Why a Protestant Doctor Dared to Analyze the Early Church | Catholic Conversion Story

Alex Trevino is a strong Catholic husband, father, and businessman. He is also the founder and president of a film production company called Project Thirty-Six. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, Alex joins the Dudes by taking on the persona of a penny-pinching cheapskate to finish the prompt, “Next on Catholic radio, we will be talking about _______”Alex shares the details of his loving family, which includes four kids on Earth and one in Heaven after losing a baby during pregnancy just seven months earlier. This is Alex’s first time sharing the story of their loss publicly, and he beautifully expresses the sadness, healing, and recovery that is underway in his family. Alex never imagined that visiting a child’s gravesite would become a routine part of every Sunday. Alex encourages anyone facing grief to seek help, and the Dudes share more about resources that are available, including Red Bird Ministries. This show highlights perseverance and the Father’s loving care. <h2>Follow Alex:</h2><a href="https://my.captivate.fm/www.projectthirtysix.com">Project Thirty-Six</a>Instagram - @alextrevino1989<a href="https://www.redbird.love/">Red Bird Ministries</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</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>

My Personal Testimony

Bishop William McGratton discusses various topics including retirement, unity in the Church, creating belonging and joy, forming missionary disciples, welcoming immigrants, fasting from media, supporting priests and seminarians, and promoting Eucharistic adoration for vocations.
Takeaways
Unity in the Church is important and should be built up rather than attacked.
Creating a sense of belonging and joy in the community is crucial for evangelization.
Forming missionary disciples is a priority, especially among men, to strengthen the Church.
Supporting priests and seminarians is essential for their well-being and the future of the Church.
Promoting Eucharistic adoration can inspire vocations and deepen faith.

A Dram with Bishop McGratton

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

In this final installation of Wisdom from the Road, Sean once again invites and challenges men of all ages to reach out to their brothers in faith to gain encouragement for the hardships of the journey of life, and to build each other up in building up the Church. He knows we need to share the load with others in order to give and receive strength, courage, and growth in faith.

Friends, what's the proper relationship between liberal democracy and the Catholic Church? Many smart and reflective people, on either side of the Catholic/American divide, have felt that the two systems, democracy and Catholicism, were incompatible. But why? Using the thought of the 19th century French diplomat and political philosopher, Alexis de Tocqueville, Bishop Barron explores this question in his <a href= "https://www.heritage.org/conservatism/event/the-2023-russell-kirk-lecture-featuring-bishop-robert-barron" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "2023 Russell Kirk Lecture - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">2023 Russell Kirk Lecture</a> for the <a href= "https://www.heritage.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "Heritage Foundation - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link= "">Heritage Foundation</a>, titled "The Breakdown of the Tocquevillean Equilibrium."

WOF 426: Democracy and the Catholic Church

You check all the boxes—good job, nice house, family, success—but still wake up asking, "Is this all there is?" You're not alone. 

This week in the pew, John is joined by his longtime friend Bart Schuchts, founder of Church on Fire and ministry leader with the John Paul II Healing Center, for an honest conversation about finding your God-given purpose when life feels like you're just surviving instead of thriving. Drawing from Scripture and raw personal experience, John and Bart explore why so many men are stuck in cycles of despair, working jobs that drain their souls while their hearts scream for something more.

A Lion in the Ocean with Bart Schuchts

This week on In Layman's Terms, hosts John Soukup and Bob Sullivan welcome one of the most recognizable voices in Catholic evangelization today: Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers &mdash; widely known as &ldquo;The Dynamic Deacon.&rdquo;
A nationally and internationally known speaker, preacher, and retreat leader, Deacon Harold is respected for his direct, practical, and uncompromising approach to the Catholic faith. In this powerful conversation, he addresses some of the deepest struggles facing men today: purpose, fear, prayer, failure, broken relationships, and spiritual exhaustion.
What does it really mean to discern God's will? Why do so many men fear failure? What should a man do when he feels spiritually stuck or distant from God? And for fathers carrying wounded relationships with their children, where does healing begin?
Listeners will also hear Deacon Harold offer practical guidance for building a disciplined prayer life &mdash; even for men who feel too busy to pray &mdash; and explain why humility, perseverance, and daily faithfulness matter more than perfection.
If you know a man searching for direction, strength, or deeper purpose, this is an episode you'll want to share.
Join us for an honest, challenging, and deeply encouraging conversation this week on In Layman's Terms on the Spirit Catholic Radio network.
In Layman's Terms with co-hosts John Soukup and Bob Sullivan, a show dedicated to empowering Catholic men to live with mission, purpose, and faith. Drawing inspiration from Bob's popular column in the Southern Nebraska Register, each episode dives deep into topics that shape a man's spiritual journey&mdash;virtue, brotherhood, sacrifice, prayer, and the ongoing spiritual battle. With thought-provoking discussions and expert guests, this program is a source of strength and inspiration for men striving to lead meaningful, faith-filled lives&mdash;and for the people who support and love them.

Biblical Foundations for Catholic Beliefs About the Blessed Virgin Mary (William Albrecht) | Ep. 560

Life passes us by so quickly. If we don&#39;t take some time to intentionally check if we&#39;re heading in the right direction, we&#39;re almost destined to end up with results that are wildly different than the ones we had hoped for. In today&#39;s episode, we will reflect on this year so far and see if we are truly creating a life that we will be proud of.

He touches on the struggles of men in today's society by highlighting the rampant moral relativism that has caused seismic alterations in our understanding of marriage and gender. Join us as we dive deep into the trenches of this spiritual battlefield and discuss the critical role of men in both marriage and the priesthood. From the historical patterns of men rising to serve, protect, and defend, to the modern-day rise of Satanism and occultism, our conversation with Deacon Harold is eye-opening. As we navigate through this spiritual warfare, we focus on the power of prayer, and how it serves as an essential armor against the forces of evil. We discuss the common excuses men give for not praying and provide solutions to overcome these hurdles. We wrap up the conversation by emphasizing the importance of brotherhood and fraternity. We underline how strong Catholic men joining hands can lead the way through these tough times. We also dive into the significance of the Lord's Prayer and its role in sparking the fire within our hearts. As we conclude, we remind you that each one of us has a role to play in this spiritual warfare – to step out and be a saint. Join us in this enlightening episode and let's journey together towards a stronger faith. Like what you heard? Maybe you just enjoy reading James’s show notes?

Ep 93 - Combatting the Roaring Lion: A Conversation with Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers

Ryan and James discuss on this episode the Synod on Synodality listening sessions, specifically here at St. Roberts in Ada. According to the USCCB website, the Synod on Synodality: <ul><li>The Synod on Synodality is a two-year process of listening and dialogue beginning with a solemn opening in Rome on October 9 and 10, 2021 with each individual diocese and church celebrating the following week on October 17. The synodal process will conclude in 2023. Pope Francis invites the entire Church to reflect on a theme that is decisive for its life and mission: “It is precisely this path of synodality which God expects of the Church of the third millennium.” This journey, which follows in the wake of the Church’s “renewal” proposed by the Second Vatican Council, is both a gift and a task: by journeying together and reflecting together on the journey that has been made, the Church will be able to learn through Her experience which processes can help Her to live communion, to achieve participation, to open Herself to mission.</li></ul>In short, the Church is inviting lay people to give their input on how the Church can improve in various aspects. In this episode, Ryan and James specifically talk about the topics relating to listening and dialogue in the Church and society and engaging more families. Remember men, our priests, bishops, and the Pope have to answer to Christ, not us.  James' Challenge: Pray specifically for the Holy Spirit to come and guide you every day this week.

Revealing the FACE of God | Fr. Andrew Dalton | Episode #082

Men, ever feel crushed under the weight of chasing more? More money. More stuff, more status? In Day 19 (I know I said 9) of our Lenten Reflections series, we’re tackling St. Joseph as the "Lover of Poverty;" a guy who didn’t just survive with less but thrived in it, guarding the Savior with a hammer and a heart full of trust. This isn’t about hating wealth or going broke; it’s about stripping life down to what counts and letting God fill the gaps. We’ll dive into how Joseph’s simple carpenter life in Nazareth, his flight to Egypt with just the Magi’s gifts, and his offering of two doves at the temple scream reliance on divine providence. Father Calloway calls him dirt-poor, yet St. Francis de Sales saw angels marveling at his humility. Today’s challenge: scan your life, your ambitions, your toys, that extra shift, and pinpoint one thing tying you down. Can you cut it? Sell it? Surrender it to God’s will? Hit play to see how Joseph’s joyful poverty can free you from the grind and refocus you on what lasts.Powerful Quotes<ol><li>"The lover of poverty isn’t about hating stuff or being broke. It’s about loving a life stripped down to what matters, trusting God for the rest."  </li><li>"Joseph shows that loving things less can mean living more for the things that truly matter—free from the grind of riches and what can’t be bought."  </li><li>"What’s keeping you and preventing you from embracing God’s will in your life, from following him? Can you ruthlessly eliminate it?"</li></ol>Surrender one attachment today. Look at what’s clogging your soul—be it a gadget or a goal—and hand it to God; true wealth lies in what rust can’t touch.<a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Day 19 - Why St. Joseph Loved Having Less (And You Can Too)

Why are young men returning to faith in record numbers? In this powerful conversation with Dr. George Weigel, we uncover the surprising reasons behind this growing movement. From the dark pull of internet isolation to the magnetic draw of traditional liturgy, beauty, and real brotherhood, we explore the challenges&mdash;and the hope&mdash;facing a new generation. What if the loneliness epidemic could be cured not with content, but with community? What if the secret to evangelization isn&rsquo;t strategy, but presence?
Packed with insights on reaching men through beauty, liturgy, and one-on-one time, this episode offers a blueprint for building a faith that speaks to modern masculinity. You&rsquo;ll hear stories of parish renewal, movements that are working, and why real friendships rooted in Christ are changing lives. Whether you're a leader, a father, or just someone who cares, this is a call to invite young men into the light.

How To Know When To Cut People From Your Life | Ep 277

Fr. Ken Geraci lived the life of the prodigal son for most of his young adult life. Raised in a nominally Catholic family, who only lived the externals of the faith, Fr. Ken left the Catholic Church for many years. During that time, he earned a business degree and worked as a business professional in Advanced R&amp;D and software testing.  During this journey, God presented him with challenges that forced him to question his personal beliefs and the question, “What is Truth?” Through a series of conversions, years of struggle, study, and questioning, Fr. Ken found his way from agnosticism to non-denominational Christianity, and ultimately back to the Catholic Church. Fr. Ken joined the Fathers of Mercy in 2006 and was ordained in 2012. Fr. Ken has a great understanding of the personal and societal pressures that individuals face and knows what it is like to “hate coming to church.” His mission talks are for people of all levels of faith, from those who are madly in love with Jesus to those who struggle with church and religion.In this episode, Fr. Ken shares the history of his order and discusses the current crisis of manhood. The BeatiDudes joke about Fr. Ken’s understated crucifix before inviting him to judge their comedy woes on “Blessed are the Joke Makers.” As we follow Fr. Ken through the journey of his life, we come to learn of his spiritual gift of healing. This show ends with a deep reflection on the process of healing, along with a healing exercise that all are welcome to join. Fair warning, we told you the BeatiDudes was a blend of humor and holiness, prepare for a big dose of both. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a>joinsolidarity.com <a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The Fathers of Mercy:</h2><a href="https://fathersofmercy.com/">Fathers of Mercy Website</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>

Catholic Priest with The GIFT OF HEALING | Fr. Ken Geraci | Episode #013

In today's episode, Bishop Barron fields questions from people all over the world, including: <ul> <li>How do we reconcile love as willing the good of the other with more exclusive love, such as the love between a husband and wife?</li> <li>Some Protestant theologians say that John 6 is not talking about transubstantiation because this dialogue took place before the institution of the Eucharist. What do you think?</li> <li>What does the Catholic Church say about predestination and free will?</li> <li>Why does God need to be worshipped and glorified, and need sacrifices? On human terms, this sounds like his love is conditional and he is insecure.</li> <li>Can dogma be changed or overthrown?</li> <li>Was Jesus a socialist?</li> <li>What are the essential qualities/qualifications needed for evangelism? Degrees or degree program recommendations?</li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bishopbarron">Become a patron</a> and get some great perks for helping, like free books, bonus content, and more.

The faithful are born anew by Baptism, strengthened by the sacrament of Confirmation, and receive in the Eucharist the food of eternal life.  Today Deacon Harold is talking about the sacrament of Baptism as well as diving into part 1 of Psalm 42 in the Soulful Psalms.
