In 2011, during a quiet moment of Eucharistic Adoration, Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers felt an undeniable call from God: leave behind his 23-year law enforcement career and speak the Gospel to the world. He didn’t have a plan. He didn’t even want the job. Yet that one moment set him on a journey to 34 countries, preaching to priests in the remote mountains of Papua New Guinea, connecting with isolated communities, and inspiring men to embrace true brotherhood. 

In this conversation, Deacon Harold shares how that leap of faith transformed his mission, his health, and his understanding of manhood. You’ll hear about 100-pound weight loss, the power of prayer, the beauty of simplicity, and why St. Joseph remains the ultimate role model for men. If you’ve ever felt unworthy, unprepared, or unsure of your next step — this story will change the way you see your calling.
