St. Gregory The Great lived a very long time ago but his words remain important for us today.  Even though he was a Pope and a Bishop he was first and foremost a leader.  His book, “On The Rule Of Shepherds” is a hallmark on leadership from the middle ages to today.  Looking at this book can give us insights into what Christ asks for those that follow Him by leading others.

DGT Episode 134 - St. Gregory The Great - Of Leading And Shepherds

Season 5 Episode 4: Saintly Friendship From A Former Saint with Guest Danny Abramowicz

A Blessed Holy Week to you. Join John and Victor as we conclude the Lenten journey with the 7th Deadly Sin: Pride, the root of all sin. "In that sin man preferred himself to God...He chose himself over and against God, against the requirements of his creaturely status and therefore against his own good" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 398). How do we return to God? Humility. "Humility is truth or the recognition of gifts as gifts, faults as faults. Humility is dependence on God, as pride is independence of Him" (Archbishop Fulton Sheen). This is the way. This is the remedy. 

Scripture passages to pray with:
- Proverbs 11:2
-James 4:6
-Philippians 2:3
-John 15:5

In this episode: 
-"Pride is an inordinate love of one's own excellence, either of body or mind or the unlawful pleasure we derive from thinking we have no superiors." ~Archbishop Fulton Sheen
-The key to offset pride is humility and surrender to God

Lenten Series - Your Whole Heart Pt. 7  Pride

This Corpus Christi Sunday, we reflect on the history of God's relationship with us. From the Passover through to the Resurrection, Christ shows us how he lays down his body for us, you and me. And he laid it down even before anyone took it from him. We are wounded sinners, blessed by the body of the Son of God. Join Mike in his reflections on the final covenant between God and Creation. This week on the Heroic Word, Mike Donovan, a Heroic Leadership Coach from New York, shares his reflections on the Scripture readings for this Sunday. Join us in the <a href="https://heroicmen.circle.so/c/heroic-word/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Heroic Word</a> group in the Heroic Brotherhood!

Also, please consider supporting me on Patreon so I can keep doing all this amazing work --&gt; <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> Three cool things we want to do are: 1. Bring Fr. Gregory Pine on PWA twice a month. 2. Create a PWA app. 3. Record 2 episodes of the MFS every month! Here are the objections I address: 1. Who created God? 2. You’re only a Christian because you were raised one. 3. Flying spaghetti monster / God of the gaps. 4. I don’t have an onus of proof. 5. Science can’t demonstrate God’s existence. 6. Can God create a rock so heavy that he can’t lift it. 7. Christians are hypocrites. 8. Maybe there’s a first cause but that doesn’t prove christianity. 9. The Bible is filled with contradictions. 10.

Relationships are vitally important to our lives as men. After all, Christ told us to love our neighbor as ourselves. Yet, if we are being honest, when people are working against us, constantly rubbing us the wrong way, or are outright enemies, it can be confusing to understand how this love takes shape. Today, we dive into a conversation about how to handle toxic people in our lives. Whether they are friends or even family, the guidelines we discuss today will help you cultivate the best relationships possible. We explore 3 levels of separation between you and other people, as well as 4 reasons why you might not be on the same page as the relationships that have developed in your life.✅ If you have any questions that we can answer on the show, please, send your questions to us at podcast@catholicgentleman.com.

Perceptions & Reality with Fr. Nesbit from Clear Creek Abbey

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss perseverance as the key to living truth.

Perseverance

Whatever format it’s found in, teamwork has always played an essential role in getting anything done.  It’s so important in fact that much of contemporary literature around leadership focuses on a leader’s ability to generate and maintain healthy teams.  But isn’t the notion of a team something that is essential to the Christian religion?  And if so shouldn’t Christianity offer a special advantage to a Christian leader?  In this tenth episode of our series on the Christian advantage in leadership I take a look at this question.

DGT Episode 278 - A Different Kind Of Team - The Christian Leader's Advantage Part 10

Let’s face it, work is hard, and a lot of people would prefer not to work if they didn’t have to.  What would a world look like where people no longer worked?  People no longer owned things?  Wouldn’t it be better or in fact could it be really worse?  Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical Rerum Novarum explores this asking the question about the link between work and dignity.  It becomes a practical question for each one of us.

Saul holds a bachelor’s in Family Sciences from the John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family Studies in Guadalajara and is a Certified Life Coach from the Life Coach Training Institute. Saul’s work at Freedom Coaching provides one-to-one mentoring aimed at helping those with an attraction and compulsion to pornography, with the goal of reclaiming a healthy vision of the body and of sexuality.In this episode, Deacon and Saul discuss how people fall into a pornographic lifestyle and the ways in which wounds play a role in that. They also talk about the trauma porn causes and how men and women are affected differently. Saul shares his experience of leading clients on the healing journey of freedom from this compulsion through a “redeemed vision” of the human body.

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, Sam and John have an intriguing conversation about extraterrestrial intelligence (aliens) and what the Catholic Church has to say about them! We are joined by Dr. Paul Thigpen to discuss what saints and philosophers have argued about for centuries, as well as what it means to us as baptized Catholic men. When placing the possibility of alien existence against the Catholic faith, we enjoy learning and deepening our faith on truths such as human beings created in the Image of God, the fallen nature of man, and our relationship to God's universe.

Aliens and the Catholic Church

The work of St. Thomas Aquinas remains at the center of Catholic tradition.  In his many writings Thomas treats of leadership in many different ways.  But nowhere is his treatment as concise or condensed as in his letter to the King of Cyprus in his book De Regno.  I’d like to continue lessons that I’ve given on this book about leadership.  This is lesson number two on Leaders of the Common Good.

122: Aquinas' 4th proof for God's existence, with Karlo Broussard

Bishop Barron was recently invited to speak at the Google headquarters (aka the Googleplex) in Mountain View, CA. He addressed a room full of Google and YouTube employees on how religion doesn't shut down the questing intellect, but in fact opens up our minds, causing us to seek the fulfillment of our deepest longings. We shared <a href= "http://wordonfireshow.com/episode129/">the first half of his talk</a> in last week's episode. Today we listen to the second half along with the post-talk Q&A with Google/YouTube employees.

The Scourging takes place within the context of Jesus’ trial. In and out of the praetorium, however, Pilate is the one in the midst of the real trial between the truth that resides inside and the demands of the world outside.

Forgive Like Christ | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

For spiritual life has a certain conformity with the life of the body: just as other corporeal things have a certain likeness to things spiritual. Now a man attains perfection in the corporeal life in two ways: first, in regard to his own person; secondly, in regard to the whole community of the society in which he lives, for man is by nature a social animal. With regard to himself man is perfected in the life of the body, in two ways; first, directly [per se], i.e. by acquiring some vital perfection; secondly, indirectly [per accidens], i.e. by the removal of hindrances to life, such as ailments, or the like. Now the life of the body is perfected "directly," in three ways. First, by generation whereby a man begins to be and to live: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Baptism, which is a spiritual regeneration, according to Titus 3:5: "By the laver of regeneration," etc. Secondly, by growth whereby a man is brought to perfect size and strength: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Confirmation, in which the Holy Ghost is given to strengthen us. Wherefore the disciples who were already baptized were bidden thus: "Stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high" (Lk. 24:49). Thirdly, by nourishment, whereby life and strength are preserved to man; and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the Eucharist. Wherefore it is said (Jn. 6:54): "Except you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you shall not have life in you." And this would be enough for man if he had an impassible life, both corporally and spiritually; but since man is liable at times to both corporal and spiritual infirmity, i.e. sin, hence man needs a cure from his infirmity; which cure is twofold. one is the healing, that restores health: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Penance, according to Ps. 40:5: "Heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee." The other is the restoration of former vigor by means of suitable diet and exercise: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Extreme Unction, which removes the remainder of sin, and prepares man for final glory. Wherefore it is written (James 5:15): "And if he be in sins they shall be forgiven him." In regard to the whole community, man is perfected in two ways. First, by receiving power to rule the community and to exercise public acts: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the sacrament of order, according to the saying of Heb. 7:27, that priests offer sacrifices not for themselves only, but also for the people. Secondly in regard to natural propagation. This is accomplished by Matrimony both in the corporal and in the spiritual life: since it is not only a sacrament but also a function of nature. We may likewise gather the number of the sacraments from their being instituted as a remedy against the defect caused by sin. For Baptism is intended as a remedy against the absence of spiritual life; Confirmation, against the infirmity of soul found in those of recent birth; the Eucharist, against the soul's proneness to sin; Penance, against actual sin committed after baptism; Extreme Unction, against the remainders of sins---of those sins, namely, which are not sufficiently removed by Penance, whether through negligence or through ignorance; order, against divisions in the community; Matrimony, as a remedy against concupiscence in the individual, and against the decrease in numbers that results from death. Some, again, gather the number of sacraments from a certain adaptation to the virtues and to the defects and penal effects resulting from sin. They say that Baptism corresponds to Faith, and is ordained as a remedy against original sin; Extreme Unction, to Hope, being ordained against venial sin; the Eucharist, to Charity, being ordained against the penal effect which is malice. order, to Prudence, being ordained against ignorance; Penance to Justice, being ordained against mortal sin; Matrimony, to Temperance, being ordained against concupiscence; Confirmation, to Fortitude, being ordained against infirmity.  ST 3.

7 Habits for a Holy Family with Dr. John Bergsma

Kyle Washut, president of Wyoming Catholic College, joins the bonus show to discuss the trials and triumphs of family life. He and his wife Erin are happily raising their six kids, ranging from high school to one year old. Kyle attributes all family triumphs to the work of our Lord and recognizes that we are not the responsible party for all the goodness that comes from our kids.He recounts the harrowing tale of their fifth baby, Macrina, and the scare that occurred when his wife went into labor at 19 weeks pregnant. Needing a higher order of medical care to stop the hemorrhaging, Erin and Kyle had to be transported to a major hospital in Denver by plane. When they left the kids behind, they feared that Erin might not survive, and they were told that the baby would certainly not make it. The doctors encouraged the couple to perform a “procedure,” which was a euphemism for an abortion. Kyle knew at this moment they were facing a medical community that was not on the same page as the family, and the couple would need to rearrange their entire lives to prevent the ongoing pressure to abort.Kyle couldn’t return to Wyoming Catholic College, where he was serving as a dean and a professor, while his wife and unborn baby needed him in Denver. As Erin remained pregnant for ten more weeks in the hospital, the entire college met and decided to reorganize the schedules and plans of EVERYONE—all staff, students, and faculty—to accommodate the family's needs in supporting this birth. Baby Macrina is now a thriving five-year-old girl. This story is the greatest commercial anyone could ever imagine for how community is formed in special places like Wyoming Catholic College.

Everyone Worships Something

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.

Miracles and Saints with Msgr. Robert Sarno

We are called to radical conversion, not some lukewarm, complacent Catholicism, but an on fire passionate existence in pursuit of life everlasting. Christ declared, "And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.” What did he mean by this text, and how often do men use their family as an excuse to avoid not fully committing to Him? We are going to go into this reality as well as offer 5 challenges and the enemies to those challenges, to help you live the best Lent ever.BOOK: Jesus' Way: The 46-Day Lenten Journey - <a href="https://shop.stewardshipmission.com/products/jesus-way">Click Here</a>Support the New Studio - <a href="https://catholicgentleman.com/support">Click Here</a>🔵 Holy Habits Exclusive Discount - <a href="https://holyhabits.app/gentleman/">Click Here</a>SPECIAL GIFT FOR LENT: Watch the extended addition, all 1 h 26 mins of episode 196 on Catholic Gentleman Plus, where we go through all of the objections and excuses that men continually come up with: https://catholicgentlemanplus.comQUESTION OF THE WEEK: We love to answer your questions on the show so send them our way to <a href="mailto:podcast@catholicgentleman.com">podcast@catholicgentleman.com</a>.Check out the Fathers of St. Joseph - https://fathersofstjoseph.org/CATHOLIC GENTLEMAN PLUS (ENTERTAINMENT SESSION JUST LANDED)🔴 Enjoy more then 20 unique sessions for men, access exclusive weekly content, ebooks, guest series, and our live Q and A at Catholic Gentleman Plus: <a href="https://catholicgentlemanplus.com/">https://catholicgentlemanplus.com</a>Help Support the Catholic Gentleman by either signing up for CG+ https://catholicgentlemanplus.com or https://catholicgentleman.com/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Give Up Your Family This Lent

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob brave the frozen tundra of The Rink at Franciscan Square as they do their first (and maybe last) outdoor episode!  They discuss the NFL playoff picture, do a deep dive on what the Vatican said about blessing same-sex couples, and conclude with a reflection on Christmas.

A leader could have the best strategy in the world but if he’s unable to make a choice on how to implement it his strategy will be meaningless.  And yet is precisely here that many of us struggle.  Making a choice seems irrevocable and sometimes choosing one way in preference to another seems like closing the door on perfectly good opportunities.  But then again not choosing is also a choice and it’s a choice that won’t bring us to where we need to go.  How does our faith in God help us with this dilemma?   How does it help us to be leaders who decide?

Maria Vargo | Role of a Lifetime

The story of Wilbur and Oliver Wright has captivated our hearts for more than a century.  In their lives we see an example of innovation being the first in flight and proving the impossible can be done.  But their story is more than just daring.  It involved a lot of planning and strategy and their ability to make good decisions.  St. Thomas Aquinas concurs.  Great leadership begins with great dreams but great dreams need great strategy for execution.
