Guarding the Intellect from Isaiah the Solitary

Wisdom isn&rsquo;t about how smart you are&mdash;it&rsquo;s about how surrendered you are. In Chapter Seven: Wisdom, Father Larry unpacks what it truly means to see the world through God&rsquo;s eyes and live according to His will. Real wisdom, he says, isn&rsquo;t political. It isn&rsquo;t macho. And it&rsquo;s definitely not self-centered. It&rsquo;s living like Jesus, who emptied Himself, took the form of a slave, and obeyed the Father&mdash;even to death.&nbsp;<a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Chapter 9: Holy dives deep into the soul-level challenge every man faces: Will you be holy&mdash;or not? In this firebrand chapter, Father Larry lays out the high stakes with no sugarcoating: you either become a saint, or you go to hell. There is no middle ground. Drawing from scripture, Church tradition, and hard-earned pastoral wisdom, he rips through lukewarm excuses and invites men into a life of radical holiness. But what does that mean? It&rsquo;s not about being perfect or self-righteous&mdash;it&rsquo;s about being set apart, aligned with God's will, and living a life that says "Thy will be done" for real. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

How We Know God is Listening

Ever feel like your brain is juggling ten thoughts at once–while also trying to remember where you left your keys? Father Dave and Deacon Bob chat about the wild, wonderful world of ADHD–the struggles, the strengths, and how it can be gift in disguise.
In this episode, Deacon Bob discusses his recent ADHD diagnosis and how it has transformed his approach to life, work, and faith. With insights from the book ADHD Is Awesome: A Guide to Mostly Thriving with ADHD, the hosts explore how accepting ADHD quirks can boost creativity. This acceptance can also lead to deeper spiritual growth and a lot of joyful chaos.
Of course, no episode is complete without a bit of world news, sports, and history. Father Dave and Deacon Bob discuss the electric energy of the Copa América, the Euro Cup, and the touching return of Princess Kate to public life at Wimbledon.
They also commemorate the 800 anniversary of St. Francis of Assisi receiving the stigmata–because if there’s one saint who fully embodied divine intensity, it’s Francis. The conversation turns to the prophetic voice of Pope Paul VI and the urgent need for unity and prayer in the wake of the attack on former President Donald Trump.
And because ADHD means jumping between topics is inevitable, they also invite listeners to engage with the Jubilee Year of Hope, reflecting on its spiritual significance, and the transformative power of pilgrimage.
From indulgences to the upcoming Eucharistic Congress, this episode is a heartfelt exploration of hope, unity, and the enduring strength found in community and faith.
