Saint John Paul II’s legacy is monumental. He was great, even outside the Church, because of his role in international affairs — helping catalyze the collapse of Soviet communism, resisting efforts by worldly superpowers to impose international human rights abuses, and giving hope and courage to suffering peoples everywhere. He visited 129 countries, traveling more than 700,000 miles — more than all of his predecessors combined and nearly three times the distance of a round trip to the moon. Deacon Harold looks more into Heroic Leadership today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 35:15-18

Friends, what fuels our modern "culture of contempt," so prevalent online? And how can Catholics resist it? A helpful new book by John Allen, Jr., <a href= "https://wordonfire.org/contempt">Catholics and Contempt</a>, seeks to answer those questions, and on today's "Word on Fire Show" I discuss the book with Brandon Vogt. A listener asks, do the three transcendentals include unity?

WOF 389: Catholics and the Culture of Contempt

Continuing the journey in the fourth lecture of Bishop Barron's course, "<a href= "https://community.wordonfire.org/c/dantes-catholic-imagination">Dante's Catholic Imagination</a>," we see notion that "we're damned alone, but we're only saved together" on full display as Dante climbs Mount Purgatory. While hell was a place of violence and self absorption, purgatory is a place of charity, hope, and faith.

WOF 015: Against the YouTube Heresies (Part 2 of 2)

In this All Souls Day homily, Fr. Dom calls us to face the the reality of the last 4 things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell. Too many men live as if eternity doesn’t matter. But this episode will shake you awake. Heaven is your goal. Purgatory is real. Hell is forever. It’s time to get serious about your soul.Fr. Dom breaks open the connection between All Hallows Eve, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day; a sacred triptych that reveals the Church’s battle plan for salvation. These three days aren’t separate celebrations but one unified call to holiness. On All Hallows Eve, we prepare for the saints. On All Saints Day, we honor our heavenly family. And on All Souls Day, we fight for the souls still being purified in purgatory.The souls in purgatory need our prayers. The saints in heaven are cheering us on. And we, the Church Militant, must run the race like men who refuse to quit. Drawing from Scripture, the sacraments, and personal experience, Fr. Dom challenges men to live with eternity in mind and to aim for heaven, not purgatory.He also lays out the Church’s roadmap to sanctity: follow the commandments, receive the sacraments, live in a state of grace, and intercede daily for the holy souls in purgatory. This episode will leave you convicted, renewed, and ready to fight for your own salvation—and for the souls still waiting to see God face to face.Challenge for Men: This week, earn a plenary indulgence for the souls in purgatory. Go to confession, receive the Eucharist, visit a cemetery, pray for the intentions of the Holy Father, and intercede for the faithful departed. Souls are waiting for your prayers.Key Takeaway: Live every day as if it were your last. Follow the commandments, frequent the sacraments, and fight for heaven like your eternity depends on it—because it does.Powerful Quotes:<ol><li>“A saint is a sinner that never gives up.”</li><li>“The saints are on the sidelines saying, you can do this. I did it. Model my way of life.”</li><li>“If we don’t pray for the souls in purgatory, we commit an injustice.”</li></ol>This episode will not entertain you—it will prepare you for eternity. Press play, and take up your spiritual armor. The saints are watching. The souls are waiting. The race is on.<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!

Session 5: Receiving
We often have ingrained in our minds the idea that we must be self-sufficient, but that attitude cut us off from receiving the graces God wishes to give us. The pilgrims on the Kapaun walk wouldn’t get very far without the generosity and support of others along the way. Will you open yourself up to receive? (11 minutes)

Episode 5 - Receiving

Gentlemen, Holy Saturday is upon us. A solemn pause before the joy of Easter. In Day 40 of our Lenten journey with St. Joseph, we confront the weight of Christ’s sacrifice in sacred silence. I challenge you to join me for 12 minutes of reflection, honoring the 12 tribes and disciples, to ponder what Jesus did for you on the cross. He died for your sins—feel that truth today. No Mass, just waiting, fasting, and prayer as we anticipate His resurrection. I also share why silence is vital in our noisy world, drawing from Cardinal Sarah’s The Power of Silence. This episode is your chance to go deep, to be still, and to prepare your heart for tomorrow. Hit play, embrace the silence, and let’s finish Lent strong. Be a saint.SEO Keywords: Holy Saturday reflection, Catholic men podcast, St. Joseph Lent, sacred silence, Jesus sacrifice, Lenten series, Cardinal Sarah silence, Christian men spirituality, Easter vigil preparation, Catholic fasting.Products/References Mentioned:  <ul><li>The Power of Silence Against the Dictatorship of Noise by Cardinal Robert Sarah  </li><li>Immaculate Heart of Mary, Grand Rapids (perpetual adoration)  </li></ul>Powerful Quotes from the Transcript:  <ol><li>“He died because of my sins.

He is currently writing Thirst for a Life-Giving Water, a powerful account of his journey out of Islam and into the freedom of Christ. His work is a stand for truth, no matter the cost.

Deacon Harold continues his series on Mixing & Master Your Faith as he opens up a better understanding of prayer.

Mixing and Mastering Our Faith: The Pitch of Prayer

Light of the Saints: Alanis, Jack, Jimmy, and Ryan sit down virtually with Anna Camacho, founder of CORDA Candles. Anna and the CANDID crew discuss Anna’s inspiration for making candles dedicated to the lives of the saints; how a candle can help us pray and learn more about the lives of the saints; and the philosophy behind running a Catholic business for profit. Make sure to head on over to <a href="https://cordacandles.com/">www.cordacandles.com</a> to purchase your very own candles! Some of Anna’s favorites include Battle Cry (St. Michael), Fiat (Our Blessed Mother), and Carpenter Shop (St. Joseph).-- About Anna and CORDA Candles Anna has been handcrafting Catholic candles since 2019, when she started CORDA after St. Joseph gave her the nudge. Inspired by the holy men and women who have gone before us, she loves translating their lives into unique candle scents. Every day she's grateful to make things with her own hands and to run CORDA alongside her husband, Michael. And if there's ever a candle inspired by her life, it would smell like a Midwest thunderstorm, books, pizza, and Corgi kisses.Resources<a href="https://cordacandles.com/">www.cordacandles.com</a>-- Take our podcast survey to help us make A Reason for Hope better for YOU!<a href="https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com/">https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com</a>-- Visit 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.

He is the founder of Holy Family Evangelization, a Catholic coaching organization, AND he is the author of a brand-new book just being released, called, "How to Evangelize Anyone," which is a complete reversal for someone who was an atheist. He has evangelized at universities, Fortune 500 companies, and various non-profits in the U.S., Latin America, and Asia. He has also advised numerous organizations and parishes on evangelization and catechesis.

Pope Leo XIV said true satisfaction is found not in the accumulation of money or things, or by “too much doing,” but by returning to Jesus Christ, the source of hope, love, and joy. Deacon Harold opens this up more as we prepare for Lent.

The Shroud of Turin

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father. Today we hear Jesus, the Divine King, give the Parable of the Sheep and Goats which confirms that He will judge all nations and that His followers who practice the Works of Mercy will receive eternal life in His Kingdom and those who do not will be sent to the eternal fire with the devil and his demons. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to beg for the Gift of the Fear of the Lord so he can continually remember the Four Last Things. We’ll also consider the absolute importance for every Catholic man to practice the Corporal Works of Mercy by building the Virtue of Charity.

EP 128 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

A <a href= "https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/men-losing-close-friends-poll-163954930.html"> recent poll</a> from the Survey Center on American Life revealed that people are rapidly losing their close friends, especially men. The number of American men who view themselves as having "no close friends" quintupled over the last 30 years, increasing from 3 percent in 1990 to 15 percent in 2021. Why is this happening, and how can we reverse it? How can we develop closer friendships? Bishop Barron and Brandon Vogt discuss those questions today. A listener asks, why does God love us?

WOF 300: Why We Need Close Friends

Whenever there's a survey asking Christians, "What's one area in your spiritual life you'd like to improve?", the answers almost inevitably center around prayer. In today's episode, Bishop Barron explains what precisely prayer is and then offers some simple steps as well as some more advanced techniques to help us all grow in intimacy with God. With this goal in mind, Bishop Barron leads listeners down five different avenues of prayer that range from informal dialogue to the mass itself. Finally, the listener question comes from a seminarian in Phoenix who wonders where Catholics should draw the line when it comes to the teachings of a notable 21st-century Christian writer.

While all four levels of happiness are good, if we want a truly satisfying and peaceful life, we will want to focus on making a positive difference for others, the culture we live in, and the Kingdom of God.Even more, we will not try to ignore our desire for the transcendent. Ultimately, experiencing level four happiness requires us to follow God’s call to Himself by making a little leap of faith. If we do make this leap, God strengthens our relationship with Him through grace. And then we come to know in our hearts the most comforting truth of all: that true happiness does not depend on things we have, or how we compare to others, or on anything else temporary in this world, but comes from giving ourselves completely to God, who brings us to the perfectly loving home we yearn for.In this episode you will learn that ...■ Our view of happiness shapes what we are looking for in life.■ To transition out of a level one-two dominant life, we will need to change our fundamental attitudes on the purpose of our life, our view of others, our view of ourselves, and our view of freedom.■ Looking for the good in others makes it easier to empathize with them and looking for the good in ourselves helps us live up to our God-given potential.■ If we have the perspective of “freedom for” rather than “freedom from,” we will see that the constraint, self-discipline, and sacrifices of lower levels of happiness are worthwhile if they lead to level three and four happiness, making life more peaceful and satisfying.■ God wants us to freely choose Him, and calls us to Him in our hearts, as well as through a Church community, transcendent beauty, and philosophical and theological wisdom.■ We must choose to follow the call of the transcendent by making a little leap of faith.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

Today we share the first half of Bishop Barron's 2020 address at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, titled "Called Into the Depths." He discussed three sailors from the Bible: the patriarch Noah, the prophet Jonah, and our Savior Jesus Christ. The sea can be thought of as something frightening and terrifying, standing athwart the purposes of God with its unforgiving power and discouraging darkness. However, when we allow ourselves to be swallowed up by the Lord's will, we will find a peace that is sure and unshakable, even in the midst of the worst storms.

Friends, in many parts of the world the Catholic Church is shrinking. Parishes are closing or merging, pastors are devising strategies of consolidation. But for the Church to flourish, we can't just manage decline. We need strategies for growth. That's what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today's "The Word on Fire Show."

BONUS: Q&A on Ghosts, Lost Souls and Protestant Deliverance

Recently, Bishop Barron watched several YouTube conversation between Sam Harris, a well-known atheist, and Dr. Jordan Peterson, one of the most prominent and beguiling intellectuals today. We've talked in past episodes about Dr. Peterson's reliance on Carl Jung, and his archetypal reading of the Bible, but today we explore Dr. Peterson's similarities to Immanuel Kant, especially when it comes to the question of God. A listener asks why a Hindu should become Christian if Hinduism seems to have a more peaceful history.

WOF 167: Jordan Peterson's Next Step

Cliff Riley went to the University of Dallas to play Division 3 basketball, and almost as soon as he arrived, he started applying to transfer out. Ninety pages of reading a day and a campus full of rules seemed like a steep price for a jump shot, and he came very close to heading home to UCLA. Then the Great Books got under his skin, and so did a group of guys who were real athletes, totally normal, and dead serious about their faith. The school he tried to escape is where his faith eventually started.
Cliff Riley is back at the Tiny Table with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein of The BeatiDudes, this time to tell his own faith story. His dad studied for the priesthood, left seminary, and spent years away from the Church before finding his way back. Cliff explains why a classical education teaches you that the hardest questions are ancient ones, and why no political program or two-hour HR seminar will ever erase the line between good and evil that, as Solzhenitsyn put it, runs through every human heart. Plus: why spring Romers claim to be holier, why an entire Catholic university goes all in on Groundhog Day, and exactly how many credit hours Jeff is from finishing his MBA.

Friends, the <a href= "https://bible.usccb.org/bible/jonah/0">Book of Jonah</a> is one of the shortest books of the Bible, yet it's packed with profound truths about hearing and obeying the voice of God. On today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," Brandon Vogt and I discuss this powerful little book. A listener asks, why did Jesus show up when he did and not at a different point in time?

WOF 427: Hearing the Voice of God

Be aware of what doesn't fit the stereotype.
…
Hosts Pat Lencioni and Chris Stefanick give a daily reflection for Christians in the workplace.

Greed is Not What We Think

Challenging conversations, practical advice and inspiring stories. This is the podcast for Catholics trying to navigate modern secular culture grounded in the perennial teachings of Jesus Christ and His one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church.
With backgrounds in venture capital, advertising, finance and technology, we're two committed Catholic Christians seeking to lead humble Christian lives, become Saints and help as many people make it to Heaven as we can. We drink coffee and discuss life, business, culture, family and education through a Christian lens.​
COFFEE (kaw-fee): a beverage brewed from the roasted and ground seeds of tropical evergreen coffee plants. We drink it.
COMMERCE (kom-urs): (1) social intercourse and exchange of ideas, opinions, or sentiments; &nbsp;(2) the activity of buying and selling goods and services. We do it. ​
CATECHESIS (kat-uh-kee-sis): basic Christian religious education and a life-long process of conversion, formation and learning. We need it.&nbsp;

Coffee, Commerce & Catechesis

Brazilian Jiu-Jietsu & The Spiritual Life (Andrew Swafford) | Ep. 295

Happy feast of the assumption of Mary, y'all! Today I talk a little about the assumption of Mary, I respond to what Protestant apologist, Norm Geisler has to say regarding Aquinas and the dogma of the assumption and then (....drum roll....) I share a portion of a brand new audio book, Pope Pius XII's apostolic constitution in which he defines as dogma Mary's assumption into Heaven ... huh? ...

67.5 Why Norm Geisler is wrong about Aquinas and the assumption of Mary

Sometimes even the best leaders can forget that in the end leadership isn’t about them.  If we are leading our people, it’s to lead them to something bigger than ourselves and sometimes we have to die to ourselves in order to bring people to something that will really be good for them.  At Cana in Galilee the Virgin Mary triggers a series of events that will lead to our Lord’s crucifixion and death.  She hastens the hour of its coming even though that means that she will have to say goodbye sooner.  She teaches us how to lead even when that means saying goodbye.

Today we'll take a look at what Aquinas has to say about polytheism. Then we'll take five questions from patrons, including a question on the difference between Pelagianism and Semi-Pelagianism. Then, just for fun, I'll share with you my top seven short stories.

A married Catholic priest and his wife... (part 1)

Ask any organizational leader what the hardest part of their job is and they will all say the same thing: managing people.  You cannot win at business without your people but your people can often be the reason why you lose at business.  Becoming an excellent manager is an art and a skill as much as it is a natural talent.  In Chapter 3 of his work, On The Rule Of Shepherds, Pope St. Gregory The Great gives us insight that can help all of us with this difficult task.

Reacting to Brett Cooper's Thoughts on P0rn

Episode 188: More than a Feeling 

Do you ever have a day when you just want to veg out? Sometimes we just have bad days and cracking open a cold beer sounds a lot more appealing than cracking open the Bible. But if we want to be saints, we need to form holy habits, regardless of our feelings. The martyrs have shown us the strength that comes from prioritizing Faith over feelings.

In this episode you will hear John and Victor say:

- “When you are not focusing on yourself, I show up” 
- “The devil is the one that wants us to live in our feelings” 
- “We shouldn't be doing our devotionals and prayers looking for gratification”
- ”Love is  often written off as a feeling, but love is an act of the will”

More Than A Feeling

There are three ways of knowing a thing: first, by revelation, and thus anyone may know that he has grace, for God by a special privilege reveals this at times to some, in order that the joy of safety may begin in them even in this life, and that they may carry on toilsome works with greater trust and greater energy, and may bear the evils of this present life, as when it was said to Paul (2 Corinthians 12:9): "My grace is sufficient for thee." Secondly, a man may, of himself, know something, and with certainty; and in this way no one can know that he has grace. For certitude about a thing can only be had when we may judge of it by its proper principle. Thus it is by undemonstrable universal principles that certitude is obtained concerning demonstrative conclusions. Now no one can know he has the knowledge of a conclusion if he does not know its principle. But the principle of grace and its object is God, Who by reason of His very excellence is unknown to us, according to Job 36:26: "Behold God is great, exceeding our knowledge." And hence His presence in us and His absence cannot be known with certainty, according to Job 9:11: "If He come to me, I shall not see Him; if He depart I shall not understand." And hence man cannot judge with certainty that he has grace, according to 1 Corinthians 4:3-4: "But neither do I judge my own self . . . but He that judgeth me is the Lord." Thirdly, things are known conjecturally by signs; and thus anyone may know he has grace, when he is conscious of delighting in God, and of despising worldly things, and inasmuch as a man is not conscious of any mortal sin. And thus it is written (Apocalypse 2:17): "To him that overcometh I will give the hidden manna . . . which no man knoweth, but he that receiveth it," because whoever receives it knows, by experiencing a certain sweetness, which he who does not receive it, does not experience. Yet this knowledge is imperfect; hence the Apostle says (1 Corinthians 4:4): "I am not conscious to myself of anything, yet am I not hereby justified," since, according to Psalm 18:13: "Who can understand sins? From my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord, and from those of others spare Thy servant." ST I-II. Q. 112, A. 5.

Jesus commands men not to judge and condemn others and warns of their own coming Judgment. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by building the Virtue of Kindness so he can routinely perform many small acts of kindness to others and by growing in the Virtue of Meekness so he can reject wrath and the condemnation of others.

What if your spiritual life didn&rsquo;t have to fall apart every time life got hectic? In this episode, Tom Hornichek and Dean Patterson tackle the exact struggles Catholic men face trying to pray consistently in a world of deadlines, distractions, and daily chaos. Starting from personal stories of lukewarm faith, burnout, and spiritual drift, they chart a path toward a simple, sustainable prayer life built for real men with real responsibilities.
Discover why routine beats intensity, how apps and tools like Amen and Magnificat can jumpstart your mornings, and why short prayers&mdash;like an Our Father on the drive to work&mdash;can anchor your soul. You&rsquo;ll hear how the rosary became more than just &ldquo;something old Catholic ladies do,&rdquo; why praying without ceasing isn&rsquo;t as mysterious as it sounds, and how praying like a warrior can actually change your life&mdash;and your family.
If you&rsquo;ve ever felt guilty, inconsistent, or overwhelmed about prayer, this is your episode. You&rsquo;ll leave with encouragement, practical tools, and the conviction that even five minutes with God can turn your entire day around.

How Busy Catholic Men Can Build a Prayer Life That Doesn’t Collapse - E3

Leaders know that they’re talented.  You know that you have gifts that you are called to share.  But how do you stay humble?  Is it ever okay to refuse the honor of leadership out of a sense of deference or humility?  And on the other hand is it ever okay to accept to lead because you know that you are the best one for the job?  These are the questions that St. Gregory The Great treats in chapters 5, 6, and 7 of his book, “Regula Pastoralis”, that is, “A Rule For Shepherds.”

DGT Episode 136 - St. Gregory The Great - Of Leaders And Shepherds Part 3

A Dram with Phillip Chavez

Without a doubt one of the hardest parts of being a leader is that we have to embrace solitude.  In this series we are looking at the various dimensions or kinds of solitude that leaders embrace and how Jesus meets each one of us along the way.  In this fourth part of our series we focus in on the solitude of risks.  On the fact that when we decide to act we inevitably have to act alone.  Or do we?  Perhaps it’s in our greatest solitude that we find union with Christ.

Annual Family Planning Masterclass

What makes a Catholic man? It's not about doing more or being louder—it's about quiet heroism, relentless service, and mastering your inner self. Dominic walks around the essence of true masculinity inspired by powerful stories—from Aragorn to Tony Stark—looking for practical steps to step up as leaders, fathers, and warriors for good. The Oath from the talk: "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I pledge to love my wife, tend my responsibilities, and be a father to all children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night’s Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.”ABOUT DOMINIC: Dominic de Souza is a cradle-Catholic passionate about how Faith, history, and science meet in today’s world. Born in New Zealand, studied in Fiji and France, was raised in Australia, and now living in the USA. He is riveted by the Catholic frontier between faith, science, and history. He is fixated on discovering healthy, disciplined, and courageous examples of manhood and fatherhood for himself, and his family. More from Dominic at https://smartcatholics.com/

WOF 153: Listener Q&A with Bishop Barron

Terms like "safe spaces," "trigger warnings," "harm reduction," "micro-aggression," "emotional wellbeing" and "fragility" are dominating the culture as well as the governance of many institutions. But by some measurements, our society is more physically compromised and mentally delicate than ever. Today, we discuss the contemporary embrace of "safety" and whether it overlaps with a Catholic understanding of the individual and common good. A listener asks, can a priest ever deny absolution during confession? 00:00 | Intro 01:51 | Bishop Barron's Confirmation season 02:30 | Understanding the contemporary use of "safety" 07:45 | The relationship between risk, safety, and flourishing 12:23 | The emotional life and its role 16:14 | Physical safety as the highest good 21:36 | Speech as a form of violence 24:04 | The spiritual works of mercy vs. coddling 25:16 | Safety and the cardinal virtues 26:42 | Christ crucified and the value of safety 27:58 | Listener question 30:03 | Word on Fire Institute Links: <ul> <li>Learn about the Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/ - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" 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" aria-label= "Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

WOF 200: Understanding the Post-Vatican II Church

Fr. Jean-Pierre de Caussade's spiritual classic, Abandonment to Divine Providence, taught that everything falls under God's will, from our delights to our challenges, and our happiness will only be fully realized in cooperating with that will. But does this include painful and traumatic experiences? What about COVID? Bishop Barron and Brandon discuss these questions as well as a priest, Fr. Walter Ciszek, who heroically embodied this spiritual principle. A listener asks, if all of us were like Jesus, wouldn't the world be really boring?

The Word on Fire Show - Catholic Faith and Culture

Most men are living with a broken sense of identity, stuck trying to prove their worth through titles, achievements, or fighting off past failures. Father John Riccardo cuts through the noise with a powerful truth: your worth isn’t earned—it’s a gift. He breaks down how the devil works like a Navy SEAL, isolating and crushing you with lies about your value, and shows you how to fight back by anchoring yourself in God’s love. Using personal stories and actionable strategies like praying with Romans 8 and Galatians 4, he challenges you to ask Jesus directly, “Who do you say I am?”—and find freedom in the answer. If you’re ready to stop performing and start living as the man God created you to be, this is your moment.Fr. John Riccardo, missionary and ACTS XXIX Executive Director. He was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Detroit in 1996. In 2019, after 23 years in parish ministry, he founded Acts XXIX to proclaim the gospel in an attractive and compelling way and to equip clergy and lay leaders for the age in which God has chosen us to live. Fr. John is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the Gregorian University, and the Pope John Paul I Institute for Studies on Marriage and the Family. Learn more about ACTS XXIX at actsxxix.org

Friends, our culture is obsessed with self-determination: finding our own voice, setting our own agenda, doing things according to our own lights. But is this problematic? And what does the Bible have to say about self-determination? On today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," Brandon Vogt and I discuss how, in the Christian tradition, heroes are never those who "find themselves," but rather those who heed the voice of God and remain obedient to the mission that God has given them. A listener asks, how do you possibly balance a passion for baseball with your faith life?

Eucharistic Miracles: Part 1

Why do so many young people drift away from God and the Church, and how can we help them return? This is a pressing question for all Catholics, but especially for parents who are brokenhearted about their own sons or daughters who have become unaffiliated. In today's episode, Bishop Barron and Brandon Vogt discuss Brandon's new book, just published by Word on Fire, titled <a href= "https://wordonfire.org/return">Return: How to Draw Your Child Back to the Church</a>, which provides a game plan for parents hoping to see their loved ones come back to the faith. A listener asks, what is the promise that God gives us if we keep His commandments? Eternal life, or something else? And what, exactly, is eternal life?
