<h2>Enjoying the fruits of God’s Vineyard!</h2>
In this week’s episode, Sean is joined by past God Squad speaker, Rick Sarkisian. Listen as they share with one another some of their experiences in living life with a purpose, of the importance of living in the present moment, who we should be, and how inner peace can draw us closer to God.

A Dram with Rick Sarkisian

We’re looking at the moments when our Lord reveals what His mission is.  By seeing His mission we better understand our own.  In John 18:33-38, our Lord speaks with Pontius Pilate about His mission.

DGT Episode 68 - Christ's Mission Part 2 - Bearing Witness To The Truth

To lead we have to be able to bring talent forth – all great leaders have this in common.  And Jesus Christ shows us this in a very special way.  During the three years he was with his apostles he not only consoled and healed them but he also challenged them and trained them for a life of discipleship in the most challenging of circumstances.  He trained his future leaders to lead by leading them into their own greatness even when this was hard.

DGT Episode 337 - Calling Forth Greatness - Watching Jesus Lead Part 2

What a week! We're in for a great deal of controversy, debate, protests, and probably some riots. There will be absolute insanity for the next few months most likely.&nbsp;
The overturning of Roe v. Wade, what a momentous occasion. But is it too early to celebrate? Should Catholics be hesitant to support this move? What can we do to be on the right side of history? Can you be Catholic and pro-abortion?&nbsp;
I try to tackle all these issues and more in today's episode. Enjoy the rant!&nbsp;

Trust Yourself to Make the Right Decision

This episode starts with an apology and an update. It’s been a wild stretch—hospital visits, birthday mishaps, broken teeth, truck trouble, cows and pigs headed to the processor—but also a lot of grace and gratitude.Adam shares about Lady Haylee's recent medical scare during pregnancy, the prayers from patrons, and what it’s like to walk through real uncertainty as a husband and father. The guys reflect on how quickly life can tilt from “normal” to “barely holding it together,” and yet how God can still anchor everything in hope and gratitude.Over whiskey (a Pseudo Sue malt from Iowa), Adam and David shift into the main topic: spiritual blindness—how easy it is for men to be convinced we’re right, standing for the truth, and yet be totally off the mark.Drawing from Scripture, the lives of the apostles, St. John of the Cross, Aquinas, and even Dante, they explore:<h4>In This Episode:</h4><ul><li>Real-life trials and gratitude</li><li>Haley’s hospitalization and recovery</li><li>Kids’ birthdays, chipped teeth, and car trouble</li><li>How chaos at home can either crush us or deepen our trust in God</li><li>Miracles, doubt, and the desire for “proof”</li><li>“If God would just give us a miracle, evangelization would be easy”</li><li>The everyday miracles we ignore: the Eucharist, confession, conversions</li><li>Why even those who saw Jesus’ miracles still doubted and fled</li><li>Spiritual blindness in the apostles and in us</li><li>Peter’s “I’ll never deny you” moment—and the fall that followed</li><li>The apostles missing who Jesus really is, even after years of walking with Him</li><li>Looking back on friendships and seasons of life and realizing, “I was blind to how unhealthy that really was”</li><li>How our culture and attachments distort our judgment</li><li>Bringing politics into our faith and letting ideology outrank the Gospel</li><li>The overworking dad: when “providing” becomes an excuse to avoid the harder work of fatherhood</li><li>Attachment to success, busyness, and being “the guy” who makes everything happen</li><li>The “theology guy” who knows tons about the faith but never actually prays or serves</li><li>St. John of the Cross and Aquinas on blindness of mind</li><li>Disordered attachments as a cause of spiritual blindness</li><li>Misapplying first principles and deforming prudence</li><li>Why ignorance isn’t always innocent—especially when it’s chosen</li><li>Dante, betrayal, and why some wounds cut so deep</li><li>Why Dante places traitors and betrayers at the bottom of hell</li><li>The pain of realizing someone you trusted was not who you thought</li><li>How misplaced trust in people can tempt us to distrust God</li><li>Practical ways to grow in spiritual clarity</li><li>Daily (or even twice-daily) examination of conscience</li><li>Honest fraternal correction and asking your friends to tell you the truth</li><li>Living a real ascetical life: fasting, temperance, and taming appetites</li><li>Submitting your judgment to the Church instead of making yourself the standard</li><li>Turning to the sacraments—especially confession and the Eucharist—for renewed vision</li></ul> Along the way, you’ll also hear:<ul><li>A story about accidentally using cardamom instead of cinnamon on a first date</li><li>The strangely satisfying joy of a perfectly vacuumed game room</li><li>The quiet fulfillment of husbandry—raising animals, caring for land, and stewarding what God has given</li></ul> This episode is an invitation to ask hard questions:<ul><li>Where am I convinced I’m right, but might be deeply wrong?</li><li>What am I attached to that clouds my judgment?</li><li>Who do I trust enough to tell me what I don’t see about myself?</li></ul> If you’ve ever looked back on a season of life and thought, “How did I not see that?”—this conversation is for you.

Evangelical Catholic w/ Jason Simon

Objection 1. It would seem that it is not necessary to confess to a priest. For we are not bound to confession, except in virtue of its Divine institution. Now its Divine institution is made known to us (James 5:16): "Confess your sins, one to another," where there is no mention of a priest. Therefore it is not necessary to confess to a priest. Objection 2. Further, Penance is a necessary sacrament, as is also Baptism. But any man is the minister of Baptism, on account of its necessity. Therefore any man is the minister of Penance. Now confession should be made to the minister of Penance. Therefore it suffices to confess to anyone. Objection 3. Further, confession is necessary in order that the measure of satisfaction should be imposed on the penitent. Now, sometimes another than a priest might be more discreet than many priests are in imposing the measure of satisfaction on the penitent. Therefore it is not necessary to confess to a priest. Objection 4. Further, confession was instituted in the Church in order that the rectors might know their sheep by sight. But sometimes a rector or prelate is not a priest. Therefore confession should not always be made to a priest. On the contrary, The absolution of the penitent, for the sake of which he makes his confession, is imparted by none but priests to whom the keys are intrusted. Therefore confession should be made to a priest. Further, confession is foreshadowed in the raising of the dead Lazarus to life. Now our Lord commanded none but the disciples to loose Lazarus (John 11:44). Therefore confession should be made to a priest. I answer that, The grace which is given in the sacraments, descends from the Head to the members. Wherefore he alone who exercises a ministry over Christ's true body is a minister of the sacraments, wherein grace is given; and this belongs to a priest alone, who can consecrate the Eucharist. Therefore, since grace is given in the sacrament of Penance, none but a priest is the minister of the sacrament: and consequently sacramental confession which should be made to a minister of the Church, should be made to none but a priest. Reply to Objection 1. James speaks on the presupposition of the Divine institutions: and since confession had already been prescribed by God to be made to a priest, in that He empowered them, in the person of the apostles, to forgive sins, as related in John 20:23, we must take the words of James as conveying an admonishment to confess to priests. Reply to Objection 2. Baptism is a sacrament of greater necessity than Penance, as regards confession and absolution, because sometimes Baptism cannot be omitted without loss of eternal salvation, as in the case of children who have not come to the use of reason: whereas this cannot be said of confession and absolution, which regard none but adults, in whom contrition, together with the purpose of confessing and the desire of absolution, suffices to deliver them from everlasting death. Consequently there is no parity between Baptism and confession. Reply to Objection 3. In satisfaction we must consider not only the quantity of the punishment but also its power, inasmuch as it is part of a sacrament. In this way it requires a dispenser of the sacraments, though the quantity of the punishment may be fixed by another than a priest. Reply to Objection 4. It may be necessary for two reasons to know the sheep by sight. First, in order to register them as members of Christ's flock, and to know the sheep by sight thus belongs to the pastoral charge and care, which is sometimes the duty of those who are not priests. Secondly, that they may be provided with suitable remedies for their health; and to know the sheep by sight thus belongs to the man, i.e. the priest, whose business it is to provide remedies conducive to health, such as the sacrament of the Eucharist, and other like things. It is to this knowledge of the sheep that confession is ordained. --- Quotes from the early Church (taken from Catholic.com) The Didache "Confess your sins in church, and do not go up to your prayer with an evil conscience. This is the way of life. . . . On the Lord's Day gather together, break bread, and give thanks, after confessing your transgressions so that your sacrifice may be pure" (Didache 4:14, 14:1 [A.D. 70]). The Letter of Barnabas "You shall judge righteously. You shall not make a schism, but you shall pacify those that contend by bringing them together. You shall confess your sins. You shall not go to prayer with an evil conscience. This is the way of light" (Letter of Barnabas 19 [A.D. 74]). Ignatius of Antioch "For as many as are of God and of Jesus Christ are also with the bishop. And as many as shall, in the exercise of penance, return into the unity of the Church, these, too, shall belong to God, that they may live according to Jesus Christ" (Letter to the Philadelphians 3 [A.D. 110]). "For where there is division and wrath, God does not dwell. To all them that repent, the Lord grants forgiveness, if they turn in penitence to the unity of God, and to communion with the bishop" (ibid., 8). Irenaeus "[The Gnostic disciples of Marcus] have deluded many women. . . . Their consciences have been branded as with a hot iron. Some of these women make a public confession, but others are ashamed to do this, and in silence, as if withdrawing from themselves the hope of the life of God, they either apostatize entirely or hesitate between the two courses" (Against Heresies 1:22 [A.D. 189]). Tertullian "[Regarding confession, some] flee from this work as being an exposure of themselves, or they put it off from day to day. I presume they are more mindful of modesty than of salvation, like those who contract a disease in the more shameful parts of the body and shun making themselves known to the physicians; and thus they perish along with their own bashfulness" (Repentance 10:1 [A.D. 203]). Hippolytus "[The bishop conducting the ordination of the new bishop shall pray:] God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. . . . Pour forth now that power which comes from you, from your royal Spirit, which you gave to your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and which he bestowed upon his holy apostles . . . and grant this your servant, whom you have chosen for the episcopate, [the power] to feed your holy flock and to serve without blame as your high priest, ministering night and day to propitiate unceasingly before your face and to offer to you the gifts of your holy Church, and by the Spirit of the high priesthood to have the authority to forgive sins, in accord with your command" (Apostolic Tradition 3 [A.D. 215]). Origen "[A final method of forgiveness], albeit hard and laborious [is] the remission of sins through penance, when the sinner . . . does not shrink from declaring his sin to a priest of the Lord and from seeking medicine, after the manner of him who say, 'I said, "To the Lord I will accuse myself of my iniquity"'" (Homilies on Leviticus 2:4 [A.D. 248]). Cyprian of Carthage "The apostle [Paul] likewise bears witness and says: ' . . . Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord' [1 Cor. 11:27]. But [the impenitent] spurn and despise all these warnings; before their sins are expiated, before they have made a confession of their crime, before their conscience has been purged in the ceremony and at the hand of the priest . . . they do violence to [the Lord's] body and blood, and with their hands and mouth they sin against the Lord more than when they denied him" (The Lapsed 15:1–3 (A.D. 251]). "Of how much greater faith and salutary fear are they who . . . confess their sins to the priests of God in a straightforward manner and in sorrow, making an open declaration of conscience. . . . I beseech you, brethren, let everyone who has sinned confess his sin while he is still in this world, while his confession is still admissible, while the satisfaction and remission made through the priests are still pleasing before the Lord" (ibid., 28). "[S]inners may do penance for a set time, and according to the rules of discipline come to public confession, and by imposition of the hand of the bishop and clergy receive the right of Communion. [But now some] with their time [of penance] still unfulfilled . . . they are admitted to Communion, and their name is presented; and while the penitence is not yet performed, confession is not yet made, the hands of the bishop and clergy are not yet laid upon them, the Eucharist is given to them; although it is written, 'Whosoever shall eat the bread and drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord' [1 Cor. 11:27]" (Letters 9:2 [A.D. 253]). "And do not think, dearest brother, that either the courage of the brethren will be lessened, or that martyrdoms will fail for this cause, that penance is relaxed to the lapsed, and that the hope of peace [i.e., absolution] is offered to the penitent. . . . For to adulterers even a time of repentance is granted by us, and peace is given" (ibid., 51[55]:20). "But I wonder that some are so obstinate as to think that repentance is not to be granted to the lapsed, or to suppose that pardon is to be denied to the penitent, when it is written, 'Remember whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works' [Rev. 2:5], which certainly is said to him who evidently has fallen, and whom the Lord exhorts to rise up again by his deeds [of penance], because it is written, 'Alms deliver from death' [Tob. 12:9]" (ibid., 51[55]:22). Aphraahat the Persian Sage "You [priests], then, who are disciples of our illustrious physician [Christ], you ought not deny a curative to those in need of healing. And if anyone uncovers his wound before you, give him the remedy of repentance. And he that is ashamed to make known his weakness, encourage him so that he will not hide it from you. And when he has revealed it to you, do not make it public, lest because of it the innocent might be reckoned as guilty by our enemies and by those who hate us" (Treatises 7:3 [A.D. 340]). Basil the Great "It is necessary to confess our sins to those to whom the dispensation of God's mysteries is entrusted. Those doing penance of old are found to have done it before the saints. It is written in the Gospel that they confessed their sins to John the Baptist [Matt. 3:6], but in Acts [19:18] they confessed to the apostles" (Rules Briefly Treated 288 [A.D. 374]).

32: Why do I need to confess my sins to a priest?

At its essence leadership is a question of vision and vision at its heart is a matter of creativity.   Although not always comfortable being in charge of an operations means finding an answer no matter what.  Great leaders do this in extraordinary ways.  But getting to the heart of how to innovate and find new answers means getting to the heart of the human person and their freedom and this is why it’s important to talk about the power of grace to create new ideas and innovation.  This is part 4 of our series on Leaders In A Broken World.

Catholicism & Orthodoxy (Erick Ybarra) | Ep. 324

Christians who lead faith’s many paradoxes – we are supposed to be humble and yet we have authority.  We are supposed to be docile and yet we assert ourselves.  We are supposed to be virtuous and yet we place ourselves in positions that are often tempting.  Is it any wonder that so many people think Christians aren’t supposed to lead or so many Christians refuse to lead.  Pope St. Gregory the Great gives us a keen answer in chapter 6 of his second book, “On The Rule Of Shepherds.”

Do We Really Believe?

There are many aspects about the Christian faith which we could find surprising.  Not everything that God does is immediately self evident to us.  But something that never ceases to amaze me is that God insists that we take action.  Not only does he say, “Do not be afraid,” but He doesn’t let us off the hook.  Leaders have to make decisions constantly and engage themselves in operations that can sometimes be risky.  Why does God do this?  And where can we find the courage to embrace the risk and still dare the deed?

"The Light of His Eyes" (Mother Iliana) | Ep. 429

Every Advent Christians are treated to readings from the Gospel which remind them to stay awake.  In Luke chapter 21 Our Lord says, “Keep on the alert at all times.”  Obviously Our Lord here is referring here to a spiritual alertness but it’s also something that we can apply in the world of business.  To what degree does a leader need to stay awake at all times?  How can his faith help him to do so?  And how can his business help him to stay awake in his faith?

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob talk about the World Series, the NBA (go Cavs!), Halloween, and the mid-term elections. They conclude their study of Philippians by reflecting on what it means to do all things “through him who gives me strength” (Phil. 4:13).

Why a Professional Football Player Returned to the Catholic Church

About a month ago, there was a very interesting blog released from the truly excellent Catholic ministry The Young Catholic Woman. This blog was titled Why I unfollowed you: An open letter to Catholic influencers. Knowing that I, myself, have had a number of frustrations with popular catholics on social media and in the big time catholic speaker circle, you can assume that I was eager to read what the author had to say. 
She broke down her reasons for unfollowing into three main categories. One I wholeheartedly agreed with, one I mostly disagreed with, and one was about 50/50. In today's episode, I break down her three reasons and share my thoughts on each of them. 

Disclaimer:  I have a great deal of respect and appreciation for the work that is done at The Young Catholic Woman. I also have no hard feelings toward the author of the blog, since I have never interacted with her in any way. I would have gladly posted this same blog on my own website, because I agree with many points that it makes and believe we have to be open to tolerating things that we may disagree with, so long as they don't lead people away from the Church or the Truth.

Purity and the Sacraments of Marriage and Confirmation | Guest Tim O'Neill

Today we’re talking about that aching feeling that nothing’s ever enough — not the house, the car or the career. These moments arise when we expect the wrong things to bring us joy. In his book “Remade for Happiness,” Bishop Fulton Sheen explains that external gifts such as wealth or fame bring temporary pleasure, but eternal happiness can only be found by building a close relationship with God.

In this podcast, we learn that:
- Fixating on material possessions or job success creates distractions and disappointment.
- We should look for the breadcrumbs that lead us back to God.
- It’s not what you get in life, but what you give.

Why Is It Never Enough?

One of the things we, as guys, hate to talk about is past wounds. But we all carry pain from our past, and if we don’t deal with it we’re going to hurt other people. Victor and I talked this week about some of the wounds I have in my own life, and what I’m doing to heal from them.

61: 15 (or so) stories about St Thomas we hope are true, with Fr Ryan Mann

Curtis Martin shares a simple process to help us understand what discipleship is and how to accompany others to become disciples of Jesus Christ. Yes, you’re called to make disciples. And you can do it. It’s not an abstract or impossible task. God has provided you with everything you need to accomplish this mission.

Founder and CEO of FOCUS, Curtis has a master’s in theology, and is an author of the best-selling book, “Made for More.” Pope Saint John Paul II awarded Curtis and his wife, Michaelannthe Benemerenti Medal for outstanding service to the Church, and Pope Benedict XVI appointed Curtis as a Consultor to the Pontifical Council of the New Evangelization. He lives in Westminster, Colorado, with nine children and eight grandchildren.

The Heroic Men Summit, themed “GO! Get started, use your gifts, make disciples!” featured dynamic talks from Justin Fatica, Jeremy Rivera, and Curtis Martin. They provide insights on how to get started, how to use existing God-given gifts, and how we are all called to effect change in our families and the world. Co-presented by FOCUS, and sponsored by Give Send Go, the world leader in freedom fundraising. 

GO Make Disciples - Curtis Martin, FOCUS Founder

On today’s podcast, we’re talking to one of the country’s most exciting Catholic evangelists and authors, Sonja Corbitt.

A natural storyteller and convert to Catholicism, Corbitt shows listeners how daily Bible readings can draw them closer to God, break patterns of sin and bring a sense of control back into their lives.

In this episode, we learn that:
- Daily readings from the lectionary are the Holy Spirit’s voice to the whole Church.

BONUS: The Transformational Power of Scripture w/ Sonja Corbitt

How did Jesus Christ form his apostles to be bold proclaimers of His word?  One way was by sending them where they thought they could never go – into the darkness and into fearful places armed with nothing more than his word and the powers of His priesthood.  And yet they were not alone.  In fact he promised that he would be with them always.  Doesn’t he do the same with us today?  In this final segment of our ten part series we look at the way he formed his apostles to understand how he trains us for leadership today.

Should I Be SCARED of God? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Today we discuss with Thomas the sin of sloth. What is it? When does it become a mortal sin? --- Sloth, according to Damascene (De Fide Orth. ii, 14) is an oppressive sorrow, which, to wit, so weighs upon man's mind, that he wants to do nothing; thus acid things are also cold. Hence sloth implies a certain weariness of work, as appears from a gloss on Psalm 106:18, "Their soul abhorred all manner of meat," and from the definition of some who say that sloth is a "sluggishness of the mind which neglects to begin good." Now this sorrow is always evil, sometimes in itself, sometimes in its effect. For sorrow is evil in itself when it is about that which is apparently evil but good in reality, even as, on the other hand, pleasure is evil if it is about that which seems to be good but is, in truth, evil. Since, then, spiritual good is a good in very truth, sorrow about spiritual good is evil in itself. And yet that sorrow also which is about a real evil, is evil in its effect, if it so oppresses man as to draw him away entirely from good deeds. Hence the Apostle (2 Corinthians 2:7) did not wish those who repented to be "swallowed up with overmuch sorrow." Accordingly, since sloth, as we understand it here, denotes sorrow for spiritual good, it is evil on two counts, both in itself and in point of its effect. Consequently it is a sin, for by sin we mean an evil movement of the appetite, as appears from what has been said above (II-II:10:2; I-II:74:4). ... mortal sin is so called because it destroys the spiritual life which is the effect of charity, whereby God dwells in us. Wherefore any sin which by its very nature is contrary to charity is a mortal sin by reason of its genus. And such is sloth, because the proper effect of charity is joy in God, as stated above (II-II:28:1), while sloth is sorrow about spiritual good in as much as it is a Divine good. Therefore sloth is a mortal sin in respect of its genus. But it must be observed with regard to all sins that are mortal in respect of their genus, that they are not mortal, save when they attain to their perfection. Because the consummation of sin is in the consent of reason: for we are speaking now of human sins consisting in human acts, the principle of which is the reason. Wherefore if the sin be a mere beginning of sin in the sensuality alone, without attaining to the consent of reason, it is a venial sin on account of the imperfection of the act. Thus in the genus of adultery, the concupiscence that goes no further than the sensuality is a venial sin, whereas if it reach to the consent of reason, it is a mortal sin. So too, the movement of sloth is sometimes in the sensuality alone, by reason of the opposition of the flesh to the spirit, and then it is a venial sin; whereas sometimes it reaches to the reason, which consents in the dislike, horror and detestation of the Divine good, on account of the flesh utterly prevailing over the spirit. On this case it is evident that sloth is a mortal sin.

48: What is sloth? When does it become a mortal sin?

"Confidence is found in God's love. Arrogance is found in self promotion."

During this week's episode, Victor and discuss the difference between self-confidence and arrogance, emphasizing the importance of finding confidence in God rather than oneself. We share that true self-confidence comes from accepting who we are and our place in God's plan, rather than trying to prove ourselves to others.

Mercy

"The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness." - Pope Benedict XVI

You don't have to look around long to see that the world needs Catholics that are willing to boldly live their faith. Unfortunately, many of us can often find ourselves retreating back into the comfort and safety of those like us. While there is nothing wrong with surrounding ourselves with like minded people, we must never close the door to those in need or become uninviting to the unchurched. Jesus never said you are not welcome in my group or at my table and neither should we. Listen in this week as John and Victor discuss the importance of fighting the urge to retreat back into the comfort and safety of the initiated while challenging us to become the missionary disciples we are called to be. It's time to get uncomfortable.  

In this episode John and Victor discuss:
- The need to return to the mentality of a missionary church
-  Fighting the urge to close ourselves off in small groups that aren't welcoming to those in need. 
- Running towards the unchurched instead of away from them.
- Loving people the way Jesus did

It's Time To Get Uncomfortable

In this episode, Dave Rubin and I have a chat before we go off the grid for the month of August. As two people whose careers are intertwined with the internet and social media, we've found that a month disconnected from the noise of the worldwide web creates a fresh perspective and a clear focus on what's truly important in life.

GAMING and the Heroic Life | Bobby Angel | Episode #057

In this episode, Victor and I tackle one of the most relatable topics in faith: spiritual desolation. 

I open up about my personal struggles with feeling distant from God and how even saints like Mother Teresa faced years of spiritual dryness. Together, we explore what desolation really means and how it can impact our prayer life, mindset, and overall connection with God.

Drawing inspiration from St. Ignatius of Loyola and the teachings of Mother Teresa, we break down how to push through these tough times, offering practical advice on perseverance, prayer, and trusting God’s will even when it feels like He’s far away.

If you've ever felt stuck in your spiritual journey, this episode offers a reminder that you're not alone—and that there’s a way forward.

📚 Bible verses for reflection:

John 7:37-38 – "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’"

Psalm 40:1-2 – "I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand."

Romans 8:28 – "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

James 1:2-3 – "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness."

James 1:12 – "Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him."

The Vital Need for Relationship

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss taking your thoughts and fears captive while in this time of mandatory "captivity."

Captivity

The non-Christian world can paint a vision of capitalism wherein the owner or the boss rules over the workers – exacting from them the maximum of energies in the most efficient way possible for the maximum profit.  Is this the vision that God has for our work?  In its landmark document from 2011, the Catholic Church lays out six principles to guide business leaders.  Its third principle holds that business ought to be for the benefit of the employees as well as the customer.  Here’s how this can be done.

DGT Episode 168 - Your Business At The Service Of Your Employees - Six Practical Principles For Business Part 3

I chat with Fr. Gregory Pine about the 7 Sacraments! As stated above, the sacraments of the Church were instituted for a twofold purpose: namely, in order to perfect man in things pertaining to the worship of God according to the religion of Christian life, and to be a remedy against the defects caused by sin. And in either way it is becoming that there should be seven sacraments. For spiritual life has a certain conformity with the life of the body: just as other corporeal things have a certain likeness to things spiritual. Now a man attains perfection in the corporeal life in two ways: first, in regard to his own person; secondly, in regard to the whole community of the society in which he lives, for man is by nature a social animal. With regard to himself man is perfected in the life of the body, in two ways; first, directly [per se, i.e. by acquiring some vital perfection; secondly, indirectly [per accidens, i.e. by the removal of hindrances to life, such as ailments, or the like. Now the life of the body is perfected "directly," in three ways. First, by generation whereby a man begins to be and to live: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Baptism, which is a spiritual regeneration, according to Titus 3:5: "By the laver of regeneration," etc. Secondly, by growth whereby a man is brought to perfect size and strength: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Confirmation, in which the Holy Ghost is given to strengthen us. Wherefore the disciples who were already baptized were bidden thus: "Stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high" (Luke 24:49). Thirdly, by nourishment, whereby life and strength are preserved to man; and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the Eucharist. Wherefore it is said (John 6:54): "Except you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you shall not have life in you." And this would be enough for man if he had an impassible life, both corporally and spiritually; but since man is liable at times to both corporal and spiritual infirmity, i.e. sin, hence man needs a cure from his infirmity; which cure is twofold. one is the healing, that restores health: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Penance, according to Psalm 40:5: "Heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee." The other is the restoration of former vigor by means of suitable diet and exercise: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Extreme Unction, which removes the remainder of sin, and prepares man for final glory. Wherefore it is written (James 5:15): "And if he be in sins they shall be forgiven him." In regard to the whole community, man is perfected in two ways. First, by receiving power to rule the community and to exercise public acts: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the sacrament of order, according to the saying of Hebrews 7:27, that priests offer sacrifices not for themselves only, but also for the people. Secondly in regard to natural propagation. This is accomplished by Matrimony both in the corporal and in the spiritual life: since it is not only a sacrament but also a function of nature. We may likewise gather the number of the sacraments from their being instituted as a remedy against the defect caused by sin. For Baptism is intended as a remedy against the absence of spiritual life; Confirmation, against the infirmity of soul found in those of recent birth; the Eucharist, against the soul's proneness to sin; Penance, against actual sin committed after baptism; Extreme Unction, against the remainders of sins—of those sins, namely, which are not sufficiently removed by Penance, whether through negligence or through ignorance; order, against divisions in the community; Matrimony, as a remedy against concupiscence in the individual, and against the decrease in numbers that results from death. Some, again, gather the number of sacraments from a certain adaptation to the virtues and to the defects and penal effects resulting from sin. They say that Baptism corresponds to Faith, and is ordained as a remedy against original sin; Extreme Unction, to Hope, being ordained against venial sin; the Eucharist, to Charity, being ordained against the penal effect which is malice. order, to Prudence, being ordained against ignorance; Penance to Justice, being ordained against mortal sin; Matrimony, to Temperance, being ordained against concupiscence; Confirmation, to Fortitude, being ordained against infirmity.

Why The 7 Sacraments? W/ Fr. Gregory Pine

Episode Overview:In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles dive into a lighthearted yet profound discussion about the phrase "killing two birds with one stone," the joys and challenges of high school reunions, and a deep exploration of friendship—both human and divine. The episode centers on John 15:14-15, where Jesus calls His disciples friends, not servants, offering a transformative perspective on what it means to live in communion with Christ. A powerful confession experience ties the conversation together, emphasizing the shift from doing things for God to doing them with Him.Key Discussion Points:<ul><li>Opening Banter (00:00:16 - 00:04:55): Adam and David humorously debate the origins and modern misuse of the phrase "killing two birds with one stone," referencing historical and biblical imagery like David and Goliath, and even a viral video of Nolan Ryan hitting a bird with a baseball.</li><li>Life Updates (00:05:00 - 00:11:39): David shares his excitement for an upcoming family reunion in Wyoming, while Adam talks about his son Leo’s second-place finish in mutton busting at a local rodeo and his anticipation for a 20-year high school reunion, sparking a funny reflection on aging and pride.</li><li>Sponsorship Spotlight (00:12:00 - 00:13:15): The hosts highlight their long-time sponsor, Select International Tours, encouraging listeners to explore pilgrimage opportunities at <a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selectinternationaltours.com</a> and join their upcoming trip to Italy in October.</li><li>What We’re Drinking (00:13:29 - 00:15:47): Adam and David enjoy The Sassenach, a blended Scotch whiskey with a Gaelic name meaning "outsider" or "stranger." They praise its Highland-like flavor and art deco bottle, likening it to a Mad Men-style decanter.</li><li>Literature and Reading (00:16:46 - 00:20:43): David discusses reading G.K. Chesterton’s Man Alive, recommended by Monsignor Gallus, a Chesterton scholar, and touches on Plato’s The Republic. The hosts reflect on Chesterton’s whimsical style and the influence of classical works on Christian thought.</li><li>Main Topic: Friendship with Christ (00:22:08 - 00:58:51):</li><li>Biblical Foundation: Adam introduces John 15:14-15, where Jesus says, “You are my friends if you keep what I command you. No longer do I call you servants… but I have called you friends.” This passage sets the stage for a discussion on authentic friendship.</li><li>Philosophical Insights: Drawing from Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics (Books 8-10), the hosts explore his three types of friendship—pleasure, utility, and authentic (virtuous) friendship. Aristotle views authentic friendship as the highest moral achievement, impossible without virtue, as vice renders true friendship unattainable.</li><li>Christian Perspective: The discussion connects Aristotle’s ideas to Christian theology, with references to Augustine, Aquinas, and Cicero. Aquinas describes charity as the highest form of friendship, requiring mutual love, willing the good of the other, and a shared life—mirrored in Christ’s relationship with His disciples.</li><li>Old vs. New Covenant: The hosts contrast the Old Covenant’s servanthood (e.g., Abraham obeying without full understanding) with the New Covenant’s friendship, where Christ shares divine knowledge, inviting us into intimacy and communion.</li><li>Confession Insight: Adam shares a transformative moment from confession, where a priest challenged his mentality of doing things for God, urging him to focus on doing things with God. This shift reframes Christian life as a relationship of friendship, not obligation, aligning with John 15’s message.</li><li>Communion of Saints: The episode explores how the communion of saints reflects perfect friendship, unhindered by human vice, and how Christ’s infinite love desires this communion with us.</li><li>Practical Takeaway: The hosts encourage listeners to reflect on John 15:9-17 in adoration, emphasizing that God doesn’t need our works but desires our companionship. This perspective relieves the pressure of performance and combats pride, fostering a deeper relationship with Christ.</li></ul> Events and Announcements:<ul><li>Catholic Man Show Campout: Scheduled for the last Saturday in September at Clear Creek Abbey. Sign-ups open in August, with new activities planned for this milestone event (approximately the 10th annual campout).</li><li>Pilgrimage Opportunity: Join Adam and David in Italy this October with Father Stuart Kravcor. Visit <a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selectinternationaltours.com</a> for details.</li></ul> Resources Mentioned:<ul><li>Scripture: John 15:9-17, particularly verses 14-15.</li><li>Books: </li><li>G.K. Chesterton’s Man Alive</li><li>Plato’s The Republic</li><li>Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics (Books 8-10)</li><li>Ignatius Study Bible</li><li>Sponsorship: Select International Tours (<a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selectinternationaltours.com</a>)</li><li>Social Media: Check Adam’s Facebook for a video of his son Leo’s mutton busting performance.</li></ul> Quotes to Ponder:<ul><li>“You are my friends if you keep what I command you. No longer do I call you servants… but I have called you friends.” – John 15:14-15</li><li>“The Lord doesn’t need anything from you… You have to start thinking about doing things with the Lord.” – Priest in confession</li><li>“Friendship is the point of the Christian life.” – David Niles</li><li>“Charity is the highest form of friendship.” – St. Thomas Aquinas</li></ul> Call to Action:<ul><li>Reflect on John 15:9-17 in prayer or adoration to deepen your understanding of friendship with Christ.</li><li>Sign up for the Catholic Man Show Campout at Clear Creek Abbey in September.</li><li>Explore pilgrimage opportunities with Select International Tours.</li></ul> Share this episode with friends to spark conversations about authentic friendship and faith.

Discovering True Friendship with Christ: Insights from John 15

Grab a seat in the pew as John and guest host Deacon Jeff Dryzcimski discuss how often people make assumptions and how they can negatively effect our thoughts and relationships.

Assumptions

Habemus Papam! The Church has a new pope—and he’s from Chicago.
In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob react with joy, awe, and a healthy dose of disbelief to the election of Pope Leo XIV, a South Side Chicago native and fellow “Bob.” The first American pontiff, Leo XIV is an Augustinian, missionary, canon lawyer, and lifelong baseball fan with deep roots in both Villanova and Peru. His election is already making waves—and memes.
Before diving into Vatican news, the hosts process a different kind of drama: sports heartbreak. Bob relives the Cleveland Cavaliers’ playoff collapse—one for the record books—and the deep disappointment that followed. Father Dave offers perspective (and a hopeful prediction) before they shift gears to highlight Franciscan University's Commencement weekend. From Mary Rice Hasson’s bold defense of the human person to Bishop Andrew Cozzens’ catechetical preaching, the event was a joyful witness to faith and truth.
Finally, they unpack the significance of the name Leo, what this new pope may prioritize, and how the legacy of Pope Leo XIII—with his groundbreaking encyclicals on labor, justice, and the Holy Spirit—may resonate in the years ahead.
From Chicago sports to conclave suspense, from Catholic memes to Marian devotion, this episode is a fast-paced blend of humor, reverence, and hope for the Church’s future under a pope who, as Bob puts it, “plays Wordle with his brother and orders from Wawa.”

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.

Trump, The Democrats, and Transgenderism & MORE (Matt Walsh) | Ep. 195

Something special about every act of leadership is that it makes us alone.  The famous phrase, “it is lonely at the top” applies well to leader in every state.  But is this just an accident?  Or is it in fact a blessing?  When Mary was chosen by God to be the Mother of God, she had to fill the task no one else could fill.  But she embraced it as being chosen by God and therefore holding His hand into the great unknown that he would lead her.  And so she becomes an example for Christian leaders in every age.

DGT Episode 231 - Called And Chosen - Mary Queen Of Leaders Part 3

A different post than usual. Hope you enjoy. Fr. John Sweeney didn't believe in demons until he answered a call from one of his parishioners to come and bless her home because "the devil was after her" and discovered through the guidance of an old "traddie" priest how evil should be handled when it shows its face.

Did Jesus Christ Bodily Resurrect from the Dead? Dr Robert M. Price VS William Albrecht

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.

How @The Cordial Catholic Converted to Catholicism

What does it take to become a man of clarity, courage, and spiritual fire in a world that wants you passive, distracted, and numb? Today, John Heinen welcomes Fr. Boniface Hicks—Benedictine monk, spiritual director, and author. For over 20 years, Fr. Boniface has guided men through spiritual warfare, identity crises, and the hidden wounds that keep them from living as sons of God.

In this powerful conversation, he exposes why so many men today are stuck in fear and confusion—and how the ancient Rule of St. Benedict offers a blueprint for order, purpose, and peace. He goes into the misunderstood power of anger, the role of Marian devotion in masculine healing, and what it actually means to “earn” headship in your family and vocation.

Fr. Boniface shares hard-won wisdom from the monastery, the confessional, and the battlefield of the soul.

Fr. Boniface Hicks (Monk): Becoming a Man in a World That Wants You Passive

Without a doubt St. Peter and St. Paul dominate Church history – their names are as synonymous with Christianity as Our Lord’s own name or that of His Blessed Mother.  But how did the two get along and what was their relationship like?  If you were a leader how would you lead a church with someone like St. Paul in it? St. Peter gives us an example of a charismatic leadership – humble and empowering.

In this fast, powerful video, discover the small, high-impact habits that can transform the way you connect with others&mdash;at work, at home, and everywhere in between. You'll learn why people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care, and why building meaningful relationships is the single biggest predictor of happiness and health&mdash;even more than wealth or fame. We&rsquo;ll cover how to show appreciation in every interaction, the two feedback questions that build trust, and why taking the first step before you need the relationship is the real secret to success. If you're ready to strengthen your leadership, deepen your personal connections, and live a longer, healthier life, this is your starting point.

ILT Ep13 Elizabeth Biblical Bookworm

Spy Wednesday is here and we’re switching it up. Just three days from Easter, I’m inviting you into 10 minutes of sacred silence. Something different today: a chance to pause. Judas betrayed Jesus today for 30 pieces of silver, setting the stage for tomorrow’s agony. What did Joseph feel in his trials? Your challenge: Be still for 10 minutes. Drop the podcast speed to normal, let Jeff’s calming music guide you, and reflect—on Christ, on Joseph, on your life.  Maybe you’re swamped, stressed, or off-track this Lent. That’s fine. This is your reset. Simplify, obey, be humble—10 minutes to listen to God’s voice. It might be your only break today, so take it.

ILT Ep44 Nathan Crankfield

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 Son of Man, harshly rebuke the crowd’s worldly curiosity and then makes the stunning revelation that He is the long-awaited Messiah who is greater than even the revered King Solomon. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to to reject the idolatry of evil and insane modern ideas by holding to the 1st Commandment and seeking the Gift of Piety from the Holy Spirit. We’ll also consider the need to seek the Gift of Understanding so a man can grasp and live in the reality of his own coming resurrection.

INSPIRED by St. Maximilian KOLBE  | Anthony D'Ambrosio, Filmmaker | Episode #005

&quot;The gospel is good news. And when you have good news, you want to share it with people. That&#39;s really why our faith should be relentlessly public, because if you have really good news, you just want to shout it from the rooftops. And I would encourage people to remember that it&#39;s that times a million when it comes to Christ&#39;s saving love.&quot; Join us for an inspiring conversation with Maria McCann, pro-life advocate and public speaker, as we explore what it means to live out our Catholic faith courageously in the public sphere.Our discussion explores:- Why Bishop Robert Barron calls Christianity a &quot;relentlessly public religion&quot; and what that means for everyday Catholics- The spiritual challenges of pro-life advocacy and confronting cultural brokenness daily- How to avoid both savior complex and abdication of responsibility in social issues- Why changed behavior, not just changed minds, is the true measure of transformation- The danger of &quot;cafeteria Catholicism&quot; and treating faith as merely intellectual assent rather than lived reality- Practical steps to act yourself into a new way of thinking rather than waiting to feel motivated- How proximate justice differs from utopian thinking while still pursuing meaningful societal change- The importance of being equipped with solid apologetics to have effective conversations- Simple ways to publicly witness your faith: praying before meals, crossing yourself near churches, wearing religious medals- Maria&#39;s experience with Cardus&#39;s NextGen Fellowship for Christian young professionalsMaria shares powerful insights from nearly a decade in the pro-life movement, emphasizing that engaging in public life isn&#39;t just about political activism—it&#39;s about having mercy on our vulnerable neighbors and letting our hearts be broken by injustice. She offers encouragement for Catholics who feel intimidated about speaking up, reminding us that we can pursue meaningful change without expecting to create utopia.This episode challenges the prevailing Canadian culture of niceness that discourages public expressions of faith, calling Catholics to remember their task as Christian citizens: to help see Christ&#39;s love and freedom preside over all aspects of modern life.Resources:Maria McCann&#39;s website: https://mariamccann.ca/For Life London AssociationLondon Against AbortionCardus NextGen Fellowship: https://www.nextgenfellowship.ca/We want to hear from you!
