Have you ever felt like leadership is real burden to you? Today’s reflection focuses on what St. Joseph shows us about how anxiety and difficulty actually spur us on to an ownership that allows God to do his great work. How we deal with anxiety and our way of carrying it through helps us to realize that daring something great for Christ is a privilege and an honor. This is the first part of a series of talks that I am going to be giving on St. Joseph, biblical model for modern leaders.

DGT Episode 2:  St. Joseph - Biblical model for modern leaders - Part 1

The night before filming this episode of The BeatiDudes, Joe joined Jim Caviezel, the actor who plays Jesus in The Passion of the Christ, for the NCAA Football Championship game and witnessed the greatest moment he has ever seen in sports. Tune in to find out what it was. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a recently engaged person to address the prompt, “What is talked about at the pub?” The TBD Question of the Day is “Tell us about your proposal.”And don’t miss Reverse Simpsons designed by Jeff where the Nick and Paul must stuff their mouth with six marshmallows before trying to get Joe to guess a series of 3 secret words each.

A Dram with Jake Khym

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father. Today we honor the Solemnity of the Annunciation of Our Lord as we hear the astounding account of how the Blessed Virgin Mary accepts God’s call through the Archangel Gabriel to become the Mother of God.  We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to grow in the Virtue of Humility so he can better imitate the divine humility of Our Lord Jesus Christ who humbly takes on human flesh to save mankind. We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to seek the Fruits of Love, Patience, Kindness, Generosity, Modesty and Chastity and more full imitate our Beautiful Mother of God.

Episode 48 - The Blessed Virgin Mary becomes the Mother of God - Saturday March 25, 2023 – Lk 1:26-38

Leaders lead in their own way.  Saints are the same.  Although most of us have preconceptions about Saints, describing them in terms of prayer and piety, Pier Giorgio Frassati shows us a different look.  He was full of life, energy, and activism.  He was a courageous leader for his age, his peers, and for us today.

EP 112 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

As John Michael and his wife journeyed through their second pregnancy, they learned that their son would be born with Down Syndrome. Instead of running from this challenging circumstance, the Lucido family fully embraced God’s perfect gift to the world by naming their son Judah, which in Hebrew means “Praise be to God.” John Michael is a regional director at FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students), where he and his wife serve the Lord by accompanying others, including fellow missionaries. Their work as a married couple with three kids serves as a model and a witness for young adults nationwide.This episode of The BeatiDudes is a testament to the power of faith and family and the beauty that comes from our complete surrender to God’s will.

Ep 30 | Why 80% of New Year's Resolutions Fail

Is it manly to love? Love is a word that is floated around too often in our society without much attachment. We say "I love you," "I love spaghetti!", "I love lamp!" Thanks, Brick. But to truly love as a Catholic man might be a bit trickier than you think. Bishop Barron often states, "To love is to will the good of the other as other." What the heck does that mean?! Well, you will have to listen to find out more! Join James and Father Dom on another amazing episode diving deeper "Into the Breach." They discuss how a Catholic man loves as a friend and a husband. Somehow Father Dom asks the audience to buy him a red Ferrari that he will donate to charity. They give a shout-out to the amazing Catholic expert on Humanae Vitae, sexuality, and bioethics Dr. Smith Janet Smith. They dive deeper into why pornography is destroying men and why the battle for chastity is man's greatest challenge today. Wow, that was a lot! Be sure to check out all the resources for more great information to dive deeper and join the discussion. Be sure to follow us on <a href="https://twitter.com/Manly_Catholic" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/themanlycatholic" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Facebook</a> for more witty sayings, great content, and a heck of a lot of Catholic manliness. DO NOT FORGET Father Dom's Challenge! This is probably the toughest one yet. Honestly and prayerfully, ask the Holy Spirit about the people you surround yourself with.  Ask yourself, are these relationships bringing me closer to Christ or away from Christ? If away, it may be time to cut the cord on the relationship.

Ep. 5 - Is It Manly To Love?

Delve into the profound mind of Thomas Storck, a prominent Catholic author, in our latest podcast episode. Thomas's comprehensive exploration of "The Prosperity Gospel" raises a critical concern. This distorted interpretation of faith, penetrating both Protestant and Catholic circles, worships material wealth over spiritual growth. Thomas dissects the beginnings and consequences of the Prosperity Gospel, tracing its roots to radical Protestantism and John Locke's ideas. Unveiling the danger of intertwining heavenly promises with earthly wealth, this episode navigates the implications of privatized religion and its influence on American culture.In Thomas's book, he reveals the hazardous impact of this heretical teaching on modern society. By resurrecting tradition in the face of secularization, our episode sparks inspiration to counteract these influences, rekindling a devotion to authentic faith and preserving the sanctity of Christ's teachings. Join us on this illuminating journey, exploring faith, wealth, culture, and tradition through the lens of Thomas Storck's profound scholarship. Like what you heard?

Ep 199 | Ted Delicath | Agnosticism, Human Rights, and Universal Truth

What happens when you pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet in St. Faustina’s backyard? 
This week, Father Dave shares powerful moments from his recent pilgrimage to Poland—visiting sacred sites tied to St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Faustina, and St. John Paul II. From celebrating Mass at Kolbe’s friary to walking through Auschwitz and Birkenau, it’s a glimpse of God’s mercy amid some of history’s darkest places. 
While Father Dave walked in the footsteps of saints, Deacon Bob found hopeful witness in the desert. He returns from the Life Teen Catholic Youth Ministry Convention in Arizona, where he gave a talk on “Radiant Hope” and reconnected with longtime friends in ministry. Together, the hosts reflect on the quiet, often unseen ways God raises up saints in every generation—even in the most unexpected places. 
And yes, this episode still includes classic They That Hope moments: breakfast with Father Dave’s brother Tom, a temporarily misplaced child on the New York subway, and a burning question: Why does the French Open have two names? 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Breakfast with Tom, Arizona Adventures, and Youth Ministry in the Desert  
Deacon Bob recounts his recent trip to Arizona for the <a href='https://lifeteen.com/events/catholic-youth-ministry-convention/'>Life Teen Catholic Youth Ministry Convention</a> where he reconnected with ministry leaders and gave a keynote on “Radiant Hope.” He also shares a surprise breakfast meet-up with Father Dave’s brother, Tom (a loyal listener), some humorous travel woes, and the joy of being surrounded by those serving the Church’s youth. 
(04:08) Sports Recap: NBA, NHL, Tennis, and... Golf?  
From unexpected NBA playoff upsets to a grueling five-set French Open final, Father Dave and Deacon Bob weigh in on recent sports headlines. They touch on the drama of playoff hockey, marvel at <a href='https://www.golfdigest.com/story/jj-spauns-walk-off-winning-putt'>JJ Spaun’s 62-foot putt</a>, and clear up (sort of) why the French Open is also called Roland-Garros. 
(09:01) Audiobook Adventures  
Deacon Bob announces that his book <a href='https://www.osvcatholicbookstore.com/sharing-the-gospel-with-our-lives-a-relational-approach-to-catholic-youth-ministry.html'>Sharing the Gospel with Our Lives</a> is getting the audiobook treatment—and he’s narrating it himself. He shares the process (including a mysterious home studio in Columbus), while Father Dave recalls the heartbreak of being cut off with just 15 minutes left in a Navy SEAL memoir due to subscription limits. 
(16:29) Pilgrimage to Poland: Kolbe, Faustina &amp; Divine Mercy in Dark Places  
Father Dave reflects on the deeply moving pilgrimage he led across Poland. Highlights include Mass at <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niepokalan%C3%B3w'>St. Maximilian Kolbe’s friary</a> visiting the birthplace of <a href='https://www.thedivinemercy.org/message/stfaustina'>St. Faustina</a>, and praying the <a href='https://www.thedivinemercy.org/message/devotions/pray-the-chaplet'>Divine Mercy Chaplet</a> in St. Faustina’s backyard with her niece. He shares how the lives of these saints—and the sobering visit to <a href='https://www.auschwitz.org/en/'>Auschwitz and Birkenau</a>—revealed the light of God even in history’s darkest moments. 
(23:02) Saints Amidst Suffering  
As conflict rages in places like <a href='https://www.bbc.com/news/topics/c2vdnvdg6xxt'>Gaza</a> and <a href='https://www.bbc.com/news/war-in-ukraine'>Ukraine</a>, the hosts reflect on how God raises up saints in every era. From the <a href='https://missionariesofcharity.org/'>Missionaries of Charity</a> caring for the vulnerable in war zones, to everyday youth ministers and celibate religious, they honor those whose quiet, faithful witness brings hope to the world. 
(28:22) Radiant Hope in Service  
Expanding on his convention talk, Deacon Bob shares how true Christian hope is made visible through acts of loving service. Drawing from Scripture and the Visitation of Mary, he explains how hope, though unseen, shines clearly in those who serve joyfully and sacrificially.

Jesse Romero is back! Now, this is a past episode, but after re-listening to it you will be fired up to go out there and preach about Jesus! From personal stories about his time as a cop encountering the devil to powerful messages to motivate men, this episode packs a punch, literally and figuratively. It is no wonder this episode garnished over 10k views on YouTube! To quote Mr. Romero directly from his website: “If your parish suffers from low energy, call me, I can jump-start it. I’m a full Gospel, Bible Believing, Born Again, Spirit Filled, Evangelical, Orthodox Catholic Christian, washed and empowered by the blood of Jesus.  With a Bible in one hand, with a rosary in my other hand, and with Jesus in my heart, you will hear the fullness of the Catholic faith in an evangelical style with devil-destroying theology.” You won't want to miss this epic episode.  <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!

For those who haven't heard, Dr. Kevin Vost passed away in early April of 2023. He was an amazing men who was passionate about fitness, health, and nutrition.

You know we like to bring the heat, which is why we had to get Carrie Gress on the podcast!
Carrie wrote one of my favorite books of all time: &nbsp;Anti-Mary Exposed: &nbsp;Rescuing the culture from toxic femininity
She is such an amazing example of the Catholic faith in action, boldly charging forward in some of the most controversial and intimidating battlegrounds. Carrie and I had a great discussion on the book, what's changed in her life since writing it, her experience with being censored and canceled, toxic feminism, and so much more!
Carrie shares the reality of what's causing so much division, pain, and hatred in our world today. We believe the world needs to encounter the truth in regards to what is making them miserable. If you agree, please share this episode with others!

You asked...we delivered!  Many have been asking if Fr. Dom could start recording his homilies and post them to the podcast. And the answer is 100% yes! Fr. Dom gives fantastic homilies and I am glad he is doing this so we can start sharing them with the world.  I will be posting these as much as possible, most likely one day after the homily was recorded given my current recording and editing constraints so I do apologize for the delay.

Father Dom Homily 5/16

You’ve heard of the wolf of Gubbio, wait until you hear of the *cue ominous music* “New Year’s Resolution”! Here is a recording of my presentation at our local Made for Greatness event.

The Resolution of St. Francis

He has won both a Super Bowl and college football national championship. He is entering his second season as Tulane University's special teams coordinator after having spent the 2022 season coordinating special teams for the USFL's Houston Gamblers and XFL's Houston Roughnecks. Prior to 2022, he spent five seasons with LSU, where he joined the staff as an analyst in 2017 and later took over as special teams coordinator. That followed his having spent eleven years with the NFL's New Orleans Saints, the first two as assistant special teams coordinator followed by nine seasons as special teams coordinator. During his time there the team won the Super Bowl in February 2010 over the Indianapolis Colts. He has spent decades around the game, first as a safety at Eastern Illinois and then as a coach at eight different schools over a 25-year period.

Recently, I posted three different polls on my Instagram story. 
The first was, &quot;do you think childless single people should be paid the same as people who are married with children?&quot;
The second was, &quot;do you think we should have mandatory parental leave?&quot;
The third was, &quot;do you think we should have a federal minimum wage?&quot; 
 
In today&#39;s podcast, I go through the results, responses, and my thoughts to each question! What are your thoughts? Let me know on Instagram or via email at nathan@thosewhoseek.org !

Ep. 1 - Welcome to The Manly Catholic!

The CATO Institute conducted a study that concluded that 62% of Americans have political opinions that they are afriad to share. &nbsp;&nbsp;
Who can't relate to that? We've all got some opinions we are afraid to share. They could be in regards to faith, politics, and/or culture. &nbsp;&nbsp;And many cave in to that fear. But shouldn't we embrace it instead? After all, it's one whole hell of a lot easier posting something on social media than it is standing up to serious oppression and opposition. &nbsp;&nbsp;
God calls us to stand firm in the truth. He wants us to have the courge to boldly proclaim the Gospel and defend the faith. Courage is built up over time. It doesn't just magically appear when you need it. &nbsp;&nbsp;
Bridget is a fantastic example of bold courage in sharing her views on what's happening in our world today. In today's episode, we talk about ways that we can prepare to be martyrs. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Ep 125 | Preparing To Die w/ Bridget Zurlinden

Nobody doubts that leadership can be lonely at times.  And yet even the greatest of leaders had friends.  In the story of St. Paul and his leadership in Acts, St. Barnabas plays an essential role.  Why would God have wanted St. Paul to have a friend like St. Barnabas?  What role does God want our friendships to play in our lives as leaders?

DGT Episode 54 - Paul's Hardship In Leadership - St. Paul Part 3

There is meaning in the number "40". As we begin Lent together, Deacon Harold looks at Matthew 6 & 16 to bring light and what it means for us in these next 40 days of faith.

The Power of 40

The BeatiDudes and Kyle Hatfield are at the tiny table, and this time, Kyle is unpacking the full roller coaster of faith, foolishness, and Divine Providence. From a Lutheran kid who once called Catholics “cannibals” to a man discipled into joy by Fr. Eric Shield, Kyle’s story proves God’s grace has a wild sense of humor. He went from writing a handwritten list of 20 reasons to become Catholic to completely falling away in college, only to find his way home through a Life Teen summer, daily holy hours, and an unexpected transfer to Franciscan University (where he met his future wife Angela)
 
Kyle shares two lines that changed his life: “If you’re humble and submissive to Christ, you’ll find peace in all you do,” and “Abandonment to the Father frees you from anxiety about tomorrow.” Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein mix in wisdom, laughter, and a few “ball-and-chain” lessons of their own as they remind us that holiness doesn’t start with perfection; it starts with surrender, a smile, and sometimes, a breakfast gone wrong.

Protractors and Providence | Kyle Hatfield | Episode #264

Investigate the ways in which music has been influenced by different faith traditions through cultural exchange and collaboration as we continue Music Week. Also, Deacon Harold looks into Soulful Psalm 124

Music Week – Cross Cultural Influences

Rod Dreher is a bestselling author and cultural critic known for his incisive commentary on faith, politics, and modern society. His landmark books The Benedict Option and Live Not By Lies have shaped conversations on Christian resilience in an age of decline, while his newest work, Living in Wonder, turns inward, exploring beauty, suffering, and the search for meaning. Dreher's voice is unapologetically countercultural, drawing on Orthodox Christianity and a deep skepticism of modern ideological conformity. 🍺 Want to Support Pints With Aquinas? 🍺 Get episodes a week early, score a free PWA beer stein, and join exclusive live streams with me!

Tyranny and the Post-Christian West (Rod Dreher) | Ep. 532

When we are in a position of leadership law can sometimes seem cumbersome.  And as Christian leaders we’ve developed our sense of autonomy and freedom and love to the point where many of us wonder why do we need rules in the church at all?  Sometimes it can be tempting to say, “those in charge make the rules” and that’s why the life of our Lord can be disconcerting.  Because he followed the law.  In this final part of our examination of Aquinas’ teaching on the life of our Lord, we draw valuable insights from the example of Christ for our lives as leaders today.

WOF 070: God and Netflix's "The Crown"

Today Deacon Harold is talking about finding joy in our life. He's talking to students at St. Susanna Parish School in Mason, OH.

Finding True Joy

This happens all the time. A faithful Catholic gets invited to what they know will be an invalid wedding. Perhaps it&#39;s the wedding of a divorced family member, or a cousin getting married outside the Church, or a same-sex wedding of an old high school friend. 

What is the person to do? The nice Christians will tell you to, without question, attend the wedding and celebrate with the loved one. The rigid Christians might say there is no circumstance in which you should attend. What&#39;s the right answer? 

Today, we look deeply at this question and seek to find the right solution.
