Why a Bible-Believing Protestant Became an On-Fire Catholic

Edmund Mitchell joins The BeatiDudes for a wild ride covering everything from hot honey to the Catechism. Edmund’s career includes a unique blend of creative work, a wide array of ministry experience, and a passion for the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The show starts with a reflection on Jeff Schiefelbein’s “big timing” approach to new friendships, including how he first met Edmund, Paul, and Nick. Edmund is the co-founder of Real + True, an extensive platform that explains the Catechism using a creative approach to each of the document’s four-part framework – the Creed, sacraments, morality, and prayer. The work of Real + True makes the teachings of the church accessible and enjoyable. Check out the <a href="https://realtrue.org/videos/the-power-of-call-response-in-music/">Real + True episode on Call and Response</a> here.In this episode’s Blessed are the Joke Makers, the guys take on the persona of a Funeral Home Director to address the prompt, “When Jesus comes again, he will talk about _____ first.” Edmund proceeds to answer this improv question with a one-act play you won’t want to miss. As the Dudes head into the commercial break, Edmund catches everyone off-guard with his new love of hot honey. Have you ever heard of Manuka? You are about to learn more about niche honey production than you could have ever predicted. The BeatiDudes (TBD) Question leads to great introspection: What is something you learned in the past year that is important?And, as always, the Dudes finish the long episode with a new Reverse Simpsons as Jeff facilitates a quiz competition between Paul, Edmund, and Nick. Who do you think will win? <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 Edmund and his work:</h2><a href="https://realtrue.org/">Real + True</a><a href="https://bummerlazarus.co/">Bummer + Lazarus</a><a href="http://edmundmitchell.com/">Edmund Mitchell</a><a href="https://www.osv.com/">OSV </a>- Producers of Real + True<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>

From the world’s chaos to the Easter candle’s light, Fr. Dom unpacks the liturgy’s power and challenges you to live the resurrection daily. This year, thousands of new Catholics are being baptized or entering the Catholic Church. Fr. Dom calls you to be Christ’s warriors: to love fiercely, proclaim boldly, and lead others to God’s house. Powerful Quotes from the Homily:  <ol><li>“Not even death itself. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? Nowhere.”  </li><li>“Jesus the Christ, defeating death. What a great warrior. He’s not some soft pacifist. He’s going to war.”  </li><li>“Bring them out of the darkness. All of us are called to do that.”</li></ol>Key Takeaway for Men:  Live the resurrection daily by loving those closest to you with fierce devotion and boldly proclaiming Christ, drawing others from the world’s chaos into God’s house. <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!

Friends, in today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," we share Lecture 1 from Peter Kreeft's new 12-part video series on <a href="https://wordonfire.org/philosophy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">"Socrates' Children: The Great Debates of Philosophy."</a> In this lecture series, Dr. Peter Kreeft examines key ideas in philosophy by comparing and contrasting two representative philosophers in each lecture. The first lecture compares the father of philosophy, Socrates, with the Sophists, whose philosophy is marked more by cleverness and emotion rather than by wisdom and truth. This video series is being released alongside Word on Fire's new book series by Kreeft, titled <a href= "https://wordonfire.org/philosophy?_ga=2.128706956.1681425296.1677787164-1034457484.1641079730&_gl=1*15ctd40*_ga*MTAzNDQ1NzQ4NC4xNjQxMDc5NzMw*_ga_4081DYV3TL*MTY3Nzc4OTE1MS40OTMuMS4xNjc3NzkwNzM2LjQ4LjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Socrates' Children: An Introduction to Philosophy from the 100 Greatest Philosophers</a>.

How should we respond when the culture becomes inhospitable if not actively hostile to Christian values? Sadly, biblical and natural law points of view are unwelcome now in many of the institutions that constitute the core of our society, including corporations, public schools, higher education, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, the legacy media, and even government entities themselves. What can Christians do to resist persecution by these secular powerhouses? How can we understand what it means to resist those who undermine Christians in light of Christ's command to love our enemies?

Bread from Heaven

How does a man rise to the top&mdash;only to feel completely empty? In this powerful true story, Bill Moyer, a leadership coach and president of the Catholic Men's Leadership Alliance, shares the moment that changed everything: a midnight conversation with a homeless man on the streets of Austin. At the height of his career, after winning a world-class award, Bill was haunted by the hollowness of success and the wounds of a broken past. But when a stranger told him, &ldquo;You&rsquo;re never going to be happy until you go home,&rdquo; Bill began a journey of radical transformation&mdash;back to faith, back to family, and back to the man he was called to be. This story is about what real heroism looks like: forgiveness, humility, and saying yes to God. If you&rsquo;ve ever chased success only to feel lost, this episode will walk you home.

Episode 4: Redemptive Suffering, The Seventh and Eighth Stations

In this fourth episode, Jon Leonetti breaks down the Seventh and Eighth Stations of the Cross. Jon connects our suffering with Christ's suffering and introduces the theme of Redemptive Suffering. As you watch this video reflect on the following questions.

Reflection Questions
1. What are the moments in your life that you have struggled with, When have you fallen?

2. What crosses are you currently carrying? Are there any crosses in your life that you are avoiding, that you have delayed in picking up?

3. Jesus redirects the sorrow of the women away from him and towards themselves and their children. He was able to endure His suffering because He knew He would be redeemed and we would be redeemed. How do you overcome suffering? Do you trust God to redeem your suffering?
