EP46 - Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

<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

Many people see holiness as something that is out of reach or something that will be attained in the future.  We don't have to wait until we are perfect to do things that are holy. 

In this episode, Jon Leonetti calls us to embrace holiness that is accessible to us today. As we journey through this season of Lent, consider the ways you can live in holiness today instead of waiting for tomorrow.

We all know the temptation to glory, power, and fame.  We all know the power of its allure and how desirable it seems to be.  So what’s the downside?  If in fact we don’t live as soldiers of Christ and followers of the King of Kings but become tyrants ourselves, benefitting ourselves at the expense of our flock, what’s the downside?  What could possible go wrong?  Listen in to my commentary on chapters 10 and 11 of Thomas Aquinas’ De Regno.

Hope in Evangelization w/ Shaila Visser

Today, American Ninja Warrior and Catholic evangelist, Sean Bryan, discusses how his life has brought him to the peak of physical performance and how it is all done through the Holy Spirit. He has a passionate and clear understanding of the Faith and he lives that in his actions, insights, and missionary work off the course. We talk about his choice of the moniker, "Papal Ninja", how the Church lacks in forming men today, and what Sean and his apostolate, Lay Mission Project, are doing to fill that void. Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/papalninjaLay Mission Project - https://laymission.net🔴 Support The Catholic GentlemanJoin the movement of The Catholic Gentleman by supporting us and getting incredible gifts as a thank you for your support: https://patreon.com/catholicgentlemanSean Bryan is most known for his participation in the hit TV show American Ninja Warrior, where he has taken on the identity of the "Papal Ninja," stealthily taking on his role in the mission of the Church to evangelize the world. Sean received his Bachelor’s of Arts at UC Berkeley, where he studied physics and was on the men’s gymnastics team. He completed his Master of Arts in Theology with a Salesian Studies concentration at the Dominican School of Philosophy &amp; Theology. His Masters thesis analyzed the ecclesiology inherent to documents of the Second Vatican Council, and proposes the Scriptural notion of liturgy as an interpretive lens that elucidates the relationship between formal ritual worship and its integrated expression in everyday life. His exploration led to practical applications geared toward the animation of the faithful in the Church’s mission, including the Lay Mission Project: an in-depth disciple-community formation experience that enables the laity to live the faith in their daily lives, foster strong relationships, and transform your world. In his spare time, Sean co-founded Traverse Fitness, a ninja warrior gym that trains the current, and next generation of obstacle course racers, many of whom are underprivileged kids whose memberships are discounted and subsidized through donations.

American Ninja Warrior, Sean Bryan on Peak Performance and Evangelization

Today we hear Jesus at the Last Supper reveal that Judas will betray Him and mysteriously refer to the horrible fate that awaits His betrayer. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to build the Virtue of Obedience so he can always fulfill his sacred duty to attend Sunday Mass.  We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to grow in the Virtue of Diligence so he can strive to honor God with every thought, word and deed.

Episode 60 - Jesus reveals Judas’ betrayal and his horrible fate - Wednesday April 5, 2023 - Mt 26:14-25

Jesus Christ is born in poverty to the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph in Bethlehem and is accompanied by an army of of angels. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of the Fear of the Lord so he can be drawn to God and by building the Virtue of Generosity so he can always be exceedingly generous to the poor.

Edmundo Reyes | The Love That Never Ends (Best of)

One of the defining features of the Christian moral and spiritual life is the supernatural virtue of hope. What is hope? What makes hope more than a mere superstition? How does hope help us live both individually and in community? Can hope have negative consequences, like motivating people to remain passive in the face of injustice? And what, if any, evangelical significance does hope have? Bishop Barron gives us five reasons why we should be hopeful in the new year. A listener asks how he can find the strength to pray again. 00:00 | Intro 01:14 | Bishop Barron’s 2024 highlights 02:47 | The Christian concept of hope 04:15 | Hope’s relationship to reason 05:12 | Hope’s practical value in life 06:24 | Distinguishing hope from faith 08:27 | Distinguishing hope from optimism 10:21 | Responding to critiques of hope 15:37 | Reason 1: Bible sales increase while “nones” appear to have peaked 19:53 | Reason 2: Woke ideology is losing its grip on the culture 23:27 | Reason 3: Protestants and Catholics have increased cooperation 25:36 | Reason 4: The public response to the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral 30:01 | Reason 5: The Church continues to grow 31:27 | Listener question 33:53 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Article on Bible sales: <a href= "https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT" aria-label= "https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link= "">https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds</a></li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" aria-label= "Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

WOF 469: 5 Reasons to Be Hopeful in the New Year

John Heinen, Devin Schadt, and Sam Guzman sit down to discuss why Satan hates the Blessed Virgin Mary so intensely. They unpack the truths that Scripture, Tradition, modern exorcists, and the holy saints uniformly teach. From Genesis to Revelation, the battle between the devil and Our Blessed Mother is clear. In this episode, they touch on four reasons why the Devil hates the Blessed Virgin and why you should love Her and join Her army.In this show we discuss;<ul>
<li>What men can expect to gain by understanding these truths</li>
<li>How Mary's womanhood, as opposed to manhood, contributes to Satan's anger</li>

4 Reasons Why the Devil Hates the Blessed Virgin

The recent confrontation between a grinning young high school student and a Native American elder has led to much anger and vitriol, especially on social media. But as Bishop Barron suggests, it also exemplified the "scapegoating mechanism" described by philosopher René Girard. How do we avoid this scapegoating? How can we bring more light to the online world? Bishop Barron has some advice. A listener asks whether our memories will transfer to Heaven.

WOF 166: Scapegoating on Social Media

Does God exist? That is the question Catholic comedian and television host, Stephen Colbert, debated with his Late Show guest, the popular actor and outspoken atheist, Ricky Gervais. The YouTube video clip of the two men going "head to head on religion" has gone viral, quickly garnering over 2.5 million views. In this episode of The Word on Fire Show, Bishop Barron breaks down each segment of the discussion and offers helpful insights for everyone fascinated (or haunted) by questions about God. The listener question asks whether atheists or theists bear the burden of proof when it comes to these debates. Topics Discussed <ul> <li>0:17  - Introduction, Bishop Barron's trip to Georgia for a Pivotal Players promotion</li> <li>4:00 - Colbert to Gervais, "Why is there something rather than nothing?"</li> <li>7:36 - What is the difference between asking why the universe exists and h0w the universe exists?</li> <li>12:05 - Colbert to Gervais, "Do you believe in a prime mover?"</li> <li>14:05 - Gervais explains what he believes an agnostic atheist is.</li> <li>16:57 - Gervais to Colbert, "You deny one less God than I do"</li> <li>20:52 - Colbert to Gervais, "Do you ever have a feeling of great gratitude for existence?"</li> <li>25:47 - Gervais explains to Colbert that Science is repeatable and holy books are not.</li> <li>29:20 - Listener Question: Do atheists or theists bear the burden of proof during debates about the existence of God?</li> </ul> Bonus Resources <ul> <li>Videos <ul> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5ZOwNK6n9U">Ricky Gervais And Stephen Go Head-To-Head On Religion</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/atheism-and-philosophy/4611/"> Atheism and Philosophy </a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/stephen-hawking-and-atheism/154/"> Bishop Barron on Stephen Hawking and Atheism</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/stephen-fry-job-and-suffering/4671/"> Bishop Barron on Stephen Fry, Job, and Suffering</a></li> <li><a class="ytp-title-link yt-uix-sessionlink" href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/gods-existence-and-the-argument-from-desire/4583/" target="_blank" data-sessionlink="feature=player-title">Bishop Barron on God's Existence and The Argument from Desire</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>DVD's <ul> <li><a href= "http://pivotalplayers.wordonfire.org/">CATHOLICISM: The Pivotal Players</a> (Word On Fire)</li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/dvd/catholicism-series/1036/"> Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith</a> (Word On Fire)</li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/dvd/mystery-of-god/4775/">The Mystery of God</a> (Word On Fire)</li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/dvd/faith-clips/4421/">Faith Clips</a> (Word On Fire)</li> </ul> </li> <li> Articles   <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/playing-at-atheism/336/"> Playing at Atheism</a> (Bishop Barron)</li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/the-glory-of-god-is-a-human-being-fully-alive/320/"> The Glory of God is a Human Being 'Fully Alive'</a> (Bishop Barron)</li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/why-are-so-many-atheists-on-the-cnn-belief-blog/414/"> Bishop Barron on Atheists at the CNN Belief Blog </a> (Bishop Barron)</li> </ul> </li> <li>Books <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/book/the-priority-of-christ-toward-a-postliberal-catholicism/2366/"> The Priority of Christ</a> by Bishop Barron</li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/book/word-on-fire-proclaiming-the-power-of-christ/2367/"> Word On Fire: Proclaiming the Power of Christ</a>  by Bishop Barron</li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/book/catholicism-a-journey-to-the-heart-of-the-faith/2370/"> Catholicism </a>by Bishop Barron</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Study Program  <ul> <li><a href="http://mysteryofgod.com">The Mystery of God: Who God Is and Why He Matters</a> (Bishop Barron)</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Websites <ul> <li><a href="http://www.WordOnFire.org">Word On Fire</a> (Proclaiming Christ in the Culture)</li> </ul> </li> </ul> Find bonus links and resources for this episode at <a href= "http://wordonfireshow.com/">http://WordOnFireShow.com</a> and, again, be sure to submit your questions at <a href= "http://askbishopbarron.com/">http://As</a><a href= "http://askbishopbarron.com/">kBishopBarron</a>.

Alex Trevino is a strong Catholic husband, father, and businessman. He is also the founder and president of a film production company called Project Thirty-Six. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, Alex joins the Dudes by taking on the persona of a penny-pinching cheapskate to finish the prompt, “Next on Catholic radio, we will be talking about _______”Alex shares the details of his loving family, which includes four kids on Earth and one in Heaven after losing a baby during pregnancy just seven months earlier. This is Alex’s first time sharing the story of their loss publicly, and he beautifully expresses the sadness, healing, and recovery that is underway in his family. Alex never imagined that visiting a child’s gravesite would become a routine part of every Sunday. Alex encourages anyone facing grief to seek help, and the Dudes share more about resources that are available, including Red Bird Ministries.

What Conscience Is (And Isn't) And How to Form It w/ Dr. Matthew Levering

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel DevotionalWhere 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 celebrate the manifestation of Our Lord in the great Feast of the Epiphany and recall how the Wise Men were absolutely awed by the Infant Jesus and how they thwarted the evil King Herod’s plans to kill Jesus.  We’ll reflect upon the call for every Catholic man to aspire to greatness as a man of Christ and the need to grow in the Virtue of Magnanimity. We’ll also consider the need for every Catholic man to seek the Virtue of Self-control so he can pursue the excellence of Sainthood.

About our drink:
Midnight Ritual
Fans of Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat Beer will be able to enjoy the iconic ale like never before:  as a whiskey. The collaboration with Iowa-based Foundry Distilling Co. turns nascent Unfiltered Wheat into 89 proof Midnight Ritual, an American malt whiskey.
Prior to fermentation, Unfiltered Wheat traveled by tanker from Boulevard’s Kansas City brewery to historic Valley Junction in West Des Moines, Iowa, home of Foundry Distilling Company. After distillation in Foundry’s towering column still and a slumber of more than two years in new 30-gallon #3 charred oak barrels, Midnight Ritual entices with notes of caramel, banana bread, and allspice.

About the Topic:
We take a unique reflection on the Incarnation with our guest, Dr. Ricahrd Meloche. We ask why Christ was born during the time period he was and what the significance of this. We look at Pope Benedict's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regensburg_lecture#:~:text=The%20Regensburg%20lecture%20or%20Regensburg,as%20a%20professor%20of%20theology." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Regensburg lecture</a> while enjoying a sip of whiskey and puffing on a pipe.
About The Alcuin Institute:
Officially launched on Oct. 7, 2018—the feast day of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary - the Alcuin Institute is an educational and cultural institute that oversees the formation of Catholic leaders and educators throughout the Diocese of Tulsa &amp; Eastern Oklahoma.
The Alcuin Institute for Catholic Culture seeks to cultivate in the Diocese of Tulsa &amp; Eastern Oklahoma forgotten, and often forbidden, realities—such as virtue, chivalry, valor, self-denial, a fondness for things of the past, and the real mirth found in friendship in order that truth, goodness, and beauty may prevail. In doing so we hope to become a bastion for authentic Catholic culture.
