<h3>We’re back, and life got real</h3>It has been the lightest recording stretch the show has had in almost ten years. Adam owns the delay and explains why. Since the last episode, baby Mary arrived very early at around 27 weeks and about two pounds. She was baptized immediately, and there is a question about whether she was also confirmed due to the use of holy oils and the circumstances.A few days after birth, Mary underwent an intense and invasive surgery that lasted more than six hours. The surgeon later said it was the hardest operation he had ever performed. The procedure connected her esophagus to her stomach, and the family is now living the day to day reality of the NICU: small adjustments, constant monitoring, and a careful balance with oxygen, blood pressure, heart rate, and long term risks.<h3>The charity that is hard to receive</h3>A theme that keeps surfacing is gratitude, and how hard it can be to receive help when you want to be in control. Adam and David thank listeners for prayers, meals, transportation help, and the quiet generosity that shows up when you least expect it.They give a major shoutout to the Ronald McDonald House, which provided a place for the family to stay near the hospital, along with meals and support that would have been financially impossible otherwise. Adam also mentions friends and patrons who opened their homes and brought food. It is a reminder that “village” is not a cliché when your world turns upside down.Also, in the middle of all this, Adam’s son Leo drops a classic kid moment at Mass: during a serious homily he leans over and asks when he will get to meet J.B. Mooney, the professional bull rider. Fatherhood keeps you humble.<h3>What they’re drinking</h3>David brings a bottle from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society featuring Royal Brackla. The tasting notes are ridiculous in the best way, described like “dessert in the workshop,” with custard, toffee chunks, marshmallow, and an unexpected “carpenter’s shop” vibe. It even has a hint of iodine that makes David think of Islay, without the heavy peat and smoke.<h3>A relic in the hotel room</h3>A priest from the diocese drops off a first class relic of St. Gemma, telling Adam to keep it while the family walks through this trial. Adam and David talk about the reality of having the body of a saint in the room with you, and the comfort that brings, especially when the road ahead is long.<h3>Lent and temperance: not a “no,” but a “yes”</h3>The episode’s main topic is temperance, framed as the Lenten virtue that touches everything. The simple kid definition they love is: temperance is having a healthy amount of everything. Not perfect, but memorable.They push back against the idea that temperance is just restriction. Temperance is not merely refusing the extra piece of cake. It is also the positive ordering of your life so you can say yes to the right things at the right time in the right way: exercise, prayer, rest, work, family presence, joy, celebration.The key theme: virtue is always a yes. The “no” exists to protect the “yes.”<h3>St. John Cassian and the “bread” of Sodom</h3>One of the most interesting turns comes from St. John Cassian’s Institutes. Cassian argues that Sodom’s first sin was not the obvious sin people associate with Sodom and Gomorrah. He points to Ezekiel and emphasizes surplus, abundance, and gluttony. Cassian’s logic is that the disorder starts low and spreads upward: feed the appetite, then the passions grow louder, the will weakens, and eventually the mind rationalizes what it should never have chosen.They connect this to the common sense link between food appetites and sexual appetites. If you cannot curb the basic, you will struggle to curb the higher.A line that lands: If you can’t say no, your yes means nothing.<h3>Pleasure, pain, and spiritual clarity</h3>Adam shares a sharp thought: pleasure clouds judgment faster than pain. Suffering, especially voluntary suffering, tends to focus the mind. It wakes you up and forces clarity. That is why fasting can sharpen spiritual vision. It reveals attachments you thought you did not have.They bring in Father Anselm Stolz’s point: ascetic practices are not the end. The end is contemplation, union with God, and becoming more like Christ. The danger for men is turning Lent into an achievement badge, turning penance into pride, and making the self the center.<h3>Temperance orders the whole man</h3>They outline a hierarchy: God, reason, will, passions, body. Temperance helps keep the order intact, so the higher rules the lower and the lower serves the higher. When the passions take the driver’s seat, the will becomes a servant, reason gets distorted, and you can rationalize sin quickly or slowly over years.They also emphasize something many men miss: the temperate man feasts. Feasting well matters. If you do not fast, you will not feast well. If you cannot feast temperately, your fasting might be more about control than freedom.<h3>Practical takeaways for dads</h3>One of the best “take this home” moments is teaching kids delayed gratification. The classic M&amp;M test becomes a simple, memorable way to form a child in temperance. Kids have wildly different reactions, and that is the point. You are building the muscle of waiting for the greater good.They also offer a gut check for adults: a good test of temperance is how you feast, not only how you fast. If Sundays turn into chaos, bingeing, and excuses, something is off. The goal is freedom.<h3>Closing thought</h3>Lent is a season of no so you can say yes. Mastery before glory. The Christian life is not an empty handed life. It is abundance in the right order.

If You Can’t Say No, Your Yes Means Nothing

Most people today have an appreciation for leadership, but many people still have the question as to what the difference is between a wordly leader and a Christian leader.  Of course there is no better place to find an answer to this question than by asking Jesus Himself.  In his parables Jesus reveals many keen insights into how He view leadership.  In this third of our three part series we’ll finish our exploration of the parables and the insights they give as to what is a genuinely spiritual leadership.

How Can I Find Healing? w/ Dr. Bob Schuchts

Today I'm joined by Fr. Damian Ference to discuss Aquinas &amp; Augustine. How they complement each other, how Aquinas builds upon Augustine, and why you still should be reading Augustine even if you're an Aquinas geek. ... Like me. Get Fr. Ference's new book, The Strangeness of Truth <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Strangeness-Truth-Vibrant-Faith-World/dp/0819891266">here</a>. Check out Exodus 90 <a href="https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/">here</a>. --- Become a patron (THANKS!) <a href="https://pintswithaquinas.com/donate/">here</a>. --- Here's what we read from Aquinas in today's episode: On the contrary, Augustine says (Gen. ad lit. vi, 12): "Man's excellence consists in the fact that God made him to His own image by giving him an intellectual soul, which raises him above the beasts of the field." Therefore things without intellect are not made to God's image. I answer that, Not every likeness, not even what is copied from something else, is sufficient to make an image; for if the likeness be only generic, or existing by virtue of some common accident, this does not suffice for one thing to be the image of another. For instance, a worm, though from man it may originate, cannot be called man's image, merely because of the generic likeness. Nor, if anything is made white like something else, can we say that it is the image of that thing; for whiteness is an accident belonging to many species. But the nature of an image requires likeness in species; thus the image of the king exists in his son: or, at least, in some specific accident, and chiefly in the shape; thus, we speak of a man's image in copper. Whence Hilary says pointedly that "an image is of the same species." ST I, Q. 93 A. 2.

147: Aquinas & Augustine (Best tag team ever), W/ Fr. Damian Ference

Have you ever felt like you were in a box?   Like no matter what you chose in life there were already predetermined outcomes and there’s nothing you could do that could change it?  Few things will kill the heart and ability of a leader more quickly than fatalism.  An attitude that says it’s not even worth trying because you won’t make any difference. Funny thing is, we’re not the first people to face fatalism.  We’re not the first people to face the boxes that life presents to us.  True leaders find a way to become creative anyway and Christian leaders become creative with Christ.  Let’s look at St. Paul as an example.

DGT Episode 247 -Flipping The Script - St. Paul The Leader Part 3

Jesus announces that His &quot;hour&quot; has arrived and the Almighty Father&apos;s voice is heard. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by building the Virtue of Fraternity so he can build friendships and draw men to Jesus Christ and by seeking the Fruit of Generosity from the Holy Spirit so he can persistently pray that all people will be converted to Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church.

Episode 152 - Jesus announces that His "hour" has arrived and the Almighty Father's voice is heard - Sunday March 17, 2024 - Jn 12:20-33

Lent is over, but this isn’t the end. It’s the beginning.

This Easter, let's look at what it means to live as a resurrected people, not just celebrate for a day. The question now is simple: will you return to old habits, or prepare your heart for Pentecost and the life Christ is inviting you into?

Happy Easter to You and Your Family

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 hear Jesus, the Son of God and Divine Judge, reveal the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus as a warning that every man will be held strictly accountable for his failure to care for those who are suffering and reveals the frightening reality of Hell.  We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to to grow in the Virtue of Fortitude so he continually identifies and confronts his sins of omission. We’ll also consider the importance of of the Virtue of Generosity and the requirement for every Catholic man to reject indifference and be abundantly generous.

Episode 32 - Jesus offers a grave warning about the necessity of caring for others in the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus - Lenten Daily Gospel Bible Study - Thursday March 9, 2023 - Lk 16:19-31

Jesus mysteriously appears after the Resurrection and admonishes the doubting Thomas. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by building the Virtue of Diligence so he can confront his sins daily and go to Confession at least monthly and by seeking the Gift of Knowledge from the Holy Spirit so he can grow in knowledge of the Catholic faith.

Episode 65 - Jesus mysteriously appears after the Resurrection and admonishes the doubting Thomas - Sunday Mass Prep - April 16, 2023 - Jn 20:19-31

It’s easy to follow Jesus when everything is good. It’s much harder to stay with Him when He is suffering. The question is simple but challenging: will you stay with Him, or will you move on to what’s more comfortable? John walks through the reality of Holy Week and why so many of us are tempted to skip past the cross on our way to Easter.

This is an invitation to do more than go through the motions. It is a call to be present, to stay in the garden, to stand at the cross, and to walk with Jesus through every moment of this week.

Holy Week: Stay With Him

What if the most important battlefield in spiritual warfare isn’t out there but inside your own home?In Part 5 of this spiritual warfare series, we expose the quiet, relentless attack on the family. Division, distraction, impurity, anger, and spiritual apathy are just some of the ways Satan infilitrates our homes. Divide and conquer. From the Garden of Eden to today, the target has always been the same: the family. And God has already assigned the role of defender.Men, the defender is you...You are not called to dominate, but to protect. Not to control, but to sacrifice. Scripture is clear. The home is a domestic church, and like any church, it must be defended.This episode breaks down:<ul><li>Why the enemy targets your family first</li><li>The spiritual authority given to husbands and fathers</li><li>How disorder invites chaos into your home</li><li>Simple, practical actions that drive out darkness</li><li>Real examples from saints and exorcists that prove this battle is real</li></ul>If your home lacks peace, prayer, and order, this episode will show you why—and what to do about it.The question is not whether the battle is happening. The question is whether you are standing your ground.The Challenge: Ask yourself honestly: Am I guarding what God has entrusted to me? Then act. Lead prayer. Establish order. Step into your authority. Start today.Powerful Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>“Demons go where they are not resisted.”</li><li>“A man’s role is not control. It is responsibility.”</li><li>“What we do in the home matters in the spiritual realm.”</li></ol>Products / Resources Mentioned:<ul><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.mysticmonkcoffee.com/" target="_blank">Mystic Monk Coffee</a></li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Deliverance-Prayers-Fr-Chad-Ripperger/dp/154105671X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=10KJ00DRP3AU7&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.MIpHcM2d-0AJHKAAl8pbqQzU6DOsZTlK7l6vi5-43diWH_jgGbh0Gnh_GFeakvAdUdkhJoi0OC041vCVdInSMKfIAp3jDeOvvurPS937dJG0Rjd8iTl1MfWxyUwafSIdXulkB1P7_pvXzSzTXH0H8mBSl5B6VceOCjsrPKnszXZCAGNBt2Pyz1MZho1r36sj_sKQXj_ah4g3aQnmgHzdNASpdyv2FRikCFHnlcLYTac.QIfxAvxgKZ5TRnzOQRXD1VY-owaik8rXVtOGiCPkQI4&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=deliverance+prayers+for+the+laity&amp;qid=1773827009&amp;sprefix=deliverance+pra%2Caps%2C156&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">Deliverance Prayers for Use by the Laity</a></li><li>Download <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tanbooks.com/tan-digital-app/" target="_blank">TAN Digital </a>to access the incredible TAN Library!

From Baptist to Catholic: His Journey Home

All of us in our life will know betrayal.  All of us in life will know disappointment by friends.  The question is what will we do with that?  How can we, engaging in great things, cope with this strike to the heart of being betrayed?  Today we are looking at the gospel of St. Mark we’ll see what God has to say and how we can move forward.

DGT Episode 18 - Betrayal - Mark 14

The life of King Solomon is exceptional in many ways.  From his virtue to his success to his covenant with God, the life of King Solomon serves as a great example and inspiration for Christian leaders.  Nevertheless, not everything about the life of this great king is admirable.  Like all of us he had faults and failings.  And because he did not deal with them effectively these became the source of his downfall.  And in his failure as much as his victory we can also learn how to lead.

DGT Episode 349 - Falling From The Heights - King Solomon Part 6

Spin the Bible wheel to find a verse that is speaking to you! Today Deacon Harold brings out The Bible Randomizer as we continue Holy Week.

The Bible Randomizer

Every leader has a call. Every call has a story.  St. Peter was called by Christ to dare great things, but he was called to dare great things because he was loved by Christ and knew it.  Discovering Christ’s love for you gives courage and incentive to strike out and follow him on the paths where he leads.

DGT Episode 39 - The Leader's Call In St. Peter - St. Peter Part 2

The Director of Player Development and Recruiting Coordinator for the Tulane University men's basketball team, a position that he took approximately a year-and-a-half ago after having been special assistant to the head coach at Georgia State. Before that he served as an assistant coach at Henderson State, which came after a two-year stint at Northwood University where he finished up as associate head coach. He has also been Director of Basketball Operations at Miami University in Ohio, where he had played for four years.

EP 172 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

The BeatiDudes welcome John Bishop for a conversation that is equal parts hilarious, thoughtful, and deeply moving. Along the way, John shares the remarkable story of returning home to Iowa, founding Forge, and witnessing what feels like a small miracle through his father's faithful determination. With Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein bringing their usual mix of humor and heart, the episode moves from dinner plans and on-air phone calls to a rich reflection on family, vocation, and the kind of fatherhood that leaves a lasting mark. 
 
John also opens up about his own faith journey, including a season in college when he wrestled seriously with whether he believed Catholicism because it was true or simply because it was what he had inherited. His story of searching, doubting, exploring other religions, and ultimately returning to the Church offers a powerful witness for anyone who has ever struggled to make the faith their own. The conversation also highlights the importance of fathers, authentic male friendship, and the kind of community that helps raise sons into faithful, grounded men. 
 
The episode closes with a look at the mission of Forge and the practical resources John and his team are building for fathers, grandfathers, and men who want to live integrated lives at home, at work, and in the faith. It is a fun-filled bonus episode with plenty of laughs, but underneath the humor is a serious and hopeful challenge: men need formation, families need strong fathers, and the Church needs communities that help faith endure from one generation to the next.

Also looking into Soulful Psalm 21:9-14.
