Annoyance

What if the faith you grew up with became your deepest source of shame? Here's jhow Chris Mann went from trying to be perfect for God to nearly losing himself completely. He spiraled into self-harm and isolation&mdash;haunted by scriptures he thought were commands. Every failure felt like proof he was beyond saving.
But everything shifted at a retreat he didn&rsquo;t expect. That&rsquo;s where Chris met Christ&mdash;not as a rule-giver, but as someone who saw him fully and loved him anyway. That moment cracked his entire belief system wide open.
This is how Chris began to heal&mdash;not by fixing his behavior, but by learning he was never alone. He didn&rsquo;t have to earn love. He just had to receive it.

"As Numerous As the Stars": The Faith of Abraham | Mthr Natalia

Sin brings in its wake a barrage of emotional consequences and external damages. If the sin has long-term effects, we can feel substantial guilt and often shame for our failings and selfishness. This same thing can happen if the sin is habitual or uniquely toxic. How do you heal from shame, overcome guilt, and rightly order your life to avoid despair and frustration? Today, we discuss how men either become weak or foolishly arrogant in response to the shame they experience. We want to make sure you understand the difference between guilt and shame, the benefits they can bring to your life, as well as tactics to consistently move forward.✅ We love to answer questions on the show.

Sin, Shame, and What's at Stake

From Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (“The Big Dumper”) to Cracker Barrel pancakes to mother-son saints, Father Dave and Deacon Bob serve up another classic mix of sports, pop culture, and faith. This week’s wide-ranging conversation moves from baseball nicknames and Ryder Cup golf to the Solemn Blessing of Christ the King Chapel and Franciscan University’s theme for the year: keeping Jesus at the center. 
Along the way, they debate Cracker Barrel’s new logo, celebrate St. Monica and St. Augustine, and swap stories from recent travels to Corpus Christi and Superior. And since the podcast is nearing its final episodes, they invite listeners to share both favorite nicknames and treasured podcast memories as this chapter draws to a close.

177: What is faith? (Apostles Creed #1)

Today we'll ask Aquinas about whether or not Mary remained a virgin her entire life. Thanks to the following awesome people who are supporting Pints With Aquinas on Patreon: Jack Buss! ... You're the man, Jack. Tim Davolt, Chris Reintjes, Tom Dickson, David Young, Andrew Kener, Desirae Sifuentes, and Sean McNicholl. James Boehmler, Laura Suttenfield, John Hipp, Kathleen Cory, Sarah Jacobs, Fernando Enrile, Travis Headly, Matthew Lafitte, Russell T Potee III, Jed Florstat, Phillip Hadden, and Katie Kuchar, Tom Clark, Ben Blythe, Trevor Sorensen, Russell Potee III, James Governale, Benjamin Morris, and John Droesch. You can support Pints With Aquinas here: Patreon.com/pwa --- Without any hesitation we must abhor the error of Helvidius, who dared to assert that Christ's Mother, after His Birth, was carnally known by Joseph, and bore other children. For, in the first place, this is derogatory to Christ's perfection: for as He is in His Godhead the Only-Begotten of the Father, being thus His Son in every respect perfect, so it was becoming that He should be the Only-begotten son of His Mother, as being her perfect offspring. Secondly, this error is an insult to the Holy Ghost, whose "shrine" was the virginal womb ["Sacrarium Spiritus Sancti" (Office of B. M. V., Ant. ad Benedictus, T. P.), wherein He had formed the flesh of Christ: wherefore it was unbecoming that it should be desecrated by intercourse with man. Thirdly, this is derogatory to the dignity and holiness of God's Mother: for thus she would seem to be most ungrateful, were she not content with such a Son; and were she, of her own accord, by carnal intercourse to forfeit that virginity which had been miraculously preserved in her. Fourthly, it would be tantamount to an imputation of extreme presumption in Joseph, to assume that he attempted to violate her whom by the angel's revelation he knew to have conceived by the Holy Ghost. We must therefore simply assert that the Mother of God, as she was a virgin in conceiving Him and a virgin in giving Him birth, did she remain a virgin ever afterwards. ST III Q. 28, A. 3.

There’s a common thread among thousands of formerly sinful people we now call Saints.

They had a relationship with God.

Which then inspired them to ‘set the world on fire’ as Catherine of Sienna put it.

But, more specifically, it meant they put in the time.

They sat with the Lord. Spoke with Him. Listened to Him.

Daily.

They unveiled their hearts and wounds and problems to Him.

They offered him thanks and gratitude.

They left their sufferings with Him on the altar.

They begged for His help.

My question to you: are you putting in the time?

I’m not talking about time to just talk at Him or sit in church making a mental grocery list. I’m talking about time to build a consistent, honest relationship. Time to speak, and time to listen.

Whether you want to pray a daily holy hour or hit up adoration once a week, I have a guide here from the makers of Exodus 90 specifically about praying a Holy Hour.

Inside, you’ll find a simple breakdown that shows you how to structure your time with the Lord.

Today, John and Sam are excited to announce a new host to our show, Devin Schadt. He will be joining us weekly to answer the tough questions that men face and add to the depth of knowledge and discussion. This week we talk about warning signs that your wife is not feeling loved. We open up about what we have each learned about truly loving our wives and the many ways that we have failed. We then go into the importance of this topic and how by understanding the nature of women, we can be the husbands they need and the husband God is calling us to be. 
Finally, each week we are going to answer one of your questions during the podcast. This week we have a question from a father about how to be present to his kids after a long and exhausting day at work. If you have any questions, please, record yourself on your phone and send us the audio clip to <a href="mailto:podcast@catholicgentleman.com">podcast@catholicgentleman.com</a>. Or just send us your question and we will read it on air.

To Rest in Him

Shouldn’t it all be easy?  That’s a question we a lot of us ask ourselves as we lead our businesses and work with our children – we have a dream in our mind, a kind of nostalgia, that life should be at least easy if we are good at it.  And we all want to be good at it so we think somehow or other that troubles or difficulties are signs of failure.  But that’s not what the life of King David shows us.  By looking at how King David dealth with trials we can learn a little bit more about our own.

Change is inevitable! And most people hate it. &nbsp;We have to get better at our ability to adapt to changes in our environment, our plans, and the bigger things in our lives (e.g. relationships ending, getting laid off, having to move). &nbsp;
In this episode, Nathan breaks down some great practical tips on how we can become more adaptable and make the most out of both minor and major setbacks. He breaks down some good processes for making good decisions in the midst of adversity.&nbsp;

Ep 10 | Dealing with Change

How are Christians called to respond to the polarization of our nation? How should we respond to the rioting and looting of stores? How do we navigate the difficult conversations around these things and racism that must be had?&nbsp;
In part three of three, Bobby Angel and Nathan Crankfield walk through all of these things. Their conversation is based on the third letter that Nathan wrote on faith and racism from his perspective as a Catholic biracial Army veteran.&nbsp;

Ep 8 | Black and White Like Me feat. Bobby Angel (part 3)

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 the Almighty Father, speak directly to fathers and reveal that the Almighty Father’s love of His children is greater than even an earthly father’s love of his son. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to strive to build the virtue of orderliness so he can build the skills and discipline to have an active daily prayer life. We’ll also consider the importance of for every Catholic man to grow in the Virtue of Perseverance so he can always persist in prayer when it seems that God is not answering his prayers.

From Wicca to Christ -- Shocking Content Warning! (Vesper Stamper) | Ep. 414

Sometimes even the best leaders can forget that in the end leadership isn’t about them.  If we are leading our people, it’s to lead them to something bigger than ourselves and sometimes we have to die to ourselves in order to bring people to something that will really be good for them.  At Cana in Galilee the Virgin Mary triggers a series of events that will lead to our Lord’s crucifixion and death.  She hastens the hour of its coming even though that means that she will have to say goodbye sooner.  She teaches us how to lead even when that means saying goodbye.

115: Tell us about your argument from motion

During the past five decades, the Second Vatican Council has been alternately celebrated or maligned for its supposed break with tradition and embrace of the modern world. But what if we've gotten it all wrong? Have Catholics—both those who embrace the spirit of Vatican II and those who regard it with suspicion—misunderstood what the council was really about? Fr. Blake Britton discovered the truth and beauty of the council while he was in seminary and he has witnessed firsthand the power of its teachings in the life of his own parish. In his new book, <a href= "https://wordonfire.org/reclaim">Reclaiming Vatican II: What It (Really) Said, What It Means, and How It Calls Us to Renew the Church</a>, Britton presses beyond the political narrative foisted upon the post-conciliar Church and contends that Vatican II was neither conservative nor liberal, but something much more beautiful and challenging. Today, Word on Fire Institute Fellow Robert Mixa sits down with Fr. Britton to discuss how Catholics can reclaim the teaching of Vatican II and embrace it as one of our greatest resources for being in the Church in a way that is faithful, engaged, and effective if we answer its radical call to worship and renewal.

How do you reach a generation that won&rsquo;t talk in person&mdash;but opens up online? In this episode of Heroic Hotline, meet Alex Pacheco&mdash;aka The Catholic Gamer&mdash;who turned Fortnite matches with his kids into a thriving digital faith community. What began as bonding time during the pandemic quickly evolved into a Discord-based mission field where young men felt safe to share struggles, seek advice, and explore faith.
Discover how video games&mdash;often blamed for isolation&mdash;became a gateway to real connection, emotional growth, and spiritual breakthroughs. Alex shares how Gen Z and Alpha, more fluent in digital dialogue than face-to-face conversation, find healing and identity in online squads. Through voice chat and gameplay, young men opened up about anxiety, loneliness, and purpose&mdash;topics they&rsquo;d never touch in a classroom or church basement.
This isn&rsquo;t just a feel-good story. It&rsquo;s a challenge: What if the Church entered the battlefield where boys already are? Alex&rsquo;s work through Intercession Gaming combines digital catechesis, mentorship, and esports into a living ministry&mdash;proving that even battle royales can lead to the Cross.

On this Good Friday, we share Bishop Barron's "Tre Ore" reflections, which Cardinal Dolan invited him to deliver in 2012 at St. Patrick's Cathedral (New York, NY). The "Tre Ore," or Three Hours' Agony, is a liturgical service held on Good Friday from noon until three o'clock to commemorate the Passion of Christ, and includes a series of homilies on the seven last words spoken by Christ. Bishop's seven reflections last around 90 minutes, so we encourage you to listen to them sometime today. <ul> <li>1:24 - Introduction</li> <li>5:31 - First Word ("Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.")</li> <li>18:11 - Second Word ("Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.")</li> <li>34:08 - Third Word ("Woman, behold your son... Behold your mother.")</li> <li>46:36 - Fourth Word ("My God, my God, why have your forsaken me?")</li> <li>1:02:49 - Fifth Word ("I thirst.")</li> <li>1:12:43 - Sixth Word ("Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.")</li> <li>1:20:44 - Seventh Word ("It is finished.")</li> <li>1:28:10 - Conclusion</li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bishopbarron">Become a patron</a> and get some great perks for helping, like free books, bonus content, and more.

SPECIAL: Bishop Barron's "Tre Ore" Reflections

Everyone in the Catholic world seems to have a strong opinion on the topic. Should Catholic moms give up their careers to stay home? Some say it&#39;s a resounding YES while others say that it&#39;s completely up to her personal desires or calling. 
 
In this episode, Emily and I share our thoughts on our own journey of understanding the value of being a stay at home mom and whether we believe it&#39;s a universal call or simply a personal choice.

Have you ever wondered about the intersection of sports and faith? James recently had the honor of journeying on an enlightening conversation with Tim Hill from TAN Books, who shared his unique journey from the world of sports broadcasting to Catholic literature. He gave us a firsthand account of his experiences in sports journalism and how these experiences shaped his perspective on faith and character formation in youth sports. Tim also gave us a deep dive into his current work at TAN Books, particularly the Tan Classics Deluxe Edition series. He passionately explained why this series was created and how it serves as a precious goldmine for Catholic readers.

Ep 87 - From the Super Bowl to Sacred Texts: Tim Hill's Story

Fr. Dom explores the themes of being prophets, the significance of baptism, the history of the split of the 12 tribes of Israel, the role of the apostles in uniting the tribes, and the call for all Catholics to be prophets in their own way. In this homily, he encourages us to embrace our baptism and use it as a source of strength and unity. He touches on the power of prayer and fasting, the importance of never giving up on praying for those who have fallen away from the Catholic faith, and the various ways in which individuals can be prophets. Takeaways <ol><li>We are called to be prophets and mouthpieces of God, just like Amos and the apostles.</li><li>Baptism is a powerful gift that connects us to God and gives us the strength to be prophets.</li><li>The split in the 12 tribes of Israel was a result of division, schism, and idolatry.</li><li>The apostles, as bishops, unite the tribes and continue the work of baptism and bringing restoration and unity.</li><li>All Catholics are called to be prophets in their own way, whether through evangelization, prayer, fasting, or other means.</li></ol> Sound Bites <ul><li>"Original sin is wiped away. Wow. Nothing wipes away original sin. Original sin is the effect of Adam and Eve in the garden. We're born into it. Nothing gets rid of it except baptism."</li><li>"And I'll do it. And he unites the 12 tribes finally with the 12 apostles. That's a huge connection that we need to make as Catholics. That the tribes have been united."</li><li>"Guess what? You are prophets. You are the mouthpiece of God. And the baptism gives you strength and confession and the Eucharist and confirmation. That's what you're called to do."</li></ul>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://www.patreon.com/themanlycatholic?fan_landing=true" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Patreon</a> page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Becoming a Prophet of Our Time, A Homily with Fr. Dom

The BeatiDudes are back at the Tiny Table with Patrick Thornton from Catholic.Store and Tiny Saints. 
Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein start the episode with playful banter about names, shirts, and biceps, before Patrick shares a heartfelt family story that changed his life. Not too long ago, Patrick’s oldest son survived a serious car accident, spent weeks recovering, and then stood at his wedding after a last-minute clearance from the doctor. 
The conversation turns to the gift of proximity, since all six Thornton kids now live within fifteen minutes of mom and dad in Irving. Patrick talks about ordinary names that feel wonderfully normal, the joy of grandparent life, and why Texas weather just works. The crew riffs on Tiny Saints as small reminders with a big mission, previews the red tiny table activation for the Catholic Music Initiative concert, and laughs through Catholic dad jokes, Tim Tebow sightings, and a legendary line delivered to Pudge Rodriguez. 
The show is equal parts comedy and consolation, the kind of episode that leaves you grateful for faith, family, and friends who keep showing up.
