126: The 4 Marks of the Church, 5 Really BAD Popes, & Your Questions

In this conversation, Sean Lynn and Andre Regnier discuss various topics related to faith and evangelization. They start with a whiskey tasting and share a special moment at St. Joseph&#39;s Oratory. They talk about the hunger for more in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and the importance of productive and fruitful times in ministry. They discuss the distinction between evangelization and catechesis and the need for a relationship in evangelization. They also explore the role of weakness and mercy in the Christian life and the importance of establishing a daily prayer life. They end with a discussion on cooking steak and their favorite saints.
Takeaways
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a hunger for more and a greater interest in asking bigger questions about life and faith.
Evangelization is distinct from catechesis and involves inviting others to a relationship with Jesus rather than just providing information or formation.
Weakness is an opportunity for God to be strong, and mercy is essential in overcoming shame and allowing God&#39;s love and healing to enter our lives.
Establishing a daily prayer life is important for developing a relationship with God and discerning His will.
Cooking steak requires timing and resting the meat to ensure the best flavor and texture.

A Dram with Andre Regnier

It has been said that human society can be divided into those who have and those who have not.  For many this opposition is the source of a lot of contention and fighting.  But does it have to be this way?  In his encyclical, “Rerum Novarum”, Pope Leo XIII uses this very question as an opportunity to present an attractive proposition of the Gospel.  In fact, Christians need to fill the space of possessions, talents, needs, and wants with Jesus Christ.  This is the role of the Catholic leader.

Most of us remember the life of King David in the Old Testament but few of us have ever studied the life of King Saul.  Just as the life of King David is an example to us of great leadership, the life of King Saul can be seen as an example of what I call “Anti-Leadership.”  In 1 Samuel 18 and 19, this anti leadership is on full display.  Saul is not only afraid to fight Goliath but gets jealous of David.  And his fear and jealousy have a lot to teach us about our own leadership today.

Repentance

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>

Here's the text from today's meditation: That Christ should die was expedient. 1. To make our redemption complete. For, although any suffering of Christ had an infinite value, because of its union with His divinity, it was not by no matter which of His sufferings that the redemption of mankind was made complete, but only by His death. So the Holy Spirit declared speaking through the mouth of Caiaphas, It is expedient for you that one man shall die for the people (John xi. 50). Whence St. Augustine says, "Let us stand in wonder, rejoice, be glad, love, praise, and adore since it is by the death of our Redeemer, that we have been called from death to life, from exile to our own land, from mourning to joy." 2. To increase our faith, our hope and our charity. With regard to faith the Psalm says (Ps. cxl. 10), I am alone until I pass from this world, that is, to the Father. When I shall have passed to the Father, then shall I be multiplied. Unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die itself remaineth alone (John xii. 24). As to the increase of hope St, Paul writes, He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things? (Rom. viii. 32). God cannot deny us this, for to give us all things is less than to give His own Son to death for us. St. Bernard says, "Who is not carried away to hope and confidence in prayer, when he looks on the crucifix and sees how Our Lord hangs there, the head bent as though to kiss, the arms outstretched in an embrace, the hands pierced to give, the side opened to love, the feet nailed to remain with us." Come, my dove, in the clefts of the rock (Cant. ii. 14). It is in the wounds of Christ the Church builds its nest and waits, for it is in the Passion of Our Lord that she places her hope of salvation, and thereby trusts to be protected from the craft of the falcon, that is, of the devil. With regard to the increase of charity, Holy Scripture says, At noon he burneth the earth (Ecclus. xliii. 3), that is to say, in the fervour of His Passion He burns up all mankind with His love. So St. Bernard says, "The chalice thou didst drink, O good Jesus, maketh thee lovable above all things." The work of our redemption easily, brushing aside all hindrances, calls out in return the whole of our love. This it is which more gently draws out our devotion, builds it up more straightly, guards it more closely, and fires it with greater ardour. Learn more about your ad choices.

Authentic FRATERNITY & BeatiDude Affirmations | Will Hickl | Episode #064

Today I take a look at what Aquinas had to say about correcting our Christian friends (and leaders ... like the Pope and stuff ... {crickets} ...) Please <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">support our work here</a> and get COOL rewards as a thank you! Here's what I read from the ST II-II, Q. 33. Article 1. Whether fraternal correction is an act of charity? On the contrary, To correct the wrongdoer is a spiritual almsdeed. But almsdeeds are works of charity, as stated above (II-II:32:1). Therefore fraternal correction is an act of charity. I answer that, The correction of the wrongdoer is a remedy which should be employed against a man's sin. Now a man's sin may be considered in two ways, first as being harmful to the sinner, secondly as conducing to the harm of others, by hurting or scandalizing them, or by being detrimental to the common good, the justice of which is disturbed by that man's sin. Consequently the correction of a wrongdoer is twofold, one which applies a remedy to the sin considered as an evil of the sinner himself. This is fraternal correction properly so called, which is directed to the amendment of the sinner. Now to do away with anyone's evil is the same as to procure his good: and to procure a person's good is an act of charity, whereby we wish and do our friend well. Consequently fraternal correction also is an act of charity, because thereby we drive out our brother's evil, viz. sin, the removal of which pertains to charity rather than the removal of an external loss, or of a bodily injury, in so much as the contrary good of virtue is more akin to charity than the good of the body or of external things. Therefore fraternal correction is an act of charity rather than the healing of a bodily infirmity, or the relieving of an external bodily need. There is another correction which applies a remedy to the sin of the wrongdoer, considered as hurtful to others, and especially to the common good. This correction is an act of justice, whose concern it is to safeguard the rectitude of justice between one man and another. Article 4. Whether a man is bound to correct his prelate? Objection 1. It would seem that no man is bound to correct his prelate. For it is written (Exodus 19:12): "The beast that shall touch the mount shall be stoned," [Vulgate: 'Everyone that shall touch the mount, dying he shall die.'] and (2 Samuel 6:7) it is related that the Lord struck Oza for touching the ark. Now the mount and the ark signify our prelates. Therefore prelates should not be corrected by their subjects. Objection 2. Further, a gloss on Galatians 2:11, "I withstood him to the face," adds: "as an equal." Therefore, since a subject is not equal to his prelate, he ought not to correct him. Objection 3. Further, Gregory says (Moral. xxiii, 8) that "one ought not to presume to reprove the conduct of holy men, unless one thinks better of oneself." But one ought not to think better of oneself than of one's prelate. Therefore one ought not to correct one's prelate. On the contrary, Augustine says in his Rule: "Show mercy not only to yourselves, but also to him who, being in the higher position among you, is therefore in greater danger." But fraternal correction is a work of mercy. Therefore even prelates ought to be corrected. I answer that, A subject is not competent to administer to his prelate the correction which is an act of justice through the coercive nature of punishment: but the fraternal correction which is an act of charity is within the competency of everyone in respect of any person towards whom he is bound by charity, provided there be something in that person which requires correction. Now an act which proceeds from a habit or power extends to whatever is contained under the object of that power or habit: thus vision extends to all things comprised in the object of sight. Since, however, a virtuous act needs to be moderated by due circumstances, it follows that when a subject corrects his prelate, he ought to do so in a becoming manner, not with impudence and harshness, but with gentleness and respect. Hence the Apostle says (1 Timothy 5:1): "An ancient man rebuke not, but entreat him as a father." Wherefore Dionysius finds fault with the monk Demophilus (Ep. viii), for rebuking a priest with insolence, by striking and turning him out of the church. Reply to Objection 1. It would seem that a subject touches his prelate inordinately when he upbraids him with insolence, as also when he speaks ill of him: and this is signified by God's condemnation of those who touched the mount and the ark. Reply to Objection 2. To withstand anyone in public exceeds the mode of fraternal correction, and so Paul would not have withstood Peter then, unless he were in some way his equal as regards the defense of the faith. But one who is not an equal can reprove privately and respectfully. Hence the Apostle in writing to the Colossians (4:17) tells them to admonish their prelate: "Say to Archippus: Fulfil thy ministry [Vulgate: 'Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.' Cf. 2 Timothy 4:5." It must be observed, however, that if the faith were endangered, a subject ought to rebuke his prelate even publicly. Hence Paul, who was Peter's subject, rebuked him in public, on account of the imminent danger of scandal concerning faith, and, as the gloss of Augustine says on Galatians 2:11, "Peter gave an example to superiors, that if at any time they should happen to stray from the straight path, they should not disdain to be reproved by their subjects." Reply to Objection 3. To presume oneself to be simply better than one's prelate, would seem to savor of presumptuous pride; but there is no presumption in thinking oneself better in some respect, because, in this life, no man is without some fault. We must also remember that when a man reproves his prelate charitably, it does not follow that he thinks himself any better, but merely that he offers his help to one who, "being in the higher position among you, is therefore in greater danger," as Augustine observes in his Rule quoted above.

Interview with an Exorcist (Fr. Vincent Lampert) | Ep. 268

Sacred scripture is replete with references to leadership.  And the wisdom of the Saints such as St. Paul can have great impact for the leaders of today.  What does St. Paul leave behind him?  In this series on the First Letter of St. Paul to Timothy I want to examine the lessons in leadership that Paul bequeaths to his young follower.  In chapter one we see Paul leaving a legacy of character based leadership that must both maintain the old and bring it to the new.

About the Topic:
Many times when we sin, it is because we have entertained a disorder and perceived it to be good. When we do sin many times it is hard to forget about what we have done and we can glorify the sin. "Forgiveness of sins by God is precisely the highest and the most eminent form of the purification of memory. That is because the divine forgiveness really erases and destroys the sin, so that its weight does not burden the conscience anymore."
How we can help purify the mind: 1. Confession 2. Adoration and an increase in prayer life which increases the theological virtue of hope 3 Holy thoughts and images.

Glendalough Pot Still Irish Whiskey -

There is no more Irish a whiskey than Pot Still, so we felt it was fitting to age it in Irish Oak.

We at Glendalough Distillery are proud to play our part in bringing back the use of Irish oak for whiskey cask-making.

This most quintessentially Irish style of whiskey, pot still, is first matured in ex-bourbon casks, then in Irish Oak felled in the mountains around the distillery.

While the bourbon cask softens and sweetens the whiskey, the higher levels of flavor in Irish oak complement and balance the classic pot still spices.

<div></div>
<div>

There’s a common thread among thousands of formerly sinful people we now call Saints.

They had a relationship with God.

Which then inspired them to ‘set the world on fire’ as Catherine of Sienna put it.

But, more specifically, it meant they put in the time.

They sat with the Lord. Spoke with Him. Listened to Him.

Daily.

They unveiled their hearts and wounds and problems to Him.

They offered him thanks and gratitude.

They left their sufferings with Him on the altar.

They begged for His help.

My question to you: are you putting in the time?

I’m not talking about time to just talk at Him or sit in church making a mental grocery list. I’m talking about time to build a consistent, honest relationship. Time to speak, and time to listen.

Whether you want to pray a daily holy hour or hit up adoration once a week, I have a guide here from the makers of Exodus 90 specifically about praying a Holy Hour.

Inside, you’ll find a simple breakdown that shows you how to structure your time with the Lord.

You can grab the mobile-friendly guide for free at <a href="http://exodus90.com/tcms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Exodus90.com/tcms</a>

8th Day of Easter

Both are necessary, just not always at the same time.
&hellip; Hosts Pat Lencioni and Chris Stefanick give a daily reflection for Christians in the workplace.

Vertical and Horizontal

Today we talk all about Mary, the Mother of God. Enjoy! Please support me (thanks!) at Patreon.com/mattfradd THE MOTHER OF CHRIST The error of Nestorius, who refused to acknowledge that Blessed Mary is the Mother of God, is likewise excluded. Both Creeds assert that the Son of God was born or was made flesh of the Virgin Mary. The woman of whom any person is born is called his mother, for the reason that she supplies the matter for human conception. Hence the Blessed Virgin Mary, who provided the matter for the conception of the Son of God, should be called the true mother of the Son of God. As far as the essence of motherhood is concerned, the energy whereby the matter furnished by a woman is formed, does not enter into the question. She who supplied matter to be formed by the Holy Spirit is no less a mother than a woman who supplies matter that is to be formed by the energy latent in male seed. If anyone insists on maintaining that the Blessed Virgin ought not to be called the Mother of God because flesh alone and not divinity was derived from her, as Nestorius contended, he clearly is not aware of what he is saying. A woman is not called a mother for the reason that everything that is in her child is derived from her. Man is made up of body and soul; and a man is what he is in virtue of his soul rather than in virtue of his body. But no man's soul is derived from his mother. The soul is either created by God directly, as the true doctrine has it, or, if it were produced by transplanting, as some have fancied, it would be derived from the father rather than from the mother. For in the generation of other animals, according to the teaching of philosophers, the male gives the soul, the female gives the body. Consequently, just as any woman is a mother from the fact that her child's body is derived from her, so the Blessed Virgin Mary ought to be called the Mother of God if the body of God is derived from her. But we have to hold that it is the body of God, if it is taken up into the unity of the person of God's Son, who is true God. Therefore all who admit that human nature was assumed by the Son of God into the unity of His person, must admit that the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of God. But Nestorius, who denied that the person of God and of the man Jesus Christ was one, was forced by logical necessity to deny that the Virgin Mary was the Mother of God.

Case #05 - All In Your Head - Pt. 1

Christian leaders follow Christ – even though it seems contradictory to say leaders follow – this is what makes our leadership special.  It’s not about us.  It’s about Him and the influence He gives to the world through us.  The Virgin Mary demonstrates this admirable in her own life.  She is Christ’s perfect servant by doing everything that she can to make Him known and loved.  We can see this throughout his apostolic life but especially at two key moments.

DGT Episode 237 - Leading By Following - Mary Queen Of Leaders Part 9

In this bonus episode, we have a special interview with Fr. Donald Calloway where we discuss:  

 - St. Joseph was a heroic man who defended Mary and Jesus 
 - St. Joseph probably wasn’t an old man 
 - You can learn a lot about St. Joseph by looking at Jesus

In this podcast we’ll learn that:

 - It’s not how you climb the mountain that matters, it’s how you walk down and do the work
 - The transfiguration reminds us that we are all invited to join the Kingdom of God
 - If you struggle with change, ask Jesus to help convert your heart.

Transformation

Two young saints, one who loved mountaineering and the other rocked Nike sneakers: Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati prove holiness doesn’t mean leaving normal life behind—it means living it to the fullest with Christ. 

Father Dave and Deacon Bob reflect on Pope Leo’s homily at the canonization Mass for these two young Italians and explore why so many saints begin saying yes to God in their youth. 
True to They That Hope form, they take a lap through the weekend in sports, from NFL openers to U.S. Open storylines to the eternal LeBron vs. Jordan debate. Then they settle into the title’s theme: modern sanctity. Carlo’s wisdom (“In front of the sun you get a tan; in front of the Eucharist, you become a saint”) and Frassati’s cry “to the heights!” frame a simple invitation: say yes to the Lord today. 
They close with campus updates, a prayer, and a warm invitation to share your favorite podcast memories. Saints Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati, pray for us!

Why a Chicago Trial Lawyer Left His Job to Follow Jesus

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob discuss fantasy football, Padre Pio, Shia LaBeouf, and the end of the first chapter of Philippians.

Philippians 1:12-30

This week’s episode swings from dodgeball chaos at Franciscan University to international hockey heartbreak as Team USA falls to Canada. Father Dave and Deacon Bob also unpack the Yankees’ shocking decision to allow facial hair—and ponder whether robot umpires and AI-controlled baseball are the future of America’s pastime. Oh, and Juan Soto buys a teammate a $92,000 SUV for a jersey number. All-star moves, indeed. 
In entertainment news, the hosts react to Amazon’s takeover of the James Bond franchise, reminisce about their favorite 007s (yes, George Lazenby gets a mention), and reflect on the trend of turning beloved characters into corporate IP machines. Spoiler: they’re not thrilled. 
The heart of the episode is a deep, compassionate look at in vitro fertilization following President Trump’s executive order expanding IVF access. Father Dave and Deacon Bob thoughtfully explain the Church’s teaching on human dignity, the moral challenges of embryo preservation, and the pain of infertility—all while offering hope, prayer, and clarity for couples carrying this difficult cross.

Robo-Baseball

Today we’re talking about how life’s circumstances can negatively affect us on our mission of being ambassadors for Christ. We get caught up in the emotions of a situation and forget that we are called to live our lives with joy, even in the midst of trials. Remember that St. Paul wrote about rejoicing in the Lord while he sat in a prison cell! 

In this podcast, we’ll learn that:
- We are called to be the light of the world in all circumstances
- The apostles faced immeasurable trials and continued to praise Christ with joy
- We must learn to be grateful for our journey and keep our focus on Christ.

Raising Kids Catholic + Q&A w/ Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

In this episode, Victor Adams and I talk about PURPOSE. It’s all too easy for our daily lives to feel like an endless cycle of repetition. So we try to find things to give us pleasure and avoid a feeling of emptiness. The problem is, we look to everything else besides the one person who can truly give us purpose.

Psalm 57:2 tells us that God is the one who fulfills his purpose for each one of us. If we want to find the purpose we’re looking for in life, we have to set aside all the other things we turn to and start talking and listening to God.

In this episode, we learn that:
- When you don’t have a purpose, life becomes all about your feelings.
- Lack of purpose is the root of addictions and other issues.
- There’s a longing in yourself that only God can fulfill.

10,000 Objections to Catholicism ANSWERED (Jimmy Akin) | Ep. 318

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor look at the culture's obsession with superhero films and video games and how it relates for man's desire for significance and purpose

Purpose

Today I’m talking to Keith Nester, a former Protestant pastor who converted to Catholicism after a decade-long exploration of faith. The approachable founder of Down to Earth Ministries and the “Catholic Feedback” podcast delves into faith and culture and shares insights he has gained as a pastor, youth minister, and convert.

On this podcast we learn that:

 - Individual conversion stories differ with regard to timelines and motivations.
 - The richness of Catholic traditions and reverence for scripture elevate spirituality.
 - It’s important to listen to your heart and open your mind when contemplating conversion.

 Take a seat in the pew and join us!

The Conversion Of A Protestant Pastor w/ Keith Nester

Abiding in Hope

When it comes to learning how to lead no one can teach us better than Christ.  And for Christians who are trying to lead their world Christ is the ultimate and best reference point.  So how did he do it?  When he had his disciples to form in order to make them the leaders that he wanted them to be – how did he approach it?  In this first of a ten part series we try to answer those questions.  And let Jesus speak and form us as leaders today.  Christian leadership is the way of every disciple – then and now.

DGT Episode 219 - How Christ Made His Leaders Bold - The Call Part 1

What's the Devil's Strategy?: In this episode, we hear from priest and exorcist Fr. Vincent Lampert.  He has been the exorcist for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis since 2005, and presently receives over 3,500 emails, phone calls, or letters a year from people of various faiths (or no faith at all) seeking help from the Church against demonic forces, in addition to pastoring two parishes. Fr. Vincent speaks publicly about his ministry, gives many interviews, and has authored the book Exorcism: The Battle Against Satan and his Demons. Finally, in this episode we try to understand better how the Devil seeks to get us to fall, so we can defend ourselves against his tactics. -- This episode is sponsored by Fidei Email.

How Philosophy Helped a Fitness Expert Return to Catholicism | Guest Pat Flynn

On this podcast we’ll learn that:

 - Overcommitment leads to feelings of anxiety and resentfulness
 - Our devotion for Jesus is not proven by a list of volunteer and church duties 
 - It’s important to find where we can best use our gifts, instead of spreading ourselves too thin

Overcommitment

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob discuss the upcoming Super Bowl, the Cardinal McElroy article, bias in the media, and the Liturgy of the Hours.

Hope in Division

Describing his identity as a beloved son of God the Father, in the imitation of St. Joseph who was a husband to Our Blessed Mother, (foster) father of Jesus, and also a son of God, Mark reveals his deep spirituality as a husband and father. He describes the path that led him to help build the men’s ministry, That Man Is You, along with founder, Steve Bollman.
God’s ministry extends to all people, everywhere, and in this case even outside of this world! Mark tells the amazing story of how an astronaut on the space station uses one of his precious and rare two way communications to connect with the men in his parish group studying TMIY.
Join Sean as he shares some Crown Royal with Mark (specifically chosen by Mark because likes the symbolism of the crown of glory that awaits us) and learn how this young man gave his life completely to God in service and how God is working in that devotion. Enjoy a dram, which is one of the many gifts God has given to us who tells us in Luke, chapter 12 that we shouldn’t worry about what we will need because God provides all good things and it is our Fathers good pleasure to give us the kingdom

A Dram with Mark Hartfiel

In this week&#39;s episode of Catholic ReCon, testimonies from reverts and converts, guest Shivani Sonawane describes her Hindu upbringing, connections to Christianity, the allure of the world, and her magnetic draw to her Creator. The ending will amaze you.

Why a Raised Hindu Became a Devout Catholic Christian

Everybody is tempted sometimes to question the value of leading by virtue.  Afterall, wouldn’t we make more money, be more profitable, find power quicker by mitigating our leadership into a life of power seeking or pleasure seeking?  Sometimes it seems like people who don’t follow God’s law even flourish the quicker.  Thomas Aquinas gives us a different perspective and underlines the essential importance that virtue plays in leadership.

DGT Episode 95 - Overturning Tyranny - Leadership Lessons From Aquinas  Part 6

I’m super excited to have my co-host Victor Adams back with me!

This episode is all about real-life challenges and finding God in our everyday moments.

Victor and I chat about the ups and downs of life, how to stay true to our faith in today’s world, and why being present for our loved ones is so important. We share some personal stories—like my solo episodes, our recent travels, and a special moment I had with my son Jacob during a fireworks show. Spoiler: it wasn’t about the fireworks . . .

We dig deep into how we often look for God in big, flashy moments when He's really there in the everyday stuff—our wins, our struggles, and everything in between. Victor talks about the pressure to make everything perfect and realizing it’s the time spent with loved ones that truly counts.

We’ve been blown away by the support from our listeners! Your feedback and generosity keep us going. From writing a new book to organizing parish missions and leadership summits, your support helps us reach and help more people in meaningful ways.

Time Well Spent

“Judgment is not our job. It's the job of the master.”

On this week’s episode John is hosting solo and he talks all about how important it is to leave judgment up to Jesus. He discusses the tendency we have to judge and condemn others based on the negative things happening in the world. John emphasizes the importance of not rushing to judgment, showing mercy and compassion towards others, and being ambassadors of love and understanding in the world.

Don't Be So Quick To Judge

Everybody who is successful knows that great ideas are only the beginning.  You need a strategic plan, you need helpers along the journey, and you need the staying power of pure determination.  Does our faith have anything to do with this?  Does being a Christian give an advantage to leaders?  Or is there any overlap between the faith and the demands of our practical life?  We believe that there is and one of the best places to see it is in the beauty of grit.

Haitian Zombies, Demonic Attacks & Voodoo's Curse (Fr. Louis Merosne) | Ep. 473

We’re talking about why we should learn to forgive. Forgiving others is one of the more difficult virtues Jesus asks us to practice. Forgiveness does not mean that we overlook a person’s lies or bad behavior. Rather, we let go of the hurt to live a peaceful, joy-filled life. Holding on to past wounds makes us bitter and gives others power over our lives. As St. Augustine famously said, “Resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.”

In this podcast, we learn that:
 - If we’ve been hurt, we can pray for a forgiving heart.
 - Practicing forgiveness doesn’t give others a pass — it gives you peace.
 - God will help us heal our wounds if we ask for strength and guidance.

Why Should I Forgive?

Like anything stepping into leadership requires training.  Stepping into Christian leadership requires that we not just be skilled but also ethical and holy.  How to integrate these two worlds?  How to integrate our spirituality, our faith, and the realism of the world of business?  The Church’s Magisterium put forth a wonderful document that outlines a way forward.  By educating Christians in the principles of Christ, and in the use of the virtues, she points forward a way for us to not only do business but to lead.

Of the many saints we could hope to emulate, Pope John Paul II stands apart for his excellence in leadership.  Not only was he Pope of the Catholic Church at a very difficult time in church and world history but his twenty-six year long pontificate was marked by incredible achievements, changes, and unique global impact.  In this third of our series on Leadership Lessons From The Saints we unpack several lessons from the life and teachings of this master of humanity.

📚: Bible verses for reflection 

Ephesians 5:22-33: "Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord... Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her..."

Genesis 2:24: "That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh."

Matthew 19:6: "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."

1 Corinthians 7:3-4: "The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife."

Philippians 2:3-4: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."

Galatians 6:2: "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."

Proverbs 15:1: "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."

Working On Your Marriage

We’ve journeyed together through the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas about making decisions.  We’ve learned about discernment, about counsel, about timing and about so much else.  And now is the time to act.  In this final segment on our series on making winning decisions with St. Thomas Aquinas, I want to look with you on the theology of the imperium or the command that our mind tells our will to make - getting over the hurdle of constantly wondering whether or not we should something and crossing the threshold of success.

Counter Cultural, Rings of Power, & Apologetics (Michael Jones) | Ep. 393 ​

This episode was supposed to be a regular chat… 
Until Father Dave and Deacon Bob decided to take a break. 
So instead, enjoy this special supercut episode celebrating Pope Francis’s newest encyclical, Corde Amavit (He Loved Us), with a heart-to-heart on the Sacred Heart. 
They unpack Pope Francis’s bold reflections on love, suffering, piety, and empathy—and why the Sacred Heart still speaks powerfully to our anxious, distracted world. Their reflections wind through stories of Pope statues on clearance, Deacon Bob’s favorite icons, and the quiet call to slow down, forgive, and let our hearts be changed. 
Plus: Counselor Troi, pierced sides, holy hours, and the Box of Joy: an initiative that could transform a child’s Christmas! 
Don’t miss this heartfelt compilation reminding us why the Sacred Heart still matters—especially today. 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) A Box of Joy and a Pope Statue Sale  
Deacon Bob opens the episode with an appeal for <a href='https://crosscatholic.org/box-of-joy/'>Box of Joy</a>, a way to share Christmas with children in poverty. He also tells the tale of buying a Pope Francis statue on clearance—and why pity can be a spiritual act of mercy. 
(02:05) He Loved Us: Pope Francis on the Sacred Heart  
Fr. Dave and Deacon Bob introduce the encyclical <a href='https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/it/bollettino/pubblico/2024/10/24/0820/01635.html%22%20/l%20%22in'>Corde Amavit</a>, a deeply personal letter about the heart of Jesus. They reflect on its emotional depth, its call to compassion, and how it reveals the Pope’s heart for a wounded world. 
(09:01) Where Did Our Hearts Go?  
We’ve become people of the head, not the heart. Pope Francis challenges the modern world’s obsession with intellect and technology—and invites us to rediscover devotion, empathy, and childlike wonder. 
(18:44) Saints, Statues, and the Pierced Side of Christ  
From <a href='https://spiritualdirection.com/2020/08/27/63597'>St. Augustine</a> and <a href='https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-of-the-day/saint-margaret-mary-alacoque/'>St. Margaret Mary</a> to sacred art and the Eucharist, the encyclical draws on centuries of heart-centered theology and mystical vision. The Sacred Heart isn’t just an image—it’s a real encounter with Christ. 
(34:09) Forgiveness, Free Will, and the Mission of Love  
In the final reflections, Pope Francis reminds us that love must be shared. Reparation, mercy, and self-giving love flow from the Sacred Heart. God won’t force his love—but invites us to choose it, live it, and share it with others.

Dilexit nos SUPERCUT

Our “but”s keep us from becoming who we are made to be. After a raw, inspiring phone call with a college student, Victor and John discuss the impeding lie that “we are not worthy enough”. 
Because if you believe in Christ and the things that he told us, and that you are called, you need to rest in that. 

In this amazing episode, you will hear about:

- Voids, filling them or aching because of them
- Matthew 10:19
- Being a viable tool for God’s message!
- The importance of our brokenness

Facing The Problem of Evil and Suffering with Fr. Dan Reehil

Anyone moved by the love of God wants to Dare Great Things For Christ!  But ironically most of our time is spent by doing little things.  When we look at the life of the Virgin Mary, the Queen of Heaven and Earth, we see that much of her life was spent doing little things.  Does this mean she wasn’t a leader?  Or in fact is leadership not best expressed by the way that we do the small things?  The life of Jesus and Mary in Nazareth before the beginning of his missionary life is an example of leadership in the little things.

DGT Episode 234 - Leadership And The Little Things - Mary Queen Of Leaders Part 6

This episode moves from a lighthearted family practice of setting “New Year’s disciplines” into a serious, practical conversation on Josef Pieper’s The Concept of Sin. Adam and David argue that modern culture often avoids the word “sin” not because sin disappeared, but because the concept of sin has been replaced with softer language: mistakes, weakness, psychological explanations, or vague “bad choices.” Pieper’s central claim, they explain, is that sin is not merely a moral misstep but a rejection of reality itself.The conversation ties sin directly to freedom. Only a truly free person can sin, because sin requires knowledge, responsibility, and the willful refusal of the good. Drawing on the Catechism, they frame sin as an offense against reason, truth, and right conscience, as well as a failure in love caused by disordered attachment to lesser goods. Sin is not “missing the mark” in the sense of trying hard and falling short; it is a refusal, a “no” to what is.They also explore how every sin involves untruthfulness and self-deception. To commit sin, a person constructs a false account of reality that makes the act seem reasonable. This helps explain why rationalization demands constant outside validation and why modern life often tries to remove guilt without removing sin. Against that, the hosts emphasize that forgiveness presupposes guilt, and sin can only be understood alongside grace.Practical takeaways include building a daily examination of conscience, paying attention to patterns and triggers, naming both sins of commission and omission, and running to confession with regularity. The episode closes with a fatherly focus: how to speak about sin with children truthfully without crushing them, holding together mercy and clarity so that kids learn both the seriousness of sin and the permanence of love.Key topics covered<ol><li data-list="bullet">A family approach to New Year’s disciplines: spiritual, virtue-driven, and “free choice” goals</li><li data-list="bullet">Why “the concept of sin” has faded while sin itself has not</li><li data-list="bullet">Pieper’s claim: before sin is a moral issue, it is a metaphysical issue</li><li data-list="bullet">Sin, freedom, and responsibility: why only the free can sin</li><li data-list="bullet">Why sin is more than “missing the mark”: refusal vs. mistake</li><li data-list="bullet">Sin as rejection of reality and the link to truth and the transcendentals</li><li data-list="bullet">The role of self-deception and rationalization in every sinful act</li><li data-list="bullet">Grace and forgiveness: why forgiveness presupposes guilt</li><li data-list="bullet">Vice vs. sin and how habitual patterns can erode clarity and hope</li><li data-list="bullet">Examination of conscience, confession, and spiritual “trench warfare”</li><li data-list="bullet">Parenting: naming sin without demoralizing children, holding truth with mercy</li></ol> Notable references mentioned<ol><li data-list="bullet">Josef Pieper, The Concept of Sin</li><li data-list="bullet">Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 1849 (definition of sin)</li><li data-list="bullet">St. Paul on grace abounding where sin increases</li><li data-list="bullet">Discussion invitation: patrons reading Romano Guardini, Letters from Lake Como (relationship to technology)</li><li data-list="bullet">A practical tip for readers: keeping quotes and notes in a phone note app</li></ol> Practical takeaways<ol><li data-list="bullet">Do a daily examination of conscience: where you fell, where grace was present, and what you failed to do.</li><li data-list="bullet">Identify the “script” behind recurring sins: time of day, moods, environments, triggers, and predictable pathways.</li><li data-list="bullet">Treat confession as a regular cadence, not only an emergency response.</li><li data-list="bullet">Pay attention to sins of omission: failure to act, speak, defend, or choose the harder good.</li><li data-list="bullet">When talking with children: name sin clearly, offer mercy quickly, and keep the relationship intact.</li></ol> Sponsors, community, and announcements<ol><li data-list="bullet">Patron discussion announcement: Romano Guardini, Letters from Lake Como, with guest Brandon Sheard (Farmstead Meatsmith)</li><li data-list="bullet">Whiskey mentioned: Cream of Kentucky, small batch bourbon; “yummy scale” rating joke lands at 4.2</li></ol>

We discuss the importance of philosophy and logic, and why philosophical errors are at the root of much of the crisis in our culture and in the Church.

119: Can the blessed in Heaven or the damned in Hell change their mind?

Without a doubt the life of St. Paul is one of the best places to study leadership in The New Testament.  Not only is his life an example of leadership, but in his first and second letters to Timothy St. Paul exposes his heart.  He writes to his beloved son, Timothy, whom he has formed in the faith, a letter of encouragement to go all the way to the end to mee the demands of leading God’s people.  His letter gives us many wonderful insights, especially in how to rekindle the fire.

Bill Donaghy On Transgenderism

This week, I’m diving deep into what it means to truly wait on God. We live in a world where we’re always on the go, but sometimes, God calls us to slow down and listen. It’s not always easy—trust me, I struggle with it too! But the grace we find in that quiet waiting can be life-changing.

Join me as I talk about how I’ve navigated moments of feeling distant from God, and what I’ve learned about hearing His voice in the stillness. We all need patience, fortitude, and hope, and I hope this episode helps you find some in your own journey.

___________________________________________________________________________

📚 Bible verses for reflection:

Psalm 130:5 – "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."

Isaiah 40:31 – "But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

Micah 7:7 – "But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me."

Matthew 10:30 –  "But even the hairs of your head are all numbered."

Luke 22:44 –  "And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly; and His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground."

Waiting On God

"If we don't have a relationship with one another, then we're missing out on the greatest gifts of life, which is friendship."

On this week's episode John welcomes David Hall, one of his closest friends, to discuss the importance of authentic friendship. The two of them discuss the need for genuine connections and the impact it can have on a man's life and his faith. They share personal stories of their friendship and how it has made them better men. John and David encourage us to be open and willing to invest time in building meaningful relationships with others. They also discuss the importance of finding common ground and being vulnerable with one another.  

How will you build a true and vulnerable friendship? Will you allow your friendships to bring you and your family closer to heaven? 

In this episode, John and David discuss:
-The importance of friendship.
-How vulnerability and trust can build relationships.
-How true friendships amongst men can impact society as a whole.
-What true friendship is or isn't.

IN STUDIO DEBATE: Is Marriage Bad For Men? -  Pearl Davis Vs Trent Horn

The life of Christians is governed by the truth contained in scripture.  And this is especially true for leadership which is why it is so important for us to study the parables of Jesus.  In the parables we hear that leadership comes from God and also receive valuable lessons about what to avoid in order to not allow our leadership to become too worldly and what to do in order to make our leadership as spiritual as possible.  The parables of Jesus are as timely today as they were when he first spoke them.
