Why a Protestant Doctor Dared to Analyze the Early Church | Catholic Conversion Story

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. This show highlights perseverance and the Father’s loving care. <h2>Follow Alex:</h2><a href="https://my.captivate.fm/www.projectthirtysix.com">Project Thirty-Six</a>Instagram - @alextrevino1989<a href="https://www.redbird.love/">Red Bird Ministries</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

My Personal Testimony

Bishop William McGratton discusses various topics including retirement, unity in the Church, creating belonging and joy, forming missionary disciples, welcoming immigrants, fasting from media, supporting priests and seminarians, and promoting Eucharistic adoration for vocations.
Takeaways
Unity in the Church is important and should be built up rather than attacked.
Creating a sense of belonging and joy in the community is crucial for evangelization.
Forming missionary disciples is a priority, especially among men, to strengthen the Church.
Supporting priests and seminarians is essential for their well-being and the future of the Church.
Promoting Eucharistic adoration can inspire vocations and deepen faith.

A Dram with Bishop McGratton

Fasting is one of the most underrated and underappreciated weapons in our arsenal. Unfortunately, too many of us do not use this tool enough to fight off Satan and his demons. Hey, it may even help you get a 6-pack too! Pretty cool, huh? The Bible and the Catechism tells us fasting, almsgiving, and penance are three main players to increase our spiritual life. If it's good enough to be in the Bible (even Jesus talks about it!) and the Catechism, it is good enough for me!  Keep listening to find out Father Dom's Yeti story, why fasting is beneficial both spiritually and physically, and how we can use this tool to our advantage. Father Dom's Challenge: Figure out a way to implement more fasting into your life. For most of us, fasting from food is our primary fast. If that's the case, intermittent fasting is the way to go! But, some of us need to fast from other things. Sports? Cars? Gambling? Social media? Alcohol? We all struggle in some way and each struggle is an opportunity to give it up to God and grow in virtue! Now, go out there and be a saint men! Thank you to our partners at Hallow!

In this final installation of Wisdom from the Road, Sean once again invites and challenges men of all ages to reach out to their brothers in faith to gain encouragement for the hardships of the journey of life, and to build each other up in building up the Church. He knows we need to share the load with others in order to give and receive strength, courage, and growth in faith.

Friends, what's the proper relationship between liberal democracy and the Catholic Church? Many smart and reflective people, on either side of the Catholic/American divide, have felt that the two systems, democracy and Catholicism, were incompatible. But why? Using the thought of the 19th century French diplomat and political philosopher, Alexis de Tocqueville, Bishop Barron explores this question in his <a href= "https://www.heritage.org/conservatism/event/the-2023-russell-kirk-lecture-featuring-bishop-robert-barron" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "2023 Russell Kirk Lecture - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">2023 Russell Kirk Lecture</a> for the <a href= "https://www.heritage.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "Heritage Foundation - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link= "">Heritage Foundation</a>, titled "The Breakdown of the Tocquevillean Equilibrium."

WOF 426: Democracy and the Catholic Church

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.

A Lion in the Ocean with Bart Schuchts

This week on In Layman's Terms, hosts John Soukup and Bob Sullivan welcome one of the most recognizable voices in Catholic evangelization today: Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers &mdash; widely known as &ldquo;The Dynamic Deacon.&rdquo;
A nationally and internationally known speaker, preacher, and retreat leader, Deacon Harold is respected for his direct, practical, and uncompromising approach to the Catholic faith. In this powerful conversation, he addresses some of the deepest struggles facing men today: purpose, fear, prayer, failure, broken relationships, and spiritual exhaustion.
What does it really mean to discern God's will? Why do so many men fear failure? What should a man do when he feels spiritually stuck or distant from God? And for fathers carrying wounded relationships with their children, where does healing begin?
Listeners will also hear Deacon Harold offer practical guidance for building a disciplined prayer life &mdash; even for men who feel too busy to pray &mdash; and explain why humility, perseverance, and daily faithfulness matter more than perfection.
If you know a man searching for direction, strength, or deeper purpose, this is an episode you'll want to share.
Join us for an honest, challenging, and deeply encouraging conversation this week on In Layman's Terms on the Spirit Catholic Radio network.
In Layman's Terms with co-hosts John Soukup and Bob Sullivan, a show dedicated to empowering Catholic men to live with mission, purpose, and faith. Drawing inspiration from Bob's popular column in the Southern Nebraska Register, each episode dives deep into topics that shape a man's spiritual journey&mdash;virtue, brotherhood, sacrifice, prayer, and the ongoing spiritual battle. With thought-provoking discussions and expert guests, this program is a source of strength and inspiration for men striving to lead meaningful, faith-filled lives&mdash;and for the people who support and love them.

Biblical Foundations for Catholic Beliefs About the Blessed Virgin Mary (William Albrecht) | Ep. 560

Life passes us by so quickly. If we don&#39;t take some time to intentionally check if we&#39;re heading in the right direction, we&#39;re almost destined to end up with results that are wildly different than the ones we had hoped for. In today&#39;s episode, we will reflect on this year so far and see if we are truly creating a life that we will be proud of.

He touches on the struggles of men in today's society by highlighting the rampant moral relativism that has caused seismic alterations in our understanding of marriage and gender. Join us as we dive deep into the trenches of this spiritual battlefield and discuss the critical role of men in both marriage and the priesthood. From the historical patterns of men rising to serve, protect, and defend, to the modern-day rise of Satanism and occultism, our conversation with Deacon Harold is eye-opening. As we navigate through this spiritual warfare, we focus on the power of prayer, and how it serves as an essential armor against the forces of evil. We discuss the common excuses men give for not praying and provide solutions to overcome these hurdles. We wrap up the conversation by emphasizing the importance of brotherhood and fraternity. We underline how strong Catholic men joining hands can lead the way through these tough times. We also dive into the significance of the Lord's Prayer and its role in sparking the fire within our hearts. As we conclude, we remind you that each one of us has a role to play in this spiritual warfare – to step out and be a saint. Join us in this enlightening episode and let's journey together towards a stronger faith. Like what you heard? Maybe you just enjoy reading James’s show notes?

Ep 93 - Combatting the Roaring Lion: A Conversation with Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers

Ryan and James discuss on this episode the Synod on Synodality listening sessions, specifically here at St. Roberts in Ada. According to the USCCB website, the Synod on Synodality: <ul><li>The Synod on Synodality is a two-year process of listening and dialogue beginning with a solemn opening in Rome on October 9 and 10, 2021 with each individual diocese and church celebrating the following week on October 17. The synodal process will conclude in 2023. Pope Francis invites the entire Church to reflect on a theme that is decisive for its life and mission: “It is precisely this path of synodality which God expects of the Church of the third millennium.” This journey, which follows in the wake of the Church’s “renewal” proposed by the Second Vatican Council, is both a gift and a task: by journeying together and reflecting together on the journey that has been made, the Church will be able to learn through Her experience which processes can help Her to live communion, to achieve participation, to open Herself to mission.</li></ul>In short, the Church is inviting lay people to give their input on how the Church can improve in various aspects. In this episode, Ryan and James specifically talk about the topics relating to listening and dialogue in the Church and society and engaging more families. Remember men, our priests, bishops, and the Pope have to answer to Christ, not us.  James' Challenge: Pray specifically for the Holy Spirit to come and guide you every day this week.

Revealing the FACE of God | Fr. Andrew Dalton | Episode #082

Men, ever feel crushed under the weight of chasing more? More money. More stuff, more status? In Day 19 (I know I said 9) of our Lenten Reflections series, we’re tackling St. Joseph as the "Lover of Poverty;" a guy who didn’t just survive with less but thrived in it, guarding the Savior with a hammer and a heart full of trust. This isn’t about hating wealth or going broke; it’s about stripping life down to what counts and letting God fill the gaps. We’ll dive into how Joseph’s simple carpenter life in Nazareth, his flight to Egypt with just the Magi’s gifts, and his offering of two doves at the temple scream reliance on divine providence. Father Calloway calls him dirt-poor, yet St. Francis de Sales saw angels marveling at his humility. Today’s challenge: scan your life, your ambitions, your toys, that extra shift, and pinpoint one thing tying you down. Can you cut it? Sell it? Surrender it to God’s will? Hit play to see how Joseph’s joyful poverty can free you from the grind and refocus you on what lasts.Powerful Quotes<ol><li>"The lover of poverty isn’t about hating stuff or being broke. It’s about loving a life stripped down to what matters, trusting God for the rest."  </li><li>"Joseph shows that loving things less can mean living more for the things that truly matter—free from the grind of riches and what can’t be bought."  </li><li>"What’s keeping you and preventing you from embracing God’s will in your life, from following him? Can you ruthlessly eliminate it?"</li></ol>Surrender one attachment today. Look at what’s clogging your soul—be it a gadget or a goal—and hand it to God; true wealth lies in what rust can’t touch.<a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Day 19 - Why St. Joseph Loved Having Less (And You Can Too)

Why are young men returning to faith in record numbers? In this powerful conversation with Dr. George Weigel, we uncover the surprising reasons behind this growing movement. From the dark pull of internet isolation to the magnetic draw of traditional liturgy, beauty, and real brotherhood, we explore the challenges&mdash;and the hope&mdash;facing a new generation. What if the loneliness epidemic could be cured not with content, but with community? What if the secret to evangelization isn&rsquo;t strategy, but presence?
Packed with insights on reaching men through beauty, liturgy, and one-on-one time, this episode offers a blueprint for building a faith that speaks to modern masculinity. You&rsquo;ll hear stories of parish renewal, movements that are working, and why real friendships rooted in Christ are changing lives. Whether you're a leader, a father, or just someone who cares, this is a call to invite young men into the light.

How To Know When To Cut People From Your Life | Ep 277

Fr. Ken Geraci lived the life of the prodigal son for most of his young adult life. Raised in a nominally Catholic family, who only lived the externals of the faith, Fr. Ken left the Catholic Church for many years. During that time, he earned a business degree and worked as a business professional in Advanced R&amp;D and software testing.  During this journey, God presented him with challenges that forced him to question his personal beliefs and the question, “What is Truth?” Through a series of conversions, years of struggle, study, and questioning, Fr. Ken found his way from agnosticism to non-denominational Christianity, and ultimately back to the Catholic Church. Fr. Ken joined the Fathers of Mercy in 2006 and was ordained in 2012. Fr. Ken has a great understanding of the personal and societal pressures that individuals face and knows what it is like to “hate coming to church.” His mission talks are for people of all levels of faith, from those who are madly in love with Jesus to those who struggle with church and religion.In this episode, Fr. Ken shares the history of his order and discusses the current crisis of manhood. The BeatiDudes joke about Fr. Ken’s understated crucifix before inviting him to judge their comedy woes on “Blessed are the Joke Makers.” As we follow Fr. Ken through the journey of his life, we come to learn of his spiritual gift of healing. This show ends with a deep reflection on the process of healing, along with a healing exercise that all are welcome to join. Fair warning, we told you the BeatiDudes was a blend of humor and holiness, prepare for a big dose of both. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a>joinsolidarity.com <a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The Fathers of Mercy:</h2><a href="https://fathersofmercy.com/">Fathers of Mercy Website</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

Catholic Priest with The GIFT OF HEALING | Fr. Ken Geraci | Episode #013

In today's episode, Bishop Barron fields questions from people all over the world, including: <ul> <li>How do we reconcile love as willing the good of the other with more exclusive love, such as the love between a husband and wife?</li> <li>Some Protestant theologians say that John 6 is not talking about transubstantiation because this dialogue took place before the institution of the Eucharist. What do you think?</li> <li>What does the Catholic Church say about predestination and free will?</li> <li>Why does God need to be worshipped and glorified, and need sacrifices? On human terms, this sounds like his love is conditional and he is insecure.</li> <li>Can dogma be changed or overthrown?</li> <li>Was Jesus a socialist?</li> <li>What are the essential qualities/qualifications needed for evangelism? Degrees or degree program recommendations?</li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bishopbarron">Become a patron</a> and get some great perks for helping, like free books, bonus content, and more.

Today is Easter Monday and Deacon Harold is celebrating with you in the fact that Christ IS Risen. Stories of victory today and a look into the Soulful Psalms of Psalm 148

He is Risen

In his book, Crossing the Threshold of Hope, St. John Paul the Great wrote, "original sin is, above all, an attempt to abolish fatherhood." The attempt to eliminate fatherhood started long ago with Adam and Eve in the garden. It was Satan, the father of lies, who tempted the first father of the human race - Adam - to reject the fatherhood of God.

Ep 15: What was Humanity's First Father Wound?

A basic moral test is how our most vulnerable members are faring. In a society marred by deepening divisions between rich and poor, our tradition recalls the story of the Last Judgment (Mt 25:31-46) and instructs us to put the needs of the poor and vulnerable first. Today Deacon Harold breaks this open and in the Soulful Psalms its more from Psalm 104

Option for the Poor and Vulnerable

Anyone involved in sales knows that the customer is always right.  If this is the case then why did St. Paul seem to bother his customers so profoundly and irk them so regularly?   What was it that St. Paul was proposing that was so earth shattering to his customers?

DGT Episode 57 - Paul's Disturbing Proposition - St. Paul Part 6

Those who die in God's grace and friendship and are perfectly purified live forever with Christ. Deacon Harold elaborates on the glories of Heaven as we continue "The Four Last Things" series and look into Soulful Psalm 84.

The Four Last Things - Heaven

Fr. Mark Garrett joins BeatiDudes Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for a moving, funny, and deeply Catholic conversation about hearing God’s call and answering it with courage. 
Fr. Mark shares life on the road as a nomadic vocation director, offering Mass across the Diocese of Dallas, inviting young men to discern with the Church, and showing up when people suffer. The episode centers on the power of the sacraments: anointing the sick during COVID, blessing workplaces on short notice, and the heart-stopping beauty of fully initiating a newborn into the Church before her short life returned to the Father. Sorrow and joy coexist, and grace is real.
Highlights
•	“Five inches of whoosh” and the Tiny Table full of Tiny Saints.
•	Fr. Mark’s mileage: More than 20k miles in under a year, visiting 50+ parishes. This is ministry on the move.
•	Dallas Catholic boom: youth rooms full, weeknight faith formation, and communities on fire.
•	Vocations 101: The Church discerns with you. You start with your story, not a guarantee.
•	COVID-anointing in real time: when they call, a priest answers, and you prioritize presence over protocols.
•	A newborn fully initiated (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist) and a funeral filled with real joy.

They Call, We Answer: A Vocation Director’s Roadmap | Fr. Mark Garrett | Episode #265

Deacon Harold sheds light on "why women can't be Deacons". Also looking into Soulful Psalm 44:18-20

Why Can’t Women Be Deacons

The Man Who Lost His Head for the Truth is more than a clever title&mdash;it&rsquo;s a piercing reminder of what real conviction looks like. In this stirring talk, Father Deacon Andrew Bennett draws us into the fearless faith of St. Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor who defied a king and paid with his life. With stories pulled from trial transcripts and scenes that echo through Westminster Hall, this video asks the hard questions: What is truth? Who gets to define it? And are we, like More, willing to suffer for it?
From the bloody legacy of Henry VIII&rsquo;s supremacy to today&rsquo;s quiet coercions, this is a bold meditation on what it means to live&mdash;and die&mdash;for the truth. Blending historical drama with deep spiritual insight, the talk is a call to live a public faith in a world that demands silence. Whether you're a student, a professional, or simply a Catholic who&rsquo;s tired of hiding your beliefs, this is your moment to be inspired by a man who was never afraid to say no. &nbsp; | ABOUT HEROIC MEN | Heroic Men strengthens men to become missionary disciples, to bring more men to Jesus Christ.

The Man Who Lost His Head for the Truth | St. Thomas More

EP37 - Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

A lot of people expect leadership to go smoothly and when it doesn’t they think that they have done something wrong.  This can of course be true but is it always this way?  How do we lead in a suffering and tragic situation?  Simon Peter shows us in the Acts of The Apostles - giving us a great example.

DGT Episode 47 - Leading In Time Of Trial - St. Peter Part 10

The feast of Maundy (or Holy) Thursday solemnly commemorates the institution of the Eucharist and is the oldest of the observances peculiar to Holy Week. Holy Thursday was taken up with a succession of ceremonies of a joyful character. the baptism of neophytes, the reconciliation of penitents, the consecration of the holy oils, the washing of the feet, and commemoration of the Blessed Eucharist. Deacon Harold goes deeper into our prep for tomorrow's Holy Day and into the Soulful Psalms with Psalm 88.

Father Dom's Homs: Jesus Christ is Born!

EP40 - Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

In this episode, we explore the inspiring life of Saint Agatha, one of the Church’s most venerated virgin-martyrs. Known for her unwavering faith, heroic virtue, and miraculous intercession, Saint Agatha’s story is a challenge for men today to stand firm in truth, defend purity, and embrace suffering with faith.Key Takeaways:✅ The extraordinary courage of Saint Agatha—how she stood against a corrupt ruler and refused to compromise her faith, even in the face of brutal torture. ✅ The deeper meaning of suffering and sacrifice—how Agatha’s endurance teaches us to embrace trials with faith and perseverance. ✅ Why Saint Agatha’s witness still matters today—and how her life calls men to rise up, defend purity, and stand unwavering in truth.Notable Quotes:🛡️ "I belong to Jesus Christ; He is my hope and salvation." – Saint Agatha 🛡️ "The martyrs teach us that faithfulness to Christ and His Church must take precedence over everything else, even over life itself." – Pope Benedict XVI 🛡️ "Lord, my Creator, You have protected me from my infancy. You have taken me from the love of the world and given me patience to suffer. Receive now my soul." – Saint Agatha’s prayer in the midst of sufferingLessons for Catholic Men:🔥 Be Courageous in Faith: Saint Agatha stood firm against pressure, persecution, and even physical torture. As men, we must ask ourselves: Are we willing to stand firm in our faith, even when it costs us? 🔥 Purity Is Worth Defending: In a culture that distorts and devalues the human body, Agatha’s witness reminds us that we are temples of the Holy Spirit. Men must reject impurity and strive for holiness. 🔥 God Strengthens the Faithful: Agatha’s sufferings were great, yet God did not abandon her. He sent Saint Peter to heal her wounds in prison. This is a reminder that God always provides grace to those who trust in Him.Saint Agatha’s Patronages:Saint Agatha is the patroness of purity, victims of violence, rape survivors, breast cancer patients, wet nurses, and Sicily. She is a powerful intercessor for those facing persecution and those suffering from physical or spiritual wounds.3 Challenges for Men Today:1️⃣ Commit to Purity: Whether single or married, strive to guard your heart and body as a temple of the Holy Spirit.

Sanctifying Saints - The Courage of Saint Agatha – A True Warrior for Christ

Deacon Harold is challenging students today as we bring your one of his LIVE events in a sea of appearances this year. You're invited to join us as he speaks to the students at Springfield Catholic School.

Challenging Students

In the myriads of articles and books written on leadership, it’s astonishing how few times truth is mentioned.  Certainly, there are many reasons for this but that fact that so many feel that truth can be omitted from a conversation on leadership only underscores its importance, especially or Christian leaders.  But for many of us the questions remain: “why is truth important?”, “does truth divide us rather than unite us?”, and if there is a truth how do we come to know it?  Welcome to the first of a series dedicated to these questions?

DGT Episode 341 - The True Good - Leaders In Truth Part 1

What does it take to stand firm in your faith when everyone around you bends? In this soul-stirring address, Father Deacon Andrew Bennett explores the heroic witness of St. John Henry Newman&mdash;a man who chose truth over popularity, conviction over comfort. Through vivid storytelling and powerful exhortation, we see how Newman&rsquo;s unflinching courage still calls us today to live counterculturally. Learn why compromise is the enemy of clarity, and how Newman&rsquo;s spiritual legacy speaks directly to Catholic men striving to live authentic, public faith in an age of confusion. If you&rsquo;ve ever felt pressure to water down your beliefs, this is the call to rise.

The Saint Who Refused to Compromise | St. John Henry Newman

The Holy Spirit is the principle agent of evangelization and it lets Him do the heavy lifting. Today Deacon Harold talks the power of intercessory prayer and takes a look into the Soulful Psalms diving into Psalm 59.

Intercessory Prayer

The Sacramental Life w/ Dr. Scott Hahn

In this podcast, Dr. Phil Chavez joins John Welch in the discussion of how a Beloved Son moves in his marriage. There is a mutual surrender that should take place between spouses. One difficulty is that husbands have a hard time figuring out what to do in the present age. Likely he was not taught; and for many men, they did not grow up with good examples in the home. 

Men know intuitively that they must lead, yet that is often waived in the present age, where they allow their wives to run the household, for the sake of ease. If a man and woman live in relationship first to God, they not only have a basis for how to conduct themselves, but they are more open to God’s plan, the manner He designed things. 

Learn ways as to how relationship with God enables both spouses to have the foundations to relate mutually.

Ep 1: Introducing the 5 Minutes to Impact Mancast

Today Deacon Harold is on the road bring us his dynamic side with a topic of how to be Rich in Mercy from the St. Elizabeth Catholic Church in Hiawatha.

Rich in Mercy

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?  Why are you far from saving me, so far from my words of anguish? O my God, I call by day and you do not answer; I call by night and I find no reprieve. Deacon Harold opens this up as we talks about The Exaltation of the Cross and also looking at Soulful Psalm 93.

The Exaltation of the Cross

Dom delves into the journey of the Magi and the symbolism of the star of Bethlehem. He emphasizes that the Magi represent all nations and the importance of bowing before Jesus. The episode concludes with a call to encounter Jesus and depart from the worldly way of life.Takeaways <ul><li>Epiphany is a celebration of multiple feasts, including the Nativity, the Epiphany, the baptism of the Lord, and the wedding feast at Cana.</li><li>The Magi represent the triumph of the one true God over pagan religions and the gathering of all nations.</li><li>The star of Bethlehem was a powerful angel who guided the Magi to Jesus.</li><li>Encountering Jesus should lead to a departure from the worldly way of life and a commitment to follow His path.</li></ul>Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background00:51 The Meaning of Epiphany02:02 The Church's Response to Pagan Religions03:15 The Importance of the Epiphany04:03 The Journey of the Magi05:02 The Significance of the Magi06:09 The Star of Bethlehem07:39 The Magi as Representatives of All Nations08:09 The Celebration of Epiphany09:47 Herod and the Worldly Realm11:01 The Gifts of the Magi12:01 Bow Before Jesus13:41 Departing Another Way14:40 Conclusion and Call to Action Like what you heard?

&quot;We have the greatest story ever told, the most beauty, the most truth - why is it so hard to bring people into that?&quot; Join us for an inspiring conversation with Anthony D&#39;Ambrosio, filmmaker and storyteller, about reclaiming beauty in Catholic art and culture. As the writer and director of &quot;The Triumph of the Heart,&quot; an upcoming feature film about St. Maximilian Kolbe, Anthony shares his journey from seminary to filmmaking. Our discussion explores: - The crisis of creative expression within Catholic culture and why many artists are drawn away from the Church- How Anthony&#39;s personal suffering led him to a profound connection with St. Maximilian Kolbe- The challenges of making an independent Catholic film outside of Hollywood&#39;s system- The behind-the-scenes story of filming in Poland with limited resources and countless obstacles- Why the Church must reclaim its tradition of storytelling and beauty to reach the next generation- The importance of Catholics supporting faith-based creative projects- How the film explores the lesser-known aspects of Kolbe&#39;s story, focusing on his time with fellow prisoners Anthony offers a unique perspective on how beauty can serve as a powerful evangelization tool in our media-saturated culture. Whether you&#39;re interested in film, Catholic culture, or simply want to support authentic Catholic storytelling, this conversation provides inspiration and practical insights.

Special Announcement - Becoming a Happier Catholic Man 2026

Mother Cabrini was a humble woman who became outstanding not because she was famous, or rich, or powerful, but because she lived out the teachings of Jesus by performing corporal works of mercy with great love and devotion. She gave her life to the service of immigrants, the destitute, and those without hope. She accomplished this with a faith that was vibrant and alive in her heart, responding generously to Christ’s call to love our neighbor as ourselves. Let us follow her example and see Christ in everyone that we meet, especially in the person standing in front of us. Deacon Harold talks about the topic of missionaries today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 99:1-5.

Ep 245 | Are tattoos sinful? | Q&A Episode!

The BeatiDudes welcome Garret Hines, artist, teacher, and
iconographer, for a colorful conversation that flows from camping trips and Make-A-Wish moments to the painstaking beauty of egg tempera icons.
Garret shares his journey from creative burnout to spiritual
renewal through sacred art. He explains the prayerful process behind
"writing" an icon, why traditional techniques still matter, and how
each commissioned piece becomes a custom prayer for its recipient.
Of course, it wouldn’t be The BeatiDudes without Paul Kolker, Nick
Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein detouring into Frodo jokes, Dr Pepper ice cream tastings, and Thor references. You’ll hear about the 24-karat gold halos, the theology embedded in brushstrokes, and the joy of seeing beauty draw people deeper into faith.
If you’ve ever wondered why icons are called “written” instead of
“painted,” or what happens when you mix a prayer with egg yolk and ground stone, this episode will pull back the curtain, or rather, open the window into heaven.
Highlights:
<ul>
 <li>July catch-up: RV camping, Rome adventures, Make-A-Wish magic, and bobblehead promo videos</li>
 <li>Garret's journey: from watercolor experiments to Eastern-style iconography</li>
 <li>Why each icon is a prayer in pigment, not just an image</li>
 <li>How art can help the faithful "see" scripture and the beauty of the faith</li>
</ul>

WOF 277: The Dark Night of the Soul

Deacon Harold shares way for how we can be Making a Gift of Yourself to Others and finds out how you are already doing so.

Making a Gift of Yourself

Michael Acaldo, a Baton Rouge native and national leader with the Society of St Vincent de Paul, joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for an incredibly powerful conversation. The conversation opens with Jeff sharing a deeply personal story about attending the funeral of a five-year-old child, the overwhelming grief and unexpected joy he witnessed in a vibrant, faith-filled parish brimming with large families, and the way that experience sent him home with renewed gratitude for his own children. That vulnerable moment sets the tone for an episode that blends Cajun humor, Catholic culture, and a serious call to serve Christ in the poor.
Michael shares about growing up Catholic in Louisiana, where counties are called parishes and even the alligators feel sacramental. He describes powerful Eucharistic processions from the bayou to the streets of New York City. 
The Dudes dig into the heart of the St Vincent de Paul Society as a spiritual movement rather than just a social service agency. Michael traces the story from St Vincent de Paul and Blessed Frédéric Ozanam to modern free pharmacies, mini-loan programs that free people from predatory lending, and 90,000 Vincentians across 4,000 conferences who are hunting souls by seeing Christ in their neighbors in need. 
Along the way, there are puns about the bayou, improv-style commercials, and the beloved Beatitudes game “Blessed Are the Joke Makers.” Yet, the episode keeps circling back to one core truth: holiness looks like concrete acts of charity, done with humility and joy.

Answering the Call to Serve | Michael Acaldo | Episode #281

Christian leadership like anything else is an art and a science.  Of course, there are many things we can do to increase our influence and to use it at the service of God.  But foundationally there is something out of control in Christian leadership.  Namely, the fact that God will use us as He desires.  This requires that we learn a secret, the secret St. Paul knew so well and that he tells us about in 2 Corinthians 12.  I’d like to help you learn that secret today.

Heroic Marriage Summit (Full Video)

When someone we love dies, there is often an intense emptiness, an utter loneliness that resides deep within us. We struggle to make sense of and fully accept the way we now experience the love of that person in death. We know that they’re still with us in a very real way—in our hearts and memories. Sometimes their presence is so real, that we can still hear their voice; we can still smell their smell; we can still feel the touch of their hand. Our loved ones may not be here in body but they are very much with us in spirit.

Jesus remains with us in Spirit and Truth through the great gift of the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist, which is a constant reminder of how much He loves us.

Deacon Harold opens this up more as we also look at Soulful Psalm 149:1-5
