What if the biggest thing holding men back... was the pain they never talk about?
In this raw and revealing episode, Catholic men&rsquo;s coach Kenneth Harouff joins Sean to unpack the hidden struggles men carry&mdash;addiction, isolation, spiritual burnout, emotional wounds&mdash;and why just &ldquo;being more spiritual&rdquo; isn&rsquo;t enough. With honesty and deep compassion, Kenneth shares how real healing begins when men stop hiding, start reaching out, and surround themselves with wise, courageous brothers.
You&rsquo;ll learn how spiritual bypass keeps men stuck, why vulnerability is the key to transformation, and what practical steps any man can take right now to begin healing. From confronting past trauma to building authentic brotherhood, this episode gives you a new lens for understanding what real strength looks like.
Whether you&rsquo;re battling burnout or just sensing something&rsquo;s off, this is a call to stop going it alone&mdash;and start becoming the man God created you to be.

He excelled in three different sports. As a boxer he competed in the Catholic intramural boxing league's lightweight division and won 80% of his fights by knockout, the rest by points. He was nearly undefeated, losing only one fight. In basketball, he was the only white player, starting guard, on an all-black basketball team in Pittsburgh intramural League. His team won the championship and had an undefeated season. And, in the men's softball championship in Pittsburgh, he hit the winning walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth, resulting in his team taking the championship and carrying him on their shoulders in celebration. He is an Academy Award-considered filmmaker, best-selling novelist, and a guitarist who has composed over one thousand songs. His latest family faith-based film has won 15 awards at film festivals and can be seen for free on Amazon.

You can&rsquo;t live as a true Christian man on your own. In Chapter Four, Holy Spirit, we enter the heart of power, purpose, and surrender. This chapter kicks off a four-part focus on the forgotten third person of the Trinity&mdash;who isn&rsquo;t just a &ldquo;spiritual idea&rdquo; but the fire and force that makes Christian living possible. &ldquo;You will receive power,&rdquo; Jesus said. And most of us are still trying to live without it. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

This episode was supposed to be Live from PNC Park… Until wind, hail, and freezing temps benched those plans.  
Instead, Father Dave and Deacon Bob recap what didn’t happen at the Pirates game—and what did happen at Petco Park, Jackie Robinson Day, and the Pierogi Race. They also cheer for Rory McIlroy’s long-awaited Masters win, reminisce about $300 Air Jordans and train robbers, and share a touching moment from an alumni visit to California.  
They close with rich reflections on the beauty of the Triduum—from foot washing and Good Friday sorrow to the light of the Easter Vigil.

He currently also serves as a board member of the funding arm of the International Catholic Migration Commission.

Ep 25: Forgiveness - The Foundation for Ending the War Inside of You

Jason Shanks doesn&rsquo;t just talk about transformation&mdash;he lived it. After a near-death experience with COVID-19, Shanks discovered the absolute necessity of divine intimacy with God. As a convert to Catholicism, he learned firsthand how the Holy Spirit pulls people into faith, showing that real connection with God is about relationship, not just ritual.
His battle with COVID-19 wasn&rsquo;t just physical; it was spiritual warfare. Prayer and the intercession of his community were game-changers in his recovery. Shanks dives deep into what intimacy with God really means, comparing it to the covenant of marriage and the Eucharist.&nbsp;
He challenges men to strip away the distractions of the world, embrace vulnerability, and fight for their spiritual lives. This is about building authentic relationships with God and each other&mdash;no shortcuts, no compromises.

WOF 262: Has Liberalism Failed? w/ Dave Rubin (part 2 of 2)

Reflection: Like St. Joseph, the humble guardian of the Holy Family and all creation, heroic men are called to renew their vocation as stewards and protectors in the Church&mdash;tilling and keeping God's garden through wise dominion that reflects divine love, not exploitation. In a world scarred by neglect, men's renewal means exercising "ministerial lordship" with justice, safeguarding faith, family, and earth for the common good, ensuring creation's fruits reach all. Daily Challenge: Commit to one act of stewardship in your parish or community&mdash;e.g., clean and beautify church grounds, mentor a younger man in faith, or adopt an eco-friendly habit at home&mdash;reporting progress to your buddy to foster fraternal accountability and renewal. Prayer: St. Joseph, silent protector of Christ and creation, renew us men as faithful stewards in the Church; inspire our care for God's gifts, that we may build His kingdom with wisdom and love. Amen.

WOF 208: The Queen of the Sciences

What happens when the world’s top golfer says faith—not golf—is his top priority? 
Father Dave and Deacon Bob kick off this episode with that headline-grabbing story, plus summer sports updates, movie reviews, and a powerful look at how God is moving through this year’s youth conferences. 
They cover everything from the MLB All-Star Game and Father Dave’s baseball “betrayal” (attending games without Bob) to a heartfelt reflection on Scottie Scheffler’s British Open win—and why his grounded priorities made bigger headlines than his major win. Father Dave also reviews the new Superman movie, featuring Krypto the Superdog, while Deacon Bob tries to catch up on Fantastic Four before heading overseas. 
But the heart of the episode is ministry: stories from Steubenville Youth Conferences where teens received the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and lives were changed through the theme “Consumed.” Father Dave shares insights from a friars’ retreat on hope as a spiritual discipline, while Bob prepares for a whirlwind ministry tour in the Philippines, Australia, and beyond (with protein bars and peanut butter in tow). 
Naturally, there are tangents galore: a drone demo gone off-script, global food fears, and a preview of Franciscan’s upcoming Christ the King Chapel dedication. But through it all, the message is clear: Hope doesn’t disappoint—it transforms.

Why an Oxford Student Studied Church History and Became a Catholic Christian | Conversion Testimony

Reflection: As a carpenter, Joseph provided for the Holy Family through honest labor. Justice in heroic virtue means fair dealings and generosity, imitating God's eternal law. Pope Pius XII entrusted youth to Joseph for such steadfast care. Daily Challenge: Perform an act of generous giving, like tithing extra or helping a neighbor in need. Prayer: St. Joseph, provider of Nazareth, inspire my work to honor God and support others.(Make a challenge to another man to join you.)

Day 3 Practicing Just Provision | Kevin O'Brien

Is 'The Catholic Man' and endangered species? Unlike any other endangered species, The Catholic Man is destroying himself by giving in to the evils of the current culture. 
In this presentation, Deacon Harold explains that, by 'Putting on the Armour of God', described by St Paul in Ephesians 6, we can combat the influence of the culture and be the men God created and calls each one be.

David Kang | Finding The Way Home

Fasting is one of the most underrated and underappreciated weapons in our arsenal. Unfortunately, too many of us do not use this tool enough to fight off Satan and his demons. Hey, it may even help you get a 6-pack too! Pretty cool, huh? The Bible and the Catechism tells us fasting, almsgiving, and penance are three main players to increase our spiritual life. If it's good enough to be in the Bible (even Jesus talks about it!) and the Catechism, it is good enough for me!  Keep listening to find out Father Dom's Yeti story, why fasting is beneficial both spiritually and physically, and how we can use this tool to our advantage. Father Dom's Challenge: Figure out a way to implement more fasting into your life. For most of us, fasting from food is our primary fast. If that's the case, intermittent fasting is the way to go! But, some of us need to fast from other things. Sports? Cars? Gambling? Social media? Alcohol? We all struggle in some way and each struggle is an opportunity to give it up to God and grow in virtue!

The Three Keys With Fr. James Malon (Replay)

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control... If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit." - Galatians 5: 22-25
By the way we live and how we treat people, our lives produce some type of fruit. The sort of fruit our lives produce has eternal consequences for us personally as well as a profound impact on those people we love. In fact, our fruit impacts all of our relationships, from the most casual to the most intimate. When we live animated by the Holy Spirit, our lives produce fruit that not only makes our own life more peaceful, patient, and loving but also influences positively those whom we encounter each and every day.

Humility gives us the wisdom to understand our strengths and weaknesses (or talents and non-talents) so that we can use our own gifts for the glory of God and recognize the contribution of others.

Work is a reflection of our social nature. When we work, “we don’t just make more, we become more.” We flourish and grow our God given gifts and talents as we provide services for the common good of our community.

Reflection: Joseph's trade taught Jesus humility. Labor sanctified becomes heroic when offered for the Church. Daily Challenge: Dedicate your workday to St. Joseph; perform one extra task excellently. Prayer: St. Joseph, worker of Nazareth, sanctify my labor.

Day 12 Heroic Witness in Work | Peter Herbeck

Deacon Charlie Echeverry cuts through the noise and gets real about what’s missing in today’s world—authentic friendship and real missionary discipleship. He doesn't sugarcoat it: the loneliness epidemic we’re facing? It’s no accident. It's a product of tech overload and a culture that's forgotten what real connection looks like. He breaks it down with raw, personal stories, giving you four clear signs you're in a true brotherhood: showing up in prayer, valuing people over transactions, and going all-in for God and those around you. With a mix of humor and relentless passion, he lights a fire under you to build genuine relationships and take action in sharing Christ's love. It’s a call to step up, transform your community, and stop playing small.About the 2024 Summit: The Heroic Leadership Summit is the annual, no-nonsense, cutting-edge event for Catholic men hungry for serious growth in their faith journey.

WOF 507: 1,700 Years of the Nicene Creed

Most men are living with a broken sense of identity, stuck trying to prove their worth through titles, achievements, or fighting off past failures. Father John Riccardo cuts through the noise with a powerful truth: your worth isn’t earned—it’s a gift. He breaks down how the devil works like a Navy SEAL, isolating and crushing you with lies about your value, and shows you how to fight back by anchoring yourself in God’s love. Using personal stories and actionable strategies like praying with Romans 8 and Galatians 4, he challenges you to ask Jesus directly, “Who do you say I am?”—and find freedom in the answer. If you’re ready to stop performing and start living as the man God created you to be, this is your moment.Fr. John Riccardo, missionary and ACTS XXIX Executive Director. He was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Detroit in 1996. In 2019, after 23 years in parish ministry, he founded Acts XXIX to proclaim the gospel in an attractive and compelling way and to equip clergy and lay leaders for the age in which God has chosen us to live. Fr. John is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the Gregorian University, and the Pope John Paul I Institute for Studies on Marriage and the Family. Learn more about ACTS XXIX at actsxxix.org

The Hidden Hero No One Talks About isn&rsquo;t about the loud, obvious kind of heroism&mdash;it&rsquo;s about the quiet &ldquo;yes&rdquo; that changes everything. What if the most powerful form of courage isn&rsquo;t leading the charge&hellip; but stepping into the fire when you&rsquo;re asked?
This story dives into the forgotten disciple who said yes to a test that could&rsquo;ve cost him his life&mdash;and why that moment reveals something most men miss about purpose, faith, and identity. From ancient stories of St. Patrick to modern-day failure, loss, and rebuilding, this conversation explores what happens when your plans collapse and you're forced to confront who you really are.
What if being rejected, overlooked, or broken is actually the beginning of becoming the man you're meant to be? And what if the real path forward isn&rsquo;t control&mdash;but surrender?
If you&rsquo;ve ever felt stuck, unsure, or like you&rsquo;re falling behind&hellip; this might be the perspective shift you didn&rsquo;t know you needed.

Listen to Bishop Barron's talk at the Facebook HQ, which has already been heard over 275,000 times. Every day, millions of people argue about religion on social media. The comboxes of religious and atheist sites are among the most visited and the most heated in the virtual space. But few people really know how to have a good religious argument. Lots of energy, lots of sharp words, and lots of strong feelings are expressed. But rarely do we come across productive, rational argument about religion. Bishop Barron paves a way forward, showing how we all, believer and nonbeliever alike, can share better religious discussions.

Freedom from porn is real&mdash;and it starts with bringing the struggle out of isolation. In this third episode with Jim O&rsquo;Day (Integrity Restored), Tom and Dean move from diagnosis to hope: how to talk to a brother who struggles, how parents protect kids from accidental exposure through gaming and devices, and why practical tools (filters + accountability) pair with spiritual weapons (Scripture, prayer, saints) for lasting healing.&nbsp;
Jim also lays out the BLASTED triggers&mdash;bored, lonely, anxious, stressed, tired, depressed&mdash;and a simple &ldquo;15-minute active distraction&rdquo; method that helps men and kids break the loop.

And have some laughs along the way. Because who couldn't use more laughter in their life?&nbsp;

Manly Catholic: Igniting Men to Light the World on Fire

One of the hardest parts about leading is making choices.  It seems that if you choose one thing, you can’t have another.  And the perspective of missing out on something can make us afraid.  How can we be sure that what we chose is really the best way?  Would life be easier if we didn’t have to make those decisions at all?  I find it fascinating that God forces us to make decisions.  It’s almost like God isn’t afraid of making us choose.  How can we as leaders make the best decisions?  What’s the secret to choosing well?

A God Who Sends His Disciples into Mission

This episode is dedicated to Jerzy Rawicki, holocaust survivor and father of our guest, Andrew Rawicki. Andrew and his wife JoAnna have created a legacy of faith and love for their six children and ten grandchildren. After recounting his journey to the Church and his courtship with his wife, Andrew shares the harrowing tale of his father’s escape from the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII and the struggles, losses, and victory that ensued. After experiencing this episode, we encourage you to watch the online documentary <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9es0TQkj8s">Behind the Wall</a> about Jerzy’s escape. Andrew is a convert to the Catholic faith, entering the church in 1991. He then followed his wife, JoAnna, into Regnum Christi in 2001 after attending Encounters with Christ and Spiritual Exercises on the Northshore of New Orleans. Andrew and JoAnna retired to Dallas, Texas, in 2019, where they now live near four of their six children and eight of their ten grandchildren.<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://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</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>

ESCAPE FROM WARSAW, THE LEGACY AND VICTORY OF JERZY RAWICKI | Andrew Rawicki | Episode #125

Jesus is stripped of his garments, Nailed to the cross, dies and taken down. Deacon Harold continues his Our Life in Christ series today talking about the Crucifixion and more from the Soulful Psalm from today's Mass.

Our Life in Christ: The Crucifixion

A celebration of faith and music: The Litany of St. Joseph in Song
On a remarkable evening in Calgary, the Catholic community gathered for a joyous and family-friendly musical event, one that resonated with men, women, and children alike. This spiritually uplifting concert was a tribute to the power of faith expressed through music, offering a rich blend of tradition, talent, and devotion.
Held in honor of St. Joseph&mdash;the Patron Saint of Canada&mdash;the event brought together voices from across the Diocese of Calgary. Selected choirs from various parishes performed sacred music that echoed the dignity and strength of this holy figure. These harmonious offerings set the tone for an unforgettable evening of reverence and unity.
At the heart of the evening was the world premiere of an original musical setting of the Litany of St. Joseph. Composed and conducted by Alberta&rsquo;s own Carlos Foggin&mdash;an award-winning maestro known for his dynamic leadership&mdash;this debut was the crescendo of the night. It marked not just a musical milestone but a spiritual one, inviting all in attendance into a deeper reflection on the virtues of St. Joseph.
The concert was more than a performance; it was a prayer in song, a communal act of praise during the 2025 Jubilee Year Celebrations. As part of the global theme Pilgrims of Hope, the evening offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness history through harmony and faith.
This recording captures the spirit of the event&mdash;its reverence, its joy, and its call to unity through music. We invite you to experience this sacred celebration and to stay connected for more spiritual opportunities in the days ahead.

Episode 267 - Jesus warns of the dangers of relying on riches in the Parable of the Rich Fool - Sunday August 3, 2025 - Lk 12:13-21

Catholic men — it’s time to wake up.The battle is real, and it’s personal. Welcome to Part 3 of the Daily Grind with Go.d If you're not actively fighting for your soul, your wife’s, and your children’s, you're losing ground. This is not a game. Satan is not playing around, and the culture of comfort is numbing us into spiritual death.This episode is a direct challenge to you. To stop sleepwalking through your vocation. To take spiritual warfare seriously. To stop blaming everyone else and start owning your mission as a man, husband, and father. I talk about the realities of hell, the lies of the world, and how most men are spiritually passive while pretending they’re doing enough. Spoiler: we're not.I walk through my own moments of cowardice; not to beat myself up, but to show that if we don’t face the hard truth, we’ll never change. I also offer a clear battle plan: Confession, the Rosary, fasting, sacramentals, and brotherhood. You need a weapon in one hand and a rosary in the other.Attend the <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/strength-in-silence-ihm-mens-retreat-tickets-1309258600719?aff=oddtdtcreator" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Silent Retreat</a> in Grand Rapids, MI!🔥 3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>“You are either advancing the Kingdom of God — or retreating in cowardice.”</li><li>“We have too many baptized men who are spiritually castrated.

Where does true strength come from? Hint: It&rsquo;s not your willpower, discipline, or grind. In Chapter Five, Strength, Father Larry reveals the real source of masculine strength&mdash;the Holy Spirit. Not brute force. Not control. But daily surrender to God&rsquo;s power living inside you. This chapter lays out the bold truth: most men are spiritually weak because they still try to do everything on their own. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

40 Years in the Making: Jeff Lukich's Catholic Reversion Story

Jeremy Robinson is the co-founder and CEO of Cardboard Spaceship, a thriving full-service video production company in Dallas. With decades of experience as a marketing executive, Jeremy's expertise spans the development and execution of successful commercial strategies, marketing initiatives, and operational plans for a diverse array of businesses, ranging from startups to Fortune 1000 companies. Throughout his entrepreneurial journey, he has founded several highly successful companies, collectively generating over $100 million in revenue.Since its inception, Cardboard Spaceship has forged strong partnerships with the world's leading ad agencies, including WPP, Omnicom, and Publicis, while developing content for esteemed brands like Mercedes, Google, IBM, Canon, Gillette, Marriott, American Airlines, and many more. Cardboard Spaceship continues to push the boundaries of video production, marrying imagination with sophistication to deliver unparalleled visual experiences that captivate audiences across the globe.As a father of two, Jeremy starts the show by reflecting on fatherhood and the impact of modeling virtue. Then the Dudes dive into Jeremy’s spiritual journey covering several religious traditions and a fun story of his own ordination as a minister prior to coming into communion with the Catholic church. In 2014, Jeremy faced a spiritual crisis in his journey that was centered around 1 Peter 3:15. He wanted to always be able to give a defense of his faith to anybody at any time and decided to take on the antithesis of his own arguments as part of this study. During the proceeding years, God placed several men in Jeremy’s life that helped to form him for the next step, including Bishop Robert Baron in the Great God Debates series. Jeremy completed RCIA and entered the church on the Easter vigil in 2022.After a spiritually powerful start to the show, the Dudes compete on Blessed are the Joke Makers using the persona of a Sour School Teach to address the prompt, “Youth ministers love talking about _____.”After the break, Jeremy shares the fascinating story of his company’s rebrand efforts to land on the new name Cardboard Spaceship. This episode’s TBD question asks the Dudes and Jeremy to reflect on a time when each person was faced with a fight or flight moment, and they chose to run away. This week’s Reverse Simpsons is a special Silly Soda Sampler challenge in which Jeff presents Jeremy, Paul, and Nick with 3 very interesting food-flavored drinks to see if they can collectively determine each one. <h2>More on Jeremy</h2><a href="https://cardboard-spaceship.com/">Cardboard Spaceship</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</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>

In a recent talk, Bishop Barron presented on the importance of not dumbing down the faith as we engage in religious education. Young people enjoy asking about and discussing the big questions, from God's existence, to how to be a good and moral person, to the problem of suffering. A disconnect takes place when we meet these intellectual questions with watered-down catechesis. Instead, we must remember the central teachings of Christianity. We must present the fullness of truth, the reality of the Incarnation, and the good news of grace.

The Juan Song

In this episode, Victor and I tackle one of the most relatable topics in faith: spiritual desolation. 

I open up about my personal struggles with feeling distant from God and how even saints like Mother Teresa faced years of spiritual dryness. Together, we explore what desolation really means and how it can impact our prayer life, mindset, and overall connection with God.

Drawing inspiration from St. Ignatius of Loyola and the teachings of Mother Teresa, we break down how to push through these tough times, offering practical advice on perseverance, prayer, and trusting God’s will even when it feels like He’s far away.

If you've ever felt stuck in your spiritual journey, this episode offers a reminder that you're not alone—and that there’s a way forward.

📚 Bible verses for reflection:

John 7:37-38 – "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’"

Psalm 40:1-2 – "I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand."

Romans 8:28 – "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

James 1:2-3 – "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness."

James 1:12 – "Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him."

Persevering In Desolation

The world is crying; this cry manifests itself in despair, anxiety and fear.
Jesus founded the Church to answer this cry, but she is also crying.
We were born for this moment in history. No one is alive right now by chance. God is calling each of us into mission with hope and unshakable confidence in Him.

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.

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?

What happens when a man finally stops running from God?In this episode of The Manly Catholic, we sit down with Father Dominic and newly ordained transitional deacon Logan McGahan to discuss something the Church desperately needs more of: real vocations, real obedience, and real surrender to Jesus Christ.This is not a polished or sanitized vocation story. It is raw. It is honest. And it will confront you.Deacon Logan shares his journey from a childhood call to the priesthood, through denial, drugs, alcohol, fear, and distraction, all the way to a decisive moment of prayer where God demanded an answer. Not a vague “maybe someday.” A yes or a no.You will hear what happens when a man stops negotiating with God and finally submits. Peace follows. Not comfort. Not ease. Peace.We also unpack what the transitional diaconate actually is, why priestly formation matters, and how the Church is intentionally forming men who love Jesus, love the sacraments, and are willing to give their lives for souls. This conversation pulls back the curtain on seminary life, discernment, spiritual fatherhood, and the cost of obedience.This episode challenges Catholic men directly. God is still calling. The problem is not a lack of vocations. The problem is men refusing to listen, refusing to sacrifice, and refusing to trust that God’s plan is better than their own.If you are a father, this episode matters. If you are raising sons, this episode matters. If you are a man who knows God has been calling you to more and you have been running, this episode is for you.God does not call perfect men. He calls willing men.Push play. Listen closely. And ask yourself the hard question: What is God asking of you that you are still refusing to give?3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode<ol><li>“When I finally said yes, immense peace rushed over me. I knew this was what God wanted.”</li><li>“God kept calling, and I kept running.”</li><li>“The people don’t want you. They want to see Jesus.”</li></ol>Key Takeaway for MenStop running. Get silent. Go before Jesus in prayer or adoration this week and ask Him plainly what He wants from your life. Then obey. Peace does not come from control. It comes from surrender.

How a Lawyer Heard God’s Voice and It Changed Everything

Can you help? Step up with Heroic Men to get this series into the hands of 25,000 men this 2025. <a href="https://heroicmen.org/give" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://heroicmen.org/give</a>
Men: What if the world is wrong about masculinity? What if being a man is NOT about power, control, and getting what you want? Father Larry's bestseller book comes to you in an epic 12-part series&mdash;only on Heroic Men. God made you a man. And God doesn't make mistakes.
This world is confused. It doesn&rsquo;t know what a real man is anymore. A real man doesn&rsquo;t live in isolation. He doesn&rsquo;t sit around making excuses for his selfishness. He doesn&rsquo;t let fear or pride control his life.
Look at the Cross. The perfect man, Jesus Christ, was nailed to it. Not for Himself. Not for His comfort. But for YOU. That is what it means to be a man&mdash;to lay down your life for others, to surrender your ego, to stop living for yourself and start living for Christ.
The question isn&rsquo;t whether or not you want to be a man. The question is: will you become the man God made you to be?
