Hay una “batalla por el alma misma de la familia”. El servicio de un hombre a su familia requiere sacrificios. Greg y Julie Alexander explica que descubrir la verdadera naturaleza del matrimonio transormó su relación y a su familia.

Familia

As deacons, each of us is called to use our particular gifts and personal histories to serve those entrusted to our care—both inside and outside the bounds of our parish. Responding to this call might entail battling—and conquering—those “demons” that want to con¬vince us that we are not good enough to evangelize, as well as those that urge us not to venture out, but to remain “safe” in the confines of the parish. And yet, if we want to image Christ the Servant, we must be willing to stretch ourselves and go outside our comfort zones. Fifteen years before Deacon Michael Oles was ordained, he started volunteering one night a month at the Dorothy Day House, a home¬less shelter in Danbury, Connecticut. It was an unnerving experi¬ence—more difficult than anything he’d encountered in his 20-year Air Force career. More than anything, it was the smell that got him: wet and earthy body odor commingled with unwashed clothes and fear in an open room that housed seventeen twin beds separated by small partitions. The Deacon's chat more today on Beacon of Truth.

Off The Street

In college she was left paralyzed with a broken back after a bus accident involving her swim team from the University of Notre Dame, with two teammates having been killed instantly. After five back operations and being told she wouldn't walk, not to mention swim again, miraculously, she returned to competitive swimming for Notre Dame 21 months after the bus accident and her injury. Her 2008 book, What Though The Odds, details what she went through and her "journey of faith and triumph." She later became Assistant Swim Coach at Xavier College Prep, the all-girls Catholic high school in Phoenix that she had attended. She also talks here about two pilgrimages this and two years ago that she says reignited her faith and commitment to service.

In today’s episode we’ll learn that:
 - We should examine our approach to confession and whether we truly renounce sins or just seek mercy

A recent <a href= "https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/08/05/transubstantiation-eucharist-u-s-catholics/">Pew Research Center study</a> revealed that “just one-third of U.S. Catholics agree with their church that Eucharist is body, blood of Christ.” What’s the cause of this?

Jesus denounces the Pharisees in the Temple for their pride and attention-seeking. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of Counsel from the Holy Spirit so he can remain ever obedient to Christ&apos;s holy priesthood and by growing in the Virtue of Humility so he can reject pride and more fully submit to God&apos;s Will.

How do we avoid the culture of conformity? One of the biggest challenges we face as Catholics is aligning our desires with the truth of the Gospel instead of the culture at large. As Pope St. John Paul II stated, “man is more valuable for what he is than what he has ”. In Episode Two, Andreas Widmer and Luke Burgis lead us to discover why it's important to make intentional choices to conform our life to Christ and the Gospel, instead of defaulting to the ways of others.

Jeremy Robinson is the co-founder and CEO of Cardboard Spaceship, a thriving full-service video production company in Dallas. With decades of experience as a marketing executive, Jeremy's expertise spans the development and execution of successful commercial strategies, marketing initiatives, and operational plans for a diverse array of businesses, ranging from startups to Fortune 1000 companies. Throughout his entrepreneurial journey, he has founded several highly successful companies, collectively generating over $100 million in revenue.Since its inception, Cardboard Spaceship has forged strong partnerships with the world's leading ad agencies, including WPP, Omnicom, and Publicis, while developing content for esteemed brands like Mercedes, Google, IBM, Canon, Gillette, Marriott, American Airlines, and many more. Cardboard Spaceship continues to push the boundaries of video production, marrying imagination with sophistication to deliver unparalleled visual experiences that captivate audiences across the globe.As a father of two, Jeremy starts the show by reflecting on fatherhood and the impact of modeling virtue. Then the Dudes dive into Jeremy’s spiritual journey covering several religious traditions and a fun story of his own ordination as a minister prior to coming into communion with the Catholic church. In 2014, Jeremy faced a spiritual crisis in his journey that was centered around 1 Peter 3:15. He wanted to always be able to give a defense of his faith to anybody at any time and decided to take on the antithesis of his own arguments as part of this study. During the proceeding years, God placed several men in Jeremy’s life that helped to form him for the next step, including Bishop Robert Baron in the Great God Debates series. Jeremy completed RCIA and entered the church on the Easter vigil in 2022.After a spiritually powerful start to the show, the Dudes compete on Blessed are the Joke Makers using the persona of a Sour School Teach to address the prompt, “Youth ministers love talking about _____.”After the break, Jeremy shares the fascinating story of his company’s rebrand efforts to land on the new name Cardboard Spaceship. This episode’s TBD question asks the Dudes and Jeremy to reflect on a time when each person was faced with a fight or flight moment, and they chose to run away. This week’s Reverse Simpsons is a special Silly Soda Sampler challenge in which Jeff presents Jeremy, Paul, and Nick with 3 very interesting food-flavored drinks to see if they can collectively determine each one. <h2>More on Jeremy</h2><a href="https://cardboard-spaceship.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cardboard Spaceship</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Pencil Bureau</a>

The GREAT GOD Debates that Lead to Conversion | Jeremy Robinson | Episode #035

Fr. Kevin Kolker, the youngest of four siblings, including The BeatiDude's very own Paul Kolker, shares a reflection on his first year of priesthood. He describes the first year as drinking from the firehose of the Living Water. As the Parochial Vicar at Christ the King Catholic Church in the Diocese of Dallas, Fr. Kevin has loved the opportunity to serve his flock in the sacraments. His description of daily life as a diocesan priest is full of joy and gratitude, especially when describing the opportunities to visit the sick, hear confessions, and pray over the dying. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a> BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Pencil Bureau</a>

Drinking from the Firehose of the Living Water: Reflection from a Priest’s First Year | Fr. Kevin Kolker | Episode #110

But in today’s episode, Bishop Barron talks about Tolkien’s Catholic faith, which was mostly absent in the new film, but critical to his upbringing and his stories of Middle-earth.

WOF 181: J.R.R. Tolkien, Master Evangelist

Friends, today we share a talk I recently gave to the service men and women at the United State Air Force Academy. After previously speaking at the <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBgmZdM0IKg" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Naval Academy</a> about three sailors from the Bible, then at <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFsvWeam01o" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">West Point</a> about three soldiers from the Old Testament, I wondered, what should I speak of to the Air Force Academy? What came to me was the angels, those famous fliers in the pages of the Bible. I told the Air Force men and women that they are flyers, too, and so they should consider the angelic realm, the realm of pure spirits, those who fly into the very presence of God, becoming radiant by contact with him. I encouraged them to join the angels in flight, trust their life to a higher power, and become a person of right praise.

Friends, today we continue our "Word on Fire Show" series on how to understand Genesis by focusing on Jacob, the son of Isaac and a patriarch of the ancient Jews. How should we understand his early struggle with Esau, the famous "Jacob's ladder," and his mysterious wrestling match and name change? That's what we discuss today. A listener asks, why is it that we just got this information from God, from the Bible, only 2,000 years ago? What happened to all those people who lived before the Bible?

Case #05 - All In Your Head - Pt. 2

Guest - Jimmy Sagers

Today Sam and John discuss desk job burnout, depression, knife making, Poland and Ukraine, and finding God's will at work with award-winning blacksmith Leszek Sikon. Leszek's journey to the life of blacksmithing is filled with acceptance and growing in unity with God's will. We also spend time talking about knives and the artistry behind wielding the forge.Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lsikonblacksmithSite - https://www.lsikonblacksmith.comEating Tools - https://www.eatingtools.com-- PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE CATHOLIC GENTLEMAN --https://www.patreon.com/catholicgentlemanLeszek Sikon - Originally from Poland, Leszek came to the UK 17 years ago. He earned a decent living as a middle manager in retail yet this career left me feeling wholly unfulfilled. Leszek knew that he wanted to create something that would last. He was used to getting dirty and working with his hands – so he was thrilled to learn that Hereford College of Arts ran a blacksmithing course. The next thing he knew, he quit his job and started training.Since then he has found his passion in producing a series of superb artisan tools and knives, using age-old skills to produce modern objects of desire. His inspiration comes from the history and the traditional methods, getting to grips with hammers, tongs, and fire. Having these skills has paid off more than a career in retail ever would.

From Desk Job Burnout to the Life of a Blacksmith

Today we’re talking about the virtue of perseverance. Our Christian walk requires more than a mountaintop moment of accepting Christ and then moving on. We’ve got to pick up the Cross and carry it daily, no matter what hardships or disappointments we face.

In this podcast, we discuss:
- Those who persevere in faith will be blessed with God’s grace.
- Keeping marriages and families together isn’t always easy, but it brings long-term rewards.
- Perseverance prioritizes fidelity over fleeting feelings.

Why Keep Going?

Why The Rescue Project?

We passionately believe that the most urgent task is the compelling proclamation of the gospel, one that not only shares it in an attractive – and concentrated – way, but that also offers people a way of seeing reality, and of making sense of the world, history, and life that is vastly different from the story our modern culture tells.

Until this happens, the Christian faith is often experienced as a mere set of rules and disciplines, and simply going to Church isn’t likely to lead a person to embark on the great adventure that is following Jesus and continuing His mission of the rescuing of this world.  We don’t think most people have ever heard the gospel.

What is The Rescue Project?

The Rescue Project seeks to proclaim the gospel in a compelling and attractive way over eight weeks in a small group format. This experience is imbued with beauty, authentic humanity, and accompaniment.

Oh, and by the way it’s free!

We are enslaved by our attachments to this world. But the world REJECTED Christ. 
How could we love both Jesus and the world if they oppose each other? 
The world and Jesus just don't mesh. 

We must choose to submit ourselves FULLY to Jesus and “take nothing with us” like the true disciples we are made to be.

This Secret-Sauce-Episode includes spicy content about:

- Elijah's abandonment  
- What it means to ~actually~ follow Jesus
- The 5 checks to being a disciple in daily life

Tim notes in this chapter that the end goal should be lay people operating creatively on their own. This vision can sometimes be a scary thought to parish leaders, but Tim further discusses why it is vital for your parish to become vibrant.

Today we’re talking about that aching feeling that nothing’s ever enough — not the house, the car or the career. These moments arise when we expect the wrong things to bring us joy. In his book “Remade for Happiness,” Bishop Fulton Sheen explains that external gifts such as wealth or fame bring temporary pleasure, but eternal happiness can only be found by building a close relationship with God.

In this podcast, we learn that:
- Fixating on material possessions or job success creates distractions and disappointment.
- We should look for the breadcrumbs that lead us back to God.
- It’s not what you get in life, but what you give.

Why Is It Never Enough?

A lot of people differentiate between Joy, Happiness, and Beatitude. So it can be helpful to define and understand these terms.

A Protestant Composer Explores Christian History and Becomes Catholic

Today John and Sam are joined by a Knight of the Holy Eucharist, Br. Angelo, to discuss the crisis of men losing their faith in the Eucharist. This is a problem that goes to the very depths of our Faith and is a non-negotiable teaching of Catholicism. Still, we find the majority of Catholic men not understanding or even believing in Christ's real presence in the Eucharist. With the help of Our Lady, we seek to correct this error and show men a way to deepen their understanding and ultimate love of Christ.To Learn More about the Knights of the Holy Eucharist:Website: <a href="http://knights.org/">Knights.org </a>YouTube Page: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/HolyEucharistKnights">https://www.youtube.com/user/HolyEucharistKnights</a>🔴 The Catholic Gentleman On PatreonJoin the movement of The Catholic Gentleman by supporting us and getting incredible gifts as a thank you for your support: https://patreon.com/catholicgentleman Learn more about your ad choices.

Jeff Joaquin, a That Man Is You! core team leader for well over a decade, shares his story of wounds and healing – ultimately, a story of God’s unfathomable mercy. One of the most stunning and talked about TMIY episodes My Son, Jonathan will no doubt leave you in silence.

Jeff’s vulnerability and openness to share his story in service to the Lord was the foundation for the Setting Captives Free Series.  Join Jeff Joaquin and Mark Hartfiel for an 8-episode series on sin, mercy, and healing.

In today's episode we chat with Thomas about Mary, and whether or not it's appropriate to call her the Mother of God (instead of the Mother of Jesus or something).

Ryan Bethea is a producer, writer, host and creator of the world-wide #1 hit podcast, The Exorcist Files.﻿Websites: <a href="https://ryanbethea.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ryanbethea.com/</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.exorcistfiles.tv/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.exorcistfiles.tv/</a>&nbsp;_CLARIFICATION:&nbsp;In this episode Fr Angelus, (Deacon Charlie’s brother) is described as an exorcist.&nbsp;&nbsp;While Fr Angelus has been formally trained in, and for, the ministry of deliverance and exorcism, and is very active in this ministry, he is not a “mandated” exorcist. Since the term “exorcist” is generally understood as the title for a priest who has been formally&nbsp;mandated&nbsp;by his Bishop, we just wanted to clear this up, in respect to Fr Angelus’ current status. Finally, we ask that you please keep Fr Angelus in your prayers; that God continue to use him as an instrument of deliverance for God’s most spiritually afflicted children as His holy will ordains.&nbsp;

Covenant relationship means making a complete gift of yourself to another in an outpouring of life-giving love; it is a relationship of sacrifice centered in love of God and love of our brothers and sisters made in God's image and likeness.  Deacon Harold expands on this for Word of God Wednesday. Also, Looking into Soulful Psalm 86.

Why an Oxford Student Studied Church History and Became a Catholic Christian | Conversion Testimony

All leadership implies power but does power explain what leadership is?  From a Catholic perspective leadership requires principle.  Saul Alinsky would disagree.  In Chapter 6 of his book, “Rules For Radicals”, Alinsky lays out a very powerful description of leadership without principle.  What does the Christian have to say in response?
