Men Answering the Heroic Call is a raw and real Catholic podcast for men who know there’s more. Hosted by Dean Patterson and Tom Hornacek, each episode dives into the deep questions men face today: Where are the fathers? Why are men lonely? What does it mean to lead, to love, to follow Christ in a culture that pulls you away from Him?

Through personal stories, tough truths, and faith-fueled encouragement, Dean and Tom confront the Catholic man crisis head-on. They’ve lived the lukewarm life—and they’ve both had radical encounters that changed everything. Whether you’re wrestling with porn, drifting in your marriage, showing up at Mass but feeling empty, or just wondering where your fire went, this show is your brotherhood-in-audio.

Expect stories of conversion, habits that build holiness, simple tools for prayer, accountability, evangelization, and Catholic masculinity—plus the real-life struggles that come with answering God’s call. No fluff. No shame. Just two guys who’ve walked the road—and want to help you find yours.
