How Excruciating Pain and Depression Led An Atheist to RCIA | Catholic Christian Testimony

John Sablan spent the better part of his adult life being what he now calls the X factor in his family: the one holding everything back. Raised in abuse, living a wayward life, he and his wife stumbled into the Catholic Church, and he settled comfortably into being lukewarm. His marriage came to the edge. Then at a men's conference, with a general confession, and a priest praying deliverance over him in Latin changed the trajectory. In this conversation, John Heinen and Devin Schadt sit down with John Sablan to get at the real roots of what's keeping men soft and what it actually takes to do something about it.

Rooted in Thomistic psychology (which he studied under Fr. Chad Ripperger), John defines effeminacy the way Aquinas did: not a personality flaw, but a moral vice. The inability to deny pleasure in order to pursue the arduous good. He unpacks the trap men fall into when they finally decide to get serious: trading softness for stoicism, white-knuckling virtue as a self-improvement project, making the whole thing about proving themselves rather than serving God. They also tackle why "do you want to save your marriage?" is the wrong question.

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

Christian leaders have to face a constant dilemma.  Belonging to Jesus Christ and at His Service their hearts are focused on heaven, and yet having to care for the things of this world their time and their mental capacity are dominated by the things that pass.  How do we keep our souls alive and fresh in God when are time is spent with the anxieties and cares of life?  This constant problem for Christian leaders could be summed up by the expression “We need to live in the world, but not of the world.”

In Chapter 9 of De Regno, Thomas Aquinas makes a startling discovery.  He speaks about the reward that God is offering for the leader.  And he ends by saying that the reward of the leader is to have God himself.  This strikes me as important for us to understand the true nature of happiness – the true reason of why we are doing what we are doing.

Lent: Do or do not, there is no try!

Today's guest is Catholic theologian and author of Witness to Hope: The Biography of John Paul II, George Weigel. Brett & George discuss George's thoughts and critiques on the Synod of Synodality & his writing process of his over 30 books. They also dive into the importance of leaders to be precise in the words they use, Catholic institutions being missionaries of the Church, the presence of "Catholic lite" (a term he coined in his book "Evangelical Catholic") in the Church today, and a young Karol Wojtyla's role in Vatican II. It's an intriguing and well-rounded conversation with one of the most highly respected Catholics of our time.

<h2>Searching for God to leading men!</h2>

A Dram with Matthew Christoff

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss generosity and the importance of being a gift to others.

Generosity

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss stress and its attempt to rob us of our right to experience God's peace.

Stress

In this episode, Victor Adams and I talk about PURPOSE. It’s all too easy for our daily lives to feel like an endless cycle of repetition. So we try to find things to give us pleasure and avoid a feeling of emptiness. The problem is, we look to everything else besides the one person who can truly give us purpose.

Psalm 57:2 tells us that God is the one who fulfills his purpose for each one of us. If we want to find the purpose we’re looking for in life, we have to set aside all the other things we turn to and start talking and listening to God.

In this episode, we learn that:
- When you don’t have a purpose, life becomes all about your feelings.
- Lack of purpose is the root of addictions and other issues.
- There’s a longing in yourself that only God can fulfill.

Is There More To Life Than This?

Ask any organizational leader what the hardest part of their job is and they will all say the same thing: managing people.  You cannot win at business without your people but your people can often be the reason why you lose at business.  Becoming an excellent manager is an art and a skill as much as it is a natural talent.  In Chapter 3 of his work, On The Rule Of Shepherds, Pope St. Gregory The Great gives us insight that can help all of us with this difficult task.

DGT Episode 157 - The Angry And The Meek - St. Gregory The Great The Rule Of Shepherds Book 3 Part 1

In this week's episode of Catholic Re.Con., guests Father Peter and Judy Davids explore round 1 of their incredible journey to the Catholic faith.

A married Catholic priest and his wife... (part 1)

Today we're going to talk with Aquinas about backbiting, slander, and calumny. --- We're reading from the Secunda Secundae, Q. 73. A. 1;4. On the contrary, It is written (Ecclesiastes 10:11): "If a serpent bite in silence, he is nothing better that backbiteth." I answer that, Just as one man injures another by deed in two ways—openly, as by robbery or by doing him any kind of violence—and secretly, as by theft, or by a crafty blow, so again one man injures another by words in two ways—in one way, openly, and this is done by reviling him, as stated above (II-II:72:1)—and in another way secretly, and this is done by backbiting. Now from the fact that one man openly utters words against another man, he would appear to think little of him, so that for this reason he dishonors him, so that reviling is detrimental to the honor of the person reviled. On the other hand, he that speaks against another secretly, seems to respect rather than slight him, so that he injures directly, not his honor but his good name, in so far as by uttering such words secretly, he, for his own part, causes his hearers to have a bad opinion of the person against whom he speaks. For the backbiter apparently intends and aims at being believed. It is therefore evident that backbiting differs from reviling in two points: first, in the way in which the words are uttered, the reviler speaking openly against someone, and the backbiter secretly; secondly, as to the end in view, i.e. as regards the injury inflicted, the reviler injuring a man's honor, the backbiter injuring his good name. --- On the contrary, Jerome says (Ep. ad Nepot. lii): "Take care not to have an itching tongue, nor tingling ears, that is, neither detract others nor listen to backbiters." I answer that, According to the Apostle (Romans 1:32), they "are worthy of death . . . not only they that" commit sins, "but they also that consent to them that do them." Now this happens in two ways. First, directly, when, to wit, one man induces another to sin, or when the sin is pleasing to him: secondly, indirectly, that is, if he does not withstand him when he might do so, and this happens sometimes, not because the sin is pleasing to him, but on account of some human fear. Accordingly we must say that if a man list ens to backbiting without resisting it, he seems to consent to the backbiter, so that he becomes a participator in his sin. And if he induces him to backbite, or at least if the detraction be pleasing to him on account of his hatred of the person detracted, he sins no less than the detractor, and sometimes more. Wherefore Bernard says (De Consid. ii, 13): "It is difficult to say which is the more to be condemned the backbiter or he that listens to backbiting." If however the sin is not pleasing to him, and he fails to withstand the backbiter, through fear negligence, or even shame, he sins indeed, but much less than the backbiter, and, as a rule venially. Sometimes too this may be a mortal sin, either because it is his official duty to cor. rect the backbiter, or by reason of some consequent danger; or on account of the radical reason for which human fear may sometimes be a mortal sin, as stated above (II-II:19:3).

Why I QUIT Drinking! | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Most people acknowledge that humility is a good thing – something that we should desire.  But most leaders struggle to find how humility can be incorporated into their leadership.  Afterall, don’t we need to be assertive?  Controlling?  In Charge?  It would seem that if I am a leader and I am humble that I am weak and incapable of providing the vision and the drive necessary for my people.  But this is not the case.  In the third chapter of St. Paul’s letter to Titus we see that God’s vision for humility is a powerful one.  In all the books of the bible we find God’s wisdom

DGT Episode 174 - St. Paul’s Leadership Legacy III - Part 3 Leveraging Humility

When it comes to leadership, so much can be said and so much has been said but sometimes it can be a little confusing.  What exactly is meant by leadership?  What is not leadership?  What comes first and defines the rest?  In the approach we take at the Saint John Leadership Network, leadership begins with what we call aspiration.  Profoundly put, this means the ability we have to dream.  In today’s course we examine where dreams come from and how to recover its power in our lives.

DGT Episode 203 - Aspiration And Inspiration - AUDEO Part 1

My brothers, God wants you to become like a candle. Do not be afraid to melt before the Living Flame of God!

Resolve

“Ultimately we're distracted from what matters most, which is following Jesus and doing what he's asked of us.”

In this episode, Victor and John talk about how easy it is to get swept up in the conflicts of the world and to lose sight of the 'better part.' In their conversation, they discuss diversions and obsessions within the Church and the importance of following Jesus. They also discuss the need for unity within the Catholic Church and the dangers of getting caught up in controversies and distractions.

85: How to argue without seeming like a crazy person, with Randal Rauser

When it comes to following the Lord, we can be tempted to let ourselves off easy sometimes. We don’t want to put in the work, and we get lazy. In the Old Testament, this even happened to King David. But when we decide to take a “day off” from following God, it can lead to disaster for ourselves and for our families. So Victor and I sat down today to talk about why we need to stay in the fight.

In this episode you’ll learn:
- How to stay committed to your prayer life.
- What happens when you decide to give yourself a “break” from following God.
- What Scripture says about staying in the fight.
- And more!

Trent Horn Vs Matt Dillahunty: Is belief in the Resurrection reasonable?

What do a prodigal son, a Belize beach revival, and Marian apparitions in Rwanda have in common? 
They all point us back to the mercy of the Father. This week on They That Hope, Deacon Bob Rice and Father Dave Pivonka reflect on powerful journeys of repentance, healing, and homecoming—from the Gospel of Luke to the real-life stories unfolding in mission fields and pilgrimage sites. 
Recording from opposite sides of the globe, the hosts reunite after two transformative trips. Deacon Bob shares about leading Franciscan University students on mission in Belize, where their joyful witness brought hope to a struggling culture. Father Dave recounts his pilgrimage to Rwanda with Immaculée Ilibagiza, diving deep into the Church-approved Marian apparitions at Kibeho and the painful echoes of genocide. 
Amid reflections on mercy and reconciliation, they also manage to squeeze in March Madness predictions, NBA tanking controversy, and a surprisingly heartfelt conversation about snorkeling (yes, snorkeling gets emotional too). From returning to God after hitting rock bottom to living out faith in a divided world, this episode is a moving invitation to come home to the Father—again and again.

Women Struggle With Pornography Too (Rachael Killackey) | Ep. 284

In Chapter 7 of his book, “Rules For Radicals” Saul Alinsky unveils what he is most famous for.  The rules for victory that radicals can follow for organizing a community for change.  These rules have sparked much interest and debate for many years because they are both practical and successful.  But are they aligned with the Gospel?  Where can we both learn from them and do better?

DGT Episode 126 - Saul Alinsky, Winning At All Costs - The Anti-Leaders Part 10

I chat with Fr. Gregory Pine about the 7 Sacraments! As stated above, the sacraments of the Church were instituted for a twofold purpose: namely, in order to perfect man in things pertaining to the worship of God according to the religion of Christian life, and to be a remedy against the defects caused by sin. And in either way it is becoming that there should be seven sacraments. For spiritual life has a certain conformity with the life of the body: just as other corporeal things have a certain likeness to things spiritual. Now a man attains perfection in the corporeal life in two ways: first, in regard to his own person; secondly, in regard to the whole community of the society in which he lives, for man is by nature a social animal. With regard to himself man is perfected in the life of the body, in two ways; first, directly [per se, i.e. by acquiring some vital perfection; secondly, indirectly [per accidens, i.e. by the removal of hindrances to life, such as ailments, or the like. Now the life of the body is perfected "directly," in three ways. First, by generation whereby a man begins to be and to live: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Baptism, which is a spiritual regeneration, according to Titus 3:5: "By the laver of regeneration," etc. Secondly, by growth whereby a man is brought to perfect size and strength: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Confirmation, in which the Holy Ghost is given to strengthen us. Wherefore the disciples who were already baptized were bidden thus: "Stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high" (Luke 24:49). Thirdly, by nourishment, whereby life and strength are preserved to man; and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the Eucharist. Wherefore it is said (John 6:54): "Except you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you shall not have life in you." And this would be enough for man if he had an impassible life, both corporally and spiritually; but since man is liable at times to both corporal and spiritual infirmity, i.e. sin, hence man needs a cure from his infirmity; which cure is twofold. one is the healing, that restores health: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Penance, according to Psalm 40:5: "Heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee." The other is the restoration of former vigor by means of suitable diet and exercise: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Extreme Unction, which removes the remainder of sin, and prepares man for final glory. Wherefore it is written (James 5:15): "And if he be in sins they shall be forgiven him." In regard to the whole community, man is perfected in two ways. First, by receiving power to rule the community and to exercise public acts: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the sacrament of order, according to the saying of Hebrews 7:27, that priests offer sacrifices not for themselves only, but also for the people. Secondly in regard to natural propagation. This is accomplished by Matrimony both in the corporal and in the spiritual life: since it is not only a sacrament but also a function of nature. We may likewise gather the number of the sacraments from their being instituted as a remedy against the defect caused by sin. For Baptism is intended as a remedy against the absence of spiritual life; Confirmation, against the infirmity of soul found in those of recent birth; the Eucharist, against the soul's proneness to sin; Penance, against actual sin committed after baptism; Extreme Unction, against the remainders of sins—of those sins, namely, which are not sufficiently removed by Penance, whether through negligence or through ignorance; order, against divisions in the community; Matrimony, as a remedy against concupiscence in the individual, and against the decrease in numbers that results from death. Some, again, gather the number of sacraments from a certain adaptation to the virtues and to the defects and penal effects resulting from sin. They say that Baptism corresponds to Faith, and is ordained as a remedy against original sin; Extreme Unction, to Hope, being ordained against venial sin; the Eucharist, to Charity, being ordained against the penal effect which is malice. order, to Prudence, being ordained against ignorance; Penance to Justice, being ordained against mortal sin; Matrimony, to Temperance, being ordained against concupiscence; Confirmation, to Fortitude, being ordained against infirmity.

Curiosity Killed the Christian? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

St. Thomas Aquinas is a genius of thought and in this course for Catholic leaders I present a summary course on the four aspects of all human action essential for leadership.  In today’s class I focus in on the doing of deeds.  All leadership goes from vision into planning and from planning into execution.  Doing the great things we planned is the key to having impact in our lives.

Reacting to Brett Cooper's Thoughts on P0rn

Habemus Papam! The Church has a new pope—and he’s from Chicago.
In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob react with joy, awe, and a healthy dose of disbelief to the election of Pope Leo XIV, a South Side Chicago native and fellow “Bob.” The first American pontiff, Leo XIV is an Augustinian, missionary, canon lawyer, and lifelong baseball fan with deep roots in both Villanova and Peru. His election is already making waves—and memes.
Before diving into Vatican news, the hosts process a different kind of drama: sports heartbreak. Bob relives the Cleveland Cavaliers’ playoff collapse—one for the record books—and the deep disappointment that followed. Father Dave offers perspective (and a hopeful prediction) before they shift gears to highlight Franciscan University's Commencement weekend. From Mary Rice Hasson’s bold defense of the human person to Bishop Andrew Cozzens’ catechetical preaching, the event was a joyful witness to faith and truth.
Finally, they unpack the significance of the name Leo, what this new pope may prioritize, and how the legacy of Pope Leo XIII—with his groundbreaking encyclicals on labor, justice, and the Holy Spirit—may resonate in the years ahead.
From Chicago sports to conclave suspense, from Catholic memes to Marian devotion, this episode is a fast-paced blend of humor, reverence, and hope for the Church’s future under a pope who, as Bob puts it, “plays Wordle with his brother and orders from Wawa.”

7 Reasons to LOVE St. Thomas Aquinas

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?

When we decide to start following the Lord, it can be really tempting to allow our past to haunt us. But for husbands and fathers who provide for their families, it can be just as dangerous to have an unhealthy concern for the future. Whether we worry about the future or the past, we don’t take care of what’s happening right now. The solution? To quote Wayne’s World, we have to “Live in the ‘Now,’ Man!”

In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why you shouldn’t beat yourself up for the past (seriously, it’s a bad idea).
- How to provide for your family’s future without letting the future rule your life.
- What the Bible has to say about our past and future.
- And more!

The Captain

If there’s one thing that organizational leaders share in common it’s the need to know how to advance when no one else does.  Being at the top means being in charge and being at the top means making decisions that will influence the entire organization for the better or for the worse.  The goal, obviously, is to make decisions well and this ability is much more than instinct.  For the ancients, they called it the virtue of prudence.  I’d like to look at St. Thomas Aquinas and what his teaching on prudence has to teach us today.

DGT Episode 192 - Of Prudence And Kings - The Virtuous Leader Part 3

Jeff Cavins tells us about the man, the myth and the legend. From ordained minister in a charismatic church to a Catholic Bible Scholar. &nbsp;Hear about the activated disciple, his challenge to all Catholics and how evangelization can happen on any motorcycle. &nbsp;Jeff Cavins has an answer to the racial conflict in our society and the wicked that surround us pervert justice. You must hear the advice Jeff gives to his 18-year-old self. &nbsp;If you’re a young man, it will change your life.

A Dram with Jeff Cavins

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Vic talk about the kind of courage that can only come from the Holy Spirit.

Courage

In this episode you’ll learn:

- Ways to ask yourself the hard questions
- How to define true joy
- Suggestions for positive actions such as prayer and service.

Comfort

Again and again, we get stuck in our own weaknesses, failures, and the failures of others. It is time to lift your head, look to the cross and start marching forward. Yes, you are broken, but there will be a resurrection. You cannot stay in your tomb. Cry for help and move forward. 

In this episode, you will hear John and Victor say:

“Jesus came down here and broke his body”
“It’s time to admit that you're broken and not let that be who you are anymore.” 
“We need to be attentive to each other as the body of Christ” 
“We cannot heal ourselves, but we become our own jury and judge and executioner” 

“God didn't come into this earth and break his body, so we could stay in the position of lamenting over how messed up we are.”

On Detachment

Hey guys, today we're talking to Christ Stefanick about "wokism," cancel culture, and the other current trends that seek to separate us from Christ's mercy and love.

We'll learn that:
- Wokism doesn’t expand our view of reality, but instead causes anxiety and worry
- When we run the risk of being "canceled" over our beliefs, we must keep our focus on God’s mercy
- As Catholics, Jesus is the frame through which we view the world, and we shouldn’t be afraid to share His love and truth with others

Teenage Matt, Conversion, Music, and Horror (Emma Fradd) | Ep. 481

In addition to being a loving father and husband, Jason Deuterman serves as the Director of Strategic Consulting and Innovation Design for Our Sunday Visitor. This episode starts with some incredible stories of how Jason has been connected to the BeatiDudes for many years and a true confession from Nick Bezner. Jason then reflects on his work in helping to bring the new evangelization of the Catholic church to light, especially through his work at both the Diocese of Dallas and Our Sunday Visitor. Years ago, Jason and his team launched a unique young adult ministry called “The 635” - - a nod to the main road around the city of Dallas and a tribute to John 6:35. These events were held in an old theater near a set of bars and restaurants in East Dallas that created a welcoming atmosphere to those looking for a night of praise and worship. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of Hardened Criminal to address the prompt, “David’s secret weapon to defeat Goliath was….” The show continues with a discussion on professionalism within ministry work and the need for excellence in our crafts. The TBD Question for this episode – Reflect on a Holy Spirit moment in your life. On Reverse Simpsons, Jason is surprised by a game of This is Your Life featuring voice recordings from his friends with various messages. Jason must correctly guess the friend and share more details on each of their comments.

A CATHOLIC Shark Tank? | Jason Deuterman of the OSV Institute | Episode #039

Leading with daring might sound glorious but in practice it’s actually difficult to define.  How do we know when our daring is not rationale?  And where can we look to find the surety that we need to dare great thing for Christ?  In this fourth Leadership Lessons From The Saints we take a look at some of the comments by Jose Maria Escrivá.  Not only did St. Jose Maria dare something great for Christ but he described it as a virtue and a necessary component to anything that would call itself Christian leadership.

DGT Episode 286 - Daring With Jose Maria Escriva - Leadership Lessons From The Saints

For spiritual life has a certain conformity with the life of the body: just as other corporeal things have a certain likeness to things spiritual. Now a man attains perfection in the corporeal life in two ways: first, in regard to his own person; secondly, in regard to the whole community of the society in which he lives, for man is by nature a social animal. With regard to himself man is perfected in the life of the body, in two ways; first, directly [per se], i.e. by acquiring some vital perfection; secondly, indirectly [per accidens], i.e. by the removal of hindrances to life, such as ailments, or the like. Now the life of the body is perfected "directly," in three ways. First, by generation whereby a man begins to be and to live: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Baptism, which is a spiritual regeneration, according to Titus 3:5: "By the laver of regeneration," etc. Secondly, by growth whereby a man is brought to perfect size and strength: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Confirmation, in which the Holy Ghost is given to strengthen us. Wherefore the disciples who were already baptized were bidden thus: "Stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high" (Lk. 24:49). Thirdly, by nourishment, whereby life and strength are preserved to man; and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the Eucharist. Wherefore it is said (Jn. 6:54): "Except you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you shall not have life in you." And this would be enough for man if he had an impassible life, both corporally and spiritually; but since man is liable at times to both corporal and spiritual infirmity, i.e. sin, hence man needs a cure from his infirmity; which cure is twofold. one is the healing, that restores health: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Penance, according to Ps. 40:5: "Heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee." The other is the restoration of former vigor by means of suitable diet and exercise: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Extreme Unction, which removes the remainder of sin, and prepares man for final glory. Wherefore it is written (James 5:15): "And if he be in sins they shall be forgiven him." In regard to the whole community, man is perfected in two ways. First, by receiving power to rule the community and to exercise public acts: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the sacrament of order, according to the saying of Heb. 7:27, that priests offer sacrifices not for themselves only, but also for the people. Secondly in regard to natural propagation. This is accomplished by Matrimony both in the corporal and in the spiritual life: since it is not only a sacrament but also a function of nature. We may likewise gather the number of the sacraments from their being instituted as a remedy against the defect caused by sin. For Baptism is intended as a remedy against the absence of spiritual life; Confirmation, against the infirmity of soul found in those of recent birth; the Eucharist, against the soul's proneness to sin; Penance, against actual sin committed after baptism; Extreme Unction, against the remainders of sins---of those sins, namely, which are not sufficiently removed by Penance, whether through negligence or through ignorance; order, against divisions in the community; Matrimony, as a remedy against concupiscence in the individual, and against the decrease in numbers that results from death. Some, again, gather the number of sacraments from a certain adaptation to the virtues and to the defects and penal effects resulting from sin. They say that Baptism corresponds to Faith, and is ordained as a remedy against original sin; Extreme Unction, to Hope, being ordained against venial sin; the Eucharist, to Charity, being ordained against the penal effect which is malice. order, to Prudence, being ordained against ignorance; Penance to Justice, being ordained against mortal sin; Matrimony, to Temperance, being ordained against concupiscence; Confirmation, to Fortitude, being ordained against infirmity.

03: Why are there 7 sacraments?

Today we talk to our Lord's words, "let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid." And we see what Thomas Aquinas has to say on the matter. Also, here's the prayer I wanted to share with you. Father, I give you thanks, for you have qualified me to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. You have delivered me from the dominion of darkness and transferred me to the kingdom of your beloved Son in whom I have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. You are the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. By you all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through you and for you. And you are before all things, and in you all things hold together. You are the head of the body, the church. You are the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything you might be preeminent. For in you all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through you all things have been reconciled, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of your cross. And though I was once alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, you have now reconciled in your body of flesh by your death, in order to present me holy and blameless and above reproach before you.

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled | Bible Study W/ Aquinas

As Lent begins, Deacon Bob and Father Dave turn to the Gospel of Luke and the image of Jesus being led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit. From fasting and temptation to spiritual dryness and surrender, the hosts reflect on how the desert becomes a sacred space of encounter and transformation. 
This week’s episode moves from the spiritual to the political, as Father Dave shares his experience at the Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., and the launch of Franciscan’s Homeland Mission Program. Then, shifting gears, the episode dives into the controversial press conference between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, with reflections on humility, diplomacy, justice, and how Catholics can engage a divided political world without losing heart. 
Sprinkled in—as always—are the laughs: a breakdown of the NFL’s “tush push,” Cavaliers comebacks, the rise of phone booth boxing, and a surprising story about wrestling in a former church. 
As Lent invites us deeper into prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, this episode ends with a moving reflection on the Gospel and a reminder that even in our own deserts, the Spirit leads and God is present. 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Fasting, Cheeseburgers, and the Age of Exemption  
Father Dave reflects humorously on turning 60 and technically being <a href='https://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/liturgical-year-and-calendar/lent/catholic-information-on-lenten-fast-and-abstinence'>exempt from fasting</a>—though he still chooses to fast as a spiritual discipline. Deacon Bob playfully insists that doing what you don’t have to do is what makes it truly holy. 
(01:57) NFL Tush Push, Cavaliers Comebacks, and Sports Surprises  
The hosts dive into the NFL's controversial "<a href='https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/what-is-the-tush-push-how-eagles-execute-the-play-why-they-run-it-so-well-and-how-other-teams-fare/'>tush push</a>" play and debate whether it should be banned. They also celebrate the <a href='https://www.nba.com/cavaliers/'>Cleveland Cavaliers’</a> incredible comeback wins and share thoughts on how grit and teamwork shape great sports moments. 
(04:44) Phone Booth Boxing and Wrestling in Church?  
From <a href='https://sidekickboxing.co.uk/what-is-phone-booth-boxing/'>Romania’s newest combat sport</a> to a church-turned-MMA arena, the episode takes an absurd but entertaining detour. The discussion sparks deeper questions about sacred spaces and cultural trends that blur the lines between worship and spectacle. 
(06:10) Evangelization on the Road: Faith-Filled Uber Rides  
Bob and Father Dave share stories of surprising spiritual conversations with Uber drivers that opened doors to talk about faith, suffering, and the Trinity. These everyday moments reveal how simple encounters can become <a href='https://www.usccb.org/committees/evangelization-catechesis/evangelization'>grace-filled opportunities for evangelization</a>. 
(08:10) Franciscan in D.C.: Homeland Mission and Catholic Prayer Breakfast  
Father Dave describes the launch of <a href='https://franciscan.edu/homeland-mission/'>Franciscan’s Homeland Mission Program</a>, aimed at giving students faith-integrated experiences in public service. He also recounts the beauty and depth of the <a href='https://catholicprayerbreakfast.com/'>Catholic Prayer Breakfast</a>, including his encounter with JD Vance and a moving moment of public prayer. 
(11:29) Zelensky, Trump, and a Press Conference That Shook D.C.  
In one of the most talked-about political moments of the week, the hosts break down the <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajxSWocbye8'>tense exchange between Zelensky, Trump, and JD Vance</a>. The conversation opens up complex questions about justice, diplomacy, war, and how Catholics can engage with humility and integrity. 
(28:42) Into the Desert: Jesus’ Temptation and Our Lenten Journey  
Drawing from <a href='https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/4'>Luke 4</a>, the hosts reflect on Jesus’ hunger, vulnerability, and spiritual strength in the desert. They invite listeners to embrace Lent not as a burden, but as an opportunity to be led by the Spirit into a place of deeper encounter with God.

Into the Desert

In this episode, we’re getting real about something I know many of us wrestle with: the fear of fully committing our lives to Christ. Maybe you’ve felt that pull to go all-in but hesitated because of what it might cost you—relationships, your job, or even just the comfort of staying where you are. Trust me, I get it. But here’s the thing: while Jesus never sugarcoated the challenges of discipleship, He did promise something far greater—the eternal reward.

We’re diving into powerful scriptures like the story of the rich young man who walked away because he couldn’t let go of his possessions. We’ll talk about why counting the cost is important but how focusing on the reward—eternal life and true peace—can help us overcome those fears. Plus, I’m sharing some practical tips on how to live boldly as a disciple, including ways to deepen your prayer life and bring Jesus into every part of your day.

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

Regardless of what we have to say, our ability to say it is equally important.  If we cannot express what we have inside no one will listen to us anyway.  This is the great intuition of Saul Alinsky in “Rules For Radicals” where he outlines the words used by organizers, the education necessary for an organizer, and highlights the importance of their ability to communicate.  How does this relate to the Gospel?
