Free Speech & "Cancel Culture" (Dave Rubin) | Ep. 217

In this week&#39;s episode of Catholic ReCon, testimonies from reverts and converts, guest renowned author and scholar Joseph Pearce joins the program. Joseph Pearce, once a militant atheist and extremist, found his worldview shaken by the very writers he admired. In this powerful Catholic testimony, Pearce shares how great literature, reason, and grace led him from hatred to the Church. His story is one of transformation, truth, and the harmony of faith and reason. Watch as he reveals how unexpected encounters with Catholics like G.K. Chesterton and J.R.R. Tolkien challenged his beliefs — and ultimately brought him home to the Catholic Church. ▶jpearce.co #JosephPearceTestimony#CatholicConversion#FaithAndReason#GKChesterton#JRRTolkien#CatholicAuthor#ChristianTestimony#LiteratureAndFaith#CatholicChurch#ConvertStory#ChristianConversion#Catholicism#AtheistToCatholic#LOTR#PowerfulTestimony ▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship▶This is the home of powerful, real-life faith transformations 🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

Joseph Pearce's AMAZING Prison Conversion!

Holy Smokes. Not just an exclamation, but a perfect reaction to an episode where sports, surprises, and the sacred collide. 
In this final 2024 episode of They That Hope, Deacon Bob shares the electric experience of standing in the tunnel as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took the field, while Father Dave recounts something even more awe-inspiring: a private audience with Pope Francis in the Vatican. From the roar of NFL fans to the quiet reverence of the Pope’s library, the hosts explore the breadth of human experience, and the divine grace that fills it. 
They also dive into sky-high sports salaries (looking at you, Juan Soto), the mission of Franciscan University, and the heart of Christmas: Emmanuel, God with us. And yes, there's movie talk, praying cards, and a plea not to sing at Wicked.

From Protestant to Catholic (Lila Rose) | Ep. 232

<h3>Episode Overview</h3>David and Adam welcome Father Mike Schmitz to discuss the transformative power of prayer. With humor and candor, they explore the difference between merely saying prayers and truly praying, addressing how to cultivate a prayer life that aligns with God’s will. Drawing from Saint John Chrysostom and Fr. Thomas Dubay, the conversation emphasizes the universal need for prayer, especially for laypeople navigating the challenges of daily life, and offers practical insights for moving from rote recitation to a deeper, relational encounter with God.<h3>Key Discussion Points</h3><ul><li>Prayer for All Vocations: Fr. Mike Schmitz challenges the assumption that monks have a deeper prayer life, citing Saint John Chrysostom’s teaching that laypeople need prayer and scripture more than monks due to the “arrows and spears” of daily life—annoying bosses, irritating spouses, and bothersome kids. This resonates as a call for everyone to prioritize prayer, regardless of their state in life.</li><li>From Saying to Praying: The hosts and Fr. Mike discuss the transition from reciting set prayers to engaging in mental prayer (e.g., Ignatian prayer, Lectio Divina). Fr. Mike shares a personal story of a silent retreat where a memorized psalm provided words when his own failed, highlighting the value of rote prayers as a foundation for deeper communion.</li><li>Distractions in Prayer: The conversation addresses the common struggle of distractions, distinguishing between intentional distractions (e.g., checking a phone during prayer) and natural ones that God may use to purify prayer. Adam emphasizes the beauty of “wasting time” with God in contemplative presence, akin to an old couple silently enjoying each other’s company, versus being distracted by external devices.</li><li>Why Prayer Matters: Prayer is an act of faith, rooted in the belief that time spent with God transforms us into the person He calls us to be. Fr. Mike compares prayer’s motivation to health practices like intermittent fasting: if you’re convinced it makes a difference, you’ll commit. Prayer changes us to love like Jesus, even when we feel inadequate.</li><li>Overcoming Apathy and Ignorance: Referencing a humorous anecdote about a coach and player discussing “ignorance and apathy,” Fr. Mike stresses that convincing someone to pray requires sparking a desire to become more like Christ. Without an encounter with Jesus (the kerygma), prayer may seem irrelevant to those who don’t yet care to grow in holiness.</li><li>Practical Advice for Laymen: Fr. Thomas Dubay’s blunt wisdom—“If you’re content being a mediocre dad or mom, don’t pray”—underscores that prayer is essential for excellence in any vocation. Fr. Mike encourages introducing children to mental prayer early, as seen in his summer camp where sixth graders learn Lectio Divina and Ignatian prayer.</li></ul> <h3>Featured Gift</h3><ul><li><a href="https://catholicwoodworker.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Catholic Woodworker Rosary</a>: Fr. Mike receives an heirloom-quality rosary from The Catholic Woodworker, featuring handcrafted wood beads built to last. The hosts highlight its durability, even with young children handling it, and promote the official Catholic Man Show rosary.</li></ul> <h3>Spiritual Takeaway</h3>Prayer is not just a checkbox but an act of faith that transforms us into the image of Christ. Whether through memorized prayers that anchor us when words fail or mental prayer that fosters intimate communion, the key is presence with God. Laypeople, facing daily trials, need prayer as much as—if not more than—monks. By committing to prayer, even amidst distractions, we grow in love and align with God’s will for our lives.<h3>Call to Action</h3><ul><li>Get a <a href="https://catholicwoodworker.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Catholic Woodworker</a> Rosary: Visit <a href="https://catholicwoodworker.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">catholicwoodworker.com</a> to purchase an heirloom-quality rosary, including the official Catholic Man Show design, perfect for daily prayer.</li><li>Practice Mental Prayer: Start with Lectio Divina or Ignatian prayer to deepen your prayer life. Set aside time daily, even if brief, to be present with God, trusting that it will transform you.</li></ul>

Fr. Mike Schmitz: From Saying Prayers to Praying - Cultivating a Deeper Prayer Life

In the podcast we’ll learn that:

 - Jesus loves us unconditionally and wants us to be well
 - We should reflect on repeated sins and unroot the causes
 - Jesus offers us a new life, but He will not choose it for us

An Interview with Fr. Donald Calloway | Ep. 329

Leadership has many definitions but all of them have one thing in common:  people have to follow.  Regardless of how good your idea is or how passionate you are about it, if you can’t bring other people along with you, you will not be able to lead successfully.  But effectively sharing your vision and your passion is more than just a natural talent.  It’s a skill that can be studied and harnessed.  And what is more, it is an especial gift that Christ gives to the world through his Christian leaders.

Flowers and Ashes

Jesus is crucified and suffers on the Cross. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of Wisdom from the Holy Spirit so he can imitate Jesus Christ from the Cross and forgive others and by building the Virtue of Sacrifice so he can heroically sacrifice himself to build Christ&apos;s Holy Catholic Church.

One of the biggest challenges a leader has is the fact that everyone of us is responsible for the decisions that the people under us will make.  How can I help the people that I lead make good decisions?  St. Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologica writes a great deal about making choices.  By following his teaching we can have an insight that will help us to make good decisions.

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 Messiah, bluntly rebuke and the men of His hometown Nazareth and miraculously thwart their angry attempts to kill Him by throwing Him off a cliff. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to seek the Grace of Christ to grow in the Virtue of Faith so a man always remains faithful and loyal to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to build the Virtue of Piety so he can seek to imitate the heroic virtue of St. Joseph and seek his intercession in a man’s daily struggles.

Jesus reveals His Divine Identity to the Samaritan woman at the well.

Jesus reveals His Divine Identity to the Samaritan woman at the well - Sunday March 8, 2026 - Jn 4:5-42

You check all the boxes—good job, nice house, family, success—but still wake up asking, "Is this all there is?" You're not alone. 

This week in the pew, John is joined by his longtime friend Bart Schuchts, founder of Church on Fire and ministry leader with the John Paul II Healing Center, for an honest conversation about finding your God-given purpose when life feels like you're just surviving instead of thriving. Drawing from Scripture and raw personal experience, John and Bart explore why so many men are stuck in cycles of despair, working jobs that drain their souls while their hearts scream for something more.
