In the ascent towards holiness and happiness, a Catholic man must build the good habits (Virtue, from the Latin, vir, meaning “manliness, moral strength, goodness, valor”) of the moral life and break the bad habits (Vice, from the Latin, vitium, meaning “defect, offense, blemish, imperfection”) which cause him to fall into sin and risk losing his salvation. The Church provides a comprehensive list of Virtues which fall into two major categories: Theological Virtues (Supernatural) and Cardinal Virtues (Human). Because it is impossible for a mere man ascend to Heaven on his own ability, God grants every Catholic man the supernatural help to grow in Virtue through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit which are freely available to every Catholic man who remains in a state of grace; even if a Catholic man falls into mortal sin and loses the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, he can repent, confess his sins in the Sacrament of Penance and return to a state of grace and regain access to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. What a man needs to break Vice and build Virtue is to come to understand Vice and Virtue and then seek God’s help. To help men understand Virtue and Vice and take concrete action, <a href='http://everycathoicman.com/'>EveryCathoicMan.com</a> has developed the Litanies of Virtue.<a href='https://everycatholicman.com/overview-of-vice-virtue-and-the-holy-spirit/'>To learn more about Vice, Virtue and the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit, go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a> <a href='https://everycatholicman.com/litany-of-diligence-against-sloth/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Diligence go to EveryCatholicMan.com</a>.

Rest in the Lord
Richard once again shares the wisdom gained from his experiences on the road. He speaks of understanding that vanity comes in many forms that we may not recognize. He desires to live as a true disciple, giving God his time and attention when he should - even if it means getting a good night's sleep so he can safely participate in sharing the journey with his friends and being able to focus on what God has given him to do in each moment.

Wisdom From The Road Richard 3

God loves you. He loves you and the same Power that rose Jesus from the dead abides in you ... because he loves you. Because he loves you, you will change the entire course of Human History, if you are obedient to just one thing ...

Nefarious is hitting the theatres by storm. Highly endorsed by many Catholic priests, including Cardinal Raymond Burke, for its accurate portrayal of the demonic, Nefarious will leave you on the edge of your seat wanting more.  As ChurchPop states on its website summarizing the plot, "On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer gets a psychiatric evaluation during which he claims he is a demon, and further claims that before their time is over, the psychiatrist will commit three murders of his own."Several priests, including Cardinal Raymond Burke and exorcist Fr. Carlos Martins, recommend "Nefarious." The writers and directors of the film also brought audiences Abby Johnson's "Unplanned" movie." From roofs blowing off of houses to multiple car crashes effecting many of the crew members, Nefarious is a movie the demons don't want you to see. Join James as he interviews Cary Solomon, co-director and producer of the movie. Like what you heard? Maybe you just enjoy reading James’s show notes?

Ep 75 - Nefarious, Psychopath or Demon?

Where citizens are oppressed by a public authority overstepping its competence, they should not protest against those things which are objectively required for the common good; but it is legitimate for them to defend their own rights and the rights of their fellow citizens against the abuse of this authority, while keeping within those limits drawn by the natural law and the Gospels. Deacon Harold talks about this further today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm  40:17-18

Is it possible to be a committed Christian working in finance? The answer isn't obvious, and yes, we're looking at you fellow finance professionals.In this episode, we discuss the morality of finance as an industry. Working in the industry, professionals spend a lot of time managing other people's money and being told how to manage it in a lot of cases. This can often pose a conflict with a Christian's values if they are asked to manage money in a way that might be immoral. With some ref...

It’s common place to hear people say that things are happening today that have never happened before and that social tensions today are unique.  However true that statement might be it needs to be grounded in history.  In point of fact, the political tensions, the social tensions we suffer from today have roots as far back as the industrial era.  Encyclical “Rerum Novarum” by Pope Leo XIII addressed many of these tensions and by studying them we can gain jewels of wisdom for our approach today.

Grace Prompts a Catholic Conversion

Hello again! Welcome to Episode 3, "The Manly Dillema." Today,  James and Father Dom  continue their epic discussion Bishop Olmsted's gut-punching "Into the Breach." Bishop Olmsted asks three important questions in his exhortation that he addresses: 1. What does it mean to be a Christian man? 2. How does a Catholic man love? 3. Why is fatherhood, fully understood, crucial for every man? Within those questions, he discusses three primary contexts to shape and mold the questions: 1. A New Apostolic Moment - The "New Evangelization" 2. A Field Hospital and a Battle College 3. Man and Woman are Complementary, not Competitors This episode dropped all sorts of nuggets so make sure you tune in! You don't want to miss  how this podcast is single-handedly trying to fulfill the call of the new evangelization, why the Church tends to the wounded from the spiritual battle with Satan and his demons (another epic novel idea), and why men and women are indeed different but they are in fact on the same team.  DO NOT FORGET James' Challenge. Yes, James stole Father Dom's game. Men, get to confession. No matter how long it has been, no matter what is holding you back, get to confession. Get in a state of grace first and foremost and allow God to work in your life. I, James, dread going to confession every time, but I leave feeling a weight has been lifted from my heart and soul. The Lord truly heals and gives us such a tremendous gift with confession.

Ep. 3 - A Manly Dilemma

Jesus Christ is born in poverty to the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph in Bethlehem and is accompanied by an army of of angels. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of the Fear of the Lord so he can be drawn to God and by building the Virtue of Generosity so he can always be exceedingly generous to the poor.

EP 84 Q&A With Fr.Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

In this episode, Dr. Phil Chavez explains that being a Beloved Son of the Father means to move steadily in Christ. Life is not about going to heaven and having needs met along the way. 

The journey of a Son is to be formed in God’s Image. A true Son takes interest in what gives God glory. One brings change in the world by reforming oneself to become the Salt of the earth and the Light of the world. Learn more ideas on how to manifest Christ in a difficult world.

S2- Case #15 "A Family Affair", Pt 1

One day away. Palm Sunday is tomorrow. Holy Week’s knocking. Are you ready? I’m diving into the privileges of devotion to St. Joseph, pulling from Father Calloway’s Consecration to St. Joseph and the wisdom of saints like St. Josemaría Escrivá. Today’s about why loving St. Joseph matters. Blessed Maria Teresa of St. Joseph went from a Protestant home to a nun, leaning on him through rejection and hardship. Venerable Mary of Ágreda lists seven graces he brings like purity, a happy death, and terrifying demons. Our Lady herself told mystics his intercession’s unmatched. Why? He loved Jesus and Mary most after God, living humility and silence we can’t fathom. Here’s your challenge: Reflect on your Lent. How’s it going? Slipped up? Forgotten your goals? Look to St. Joseph’s obedience and quiet strength—make this Holy Week your best yet.  Men, Satan hates Joseph’s power. Want to shield your family and grow closer to Christ? Devotion to him is your weapon.  Products/References Mentioned:  <ul><li>Consecration to St. Joseph by Father Donald Calloway  </li><li>The Mystical City of God by Venerable Mary of Ágreda  </li><li>St. Josemaría Escrivá’s quote on St. Joseph</li></ul>Powerful Quotes:  <ol><li>“He is the person who has most loved God after our mother. He deserves your affection and it will do you good to get to know him because he is the master of the interior life.”  </li><li>“In virtue of these special privileges, the intercession of St. Joseph is most powerful… for attaining the virtue of purity and overcoming the sensual inclinations of the flesh.”  </li><li>“The whole human race has much undervalued the privileges and prerogatives conceded to my blessed spouse, and they know not what his intercession with God is able to do.”</li></ol>Key Takeaway: Pause today—reflect on St. Joseph’s silence and humility. Apply it now to refocus your Lent and enter Holy Week with purpose.  <a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

ILT Ep 30 Alvaro de Vicente

So much of our struggle in life comes down to one question: do we know who we are in God?

In this episode, John welcomes Carrie Daunt—wife, mother of nine, and speaker with the John Paul II Healing Center—for a powerful conversation on identity and family life. Carrie shares how her newest book, Beloved Son, helps parents speak truth into their children’s hearts, and why reclaiming our identity as beloved sons and daughters of the Father is the foundation for healing and freedom.

Carrie and John also reflect on the challenges men and women face in living out their vocations, the importance of fathers manning their post, and how ordering our lives with God at the center changes everything.

EP 114 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Not a deep dive into scripture, but a casual reflection into the works of the Early Church and other powerful Heroes of our faith, like Elijah. Some terms:
"Crucible" (from the Latin, "crux"): A situation of severe trial, or in which different elements interact, leading to the creation of something new (Source: lexico.com: <a href="https://www.lexico.com/definition/crucible" target="_blank">https://www.lexico.com/definition/crucible</a>).
Cheesecloth: Okay, truth be told, I've never used cheesecloth--nor have I ever seen anyone use it. For those Chefs out there that might stumble on this episode, in the immortal words of Elvis: "Have mercy!" For people like me who've never touched the stuff, here's this: <a href="https://www.leaf.tv/articles/how-to-strain-with-a-cheesecloth/" target="_blank">https://www.leaf.tv/articles/how-to-strain-with-a-cheesecloth/</a>
 
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel: "St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in this day of battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host--by the Power of God--cast into Hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of Souls. Amen."

In a great rebound from the contentious Monday appearance of Sam Sorich, The BeatiDudes come back to the Tiny Table for a round of incredible questions and games. Starting with 101 Conversations for Couples (or Co-Hosts), Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein have a great dialogue with Sam and then play Blessed are the Joke Makers.In addition to directing the new documentary “Things Hidden: The Life and Legacy of René Girard,” Sam was also a director for one of the 8BEATS, an edgy production of films based on the 8 Beatitudes. Born from the Catholic Creatives Summit, 8BEATS gathered Catholic artists to work together on a series of short films. Each film is inspired by one of the Beatitudes. Sam produced Seau De Sang based on “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God”.

Ep 66 | From Instagram to Engagement pt. 2 w/ Emily Harpole

Politics and religion are two topics that should "never" be discussed in one episode. With the upcoming U.S. election, James thought it prudent to encourage Catholic men and women to get out and vote. In this episode of Manly Catholic, he discusses the importance of informed voting for Catholics, especially in light of the upcoming elections. He emphasizes the need for a well-formed conscience that aligns with Catholic teachings, particularly on issues like abortion, marriage, and family values. He  argues against voting for candidates who oppose fundamental Catholic principles and encourages listeners to engage in the political process with a moral framework. He provides resources for further guidance and calls for Catholics to be unapologetic in their faith and civic duties. Takeaways<ul><li>Voting must align with the moral teachings of the Catholic Church.</li><li>Catholics should prioritize their faith over political affiliations.</li><li>A well-formed conscience is essential for making voting decisions.</li><li>Voting is a moral action that reflects our values and beliefs.</li><li>Candidates who oppose fundamental Catholic teachings should not be supported.</li><li>The family is a foundational element of society that needs protection.</li><li>Engaging in politics is a responsibility for Catholics.</li><li>Voters should be aware of non-negotiable moral issues when voting.</li><li>It's important to choose the lesser of two evils when necessary.</li><li>Catholics must be unapologetic about their faith in public life.</li></ul>Sound Bites "You cannot in good conscience vote for Harris." "Voting is a moral action, not just a civic duty." "Our Catholicism needs to bleed through us." "Don't be afraid to be unapologetically Catholic." "Let's pray for our nation and fair elections."

Steven Thomas, author of Catholic Joe: Superhero, flew down to escape the chill of Chicago and enter the eleven-degree weather of Dallas. Steven “Stephen” Thomas came to kick it with the BeatiDudes in between writing sessions for the next book in the series. Steven Thomas is a serial entrepreneur who has started many culture-changing companies and apostolates. Steven was given the grace to complete Catholic Joe after walking across the country with a small group of men. They traversed over 4,500 grueling miles in the form of a cross over the US, praying for God’s mercy and favor on the country and the Church. Catholic Joe is the first book in the series. Lieutenant General Joseph Salvatore, husband and father of a large family, is a man’s man. At age 48, he is still considered one of the deadliest men on the planet, able to kill an enemy with his bare hands and with the same hands tenderly caress his wife and children. Joe brings this same lethal intensity as he fights to save his youngest brother's marriage. In fighting for his brother, Joe, later deemed Catholic Joe by a reporter, uncovers corruption in the government and his church. Don’t miss Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein do a dramatic reading from Catholic Joe and workshop the 10 Command-o-ments with Steven Thomas.

 They also discuss the decline of Joe Biden&#39;s mental faculties and the implications of his candidacy. They emphasize the importance of integrity and character in political leaders and the need to stay informed while maintaining emotional awareness and self-control.
 
 In this conversation, Nathan and Jack discuss the importance of detachment and maintaining a sense of calm in the face of political and social issues. 
 
They emphasize the need to focus on personal holiness and working out one&#39;s own salvation, rather than becoming obsessed with external events. They caution against over-engagement or apathy and encourage finding the virtuous mean of being informed but not obsessed. 
 
They also discuss the danger of prioritizing politics over family and the importance of focusing on one&#39;s vocation and relationship with Jesus. They highlight the need for compassion and love for others, even those with differing views, and the importance of praying for their salvation.

A Catholic Approach To Election Season w/ Jack Beers

The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT) is a group that advocates for the extinction of the human race by encouraging people to not have children. In today's episode, we chat with Dr. Richard Clements who wrote an article about this group for Word on Fire Ministries.We discuss why such a radical ideology is catching on and why people are adopting this mentality. Among the chief arguments for choosing to go along with this movement is concern for the biosphere with claims that human be...

Extinction of the Human Race with Dr. Richard Clements

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?  Why are you far from saving me, so far from my words of anguish? O my God, I call by day and you do not answer; I call by night and I find no reprieve. Deacon Harold opens this up as we talks about The Exaltation of the Cross and also looking at Soulful Psalm 93.

The Exaltation of the Cross

This week, Baker Academic released a new hardcover edition of Bishop Barron's book, <a href="http://WordOnFire.org/priority">The Priority of Christ: Toward a Postliberal Catholicism</a>. Bishop Barron discusses the book's main ideas including the problem with liberalism, how Jesus Christ is the proper foundation of knowledge and ethics, and how the saints unveil the good life. A listener asks about Jesus' words from the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

WOF 013: The Priority of Christ

Every leader needs to take initiative.  It’s the same for St. Peter and for the apostles of his day.  How did St. Peter move the church forward during her darkest times?  Let’s take a look at the Acts of The Apostles, Chapter 1 verses 12 and following to find out.

DGT Episode 40 - The Strength Of Initiative - St. Peter Part 3

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

 About this episode:
Jesus is transfigured and the Almighty Father and Holy Spirit are made manifest. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by building the Virtue of Humility so he can be humbled and awed by Christ's Real Presence in the Eucharist and by growing in the Virtue of Perseverance so he can joyously anticipate his own glorified body. 

Matthew James Christoff is a Catholic convert who focuses on helping the Church recognize and respond to the Catholic “man-crisis.” He is the founder of EveryCatholicMan.com which provides daily Gospel devotions for the Mass and a comprehensive set of tools to help men draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father. 

He is a co-founder of the Catholic Men’s Leadership Alliance and HeroicMen.com and several other Catholic men’s evangelization efforts. He is a key contributor to the Knights of Columbus Into the Breach Video Series and his work has been featured in the National Catholic Register, EWTN, Catholic World Report, Homiletics and Pastoral Review, Relevant Radio, and other national and international media. 

Matthew’s professional experience includes working and serving Fortune 500 companies in the areas of marketing, strategy and organizational consulting and he holds a Masters in Theology with a concentration in evangelization and catechesis from the Augustine Institute, a Masters in Industrial Administration and a Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering from Purdue University.

Matthew and his childhood sweetheart have four married children and a number of grandchildren.

Mike is a Dominican-American cradle Catholic who took a 20+ year detour into Protestantism - reverting to his Catholicism in 2020. His preparation for ministry developed over the course of his life where much seeking, wandering, losing and finding took place. While Mike was raised to identify as a Catholic, the “thorns” of worldly desire quickly distracted him from faith in his pre-teens. In his early teens, by God’s grace, the Lord drew him to himself through a Protestant cousin, marking the beginning of a lifelong devotion to Christ through sacred Scripture which formed the basis for his discipleship alongside Christian fellowship and preaching. This trajectory continued through his University years at NYU. 

Upon graduation, he chose to serve with a Protestant student ministry at New York University called The Navigators, accompanying students on their own faith journeys. It was through the relationships formed in Navigators ministry, that he met his wife, Deidre. Having never ceased identifying as a Catholic, Deidre found herself worshiping in the Protestant world where she felt she had more opportunities to learn the scriptures. Together, Mike and Deidre worshiped in the Protestant world until many years (and children) later the Lord led them to return to their roots in the Catholic Church - the home of Sacred scripture. 

Upon becoming Catholic, Mike joined the Catholic apostolate Emmaus Journey where he serves to this day alongside his role with the Catholic Men's Leadership Alliance. When Jesus journeyed on the road to Emmaus alongside his disciples, Sacred scripture tells us that ”beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” Mike's desire is to bring this fullness of revelation to those Jesus is calling to himself, and to play a role in mobilizing them in their own missions of evangelization and discipleship.

WOF 419: How to Become a Person of Love

Fr. Jean-Pierre de Caussade's spiritual classic, Abandonment to Divine Providence, taught that everything falls under God's will, from our delights to our challenges, and our happiness will only be fully realized in cooperating with that will. But does this include painful and traumatic experiences? What about COVID? Bishop Barron and Brandon discuss these questions as well as a priest, Fr. Walter Ciszek, who heroically embodied this spiritual principle. A listener asks, if all of us were like Jesus, wouldn't the world be really boring?

Ep 28 - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

St. Paul urges us to “compete well for the faith.” But what does that look like in everyday life, especially at home with the people who matter most?

In this episode, John and Victor open up about how easy it is to pour yourself into work or ministry while giving your loved ones only the leftovers, and how the real measure of faith is not just in what we do publicly but in how we love privately. Through Scripture, honesty, and reflection, they explore what it means to run the race with patience, humility, and love.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re truly living out your faith where it counts, this conversation will challenge you to pause, reflect, and recommit to competing well.

Announcement: THE LIVE IS HAPPENING! (For Now)

Many of you have asked for Bishop Barron's thoughts on the McCarrick abuse crisis, the Pennsylvania grand jury report, and the recent report from Archbishop Viganò. We're all devastated by the horrific suffering of these many victims, and we're all wondering what to do next. Bishop Barron shared some thoughts a couple weeks ago, in an article, but we thought it might be helpful to have a more candid conversation today, building on the <a href= "https://bit.ly/2od0uW5">USCCB's recent statement</a>. Listen to the discussion here, and together let's pray for the victims and the entire Body of Christ.

WOF 209: 5 Ways to Draw Young People Back to God

Christian leadership like anything else is an art and a science.  Of course, there are many things we can do to increase our influence and to use it at the service of God.  But foundationally there is something out of control in Christian leadership.  Namely, the fact that God will use us as He desires.  This requires that we learn a secret, the secret St. Paul knew so well and that he tells us about in 2 Corinthians 12.  I’d like to help you learn that secret today.

Hey men: ever feel like you’re living two different lives—one in church and another at work or in your struggles? Jeff Joaquin knows exactly what that’s like. Sean and Jeff get into what happens when you stop protecting your reputation and start living with radical honesty. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/brotherhood">Join the Heroic Brotherhood</a>Jeff shares his own journey—alcoholism, workaholism, an abortion at 17, and the fight to bring faith into his business. But here’s the thing: when he finally let go of the image and embraced his weaknesses, God used them to impact thousands. From men’s conferences to social media, he’s helping others step out of shame and into healing. We also get real about the struggles guys don’t like to talk about—pornography, materialism, and the pressure to keep up. And don’t worry, there’s some humor in here too—especially when Jeff gets ready for the freezing north!

Finance and investing are convoluted enough. Most people don’t know how to invest, are too scared to invest or don’t know what to invest in. If you have gotten to the stage where you have started investing, your primary concern is probably getting a good return on your investment. But as Catholics, we know that money is not the primary concern. As Catholics, we have to think about where our money is going.Are the companies we are investing in ethical? Beyond that, do they promote policies tha...

St. Dismas and the Providence of God

What is the true nature of heresy, and how does it threaten the integrity of our faith? Join us for an eye-opening episode of the Manly Catholic featuring the esteemed Bishop Athanasius Schneider. We start by unpacking the etymology and severe implications of heresy as a violation of divine truth. Bishop Schneider, drawing from his latest book, shares profound insights into over 130 doctrinal errors throughout history and underscores the vital role of bishops as spiritual physicians. We also tackle the pressing issue of "cafeteria Catholics" who selectively follow Church teachings, thereby undermining the unity of divine revelation. Can excommunication be a form of love and protection for the Church? This engaging segment confronts the modernist heresy, which poses a significant threat to religious convictions today. By drawing parallels between spiritual health and disease, we argue the necessity of excommunication as a corrective measure. Modernism, rooted in Kantian philosophy and nominalism, is dissected for its dangerous impact on the stability of divine truth. Bishop Schneider passionately discusses the erosion of religious convictions and the acceptance of practices contrary to traditional Church teachings, reinforcing the importance of adhering steadfastly to doctrinal truth amidst cultural shifts. How can we truly appreciate the depth and beauty of Catholic truth? In this final segment, we delve into the divine origin and timeless teachings of the Catholic faith. From the Trinity to the Eucharist, Bishop Schneider emphasizes the importance of deepening one’s faith through prayerful reflection and meditation. We also have the privilege of introducing his forthcoming book, "Flee from Heresy: A Catholic Guide to Ancient and Modern Errors," set for release on July 16th, 2024. The episode concludes with a heartfelt blessing from the Bishop, inspiring listeners to continue growing in their faith and standing firm against modern heresies.

There are 4 types of law and today Deacon Harold looks into Natural Law: The human interaction of participation in the eternal law; that portion of the law that can be known rationally. It is that portion of the eternal law placed within us by God by virtue of God creating human nature. Also we look at Soulful Psalm 40:7-10

Jesus Is the Son of God! | The Creed (Pt. 6)In this episode, we continue to discuss the second article of the Creed: "And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord." David and Mario focus upon what we mean when we profess that Jesus is "the only Son" of the Father. They discuss how the Son of God is eternally begotten of and consubstantial with the Father, and distinguish between being the Son of God by nature vs. being a son of God by adoption. They also discuss how Jesus is fully God and fully man in one Divine Person, and how the Church came to clarify this in response to early heresies about Jesus.Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David Hajduk- Sponsors -Birch Gold - The Precious Metal IRA Specialists. <a href="https://bit.ly/3IaudIo">https://birchgold.com/HOPE</a>Real Estate for Life - Real Estate for Life is a multinational corporation with 1,400 experienced, faith-based agents world-wide to connect you with a Catholic service provider who shares your values. <a href="https://bit.ly/3tTH3qR">realestateforlife.org</a> - Resources -Take our podcast survey to help us make A Reason for Hope better for YOU! <a href="https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com/">https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com/ </a> Visit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app: <a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.
