Today we’re talking about Pentecost Sunday and how it reminds us that our true purpose – like the Apostles’ – is to share the good news. Our responsibility as Christians is to spread the Word of God and save souls.

On this podcast we’ll learn that:

 - Those who identify as Christians should examine how they express those values each day
 - Evangelization differs from outreach or service because it requires that we proclaim the Word of God, not just practice good deeds
 - We shouldn’t worry about what we will lose by devoting our lives to God, but rather trust in all that we will gain.

Our Responsibility

The BeatiDudes welcome John Cannon, Founder of SENT Ventures.After early career success, John joined the Carmelite order and lived a contemplative, cloistered life of prayer and study. While researching church renewal movements, John realized that one of the most powerful tools for renewal is entrepreneurship. This led John to discern out of the monastery and into the business world to build a community that supports Catholic entrepreneurs and builders.Learn more about the fruits that come from building community through authentic friendships while also going deeper in your personal prayer journey.

A Catholic who lives Charitably in Truth

Join John and Victor as the Lenten journey continues on the 7 Deadly Sins. This week's focus is Gluttony, or overindulgence of food and drink. How we live and the way we treat ourselves matters. "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). 

Scripture passages to pray with:
- Romans 12:1 
- Romans 13:14
- 1 Corinthians 10:31
- John 4:13-15
- Matthew 6:25 

In this episode:
- "A Glutton does not eat to live, he lives to eat." ~Archbishop Fulton Sheen
- Addressing the places in which we live in excess
- Learning to practice temperance (the virtue of moderation)

Lenten Series - Your Whole Heart Pt 5- Gluttony

On today’s podcast, I'm joined by Deacon Jeff Drzycimski to talk about those times when we feel bogged down in our daily routines. It’s like we’re checking off the to-do list and wondering where God is in all of this.

In this episode, we learn that:
 - When we get bogged down in a bunch of tasks, we’re depriving ourselves of joy.
 - Looking at each daily task to determine how we are using it to glorify God restores that joy.
 - If a task does not bring glory to God, we should ask ourselves why we’re doing it.

Grace

To learn more about coaching, visit here: https://www.seekingexcellence.us/ Most Christians misunderstand the true purpose of wealth—and that misunderstanding can trap you in a life of financial struggle or misguided arrogance. Nathan Crankfield exposes how the modern obsession with poverty or prosperity isn&#39;t the Christian virtue it’s often claimed to be, but instead a balance rooted in love, stewardship, and purpose. In this compelling episode, Nathan rewires your perspective on money by breaking down the myth that humility or ambition alone define a virtuous life. You&#39;ll discover why true Christian wealth isn’t about accumulation or self-denial but about purposefully aligning your finances with your calling. We dive into the “virtue of the mean”, a concept from Aristotle through Aquinas, explaining how virtue with money exists in a healthy middle ground: provision as an act of love, not a pursuit of status or avoidance of responsibility. Nathan shares real-life examples about the risks of both making money an idol or treating it as inherently suspect, and how spiritualized poverty can undermine your family’s well-being.

Poverty Is Not A Christian Virtue

In this week’s episode, Nathaniel Binversie joins Sean in the pub as they discuss living life as a missionary in our modern world. Nathaniel shares his story of life growing up with a father who prayed for his family pointing towards Jesus, his journey through non-denominational to spending time in the seminary to his missionary work with Exodus 90.

A Dram with Wil Konybai

For many leadership is an act whereby we influence people to do what we need them to do.  This is a very true idea, however, Catholic leadership goes much deeper.  For Christians, we try to lead other not only to do what we need them to do but to be whom God has made them to be.  This lasting legacy needs more than skill of command and organization, it needs the ability to inspire in a way that leaves a legacy.

DGT Episode 116 - Leadership From Aquinas - A Course For Catholic Leaders Part 5

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.)

A Suffering God | The Creed (Pt. 8) | DMIn this episode continuing our series on The Creed, David and Mario set up the coming discussions on the articles pertaining to the passion and death of Jesus. They ponder the questions: Why focus so much on the passion of Jesus if the Gospels and The Creed treat it in a very cursory way? Why does Pontius Pilate's name make its way into The Creed? How is it that God - Who is perfect, perfectly happy in Himself, and cannot change - could ever "suffer"? They also look at an early heresy that attempted to split Jesus' humanity from His divinity, the Church's answer to which offers insight into how Mary can be called the Mother of God and how God can be said to suffer.Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David Hajduk- Sponsors -St. Joseph Partners was founded 12 years ago to help American families protect their wealth and diversify their investments in what history shows has been the most resilient asset – physical gold and silver.

We all know that Christianity is a religion of peace.  We long for that peace and we long to bring that peace to the world.  What then could Our Lords have meant when he spoke in Matthew 10:25 of His mission to bring a sword?  What does that mean for you and I in our own Christian lives?  How is it that our leadership brings both peace and a sword?

DGT Episode 69 - Christ's Mission, Our Mission Part 3 - But A Sword

I felt it was important to record this video. This is airing in the middle of Pride Month, and Catholics need to have the courage to stand up for Church teaching and state that they cannot support Pride Month. Now to be clear: the Church does NOT say we should hate people who experience same-sex attraction. It DOES say that we ought to treat them with respect and compassion. But that does NOT mean we can say their actions themselves are properly ordered. So first we're going to take a quick look at what the Catechism actually says about this topic. Then I'll offer you some hope by showing you messages from bishops who are publicly taking a stance for the Catholic Church's teaching on sexuality. <a href="https://pintswithaquinas.com/understanding-thomas/">Download my FREE ebook, "You Can Understand Aquinas," now!</a> SPONSORS Hallow: http://hallow.app/mattfradd STRIVE: https://www.strive21.com/ Homeschool Connections: https://homeschoolconnections.com/matt/ GIVING Patreon or Directly: <a href="https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/">https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/ </a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

Series: What Makes a Good Life? Debunking the Myths of Happiness with Fr Robert Spitzer

Jesus warns of the necessity of forgiveness and the horrible consequences for those who refuse to forgive in the Parable of the Unmerciful Slave. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of Piety from the Holy Spirit so he can have great sorrow for his sins and be forgiven and by seeking the Fruit of Love so he can be helped by the Holy Spirit to forgive others.

Episode 92 - Jesus warns of the necessity of forgiveness and the horrible consequences for those who refuse to forgive in the Parable of the Unmerciful Slave - Sunday September 17, 2023 - Mt 18:21-35

People of faith in leadership positions find themselves in a quandary: “How do I live my faith when my job is vowed to be in a secular situation?”  After living that way for many years sometimes we can feel that faith does not actually have a place in the workplace after all.  The roots of Catholic leadership go very deep.  St. Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologica lays a surprisingly relevant foundation for Catholic principles.  I can’t wait to unpack them with you in this series of six talks delivered for the St. John Leadership Network.

Joe Heschmeyer DESTROYS Mormonism | Last Call Ep. 7

The Office of Marriage and Family Life of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, in partnership with Willwoods Faith and Marriage and the Point Man Podcast, invites men from all around southeast Louisiana to the 2026 Archdiocese of New Orleans Men’s Conference on Saturday, February 28, 2026 at Saint Dominic Church, New Orleans. Building on last year’s theme of trust, this year’s conference - &quot;Let It Be Done&quot; - will focus on the centrality of Mary’s trust in God and her responsibility for the life of the Church and the World. As we pray in the Memorare: “Never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.” The same can be said of every Catholic man who fully embraces his vocation and lives his faith in the particular circumstances of his life. This year’s Conference will come at a critical time for the life of our Church in New Orleans. It will be important for us to gather, to be encouraged in the faith, and to look forward in hope to what God is preparing for us. Visit <a href='https://nolacatholicmen.com/'>NOLACatholicMen.com</a> to register, sign up for group discounts, find promotional materials for your parish bulletin, and to learn more about how you and businesses in your community can support the efforts of the Conference.

Why the Ordinary Catholic Life Is So Beautiful (Fr. Simon Esshaki) | Ep. 572

When it comes to leadership, few Apostles could match the leadership of St. Paul.  Where do we see that leadership?  In his actions, obviously, in his choices, but nowhere more clearly than when he shows his heart in his speeches.  I’d like to begin this first of four treatments of the speeches of Paul in Acts of The Apostles – speeches that gives us a window into the heart of his leadership.

Jesus and Satan: Lent Series, Ep 3

Tragically, Jeff’s journey with pornography began even earlier than his alcohol abuse at just eleven years old. Hear how the bondage of sexual sin made it very difficult to have a normal relationship with a woman, how it affects his marriage today, and what it took receive healing.

Episode 3: Sexual Sin

The foundation of the family is built upon a strong marriage. Our job as parents is to help lay a strong foundation for our children, not to build the house. Deacon Harold explores where Catholic Education truly begins, in the Home!  Also looking into the Soulful Psalms with Psalm 127.

Catholic Education

Reflection: Joseph's gifts to the Family were total. Charity heroically lays down life for friends. Daily Challenge: Give beyond comfort, aiding a Church ministry. Prayer: St. Joseph, generous provider, open my hands.

Day 13 Justice in Relationships | Michael Gormley, TMIY

Four virtues play a pivotal role and accordingly are called "cardinal"; all the others are grouped around them. They are: prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. Prudence is "right reason in action," according to St. Thomas Aquinas. Deacon Harold opens this up more as well as looks as Soulful Psalm 26

The Cardinal Virtues: Prudence

Father Martins was an avowed atheist. God had other plans. Now for the first time, Father Martins opens up about his remarkable conversion story and how God drafted him not just into ministry but into the spiritual war being fought all around us. For some people it's dramatic, for others it is simply a small whisper. We hope this encourages you that God has a plan! Thank you to our sponsors and Vault Members!Ollie. Feed the Obsession.

From Atheist to Exorcist: Father Martins' Amazing Conversion Story

Most men trying to break free from pornography have already tried something and it didn't stick. That's not a character flaw. There is a missing framework.In this episode, I speak with Joe Masek and Nick Redd, co-founders of The Freedom Group, two men who spent a combined 23+ years in the grip of pornography before finding lasting freedom and then built a proven system to guarantee it for other men in a year or less. This is one of the most important conversations I've had on this show.Joe and Nick break down exactly why most programs fail: they either go all-spiritual or all-physical and ignore what the science and the faith both agree on — you are a whole person. And you need a whole-person approach.We get into the neuroscience of addiction, why craving isn't about lust — it's about emotional dysregulation, the danger of identity-labeling ("once an addict, always an addict"), and why Joe believes learning to fight through hard things is what prepared him to watch his son battle brain cancer without crashing.Resources &amp; References Mentioned:<ul><li>The Freedom Group — <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://thefreedomgroup.co" target="_blank">thefreedomgroup.co</a> (Freedom Groups, Freedom Community, Kingmakers Community)</li><li>Free Porn Use Assessment — <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://thefreedomgroup.co" target="_blank">thefreedomgroup.co</a></li><li>Dan Allender — The Wounded Heart, story work and kingdom framework</li><li>Death by Comfort — book on the comfort crisis (referenced by Nick)</li></ul>3 Powerful Quotes:<ol><li>"Pornography has a way of taking a guy out at his knees from ever believing he could achieve anything. So he stops believing and settles into the rut, just trying to manage and get by."</li><li>"The opposite of addiction isn't sobriety. The opposite of addiction is communion."</li><li>"Communion is the greatest spiritual warfare. The enemy wants to divide — us from God, from ourselves, from each other, from creation. And righteous living? That's the biggest conviction of my life. The warfare I can participate in is holiness."</li></ol>Key Takeaway:Stop treating your struggles as purely spiritual or purely physical. Pick one thing in each category and stack them: fast today and bring it to prayer. Cold plunge and offer it up. Get sleep and go to confession this week. God made you body and soul — start fighting on both fronts, daily, one willing step at a time.Thank you for your prayers and support!Consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" target="_blank">https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc</a>) to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!Subscribe to our YouTube page: (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxrRLZNk4WqPdgcac5vuWEQ" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxrRLZNk4WqPdgcac5vuWEQ</a>)Check out our website (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.themanlycatholic.com" target="_blank">www.themanlycatholic.com</a>)Get delicious coffee from Mystic Monk CoffeeDownload TAN Digital to access the incredible TAN Library!

Ep 197 - The War You Cannot Lose: Breaking Free from Porn for Good with The Freedom Group

As we prepare for Palm Sunday, Deacon Harold opens the readings for Sunday along with the Soulful Psalm.

Palm Sunday

He is a film actor, New York Times Best-Selling author, producer, host, and two-time Emmy winner. He currently hosts NBC's "Access Hollywood" and "Access Daily" as well as a national radio show. Plus, he even has his own sports-related podcast that is talked about on this episode. He was recently inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, recognized as the 2022 Outstanding American, having wrestled for Chula Vista High School, finishing second in the San Diego section and seventh in the California Interscholastic Federation state tournament as a senior in one-class California in 1991. He also just held a golf classic for the Providence Saint Joseph Foundation. (Listen too as he also mentions boxing and jiu-jitsu.)

Is personal sin greater than God’s forgiveness? Jesus' actions include his ministry, passion, and death. His actions also include miracles; extraordinary signs of mercy, love, and compassion which show and express the presence of the Kingdom of God. Today, Deacon Harold looks into how to find our faith after we fall.
