Nobody needs “worry” explained to them. We have all felt it. We all know what it means to be stressed. What we do need to learn is how to fixate on Jesus and the present moment, rather than be paralyzed by circumstances we cannot control. The devil tries to pull us into the future and the past, but “the cards are going to fall the way they are ordained to fall.” So why do we worry?

Grab a seat in the pew with John and Victor to hear about:
- The tactics of the devil 
- Spiritual warfare of stress in daily life
- FOMO
- Romans 8:38-39

The Struggle With Anxiety

Discover

YOU are a leader!! We are all leaders. Leadership, in its simplest form, is influence. And we all influence people every single day, for better or worse, whether we like it or not. Parents, priests, bosses, spouses, and Christians in general are all leaders! We are all called to be an example to others and to help them remove the obstacles that stand between them and fulfilling their full potential. It's time we take responsibility for this and begin to be intentional about growing our leadership skills.&nbsp;
Fr Jonathan Meyer is a consistent guest on the podcast. He serves as the pastor for All Saints Parish in Guilford IN. We highly recommend you check out his parish's YouTube channel to catch his weekly homilies. Fr Meyer also serves as a member of the Board of Directors for Seeking Excellence.&nbsp;

Ep 6 | Let's Talk About Leadership! w/ Fr Jonathan Meyer

In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Peter Kreeft, Professor of Philosophy at Boston College and renowned author and lecturer. We discuss the importance of philosophy and logic, and why philosophical errors are at the root of much of the crisis in our culture and in the Church. We also consider how we seem to live in a world “without reason,” in which rationality seems to be in short supply and common sense not so common.

A World without Reason | Dr. Peter Kreeft | R4H

“GK. Chesterton says this. He says God chooses ordinary men for fatherhood to accomplish his extraordinary plan.”

During this special Father’s Day episode, Victor and I discuss the privilege and joy of fatherhood. They emphasize the importance of being present in their children's lives and being a positive example of a loving and caring father. They also discuss the sacrifices and selflessness required in fatherhood, as well as the opportunity to live out the teachings of Christ by loving and serving one's family

The Privilege Of Fatherhood

This week, I’m diving deep into what it means to truly wait on God. We live in a world where we’re always on the go, but sometimes, God calls us to slow down and listen. It’s not always easy—trust me, I struggle with it too! But the grace we find in that quiet waiting can be life-changing.

Join me as I talk about how I’ve navigated moments of feeling distant from God, and what I’ve learned about hearing His voice in the stillness. We all need patience, fortitude, and hope, and I hope this episode helps you find some in your own journey.

___________________________________________________________________________

📚 Bible verses for reflection:

Psalm 130:5 – "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."

Isaiah 40:31 – "But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

Micah 7:7 – "But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me."

Matthew 10:30 –  "But even the hairs of your head are all numbered."

Luke 22:44 –  "And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly; and His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground."

Waiting On God

What kind of man are you when no one is watching?
Do you fall to the temptations of sloth, gluttony, or lust? As Christians, we are called to be more like Christ—but sometimes we forget what that actually looks like.

A sure way to evaluate whether we are being Christlike is to ask: Am I the same man when I’m alone as I am at church, with my family, or at my men’s group?

Join us as we prepare for Holy Week, and challenge yourself to become consistent, just as Jesus was consistent. Follow His example: set your face like flint, feel the weight of the wood on your shoulder, and heave up your cross.

INSANE! ... No? Anyone? Bueller?

Everybody is tempted sometimes to question the value of leading by virtue.  Afterall, wouldn’t we make more money, be more profitable, find power quicker by mitigating our leadership into a life of power seeking or pleasure seeking?  Sometimes it seems like people who don’t follow God’s law even flourish the quicker.  Thomas Aquinas gives us a different perspective and underlines the essential importance that virtue plays in leadership.

105: How should we understand morality? With Fr. Dominic Legge

When you’re in charge you don’t have a cookie cutter method for guaranteeing you are doing what is right.  You have to make decisions that are difficult and uncertain and you have to make them every day.  Pope St. Gregory the Great understood this because he had to do the same thing every day.  And in his book, “The Rule For Shepherds” he gives us insight on how to bridge the paradoxes and find a way to leading our people with a unified vision despite the variety of decisions that fill our day.

John and Vic continue their Lenten Series on the 7 Deadly Sins this week by focusing on Sloth. All of us struggle with sloth both physically and spiritually at times in our lives.

Listen in this week as John and Vic discuss the dangers of becoming slothful and share tips on how to run the race as to win.  

In this Episode You’ll Hear:
Thoughts from Archbishop Fulton Sheen on Sloth

Peace In Christ

One of the terrible, and often true, stereotypes of Gen Z and Millenials is that of an entitled attitude. Young people today can be seen saying that they want to be able to work less and earn more than every generation before them - despite the fact that we currently live the most comfortable lifestyles in all of human history by a long shot. 
 
This flows in and out of a victim mindset - whereby young people blame all their financial problems on other people. The reality is that even if your situation is the result of other people&#39;s decisions, it&#39;s your responsibility to change it. 
 
There&#39;s a hard message in today&#39;s podcast. I hope that it will inspire some, especially young men, to recognize their God given capability for hard work, creativity, and fortitude.

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;

"Christmas is one of the most important days of the church year, second only to Easter itself. It is the culmination of the mystery of the incarnation - the feast of God becoming flesh. It is a uniquely Christian teaching that the divine chose to become one of us. Because of this belief, God is not only transcendent, but also wholly immanent - while remaining transcendent, meaning we must rise above our present condition to reach Him, He is at the same time immanent, meaning He is with us as ...

Making Your Christmas Catholic with Nicole Scheidl

In this conversation, Sean Lynn and Nick Pierlot explore themes of faith, magnanimity, and the importance of community in personal growth. Nick shares his background, his work at St. Therese Institute, and the significance of forming missionary disciples. They discuss the balance between courage and foolhardiness, the role of affirmation in personal development, and the power of stepping out in faith. The conversation also touches on the commissioning process at St. Therese and the importance of community life, family, and personal interests.Sean Lynn reflects on the importance of family traditions, the journey of rediscovering masculinity, and the profound lessons learned from St. Joseph. He discusses the balance of tenderness and fierceness in masculinity, the courage to face fears, and the significance of choosing virtue over vice. The dialogue emphasizes the everyday challenges men face and the call to discipleship in their lives. #godsquad #heroicmen #catholicinfluencer

Summary
 
In this conversation, Nathan Crankfield explores the complexities of personal control, judgment, and the false dichotomy of Catholic approaches to worship and excellence. He emphasizes the importance of avoiding lukewarmness in faith, the need for reverence in worship, and the impact of small actions on spiritual growth. Nathan addresses the challenges of being labeled a Pharisee for caring about church practices and traditions, while advocating for a balance between personal sanctification and communal responsibility. The discussion highlights the significance of discipline in faith and the necessity of maintaining a reverent attitude towards worship and the Eucharist.

How To Know If You're A Judgmental Hypocrite

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?

All of us need time where we can take a break and let our spirits be renewed.  In this very special series on “A Retreat With King David” I lead business professionals through a time of reflection on their own life as leaders in light of the story of King David.  God’s incredible working in David’s life presents a paradigm to help us understand the challenges and the grace of our own.

DGT Episode 107 - Called And Chosen - A Retreat With King David Part 1

Men, Jesus calls the devil ‘a liar and the father of lies.’ In this sense, Satan is a father—but only the father of falsehood and destruction. By rejecting God the Father, he has bound himself to a relentless hatred of fatherhood, carrying within himself an eternal, raging, self-inflicted father wound.

Ep 14: The Devil has a Father Wound?

Most Christians charged with positions of leadership tend to separate what they have to do every day in a practical sphere from there growth as Christians.  Spirituality and practicality are often looked at as opposites.  When this happens though, two things occur:  firstly, the world of practicality is left bereft of spiritual guidance and, simultaneously, our spirituality loses the strength that comes from our practical endeavors.  By uniting the two the Christian has the advantage.

50% of young men abandon faith in the Church - and God altogether - because they believe faith and science are in conflict.

Hope in Evangelization w/ Shaila Visser

After an incredibly successful career in the franchising industry, Robert Tunmire is now using his experience and expertise to deliver ministry to men worldwide. Robert shares the details of his journey, starting with his withdrawal from high school to run his first company and the subsequent business successes for decades. At 40, God shook Robert awake and brought him to a new understanding and an openness to the Holy Spirit. Through a string of encounters, Robert made a monumental shift in his life. He began working on launching and growing ministry to men, including Man in the Mirror, the Catholic Men’s Leadership Alliance, the Heroic Men platform, and the Central Texas Fellowship of Catholic Men. Robert has more than 44 years of experience in the franchising industry and is widely known for his ability to grow companies. He served as Executive Vice President of Neighborly (formerly The Dwyer Group) from 1998 to 2019. For seven years, he was the President of Glass Doctor, a 30-year-old company. He also served as President and CEO of Neighborly/The Dwyer Group and President of Mr. Rooter Corporation, one of Neighborly’s companies. In 1975, as a very young man, he opened his first franchise for Rainbow International Carpet Dyeing &amp; Cleaning, a Neighborly company. After buying and selling four franchises, all for a handsome profit, he joined the home office in 1982. He began working for Rainbow International, which was to become Neighborly's flagship company. Until his retirement, Robert led the Franchise Development team in recruiting all new franchisees across the brands at Neighborly. He also took an active role in training new franchisees and had a gift for building long-term relationships with franchisees.

PintsWithAquinas.com Get the book! <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pints-Aquinas-Thoughts-Angelic-Doctor/dp/0692752404">https://www.amazon.com/Pints-Aquinas-Thoughts-Angelic-Doctor/dp/0692752404</a> --- Does man have free will? It is written (Sirach 15:14): "God made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his own counsel"; and the gloss adds: "That is of his free-will." I answer that, Man has free-will: otherwise counsels, exhortations, commands, prohibitions, rewards, and punishments would be in vain. In order to make this evident, we must observe that some things act without judgment; as a stone moves downwards; and in like manner all things which lack knowledge. And some act from judgment, but not a free judgment; as brute animals. For the sheep, seeing the wolf, judges it a thing to be shunned, from a natural and not a free judgment, because it judges, not from reason, but from natural instinct. And the same thing is to be said of any judgment of brute animals. But man acts from judgment, because by his apprehensive power he judges that something should be avoided or sought. But because this judgment, in the case of some particular act, is not from a natural instinct, but from some act of comparison in the reason, therefore he acts from free judgment and retains the power of being inclined to various things. For reason in contingent matters may follow opposite courses, as we see in dialectic syllogisms and rhetorical arguments. Now particular operations are contingent, and therefore in such matters the judgment of reason may follow opposite courses, and is not determinate to one. And forasmuch as man is rational is it necessary that man have a free-will. ST. I, Q. 83, A. 1. Does God know future contingent things? God knows all things; not only things actual but also things possible to Him and creature; and since some of these are future contingent to us, it follows that God knows future contingent things. In evidence of this, we must consider that a contingent thing can be considered in two ways; first, in itself, in so far as it is now in act: and in this sense it is not considered as future, but as present; neither is it considered as contingent (as having reference) to one of two terms, but as determined to one; and on account of this it can be infallibly the object of certain knowledge, for instance to the sense of sight, as when I see that Socrates is sitting down. In another way a contingent thing can be considered as it is in its cause; and in this way it is considered as future, and as a contingent thing not yet determined to one; forasmuch as a contingent cause has relation to opposite things: and in this sense a contingent thing is not subject to any certain knowledge. Hence, whoever knows a contingent effect in its cause only, has merely a conjectural knowledge of it. Now God knows all contingent things not only as they are in their causes, but also as each one of them is actually in itself. And although contingent things become actual successively, nevertheless God knows contingent things not successively, as they are in their own being, as we do but simultaneously. The reason is because His knowledge is measured by eternity, as is also His being; and eternity being simultaneously whole comprises all time, as said above (I:10:2). Hence all things that are in time are present to God from eternity, not only because He has the types of things present within Him, as some say; but because His glance is carried from eternity over all things as they are in their presentiality. Hence it is manifest that contingent things are infallibly known by God, inasmuch as they are subject to the divine sight in their presentiality; yet they are future contingent things in relation to their own causes.

A Dram With Kevin O’Brien

&quot;It&#39;s been known throughout history that groups of people who belong to a certain community will often form their own parallel economies. We&#39;re seeing this happen now in the Catholic community.&quot; Join us for an engaging conversation with Marcellino D&#39;Ambrosio, co-founder and creative director of Sherwood Fellows, about the emerging Catholic parallel economy. Our discussion explores: - Why today&#39;s mass culture is fundamentally anti-Catholic and anti-family- The alarming statistics showing 11+ million young people leaving the Church- How parents are being forced to make difficult decisions about education, career, and family life- The need for Catholic entrepreneurs to build businesses that uphold Catholic values- Why simply catechizing our children isn&#39;t enough when they&#39;re immersed in secular culture- The challenges of balancing entrepreneurship with family stability- How Catholic professionals can navigate increasingly hostile workplace environments- Practical advice for those considering taking a stand for their faith in business Marcellino shares his journey of building a creative agency that helps Catholic organizations develop vision and strategy, rather than just marketing tactics. He offers candid insights about the risks and rewards of being openly Catholic in business today, and why the creation of a parallel economy isn&#39;t just optional - it&#39;s becoming inevitable. This episode reminds us that while building Catholic alternatives to mainstream institutions involves sacrifice, it may be the only way to preserve our faith and values for future generations. Whether you&#39;re an entrepreneur, business leader, or simply a Catholic trying to navigate career decisions, this conversation offers valuable perspective on living authentically in an increasingly hostile culture.

The BeatiDudes proudly welcome a friend and sponsor, Scott Williams, from Catholic Concepts &amp; Sock Religious. Scott traveled to Texas from Indianapolis to bring his stories, puns, and dreams of great Catholic concepts to come. Scott is a ministry professional turned entrepreneur and the founder of the largest Catholic sock company in the world (probably). After working nearly a decade in full-time youth ministry, Scott turned a side hustle into a rapidly growing small business in a niche Catholic corner of the internet. If you asked Scott 10 years ago if he would be selling socks and other merchandise, he would have said you're crazy. The Dudes start the show by reflecting on how Scott Williams and Sock Religious came into our lives, and the puns ensue. Scott goes on to talk about the original story of launching a sock company and their incredible debut at the 2017 National Catholic Youth Conference. Scott judges the Dudes during Blessed are the Joke Makers as they take on the persona of “The One Upper” to answer the prompt, “what priests really want to talk about in their homilies.” The second segment starts with an amazing story of the bus Scott and his friends purchased in college for $1200 that was converted into a recreational vehicle for traveling to concerts, football games, and other activities together. This episode’s TBD Question – What would you create or build if money was not an object? Reverse Simpsons – The Dudes take turns pitching Scott on new product lines for Catholic Creatives and some of these ideas are worth exploring!Scott then wraps up the show by sharing the great news that starting in July of 2023, every sock produced by Sock Religious is American made in his factory in Indianapolis.

Heroic Minute - Season 5

Today we address a great conversation that occurred on the Diary of a CEO debating the economic effects of Trump's election. The conversation quickly turned into the global crisis of masculinity today and the commentators found themselves unexpectedly on common grounds. John Heinen and Devin Schadt listen and respond to clips from atheist Scott Galloway, agnostic Konstantin Kisin, Daniel Priestly, and Steven Bartlett as they try and make worldly sense of what it means to be a man. We discuss the overwhelming large global issue that occurs when masculinity is denied, Trump's view of masculinity, why men need a code of life, and how to raise sons in times like these.🔴 🔴 SPONSORS🔵 Holy Habits - <a href="https://holyhabits.app/gentleman/">Click Here</a>Watch the extended addition, all 1 h 25 mins of episode 194 on Catholic Gentleman Plus, where we go deeper into the President Trump form of masculinity and how true masculinity is accomplished: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com0:00 Intro05:23 Scott Galloway, Konstantin Kisin, Daniel Priestly, and Steven Bartlett World View10:15 The Crisis of Masculinity Stats - Scott Galloway13:30 Humanism and Love for Mankind18:42 What got us here?24:32 Demonizing men and Radical Feminism - Konstantin Kisin31:07 The Necessity of Code for Men49:22 How to Raise Our Sons to Become Men01:04:58 The Weekly Challenge for Men QUESTION OF THE WEEK: We love to answer your questions on the show so send them our way to <a href="mailto:podcast@catholicgentleman.com">podcast@catholicgentleman.com</a>.Check out the Fathers of St. Joseph - https://fathersofstjoseph.org/CATHOLIC GENTLEMAN PLUS (ENTERTAINMENT SESSION JUST LANDED)🔴 🔴 Watch the extended addition, all 1 h 25 mins of episode 194 on Catholic Gentleman Plus where we go deeper into how men can better prepare and combat these lies: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com🔴 Enjoy 21 unique sessions, access exclusive weekly content, ebooks, guest series, and our live Q and A at Catholic Gentleman Plus: <a href="https://catholicgentlemanplus.com/">https://catholicgentlemanplus.com</a>Help Support the Catholic Gentleman by either signing up for CG+ https://catholicgentlemanplus.com or https://catholicgentleman.com/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Jesus, I Trust in YOU | Fr. Chris Alar, MIC | Episode #091

Do you ever feel like your work, whether it’s swinging a hammer, chasing deadlines, or just mowing the lawn, lacks purpose? Welcome to Day 20 of our Lenten Reflections series, where we unpack St. Joseph as the "Model of Workers." This isn’t about a corner office or a fat paycheck; it’s about a carpenter with calluses who taught Jesus how to work with his hands and turned sweat into worship. Joseph didn’t just clock in. He sanctified every task, from shaping wood to shaping the Savior, showing us that labor can be love, duty, and a middle finger to the devil who hates honest effort. We’ll dig into how Jesus learned this trade in Nazareth, prepping for Gethsemane, and how Jason Craig’s Leaving Boyhood Behind ties it to a boy’s shift from mom to dad. Today’s challenge: pick one task big (like your job) small (like doing the dishes) and do it well. Offer it to God. Hit play to see how Joseph’s example can flip your grind into glory, no matter what you do.Referenced Products/Books<ul><li><a href="https://www.osvcatholicbookstore.com/leaving-boyhood-behind-reclaiming-the-gift-of-manhood-and-traditional-rites-of-passage.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Leaving Boyhood Behind: Reclaiming Catholic Brotherhood </a>by Jason Craig</li></ul>Powerful Quotes<ol><li>"Work isn’t drudgery.

ECM Deep Discussions - Speaking with Father Mike Schmitz on helping Catholic Men

Kyle Washut is the youngest Catholic president at the youngest Catholic college in America. Kyle, President at Wyoming Catholic College (WCC), joins The BeatiDudes for an adventurous episode full of surprises, including the unique approach that WCC takes to educating and forming its students. WCC is a “great books school” where every student starts their freshmen year by spending several weeks in the wilderness. They all receive the same degree, a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts. In addition to spending a semester on horseback, the entire student body memorizes a repertoire of poems and songs that unite them in the classroom and around the campfire. Kyle, a Wyoming native, has been with WCC since its inception. Growing up in Casper, Wyoming, he worked in nuclear missile silos and coal mines during his teenage years, receiving an AA in Political Science and a second in Spanish from Casper College in 2003. While in Casper, he studied under two of WCC’s eventual founders, Dr. Robert Carlson and Fr. Robert Cook. He began his journey toward Wyoming Catholic by serving as a dishwasher at the annual Wyoming School for Catholic Thought, where the idea for the College was first proposed.He graduated from Thomas Aquinas College in 2007 with a B.A. in Liberal Arts and returned to Wyoming (and Wyoming Catholic) as the inaugural Assistant Dean for Student Life—a position he held until departing in the Fall of 2009 to pursue a graduate degree in Sacred Theology from Austria’s International Theological Institute (ITI).

ILT Ep12 Steve Ray

A celebration of faith and music: The Litany of St. Joseph in Song
On a remarkable evening in Calgary, the Catholic community gathered for a joyous and family-friendly musical event, one that resonated with men, women, and children alike. This spiritually uplifting concert was a tribute to the power of faith expressed through music, offering a rich blend of tradition, talent, and devotion.
Held in honor of St. Joseph&mdash;the Patron Saint of Canada&mdash;the event brought together voices from across the Diocese of Calgary. Selected choirs from various parishes performed sacred music that echoed the dignity and strength of this holy figure. These harmonious offerings set the tone for an unforgettable evening of reverence and unity.
At the heart of the evening was the world premiere of an original musical setting of the Litany of St. Joseph. Composed and conducted by Alberta&rsquo;s own Carlos Foggin&mdash;an award-winning maestro known for his dynamic leadership&mdash;this debut was the crescendo of the night. It marked not just a musical milestone but a spiritual one, inviting all in attendance into a deeper reflection on the virtues of St. Joseph.
The concert was more than a performance; it was a prayer in song, a communal act of praise during the 2025 Jubilee Year Celebrations. As part of the global theme Pilgrims of Hope, the evening offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness history through harmony and faith.
This recording captures the spirit of the event&mdash;its reverence, its joy, and its call to unity through music. We invite you to experience this sacred celebration and to stay connected for more spiritual opportunities in the days ahead.

ILT Ep42 Fr. Larry Richards

Where citizens are oppressed by a public authority overstepping its competence, they should not protest against those things which are objectively required for the common good; but it is legitimate for them to defend their own rights and the rights of their fellow citizens against the abuse of this authority, while keeping within those limits drawn by the natural law and the Gospels. Deacon Harold talks about this further today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 106:28-31

Is Violence a Way to Solve Problems?

Advent is a season that invites every man to return home to the Father. In this episode, John sits down with his friend Paul George—speaker, author, and founder of The Art of Living—to talk about Paul’s new Advent devotional for men, Feast, and the parable at the heart of it: the Prodigal Son.

John and Paul discuss why this story hits so deeply for men, how it mirrors our own patterns of pride, failure, repentance, and renewal, and why Scripture meets us differently every time we return to it. They walk through the themes of famine, forging, the Father’s embrace, and the feast that follows, showing how God uses our brokenness as the very place where healing begins.

Feast with Paul George

The Blessed Virgin Mary is visited by the Archangel Gabriel and gives her humble “yes” to God’s desire for her to become the Mother of God. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by growing in the Virtue of Humility so he can reject pride and do God’s will and by seeking the Fruits of Love, Patience, Kindness and Generosity from the Holy Spirit so he can be a blessing to others.

Episode 107 - The Archangel Gabriel’s Annunciation of the birth of Jesus to the Blessed Virgin Mary - Sunday December 24, 2023  – Lk 1:26-38

Without a doubt leadership is hard and challenging and sometimes we get so used to its challenge that we forget that we can make it successful.  We learn to get used to the very things that can cause our downfall.  But it doesn’t have to be this way.  One of the big elements we struggle with as leaders is our ability to plan effectively - our ability to see our way through changing circumstances.  This ability is impeded by what we call “fog”.  And understanding “fog” is the key to overcoming it.

What do a boxing match, a beloved dog, and a playoff-bound soccer team have in common? They’re all part of the ride in this week’s episode, Taxi Driver.
Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, and Deacon Bob Rice take listeners on a wild journey through sports drama, media frenzy, and spiritual reflection—with plenty of unexpected turns and heartfelt pit stops along the way. 
They start with an NFL roundup, including shocking upsets, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ undefeated streak, and Franciscan University’s PAC soccer championship (featuring Deacon Bob’s son Colby). Along the way, they honor Ben the Dog from College GameDay, debate the surreal Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight, and reflect on recent election results—complete with media reactions, political hot takes, and a cameo from The View. 
But the destination is the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Drawing from Pope Francis’s new document He Loves Us, the hosts explore Jesus’s love, His gaze, and His heart that still beats for each of us. Whether you’re stuck in traffic or cruising through life, this episode reminds you that hope is never far away.

November monthly update

In the ascent towards holiness and happiness, a Catholic man must build the good habits (Virtue, from the Latin, vir, meaning “manliness, moral strength, goodness, valor”) of the moral life and break the bad habits (Vice, from the Latin, vitium, meaning “defect, offense, blemish, imperfection”) which cause him to fall into sin and risk losing his salvation. The Church provides a comprehensive list of Virtues which fall into two major categories: Theological Virtues (Supernatural) and Cardinal Virtues (Human). Because it is impossible for a mere man ascend to Heaven on his own ability, God grants every Catholic man the supernatural help to grow in Virtue through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit which are freely available to every Catholic man who remains in a state of grace; even if a Catholic man falls into mortal sin and loses the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, he can repent, confess his sins in the Sacrament of Penance and return to a state of grace and regain access to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. What a man needs to break Vice and build Virtue is to come to understand Vice and Virtue and then seek God’s help. To help men understand Virtue and Vice and take concrete action, <a href='http://everycathoicman.com/'>EveryCathoicMan.com</a> has developed the Litanies of Virtue.<a href='https://everycatholicman.com/overview-of-vice-virtue-and-the-holy-spirit/'>To learn more about Vice, Virtue and the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit, go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a> <a href='https://everycatholicman.com/litany-of-humility-against-pride/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Humility go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a>

LITANIES OF VIRTUE SERIES - The Litany of Humility (Against Pride)

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, with Divine Power and Charisma, immediately converts the heart of the hardened tax collector Matthew and how Jesus asserts His Divine Authority and rebukes the misguided Pharisees. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to seek the Gift of Counsel from the Holy Spirit so he can more fully receive and proclaim the Truth and Mercy of Jesus to others. We’ll also consider the importance of growing in Virtue of Diligence by doing a daily Examination of Conscience so a Catholic man can practice continual conversion.

Episode 20 - Jesus calls the tax-collector Matthew and publicly rebukes the Pharisees after they insult Him - Lenten Daily Gospel Bible Study - Saturday February 25, 2023 - Lk 5:27-32

This week, John welcomes back Dr. Bob Schuchts—Catholic therapist, author, and founder of the John Paul II Healing Center—for an in-depth conversation about what it means to truly trust in the Father’s provision.

Self-reliance can creep into our lives in subtle ways, and fear and control often mask as responsibility. Listen in as Dr. Bob shares personal stories and insights from his new book Trusting Our Father’s Provision, which demonstrate how real freedom begins when we let go and allow God to provide.

If you’ve ever struggled to surrender your finances, your future, or your sense of security to God, the Father sees you. He knows what you need. And He can be trusted.

Trusting in the Father's Provision - With Dr. Bob Schuchts

Friends, in today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," we share Lecture 1 from Peter Kreeft's new 12-part video series on <a href="https://wordonfire.org/philosophy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">"Socrates' Children: The Great Debates of Philosophy."</a> In this lecture series, Dr. Peter Kreeft examines key ideas in philosophy by comparing and contrasting two representative philosophers in each lecture. The first lecture compares the father of philosophy, Socrates, with the Sophists, whose philosophy is marked more by cleverness and emotion rather than by wisdom and truth. This video series is being released alongside Word on Fire's new book series by Kreeft, titled <a href= "https://wordonfire.org/philosophy?_ga=2.128706956.1681425296.1677787164-1034457484.1641079730&_gl=1*15ctd40*_ga*MTAzNDQ1NzQ4NC4xNjQxMDc5NzMw*_ga_4081DYV3TL*MTY3Nzc4OTE1MS40OTMuMS4xNjc3NzkwNzM2LjQ4LjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Socrates' Children: An Introduction to Philosophy from the 100 Greatest Philosophers</a>. In this four-volume series, Kreeft examines with his characteristic wit and clarity, the big ideas of four major eras—ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary—and immerses the reader in the "great conversation" the ongoing dialogue among the great thinkers of history.

WOF 376: Peter Kreeft on Socrates vs. the Sophists

When we assume a role of leadership we set ourselves apart from the people that we lead.  By definition the leader is at the top or first in line.  And leaders in general play positions in society where power is a part of their lives.  But what do we do as Christians?  Shouldn’t we be the same as every other Christian?  And what if our position of leadership brings us a little too close to the world and its way of thinking and acting?  What did our Lord do?  How did He live?

Like the Burning Bush Moses encountered in the wilderness, we must be set aflame with the power of the Holy Spirit.

“Be Like a Living Flame”

Why is Pentecost so vital for us? It's the defining moment in our origin story, the moment when sacraments and gifts mark us as beloved children of God. Uncover the origin story of your Catholic faith and discover the power of reconciliation and the Holy Spirit.&nbsp;Heroic Word, the weekly show where we reflect on the Word of God in this Sunday's Gospel. I'm Mike Donovan, a leadership coach with Heroic Men. Every time we take the Word of God in scripture seriously, it naturally pulls to take our sacramental life seriously, how we live out our faith at home and at work. Join me each Thursday to reflect on the upcoming Sunday’s readings, so that our hearts are better prepared to receive our Lord and Hero in the Eucharist.&nbsp;Then join me in the Heroic Brotherhood to share your insights and meet other men walking the same journey: https://heroicmen.circle.so/c/heroic-word/

Why Pentecost is our Origin Story

We&rsquo;re on pilgrimage in Poland, walking where saints once walked. In this episode, Fr. Ian Hollick joins us on the road&mdash;from the mountains of Zakopane to the silence of Auschwitz&mdash;reflecting on the deep connection between suffering and beauty.
We hear about John Paul II&rsquo;s childhood, his family&rsquo;s quiet faith, and the early losses that shaped a future saint. We pray the Litany of Trust right from the tour bus. We talk indulgences, hope, and how God takes even the darkest notes and turns them into music.
