I was baptized Lutheran by my Lutheran mother and Baptist father before being sent to a Methodist preschool. In kindergarten, I was sent to a Catholic school. Eight years later, I chose to become Catholic and was confirmed in the faith.&nbsp;
I was only 13 when I became Catholic, so it was more of an emotional decision. I was moving toward what seemed more familiar. However, when I was in college, I decided to do a full evaluation of the Catholic faith. If I was going to be Catholic, I needed to know why.&nbsp;
Should we base our faith on Scripture alone? Should Church history matter? What is God's will in all of this?&nbsp;
In today's podcast, I explain the top reasons as to why I choose to be Catholic instead of Protestant.&nbsp;
This is part one. Stay tuned for part two coming out next week!&nbsp;

Ep 112 | Catholic vs. Protestant: Why Am I Catholic?

Episode 199: What Could I Possibly Have to Offer Jesus? 

This week John dives into our feeling of having nothing to offer. Jesus fed the 5000 with just a few loaves of bread that a boy offered, so why do we doubt what he can do with us? You were born for a REASON! Listen to this episode to find out how to live into that reason! 

In this episode, John points out:

- The devil tells you to “sit back down” and discount your gifts
- A “yes” to Jesus leads to abundance
- Living in the scriptures is CRUCIAL
- You gotta quit thinking about your poverty.

What Could I Possibly Have To Offer Jesus?

Two young saints, one who loved mountaineering and the other rocked Nike sneakers: Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati prove holiness doesn’t mean leaving normal life behind—it means living it to the fullest with Christ. 

Father Dave and Deacon Bob reflect on Pope Leo’s homily at the canonization Mass for these two young Italians and explore why so many saints begin saying yes to God in their youth. 
True to They That Hope form, they take a lap through the weekend in sports, from NFL openers to U.S. Open storylines to the eternal LeBron vs. Jordan debate. Then they settle into the title’s theme: modern sanctity. Carlo’s wisdom (“In front of the sun you get a tan; in front of the Eucharist, you become a saint”) and Frassati’s cry “to the heights!” frame a simple invitation: say yes to the Lord today. 
They close with campus updates, a prayer, and a warm invitation to share your favorite podcast memories. Saints Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati, pray for us!

Saints for Our Time

Recording on the move along the Adriatic, the guys sit down in Italy with their spiritual guide and friend Fr. Stuart Crevecour to talk about Eucharistic adoration—what it is, why it matters, and how to begin. From stories of Eucharistic miracles in Cascia and Orvieto to practical advice for dads bringing kids to the chapel, this episode explores how adoration “holds a moment of the Mass” so Christ can transform our week. Along the way: pilgrimage anecdotes, incorrupt saints, and a few dad-joke detours.<h2>Segment Guide</h2>On the Road (and Sea): Why This Episode Is DifferentFirst-ever episode recorded in transit—pilgrimage vibes, College GameDay energy, and what a Jubilee year in Italy feels like.Eucharistic Miracles: From Casual Irreverence to Deep ConversionThe bleeding breviary in Cascia and the miracle preserved in Orvieto become cautionary tales—and catalysts—for reverence and faith.What Adoration Is (and Isn’t)Fr. Stuart offers a simple frame: adoration as a moment of the Mass held in contemplation—the elevation “stretched” so we can gaze and be changed.Does It Really Do Anything? Why GoFrom “just try it” to “I can’t live without my hour,” we hear how steady time before the monstrance re-centers a life and renews prayer.Awkward at First: How to Start a Holy HourBring a rosary or a good spiritual book. Expect silence to feel long. Keep going. Over time, conversation gives way to presence.Spiritual Communion: When You Can’t ReceiveMaking a spiritual communion at home or in church keeps us oriented toward the tabernacle—especially helpful in seasons of waiting or constraint.Benediction: A Different Kind of BlessingWhy the blessing at the end of adoration is unique: you’re being blessed by Christ himself, truly present in the Host.Family Adoration (Without the Panic)Practical ideas: parish “family holy hours,” short come-and-go windows, and training kids gently in reverence (yes, even page-turning).If Your Parish Doesn’t Have AdorationHow to ask your pastor for a weekly hour or occasional exposition—and ways laity can help make it happen.From Medieval Piety to Today’s RenewalHow devotion blossomed after Corpus Christi and grew again in recent decades—feeding vocations, parish life, and personal holiness.<h2>Key Takeaways</h2><ul><li>Adoration deepens Communion. It doesn’t replace the Mass; it disposes us to receive the Eucharist more fruitfully.</li><li>Start small, stay steady. Twenty minutes grows into an hour; over time, you won’t want to miss it.</li><li>Bring the kids. Create kid-friendly windows or family hours; let children encounter Jesus and learn chapel habits gradually.</li><li>Spiritual communion matters. If you can’t receive sacramentally, orient yourself to the tabernacle and keep showing up.</li><li>Benediction blesses uniquely. The blessing is given with Christ himself, not merely by the priest.</li></ul> <h2>Memorable Lines</h2><ul><li>“Adoration is a moment of the Mass held in contemplation.”</li><li>“You can’t outgive the Lord—show up and let Him do the work.”</li><li>“Hang out with Jesus often; we become like the people we’re with.”</li><li>“Correct the [Eucharistic] abuses, but don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater.”</li></ul> <h2>How to Begin a Holy Hour (Simple Plan)</h2><ol><li>Arrive and acknowledge: a slow Sign of the Cross; “Lord, I’m here.”</li><li>Read briefly (5–10 min): a Gospel passage or trusted spiritual classic.</li><li>Pray a decade or the whole Rosary.</li><li>Rest in silence: “I look at Him and He looks at me.”</li><li>Finish with gratitude and one concrete resolution for the week.</li></ol> <h2>Resources &amp; Places Mentioned</h2><ul><li>Basilica of St. Rita of Cascia (Eucharistic miracle)</li><li>Orvieto (miracle tied to the Feast of Corpus Christi)</li><li>Sacré-Cœur, Paris (longstanding perpetual adoration)</li><li>St. Thomas Aquinas (Eucharistic hymns for Corpus Christi)</li><li>St. John Vianney (on simple adoration)</li><li>St. John Paul II (modern renewal of adoration)</li><li>St. Peter Julian Eymard (19th-century apostle of the Eucharist)</li></ul> <h2>For Dads &amp; Grandfathers</h2><ul><li>Keep expectations age-appropriate. Five or ten minutes is a win.</li><li>Prep gently before you enter; debrief after with hot chocolate or a donut.</li><li>Rotate one-on-one holy hours so each child sees Dad pray</li></ul> <h2>Listener Challenge</h2>Commit to one adoration visit this week. If your parish lacks exposition, pray before the tabernacle—or make a daily spiritual communion at home, oriented toward your parish church.

Dumped for Seminary! | CANDID

On today’s podcast, we’re talking about the benefits of joining a Catholic men’s group in your parish or diocese. Most guys tell me they want to be better men, husbands, and fathers and I’ve learned that we can’t do it alone. We need community. Participation in men’s groups help us beat feelings of isolation and loneliness. They’re places where we can share our struggles as husbands and fathers, support others during setbacks and celebrate spiritual growth.

On this podcast, we learn that:
 - Isolation often breeds self-oriented behaviors, such as addiction to drugs, alcohol, or porn.
 - The right men’s group provides a place to be seen, loved, and heard.
 - A strong brotherhood fosters accountability and encouragement.

An Intentional Season of Silence

There are a plethora of books and articles written about leadership today.  But most of them focus on leadership as if it were an individual enterprise – almost like something the leader does in a vacuum.  In fact, however, leadership requires leading others which means our relationship with others and ability to get them to join our cause is at the heart of what we’re doing.  Does our faith in Christ give us an advantage here?  How does a Christian leader form a team and motivate them to give the very best of themselves.

DGT Episode 212 - Passing On The Spirit - AUDEO Part 10

Maintaining Peace

In this conversation, Sean Lynn and Ron Huntley discuss the importance of church structure, leadership, and community engagement in fostering a healthy parish environment. They explore the challenges of communication within the church, the need for a common language in evangelization, and the significance of building relationships to effectively reach out to others. Ron shares insights on assessing parish health and the role of collaboration in achieving a unified mission. The discussion also touches on personal reflections about faith and the example of St. Joseph as a model of strength and silence in leadership.

A Dram With Ron Huntley

All of us want to be influential in our lives.  We want to be successful parents, great business leaders, powerful leaders in our community and we know that all of our influence flows from our actions and all of our actions flow from our intentions and desires.  But intentions are not good enough.  Great leaders know how to build on good intentions and make effective plans to really hit the mark.  Our Catholic faith shows us this in many ways and our faith can provide a priceless tool as we fight for vision.

95: Why does every atheist misunderstand your 5 proofs for God's existence?

Father Kenneth LeBlanc shares his journey to priesthood and the importance of faith, community, and accompaniment. He emphasizes the need for intentional formation and discipleship, and the role of nature in evangelization. Father LeBlanc also highlights the significance of authentic friendship and brotherhood among priests. He encourages young men to be open to God&#39;s call and to take steps towards discernment. He shares a powerful story of how the Holy Spirit worked through him in a moment of grief and brought peace to a family.

A Dram With Fr Kenneth LeBlanc

Happy New Year! At least that's what we all want it to be. Many of us, though, fail in our resolutions and quit before we even get started. Ever wonder why? We listen to the wrong voice, that's why. The one that shows up to convict you of your mistakes and throws your past failures in your face. That voice is the voice of the Evil One. So how do we move past it and start moving forward? By "forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead." ( Phil 3:13) Listen in this week as John and Victor turn to St. Paul, St Augustine, and Our Lord Jesus Christ for their advice on how to live in the present and look forward to the new year with hope. 

In this episode, John and Victor discuss:

- Spiritual Warfare
- Listening to the right voice
 - What St. Paul, St Augustine, and Jesus have to say about the New Year
- 4 steps to take to win the battle and move forward with courage in your resolutions

Haitian Zombies, Demonic Attacks & Voodoo's Curse (Fr. Louis Merosne) | Ep. 473

We’re talking about why we should learn to forgive. Forgiving others is one of the more difficult virtues Jesus asks us to practice. Forgiveness does not mean that we overlook a person’s lies or bad behavior. Rather, we let go of the hurt to live a peaceful, joy-filled life. Holding on to past wounds makes us bitter and gives others power over our lives. As St. Augustine famously said, “Resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.”

In this podcast, we learn that:
 - If we’ve been hurt, we can pray for a forgiving heart.
 - Practicing forgiveness doesn’t give others a pass — it gives you peace.
 - God will help us heal our wounds if we ask for strength and guidance.

Why Should I Forgive?

Grab a seat in the pew as John and guest host Deacon Jeff Drzycimski (The Catholic Cafe)discuss the importance of establishing relationships prior to evangelization

Relationships

Hey everybody!! We are living in times of countless self-help books, proud independence, and accomplishing as much as we can (as quickly as we can). The world is preaching productivity, but “self-reliance” comes with the FALSE PROMISE of control that ultimately leaves us weary and restless.

In this episode listen to Victor and I talk about:
- Letting go of the steering wheel 
- Productivity vs. Fruitfulness 
- Abiding in God in order to depend on God.
- The Holy Spirit demanding hugs

The Trap Of Self-Reliance

Ministry is not a career…or at least…it shouldn’t be. However, ministry does demand professionalism in both approach and exercise. What does this mean? This talk invites the viewer to assess their own ministry behavior and re-examine the high standards set by the history of professional ministry throughout time. Learn more at https://osvtalks.com/ 

The Subtle Deterioration of True Professionalism with Jason Deuterman

The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone.

In this episode, John and Victor talk about the deep need we all have for spiritual friendships—and why trying to follow Jesus without community leaves us vulnerable to isolation, temptation, and burnout.

They share personal stories of how God used brotherhood to strengthen them in their darkest moments, and how real transformation happens when we walk with others who know us, challenge us, and love us enough to tell us the truth. Because, we really do need each other.

You weren’t meant to carry it all alone. If you’ve been going through the motions or trying to handle everything yourself, this episode is your invitation to open up, reach out, and walk together.

We Need Each Other

Whether there is a Purgatory after this life? Objection 1. It would seem that there is not a Purgatory after this life. For it is said (Apocalypse 14:13): "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. From henceforth now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors." Therefore after this life no cleansing labor awaits those who die in the Lord, nor those who do not die in the Lord, since they cannot be cleansed. Therefore there is no Purgatory after this life. Reply to Objection 1. The authority quoted is speaking of the labor of working for merit, and not of the labor of suffering to be cleansed. It is said (2 Maccabees 12:46): "It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins." Now there is no need to pray for the dead who are in heaven, for they are in no need; nor again for those who are in hell, because they cannot be loosed from sins. Therefore after this life, there are some not yet loosed from sins, who can be loosed therefrom; and the like have charity, without which sins cannot be loosed, for "charity covereth all sins" [Proverbs 10:12]. Hence they will not be consigned to everlasting death, since "he that liveth and believeth in Me, shall not die for ever" [John 11:26]: nor will they obtain glory without being cleansed, because nothing unclean shall obtain it, as stated in the last chapter of the Apocalypse (verse 14). Therefore some kind of cleansing remains after this life. ST. Appendix 2. A 1.

In today’s episode, Sean introduces his friends to a dram of Bruichladdich Islay Whiskey.
The origins of Mckinnon is from the Isle of Sky so Sean apologizes for not having any Talisker nor does he have any French Whiskey like Glann ar Mor from Brittany France or Sortilege from Quebec. &nbsp;Undaunted, da boys join him with a brew. &nbsp;But nothing strange.
Both these young men are Calgarians though Mike chased his wife there from Halifax. &nbsp;Hear what these inspiring men are doing to build up the Kingdom of God and how you can easily do the same for the men in you part of the world. &nbsp;&nbsp;Inspired by <a href="https://www.archspm.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/INTO-THE-BREACH-ROMAN-CATHOLIC-DIOCESE-OF-PHOENIX.pdf">Into the Breach</a> and the call to battle therein, Mike and Phil are part of “Repairers of the Breach” a group of men who meet to provide an opportunity for steel to sharpen steel. &nbsp;Hear them speak of the importance of not being a lone wolf while navigating the seas of marriage and family.
Not having your posse there when death comes is a kick in the gut as Sean recounts in one of his stories.
The Boys Night Out is still alive and well in this society and these men have countered it with their version of Men’s Night Out to bring men out of boyhood into manhood. #CatholicYYC #GodSquad #IntoTheBreach

Rob shares the origin of the WiLD Leaders washer symbol and a powerful “generational loop” story that began with his parents and found unexpected completion through his trips to India. 
The Dudes trade formative childhood moments and what they learned about resilience, agency, and identity. Rob explains how a Halo map and a rocket launcher inspired a real-world assessment platform that highlights the metrics that drive behavior and build leaders. The conversation takes many twists and turns, including jaunts into vulnerability, the costs of public leadership, melodic metal, video game soundtracks at the gym, and the hope that sits right on the edge of despair. Along the way, you will catch movie trailers that never were, a Scooby-Doo villain named Mr. Parrot, and a Pac-Man sprint set to Final Fantasy.

The Three Keys w/ Fr. James Mallon

In this week&#39;s episode of Catholic ReCon, testimonies from reverts and converts, guest John Edwards of Just a Guy in the Pew Ministries shares his heartbreaking story. In the end, he shows that redemption is possible against all odds. Praise God!
 
▶From John&#39;s site:
&quot;Like so many men, I vowed to be a better person, husband and father time and time again. It wasn’t until I felt the presence of Jesus as I walked out of a jail cell that I realized how much I wanted to change and how I could only do that with His help. Since that time, I’ve taken a journey to grow closer to Christ. I invite other Catholic men to accompany me as we follow the path God has set before us.&quot;

Today's guest is Fr. Paul Scalia, the Vicar General of the Diocese of Arlington. Fr. Scalia shares his testimony and a bit about growing up with his father, Antonin Scalia. He talks about his calling into the priesthood and what it's like to be a priest for such a young diocese.

- Detachment from our idols
- Avoiding Hell vs. aiming for Heaven

LENTEN SPECIAL: In-depth Sunday Mass Prep for Sunday February 26 with Matthew and Mike

10 combat tours. 4,000 soldiers brought home alive. One daughter&rsquo;s cry for help &mdash; and suddenly, the battlefield was home. In this gripping episode of Heroic Stories, former Army Special Forces officer Sean Berg opens up about the wars he fought overseas &mdash; and the one he never saw coming: watching his teenage daughter spiral into a mental health crisis that nearly took her life.
From running combat missions in Afghanistan to holding his daughter after a suicide attempt, Sean shares the raw, unfiltered truth about masculinity, helplessness, faith, and the power of choosing family over career. What happens when a warrior trained for every scenario faces one he can&rsquo;t control? How do you hold onto your faith when everything seems lost? And what does it mean to live a life of purpose when your past identity no longer fits?
This is not just a story of survival &mdash; it&rsquo;s a story of surrender, redemption, and a father&rsquo;s decision to fight the right war. For every man who&rsquo;s ever felt broken, overwhelmed, or unsure how to lead &mdash; this conversation is a map home.

Ep 235 | Don't let them discourage you

<h2>Tornado Watches, Snakes, and the Holy Spirit</h2><ul><li>Tornado Watch Context: Hosts record during a tornado watch in Tulsa, Oklahoma, joking about their indifference to watches (less severe than warnings) and the confusing terminology.</li><li>David humorously claims to become a "seasoned meteorologist" each spring, sensing storms "in his bones" and using terms like "hook echo".</li><li>Brief tangent on Ralph Nader, who ran for president (circa 2000, Bush vs. Gore) and claimed never to have eaten McDonald’s, deemed unbelievable at the time due to McDonald’s ubiquity and lack of stigma.</li></ul> <h2>Main Discussion</h2><h3>Minihan Household Adventures</h3><ul><li>Possum Incident: While Adam was away, his wife Haylee killed a possum in their chicken coop with a .44 Magnum (jokingly exaggerated), impressing Adam via text.</li><li>Snake in the House: Upon returning from a trip, Adam’s family found a large snake (not a rat snake, possibly a king snake) in their home.</li><li>A child’s blood-curdling scream alerted Haylee; Adam initially deferred to her but helped after learning of the snake.</li><li>Snake was fast, striking, and required corralling kids into a closet for safety; Adam trapped it using a box and cardboard, later regretting not feeding it to their seven roosters.</li><li>Diocesan Rat Snake Story: Adam recalls handling a 5+ foot rat snake at the Diocese of Tulsa early in his job, earning awe from coworkers and a social media post.</li></ul> <h3>Nashville Recording Mishaps</h3><ul><li>Forgotten Suit Pants: At a black-tie event in Nashville with Fr. Mike Schmitz, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Harrison Butker, David forgot his patterned suit pants, non-replaceable due to the unique design.</li><li>Father-in-law Dan O’Brien and Jim Spencer overnighted them via UPS, arriving 45 minutes before recording.</li><li>Equipment Failure: Their recording case’s main power supply cord was severed in transit, requiring significant pivoting.</li><li>David predicted the need to “pivot” before the trip, likening their adaptability to NBA players; the weekend involved constant problem-solving but was ultimately fun.</li></ul> <h3>Catholic Radio Station Launch</h3><ul><li>McAlester Station: David and Adam helped launch 90.9 FM in McAlester, Oklahoma, a full-power Catholic radio station built on a shoestring budget.</li><li>Located on parish grounds (no studio costs, using existing internet/power), it reaches McAlester’s community, including three correctional facilities (e.g., “Big Mac” maximum security prison).</li><li>Launched on the Feast of the Ascension (moved to Sunday in Tulsa’s mission diocese), aligning with the Great Commission to evangelize.</li><li>Aims to evangelize incarcerated individuals without the red tape of prison ministry; David gave a speech post-Mass, nearly upstaged by Adam’s readiness to intervene.</li><li>Prayer request for the station’s success.</li></ul> <h3>Eucharistic Procession in Tulsa</h3><ul><li>National Eucharistic Procession Stop: Tulsa hosted a stop in the nationwide procession, attended by 500–800 people (David’s estimate).</li><li>Counter-evangelists (not protesters) with megaphones followed the procession, slandering the Church; persistent but civil, they lacked goodwill due to rudeness.</li><li>Police (not necessarily Catholic) found them annoying; hosts advise listeners to prepare for similar disruptions at other stops.</li><li>Defense of Faith Question: David ponders if modern Christians are too pacifist compared to Crusade-era defense of faith, citing G.K. Chesterton’s The Ball and the Cross (an atheist’s slander of Mary prompts a Catholic to challenge him to a duel).</li><li>Asks Adam if the pendulum has swung too far from defending honor; discussion deferred to post-break.</li></ul> <h2>Break 1: Pilgrimage Sponsor</h2><ul><li>Select International Tours: Leading pilgrimages for 34 years with top guides and hotels. Visit selectinternationaltours.com for details.</li></ul> <h2>Second Segment: Defense of Faith and Holy Spirit Introduction</h2><ul><li>Defense of Faith (Continued):</li><li>Adam rejects pacifism as un-Christian but also opposes militancy (e.g., raiding abortion clinics); struggles with nuance of defending honor, especially for Our Lady vs. personal family.</li><li>Honor culture’s decline reduces cultural awareness of slander’s gravity; suggests a “shortsword” or “backhand glove” metaphorically, emphasizing prudence and charity in response.</li><li>No clear answer but encourages pondering the balance between passivity and aggression.</li><li>Holy Spirit Topic Introduction: With Pentecost approaching, David aims to explore the Holy Spirit’s role, often the least discussed Trinity person, using the Catechism.</li><li>St. Paul: Can’t say “Jesus is Lord” without the Holy Spirit; knowledge of the Father and Son depends on the Spirit.</li><li>Catechism (quoting St. Gregory of Nazianzus): Trinity’s revelation progresses—Old Testament reveals Father, New Testament reveals Son, and now the Spirit dwells among us for clearer vision.</li><li>Holy Spirit as “CEO,” executing divine action, though all Trinity persons act together (avoids heresy with disclaimer).</li></ul> <h3>Question on Divine Revelation</h3><ul><li>Adam notes God’s slow self-revelation (Father in Old Testament, Son over 30 years, Spirit post-Ascension) mirrors Jesus’ gradual revelation, suggesting a model for manhood.</li><li>Contrasts with modern “microwave culture” and social media’s demand for instant openness (e.g., sharing deepest secrets), lacking decorum and dignity.</li><li>David agrees: Over-sharing is “ennoble”; small, face-to-face communities historically allowed meaningful relationships without forced exposure.</li></ul> <h2>Break 2: Return to Discussion</h2><ul><li>Divine Hiddenness (Continued):</li><li>God’s slow revelation was for humanity’s readiness; social media fosters a consumer mentality where people “consume” others’ lives without true relationship.</li><li>Example: Atheist Bible scholars know Jesus’ life but lack relationship, unlike personal encounters built over time.</li><li>Holy Spirit’s Role: Through sacraments (e.g., Baptism, Confirmation), the Spirit subtly leads us to the Son, then the Father, reversing the Trinity’s condescension.</li><li>Catechism: Holy Spirit is the “oil” anointing the Son, encountered first in meeting Christ; a free gift requiring only acceptance.</li><li>Paragraph 1699: “Life in the Holy Spirit fulfills the vocation of man,” often taken for granted.</li></ul> <h2>Break 3: Confession Story</h2><ul><li>David’s Confession Experience: At the 2025 Oklahoma Catholic Men’s Conference, David confessed to a Lebanese priest he initially judged (due to communication concerns).</li><li>Priest’s directness (“This is very bad. You cannot do this”) was refreshing, avoiding excuses; best confession due to tough love.</li><li>Penance: Say “Come, Holy Spirit” 12 times throughout the day, not consecutively.</li><li>Impact: Noticing the Spirit’s quick response in daily moments led David to habitually invoke the Spirit, enhancing awareness.</li></ul> <h2>Podcast-Exclusive Segment: Fruits of the Holy Spirit</h2><ul><li>Charismatic Movement Hesitation:</li><li>Adam admits invoking the Holy Spirit transactionally (in tough situations) rather than relationally, due to mystery and past experiences.</li><li>Poor catechesis in the charismatic movement (1960s–1990s), influenced by Protestant culture (e.g., TV preachers), caused confusion; practices like “re-baptism in the Spirit” raise red flags.</li><li>Mother Angelica’s experience: Allowed charismatic prayers but later distanced herself, reflecting nuanced concerns.</li><li>Adam recognizes intellectual error in dismissing the Spirit (“throwing baby out with bathwater”) but struggles emotionally due to cultural baggage.</li><li>Fruits of the Holy Spirit: David shifts to Catechism’s teaching that the moral life is sustained by the Spirit’s gifts (unearned, permanent dispositions for docility).</li><li>Fruits (from children’s song): Charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity.</li><li>Encourages simple invocations like “Come, Holy Spirit” or the Jesus Prayer to acknowledge the Spirit’s constant work.</li><li>Praying in the Spirit: David references Fr. Mike Schmitz’s mention of “praying in the Spirit” (from Nashville interview), unsure of its meaning vs. regular prayer.</li><li>Cites biblical examples (e.g., Simeon/Anna “in the Spirit” at the Presentation); hopes to clarify with Fr. Mike later.</li></ul> <h2>Closing Thoughts</h2><ul><li>Takeaway: Increase awareness of the Holy Spirit through simple prayers (“Come, Holy Spirit”) to fulfill man’s vocation and sustain moral life.</li><li>Catechism Recommendation: Read paragraphs 683–780 for insights into the Holy Spirit’s names and symbols.</li></ul> <h2>Action Items for Listeners</h2><ul><li>Invoke the Holy Spirit: Say “Come, Holy Spirit” in daily moments to increase awareness and docility.</li><li>Read Catechism: Explore paragraphs 683–780 on the Holy Spirit’s role, names, and symbols.</li><li>Pray Simply: Use short prayers like the Jesus Prayer or “Come, Holy Spirit” for instant connection.</li><li>Reflect on Honor: Ponder the balance of defending faith with prudence and charity in modern contexts.</li><li>Support McAlester Station: Pray for 90.9 FM’s success in evangelizing McAlester and its correctional facilities.</li></ul> <h2>Sponsor Mentions</h2><ul><li>Select International Tours: selectinternationaltours.com</li></ul>

Episode 189 - Jesus reveals the mysterious reality of the Kingdom of God in parables - Sunday June 16, 2024 - 4:26-34

In light of the recent shooting in Colorado Springs, there have been many online debates about who is responsible for such acts of violence and what solutions we as a society should try and implement to prevent future attacks such as this one.&nbsp;
If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably seen me sharing tweets from AOC, posts from the NYT, and a post from another Catholic influencer. All of these insinuated, implied, or presented premises that lead to the conclusion that the Church's stance on same-sex marriage and gender theory contributes and/or leads to violent attacks against the LGBT community.&nbsp;
I debunk all such nonsense and cite several strong sources against the foolish idea that Catholics can or should support Socialism or big government in any form.&nbsp;

Ep 188 | God or Government: What's the solution?

I know you all loved the Usher reference in the title...no? Don't know who Usher is? Oh boy...moving on! In Part II on Confession we discuss penance...you can't complete the sacrament of Reconciliation without doing your penance. What is penance? Why is it important? What's the purpose of it? Can priests give physical penances? Are they too easy nowadays? Keep listening on for answers to all these questions and more! By the way, pray for Father Dom's voice. Man...he just keeps getting throat punched. Pray he can better defend himself in jiu-jitsu as well.  Father Dom's Challenge: GET TO CONFESSION! I know this has been a challenge before, but that's how important it is. If you are not Catholic, do an examination of conscience every night. Begin to recognize the sins you struggle with and bring them before God for healing and to reconcile yourself not only to Him who made you but each other as well.  Thank you to our partners at Hallow!
