St. Francis de Sales was the Bishop of Geneva in the early 1600’s.  He wrote many wonderful texts of spirituality and is considered a Doctor of the Roman Catholic Church.  He also wrote many letters, especially to people who were in the world, that is, lay faithful who were entrusted with the charges of family, business, and politics.  These letters are treasures of wisdom and spirituality, and we begin the first of our series with a letter on inner peace.

She grew up playing soccer from the age of 9 and played goalkeeper and striker for AC Premier, Croatia Cleveland, and Kirtland High School and was trained under some notable former U.S. national team players. She also has received her youth futsal/indoor referee license from the U.S. Soccer Federation, and she served as the girls' head soccer coach at Braves Soccer Academy for U9-U11 teams for two years. She now partners with Ignite Athlete Training in Dallas, Texas, as a soccer trainer. Meanwhile, she quit her six-figure, Fortune 500 job in corporate America as an HR consultant at age 26 to start her own business helping faith-based believers who feel like they've hit a breaking point in their lives or careers to discover their unique purpose, boost their confidence, and become the most authentic versions of themselves while keeping Christ as the focal point through mind-body-spirit wellness and connection.

Brad Hubbard, Campus Director for the Encounter Ministry School at St Ann, joins the BeatiDudes for a wide-ranging and deeply grounded conversation that starts with parish life and ends in the heart of Christian identity. Drawing on lived experience, Brad reflects on what it means to anticipate others' needs, how that posture can quietly transform families, and why intentionally lived faith tends to ripple outward in unexpected ways. This episode carries the easy humor and brotherly banter you expect, but it also presses into much deeper.
At the center of the conversation is the idea of sonship. Brad unpacks how understanding ourselves as sons of the Father reshapes how we operate in the world. When we live from that place, humility and authority are no longer opposites. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein explore how this truth impacts everyday life, from family leadership to spiritual confidence, and why forgetting who we are often leads to unnecessary striving.
Key Takeaways
<ul>
 <li>Anticipating the needs of others can quietly but powerfully change hearts and families</li>
 <li>Sonship is not a soft idea but a source of real spiritual authority</li>
 <li>Knowing who you are in Christ changes how you lead, serve, and respond</li>
 <li>Humility and confidence can coexist when identity is rooted in the Father</li>
</ul>

Holy Spirit You Are Welcome Here | Brad Hubbard | Episode #295

Catholic Men's Leadership Alliance hosts Fr. Don Calloway, Jeff Cavins, Dr. Tim Gray and Devin Schadt for their St. Joseph Summit.  This summit is packed with powerful presentations on St. Joseph as a model of manhood and fatherhood for all men.  

St. Joseph is the patron of the Holy Catholic Church, the patron of families and the patron of fathers. St. Joseph, spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and earthly father of Christ, is a powerful intercessor for Catholic men who can help men grow in holiness and become heroic men of Christ. Men need St. Joseph in their corner!

Summit Topics
· St. Joseph the Patron of the Church, families and fathers
· The Virtues of St. Joseph as a model for men
· How St. Joseph can help men
· Consecration to St. Joseph

St. Joseph Summit: Model of Manhood and Fatherhood

Fr. Jason Huynh, LC, joins the BeatiDudes at the Tiny Table to share how God has slowly formed him from a kid in Atlanta into a missionary priest who has lived and studied in Georgia, New Hampshire, Mexico, Spain, and Rome. He unpacks what “formation” really means, from novitiate boot camp with one pen and real penance, to a 13-year path to ordination that taught him how to be a priest who can be “black ops special forces for Christ” wherever he is sent.
The conversation moves from football analogies and SEC smack talk to serious discernment as the Dudes and Father discuss the priesthood and marriage, and how good formation shapes men for both. Fr. Jason offers a simple three-step roadmap for young men discerning any vocation, while the Dudes share stories about seminary, their kids, and why every dad should at least raise the possibility of the priesthood with his sons.
Along the way, they wrestle with the Benedict Option, introduce the “Irving option,” and show how living a noble life in the middle of business, media, and everyday culture can evangelize the world more effectively than hiding from it. Of course, it would not be The BeatiDudes without a ridiculous round of Blessed Are the Joke Makers that somehow ties together St. Nicholas, The Notebook, bare necks in the woods, and Roman ticks.
 
Takeaways and Action Items
•	Pursue human nobility: Surround yourself with noble people, noble media, and noble habits so grace has something solid to build on.
•	Build a real prayer life: Move beyond emergency prayers and grow an honest daily relationship with Jesus.
•	Know yourself and stretch yourself: Step outside your comfort zone with things like pilgrimages, service, or new challenges to discover how God is calling you.
•	Dads, name the priesthood: Ask your sons if God might be calling them to be a priest or a husband, and let them know you will support either path.

5/20/23 - Ascension Sunday Daily Readings with Father Dom Homily

Jeff Joaquin’s journey is packed with hard-hitting truths and raw moments of transformation. From turning personal pain into purpose, to redefining weakness as true strength, he dives into the life-altering grip of addiction that started at age 9, nearly destroyed him by 21, and revealed his darkest battles with pornography and drugs. Smartphones become “original sin” devices, and he unveils three game-changing steps to fight addiction for good. Through painful revelations—including a haunting regret and a heart attack that pushed him to find faith—Jeff challenges men to take up the ultimate responsibility of fatherhood, confront the emptiness of workaholism, and reject the world’s lies. Finding forgiveness in confession, he calls men to live with authenticity, stand as “soldiers for Christ,” and embrace life’s highest calling. Inspired by the story of a martyr, he sends one final, powerful message: live for truth, no matter the cost.This talk was presented live at the morning convocation in October 2024. Jeff prays that his testimony shared with these young men helps them avoid the mistakes he made when he was growing up. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/jeffmjoaquin">Follow Jeff online </a>
