LOVE: What is it REALLY? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Jacob Imam and I are not what is described as "trads" and neither of us attends the Latin Mass on a regular basis, but we LOVE the reverence and beauty of the Latin, or Tridentine, Mass.

A few of the 7 reasons are: <ol> <li>The primacy of the Eucharistic sacrifice</li> <li>The quality of the homilies</li> <li>The formality of the mass and attendees</li> <li>The beauty of the Latin language and music ...and 3 more!</li> </ol> <a href="https://pints.mattfradd.com/pwa-confessions-signup/">Sign up for my free course on St. Augustine's "Confessions"!</a> SPONSORS Hallow: <a href="http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a> STRIVE: <a href="https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> Homeschool Connections: <a href="https://homeschoolconnections.com/matt/">https://homeschoolconnections.com/matt/</a> GIVING Patreon or Directly: <a href="https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/">https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/ </a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

Re-Evangelizing Ireland (Tony Foy) | Ep. 363

In this episode of A Reason For Hope&nbsp;Podcast, Dr. David Hajduk welcomes&nbsp;Monsignor Charles Pope, author of&nbsp;The Hell There Is, to discuss the often-overlooked&nbsp;Catholic teaching on Hell. They explore why the&nbsp;Catholic doctrine&nbsp;of&nbsp;eternal damnation&nbsp;matters for the&nbsp;Catholic faith&nbsp;today, and how the&nbsp;Church teaching on Hell&nbsp;is essential for understanding&nbsp;salvation,&nbsp;which was purchased for us&nbsp;by Jesus Christ. Monsignor shares insights from his ministry and writing, offering a challenging yet hopeful message for&nbsp;Catholic evangelization&nbsp;and&nbsp;Catholic hope. We talk about the&nbsp;fear of the Lord,&nbsp;Catholic morality, and the “last things”—death, judgment,&nbsp;heaven, and hell—and how recovering this teaching can renew&nbsp;Catholic culture&nbsp;and help us engage in&nbsp;spiritual warfare&nbsp;with courage. Monsignor Pope reminds us that&nbsp;judgment&nbsp;is not meant to paralyze us with fear, but to call us to deeper faith and trust in God’s mercy, leading us to the joy of Heaven. -Support our Sponsors-<a href="https://bit.ly/4btLSYF" target="_blank">Magnificat</a> - A simple way to transform the way you pray.<a href="https://bit.ly/44nYYUw" target="_blank">Scapulars.com</a> - Divine protection in life and death with the most durable, comfortable scapulars ever made. -Support Our Mission-<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/donate" target="_blank">Donate Here</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/events/" target="_blank">Book an Event</a> -Follow Us On Social Media-<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;">Facebook</a><a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;">Instagram</a><a href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCPH3snA7zc0XEv7f6LOUOPg" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">YouTube </a>&nbsp; ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction02:22 Conversation Starts03:07 The Role of Music in Monsignor's Faith and Vocation05:45 The Neglect of Hell in Modern Teaching10:37 Magnificat11:17 Scapulars.com12:02 Donate13:51 Recovering the plot of Sacred Scripture 18:40 Misunderstandings about Hell23:06 The Nature of God and Human Freedom28:03 The Consequences of Rejecting the Doctrine of Hell30:58 Universalism and Its Challenges34:03 Dispelling Teaching about Hell as Fear Mongering36:28 The Eternal Nature of Hell41:26 The Importance of Liturgy and Sacraments43:15 Restoring Balance: The Good News and Bad News

Season 2 Q&A with Father Martins

Kevin O'Brien shares his 5 principles of servant leadership. 
Kevin’s five principles are: do everything for the glory of God, you cannot give what you don’t have, have a sacrificial heart, pray as if everything depended on God, work as if everything depends on you, and transformation begins with truth. Watch to hear Kevin apply these principles through examples in his life as an executive and an evangelist. 


Servant Leadership

Most people are walking around feeling inferior to someone else. It might be because of social media, or criticism from others, or just constant negative self-talk. The truth is that we all have some negative voice either externally or internally that tells us we aren't good enough.
When we feel inferior to others, we often experience the urge to go find someone we can feel superior to in turn. And then comes the judging. We look down on other people and each other for the pettiest of reasons, just to make ourselves look and feel better. But we know we are called to higher living than this.
Today, we are challenging you to take a hard look at who/what makes you feel unworthy and who you might be looking down upon as a result of that. We want you to experience true humility, i.e. seeing yourself as God sees you. Come and join us in this pursuit of personal excellence as we examine what makes us so damn judgy all the time.

Why would anyone return to the Catholic faith?

What do typhoon evacuations, koala selfies, and second breakfast in Hobbiton have in common? They’ve all been part of Deacon Bob’s adventurous month. 
After a few weeks apart, Father Dave and Deacon Bob are back, swapping globe-trotting tales, ministry moments, and a surprisingly full slate of sports updates. Bob’s recent trip took him from the typhoon-swept Philippines to Singapore, Perth, Sydney, and a bucket-list stop in New Zealand’s Hobbiton (yes, complete with hobbit holes, the Green Dragon Inn, and second breakfast). 
Along the way, he preached to 90 youth leaders just hours after a typhoon hit, met a koala, saw kangaroos, and even met a listener named Rain who drove five hours just to hear him speak. There were plenty of memorable meals, from perfect pancakes to less-than-crispy bacon. 
Meanwhile, Father Dave stayed stateside, baptizing great-nieces (one walked to her own baptism), speaking at the Knights of Columbus Conference, and making a moving visit to the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine in Oklahoma City. He shares Rother’s remarkable story—from failing Latin in seminary, to obeying his bishop’s call to return to Guatemala, to his martyrdom in 1981—and the beauty of a shrine built right in the heart of the city it serves. 
Sports fans get plenty too: the debut of MLB’s first female umpire Jen Pawol (including her Hall of Fame–bound first pitch), Tom Brady’s towering new statue, and even a trivia challenge about the University of Michigan making draft history. 
Naturally, there are detours, including CGI vs. AI, bad sports statues, and ministry moments that transcended cultural boundaries. But through it all, the heart stays the same: joyfully sharing the Gospel, wherever God sends you (even if it’s to a sheep paddock in New Zealand). 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Sports, Schedules, and Saying Goodbye 
The guys open with bittersweet news about the podcast winding down, why recording has gotten harder, and an invitation for listeners to share favorite memories. They then go into the week’s light sports slate and review the <a href='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5950044/'>new Superman</a>. Even with the end in sight, their trademark banter is alive and well. 
 
(05:41) Football, Statues, and Sports Trivia 
Deacon Bob previews a Buccaneers-Steelers preseason game while Father Dave looks forward to Steelers training camp. They discuss <a href='https://www.boston.com/community/readers-say/2025/08/11/tom-brady-statue-reactions/'>Tom Brady’s towering statue</a> and celebrate <a href='https://www.mlb.com/video/jen-pawol-debuts-behind-the-plate'>Jen Pawol historic debut as MLB’s first female umpire</a>. The segment wraps with a trivia challenge about a university making draft history in all four major leagues. 
 
(15:44) From Typhoons to Hobbit Holes 
Bob recounts ministry in the Philippines, Perth, and New Zealand, including speaking to youth leaders <a href='https://apnews.com/article/typhoon-comay-philippines-9b0c191c63112a109b60b420b5917010'>after a typhoon</a> and connecting with alumni abroad. He describes <a href='https://www.hobbitontours.com/'>walking through the Shire set</a> from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, complete with hobbit holes and the Green Dragon Inn. Jenny may not be a huge fan of the films, but even she found the tour magical. 
 
(23:42) Sydney, Koalas, and the Ends of the Earth 
From welcoming bishops to preaching across cultures, Bob reflects on moments when the Holy Spirit’s anointing was tangible. He shares encounters with young adults, a koala, and a listener who drove five hours to hear him speak. Each stop reaffirmed the universal joy of sharing the Gospel. 
 
(25:42) Baptisms, Knights, and Blessed Stanley Rother 
Father Dave talks about baptizing his great-nieces and representing Franciscan University at the <a href='https://www.dckofc2025.com/'>Knights of Columbus Conference.</a> He shares the moving story of <a href='https://archokc.org/stanleyrother'>Blessed Stanley Rother</a> a missionary priest martyred in Guatemala, and describes visiting the shrine dedicated to him. The witness of Rother’s courage and devotion left a lasting impression. 
 
(32:37) Feast Days and a Chapel Blessing 
Looking ahead to the <a href='https://bustedhalo.com/ministry-resources/understanding-and-celebrating-the-feast-of-the-assumption'>Feast of the Assumption</a> they pray for peace amid global tensions. Father Dave previews the blessing of Franciscan University’s newly renovated Christ the King Chapel, while Bob outlines upcoming speaking engagements. The conversation closes with anticipation for the start of the school year.

Bob's Hobbit Adventure

Christian leaders have to do something difficult – we have to constantly balance asserting ourselves and using our talents and being humble before God.  Errors can happen in both ways either by not asserting ourselves or by losing sight of the service we render to Jesus.  St. Paul was not unaware of this challenge.  In First Timothy 5 and 6 he shows St. Timothy how to make this proper balance and exhorts him to lead while being friend to Christ.

Into the Breach 

Today Sam and John are joined by a dynamic speaker and expert on the subject of racism, Dcn. Harold Burke-Sivers. We are all aware of the ideological movements involving race in our society today, the Black Lives Matter Movement, Critical Race Theory, and White Privilege to name a few. So how are we as Catholic men supposed to navigate this very delicate and often heated topic? How do we avoid taking a passive, avoidance, or even subservient role on this issue and instead bring love and Christ into the conversation?🔴 All Things Dcn.

Racism and The Catholic Church Today (w/Dcn. Harold Burke-Sivers)

The BeatiDudes proudly welcome their hero and friend, Bill Sladek, for a look back at his life of service. Bill and his wife answer the call to help others and serve God daily with their time, talent, and treasure. Not only does this inspiring couple lend financial support to various organizations and serve as chairs for various fundraisers, but they also roll up their sleeves and get to work. They have cooked and served meals at the Ronald McDonald House every month for over 13 years. They helped to complete the physical renovation of the building, which now serves pregnant women in danger of homelessness, where Bill and his buddies continue to mow and maintain the lawn. The examples of service that Bill performs are almost as endless as the number of wristbands he wears in support of many people and causes. This show has a surprise opening as Jeff leads Paul, Bill, and Nick through a Jesuit Dallas quiz show full of twists and turns. The quiz helps reveal more about Bill and his incredible past. Bill and BeatiDudes also reflect on the powerful experiences each person had at the National Eucharistic Congress in July of 2024. Bill has been a commercial real estate attorney in Dallas for 39 years and is a partner with Condon Tobin Sladek Thornton Nerenberg PLLC. Bill is an alum of the University of Notre Dame (Class of 1982) and received his law degree in 1985 from the University of Texas School of Law.Bill is a proud member of the Jesuit Dallas Class of 1978 and is currently Chair of the Development Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas Foundation. Bill is also the current president of the Board of Directors of the Notre Dame School of Dallas and a member of the Board of Management of the Semones YMCA. Bill and Mary (his wife of 40 years) have chaired several charity events, including the Bishop’s Golf Tournament, the Catholic Charities Bishop’s Gala, the Catholic Pro-Life Community’s Bishop’s Gala, and the Holy Trinity Seminary’s Spes Gregis Gala.Bill and Mary, both Dallas natives, began dating while Mary was a junior at Ursuline and Bill was a senior at Jesuit. They have five children—four boys (Billy, Brendan, Brian, and Baby Brett, their Angel Baby) and one daughter (Maddie, an Ursuline alum). They are parishioners at St. Monica Catholic Church.On the Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on multiple personalities to address the prompt, “Seminarians talk about _____ after class.” Follow the <a href="https://www.firebreakerseries.com/">Firebreaker Series</a>Follow <a href="https://www.streamfio.com/">Fio</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</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>

How a Pentecostal Worship Pastor Became Catholic

How does the approach a Catholic takes towards leadership differ from the approach anyone else takes?  Does our faith in Christ make us better leaders?  In this third part on our series “The Christian Leader’s Advantage”, I examine the fact that Christians believe in eternal life, and I examine the practical ramifications that this belief has on our ability to lead others well.  Afterall, if Jesus Christ called us to lead and he called us to be Christians it’s because our Christianity has something wonderful to do with our leadership.  And I’d like to show you how.

DGT Episode 271 - An Eternal Perspective - The Christian Leader's Advantage Part 3

Today I sit down with philosopher, Dr. Frey to discuss life. A much more difficult issue than you might think. Here's two of the main texts' from Aquinas that Dr. Frey and I reference ... I bet if you read these excerpts after listening to the show they'll make a lot more sense. Please support my work (Thank you!) at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">patreon.com/mattfrad</a> --- Whether life is properly attributed to God? I answer that, Life is in the highest degree properly in God. In proof of which it must be considered that since a thing is said to live in so far as it operates of itself and not as moved by another, the more perfectly this power is found in anything, the more perfect is the life of that thing. In things that move and are moved, a threefold order is found. In the first place, the end moves the agent: and the principal agent is that which acts through its form, and sometimes it does so through some instrument that acts by virtue not of its own form, but of the principal agent, and does no more than execute the action. Accordingly there are things that move themselves, not in respect of any form or end naturally inherent in them, but only in respect of the executing of the movement; the form by which they act, and the end of the action being alike determined for them by their nature. Of this kind are plants, which move themselves according to their inherent nature, with regard only to executing the movements of growth and decay. Other things have self-movement in a higher degree, that is, not only with regard to executing the movement, but even as regards to the form, the principle of movement, which form they acquire of themselves. Of this kind are animals, in which the principle of movement is not a naturally implanted form; but one received through sense. Hence the more perfect is their sense, the more perfect is their power of self-movement. Such as have only the sense of touch, as shellfish, move only with the motion of expansion and contraction; and thus their movement hardly exceeds that of plants. Whereas such as have the sensitive power in perfection, so as to recognize not only connection and touch, but also objects apart from themselves, can move themselves to a distance by progressive movement. Yet although animals of the latter kind receive through sense the form that is the principle of their movement, nevertheless they cannot of themselves propose to themselves the end of their operation, or movement; for this has been implanted in them by nature; and by natural instinct they are moved to any action through the form apprehended by sense. Hence such animals as move themselves in respect to an end they themselves propose are superior to these. This can only be done by reason and intellect; whose province it is to know the proportion between the end and the means to that end, and duly coordinate them. Hence a more perfect degree of life is that of intelligible beings; for their power of self-movement is more perfect. This is shown by the fact that in one and the same man the intellectual faculty moves the sensitive powers; and these by their command move the organs of movement. Thus in the arts we see that the art of using a ship, i.e. the art of navigation, rules the art of ship-designing; and this in its turn rules the art that is only concerned with preparing the material for the ship. But although our intellect moves itself to some things, yet others are supplied by nature, as are first principles, which it cannot doubt; and the last end, which it cannot but will. Hence, although with respect to some things it moves itself, yet with regard to other things it must be moved by another. Wherefore that being whose act of understanding is its very nature, and which, in what it naturally possesses, is not determined by another, must have life in the most perfect degree. Such is God; and hence in Him principally is life. From this the Philosopher concludes (Metaph. xii, 51), after showing God to be intelligent, that God has life most perfect and eternal, since His intellect is most perfect and always in act. ST I, Q. 18, A. 3 --- Whether death and other bodily defects are the result of sin? I answer that, One thing causes another in two ways: first, by reason of itself; secondly, accidentally. By reason of itself, one thing is the cause of another, if it produces its effect by reason of the power of its nature or form, the result being that the effect is directly intended by the cause. Consequently, as death and such like defects are beside the intention of the sinner, it is evident that sin is not, of itself, the cause of these defects. Accidentally, one thing is the cause of another if it causes it by removing an obstacle: thus it is stated in Phys. viii, text. 32, that "by displacing a pillar a man moves accidentally the stone resting thereon." In this way the sin of our first parent is the cause of death and all such like defects in human nature, in so far as by the sin of our first parent original justice was taken away, whereby not only were the lower powers of the soul held together under the control of reason, without any disorder whatever, but also the whole body was held together in subjection to the soul, without any defect, as stated in the I:97:1. Wherefore, original justice being forfeited through the sin of our first parent; just as human nature was stricken in the soul by the disorder among the powers, as stated above (Article 3; I-II:82:3), so also it became subject to corruption, by reason of disorder in the body. Now the withdrawal of original justice has the character of punishment, even as the withdrawal of grace has. Consequently, death and all consequent bodily defects are punishments of original sin. And although the defects are not intended by the sinner, nevertheless they are ordered according to the justice of God Who inflicts them as punishments. Reply to Objection 1. Causes that produce their effects of themselves, if equal, produce equal effects: for if such causes be increased or diminished, the effect is increased or diminished. But equal causes of an obstacle being removed, do not point to equal effects. For supposing a man employs equal force in displacing two columns, it does not follow that the movements of the stones resting on them will be equal; but that one will move with greater velocity, which has the greater weight according to the property of its nature, to which it is left when the obstacle to its falling is removed. Accordingly, when original justice is removed, the nature of the human body is left to itself, so that according to diverse natural temperaments, some men's bodies are subject to more defects, some to fewer, although original sin is equal in all. Reply to Objection 2. Both original and actual sin are removed by the same cause that removes these defects, according to the Apostle (Romans 8:11): "He . . . shall quicken . . . your mortal bodies, because of His Spirit that dwelleth in you": but each is done according to the order of Divine wisdom, at a fitting time. Because it is right that we should first of all be conformed to Christ's sufferings, before attaining to the immortality and impassibility of glory, which was begun in Him, and by Him acquired for us. Hence it behooves that our bodies should remain, for a time, subject to suffering, in order that we may merit the impassibility of glory, in conformity with Christ. Reply to Objection 3. Two things may be considered in actual sin, the substance of the act, and the aspect of fault. As regards the substance of the act, actual sin can cause a bodily defect: thus some sicken and die through eating too much. But as regards the fault, it deprives us of grace which is given to us that we may regulate the acts of the soul, but not that we may ward off defects of the body, as original justice did. Wherefore actual sin does not cause those defects, as original sin does. Article 6. Whether death and other defects are natural to man? Objection 1. It would seem that death and such like defects are natural to man. For "the corruptible and the incorruptible differ generically" (Metaph. x, text. 26). But man is of the same genus as other animals which are naturally corruptible. Therefore man is naturally corruptible. Objection 2. Further, whatever is composed of contraries is naturally corruptible, as having within itself the cause of corruption. But such is the human body. Therefore it is naturally corruptible. Objection 3. Further, a hot thing naturally consumes moisture. Now human life is preserved by hot and moist elements. Since therefore the vital functions are fulfilled by the action of natural heat, as stated in De Anima ii, text. 50, it seems that death and such like defects are natural to man. On the contrary, (1) God made in man whatever is natural to him. Now "God made not death" (Wisdom 1:13). Therefore death is not natural to man. (2) Further, that which is natural cannot be called either a punishment or an evil: since what is natural to a thing is suitable to it. But death and such like defects are the punishment of original sin, as stated above (Article 5). Therefore they are not natural to man. (3) Further, matter is proportionate to form, and everything to its end. Now man's end is everlasting happiness, as stated above (I-II:2:7; I-II:5:3-4): and the form of the human body is the rational soul, as was proved in the I:75:6. Therefore the human body is naturally incorruptible. I answer that, We may speak of any corruptible thing in two ways; first, in respect of its universal nature, secondly, as regards its particular nature. A thing's particular nature is its own power of action and self-preservation. And in respect of this nature, every corruption and defect is contrary to nature, as stated in De Coelo ii, text. 37, since this power tends to the being and preservation of the thing to which it belongs. On the other hand, the universal nature is an active force in some universal principle of nature, for instance in some heavenly body; or again belonging to some superior substance, in which sense God is said by some to be "the Nature Who makes nature." This force intends the good and the preservation of the universe, for which alternate generation and corruption in things are requisite: and in this respect corruption and defect in things are natural, not indeed as regards the inclination of the form which is the principle of being and perfection, but as regards the inclination of matter which is allotted proportionately to its particular form according to the discretion of the universal agent. And although every form intends perpetual being as far as it can, yet no form of a corruptible being can achieve its own perpetuity, except the rational soul; for the reason that the latter is not entirely subject to matter, as other forms are; indeed it has an immaterial operation of its own, as stated in the I:75:2. Consequently as regards his form, incorruption is more natural to man than to other corruptible things. But since that very form has a matter composed of contraries, from the inclination of that matter there results corruptibility in the whole. In this respect man is naturally corruptible as regards the nature of his matter left to itself, but not as regards the nature of his form. The first three objections argue on the side of the matter; while the other three argue on the side of the form. Wherefore in order to solve them, we must observe that the form of man which is the rational soul, in respect of its incorruptibility is adapted to its end, which is everlasting happiness: whereas the human body, which is corruptible, considered in respect of its nature, is, in a way, adapted to its form, and, in another way, it is not. For we may note a twofold condition in any matter, one which the agent chooses, and another which is not chosen by the agent, and is a natural condition of matter. Thus, a smith in order to make a knife, chooses a matter both hard and flexible, which can be sharpened so as to be useful for cutting, and in respect of this condition iron is a matter adapted for a knife: but that iron be breakable and inclined to rust, results from the natural disposition of iron, nor does the workman choose this in the iron, indeed he would do without it if he could: wherefore this disposition of matter is not adapted to the workman's intention, nor to the purpose of his art. In like manner the human body is the matter chosen by nature in respect of its being of a mixed temperament, in order that it may be most suitable as an organ of touch and of the other sensitive and motive powers. Whereas the fact that it is corruptible is due to a condition of matter, and is not chosen by nature: indeed nature would choose an incorruptible matter if it could. But God, to Whom every nature is subject, in forming man supplied the defect of nature, and by the gift of original justice, gave the body a certain incorruptibility, as was stated in the I:97:1. It is in this sense that it is said that "God made not death," and that death is the punishment of sin. - ST I-II, Q. 85, A. 6 SPONSORS EL Investments: <a href="https://www.elinvestments.net/pints">https://www.elinvestments.net/pints</a> Exodus 90: <a href="https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/">https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/</a> Hallow: <a href="http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a> STRIVE: <a href="https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> GIVING Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

143: What is life? With Christopher Frey

In this week’s episode, John welcomes Dr. John Bergsma—convert, theologian, and professor at Franciscan University of Steubenville—for a rich conversation on faith, scripture, and the Church’s 2025 Jubilee Year.

Dr. Bergsma shares his journey from Protestant pastor to Catholic scholar, and how reading the Bible deeply led him not away from the Church, but straight into it. Together, he and John unpack the meaning of Jubilee, not as a dusty Old Testament tradition, but as a living call to forgiveness, freedom, and restoration.

If you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between scripture and tradition—or if you’re ready for a deeper understanding of how the Church invites us into hope—this one’s for you.

How the Rosary Led a Family to Catholicism

If faith casts out fear and fear is the beginning of wisdom, does that mean faith casts out the beginning of wisdom? We'll talk about three types of fear: servile, filial, and reverential. --- HUGE THANKS to the following Patrons: Tom Dickson, Jack Buss, Sean McNicholl, Jed Florstat, Daniel Szafran, Phillip Hadden Katie Kuchar, Phillipe Ortiz, Russell T Potee, Sarah Jacob, Fernando Enrile --- Fear is a movement of the appetitive power, as stated above (I-II:41:1). Now the principle of all appetitive movements is the good or evil apprehended: and consequently the principle of fear and of every appetitive movement must be an apprehension. Again, through faith there arises in us an apprehension of certain penal evils, which are inflicted in accordance with the Divine judgment. On this way, then, faith is a cause of the fear whereby one dreads to be punished by God; and this is servile fear. It is also the cause of filial fear, whereby one dreads to be separated from God, or whereby one shrinks from equalling oneself to Him, and holds Him in reverence, inasmuch as faith makes us appreciate God as an unfathomable and supreme good, separation from which is the greatest evil, and to which it is wicked to wish to be equalled. Of the first fear, viz. servile fear, lifeless faith is the cause, while living faith is the cause of the second, viz. filial fear, because it makes man adhere to God and to be subject to Him by charity.

Heroic Brotherhood Summit 2020

The second letter to St. Timothy is one of St. Paul’s most important letters.  Written at the end of his life, St. Paul leaves a legacy in the heart of Timothy for how he sees good leadership.  It remains for us an amazing example of God’s teaching for us on the power and truth of our own leadership and gives us valuable insights on what it means to please Christ by being a good soldier for Him.

DGT Episode 163 - Christ‘s Good Soldier - St. Paul‘s Leadership Legacy II Part 2

As Chief Operating Officer for Young Catholic Professionals (YCP), Peter Blute manages national and chapter operations, expansion efforts, brand and marketing efforts, and volunteer support. He received his Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Dallas and then spent two years working in Rome and traveling across Europe as a staff member on UD’s study-abroad campus. After returning to Dallas, he worked in marketing and sales efforts prior to joining the YCP apostolate in 2014 as the non-profit’s second full-time employee.Fair warning – this show is off the rails when it comes to humor, according to the number of times the BeatiDudes “lose it” in laughter. Peter and his wife are expecting the birth of their third child later this year which leads to an interesting conversation about the best way to explain children in utero. This turns into an entire deep dive about kids, names, parenting, and a wild ride of generational references. The BeatiDudes have to pull another hard right turn to get back on track with a game of Blessed are the Joke Makers. As a cult leader, the Dudes must answer the question, “I saw visions of [blank] after [blank]." After the break, the Dudes dive into more about the purpose and impact of the Young Catholic Professionals. This fast-growing group helps young adults to recognize and remember that every moment of work can be an act of holiness and prayer. To date, YCP has expanded to 33 cities and will be in 50+ cities by the end of 2024. For today’s TBD Question, Peter and the Dudes address the question, “Tell us about one of your business heroes.” Episode references:Books – <a href="https://amzn.to/3Pkm7l7">Everybody Matters </a>by Bob Chapman, <a href="https://amzn.to/3NcNyKY">Steve Jobs</a> by Walter Isaacson<a href="https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a29871607/tom-junod-mister-rogers-a-beautiful-day-in-the-neighborhood-true-story/">Esquire article about Mr. Rogers</a>The show concludes with a special Reverse Simpsons called What’s the Opposite of a Chicken Wing?<h2>Follow YCP</h2><a href="https://www.youngcatholicprofessionals.org/">Young Catholic Professionals</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a>http://www.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>

What Can Demons Do? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

In-Depth Talks

Sometimes leaders feel like they have to be perfect.  It can be good, however, to study the times that leaders aren’t perfect.  Seeing that God shows mercy to us even when we are imperfect can encourage us to continue to lead even during difficult times.  In Part 3 of our series “Where Leaders Fail” we read about Moses.  Just like we can learn from his wonderful deeds, we can also learn from his weaknesses.

The Leibnizian Cosmological Argument (Michael Jones from "Inspiring Philosophy") | Ep. 259

Why Heroic Men

In this episode, we also dive deep into the importance of our words. 💬 

Our words have the power to build up or tear down, to nurture or destroy. We reflect on how critical it is to be mindful of how we speak to our loved ones. Whether it's encouraging our children, communicating with our spouses, or interacting with others, our words carry significant weight. 

John shares personal stories, including a heartfelt moment with his daughter, emphasizing the impact of choosing kindness and understanding over harshness and impatience.

Bible verses for reflection 📚

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. - Ephesians 4:29

There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. - Proverbs 12:18

Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin - Proverbs 13:3

If any one thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is vain. - James 1:26

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer - Psalm 19:14

Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body - Proverbs 16:14

Quotes mentioned in this episode 💬

“Great are the faults committed by the tongue. The soul will not attain sanctity if it does not keep watch over its tongue” - St Faustina

“I have made a pact with my tongue, not to speak when my heart is disturbed" - St Francis de Sales

“I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned”- Matthew 12:36

On Becoming Fathers

Objection 1. It seems that God does not exist; because if one of two contraries be infinite, the other would be altogether destroyed. But the word "God" means that He is infinite goodness. If, therefore, God existed, there would be no evil discoverable; but there is evil in the world. Therefore God does not exist. Reply to Objection 1. As Augustine says (Enchiridion xi): "Since God is the highest good, He would not allow any evil to exist in His works, unless His omnipotence and goodness were such as to bring good even out of evil." This is part of the infinite goodness of God, that He should allow evil to exist, and out of it produce good.

13: Does evil disprove the existence of God?

&quot;Greed is the disordered love of riches.&quot; Join us for an illuminating conversation with Will Murley, a former Catholic missionary turned financial advisor, about developing a healthy relationship with money as Christians. Our discussion explores: - The challenge of balancing financial prudence with Christian values- How capitalism can serve good ends when guided by moral principles- Why provision and financial planning matter for Catholic families- The importance of regular giving in maintaining spiritual health- Finding peace through proper ordering of wealth and faith- Special considerations for Catholic financial planning- Transferring wisdom and wealth across generations- Building a career in finance while staying true to Catholic values Will shares insights from his unique journey from missionary work to financial planning, and how his faith shapes his approach to helping families manage wealth. Whether you&#39;re uncomfortable talking about money or seeking to align your finances with your faith, this conversation offers practical wisdom for Christians navigating wealth in our consumerist culture. This episode serves as a reminder that while money itself is morally neutral, our relationship with it deeply impacts our spiritual life. As Christians, we&#39;re called to be good stewards of our resources while keeping Christ at the center of our financial decisions.

It is written (Sirach 15:14): "God made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his own counsel"; and the gloss adds: "That is of his free-will." I answer that, Man has free-will: otherwise counsels, exhortations, commands, prohibitions, rewards, and punishments would be in vain. In order to make this evident, we must observe that some things act without judgment; as a stone moves downwards; and in like manner all things which lack knowledge. And some act from judgment, but not a free judgment; as brute animals. For the sheep, seeing the wolf, judges it a thing to be shunned, from a natural and not a free judgment, because it judges, not from reason, but from natural instinct. And the same thing is to be said of any judgment of brute animals. But man acts from judgment, because by his apprehensive power he judges that something should be avoided or sought. But because this judgment, in the case of some particular act, is not from a natural instinct, but from some act of comparison in the reason, therefore he acts from free judgment and retains the power of being inclined to various things. For reason in contingent matters may follow opposite courses, as we see in dialectic syllogisms and rhetorical arguments. Now particular operations are contingent, and therefore in such matters the judgment of reason may follow opposite courses, and is not determinate to one. And forasmuch as man is rational is it necessary that man have a free-will. ST. I, Q. 83, A. 1. Does God know future contingent things? God knows all things; not only things actual but also things possible to Him and creature; and since some of these are future contingent to us, it follows that God knows future contingent things. In evidence of this, we must consider that a contingent thing can be considered in two ways; first, in itself, in so far as it is now in act: and in this sense it is not considered as future, but as present; neither is it considered as contingent (as having reference) to one of two terms, but as determined to one; and on account of this it can be infallibly the object of certain knowledge, for instance to the sense of sight, as when I see that Socrates is sitting down. In another way a contingent thing can be considered as it is in its cause; and in this way it is considered as future, and as a contingent thing not yet determined to one; forasmuch as a contingent cause has relation to opposite things: and in this sense a contingent thing is not subject to any certain knowledge. Hence, whoever knows a contingent effect in its cause only, has merely a conjectural knowledge of it. Now God knows all contingent things not only as they are in their causes, but also as each one of them is actually in itself. And although contingent things become actual successively, nevertheless God knows contingent things not successively, as they are in their own being, as we do but simultaneously. The reason is because His knowledge is measured by eternity, as is also His being; and eternity being simultaneously whole comprises all time, as said above (I:10:2). Hence all things that are in time are present to God from eternity, not only because He has the types of things present within Him, as some say; but because His glance is carried from eternity over all things as they are in their presentiality. Hence it is manifest that contingent things are infallibly known by God, inasmuch as they are subject to the divine sight in their presentiality; yet they are future contingent things in relation to their own causes.

Steven W. Mosher is an internationally recognized authority on China and population issues, as well as an acclaimed author and speaker. He has worked tirelessly since 1979 to fight coercive population control programs and has helped hundreds of thousands of women and families worldwide over the years.
 
In 1979, Steven was the first American social scientist to visit mainland China. He was invited there by the Chinese government, where he had access to government documents and actually witnessed women being forced to have abortions under the new “one-child policy.” Mr. Mosher was a pro-choice atheist at the time, but witnessing these traumatic abortions led him to reconsider his convictions and to eventually become a practicing, pro-life Roman Catholic.
 
Steven has appeared numerous times before Congress as an expert in world population, China, and human rights abuses. He has also made TV appearances on Fox News, Good Morning America, 60 Minutes, The Today Show, 20/20, and CNN news, as well as being a regular guest on talk radio shows across the nation.
 
He is also the author of the best-selling A Mother’s Ordeal: One Woman’s Fight Against China’s One-Child Policy. His other books include Population Control: Real Costs and Illusory Benefits, Hegemon: China’s Plan to Dominate Asia and the World, China Attacks, China Misperceived: American Illusions and Chinese Reality, Journey to the Forbidden China, and Broken Earth: The Rural Chinese.
 
Articles by Steve have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Reader’s Digest, The New Republic, The Washington Post, National Review, Reason, The Asian Wall Street Journal, Freedom Review, Linacre Quarterly, Catholic World Report, Human Life Review, First Things, and numerous other publications.
 
Steven Mosher lives in Ave Maria with his wife, Vera. He has nine children.

A Dram With Kevin O’Brien

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.

Modernism, Social Media, and Remaining Catholic (Brian Holdsworth) | Ep. 431

Viva Cristo Rey!
More than a rallying cry, it echoes through history as the final words of a martyr, a witness of faith, and the heartbeat of this week’s episode. 
Father Dave returns from a pilgrimage to Mexico, where he visited the tomb of Blessed Miguel Pro and stood in the very place where the young priest was executed for celebrating Mass in secret. With deep reverence, he shares the powerful story of Miguel’s final words, “Viva Cristo Rey”, and invites listeners to consider the courage of living and dying for Christ. Meanwhile, Deacon Bob celebrates a different kind of sacramental moment: the baptism of his grandson, a joyful reminder that every life in Christ begins with water and grace. 
Of course, there’s plenty of humor, sports updates, and spiritual tangents along the way; from NFL heartbreaks to papal baptisms in the Sistine Chapel, from dry-fit habits to the not-so-ordinary season of Ordinary Time. 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) NFL Disappointments and Grandson Joy  
The episode opens with mixed emotions: Deacon Bob’s <a href='https://www.buccaneers.com/'>Tampa Bay Bucs</a> and Father Dave’s <a href='https://www.denverbroncos.com/'>Denver Broncos</a> are out of the playoffs, but there’s great joy as Deacon Bob baptizes his grandson, Oliver Augustine. It’s a beautiful blend of sorrow and celebration—and a reminder that grace is found even in the midst of letdowns. 
(06:48) Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Football as Family  
With <a href='https://fightingirish.com/'>Notre Dame</a> heading to the national championship, Father Dave reflects on what this moment means to him personally. The game brings back memories of his father, his childhood, and the deeper connection sports can create across generations. 
(17:28) Pilgrimage to Guadalupe and the Witness of Blessed Miguel Pro  
Father Dave shares deeply moving stories from his recent pilgrimage to <a href='https://www.planeta.com/mexico-city-basilica/'>Our Lady of Guadalupe</a>, highlighting the martyrdom of <a href='https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-of-the-day/blessed-miguel-agustin-pro/'>Blessed Miguel Pro</a>. From disguises and hidden Masses to the ultimate sacrifice, Miguel’s fearless cry—“Viva Cristo Rey!”—offers a timeless witness of faith under fire. 
(21:19) Baptism: Grace, Sacrament, and the Heart of the Church  
The hosts dive into a rich <a href='https://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/sacraments-and-sacramentals/baptism'>theological reflection on baptism</a>, emphasizing its foundational role in the Christian life. They share personal stories—from Deacon Bob’s family to Father Dave’s hospital ministry—revealing how baptism is a sacrament of both life and eternal hope. 
(26:10) Ordinary Time: Living the Gospel Daily  
<a href='https://www.usccb.org/prayer-worship/liturgical-year/ordinary-time'>Ordinary Time</a> isn’t ordinary at all. Father Dave and Deacon Bob unpack how this liturgical season, rooted in the public ministry of Jesus, calls us to deeper discipleship and attentiveness to the holiness of daily life. 
(33:30) Signs of Hope: From Martyrs to Athletes  
To kick off the <a href='https://www.usccb.org/jubilee2025'>Year of Hope</a>, the hosts share uplifting stories of faith—like young athletes openly praising God, a community praying amid wildfire devastation, and the unexpected rise in Bible sales among young adults. It’s a reminder that in a chaotic world, hope is alive and visible in big and small ways.

S2-Case #11-Live Free-Pt 2

This episode starts with an apology and an update. It’s been a wild stretch—hospital visits, birthday mishaps, broken teeth, truck trouble, cows and pigs headed to the processor—but also a lot of grace and gratitude.Adam shares about Lady Haylee's recent medical scare during pregnancy, the prayers from patrons, and what it’s like to walk through real uncertainty as a husband and father. The guys reflect on how quickly life can tilt from “normal” to “barely holding it together,” and yet how God can still anchor everything in hope and gratitude.Over whiskey (a Pseudo Sue malt from Iowa), Adam and David shift into the main topic: spiritual blindness—how easy it is for men to be convinced we’re right, standing for the truth, and yet be totally off the mark.Drawing from Scripture, the lives of the apostles, St. John of the Cross, Aquinas, and even Dante, they explore:<h4>In This Episode:</h4><ul><li>Real-life trials and gratitude</li><li>Haley’s hospitalization and recovery</li><li>Kids’ birthdays, chipped teeth, and car trouble</li><li>How chaos at home can either crush us or deepen our trust in God</li><li>Miracles, doubt, and the desire for “proof”</li><li>“If God would just give us a miracle, evangelization would be easy”</li><li>The everyday miracles we ignore: the Eucharist, confession, conversions</li><li>Why even those who saw Jesus’ miracles still doubted and fled</li><li>Spiritual blindness in the apostles and in us</li><li>Peter’s “I’ll never deny you” moment—and the fall that followed</li><li>The apostles missing who Jesus really is, even after years of walking with Him</li><li>Looking back on friendships and seasons of life and realizing, “I was blind to how unhealthy that really was”</li><li>How our culture and attachments distort our judgment</li><li>Bringing politics into our faith and letting ideology outrank the Gospel</li><li>The overworking dad: when “providing” becomes an excuse to avoid the harder work of fatherhood</li><li>Attachment to success, busyness, and being “the guy” who makes everything happen</li><li>The “theology guy” who knows tons about the faith but never actually prays or serves</li><li>St. John of the Cross and Aquinas on blindness of mind</li><li>Disordered attachments as a cause of spiritual blindness</li><li>Misapplying first principles and deforming prudence</li><li>Why ignorance isn’t always innocent—especially when it’s chosen</li><li>Dante, betrayal, and why some wounds cut so deep</li><li>Why Dante places traitors and betrayers at the bottom of hell</li><li>The pain of realizing someone you trusted was not who you thought</li><li>How misplaced trust in people can tempt us to distrust God</li><li>Practical ways to grow in spiritual clarity</li><li>Daily (or even twice-daily) examination of conscience</li><li>Honest fraternal correction and asking your friends to tell you the truth</li><li>Living a real ascetical life: fasting, temperance, and taming appetites</li><li>Submitting your judgment to the Church instead of making yourself the standard</li><li>Turning to the sacraments—especially confession and the Eucharist—for renewed vision</li></ul> Along the way, you’ll also hear:<ul><li>A story about accidentally using cardamom instead of cinnamon on a first date</li><li>The strangely satisfying joy of a perfectly vacuumed game room</li><li>The quiet fulfillment of husbandry—raising animals, caring for land, and stewarding what God has given</li></ul> This episode is an invitation to ask hard questions:<ul><li>Where am I convinced I’m right, but might be deeply wrong?</li><li>What am I attached to that clouds my judgment?</li><li>Who do I trust enough to tell me what I don’t see about myself?</li></ul> If you’ve ever looked back on a season of life and thought, “How did I not see that?”—this conversation is for you.

Turns out that for Episode 138, I accidentally posted the audio to a previous episode...ooops!&nbsp;
Here is the episode that was supposed to be posted back on April 25th!&nbsp;
 
This is the old caption that still applies:&nbsp;
Integrity and Respect. We almost always look at integrity and respect in regards to our relationship to others. We desire the people we know, and even the people we don't know who know of us, to determine that we are people of integrity and worthy of their respect and admiration.&nbsp;
But what about self-respect? Violating your own integrity is more damaging, in many ways, to your view of yourself than the view others have of you.&nbsp;
The world today tells you to always accept yourself as you are. That you are perfect and wonderful and there's no need to strive for anything, no need to change.&nbsp;
But you know that's bullshit. So today we are talking about the need to face your fears. We're talking about avoiding things that you hate, the things that make you dislike yourself. Creating a life worth of respect, especially self-respect, requires both saying yes to the things we ought to do and no to the things we shouldn't do.&nbsp;

Ep 150 | Confront Your Fears

Join us in the pew this week as John and Victor reflect on their own seasons of hopelessness and what it means to feel stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break—whether it’s addiction, broken relationships, or the crushing belief that things will never get better.

But despair isn't the end. They also discuss that with Christ, you can fight for hope, even when you can’t feel it. When you keep showing up in prayer, the sacraments, scripture, and community, John and Victor share how choosing hope—even a hundred times a day—is the most courageous thing a man can do.

If you take anything from this podcast, know that you are not alone. Despair doesn’t get the final word when you place your trust in Christ and rely on the grace of the Holy Spirit.

123: The role of the Holy Spirit in the life of Christ, with Fr. Dominic Legge, OP

Activated Disciple
Dwight Whitach shares about his experience of riding with the Riders in the Storm, who is also a longtime member of the group. The original invitation to be part of the ride came from Jeff Cavins, who wrote the book and coined the phrase, “Activated Disciple” &nbsp;Dwight talks about how this group of older men strive to invite younger men to be engaged in their faith life and community and how it has helped to form his image of being a true disciple of Christ.
