>EveryCathoicMan.com</a> has developed the Litanies of Virtue.<a href='https://everycatholicman.com/overview-of-vice-virtue-and-the-holy-spirit/'>To learn more about Vice, Virtue and the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit, go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a> <a href='https://everycatholicman.com/litany-of-faith-againt-doubt/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Faith go to EveryCatholicMan.com</a>.

The great novelist, J.R.R. Tolkien, has enchanted generations of readers with his Hobbitand Lord of the Rings, and is the subject of a new feature film, titled Tolkien. But in today’s episode, Bishop Barron talks about Tolkien’s Catholic faith, which was mostly absent in the new film, but critical to his upbringing and his stories of Middle-earth. A listener asks what he should if he’s unable to find a spiritual director.

WOF 434: Blocked by the Beasts of Sin

Friends, did you know that nearly 60% of religious believers agree with the statement that “religion and science conflict with one another”? This tragic confusion is especially prevalent among young people. In today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I discuss five ways to help young people escape this false dilemma and come to understand that there is no actual conflict between true faith and legitimate science. A listener asks, how can adult children evangelize their parents who have left the faith?

WOF 251: What is Postmodernism?

Leadership 

Friends, one major theme appearing throughout the teachings of Pope Francis is the danger of technocracy. In his 2015 encyclical, <a href= "https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/documents/papa-francesco_20150524_enciclica-laudato-si.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Laudato si’</a>, he coined the term “technocratic paradigm,” using the term five times in the encyclical. Should we be concerned about our technocratic society, one dominated by tech and science and which, in turn, aims to dominates nature? That’s what I discuss with Brandon Vogt today on “The Word on Fire Show.” A listener asks, what’s the difference between the Protestant and Catholic understandings of the Church?

Friends, today on the “Word on Fire Show,” we continue our series of discussions called “Understanding the Present Moment.” Brandon Vogt and I are examining four massively influential figures who together help explain our present moment, how we arrived at where we are today. The ideologies undergirding much of the unrest in our culture stem from these four thinkers: Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault. Once we understand these figures and their key ideas, we will recognize them everywhere and be prepared to engage today’s challenges. In today’s second discussion, we focus on Friedrich Nietzsche.

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.

Friends, in today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” we share Lecture 1 from Peter Kreeft’s new 12-part video series on <a href="https://wordonfire.org/philosophy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">“Socrates’ Children: The Great Debates of Philosophy.”</a> In this lecture series, Dr. Peter Kreeft examines key ideas in philosophy by comparing and contrasting two representative philosophers in each lecture. The first lecture compares the father of philosophy, Socrates, with the Sophists, whose philosophy is marked more by cleverness and emotion rather than by wisdom and truth. This video series is being released alongside Word on Fire’s new book series by Kreeft, titled <a href= "https://wordonfire.org/philosophy?_ga=2.128706956.1681425296.1677787164-1034457484.1641079730&_gl=1*15ctd40*_ga*MTAzNDQ1NzQ4NC4xNjQxMDc5NzMw*_ga_4081DYV3TL*MTY3Nzc4OTE1MS40OTMuMS4xNjc3NzkwNzM2LjQ4LjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Socrates’ Children: An Introduction to Philosophy from the 100 Greatest Philosophers</a>. In this four-volume series, Kreeft examines with his characteristic wit and clarity, the big ideas of four major eras—ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary—and immerses the reader in the “great conversation” the ongoing dialogue among the great thinkers of history.

WOF 376: Peter Kreeft on Socrates vs. the Sophists

Friends, today we continue our "Word on Fire Show" series on how to understand Genesis by focusing on Jacob, the son of Isaac and a patriarch of the ancient Jews. How should we understand his early struggle with Esau, the famous "Jacob's ladder," and his mysterious wrestling match and name change? That's what we discuss today. A listener asks, why is it that we just got this information from God, from the Bible, only 2,000 years ago? What happened to all those people who lived before the Bible?

WOF 316: Understanding Genesis: Jacob

<a href="https://store.magiscenter.com/products/the-catholic-faith-and-science-parish-edition-participant-workbook" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">Get the Workbook</a> | <a href="https://store.magiscenter.com/products/facilitators-guide-parish-edition-the-catholic-faith-and-science" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">Facilitator Guide</a> | The goal of the Christian life is to become like God, and Jesus’ most defining act of self-revelation was His offering of Himself as a sacrifice on the Cross. Among all religions of the world, Christianity alone places self-giving love above all else. Christianity alone teaches that an all-powerful God chose to enter the world humbly, offering empathy and compassion to all. And Christianity alone shows us that suffering (which will happen to us all if it has not already) is a way we can participate in the work of redemption. We can unite our suffering with Jesus’ suffering on the Cross and make a gift of it for the good of others, just like Jesus’ gift of unconditional love.At the conclusion of this chapter, you will have completed this course on Apologetics. If you were not impressed or persuaded by the content, it does not mean your faith is weak, or that you should close yourself off from believing in the future. Faith is a gift from God who ultimately respects your freedom and hopes you will freely choose to accept His invitation to follow Him. If you do, it may mean you have some measure of happiness in this life, and you will be assured of perfect happiness for eternity.In this episode you will learn that ...■ By uniting our suffering with Jesus’ on the Cross, suffering takes on an entirely new meaning and significance by becoming redemptive for the sufferer and for others.■ Among world religions, Christianity alone has made love central.■ Suffering helps move us towards agapē, increasing empathy, humility, forgiveness, and compassion, in imitation of the highest expression of agapē, Christ’s self-sacrifice on the Cross.■ If we have faith, we too can imitate Christ by offering our suffering to the Father as self-sacrifice to help in the work of redemption.■ When suffering comes, we can respond by praying, using prudence and reason, and by reshaping our expectation of happiness.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>).

Episode 20: Transforming Suffering through Faith & Prayer

Deacon Harold welcomes Dr. Scott Hahn to talk about Ignatius Catholic and also looking into Soulful Psalm 60.

Dr. Scott Hahn - Ignatius Catholic

Does being committed to social justice necessarily entail neglecting the liturgy? Conversely, do reverent liturgies entail downplaying or even ignoring the Church’s mission to care for the poor? The answer to both questions is a resounding, no. How should we understand the right relationship between the liturgy of the Church and the virtue of justice, including social justice? And practically speaking, how can we, as a Church, overcome the unnecessary divisions between so-called “liberal Catholics” and “conservative Catholics”?  A listener asks if someone can be Catholic but not believe in the Resurrection.   00:00 | Intro 01:20 | 10th National Eucharistic Congress recap 02:32 | Understanding the role and meaning of the liturgy 05:06 | The power of the spoken word in the liturgy 07:16 | The physicality of the liturgy 09:10 | Distinguishing between authentic and inauthentic liturgies 11:13 | Did Vatican II negatively effect the liturgy? 12:45 | Understanding justice as a cardinal virtue 14:45 | Relating justice and charity 18:24 | Social justice within a Catholic framework 20:34 | The relationship between loving God and loving neighbor 26:00 | Connecting the liturgy and social justice 27:33 | Is social justice possible without the liturgy? 28:51 | How cloistered monks and nuns serve the Church 30:01 | Bridging the divide between separated Catholics 31:40 | Listener question 33:50 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li> Bishop Barron’s article: <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/barron/the-higher-you-go-liturgically-the-lower-you-should-go-in-service-of-the-poor/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/barron/the-higher-you-go-liturgically-the-lower-you-should-go-in-service-of-the-poor/</a> </li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/" aria-label= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/ - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">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>!

Andy Churray & Patrick Meleney | Radical Love of the Homeless & Vulnerable (SPECIAL EPISODE - Napa Summer Conference Conversations)

The annual United Nations World Happiness Report, which measures the happiness of different countries, is always dominated by Scandinavian nations. Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and Finland have always been in the top ten. But what’s striking is that these happiest countries are also those which rank among the least religious. On the flip side, most African countries, which tend to be the very religious, consistently land near the bottom of the U.N. Happiness Report. What does Bishop Barron make of this? How should we actually define happiness, and what have the great thinkers and saints throughout time said about finding happiness? That’s what we discuss in today’s episode. A listener asks how we reconcile all the violence/competition seen in nature with the Creator God of peace.

WOF 124: Listener Q&A with Bishop Barron

Pulling the nuggets from the great Saints on how to find happiness and peace in our lives. Deacon Harold breaks it down today and also Soulful Psalm149:6-9.

The Saints Keys to Happiness

What happens when your money helps build the very culture you're trying to protect your soul—and your family—from? John Heinen sits down with Chris McMahon—Catholic entrepreneur, father of five, and founder of two financial firms, including Aquinas Wealth Advisors—to expose what’s broken in modern investing and how faithful men can do better. With over 35 years of experience and appearances on Fox News and the Wall Street Journal, Chris has seen firsthand how mainstream portfolios often fund abortion providers like Planned Parenthood, adult entertainment empires, and false ideologies that corrupt the dignity of the human person. 
 
Instead of looking away, he built a firm that offers clarity, conviction, and Catholic-aligned investment strategies. Alongside his wife Molly, Chris co-founded Mary’s Place, a home for struggling mothers, and continues to serve the Sisters of Life and Sisters of Mary with bold generosity. His story is one of quiet defiance—against greed, cultural compromise, and moral indifference. This conversation challenges men not only to steward their wealth wisely but to do so with eternal impact in mind.

Just A Guy In The Pew Podcast

Today, we’re excited to share with you Bishop Barron’s keynote talk from the <a href="https://university.acton.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "2023 Acton University - opens in new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link= "">2023 Acton University</a> conference, hosted by <a href="https://www.acton.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "The Acton Institute - opens in new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">The Acton Institute</a>. “Wokeism” is arguably the most influential public philosophy in our country today. It has worked its way into the minds and hearts of our young people, into the world of entertainment, and into the boardrooms of powerful corporations. But what is it precisely, and where did it come from? Bishop Barron argues in his presentation that “wokeism” is a popularization of critical theory, a farrago of ideas coming out of the French and German academies in the mid-twentieth century. Until we understand its origins in the thinking of Adorno, Horkheimer, Derrida, Marcuse, and Foucault, we will not know how critically to engage this dangerous philosophy.   NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bishopbarron">Become a patron</a> and get some great perks for helping, like free books, bonus content, and more.

Create Deep Connections  | Ep 6

Hello and welcome to <a href='http://EveryCatholicMan.com'>EveryCatholicMan.com</a>, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith, and grow in happiness by becoming  better Catholic Son and Catholic Father.This is a special announcement about the 2023 Every Catholic Man  Daily  Lenten Gospel Devotional. Each day during Lent, there will be a daily podcast to help draw closer to Jesus Christ and journey with Him from the ashes of Ash Wednesday to the Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Lent (meaning “long days”) is the ancient 40-day liturgical pilgrimage beginning with Ash Wednesday (ashes reminding of unavoidable death) in preparation for Easter, and eternal life in Christ.  Lent recalls Jesus’ 40 days of fasting and prayer in the desert in preparation for public ministry; every Catholic man is called to deep repentance and to prayer and fasting during Lent and to remember that a man’s life is short and he must do his best to serve God during the days he has been blessed to have on earth. At Lent, every Catholic man is challenged to take on a strenuous Lenten vow as a personal Sacrifice so he can  heroically set aside his desires for comfort and self-indulgence and in a small way imitate Jesus Christ’s Supreme Sacrifice of the Cross and draw closer to Him.  This Lent, consider sacrificing less than 15 minutes a day to draw closer to Jesus Christ and going deeper in the faith by listening to the Every Catholic Man Daily Lenten Gospel Devotional.If you are already familiar with the <a href='http://EveryCathoicMan.com'>EveryCathoicMan.com</a> Men Meet Jesus podcast which focuses on helping men prepare for the upcoming Sunday Mass, the daily Lenten Gospel Devotional will be familiar. Every day in Lent in the EveryCatholicMan.com  Daily Lenten Gospel Devotional, the daily Gospel from the Mass is read, there is a short commentary to help a man get a deeper understanding of what is happening in the Gospel, several aspects about how a man can become more Awed by Jesus Christ are noted, and there are two reflections to help a man grow in happiness by reflecting upon the day’s Gospel passages, including extensive references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church and action-focused prayers so a man can ask God for help and grow in happiness.Look for the <a href='http://EveryCatholicMan.com'>EveryCatholicMan.com</a> Daily Lenten Gospel Devotional starting on Ash Wednesday, February 22, 2023. If you’d like to go even further in your faith, at  <a href='http://EveryCatholicMan.com'>EveryCatholicMan.com</a> you can find an extensive library of materials which includes Gospel readings for every day of the Liturgical year and a complete set of tools to help you grow in holiness and happiness by becoming a Better Catholic Son and Catholic Father.Thanks for listening to the <a href='http://EveryCatholicMan.com'>EveryCatholicMan.com</a> podcast. Invite others to listen, it’s an easy way to help lead your family and friends to Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church.Until next time, always give God thanks He’s called you to the blessing and honor of being a Catholic man…and stay close to Jesus Christ.

You&rsquo;ll hear how they fight&mdash;with accountability, sacrifice, and a clear purpose: to reclaim their hearts for Jesus, their future brides, and their brothers. From shocking statistics to real stories of transformation, this is a call to every man who&rsquo;s tired of fighting alone.

WOF 433: Healing Antisocial America

You can&rsquo;t live as a true Christian man on your own. In Chapter Four, Holy Spirit, we enter the heart of power, purpose, and surrender. This chapter kicks off a four-part focus on the forgotten third person of the Trinity&mdash;who isn&rsquo;t just a &ldquo;spiritual idea&rdquo; but the fire and force that makes Christian living possible. &ldquo;You will receive power,&rdquo; Jesus said. And most of us are still trying to live without it. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Chapter 4: Holy Spirit

What if the deepest truth about you isn&rsquo;t your failures&mdash;but that you are loved? In &ldquo;Beloved Son,&rdquo; the most essential chapter of the book, we get a powerful reminder of our true identity&mdash;not as sinners, but as sons. This isn&rsquo;t just theory. It&rsquo;s personal, emotional, and deeply spiritual. Centered around Mark 1:11, where the Father says to Jesus, &ldquo;You are my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,&rdquo; this talk calls every man to hear those words for himself&mdash;and to believe them. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Friends, today we conclude our “Word on Fire Show” series on how to understand Genesis by focusing on Joseph, the great figure who went from slave to ruler of Egypt. How should we understand his sinking into slavery and prison? Or his gift for interpreting dreams? As Christians, what’s the big takeaway from the Joseph story? A listener asks, how do you begin learning philosophy casually without getting bogged down?

A Generational Curse Lifted: The Testimony of Tammy Comer

Brothers, we’re living in a time when manhood has been marginalized and undervalued, and it’s our duty to reclaim it. We have a dire need for brotherhood— a staggering 31% of Catholic men don't have a single friend! We men have a mandate from God on page 2 of Sacred Scripture: to serve, protect, and defend. But here’s the kicker: We can’t do it alone. Even Jesus needed help carrying His cross. We’re in a culture of compromise, where men have become too comfortable and complacent. It’s time to rise up and lead with courage, just like Matathias did during the epic wars of the Maccabees. We need to a new generation of Godly men. This isn’t just about us; it’s about the future of our families, our churches, and our culture. The strength we need comes from the Lord. So let’s band together and transform lives, because the harvest is plentiful, and the laborers are few. We need you, heroic men of God! <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/give">Donate to Heroic Men</a>

Essential Prayers for Catholic Men

Today we share Bishop Barron’s 2023 Commencement Address at Hillsdale College, delivered on May 13, 2023. In his address, Bishop Barron examined not the question of what we are to do in life—important as that is—but rather what kind of person we ought to be? Do we hunger and thirst for righteousness or do we seek our own advantage? In a way, he says, there is no question in the moral and spiritual order more fundamental than that.

WOF 398: The Most Important Decision in Life

Let’s be real: a lot of guys hear the word disciple and think, “Whoa, I just wanted to flip burgers at the church event, not become a disciple.” But here’s the truth: being a Catholic man today means stepping up, not just sitting on the sidelines. Sean Lynn has been on this journey for 30 years. He was a police officer, seeing firsthand what happens when dads aren’t there—broken families, young people lost, crime. "We need Catholic men who are unafraid to lead, unafraid to live their faith boldly. And yeah, I get it—fear is real. We’ll talk politics, sports, anything but Jesus. But Scripture says it 140 times: Be not afraid." God is calling each of us by name. Right now. Will you answer?
