WOF 384: Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie: A Conversation

Heading into the Thanksgiving weekend, It's Word of God Wednesday and we want to set our hearts for this Sunday which is the 1st Sunday or Advent. In addition to Soulful Psalm 25:17-22, we are looking at Advent.

1st Sunday of Advent

Many people want to know how we can keep a balance between working in the world and keeping our faith. This is why many people doubt the vocation of the Catholic business leader.  Fr. Nathan looks in today’s gospel to how Jesus responds to that question. By cleansing the temple and specifically by giving to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.

DGT Episode 1 - Family and Profession Because of Faith - Mark 11-12

Summary In this episode, Nathan Crankfield discusses the critical importance of being selective about who we take advice from.  He emphasizes that advice should come from individuals who have achieved success in the areas we seek guidance in, while also acknowledging the value of learning from those who have faced failures.  Nathan advocates for building a diverse board of advisors to navigate life&#39;s challenges effectively, highlighting the balance between seeking multiple perspectives and avoiding information overload. Takeaways -Be intentional about who you seek advice from.-Advice should come from those who are successful in relevant areas.-Learning from failures can be as valuable as learning from successes.-Avoid taking advice from people who are not where you want to be.-Having multiple counselors can lead to better decision-making.-It&#39;s important to have a diverse board of advisors for different life areas.-You can learn from mentors, even if you don&#39;t know them personally.-Your board of directors should include people who genuinely care about your success.-Don&#39;t default to family or friends for advice without considering their qualifications.-You are the CEO of your life; choose your advisors wisely.

Today’s magnificent solemnity of the Assumption of Mary into heaven began back in the Garden of Eden.  In God's mind from all eternity, when He decided to create beings made in His image and likeness, and fill them with the gift of His life-giving love, it is within a woman's being--within her heart and soul--where His love first established a foundation and home.  The spirituality of a woman is rooted in the fact that she is the heart of love and through her special and unique relationship with the Holy Spirit (as one who gives life), a woman is truly the example of what it means to be fully human.  
Deacon Harold shares more as well as Soulful Psalm 27:11-14

Men, we are losing the battle because too many of us are sitting on the sidelines. In this powerful episode, I sit down with Jonathan Kuplak, co-founder of <a href="https://www.sebaste.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Sebaste</a>, to talk about fighting back, breaking free from mediocrity, and choosing the cross in our daily lives. From running 214-mile endurance races to leading life-changing summer intensives for young men, he embodies what it means to get in the arena and stay there, even when you get knocked down.Sebaste is raising up a generation of Catholic men who refuse comfort, refuse passivity, and refuse to be sedated by the world. Instead, they are choosing discipline, brotherhood, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of sanctity.The challenge I issue in this episode is simple and direct: stop making excuses, get up, and get back in the fight.

Ep 166 - Get in the Arena - Jonathan Kuplak on Fighting Comfort, Choosing the Cross, and Becoming Saints

“Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; for His love endures forever.” The lesson for us is that God has ways of rewarding those who are generous with what they have received from Him.  We come together this morning in the ultimate act of thanksgiving, the Holy Eucharist, which literally means “thanksgiving.”  Deacon Harold talks about this and also looking into Soulful Psalm 145:1-9.

What Are You Thankful For?

Reflection: Joseph's long silence endured God's timing. Patience, part of fortitude, serenely awaits the arduous good. Daily Challenge: Patiently wait in a frustrating situation, praying inwardly. Prayer: St. Joseph, patient waiter, steady my impatience.

Fr. Martins Answers Questions On The End Times, Demonic Obsession and Spiritual Warfare

The 5th Bishop of the Diocese of Tyler and longtime friend of The BeatiDudes, Bishop Greg Kelly, joined the BeatiDudes just weeks before his installation to share his gratitude, joy, and excitement. His focus included a message of timeless wisdom to always find Christ and keep our eyes on Him. Bishop Greg Kelly is a native of Iowa and grew up in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In 1976, he arrived in Dallas. He studied for the priesthood in Holy Trinity Seminary at the University of Dallas in Irving and was ordained to the priesthood in 1982. He served as parochial vicar at All Saints in Dallas, Chaplain at the University of Dallas in Irving, and pastor at St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish in McKinney. He was ordained as auxiliary bishop of Dallas on February 11, 2016, and resided at Holy Trinity Seminary in Irving. In December 2024, Bishop Greg Kelly received word that Pope Francis wanted him to be the Bishop of the Diocese of Tyler, only 100 miles East of Dallas. When he received this news, he responded, “If the Holy Father wants me to do this, then that’s what I’ll do.” Bishop Kelly was installed as the 5th Bishop of the Diocese of Tyler on February 24th, 2025, the 30th anniversary of the diocese's inauguration. There is no better guest to serve as the start of BeatiDudes Season 5 than the 5th Bishop of Tyler. Join Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein in celebrating this exciting time for the Church and praying for Bishop Kelly’s new flock. <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://onfiremedia.com/beatidudes">On Fire Media</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://one-visit-away.teachable.com/p/major-gift-millions/">Kevin's Course - Major Gift Millions</a><a href="https://ustmaxstudios.com/network/">MAX Studios</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> <a href="https://www.davemooremusic.com/">Dave Moore Music</a>

We all have had to wait for something in our lives. Waiting requires patience and we typically only wait for things that we need or want. This is because our time is valuable and limited. We are not going to wait for something that we don't care about.

God also only waits for things He cares about, and He has been waiting for you to come to Him in prayer. Take time this week to go to God in prayer. Don't leave God waiting.

Forget Santa Claus. The real St. Nicholas was a fearless defender of truth, a protector of the innocent, and a beacon of holy masculinity. Born in 270 AD in Patara, now modern-day Turkey, St. Nicholas lived a life of radical generosity, unwavering courage, and profound faith.In this episode, we uncover his remarkable life:<ul><li>Defender of Faith: At the Council of Nicaea, he boldly stood for Christ’s divinity, even challenging heresy in dramatic fashion.</li><li>Protector of the Vulnerable: From saving three daughters from slavery to halting unjust executions, his actions spoke louder than words.</li><li>Model of Generosity: Secretly giving his wealth to help others, he reminds us to give selflessly without seeking recognition.</li></ul>Key Takeaways for Catholic Men<ol><li>Generosity with Purpose: Like St. Nicholas, use your resources—time, energy, and wealth—to uplift others and glorify God.</li><li>Defend the Faith Boldly: Stand for truth in your daily life, whether it’s teaching your children the faith or confronting falsehoods in culture.</li><li>Protect the Innocent: Your role as a spiritual and physical protector is critical in a world filled with threats to faith and virtue.</li></ol>Food for Thought<ol><li>“St. Nicholas wasn’t just generous—he gave without seeking recognition, trusting God to provide for him and those he helped.”</li><li>“Living the faith isn’t passive. It requires action. Where in your life are you called to step in as a protector or advocate for justice?”</li><li>“The real question is this: Are we, as Catholic men, willing to defend the faith with the same courage St. Nicholas showed?”</li></ol>This Advent, let St. Nicholas challenge you to live boldly for Christ.

Counsels and Directives for Husbands and Fathers

Whether we like it or not, we all have feelings. . .and lots of them!! Our emotions are a gift. They are meant to be warning signs, indicators, and signals to help us better understand ourselves and the world around us. But when our emotions go unregulated and ignored, it can often cause disaster.&nbsp;
Noble Gibbens is a prime example of the radical transformation that can take place in a person's life when they begin Seeking Excellence in a previously ignored realm of their life. Noble is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, former Army Infantry Officer, and an outstanding entrepreneur. He and his awesome wife Kathy host the EQ for Entrepreneurs podcast and run courses on emotional health through their website.&nbsp;

Mixing and Mastering Our Faith: The Pitch of Prayer

Brothers, what if the man who never spoke a word in Scripture was the ultimate warrior you’ve been missing? Join us on The Manly Catholic for a gripping Lenten reflection with guest Joe Valentic, founder of Catholic Curator. Today, we’re spotlighting St. Joseph—not with an official title, but one he earns: warrior. Not with a sword, but with grit, trust, and a head on a swivel. If you’re ready to fight the real battles in your life like Joseph did, hit play and let’s get moving.Joe paints Joseph as a special forces operative for God—quiet, steady, relentless. From shielding Mary during her pregnancy to trekking to Bethlehem and fleeing to Egypt, he tackled missions with no fanfare, just faith. This episode isn’t about flexing muscles; it’s about the daily grind of living for your family, staying vigilant against the devil’s snares—like porn, laziness, or excess—and stepping up when it counts. Joe’s got 33 years as a husband, father, and entrepreneur, and he’s here to show us how Joseph’s example hits home for every man.Your challenge: Keep Your Head on a Swivel. Pick one subtle temptation in your life—scrolling too much, skipping prayer, overindulging—and crush it today. Swap it for a prayer or a moment of focus on your family. Write it down, act on it. Optimized for men seeking authentic Catholic masculinity, this episode’s a wake-up call.

Day 7 - St. Joseph: The Quiet Soldier Ready to Fight

Fear. Doubt. Insecurity. Every man faces them. But what if I told you that the key to conquering them isn’t found in self-reliance, but in surrender? In this episode, we launch our St. Joseph Lenten Series with a deep dive into how St. Joseph faced his greatest fear—learning that Mary, his betrothed, was pregnant with a child that wasn’t his. Imagine the weight of that moment. The confusion. The gut-wrenching uncertainty. And yet, Joseph’s response wasn’t panic—it was radical trust in God’s plan.Today, we unpack what this means for us as husbands, fathers, and leaders. How do we face the unknown? How do we lead our families when we feel inadequate? How do we take action when fear tells us to stand still? St. Joseph shows us the way.You’ll walk away from this episode with one powerful action step to start trusting God like St. Joseph did. Plus, we introduce Father Donald Calloway’s “Consecration to St. Joseph”—a game-changer for Catholic men who want to lead with strength and holiness.This isn’t just another Lenten reflection. This is your call to step up. To act. To lead. Let’s get to work.3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>"Men, we are men of action, right? It’s one thing to say we believe in the faith—but real belief demands action."</li><li>"Joseph didn’t trust in his own understanding. He trusted in God’s wisdom. And that’s why he could act, even when the future was unclear."</li><li>"Are you trying to carry this cross alone, or are you surrendering it to God?"</li></ol>Today, identify one fear or uncertainty in your life and surrender it to God. Repeat this prayer throughout your day: Jesus, I trust in You. Let trust in God—not fear—be your guiding force.Referenced in This Episode:<ul><li>Father Donald Calloway’s <a href="https://shopmercy.org/consecration-to-st-joseph-the-wonders-of-our-spiritual-father.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Consecration to St. Joseph</a> (Recommended Reading)</li></ul>🔥 Make sure you hit subscribe so you don’t miss a single episode of the St. Joseph Lenten Series.

Interesting Facts about the Battle
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li2">A young contemporary of Don John’s, Miguel Cervantes, fought with abandon and lost his left hand to a Turkish blade. With his remaining hand, he later penned Spain’s greatest novel, Don Quixote.</li>
<li class="li2">On another galley, a soldier of the Holy League, his soul torn with despair, took his sword to the ship’s crucifix. The blade instantly shattered. Many years later, an attempt to re-forge the sword was made, but when the new blade was pulled from the fire, it fell to pieces.</li>
<li class="li2">The crucifix on board the Real, which twisted itself to avoid a Turkish cannonball, is displayed in a side chapel of the cathedral of Barcelona.</li>
<li class="li2">Gianandrea Doria carried on his galley a gift from the king of Spain, an image that is now displayed in the Doria chapel in the cathedral in Genoa. Exactly forty years before the battle of Lepanto, the Blessed Virgin appeared to a peasant boy leaving a miraculous image of herself on his smock. The bishop of the region immediately commissioned an artist to paint five copies of the image, and he touched each one to the original. Our Lady of Guadalupe was present at Lepanto.</li>

How Men and Women Differ in Unselfishness | Part 26 | Lent 2024

Dr. Karlo Broussard joins us again and this time talking about his new book about Purgatory.  Also we look into another Soulful Psalm

Purgatory

This episode is packed — saints, miracles, Marian devotion, vocations, fatherhood, fasting, silence, and the rise of a new generation of men hungry for God.Fr. Charbel, a Franciscan Friar of the Immaculate, joins Adam and David in Tulsa along with first-class relics of St. Maximilian Kolbe and St. Charbel, sharing powerful stories of faith, mission, intercession, and what young Catholic men are longing for today.<h2>IN THIS EPISODE</h2><h3>1. Meet Fr. Charbel — his order, his mission, and why Marian consecration is central</h3>Fr. Charbel introduces the Franciscans of the Immaculate, an order founded to continue the Marian mission of St. Maximilian Kolbe:<ul><li>Total consecration to Mary as a fourth vow</li><li>A spirituality built on St. Francis + St. Maximilian</li><li>Missionary availability (“Send me anywhere in the world”)</li><li>Heavy emphasis on prayer, poverty, obedience, and Marian devotion</li></ul> He explains how Our Lady’s presence has shaped every major moment in salvation history — from Nazareth to the Cross — and why consecration gives Mary “permission” to form us the way she formed Christ.<h3>2. A surge of young men seeking God</h3>As the newly appointed vocations director, Fr. Charbel reveals something astonishing:40+ serious vocation inquiries in just two months.Why the sudden surge?<ul><li>Men want something real</li><li>They crave mission and purpose</li><li>They want orthodoxy and reverence</li><li>They want a spirituality that demands something of them</li><li>Marian devotion draws them in a unique way</li></ul> “It’s inspiring,” he says. “Young men want authenticity.”<h3>3. Stories of Divine Providence and the adventure of religious life</h3>The guys talk about:<ul><li>The Franciscan blend of active + contemplative</li><li>The thrill of trusting God with everything</li><li>Poverty that becomes a doorway to providence</li><li>Why Franciscans never seem to fundraise (“God just provides”)</li></ul> Religious life, he says, is more adventurous than most men realize.<h2>4. Deep dive: Who is St. Charbel? Why is he exploding in popularity?</h2>St. Charbel Makhlouf, a Lebanese hermit, is becoming one of the most beloved saints of the century.Father explains why:<ul><li>Lived a hidden, humble, ascetic life</li><li>23 years in community + 23 years as a hermit</li><li>Entire life centered on the Holy Eucharist</li><li>Body discovered incorrupt with supernatural light rising from his tomb</li><li>Over 29,000 documented miracles since 1950</li><li>Miracles among Muslims, Druze, Orthodox, and nonbelievers</li><li>Global pilgrims: 2 million+ per year</li></ul> One stunning story:A Muslim sheikh publicly visited St. Charbel’s shrine to thank him for healing his mother of cancer.“Why would God confirm the life of a hermit who spent his life before the Eucharist,” Father asks, “unless the Eucharist is truly what the Church says it is?”<h2>5. Lessons from St. Charbel for modern men + fathers</h2>What does a hermit from Lebanon have to teach us? A lot.Fr. Charbel lays out practical takeaways:<ul><li>Faithfulness in the small things</li><li>Silence — making space for God’s voice</li><li>Daily prayer even without consolations</li><li>Obedience and humility</li><li>Eucharistic devotion</li><li>Marian devotion as a way of being formed</li><li>Asceticism and fasting: dying to self in small ways</li><li>Doing your duty with love</li></ul> As he says: “God doesn’t call you to be successful. He calls you to be faithful.”<h2>6. Mary, her titles, and how she draws men to Christ</h2>The guys discuss:<ul><li>Why we must be unashamed of Marian devotion</li><li>The richness of her many titles:</li><li>Mother of God</li><li>Cause of Our Joy</li><li>Mother of Good Counsel</li><li>Undoer of Knots</li><li>Seat of Wisdom</li><li>Why Marian consecration doesn’t distract from Jesus — it leads to Him</li><li>Why she is the “surest and quickest way” to holiness</li></ul> Fr. Charbel emphasizes “You can never love her as much as Jesus already does.”<h2>7. Books, Resources, and Where to Find More</h2>Fr. Charbel’s order publishes incredibly practical Marian books:<ul><li>“Preparation for Total Consecration” (33 days in the spirit of Maximilian Kolbe)</li><li>“Beloved Disciple” — how to live your consecration daily</li><li>“Rule of Life: St. Maximilian Kolbe’s personal spiritual notes” (brand new)</li></ul> Visit: <a href="https://AcademyOfTheImmaculate.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AcademyOfTheImmaculate.com</a>Learn about the order: <a href="https://MaryMediatrix.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MaryMediatrix.com</a>

St. Charbel, Marian Devotion, and the Rise of Young Catholic Men with Fr. Charbel (Franciscans of the Immaculate)

In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Carrie Gress - wife, mother, philosophy scholar, fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, author of ten books, and co-editor at the online women’s magazine Theology of Home. We discuss the philosophical roots of the feminist movement, the "three pillars" of feminism (destroying patriarchy, the occult, and free love), and how to heal women and our world from the wounds inflicted by the feminist movement. We also consider if being a Catholic and a "feminist" is a contradiction in terms.Host: Mario Costabile- Sponsors -Hypuro Fit: discover the Catholic approach to fitness. <a href="https://bit.ly/4eIWbtz">LEARN MORE</a>Kondracki Advisory Investment Management - We help individual investors and families grow their wealth by managing investment portfolios for them that are exclusively comprised of industry-leading, time-tested companies that help make the world a better place.
