What if your spiritual life didn’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—like an Our Father on the drive to work—can anchor your soul. You’ll hear how the rosary became more than just “something old Catholic ladies do,” why praying without ceasing isn’t as mysterious as it sounds, and how praying like a warrior can actually change your life—and your family.

If you’ve ever felt guilty, inconsistent, or overwhelmed about prayer, this is your episode. You’ll leave with encouragement, practical tools, and the conviction that even five minutes with God can turn your entire day around.
