*FINAL* INTERVIEW IN THE STUDIO (Jacob Imam) | Ep. 499

In this powerful episode of&nbsp;A Reason for Hope Podcast, Alanis Gonzalez and Matt Pana dive deep into one of the most important questions in the spiritual life:&nbsp;What truly moves the heart of God in prayer? Why does God answer some prayers and not others? How do we discern His timing? What does it actually mean to “find favor” with the Lord? And how can we grow in a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him—especially in seasons of silence, spiritual dryness, or waiting? Drawing from Scipture, the story of Hannah, the teachings of the Church, and personal testimony, this conversation explores:&nbsp;✨ Bold, authentic, heart-level prayer&nbsp;✨ God’s providential timing vs. our expectations&nbsp;✨ Spiritual apathy, comparison, and performative faith&nbsp;✨ How intimacy with God transforms our desires&nbsp;✨ Why unanswered prayers are&nbsp;not&nbsp;unheard prayers✨ The role of humility, endurance, and purification in the Catholic spiritual life✨ How sacraments—especially the Eucharist—restore, strengthen, and favor us Sciptures Quoted:1 SamuelIsaiah 43Romans 5Genesis 6Exodus 3 Whether you're struggling to hear God, longing for spiritual renewal, or seeking a deeper prayer life, this episode will bring clarity, encouragement, and hope. You&nbsp;are&nbsp;favored. You&nbsp;are&nbsp;chosen. And God bends His ear toward every prayer you breathe. -Support our Sponsors-<a href="https://bit.ly/4pd2t9B" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Magnifier</a>&nbsp;-&nbsp;An exciting new magazine to awaken wonder in children ages 7–12.<a href="https://bit.ly/44nYYUw" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Scapulars.com</a>&nbsp;- Divine protection in life and death with the most durable, comfortable scapulars ever made. -Support Our Mission-<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/donate" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Donate Here</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/events/" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Book an Event</a> -Follow Us On Social Media-Facebook:&nbsp;<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast</a>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast</a>YouTube:&nbsp;<a href="https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast</a> ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction01:20 Start of Interview 03:40 Common Misconceptions about Prayers Being Answered09:44 What are the requirements to be favored by God?13:00 How do we strengthen our relationship with the Lord? 15:28 Why does God not answer some prayers 20:58 Biblical Figures Who Found Favor with the Lord23:04 Importance of Receiving the Sacraments 25:28 Importance of the Eucharist

He Must Increase, I Must Decrease | Bible Study With Aquinas

Jealousy

In this episode, Dr. David Hajduk gives his take on whether the Devil is a personal reality, a fallen angel stirring up rebellion, menacing the world, and tempting human beings to fall and lose their souls, or just a symbol for evil or division in the world, which some Biblical scholars have proposed. The answer becomes clear once one reflects on the Church's constant teaching about angels and demons, Jesus' own engagement with the Devil and the demonic in His public ministry, and the experiences of modern-day exorcists. -Support our Sponsor-<a href="https://bit.ly/44nYYUw" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;">Scapulars.com</a> - Divine protection in life and in death with the most durable, comfortable scapulars ever made. ✨Be Sure to Like/Share/Subscribe/Comment @r4hpodcast - Connect with us! -Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/r4hpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/r4hpodcastYouTube:&nbsp;⁨https://www.youtube.com/@R4HPodcast⁩&nbsp;Website : https://arrayofhope.org/podcast #thetruth #thedevil #demons ⏰ Timecodes ⏰00:00 Intro03:11 Angels &amp; Demons05:30 Angels06:22 The Devil &amp; Demons10:47 Scapulars.com11:46 Jesus Against Demons and the Devil15:08 Jesus tells us Demons and the Devil are real!16:26 Exorcists and the supernatural17:50 End

Pruning

Strategy is nothing without the courage to see it through.
&hellip; Hosts Pat Lencioni and Chris Stefanick give a daily reflection for Christians in the workplace.

Strategy Takes Courage

Exorcisms have been around for millennia within the Church. No one outside the Catholic Church has the authority to cast out demons. In this episode, John Heinen sits down with Charles Fraune to talk about the spiritual war most men never see, and the unexpected allies exorcists call on to help them win it. These aren’t tricks or hacks within their toolkit. These are real accounts from modern-day spiritual battles, where demons rage at the names of certain saints and physical relics cause real torment. 
 
Charles shares what he’s learned from working with exorcists, what the Church teaches about the saints’ ongoing mission, and why every man needs to claim spiritual warriors to fight for him and with him. You don’t need to be possessed to need a saint. You just need to be in the battle, and we all are.

Ask a Catholic Therapist: Parenting, Boundaries, and Healing | Ep. 384

Many men think staying in the marriage is enough. They don't cheat, they provide, they avoid conflict, but is this all there is to marriage? In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt expose the silent drift that leads so many marriages to die long before anyone leaves.
They unpack what 73% of divorcing couples identify as the root issue, and redefine it in light of Scripture, covenant commitment, and the honest purpose of marriage. The conversation dives deep into what it truly means to lead, to suffer with, and to sanctify through your vocation as a husband.
If your marriage feels stunted, strained, or disconnected, let's discuss how marriage can be your ultimate glory.

Why do we crave comfort so fervently? Jordan Peterson and Andrew Huberman have gained fame by dissecting the pitfalls of pursuing comfort. They offer a roadmap out of the rut many find themselves in, emphasizing the crucial role of discipline. Undoubtedly, discipline is essential, yet it alone cannot propel you to the heights of success. Today, we delve into why discipline, while necessary, is just one piece of the puzzle – whether it's advancing in life or battling demons. We show that without hope, discipline falls short in sculpting the best man you can become. Listen to discover how to transcend mere discipline and how to achieve that success you want.✅ We love to answer questions on the show.

If you don&rsquo;t become love, you&rsquo;re missing the whole point. In Chapter Six: Love, we hit the emotional and spiritual climax of the series. Father Larry doesn&rsquo;t pull punches&mdash;he reminds us that Jesus gave just one command: Love one another as I have loved you (John 13:34). And that love isn&rsquo;t soft. It&rsquo;s the Cross. It&rsquo;s sacrifice. It&rsquo;s strength poured out. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Chapter 6: Real Love

If faith casts out fear and fear is the beginning of wisdom, does that mean faith casts out the beginning of wisdom? We'll talk about three types of fear: servile, filial, and reverential. --- HUGE THANKS to the following Patrons: Tom Dickson, Jack Buss, Sean McNicholl, Jed Florstat, Daniel Szafran, Phillip Hadden Katie Kuchar, Phillipe Ortiz, Russell T Potee, Sarah Jacob, Fernando Enrile --- Fear is a movement of the appetitive power, as stated above (I-II:41:1). Now the principle of all appetitive movements is the good or evil apprehended: and consequently the principle of fear and of every appetitive movement must be an apprehension. Again, through faith there arises in us an apprehension of certain penal evils, which are inflicted in accordance with the Divine judgment. On this way, then, faith is a cause of the fear whereby one dreads to be punished by God; and this is servile fear. It is also the cause of filial fear, whereby one dreads to be separated from God, or whereby one shrinks from equalling oneself to Him, and holds Him in reverence, inasmuch as faith makes us appreciate God as an unfathomable and supreme good, separation from which is the greatest evil, and to which it is wicked to wish to be equalled. Of the first fear, viz. servile fear, lifeless faith is the cause, while living faith is the cause of the second, viz. filial fear, because it makes man adhere to God and to be subject to Him by charity.

55: What does it mean to fear the Lord?

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>

In today's episode, hosts John Heinen and Sam Guzman discuss the actual teachings of the Eucharist relying on the words from the Holy Scripture. We go through the Scripture and pull out 5 different sections in the Bible to prove the truth of the Eucharist that all men must understand. We rely heavily on other Scripture verses to further support these primary verses. Men, the Eucharist can transform you; read, pray, and learn to love Christ in the Eucharist. 🔴 LEARN MORE ABOUT Catholic Gentleman+ - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com/finally-here 🔴 Learn more about your ad choices.

88: What do you think about the parable of the Prodigal Son?

First, whatever a thing has besides its essence must be caused either by the constituent principles of that essence (like a property that necessarily accompanies the species--as the faculty of laughing is proper to a man--and is caused by the constituent principles of the species), or by some exterior agent--as heat is caused in water by fire. Therefore, if the existence of a thing differs from its essence, this existence must be caused either by some exterior agent or by its essential principles. Now it is impossible for a thing's existence to be caused by its essential constituent principles, for nothing can be the sufficient cause of its own existence, if its existence is caused. Therefore that thing, whose existence differs from its essence, must have its existence caused by another. But this cannot be true of God; because we call God the first efficient cause. Therefore it is impossible that in God His existence should differ from His essence. Secondly, existence is that which makes every form or nature actual; for goodness and humanity are spoken of as actual, only because they are spoken of as existing. Therefore existence must be compared to essence, if the latter is a distinct reality, as actuality to potentiality. Therefore, since in God there is no potentiality, as shown above (Article 1), it follows that in Him essence does not differ from existence. Therefore His essence is His existence. Thirdly, because, just as that which has fire, but is not itself fire, is on fire by participation; so that which has existence but is not existence, is a being by participation. But God is His own essence, as shown above (Article 3) if, therefore, He is not His own existence He will be not essential, but participated being. He will not therefore be the first being--which is absurd. Therefore God is His own existence, and not merely His own essence. ST. 1. Q3. A4.

116: Aquinas' 5 Ways, with Robert Delfino

I've had many conversations with good Protestant friends of mine about the similarities between Catholics and all other denominations. The saying I hear most often is, "we all pretty much believe the same things anyway, right?"&nbsp;
Wrong.&nbsp;
That's a hard pill to swallow. It can be an even harder pill to administer. We don't like showing people where we are divided. We're divided enough, aren't we?&nbsp;
I agree that we don't need to be constantly running around calling people heretics and having theological debates, especially if we agree on most values and principles.&nbsp;
BUT there is a difference between Catholic beliefs and Protestant beliefs. And these differences are substantial. The differences impact our road to salvation, so they're important enough to share. 
 
In today's episode, I highlight some of those differences. This is Part Two of Catholic vs. Protestant, so be sure to check out the first episode if you haven't yet!

Does God Want You to be Rich?

What does it actually mean to persevere?In this episode, Adam and David unpack the Catholic understanding of perseverance—not as white-knuckled suffering, but as faithfully enduring in the pursuit of the good over time.Using insights from St. Thomas Aquinas, they explain why perseverance is less about dramatic hardship and more about showing up day after day in prayer, marriage, fatherhood, and work—even when there is no immediate payoff.From the slow labor of a sow giving birth, to the monotony of daily prayer, to the demands of being present as a father, this episode reframes perseverance as one of the most essential virtues for the modern man.Topics include:<ol><li data-list="bullet">St. Thomas Aquinas’ definition of perseverance</li><li data-list="bullet">The difference between perseverance and constancy</li><li data-list="bullet">Why perseverance is about duration, not difficulty</li><li data-list="bullet">Why there is no “excess” of perseverance</li><li data-list="bullet">Final perseverance as a gift from God</li><li data-list="bullet">Why motivation fades but discipline remains</li><li data-list="bullet">Practical ways to grow in perseverance as a man</li></ol>

Perseverance: The Virtue of Enduring in the Good

The Bible has a lot to say about talking.  The Letter of St. James, for example, says the tongue is the key to all virtue.  The Lord Himself says that every idle word we’ll have to account for on the day of judgement.  And all of us who manage people know the power of words to edify and destroy.  But what is the value of silence?  Is it possible to talk too much?  How do we know when to speak and what to say?  Pope St. Gregory The Great has some valuable insights.

What Exactly is SCHISM? | Fr. Gregory Pine O.P

St. Paul is surely one of the most famous leaders listed in the entire Bible.  His life reads like a passionate saga and is full of lessons for those of us, who being Christians, want to follow in his footsteps leading in our world.  That’s why his second letter to Timothy is so important.  It actually chronicles St. Paul’s final letter in the New Testament to one of his closest disciples.  Chapter 3 of this letter offers us wonderful insight into faith’s capacity to bring us endurance.

Heroic Discipleship Summit

Scott Williams from Catholic Concepts &amp; Sock Religious is back for the bonus show. Scott is a ministry professional turned entrepreneur and the founder of the largest Catholic sock company in the world (probably). After working nearly a decade in full-time youth ministry, Scott turned a side hustle into a rapidly growing small business in a niche Catholic corner of the internet. If you asked Scott 10 years ago if he would be selling socks and other merchandise, he would have said you're crazy. Scott and the Dudes get started with a round of “Blessed are the Joke Makers” during which they take on multiple personalities to complete the prompt, “I’m a bad Catholic because ______.” Then Scott takes the opportunity to debut several new sock designs from Sock Religious, including Blessed Carlos Acutis, the Eucharist in the Monstrance series, and the history of the Pope Mobile.

How to Transform Your Life Through Suffering

Today we’re talking about something we see far too often: living with one foot in the world and one foot in the faith. It’s time to make a choice, to stop hedging our bets, and go all in with Christ.

In this episode, we share our own struggles with lukewarm faith and explore what it means to commit fully to God. We look at examples from Scripture—like Elijah calling out the people on Mount Carmel and David’s heartfelt psalm of trust—to remind us that God doesn’t want a half-hearted relationship. Advent is a time to prepare, reflect, and decide: Will we give our all to Him, or keep clinging to the distractions of the world?

Victor and I are passionate about helping you find the joy, peace, and purpose that only Christ can bring. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who’s ready to stop living a "safe" faith and start living a fulfilled one.

Don’t miss this one, and as always, share it with someone who might need to hear this message. God bless!

129: Aquinas on Anger, with Fr. Chris Pietraszko

In Chapter 9 of De Regno, Thomas Aquinas makes a startling discovery.  He speaks about the reward that God is offering for the leader.  And he ends by saying that the reward of the leader is to have God himself.  This strikes me as important for us to understand the true nature of happiness – the true reason of why we are doing what we are doing.

Philosophy, Philosophy, Philosophy (Dr. Alex Plato) | Ep. 371

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re silently carrying the weight of the world—brokenness, shame, or wounds you’ve never been able to share. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to carry it by yourself anymore.

Last weekend, the  @JPIIHealingCenter   hosted the first-ever Restored Men’s Healing Conference, and it was powerful. Men from all over the country (and even other countries!) showed up with open hearts, some for the very first time. These were men who had been silently suffering for years—dealing with wounds from abandonment, addiction, rejection, or just feeling like they’re not enough. Over the weekend, we watched God work in incredible ways as men opened up, shared their stories, and allowed Christ to step into those broken places. It was humbling and hopeful.

In this episode, Victor and I unpack some of the key takeaways from the conference and dive deep into the struggles many of us face but rarely talk about. We’ll cover why we feel like we need to hide our pain, how self-reliance is a trap, and most importantly, how God’s grace can reshape the broken parts of our lives.

Here’s the truth: Healing is possible. You can start today. You don’t have to have it all figured out; you just have to take one step forward. Let’s talk about how.

Philippians 4:1-9

There is a lot of talk today in Catholic circles about virtuous leadership.  This is a good thing but do we know why virtue is important?  Why does Catholic teaching emphasize virtue so much and why should it be important to business leadership?  In this second of a six part series I lead our participants through an examination of the importance of identity for leadership and the importance of virtue for identity.  If we are going to admit that leadership comes from who we are and virtues help define who we are, then we see the importance of virtues for leadership.

Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet | Fr. Chris Alar, MIC | Episode #092

All of us want to make a difference for Christ in our culture today.  But most of us don’t know where to begin.  A wide variety of issues competes for our attention.  One thing the Catholic church has consistently argued is that the family is the root of society.  As the family goes so the world will go.  Maybe this is why for the Catholic church so much attention is spent on developing family ties.  Why is this so, however?  And what importance should we give the family in our own efforts to transform the culture for Christ today?

The Devil Loves Distractions | Ep 264

This is the first part in a three part series on happiness. Buckle up! We take you into the writings of Aquinas and show how his advice can help you today. Please consider supporting me on Patreon, <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">here</a>. Some of Aquinas' text: Article 1. Whether happiness is something uncreated? Objection 1. It would seem that happiness is something uncreated. For Boethius says (De Consol. iii): "We must needs confess that God is happiness itself." Objection 2. Further, happiness is the supreme good. But it belongs to God to be the supreme good. Since, then, there are not several supreme goods, it seems that happiness is the same as God. Objection 3. Further, happiness is the last end, to which man's will tends naturally. But man's will should tend to nothing else as an end, but to God, Who alone is to be enjoyed, as Augustine says (De Doctr. Christ. i, 5,22). Therefore happiness is the same as God. On the contrary, Nothing made is uncreated. But man's happiness is something made; because according to Augustine (De Doctr. Christ. i, 3): "Those things are to be enjoyed which make us happy." Therefore happiness is not something uncreated. I answer that, As stated above (I-II:1:8; I-II:2:7), our end is twofold. First, there is the thing itself which we desire to attain: thus for the miser, the end is money. Secondly there is the attainment or possession, the use or enjoyment of the thing desired; thus we may say that the end of the miser is the possession of money; and the end of the intemperate man is to enjoy something pleasurable. In the first sense, then, man's last end is the uncreated good, namely, God, Who alone by His infinite goodness can perfectly satisfy man's will. But in the second way, man's last end is something created, existing in him, and this is nothing else than the attainment or enjoyment of the last end. Now the last end is called happiness. If, therefore, we consider man's happiness in its cause or object, then it is something uncreated; but if we consider it as to the very essence of happiness, then it is something created. Reply to Objection 1. God is happiness by His Essence: for He is happy not by acquisition or participation of something else, but by His Essence. On the other hand, men are happy, as Boethius says (De Consol. iii), by participation; just as they are called "gods," by participation. And this participation of happiness, in respect of which man is said to be happy, is something created. Reply to Objection 2. Happiness is called man's supreme good, because it is the attainment or enjoyment of the supreme good. Reply to Objection 3. Happiness is said to be the last end, in the same way as the attainment of the end is called the end. Learn more about your ad choices.

165: Aquinas on happiness W/ Fr. Ryan Mann (part 1)

To solve any problem, we must first understand the situation and the more we can discern the causes, the more effectively we can identify a solution. Today's guest has raised and spent 20 million dollars seeking to know the cause for the decline of Christianity, specifically church attendance and open affiliation, in the West. Once discovered, he created a program that in only 3 years, across the entire city of Jacksonville, FL drove the divorce rate down by 24%. In addition, the city saw an increase of marital health, family stability, and church engagement. I am joined by J.P. De Gance to learn all about this study, his findings, and the changes that can occur with the work he is doing. We give a clear call to action to all listeners about what they can do to be a part of the solution.

How Philosophy Helped a Fitness Expert Return to Catholicism | Guest Pat Flynn

As much as we hear about pornography in today's world, there's something we don't hear about all that much: how women struggle with it. This week on "Pints with Aquinas," I welcome Rachael Killackey, who shares her own story about struggling with pornography and the practical insights she's learned in her healing journey, including: - Why women experience pornography differently than men - Who you should (and should not) ask to be an accountability partner - How to confess an addiction to porn to someone without it being awkward - Why you shouldn't be on social media if you struggle with pornography <a href="https://pints.mattfradd.com/pwa-confessions-signup/">Sign up for my free course on St. Augustine's "Confessions"!</a> SPONSORS Hallow: <a href="http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a> STRIVE: <a href="https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> Homeschool Connections: <a href="https://homeschoolconnections.com/matt/">https://homeschoolconnections.com/matt/</a> 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.

How to Heal and Grow beyond Envy w/ Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

There’s nothing like the NBA and NHL Finals… unless you count professional pillow fighting. 
In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob celebrate the end of the sports season with a rundown of the Stanley Cup, the NBA Finals, and the rise of summer’s strangest athletic events, including the Pillow Fighting Championship (yes, it’s real). 
But the heart of the episode is hope—the kind that doesn’t come from scores or summer plans, but from Christ. They reflect on the Eucharist, the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, and the graces poured out at recent conferences at Franciscan and Notre Dame. From youth ministry to marriage milestones, they explore what it means to trust God with both our spiritual and everyday needs. 
Naturally, they go off on tangents, from hotel bathrobes and awkward airline announcements to anniversary shoutouts and the idea of launching a Franciscan pillow-fighting team (tentative name: the Franciscan Feathers). 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Bathrobes, Notre Dame, and the $175 Upcharge  
Deacon Bob checks in from the Morris Inn at the University of Notre Dame, complimentary robe included. He’s there for <a href='https://mcgrath.nd.edu/about/centers-initiatives-and-programs/notre-dame-vision/'>Notre Dame Vision</a>, a youth program inviting high schoolers into deeper faith.
(03:30) Sports Wrap and the Rise of Pillow Fighting  
From there, they pivot to sports: the <a href='https://www.nhl.com/news/panthers-continue-celebration-with-beachfront-parade'>Florida Panthers clinch the Stanley Cup,</a> <a href='https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/45565932/thunder-overwhelm-pacers-game-7-franchise-first-title'>Oklahoma City Thunder top the Pacers in Game 7</a>, and <a href='https://www.forbes.com/sites/giovannimalloy/2025/06/19/the-improbability-of-canadas-stanley-cup-drought/'>Canada’s Stanley Cup drought continues</a>. And just when you think sports can’t get weirder—enter the <a href='https://fightpfc.com/'>Pillow Fighting Championship,</a> now with corporate sponsorships and, apparently, rules. 
(10:31) Augustine and Airport Public Shaming  
Fr. Dave highlights a recent In Focus episode featuring Dr. Shane Owens, where they unpack the enduring relevance of St. Augustine’s Confessions in a world increasingly shaped by AI and secular culture. The conversation quickly pivots, though, as Deacon Bob shares a less lofty moment: a painfully awkward moment from his flight to South Bend, where a bathroom break turned into a public shaming over the intercom. 
(19:29) Hope as Grace: Conferences and Franciscan Honeymoon  
Father Dave shares stories from the <a href='https://steubenvilleconferences.com/events/power-purpose-conference/'>Power and Purpose Conference</a>, themed around hope. He reflects on hope as a grace—not just good vibes or optimism—and mentions a couple who spent their 50th wedding anniversary and a couple on their honeymoon at the same event. 
(23:01) Corpus Christi and the God Who Satisfies  
Jesus didn’t just meet spiritual needs. He fed the crowds too. Father Dave and Deacon Bob explore how our trust in God is often strong in the abstract, but wavers in daily stresses. They tie it back to Corpus Christi, Romans 5, and the gift of the Holy Spirit. 
(28:34) Sacred Hearts, Summer Kickoffs, and Marriage Milestones  
Deacon Bob celebrates 28 years of marriage on the same day as the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. He also gives a shoutout to the kickoff of <a href='https://steubenvilleconferences.com/youth-conferences/'>Franciscan’s high school youth conferences</a> and the ongoing <a href='https://steubenvilleconferences.com/events/priests-deacons-seminarians-retreat/'>Priests, Deacons, and Seminarians Retreat.</a> 
(31:10) Praying for Peace in a Complicated World  
The hosts close with a prayer for peace amid global tensions, especially in the <a href='https://www.bbc.com/news/world/middle_east'>Middle East</a> and <a href='https://www.bbc.com/news/war-in-ukraine'>Ukraine.</a> They close with a reflection on Pope Leo’s Angelus invitation to prayer and remind listeners that lasting peace only comes from the Heart of Christ.

What do a prodigal son, a Belize beach revival, and Marian apparitions in Rwanda have in common? 
They all point us back to the mercy of the Father. This week on They That Hope, Deacon Bob Rice and Father Dave Pivonka reflect on powerful journeys of repentance, healing, and homecoming—from the Gospel of Luke to the real-life stories unfolding in mission fields and pilgrimage sites. 
Recording from opposite sides of the globe, the hosts reunite after two transformative trips. Deacon Bob shares about leading Franciscan University students on mission in Belize, where their joyful witness brought hope to a struggling culture. Father Dave recounts his pilgrimage to Rwanda with Immaculée Ilibagiza, diving deep into the Church-approved Marian apparitions at Kibeho and the painful echoes of genocide. 
Amid reflections on mercy and reconciliation, they also manage to squeeze in March Madness predictions, NBA tanking controversy, and a surprisingly heartfelt conversation about snorkeling (yes, snorkeling gets emotional too). From returning to God after hitting rock bottom to living out faith in a divided world, this episode is a moving invitation to come home to the Father—again and again.

A Beer Drinking, Aquinas Studying, Restful Retreat (& Dr. Craig Stuff)

<h1>BBQ Judging, Scythe Harvesting, and Christian Marriage</h1><ul><li>Barbecue Competition Judging: Adam shares his first experience as a barbecue competition judge at a local Catholic church and school fundraiser in Tulsa, where he was joined by his son Jude (assistant judge) and two priests.</li><li>Judged four categories: chicken, pulled pork, ribs, and brisket (Adam insists brisket is the primary measure; David (wrongly) argues for ribs).</li><li>12 pit masters competed; judged on appearance, taste, tenderness, texture, uniqueness, and overall (max score 25).</li><li>Advice from Joe Martin’s son: Take one bite per entry to avoid overeating (48 bites total across 40 minutes).</li><li>Adam judged strictly (e.g., scores as low as 14, zero for appearance), while priests gave higher scores (23–24), highlighting differing standards.</li><li>Event fostered camaraderie among pit masters (12 hours together) and service to attendees, teaching kids sacrifice, friendship, and craft articulation.</li><li>Shout-out to Brian Schooley for organizing; Adam and David plan to enter as The Catholic Man Show next year, with Jim in a dunk tank.</li></ul> <h2>Main Discussion</h2><h3>Wheat Harvest with a Scythe</h3><ul><li>David’s Experience: David harvested two 45x45-foot wheat plots using a scythe, finding it soothing, peaceful, and in tune with nature despite being exhausting.</li><li>Quotes Wendell Berry: “The means we use to do our work almost certainly affects the way we look at the world” (via an X account, @minahan8).</li><li>Compared to last year’s sickle (felt “commie”), the scythe was efficient for small-scale farming; not practical for large-scale but satisfying.</li><li>Kids raked straw (post-harvest, nutritionless due to seeding) for pig bedding or garden mulch; straw vs. hay explained (hay retains nutrition).</li><li>Adam plans to borrow David’s scythe for his own wheat harvest, nervous about back strain.</li><li>Wendell Berry Reflection: Hosts revisit Berry’s essays, appreciating his beautiful, idealistic conclusions but finding his reasoning insufficient (e.g., abandoning tractors would starve people).</li><li>Compare Berry’s idealism to J.R.R. Tolkien and Guardini's Letters at Lake Como; both depict lovely worlds but lack practical solutions for modern challenges.</li></ul> <h3>Christian Marriage and Pope Leo XIII</h3><ul><li>Introduction to Pope Leo XIII: Adam introduces Pope Leo XIII (1810–1903), a prophetic figure who addressed modernity’s challenges (secularism, communism, liberalism) in the late 19th century.</li><li>Known for Rerum Novarum (1891, Catholic social teaching), reviving Thomism in seminaries (to counter Nietzsche, Hegel, and communism), and engaging modern society.</li><li>His encyclical Arcanum Divinae Sapientiae (1880) emphasizes Christian marriage as a divine, not secular, institution, foundational to society.</li><li>Critiqued rise of divorce, moral relativism, and civil interference undermining marriage’s sanctity; argued church, not state, holds primary authority over marriage.</li><li>Marriage as Trinitarian Image: Marriage mirrors the Trinity’s relational society, where spousal love is so real it produces a third (child), reflecting Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.</li><li>Secular view (Enlightenment-era and today) reduces marriage to a consensual contract, ignoring its sacramental, stable, and permanent nature.</li><li>State has a role in regulating marriage per natural law, but church’s supernatural authority supersedes.</li></ul> <h3>Ephesians 5 and Mutual Submission</h3><ul><li>Scriptural Basis: Leo XIII references Ephesians 5 (footnoted), where St. Paul instructs mutual submission out of reverence for Christ, with specific roles: wives submit to husbands, husbands love wives as Christ loved the church.</li><li>Secular society fixates on “wives submit,” ignoring mutual submission and husbands’ sacrificial love.</li><li>Submission Defined: Adam posits submission stems from extreme trust (in a good relationship) or fear (in a bad one); David nuances that even small decisions involve trust or fear, and submission means aligning with another’s mission (e.g., heaven).</li><li>Ideal marriage: Both spouses are so submissive they forget themselves, sharing one mission (heaven), as exemplified by Mary and Joseph (near-perfect).</li><li>Practical Mission: Couples must articulate what “getting to heaven” means (e.g., prioritizing Mass over sports, family dinners, or vacation choices).</li><li>Early marriage decisions set family identity, reducing conflicts when children’s desires arise; trust builds when both spouses prioritize each other’s salvation.</li><li>Example: Blessed Karl of Austria to Zita: “Now we must get to heaven together,” requiring intentional, sometimes extreme steps.</li></ul> <h2>Break 1: Pilgrimage Sponsor</h2><ul><li>Select International Tours: Leading pilgrimages for 34 years with top guides and hotels. Visit selectinternationaltours.com for details.</li></ul> <h2>Second Segment: Roles in Christian Marriage</h2><ul><li>Husband as Leader: Husband is head of the household (per Genesis), leading with love, not dominance, kneeling beside his wife in prayer.</li><li>David prays daily for the Holy Spirit to inspire Pamela’s intuition, valuing her as a “helper” (biblical term for Holy Spirit), taking her insights seriously for family decisions.</li><li>Adam prays during Adoration for Haylee to grow closer to Mary, modeling humility and femininity.</li><li>Leadership Analogy: Like business, where employees leave due to poor leaders, not the mission, wives stay committed if husbands lead with love toward heaven.</li><li>Neglecting presence or duties undermines the mission, making separation easier despite shared goals.</li><li>Formation: Husbands must prioritize prayer, Holy Spirit inspiration, and faith learning to pass tradition to children, adapting as family life grows louder and more complex.</li></ul> <h3>Family Prayer Challenges</h3><ul><li>David’s Routine: Observes “great silence” mornings to foster prayer and silence as a virtue, though young kids (e.g., 2-year-old Susanna) need reminders.</li><li>Older siblings model behavior, reinforcing communal prayer (before/after meals, morning, bedtime).</li><li>Adam’s Struggle: Excels at communal prayer but struggles to safeguard individual prayer time for Haylee (10 minutes of silent contemplation); sees it as his role to protect her prayer, and vice versa.</li><li>Homeschooling complicates silence (starts at 6 AM when kids sleep); mutual submission includes guarding each other’s prayer time.</li><li>Husband’s Role: Create space for wives to flourish in femininity, free from burdens men ideally handle, requiring intentionality.</li></ul> <h2>Break 2: Return to Discussion</h2><ul><li>Sacramental Calling: Marriage is a sacramental vocation for salvation, under church authority (Arcanum Divinae Sapientiae); natural institution (state-regulated) but primarily supernatural (church-governed).</li><li>Polygamy isn’t against natural law, but church elevates monogamy as supernatural ideal.</li><li>Instilling Marriage’s Importance in Children: In a secular world of promiscuity and dating apps, parents must:</li><li>Model Complementarity: Display masculine men and feminine women (e.g., dresses enhance femininity, not mandatory) to show distinct, complementary roles.</li><li>Shield from Technology: Delay exposure to apps like Tinder, which allure with shallow choice over marriage’s depth.</li><li>Promote Virtue: Teach what to do (virtue) over what not to do, fostering human flourishing, not legalism.</li><li>Measure Virtue: Name virtues (e.g., generosity, kindness) to give them value, like business metrics or Snapchat streaks, making them family goals.</li><li>Set Mission: Reinforce family mission (heaven) through consistent leadership, building trust in parents’ heavenly intent.</li></ul> <h2>Podcast-Exclusive Segment: Encyclicals and Legacy</h2><ul><li>Leo XIII’s Legacy: Oldest pope at death (93), first recorded/photographed; addressed Freemasonry (1880s, less relevant today).</li><li>Recommended reading: The Church Speaks to the Modern World (Doubleday, Image Books) compiles Leo XIII’s social teachings, available on abooks.com.</li><li>Suggests great book groups intersperse encyclicals (e.g., Rerum Novarum, Arcanum Divinae Sapientiae) with classics for rich discussion.</li><li>Patreon Support: Offers audiobooks of five Leo XIII encyclicals, professionally recorded by humans (pre-AI), at catholicmanshow.com.</li><li>Father’s Goal: Reflect the Father’s love, giving children a glimpse of divine love through husbandly and fatherly sacrifice, despite failures.</li></ul> <h2>Closing Thoughts</h2><ul><li>Takeaway: Christian marriage, as Leo XIII taught, is a sacramental foundation of society, requiring mutual submission, trust, and a shared mission to heaven, modeled through virtuous leadership and complementarity.</li><li>Encyclical Recommendation: Read Arcanum Divinae Sapientiae (1880) for a primer on Christian marriage’s divine role.</li><li>Final Cheers: “We’re on the Lord’s team, the winning side. Raise your glass! Cheers to Jesus!”</li></ul> <h2>Action Items for Listeners</h2><ul><li>Read Encyclicals: Explore Arcanum Divinae Sapientiae (1880) and Rerum Novarum (1891) for Leo XIII’s insights on marriage and society.</li><li>Model Marriage: Display complementary masculinity and femininity; prioritize virtue over legalism to teach children marriage’s value.</li><li>Protect Prayer: Safeguard communal and individual prayer times (e.g., great silence, 10 minutes for spouse’s contemplation).</li><li>Set Family Mission: Articulate and live the mission to heaven through intentional decisions, building trust and identity.</li><li>Support the Show: Join Patreon at catholicmanshow.com for access to Leo XIII encyclical audiobooks and more.</li><li>Read Berry: Revisit Wendell Berry’s essays for beautiful, if idealistic, reflections on work and society.</li></ul> <h2>Sponsor Mentions</h2><ul><li>Select International Tours: selectinternationaltours.com</li></ul>

He started his career in the car business in 1990 washing cars before working his way up and partnering in three different Volkswagen stores. He is now the General Manager for Sam Pack's Five Star Chevrolet in Carrollton, TX.Alan’s relationship with work took a life-changing turn when a friend challenged him to add prayer to his manager meetings.

Alan faced an immense challenge when he was chairman of the VW National Dealer Council through Diesel Gate and the subsequent settlement.

Why NBA All Star Gordon Hayward Became Catholic

Let’s face it, leading other people is always hard.  If we say the wrong thing in the wrong way, we can actually discourage the people we are supposed to encourage.  On the other hand if we just tell them the truth like it is, we can leave them without any motivation.  Speaking the word of truth correctly is the art and essence of good communication and leadership.  But how do we do this?  Pope St. Gregory the Great offers us some amazing insights in his book, “On The Rule of Shepherds – Book 3.”

Back To a Sunday Best: Men, Take Yourselves Seriously

Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome John Egan to share one of the most remarkable stories of faith, redemption, and the unexpected ways God works through ordinary efforts.
John recounts his time as director of The Pines Catholic Camp in East Texas, where the dream of building an air-conditioned chapel, against all odds, turned into more than just a construction project. With limited funds, relentless faith, and the help of staff, family, and alumni, John and his wife literally helped build a church from the ground up.
But the story didn’t end there. Through a providential connection with the
foreman “Buddy,” a man whose personal struggles and redemption journey would culminate in an unexpected conversion, the chapel became the site of healing, grace, and even Buddy’s funeral Mass. The conversation highlights themes of perseverance, family reconciliation, sacramental grace, and God’s relentless pursuit of each soul.
The heart of this BeatiDudes’ episode is a testimony to how God works through ordinary efforts to create extraordinary grace. Whether you’ve ever hammered a nail for a parish project or simply wondered if God can redeem the broken parts of our stories, this episode will leave you inspired and grateful for the ways the Spirit shows up when we say “yes.”
