BONUS EPISODE: Don't miss this important announcement!

Today we share in interview about Brandon Vogt's new book <a href="https://wordonfire.org/return">Return: How to Draw Your Child Back to the Church</a>, recently published by Word on Fire. The book is full of concrete advice and practical strategies to help draw any loved one back to the Church. <a href="https://wordonfire.org/return">Return</a> includes one of the best summations of why people dismiss the Church's faith. He doesn't cast aspersions or blame, and he avoids the scapegoating that marks some approaches to this problem. Instead, he focuses on the solution, using a positive emphasis on what parents can say and do to respond to their child's objections, rebuild relationships, and ultimately draw them back to the Church. <a href="https://wordonfire.org/return">Return</a> offers no magic-bullet guarantee that your loved one will come back. But you will find a complete game plan to create the best possible environment to reintroduce them to Christ and his Church. Learn more at <a href= "https://wordonfire.org/return">https://wordonfire.org/return</a>.

The Strategies of the Devil | Part 5 | Lent 2024

He played no fewer than five sports in his youth and then went on to not only compete in pole vault in high school but played for two different soccer teams. In addition to being captain of the VHSCAA State All-Star Team, he at one point held the school record for most shutouts in a season and his team had the school record for the longest undefeated streak. He is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, where he tried out for the soccer team. Present day, he is president of The Catholic Initiative, a key "Legacy of Hope" project, which is a first of its kind in the world. It is a Vatican-approved effort to invest in the restoration and sustainability of vibrant Catholic churches, schools, and parishes where a lack of financial resources is currently holding back their potential.

Between January 2020 and January 2021, the Trump Administration executed 13 inmates on death row. This drew a ton of national attention as the death toll outnumbered the previous 57 years combined. This, as usual, was an opportunity for people to use emotionally charged arguments to push their agenda.&nbsp;
The common claim was this: if you aren't anti-death penalty, you ain't pro-life. Is this true? Is this helpful to the pro-life/anti-abortion movement? Is it wrong to be a single issue voter? How should our faith influence our stances on these things? What does the Church teach about the death penalty?&nbsp;
Find out all this and more in this episode!&nbsp;

This week the BeatiDudes welcome Kyle Hatfield. He’s a husband, girl-dad of five, former Pines Catholic Camp director, and the Director of Engagement at the Catholic Leadership Institute (CLI). Between insane stories at the Tiny Table, Kyle shares a joy-filled journey from conversion and camp ministry to coaching pastors and bishops.
Kyle breaks down how CLI helps parishes move from vision to implementation. The "Tuesday-afternoon" stuff like prioritizing mission, delegating well, and caring for clergy with ongoing formation and wellness.
Highlights
•	From The Pines to CLI: camp director during the pandemic to accompanying dioceses, pastors, and bishops
•	Vision → Action: practical coaching so parishes actually live their mission
•	Parish as “all souls within your boundaries”: an apostolic lens for leadership
•	Marriage &amp; family: 10 years, five daughters, and vocation &gt; occupation
•	The legendary 16-count slow clap and a rapid-fire joke round
If you care about parish life that truly evangelizes, this episode delivers practical wisdom wrapped in fraternity and fun. Kyle’s story shows how saying “yes” to God at camp, at home, and in leadership, turns big church dreams into real, local renewal.

This is Episode #177 of the Seeking Excellence Podcast hosted by Nathan Crankfield.&nbsp;
In today's episode, I am joined by Catholic speaker and musician Paul J Kim to discuss all things adulthood with an emphasis on financial literacy. Paul has an adulting course for Catholics, that can be found <a href="https://www.pjkmusic.com">here at his website</a>, which really hits on some strong fundamentals when it comes to investing.&nbsp;
When I recorded with Paul, I had just recently recorded with Jacob Imam about his debate with Trent Horn on the morality of 401k's and investing in general. I ask Paul some of the same questions I ask Jacob, so those two episodes really go well together!&nbsp;

Ep 177 | Paul J Kim | Financial Wisdom For Young Adults

The nature and purpose of the human body was once considered obvious. But it has come under attack from secular culture in some strange and even disturbing ways in recent years. Now, unfortunately, it is up for grabs. The Word on Fire Institute sought to address this confusion surrounding the body at our recent Wonder Conference, "Nature and the Human Body." Drawing on rich theological, philosophical, scientific, medical, moral, political, technological, and artistic resources, the conference sought to reclaim an authentic understanding and deep appreciation for the body—its resilience and fragility, its joys and its sufferings, its transcendence and its temporality, and, above all, its wonder. A listener asks how Catholics should think about near-death experiences and stories. 00:00 | Intro 01:23 | Hosting the Wonder Conference in Bishop Barron's own diocese 02:25 | Why we needed Wonder 03:50 | Understanding the false dichotomy of faith and science 06:20 | Addressing the question of body/soul unity 12:38 | Inherent dangers in dividing body and soul 15:36 | Can Catholic ministries give platforms to evolutionary biologists? 17:11 | Highlights from Dr. Heather Heying's Wonder talk 18:45 | Beginning with the logos and intelligibility 20:04 | The human difference 21:04 | Bishop Barron Presents: liturgical artist Jonathan Pageau 23:06 | Materialism as an incoherent philosophy vs. scientific worldview 26:30 | The intelligibility of creation 27:36 | Fr.

WOF 453: Nature & the Human Body—Recapping Wonder 2024

In this thought-provoking and hilarious episode of The
BeatiDudes, Jason Craig joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for a bold discussion on youth ministry, manhood, and reclaiming authentic fraternity in the Church.
Jason, co-founder of Fraternus and editor of Sword &amp;
Spade magazine, doesn’t shy away from controversy as he challenges the current models of youth ministry, compares modern formation to beekeeping, and calls men to take seriously their role in raising the next generation. From the invention of adolescence to rites of passage, Jason dives deep into the need for male mentorship, the failures of youth culture, and why it's time to stop wearing cargo shorts.

WOF 264: The Monsters of Social Media

According to a recent Wall Street Journal headline, "Catholic Schools Are Losing Students at Record Rates, and Hundreds Are Closing." Catholic schools peaked in the 1960s with about 5.5 million students in 11,000 schools. Today, Catholic schools boast only 1.6 million students in 5,900 schools. What explains this decline? And what can we do about it? Bishop Barron and Brandon Vogt discuss the situation of Catholic schools, the purpose of Catholic education, and where Catholic schools should move in the future.

EP54 - Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

The most recent meeting of the <a href= "http://www.usccb.org/">United States Council of Catholic Bishops</a> ended with a prayer service and a sermon by Archbishop Peter Sartain, wherein his excellency referenced the mystical prayers of St. Catherine of Siena. In this episode, Bishop Robert Barron recounts this wonderful sermon and reflects on the use of the word "thee" in St. Catherine's prayers as well as the common prayers of the Church. Bishop explains that the purpose of this sort of language is to remind us of the intimacy we share in God through the Son. Sharing this personal relationship with Jesus is the real purpose of evangelization. The listener question wonders about the purpose of petitionary prayer.

5/30/23 - Daily Readings with Fr. Dom Homily

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, Adam and David discuss the essential role of fathers in catechizing their children... not just by teaching information, but by forming habits, traditions, and a lived love for the Catholic faith.Adam shares a personal update about his family and the power of prayer and community during a time of serious medical uncertainty. From there, the conversation turns to what real catechesis looks like in the home: modeling prayer, creating a culture of beauty, building liturgical traditions, and making the Eucharist the center of family life.The guys explore why passing on the faith is less about producing kids who can pass a religion test, and more about raising children who know God is real and worth ordering their entire life around.Topics include:<ol><li data-list="bullet">Why fathers are primarily responsible for catechesis</li><li data-list="bullet">The difference between knowing the faith and loving the faith</li><li data-list="bullet">Teaching children how to pray by example</li><li data-list="bullet">Using beauty, art, and the home to form souls</li><li data-list="bullet">Why habits and traditions matter more than programs</li><li data-list="bullet">Making the Eucharist the source and summit of family life</li></ol> Support The Catholic Man Show: <a href="www.patreon.com/thecatholicmanshow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.patreon.com/thecatholicmanshow</a>Thank you to our sponsor: <a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Select International Tours</a>

WOF 017: Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead?

It was not until the dawn of the modern age, which in the popular mind signaled the rise of reason and progress, that pride ceased to be chief among the Seven Deadly Sins, despite its having long since been designated as such by Christian usage. In fact, the whole idea of sin itself as a grave affront to Almighty God was pretty much replaced by wrongdoing as an offense against others, especially the poor and marginalized. Deacon Harold helps to answer the question of how our pride offends God. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 18:34-35

The Sin of Pride

From the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Dom explores the profound themes of faith, sacrifice, and the significance of the Eucharist and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass within the Catholic Church. He emphasizes the importance of praying for the souls in purgatory, understanding the role of the priesthood, and living out one's faith through acts of sacrifice and love. Fr. Dom connects the readings from scripture to the core beliefs of Catholicism, urging listeners to deepen their understanding and commitment to their faith. <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!

"The more an individual takes their Islamic faith seriously, the more they become like Muhammad, and the more a Christian takes their faith more seriously, the more they become like Jesus. You just have to read their biographies and figure out what is the difference." Join us for a fascinating conversation with Ismail Youssef, a former Muslim turned Catholic Christian, as we explore the theological and practical differences between Islam and Christianity, and how to charitably witness to Muslims.Our discussion explores:- Ismail's viral appearance on Pints with Aquinas and how it transformed his life overnight- Why questions about women's rights and human dignity first led Ismail to question Islam- The fundamental difference between Islam and Christianity: can God become part of creation?- How Muslims view Jesus as the greatest sinless prophet who never died, but deny His divinity- The surprising overlap between Islamic and Catholic views on the Virgin Mary- Why Islam is considered a "Christian heresy" rather than a completely separate religion- The problematic claim that "Islam is a religion of peace" and what Islamic texts actually teach- Common misconceptions Christians have about Islam and Muslims have about Christianity- Translation issues in modern English Qurans that obscure controversial teachings- The inside/outside mentality in Islam that creates a hierarchical caste system- Why you should never assume you understand what any individual Muslim believesIsmail provides invaluable insights from someone who lived Islam deeply before finding Christ, explaining how the Muslim conception of God differs radically from the Christian understanding that "God is love." He shares practical wisdom for Christians seeking to evangelize Muslims, including why starting with "Jesus as the Son of God" can create immediate barriers to meaningful dialogue.This episode equips Catholics to understand Islam more accurately while maintaining genuine charity toward Muslim neighbors, recognizing that authentic evangelization requires both truth and love.Resources:Follow Ismail: @ishsofarabia on Instagram and YouTubeSupport his ministry: PayPal @ishsofarabiaWatch Ismail's full conversion story on Pints with Aquinas with Matt FraddWe want to hear from you!
