66: Why Ricky Gervais is wrong about God, knowledge, science, and religion, with Trent Horn

The key that determines the success of every great endeavor is whether or not we actually do it.  Planning, scheming, dreaming, all of these things are fine but in the final analysis only doing a deed will get the deed done.  But getting things done is hard.  Things can arise that we did not plan energy can wane situations can change.  It’s a good thing that God is on our side and leading out of a place of faith helps you to bend and not break.

How a Southern Baptist PASTOR Found Catholic Truth

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles dive into the topic of spiritual idleness, drawing from Father Frederick Faber’s <a href="https://corjesupress.com/products/growth-in-holiness?srsltid=AfmBOooFtEiqLyWH_oHLA-bXFQEf_-3b35CJSjMc0cjJgRN-NPxAlBUV" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Growth in Holiness: Progress of the Spiritual Life.</a> Recorded around the Fourth of July, the episode begins with a celebration of small-town Americana, from mutton busting at the local rodeo to the ordination of their friend, Father Robert Williams. The hosts then explore seven developments of spiritual idleness—dissipation, sadness, sloth, and more—offering practical insights on how to stay vigilant and prioritize a life oriented toward God. Sipping on Balvenie’s American Oak 12-Year Scotch, Adam and David discuss how modern distractions, like smartphones and excessive communication, fragment our focus and hinder our prayer life, and share strategies for cultivating presence, joy, and intentionality in both spiritual and daily routines.Key Discussion Points:<ul><li>Small-Town Americana: The hosts celebrate the Heart of America rodeo, mutton busting, and the communal prayer and patriotism of small-town events, reflecting on their importance in fostering connection.</li><li>Priestly Ordination: David shares a moving story of his son’s emotional response to Father Robert Williams’ ordination, highlighting the eternal nature of the priesthood and the call to discernment.</li><li>Spiritual Idleness Defined: Drawing from Father Faber’s Growth in Holiness, the hosts unpack seven developments of spiritual idleness: dissipation (misprioritizing tasks), sadness (rooted in self-love), sloth (hatred of existence), useless industry (excessive communication), and general indifference to time.</li><li>Dissipation’s Impact: Putting less important tasks first disrupts the hierarchy of goods, leading to a loss of peace and distractions in prayer, as Faber notes: “He who is diligent will soon be cheerful.”</li><li>Sadness and Self-Love: Sadness, driven by self-improvement rather than God, gives the devil power over the soul, undermining spiritual progress.</li><li>Sloth as a Culmination: Sloth combines dissipation and sadness, fostering a distaste for existence and duties, disrupting the tranquility of order (Aquinas’ definition of peace).</li><li>Useless Industry: Faber’s critique of excessive letter-writing in the 1800s applies to today’s text messaging and social media, which fragment focus and reduce meaningful communication.</li><li>Indifference to Time: Wasting time, especially on addictive platforms like YouTube Shorts, is a “stupid” sin that squanders the precious, irrevocable gift of time, which Faber calls “the stuff out of which eternity is made.”</li><li>Focus and Presence: True focus requires saying “no” to distractions to prioritize God’s will, fostering presence in both daily life and prayer, as exemplified by a man eating lunch under a tree without multitasking.</li><li>Leisure Done Right: Leisure must align with one’s state in life, be tethered to joy, and have a contemplative aspect, avoiding compulsory or utilitarian ends.</li></ul> Notable Quotes from Father Frederick Faber:<ul><li>“Dissipation… consists in putting things off beyond their proper times so that one duty treads upon the heels of another, and all duties are felt as irksome obligations.”</li><li>“He who is diligent will soon be cheerful.”</li><li>“The soul of sadness is self-love… How many are there whose real end in the spiritual life is self-improvement rather than God?”</li><li>“Nothing gives the devil so much power over us [as sadness].”</li><li>“Time is the stuff out of which eternity is made… we shall have to give the strictest account of it at the last.”</li></ul> Resources:<ul><li>Growth in Holiness: Progress of the Spiritual Life by Father Frederick Faber (available from Koreasoo Press).</li><li>Select International Tours – Join Adam and David on their October pilgrimage to Italy or explore other holy sites worldwide.</li><li>Explore St. Hesychios’ writings on watchfulness for insights on vigilance in the spiritual life.</li></ul>

"THIS is where God is." - Sami Berry's Conversion Testimony

Following God’s will is keeping union with God the Father, in love; walking close with His Son Jesus: the Way, Truth, and Life.

UNION IS HIS WILL

Let’s be real: a lot of guys hear the word disciple and think, “Whoa, I just wanted to flip burgers at the church event, not become a disciple.” But here’s the truth: being a Catholic man today means stepping up, not just sitting on the sidelines. Sean Lynn has been on this journey for 30 years. He was a police officer, seeing firsthand what happens when dads aren’t there—broken families, young people lost, crime. "We need Catholic men who are unafraid to lead, unafraid to live their faith boldly. And yeah, I get it—fear is real. We’ll talk politics, sports, anything but Jesus. But Scripture says it 140 times: Be not afraid." God is calling each of us by name. Right now. Will you answer?

Interview with an Exorcist (Fr. Vincent Lampert) | Ep. 268

From NBA history to boxing hilarity to heavenly devotion, this episode covers it all. 
Father Dave and Deacon Bob kick off this episode with undefeated basketball teams, NFL surprises, and a now-notorious boxing match that left the world talking about Mike Tyson’s… britches. But the real focus? A heartfelt look at devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the ways God continues to work through saints, sacraments, and sacred spaces. 
They cover everything from the Cleveland Cavaliers’ record-breaking start to Deacon Bob’s visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Champion, the first approved Marian apparition site in the U.S. Father Dave shares exciting updates about Franciscan University’s new presence in Washington, D.C., and how students will be engaging with the nation's capital in fresh, faith-filled ways. 
Meanwhile, the duo breaks down the highly anticipated (and widely mocked) Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight, including buffering woes, bizarre interviews, and the mystery of Tyson’s missing pants. But at the heart of the episode is a rich discussion on how saints like St. Augustine, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, and St. Margaret Mary Alacoque open the Church to deeper encounters with the Sacred Heart—especially through the Sacraments of the Eucharist and Reconciliation. 
Naturally, there is a wide-ranging conversation: sports fandoms, pilgrimage dreams, movie trailers, and a plea for listeners to join a They That Hope pilgrimage. Through it all, the message remains: God’s heart thirsts for us—and when we encounter it, we are transformed.

Strive for Freedom: Deacon Michael Halbrook

St. Paul is surely one of the most famous leaders listed in the entire Bible.  His life reads like a passionate saga and is full of lessons for those of us, who being Christians, want to follow in his footsteps leading in our world.  That’s why his second letter to Timothy is so important.  It actually chronicles St. Paul’s final letter in the New Testament to one of his closest disciples.  Chapter 3 of this letter offers us wonderful insight into faith’s capacity to bring us endurance.

Catholic Testimonies, Early Christianity, & the Imitation of Christ

Have you all tried to ask for a raise? Maybe you have played sports in the past and had a big competition on the horizon? Or maybe you were actually in the military on deployment. Whatever the case might be, you prepared for it, didn’t you? You studied your competition. What makes them tick? What are their strengths? What are their weaknesses? How can I come out on top?You knew your enemy. Now, of course, your boss isn’t your enemy. Nor is the other team or competition you faced. The actual enemy, is Satan. Whether you know it or not, Satan is coming for you. There is a competition for your soul between Jesus and the devil. “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither yourself or the enemy, you will succumb in every battle.” In this episode, we talk about Satan. In episodes 16 and 17, we talk about Spiritual Warfare and in Episode 44 we talked about Satan’s 5 Generals. Keep listening to hear about the true enemy and why knowing him makes a whole lot more sense when looking at what is going on in the world today. Fr. Dom Challenge: He REALLY loves confession.

Ep 69 - Know Thy Enemy, Know Thyself

I've had many conversations with good Protestant friends of mine about the similarities between Catholics and all other denominations. The saying I hear most often is, "we all pretty much believe the same things anyway, right?"&nbsp;
Wrong.&nbsp;
That's a hard pill to swallow. It can be an even harder pill to administer. We don't like showing people where we are divided. We're divided enough, aren't we?&nbsp;
I agree that we don't need to be constantly running around calling people heretics and having theological debates, especially if we agree on most values and principles.&nbsp;
BUT there is a difference between Catholic beliefs and Protestant beliefs. And these differences are substantial. The differences impact our road to salvation, so they're important enough to share. 
 
In today's episode, I highlight some of those differences. This is Part Two of Catholic vs. Protestant, so be sure to check out the first episode if you haven't yet!

Ep 114 | Catholic vs. Protestant: Does It Really Matter?

Article 2. Whether it is lawful to kill sinners? Objection 1. It would seem unlawful to kill men who have sinned. For our Lord in the parable (Matthew 13) forbade the uprooting of the cockle which denotes wicked men according to a gloss. Now whatever is forbidden by God is a sin. Therefore it is a sin to kill a sinner. Objection 2. Further, human justice is conformed to Divine justice. Now according to Divine justice sinners are kept back for repentance, according to Ezekiel 33:11, "I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live." Therefore it seems altogether unjust to kill sinners. Objection 3. Further, it is not lawful, for any good end whatever, to do that which is evil in itself, according to Augustine(Contra Mendac. vii) and the Philosopher (Ethic. ii, 6). Now to kill a man is evil in itself, since we are bound to havecharity towards all men, and "we wish our friends to live and to exist," according to Ethic. ix, 4. Therefore it is nowise lawful to kill a man who has sinned. On the contrary, It is written (Exodus 22:18): "Wizards thou shalt not suffer to live"; and (Psalm 100:8): "In the morning I put to death all the wicked of the land." I answer that, As stated above (Article 1), it is lawful to kill dumb animals, in so far as they are naturally directed toman's use, as the imperfect is directed to the perfect. Now every part is directed to the whole, as imperfect to perfect, wherefore every part is naturally for the sake of the whole. For this reason we observe that if the health of the whole body demands the excision of a member, through its being decayed or infectious to the other members, it will be both praiseworthy and advantageous to have it cut away. Now every individual person is compared to the whole community, as part to whole. Therefore if a man be dangerous and infectious to the community, on account of some sin, it is praiseworthy and advantageous that he be killed in order to safeguard the common good, since "a little leaven corrupteth the whole lump" (1 Corinthians 5:6). Reply to Objection 1. Our Lord commanded them to forbear from uprooting the cockle in order to spare the wheat, i.e. the good. This occurs when the wicked cannot be slain without the good being killed with them, either because thewicked lie hidden among the good, or because they have many followers, so that they cannot be killed without danger to the good, as Augustine says (Contra Parmen. iii, 2). Wherefore our Lord teaches that we should rather allow the wickedto live, and that vengeance is to be delayed until the last judgment, rather than that the good be put to death together with the wicked. When, however, the good incur no danger, but rather are protected and saved by the slaying of thewicked, then the latter may be lawfully put to death. Reply to Objection 2. According to the order of His wisdom, God sometimes slays sinners forthwith in order to deliver the good, whereas sometimes He allows them time to repent, according as He knows what is expedient for His elect. This also does human justice imitate according to its powers; for it puts to death those who are dangerous to others, while it allows time for repentance to those who sin without grievously harming others. Reply to Objection 3. By sinning man departs from the order of reason, and consequently falls away from the dignity of his manhood, in so far as he is naturally free, and exists for himself, and he falls into the slavish state of the beasts, by being disposed of according as he is useful to others. This is expressed in Psalm 48:21: "Man, when he was in honor, did not understand; he hath been compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them," and Proverbs 11:29: "The fool shall serve the wise." Hence, although it be evil in itself to kill a man so long as he preserve his dignity, yet it may begood to kill a man who has sinned, even as it is to kill a beast. For a bad man is worse than a beast, and is more harmful, as the Philosopher states (Polit. i, 1 and Ethic. vii, 6). ST II-II. Q 64.

11: Is the death penalty always wrong?

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob discuss what it means to have authentic friends in our lives and look ahead to the Lenten season.

Authentic Friendship

In this episode, John and Victor dive deep into a topic that affects us all—worry and anxiety. We all have those moments when life feels overwhelming, but what can we do about it? John shares a powerful personal story about how worry was stealing his joy, even during a simple fishing trip. We'll explore what the saints and scriptures have to say about overcoming these feelings and how trusting in God can make all the difference.

But that's not all—this episode is packed with inspiration! You'll hear a touching story of a young man who found hope and healing through our men's group, a reminder of the incredible impact community can have. Plus, we're talking about the busyness of ministry life, the importance of prayer, and the ways we can all support each other on this journey of faith.

Whether you're new to the show or a longtime listener, there's something here for everyone. Don't forget to like, comment, and consider becoming a Partner in the Pew to help us continue this vital work.

Be Wise at a Nutty Time! | Fr. Gregory Pine

Lent is a journey filled with challenges, but what matters most is not perfection—it’s perseverance. Setbacks and failures are inevitable, but giving up is the easy way out, and you can’t expect to grow stronger by always taking the easy path. Whether through fasting, prayer, or simply showing up, Lent is an opportunity to repent and draw closer to the Lord.

Join us in the pew this week for a reminder that failure doesn’t have to be the end—what truly matters is the courage to begin again.

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

We all know that leaders are responsible for getting things done, leading their organizations to be productive, but sometimes we forget that leadership also sometimes has a softer side and that a leader is just as responsible for the moral climate of his organization as he is for its efficiency.  In St. Paul’s letter to Titus, Chapter 2, St. Paul outlines his vision for the leader as the guardian of excellence.  And what he wrote Titus then still holds true for us today.

DGT Episode 173 - St. Paul’s Leadership Legacy III - Part 2 Guardians Of Excellence

This Ash Wednesday, Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen go straight to the heart of Lent’s first command: repent and believe.

We're focusing on two concrete actions that we avoid until we're desperate: a real examination of conscience and a clean, simple confession. Not scrupulosity. Not vague generalities. An honest inventory of blind spots, weak spots, compromises, and missed opportunities for virtue.

The Lent Resolution We All Need | Fr. Ken Geraci & John Heinen

By all accounts St. Paul checks all the boxes when it comes to being an effective leader.  But of all of his many wonderful qualities, the strength that dominates his personality without a doubt is his perseverance in the face of adversity.  St. Paul is someone who finishes what he starts.  But many of us struggle to do the same.  Burn out is a real thing and persevering in the face of adversity sometimes just isn’t worth it.  What’s the secret to Paul’s outstanding sense of grit and how can we imitate him today?

DGT Episode 250 - Finishing What He Started - St. Paul The Leader Part 6

Become a patron of Pints With Aquinas <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">here</a>. Today on Pints With Aquinas I interview Fr. Gregory Pine about papal infallibility! Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P. serves as the Assistant Director for Campus Outreach for the Thomistic Institute. Born and raised near Philadelphia, PA, he later attended the Franciscan University of Steubenville, studying mathematics and humanities. Upon graduating, he entered the Dominican Province of St. Joseph in 2010 and was ordained in 2016. "It was St. Thomas Aquinas who first introduced me to the Order, and by his prayers that I grew in knowledge and love of its saving mission and ultimately came to find my happiness in Order of Friars Preachers." Learn more on Papal Infallibility <a href="https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/infallibility">here</a>. --- Here's the section we read from the ST: I answer that, Wherever there are several authorities directed to one purpose, there must needs be one universal authority over the particular authorities, because in all virtues and acts the order is according to the order of their ends (Ethic. i, 1,2). Now the common good is more Godlike than the particular good. Wherefore above the governing power which aims at a particular good there must be a universal governing power in respect of the common good, otherwise there would be no cohesion towards the one object. Hence since the whole Church is one body, it behooves, if this oneness is to be preserved, that there be a governing power in respect of the whole Church, above the episcopal power whereby each particular Church is governed, and this is the power of the Pope. Consequently those who deny this power are called schismatics as causing a division in the unity of the Church. Again, between a simple bishop and the Pope there are other degrees of rank corresponding to the degrees of union, in respect of which one congregation or community includes another; thus the community of a province includes the community of a city, and the community of a kingdom includes the community of one province, and the community of the whole world includes the community of one kingdom. ST Supp. Q. 40, A. 6.

A Dram With Santiago Torres

Matt Reynolds joins the BeatiDudes to discuss faith, family, and business as the co-founder and brewmaster at Celestial Beerworks in Dallas. Matt weaves together the stories of entrepreneurship with his journey to the Catholic faith while providing delicious samples of his beer and carbonated water to the BeatiDudes. This episode also contains a new beer brainstorming session that we are hoping to see come to fruition. And, like always, we push the podcasting envelope by surprising Matt with a beer-tasting challenge to see if he can identify the names of three different beers from his brewery.<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://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</a> <a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Support Matt Reynolds:</h2><a href="www.celestialbeerworks.com">Celestial Beerworks</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>

Sends Them Out, BREW by BREW | Matt Reynolds, Celestial Beerworks | Episode #009

Every leader needs to pray.  The best gauge of h ow much we can stand for is the dignity of the One before whom we knee.  Prayer is the heart of leadership because it preservers the heart of the leader.  And the inner spirit that soars towards God can transform the world as needed.  One of the most powerful prayers for leaders is the prayer of The Litany Of Humility and I’m looking to sharing about it with you.

169: Aquinas on the Passions, W/ Fr. Gregory Pine

Thanks for listening! Please support me (Thank you!) on Patreon <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">here</a> or directly <a href="https://www.pintswithaquinas.com/donate">here</a>. Here's a slightly different translation of Aquinas' prayer before Mass: Almighty and everlasting God, behold I come to the Sacrament of Thine only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ: I come as one infirm to the physician of life, as one unclean to the fountain of mercy, as one blind to the light of everlasting brightness, as one poor and needy to the Lord of heaven and earth. Therefore I implore the abundance of Thy measureless bounty that Thou wouldst vouchsafe to heal my infirmity, wash my uncleanness, enlighten my blindness, enrich my poverty and clothe my nakedness, that I may receive the Bread of Angels, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, with such reverence and humility, with such sorrow and devotion, with such purity and faith, with such purpose and intention as may be profitable to my soul's salvation. Grant unto me, I pray, the grace of receiving not only the Sacrament of our Lord's Body and Blood, but also the grace and power of the Sacrament. O most gracious God, grant me so to receive the Body of Thine only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, which He took from the Virgin Mary, as to merit to be incorporated into His mystical Body, and to be numbered amongst His members. O most loving Father, give me grace to behold forever Thy beloved Son with His face at last unveiled, whom I now purpose to receive under the sacramental veil here below. Amen.

A Dram with Damon Owens

Replay Episode In our first interview, Brett sits down with Carey Nieuwhof who has been a pastor, teacher, & leadership guru for many years. They discuss God's calling to change careers & fighting against simply going through the motions. They also discuss what the Church can learn from her own response to the pandemic in retrospect. We may have adapted to meet the new challenges, but did we really innovate? This includes a discussion on the politicization of the Church. To close the conversation, they discuss burnout; when the functions of life continue but the joy of life is gone. Carey shares his personal story of dealing with extreme burnout, how he recovered from it & how you can avoid it.

Battling Burnout w/ Carey Nieuwhof (replay)

In this week's episode, John and Victor take a look at the journey and life of Peter in the 40 Days after the Resurrection.  As they reflect on the Scripture readings from the first Friday of the Easter season, John and Victor draw parallels between the biblical stories of Peter's denial and his subsequent redemption, exploring themes of vulnerability, forgiveness, and the endless capacity for personal growth and healing in the light of Christ's mercy. This episode is a raw look at the moments of despair that can lead to profound transformations through faith and community support.

This week's episode is not only a narrative of personal struggle but also a testament to the power of surrendering to God's will, the importance of community, and the ever-present hope that faith in Jesus brings. It's a reminder that no matter how far we may stray, redemption is always within reach, inviting us to cast our nets once more into the waters of faith, hope, and love.

Whether you're struggling with personal demons, searching for meaning in the midst of chaos, or simply seeking a deeper connection with your faith, this episode offers a message of hope, resilience, and the transformative power of God's love.

A Dram with Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers

The world is crying; this cry manifests itself in despair, anxiety and fear.
Jesus founded the Church to answer this cry, but she is also crying.
We were born for this moment in history. No one is alive right now by chance. God is calling each of us into mission with hope and unshakable confidence in Him.

Join Fr. John Riccardo as he shares an in depth backround on ACTS XXIX and The Rescue Project.

Heroic Men Live with Fr. John Riccardo

The Catholic Church has seen a steady decrease in mass attendance among the general population, but especially among men.
Why is it so hard to for the Church to retain boys and men? Why is religion not appealing to men anymore?
One theory provides four main causes:
1) There is no challenge coming from the average pulpit
2) Most parishes and Dioceses have an emasculated organizational culture
3) Ugly liturgical practices - as we lost our tradition, we also lost a great deal of our beauty in Catholicism
4) Parishes have no brotherhood - there is little to no fraternity in the average Catholic parish
In today&#39;s episode, Fr. Meyer and Nathan talk about how they believe we can right the ship and begin bringing men back into the faith.

Jared Zimmerer, Senior Director of the Word on Fire Institute, delivered this lecture for the Knights of Columbus “Men of the Cross” initiative entitled “How Self-Control is Strengthened by Endurance.”

In this talk Jared discusses:

- Ways in which we can live self-discipline through the mind, body, and soul
- Images that the saints and philosophers have given to help us on this journey
- How a relationship with the Church and Jesus Christ is the path to real freedom
- Practical tips from spiritual masters on how to live out this freedom


Men of the Cross with Jared Zimmerer

Matthew James Christoff from Every Catholic Man and Michael Donovan from Catholic Men's Leadership Alliance sit down to talk about this Sunday’s Gospel. It’s part of a special Lent program geared to help men be better prepared for every Sunday Mass during Lent. Each week, watch these men explore Gospel reading, looking for ways to grow in awe of Jesus Christ and grow in real happiness.

The Lent Gospels: Palm Sunday

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

5 Big Things! + Q&A

Flip Howard is a dynamic entrepreneur and Catholic leader who truly serves as a role model for Catholic husbands, fathers, and now grandfathers. Flip arrives in style, bringing his private-label blended whiskey to share with the BeatiDudes in an episode that begins with a recall of great pranks before moving into Flip’s entrepreneurship journey. Early in his career, Flip started a laundry servicing company on college campuses and tells an amazing story about the competitor he bought out, who years later went on to start the global brand Tom’s Shoes. Flip then talks through the arch of his successful upscale co-working company, Lucid Private Offices. In addition to serving as a professional and welcoming workspace for small businesses, Lucid Private Offices are also the home of The BeatiDudes and Undivided Life. As the Lucid Private Office tagline goes, “Work is good. Where you do it matters.”Thanks to his faith-filled upbringing that was nurtured by his mother and his ongoing formation through great institutions like Franciscan University in Steubenville, Flip has always looked for ways to grow great businesses while trusting and glorifying God throughout it all. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a Movie Villain to address the prompt, “The 11th plague is going to be _______.” The TBD Question of the Day – Who is the speaker you always get excited to hear? The show ends with a surprise party with little Flip Howard confetti cutouts falling from the sky.

We’re looking at the moments when our Lord reveals what His mission is.  By seeing His mission we better understand our own.  In John 18:33-38, our Lord speaks with Pontius Pilate about His mission.

DGT Episode 68 - Christ's Mission Part 2 - Bearing Witness To The Truth

To lead we have to be able to bring talent forth – all great leaders have this in common.  And Jesus Christ shows us this in a very special way.  During the three years he was with his apostles he not only consoled and healed them but he also challenged them and trained them for a life of discipleship in the most challenging of circumstances.  He trained his future leaders to lead by leading them into their own greatness even when this was hard.

Welcome to 2024!

"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 ...

This is the Seeking Excellence Podcast weekly round up for the week ending on 9/30/22.&nbsp;
I've been wanting to start doing these for a while! I love seeing different weekly recaps in sports, media, news, etc. so I figured I'd start doing one of my own with a third podcast each week.&nbsp;
The purpose of this is to give you some top headlines and news events from the Church, politics, and personal life lessons learned throughout the week.&nbsp;
Hit me with the feedback from this first one! I look forward to hearing what you think.&nbsp;

Episode XVIII Bear Woznick
https://godsquad.ca/
Bear Woznick from a Long Ride Home and Bear Woznick’s Deep Adventure Ministries
All the way from Hawaii, Bear Woznick is a long way from the pub; joining Sean and in a dram of American Whiskey each toting respectively a taste of Jack Daniels and Maker's Mark.
Bear doesn’t look at Bear’s Man Cave as a way to run from his wife like some men would. &nbsp;No his Cave is more what the desert is to the Early Church Fathers. &nbsp;Except for him, it’s a place to minister men in the faith. &nbsp;Bear and Sean have much in common, both real, both evangelists, both on fire for the Lord, both started on an embarrassingly small sized Honda motorcycle.
If sour mash and bourbon is to Harley and Victory, you can guess which one rides which.
This world adventurer and tandem surfing champion, sporting an impressive St. Benedict’s ring is alway eager to share about his faith and his adventures including getting a work out with his wife thanks to a Honu. Come and listen to Bear as he shares about his mana and the manaho he’s acquired. &nbsp;He gives you the secret to being able to ride the 85 foot waves the faithful will encounter. &nbsp;Yes, it does require courage. &nbsp;But Bear affirms, that’s what we’re made for… and it starts young.
