The Impossible Hot Dog

All of us are aware of the cliché that says that business somehow causes poverty or that capitalism and charity are opposed.  This however is challenged by the document that the Vatican released in 2011 called “The Vocation Of The Catholic Business Leader.”  This document issues six principles that are to guide every business leader in their vocation and its second principle says that businesses are there to help the poor.  How can this be done?

Case #01 - No Life Without Death - Pt. 1

Sometimes the voice of the Gospel can best be heard by listening to the voices of those who do not profess it.  Such is the case for Saul Alinsky.  In his “Rules For Radicals” this social agitator outlined a series of beliefs that have produced stunning success.  But have they produced effective leadership?  What’s the difference between his philosophy on leadership and the truth of the Gospel?

Behind the Scenes of "Am I Racist?" (Matt Walsh) | Ep. 485​

On today’s podcast, we’re talking about the mistaken idea that a personal relationship with God is a Protestant thing and not necessary for Catholics. Nothing could be further from the truth! Throughout the Gospels, Christ invites us to know Him, not just know about Him. Pope Benedict said, “Many people perceive Christianity as something institutional, rather than an encounter with Christ, which explains why they don’t see it as a source of joy.”

From the Sacraments to Scriptures, to songs and prayers, Catholicism creates opportunities for each and every one of us to experience the closeness and friendship of God. This is the “why” of our faith.

In this episode, we learn that:
- The Sacraments are the greatest examples of Christ’s desire to have a personal relationship with us.
- At its core, the connection to Jesus is one of love.
- Like any loving relationship, faith is forged with care and commitment.

Two Wild and Crazy Guys

The BeatiDudes welcome one of their favorite priests, Fr. Edwin Leonard, Pastor of St Ann Parish in Coppell, where the Dudes are parishioners with their families. Fr. Edwin shares the spirit-led way in which St. Ann Parish encourages participation and receives each person with abundant hospitality. While describing St. Ann’s openness to new ideas, it becomes clear to the Dudes that St. Ann follows the first rule of improv – “Yes, and” – as that is part of their unique approach to ministry. During Blessed are the Joke Makers, with 72 points of the line, the Dudes must address the question, “What is talked about at the pub,” as a new parent.Fr. Edwin shares exciting updates about St. Ann Parish, including the new missionary institute, the addition of 2 new priests, and a church renovation to bring the tabernacle into the main sanctuary of the parish. He then reflects on the beauty of all types of worship, from the most traditional to the most charismatic. Then during the TBD Question of the Day, the Dudes and Fr. Edwin reflect on a fight-or-flight moment from each of their lives. And you won’t want to miss the most amazing reverse Simpsons ending, during which Fr. Edwin is asked to sing Taylor Swift.<h2>Follow St. Ann Parish</h2><a href="https://www.stannparish.org/">St Ann Parish, Greater Coppell Area</a><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 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>

DOES YOUR PARISH say "Yes, And"?  | Fr. Edwin Leonard, Pastor of St. Ann Parish | Episode #023

Advent Series 2022, Pt. 1: The word “Advent” means “coming” or “arrival.” While we tend to focus on the coming of the Son of God as a child at Christmas, Advent is traditionally a penitential season that is supposed to make us ready to meet the Lord at His second coming. This Advent series by Dr. David Hajduk, Array of Hope’s Director of Theology, reflects on the Final Advent of the Lord - the Last Judgment. This first part explores questions like “Why is there a general judgment at the end of time if there is a particular judgment at the moment of death?” and “What will be the signs that Jesus’ second coming is near?” -- Host: Dr. David HajdukVisit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.
