In 2011, during a quiet moment of Eucharistic Adoration, Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers felt an undeniable call from God: leave behind his 23-year law enforcement career and speak the Gospel to the world. He didn&rsquo;t have a plan. He didn&rsquo;t even want the job. Yet that one moment set him on a journey to 34 countries, preaching to priests in the remote mountains of Papua New Guinea, connecting with isolated communities, and inspiring men to embrace true brotherhood.&nbsp;
In this conversation, Deacon Harold shares how that leap of faith transformed his mission, his health, and his understanding of manhood. You&rsquo;ll hear about 100-pound weight loss, the power of prayer, the beauty of simplicity, and why St. Joseph remains the ultimate role model for men. If you&rsquo;ve ever felt unworthy, unprepared, or unsure of your next step &mdash; this story will change the way you see your calling.

"[Jesus] was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the devil." - Luke 4:1On the day Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit anointed him. Immediately after this event the Holy Spirit led Jesus to the desert. The desert was a place of isolation, death, and defeat, but Jesus was led to the desert so that it may be forever changed into a place of grace. The Spirit led Jesus to the desert and also protected and cared for him while he was there. The desert is a part of every Christian's life but it does not have to be a place of despair or isolation. The Holy Spirit is present to life's deserts and when we experience his presence it changes our spiritual life. The desert is no longer a place to be feared but can be a profound encounter with Jesus.<a href="https://wildgoose.tv/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Wild Goose Website</a> | <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hOAVbPbyXfzLijwZdhtcqa9_9bHFiff1/view?usp=drive_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Study Guide</a>

The Spirit and the Desert | Episode 10

Jason Shanks doesn’t just talk about transformation—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’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. 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—no shortcuts, no compromises.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.

Experiencing Divine Intimacy with Jason Shanks 

For many Catholic teens, the Sacrament of Confirmation is perceived as a rite of passage as they grow up in the Church. However, as many dioceses across the United States lower the age at which children receive the Sacrament — most recently, in January, the Archdiocese of Baltimore lowered the age to 9 — this understanding is slowly beginning to shift. Deacon Harold opens this up more today and breaks open Soulful Psalm 71:18

Receiving Confirmation: What Age?

A religiously funny podcast for Christian men seeking authentic fraternity. Each week, The BeatiDudes explore life from the perspective of men seeking to follow God's will while they grow closer together in holiness and humor.

The BeatiDudes - Podcast

What happens when a Catholic dad moves his family to a
homestead and starts learning theology through pigs, fences, and parables? In this laugh-filled episode, the BeatiDudes welcome Jason Craig, author, farmer, and founder of Fraternus, for a deep and humorous exploration of farm life, fatherhood, and the faith lessons that emerge from both.
From cow returns and donkey escapes to the spiritual logic of agrarian living, Jason reflects on how working the land with his children has transformed his family and made space to encounter God in the rhythms of nature. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein also share outrageous stories about animal chaos, DIY fence failures, and Jason’s failed attempt to launch a yogurt empire.
And yes, they do try to reenact biblical parables with mixed results.
Highlights:
·        Why suburban life stifles spiritual formation
·        How building a fence beats reading a progress report
·        The theology of milk cows, pigs, and daily labor
·        Parable reenactments gone hilariously wrong
·        The hidden beauty of a farm-based family economy

Gospel of Work

Braden Sorbo just became Catholic&mdash;and it's not just his story, it's a sign of something bigger. The son of actor Kevin Sorbo, Braden grew up on Hollywood sets, but it was a deep dive into truth that brought him to the Catholic Church.&nbsp;
In this episode of Heroic Hotline, he opens up about what led to his conversion: a challenge from a friend, a serious look at the early Church, and the hunger for something real. He talks about masculinity, dating, loneliness, and why so many young men are tired of the culture&rsquo;s confusion. Braden&rsquo;s message is clear: the world needs faith, order, and strong men more than ever. Whether you're curious about Catholicism or just tired of feeling lost&mdash;this episode is a wake-up call.

How a Simple Sign Led a Catholic Christian Back to Church

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>

Emotions are your hidden superpower &mdash; but only if you know how to use them. In this eye-opening video, Marek Rudak, an executive coach with over 3,000 hours of experience at places like NASA and Fidelity, reveals how emotional intelligence (EQ) can transform your life.
Why do some leaders inspire results even without perfect technical skills? Why do some parents connect deeply with their kids, while others struggle? And why do smart people still make emotional mistakes that sabotage them? It all comes down to EQ &mdash; the ability to turn emotions from a liability into your greatest advantage.
You&rsquo;ll hear real stories, from overcoming toxic upbringings and divorce to becoming a better father, leader, and partner. Plus, discover the science behind how your brain processes emotion &mdash; and how mastering EQ can help you succeed at work, at home, and yes&hellip; even boost your income.

It's a harsh truth: 31% of men at Sunday Mass lack a single close friend. Loneliness isn't just isolating; it's a health disaster, more lethal than alcoholism or smoking. Heroic Men is a movement on a mission to change this. We work to reconnect men with Christ, inspire authentic brotherhood, and bond around relentless spiritual growth. https://heroicmen.org&nbsp;This isn't just about friendships—it's about forging a community where men challenge, sharpen, and hold each other accountable. It's about becoming the best version of themselves and reshaping culture. This is a rallying cry for Catholic men to step up, embrace brotherhood, and transform lives, family, and culture together.

My Three Cringiest Post Conversion Moments

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.

Seeking the Bread of Life

The uncommon courage of ordinary men who lived with fire in their souls.
In an age when manhood is under siege, these four saints stand like watchmen on the wall&mdash;men forged in the furnace of history, defiant in the face of tyranny, and unwavering in their devotion to truth. 4 Modern Saints for Men is a gripping, soul-stirring mini-series that reveals how St. Thomas More, St. John Henry Newman, Blessed Jerzy Popiełuszko, and Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky each became heroic witnesses to Christ in a hostile world.
🔹 Thomas More, the lion-hearted lawyer who chose a martyr&rsquo;s crown over political compromise. 🔹 John Henry Newman, the intellectual warrior who traded worldly accolades for the radical fidelity of faith. 🔹 Jerzy Popiełuszko, the priest who challenged communism with a microphone and a rosary. 🔹 Vasyl Velychkovsky, the bishop who risked everything to shepherd an underground Church through Soviet terror.
Each episode reveals how these men embraced sacrifice, led with conviction, and became beacons of courage for today&rsquo;s Catholic man. This isn&rsquo;t just history&mdash;it&rsquo;s a manual for spiritual battle. Because in every generation, God raises up men who refuse to bow.

4 Modern Saints for Men

What if the deepest truth about you isn&rsquo;t your failures&mdash;but that you are loved? In &ldquo;Beloved Son,&rdquo; the most essential chapter of the book, we get a powerful reminder of our true identity&mdash;not as sinners, but as sons. This isn&rsquo;t just theory. It&rsquo;s personal, emotional, and deeply spiritual. Centered around Mark 1:11, where the Father says to Jesus, &ldquo;You are my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,&rdquo; this talk calls every man to hear those words for himself&mdash;and to believe them. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

We are all aware of the ideological movements involving race in our society today, the Black Lives Matter Movement, Critical Race Theory, and White Privilege to name a few. So how are we as Catholic men supposed to navigate this very delicate and often heated topic? How do we avoid taking a passive, avoidance, or even subservient role on this issue and instead bring love and Christ into the conversation?🔴 All Things Dcn.

Racism and The Catholic Church Today (w/Dcn. Harold Burke-Sivers)

This week Father Stephen Gadberry (as seen on American-Ninja Warrior TV), joined John in the studio for an incredibly raw & moving interview. 

Father Stephen shares about: 
- Becoming the Man of the house at a young age
- His call to the priesthood while serving in the Military 
- The intentional seeking of discomfort through ordinary things 
- Trying to be a Saint… “The Shepherd cannot run at the first sight of Danger”

N/A
About the Topic:
Eighth Rule
Let one who is in desolation work to be in patience, which is contrary to the vexations which come to him, and let him think that he will soon be consoled, diligently using the means against such desolation, as is said in the sixth rule.
Ninth Rule
There are three principal causes for which we find ourselves desolate. The first is because we are tepid, slothful, or negligent in our spiritual exercises, and so through our faults spiritual consolation withdraws from us. The second, to try us and see how much we are and how much we extend ourselves in his service and praise without so much payment of consolations and increased graces. The third, to give us true recognition and understanding so that we may interiorly feel that it is not ours to attain or maintain increased devotion, intense love, tears or any other spiritual consolation, but that all is the gift and grace of God our Lord, and so that we may not build a nest in something belonging to another, raising our mind in some pride or vainglory, attributing to ourselves the devotion or the other parts of the spiritual consolation.
Tenth Rule
Let the one who is in consolation think how he will conduct himself in the desolation which will come after, taking new strength for that time.
Eleventh Rule
Let one who is consoled seek to humble himself and lower himself as much as he can, thinking of how little he is capable in the time of desolation without such grace or consolation. On the contrary, let one who is in desolation think that he can do much with God’s sufficient grace to resist all his enemies, taking strength in his Creator and Lord.
Twelfth Rule
The enemy acts like a woman in being weak when faced with strength and strong when faced with weakness. For, as it is proper to a woman, when she is fighting with some man, to lose heart and to flee when the man confronts her firmly, and, on the contrary, if the man begins to flee, losing heart, the anger, vengeance and ferocity of the woman grow greatly and know no bounds, in the same way, it is proper to the enemy to weaken and lose heart, fleeing and ceasing his temptations when the person who is exercising himself in spiritual things confronts the temptations of the enemy firmly, doing what is diametrically opposed to them; and, on the contrary, if the person who is exercising himself begins to be afraid and lose heart in suffering the temptations, there is no beast so fierce on the face of the earth as the enemy of human nature in following out his damnable intention with such growing malice.
Thirteenth Rule
Likewise he conducts himself as a false lover in wishing to remain secret and not be revealed. For a dissolute man who, speaking with evil intention, makes dishonorable advances to a daughter of a good father or to a wife of a good husband, wishes his words and persuasions to be secret, and the contrary displeases him very much, when the daughter reveals to her father or the wife to her husband his false words and depraved intention, because he easily perceives that he will not be able to succeed with the undertaking begun. In the same way, when the enemy of human nature brings his wiles and persuasions to the just soul, he wishes and desires that they be received and kept in secret; but when one reveals them to one’s good confessor or to another spiritual person, who knows his deceits and malicious designs, it weighs on him very much, because he perceives that he will not be able to succeed with the malicious undertaking he has begun, since his manifest deceits have been revealed.
Fourteenth Rule
Likewise he conducts himself as a leader, intent upon conquering and robbing what he desires. For, just as a captain and leader of an army in the field, pitching his camp and exploring the fortifications and defenses of a stronghold, attacks it at the weakest point, in the same way the enemy of human nature, roving about, looks in turn at all our theological, cardinal, and moral virtues; and where he finds us weakest and most in need for our eternal salvation, there he attacks us and attempts to take us.

Discernment of Spirits – Part 2

What kind of man are you when no one is watching?
Do you fall to the temptations of sloth, gluttony, or lust? As Christians, we are called to be more like Christ—but sometimes we forget what that actually looks like.

A sure way to evaluate whether we are being Christlike is to ask: Am I the same man when I’m alone as I am at church, with my family, or at my men’s group?

Join us as we prepare for Holy Week, and challenge yourself to become consistent, just as Jesus was consistent. Follow His example: set your face like flint, feel the weight of the wood on your shoulder, and heave up your cross.

Episode 255 - Jesus reveals His Almighty Father has given Him the supernatural power to grant eternal life to His disciples - Sunday May 11, 2025 - Jn 10:27-30

In a world where men feel alone and friendless, it’s time to kick isolation to the curb. We men are starved for action and identity. But the culture can’t give it to us. It’s time to cut through the noise. To get back to basics.

Deep down, do you feel pointless and worthless? Like the best you can do for the world is sacrifice your life?

Time out. We’re worth infinitely more than that.

In Jesus, we are sons of God our Father. Every man is hounded by God's relentless love. You’re a man. You matter.

Join us live online for a free, 1-hour event hosted by Fr. Larry Richards, and HeroicMen. Let’s be clear: this isn't a feel-good happy hour. This is a kick-in-the-pants to sit up, step up, and claim your God-given identity.

We're going live on Thursday, November 30, at 8:30 pm to get clear on what Sons of the Father means.
This needs to get real, real fast. We’re not kidding when we say lives are at stake: self-harm rates and loneliness are an epidemic among men. It needs to stop. The Heroic Identity: Sons of the Father livestream is the line: This is where we stand. Here is where it ends.

Flip the script, change the game, and get off the sidelines of your own life. It's not about words; it's about action. Inspired by the Catholic faith, this is your call to return to identity as a son of God.

Sons of the Father with Fr Larry Richards

Our society is a mess, and when you get down to the quick of it, you find the crisis of men not living their lives as good fathers. It's a sad truth that many in our society struggle to comprehend what it truly means to be a good father, let alone how to live as one. Today we discuss the one thing that makes a great father. This one thing is crucial for all men to know, not just fathers, because in understanding this you can start living your life in reality. We go into practical ways that this truth plays out in the relationship between fathers and their children and the consequences when it is ignored.In addition, we also answer a listener's question about dating a non-Catholic and what advice we have for him.🔴 🔴 Watch the extended addition, all 1h 40 mins of episode 153 on Catholic Gentleman Plus where we go into double the amount of ways this truth plays out in our lives: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com✅ We love to answer questions on the show.

This One Thing Makes a Great Father

Chapter 10: Change the World is the hard-hitting finale that calls every man to action: Are you bringing anyone to Jesus? Father Larry brings his signature no-nonsense fire as he reframes what it means to be fruitful&mdash;not just in fathering children, but in multiplying eternal life through evangelization. The stakes are eternal, and the questions are piercing. How many people know Jesus because of you? How many have you led astray by your example? <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

<h1>Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted &#8211; Bishop of Phoenix</h1>
<h2>Complete My Joy</h2>
While at the <a href="http://www.cmfp.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Catholic Men&#8217;s Fellowship of Phoenix Conference</a> this past weekend, we were able to sit down with Bishop Olmsted to talk about his new <a href="http://www.ncregister.com/images/documents/DEC_12_ENGLISH_FINAL_CompletemyJoy.pdf?_ga=2.72147920.236494248.1549395572-1852606167.1549395572" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apostolic Exhortation</a>, &#8220;Complete My Joy&#8221;.
In 2015, Bishop Olmsted wrote <a href="https://intothebreach.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/INTO-THE-BREACH-ROMAN-CATHOLIC-DIOCESE-OF-PHOENIX.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Into the Breach&#8221;</a> an Apostolic Exhortation to Catholic men and masculinity that has been a popular read all across the globe and has now been officially translated in 11 different languages.
The title &#8220;Complete My Joy&#8221; is taken from Philippians [1:27]-2:2:
<blockquote>“Live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or am absent and hear about you, I will know that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving side by side with one mind for the faith of the gospel, and are in no way intimidated by your opponents. For them this is evidence of their destruction, but of your salvation. And this is God’s doing. For he has graciously granted you the privilege not only of believing in Christ, but of suffering for him as well— since you are having the same struggle that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.  If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.”  (Philippians [1:27]-2:2, RSV)</blockquote>
The document urges fathers and mothers to commit themselves and their families to a deeper relationship with Christ. &#8220;Fathers and mothers have the ability and responsibility to lead their families to holiness,&#8221; said Bishop Olmsted. &#8220;When I consider the blessings that God has bestowed on me in my life, second only to my Baptism into Christ&#8217;s family is the blessing of being raised in a faithful and united Catholic family. My parents, Patrick and Helen, committed themselves to God in the vocation to Holy Matrimony, and this provided stability for me to grow as their son and as a son of God.&#8221;
Bishop Olmsted released the apostolic exhortation on the Feast of the Holy Family, December 30th, 2018.
We want to thank Bishop Olmsted and the Diocese of Phoenix for the opportunity to discuss, &#8220;Complete My Joy,&#8221; and hope everyone will take the opportunity to read this gift.

Episode 100: Grace amidst abortion, crystals, & psychedelics | The story of a merciful, loving God

This time of year is filled with thoughts of change and renewal. Men take upon themselves resolutions to better their lives, however, the majority of these resolutions fail. Why do they fail and what purpose of resolutions is lacking that keeps men from moving forward in the active life? We turn to a great priest and expert in the Desert Fathers, Fr. David Abernethy, to guide us in what dispositions of the mind, intent of the will, and practices we must foster on a regular basis to find frequent growth from sin to holiness.🔴 SPONSOR - Exodus 90 - 90 Days before Easter Starts on January 9th - Sign-up today - <a href="https://exodus90.com/catholicgentleman">Click Here</a>Previous Episode with Fr.

How to Avoid Failure at Your New Year’s Resolutions

<div class="libsyn-item-body">
<h2>100 years ago, if you were talking about teenagers, no one would know what you were talking about. What are the ramifications of creating this new category in society and in the Church?</h2>
When teenagers were revoked from the adults category, there were isolated into their own classification. Not grouped with adults meant they were able in many ways to continue the way of life they knew for their whole existence but with more bodily maturity too.
Here are a few points of discussion:
<ul>
 	<li>2 age categories for all of time: Adults and Children</li>
 	<li>Culture of the 1960's and 1970's</li>
 	<li>Youth culture over adult culture</li>
 	<li>God and the faith are "ever ancient and ever new" not forever young</li>
 	<li>What are the effects of this in youth ministry?</li>
 	<li>Maturity is restrained and unfree, bound to God and the crosses He sends and the people He binds us to. True freedom is not youthful unattachment, but the loss of the types of freedoms the world pursues</li>
</ul>

Teenagers aren't real

Every one of us has strings that hold us down.
&nbsp;
&hellip;
&nbsp;
Hosts Pat Lencioni and Chris Stefanick give a daily reflection for Christians in the workplace.

Identify Your Strings

"The first feature film ever on the story of St. Joseph, who was a carpenter, the husband of Mary, and the foster father of Jesus Christ. Scripture tells us that St. Joseph was a ""just man"" and that God gave him the most daunting task ever asked of a man–to be the husband of the woman who would give birth to the Messiah and the father and protector of this Holy Family. He would be the man closest to Christ.

Starring Tobias Moretti in a manly, appealing performance, we are shown the human, noble, and deeply spiritual aspects of Joseph the carpenter, son of David, servant of God, and loving husband of Mary. He is presented as a man of faith who must grapple greatly with the profound mysteries of the miraculous conception, the Virgin Birth, the Incarnation of the Son of God, and the incredible challenges of protecting and raising Jesus amidst the threats on his life from the moment of his birth and beyond.

As Joseph is informed by God's messengers about trusting and following his plan for Christ, the dangerous flight into Egypt to save his child, and finally returning to Nazareth to raise Jesus, this lovely film presents beautiful vignettes of these and other powerful scenes in the life of the young Christ and the Holy Family that are authentic and inspiring. Also stars Stefania Rivi, Franco Interlenghi, and Andrea Prodan."

How Feminism Has Destroyed Women | Dr. Carrie Gress | R4H

Bishop Joseph Coffey didn’t just serve—he dedicated over 20 years to guiding those on the front lines, from Philadelphia to the military Archdiocese. As a seasoned priest and military chaplain, he knows the stakes are high, especially for our military personnel and veterans.His message? Community and faith are non-negotiables. Bishop Coffey challenges you to dive deep into the retreat, leave the noise behind, and fully embrace the spiritual journey. His prayer is simple but powerful: gratitude for life and the privilege to serve. And he’s not just talking—he’s calling men to step up, lead their families, and set their communities on fire with passion for faith and leadership.This is more than a retreat; it’s a call to action. Are you ready?

John Heinen, Devin Schadt, and Sam Guzman meet to discuss the confusing and often controversial topic of working on Sundays. We are called to abstain from work on Sundays, and indeed it can be sinful to engage in unnecessary labor. Yet we face the challenge of discerning what constitutes work, how we as men living for God can fulfill this precept, and what we should avoid to ensure our Sundays remain holy. We explore what the Church actually teaches, why leisure is essential for our lives, and what can prevent the Holy Day from being truly effective.We also get to answer a question from a listener about helping his friend after his wife had an affair.

Can I Mow on Sundays?

Dr. John Bishop sits down with Taylor Fernholz, OP. Should dads bless their kids? If so, how? Fernholz is a theology professor and trained theologian, currently writing a doctoral dissertation on the subject of blessings. Obviously a dad&apos;s blessing is different than the blessing of a parish priest, but how so? Fernholz provides sound theology and valuable practical advice on a topic that is important for any father. Want to view this article in written form?

Ep 7: Fathers, Bless Your Children

Have you ever found yourself in a situation in life where you just don’t know where to go next? I’ve found myself in that situation again and again since I decided to follow the Lord, and the Bible shows us that it’s a constant experience for those who choose to do God’s will.

That’s why Victor and I decided to talk about how to deal with uncertainty, and the reasons God allows it. In this episode, we'll talk about:

 - What Scripture teaches us about dealing with uncertainty.
 - How to keep from letting uncertainty rule our lives through fear.
 - What to do when it feels like you’re walking in the dark.
 - Why you shouldn’t grasp for control when you feel lost.
 - And more!

The Trouble With Uncertainty

"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room", stated Pascal, and this is the issue we tackle today. Prayer is a challenge for our modern minds, and the idea of growing in prayer, allowing prayer to transform us, as well as be our life support in every struggle, suffering, and tough decision in life is even more difficult. Today we give a road map for prayer, one that can allow you to commit to, expand from, and stick with at all times.🔴 🔴 In the extended edition of the episode we answer a listener's question on how to truly live sacrificial love as a friend.

Why Your Prayer is Not Working

When I first began these leadership lessons on De Regno by Aquinas, I never anticipated finding some of the greatest jewels about leadership in the chapter on tyranny.  But in fact, that is just what happened.  Sometimes you see most clearly what a thing is by looking at it’s opposite.  And Aquinas shows us most clearly what good Christian leadership looks like by looking at it’s opposition - tyranny.

DGT Episode 94 - The Inversion Of Tyranny - Leadership Lessons From Aquinas Part 5

See what love (1 John 3:1) 

"The one who holds the world in being was lying in a manger...The heavens cannot contain him, but a woman carried him in her bosom...May he make us into children of God, since for our sake he was willing to be made a child of man" (St. Augustine). This is our God. This is the God who reveals His power through humility, love, and mercy. Join John and Victor as they share the hope and freedom Jesus' birth brings into our lives. "See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. Yet so we are" (1 John 3:1). 

In this week's episode: 
-Jesus brings freedom into our lives
-We have a Savior, and you are worth saving
-The desire of God for you

There's No Distance He Won't Go

One of the defining features of the Christian moral and spiritual life is the supernatural virtue of hope. What is hope? What makes hope more than a mere superstition? How does hope help us live both individually and in community? Can hope have negative consequences, like motivating people to remain passive in the face of injustice? And what, if any, evangelical significance does hope have? Bishop Barron gives us five reasons why we should be hopeful in the new year. A listener asks how he can find the strength to pray again. 00:00 | Intro 01:14 | Bishop Barron’s 2024 highlights 02:47 | The Christian concept of hope 04:15 | Hope’s relationship to reason 05:12 | Hope’s practical value in life 06:24 | Distinguishing hope from faith 08:27 | Distinguishing hope from optimism 10:21 | Responding to critiques of hope 15:37 | Reason 1: Bible sales increase while “nones” appear to have peaked 19:53 | Reason 2: Woke ideology is losing its grip on the culture 23:27 | Reason 3: Protestants and Catholics have increased cooperation 25:36 | Reason 4: The public response to the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral 30:01 | Reason 5: The Church continues to grow 31:27 | Listener question 33:53 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Article on Bible sales: <a href= "https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT" aria-label= "https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link= "">https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds</a></li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" aria-label= "Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

WOF 469: 5 Reasons to Be Hopeful in the New Year

Celebrated Catholic sculptor Timothy Schmalz is back on The BeatiDudes to discuss his sculptural interpretation of Dante’s Divine Comedy. To honor and celebrate the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri’s death, Timothy Schmalz has created sculptures of each of the 100 cantos of the Divine Comedy.This collection of sculptures narrating the Divine Comedy acts as a visual introduction to what is considered one of the greatest poems in Western society.For over thirty years, Catholic sculptor Tim Schmalz has been visually translating sacred scripture and creating spiritual artwork through his bronze sculptures. Tim believes that sculpture is just the skin that covers an idea, a belief, and a truth. As an artist, he is dedicated to making this skin as thin and transparent as possible, so the art does not get in the way of what is being expressed. After being frustrated by the games within the art community, Tim turned his focus to scripture, saints, and the life of Jesus. Over the past few decades, Tim has created some powerful representations of Christianity and several landmark, complex public bronze sculptures. Cast editions of his life-size bronze sculptures have been installed in major cities in front of some of the most historically significant Christian sites in the world, including Capernaum, the Vatican, and Florence.<a href="https://timothypaulschmalz.com/">Learn more about Tim and his work</a><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.corexpeditions.org/upcoming-trips">COR Expeditions - Upcoming Trips</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</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> <a href="https://www.davemooremusic.com/">Dave Moore Music</a>

Throughout Church history, these miracles have been complemented by those connected with apparitions of Jesus’ Mother, the intercession of saints, and Eucharistic miracles.In this episode you will learn that ...■ Throughout the history of the Church, many miracles have been associated with apparitions of Mary, the intercession of the saints, and the Holy Eucharist.■ Contrary to popular belief, miracles are not a total suspension of the physical laws of science; though inexplicable, they are supernatural causes or events introduced by God into the natural patterns of nature.■ While there are many accounts of Our Lady appearing to the faithful in the history of the Church, the Church applies four specific criteria before approving Marian apparitions as valid.■ In the 20th and 21st centuries there have been many well-documented and scientifically confirmed miracles that occurred in connection with the canonization of well-known saints, and a number that manifest the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist.■ In a world largely governed by a materialistic view of reality, miracles validate the truth of God’s presence, goodness, and love for us.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr. Spitzer is a Catholic priest in the Jesuit order and is currently the President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith (<a href="https://magiscenter.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">magiscenter.com</a>).

Episode 10: Jesus is with Us: Mary, the Saints, and the Eucharist

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, Sam and John are joined by a 3rd Generation Master Luthier, Jarrett Schaub. As we work to build up a culture of holy men, we are blessed to have Jarrett share with us how to build guitars and how God has affected his life as a guitar maker, husband, and father. Join us as we discuss the joys of music, family, faith, and leisure.In this episode we discuss;<ul>
<li>How to get started making guitars</li>
<li>How man needs leisure to become holy</li>
<li>The greatest moment in building guitars</li>
<li>Jarrett's incredible conversion to Catholicism story</li>
<li>And More</li>
</ul> Jarrett Schaub is a devout Catholic convert, husband, father, and third generation luthier hand-crafting custom acoustic guitars in Evergreen, Colorado.Jarrett grew up in a large family of musicians, a heritage which began with his grandfather Reid Schaub—a talented guitarist who played for Buddy Holly during his college years in Lubbock, Texas. Reid later joined The Leon River Stump Jumpers before creating his own family band, which included his four children. The youngest, Jarrett’s father Roland, went on to lead a touring band in the 90's, and he's still playing venues in Texas today. Jarrett spent his childhood surrounded by guitars and live music, and by age 14 had mastered the guitar by playing along to his father’s cassette tape recordings. He eventually found himself on stage as well, touring as Jarrett Schaub and the Vagabonds for several years throughout Texas. He stepped away in 2012 to focus on his growing family.Jarrett built his first guitar in 2002 in his grandfather's guitar shop. Reid Schaub had been building acoustic guitars and mandolins since 1968, and he was eager to pass his wisdom on to future generations. For many years the Schaub family held weekly sessions in Reid’s guitar shop, with three generations of Schaub men learning and working together under one roof.Website - https://www.schaubhaus.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/schaubhaus Learn more about your ad choices.

A Tragic Loss. A Miraculous Sign. A Return to Catholicism.

Legendary radio broadcaster Kevin Matthews takes us on a journey that’s anything but ordinary. From the heights of a high-profile career to a profound spiritual awakening, everything shifted when he stumbled upon a broken statue of the Virgin Mary in a dumpster. That moment marked the beginning of a new chapter. Now, battling multiple sclerosis and the loss of his job, Kevin shares how he rediscovered God and found unshakable hope through raw, personal encounters with Mary. His storytelling isn’t just captivating; it’s a masterclass in embracing vulnerability, confession, and the power of community. Kevin’s story challenges us to face our own brokenness and realize that, no matter what, we are deeply loved by God. This is more than a comeback story—it’s a call to embrace who we truly are.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.

Eucharistic Miracles with Angelo Libutti

Happy Easter!

During this time of joy and celebration, it’s all too easy to forget the intense period of reflection and prayer we just experienced during Lent. We might be tempted to return to the old habits or vices that we spent the last 40 days working to overcome.
Don’t let your life return to “normal.” Through daily prayer, fasting, and small everyday acts of self-giving love, continue allowing yourself to be transformed by the Holy Spirit until the day you are called home.

Youth Ministry EXPERT Shares How To Keep Your Kids Catholic

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.

About our drink:
<a href="https://whistlepigwhiskey.com/whiskeys/12-year/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Whistlepig 12 year</a>
Rye inspired by Old World barrel-aging traditions.
This 86-proof 12-year-old Rye Whiskey is a marriage of whiskeys aged in New American Oak and ingeniously finished in Port (7%,) French Sauternes (30%,) and Madeira casks (63%). We’ve taken the elements that are most quintessential in an American rye – boldness and character – and fused them with the elegance and grace of an 18-year-old Scotch.
About our gear:
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Woodlore-Adjustable-Mens-Shoe-Tree/dp/B002VWKREO" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shoe Tree</a>
A shoe tree holds a shoe in its proper shape so it dries out correctly, and keeps the leather from cracking by wicking away moisture. The absorbent wood also helps dry out the lining of shoes so that they don't rot from the inside out.

Catholics have a moral obligation to promote the common good through the exercise of their voting privileges (CCC 2240). It is not only civil authorities who have responsibility for a country. "Service of the common good require citizens to fulfill their roles in the life of the political community." (CCC 2239). This means citizens should participate in the political process at the ballot box.</div>

Voting with a well-formed conscience

Spokane Bishop Thomas Daly is urging Catholic voters in Washington state to oppose a proposed law that would order priests to violate the seal of confession in cases where child abuse is revealed during the sacrament. 
The bill, proposed in both houses of the state Legislature, would amend state law to require clergy to report instances of child abuse with no exemption for instances where the abuse is learned during the sacrament of penance. 
Deacon Harold shows us the Catholic response and Also looking into Soulful Psalm 31:10-14

The Seal of Confession

What if the real reason men are lonely isn&rsquo;t lack of time&mdash;but lack of brotherhood?
In this episode of Heroic Hotline, Christopher Carter reveals how he went from having no online presence to leading a worldwide community of 11,000 Catholic men across 100 countries. Discover the small, consistent actions that helped him turn isolated strangers into trusted brothers&mdash;phone calls, daily texts, and one powerful question: &ldquo;What&rsquo;s your struggle this week that you&rsquo;re grateful for?&rdquo;
Whether you&rsquo;re trying to start a group, lead with purpose, or just stay faithful in the chaos of fatherhood and marriage, this is your roadmap. Learn how vulnerability breeds strength, why virtual friendships can go deeper than expected, and what it takes to keep men from disappearing when they fail.

From 0 to 11,000: How He Built a Global Men’s Group | Heroic Hotline | Christopher Carter

Jeff Joaquin’s journey is packed with hard-hitting truths and raw moments of transformation. From turning personal pain into purpose, to redefining weakness as true strength, he dives into the life-altering grip of addiction that started at age 9, nearly destroyed him by 21, and revealed his darkest battles with pornography and drugs. Smartphones become “original sin” devices, and he unveils three game-changing steps to fight addiction for good. Through painful revelations—including a haunting regret and a heart attack that pushed him to find faith—Jeff challenges men to take up the ultimate responsibility of fatherhood, confront the emptiness of workaholism, and reject the world’s lies. Finding forgiveness in confession, he calls men to live with authenticity, stand as “soldiers for Christ,” and embrace life’s highest calling. Inspired by the story of a martyr, he sends one final, powerful message: live for truth, no matter the cost.This talk was presented live at the morning convocation in October 2024. Jeff prays that his testimony shared with these young men helps them avoid the mistakes he made when he was growing up. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/jeffmjoaquin">Follow Jeff online </a>
