WARNING, this episode contains adult content. 

Few men realize how deeply silence about sex can wound intimacy. It’s not usually selfishness that causes distance, but fear of saying the wrong thing, being rejected, or exposing the ache for connection that runs deeper than words. Over time, unspoken needs harden into resentment, and what was meant to unite begins to divide.

In this episode released from 9 months ago, John Heinen and Devin Schadt open a brutally honest conversation about how to talk with your wife about sex. Not as a demand, but as a path toward healing, holiness, and true partnership. Drawing from Scripture, Catholic wisdom, and personal experience, they reveal how mercy, patience, and honest communication can restore trust and rekindle desire. If you’ve ever wanted deeper unity in your marriage, this is where it begins.

Jesus reveals that those attached to riches are unlikely to enter Heaven.  Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by building the Virtue of Generosity so he can more consistently share his abundance with the poor and by living by the Virtue of Vindication so he can hold himself accountable to God for sins against The 10 Commandments.

Anand Bheemarasetti is a modern missionary, business entrepreneur, media specialist, and community organizer who has dedicated himself to a life of service by following the inspiration of St. Mother Theresa of Calcutta. Anand shares the incredible tale of his journey to America and the little things he had to learn that we often take for granted, starting with his fascination for water fountains at the airport. He goes on to share his struggles at his first hotel, again attempting to find drinking water. Likewise, when Anand takes Americans to India, he enjoys watching the cultural transition in reverse. He shares that smiling at a stranger is a very American thing to do, and when that happens in India, it leads to a swarm of interest from the locals.

Jesus reveals His Divine Identity to the Samaritan woman at the well - Sunday March 8, 2026 - Jn 4:5-42

What if the most important spiritual formation in your child’s life isn’t happening at church—but at your dinner table? Today, John Heinen and Devin Schadt discuss how family dinner has quietly lost its soul—and how fathers must bring it back, not just as a routine, but as a call and obligation. The culture has shaped the dinner table into what we commonly see today on TV. It is failing at its core mission to be a cornerstone of a thriving family.
This isn’t about Pinterest-perfect meals or polite conversation. It’s about forming identity, memory, and virtue in the chaos of real life. John and Devin share how their own families bring structure and meaning to mealtime—from the nightly “Good Thing, Difficult Thing, Random Thing” ritual to coaching kids through cleanup as a form of love and responsibility.

Saints Are Made Around the Dinner Table

This week on Living the Call, Deacon Charlie talks with Martin Doblemeir, president and founder of Journey Films. Since 1984, he has produced and directed more than 30 films focused on religion, faith and spirituality. They explore how belief can lead individuals to extraordinary acts, how spirituality creates and sustains communities and how faith is lived in remarkable ways.&nbsp;In this episode, Deacon Charlie and Martin discuss his most recent documentary film titled Sabbath, which explores the history of one of the world's most important spiritual practices and its timeless relevance for a stressed-out, modern world.<a href="mailto:martin@journeyfilms.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">martin@journeyfilms.com</a>journeyfilms.com/Filmography:&nbsp;	Sabbath	Prophetic Voices	Spiritual Audacity	Revolution of the Heart	Backs Against the Wall	An American Conscience	CHAPLAINS

Martin Doblemeir | Filmmaking & Faith

Without a doubt St. Peter and St. Paul dominate Church history – their names are as synonymous with Christianity as Our Lord’s own name or that of His Blessed Mother.  But how did the two get along and what was their relationship like?  If you were a leader how would you lead a church with someone like St. Paul in it? St. Peter gives us an example of a charismatic leadership – humble and empowering.

DGT Episode 48 - Peter And Paul - St. Peter Part 11

In this week&#39;s episode of Catholic ReCon, testimonies from reverts and converts, guest Aaron Althoff shares a REMARKABLE journey of perseverance, faith, and truth seeking. Aaron unapologetically gets real and raw about the struggles of finding truth, understanding salvation, and allowing evidence and grace to lead the way. In the middle of his often confusing path, Aaron brilliantly said:&quot;I’m not going to put my salvation and the salvation of my family on the line based on some subjective feeling I had.&quot; No, instead he dug and dug and dug for the truth. What he found surprised and humbled him.#Catholic #Protestant #Testimony #Conversion #Faith #Charity #Love #Grace #Bible #Unity #Truth #Augustine #LittleFlower▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

Challenges and Triumphs: A History with Fr. Dom on the Holy Trinity

EP 127 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Dr. Andrews Kubick is bringing us great incites into bioethics through a Catholic lens. Deacon Harold chats more and looks into Soulful Psalm 68

Bioethics

We all know that last year, I released an episode that got a lot more attention than I anticipated. I spent the majority of 2023 having conversations with fellow Catholics and Protestants about nonprofits, capitalism, and self-fundraising missionaries. 
 
I learned a lot from these conversations. I learned from many former or current missionaries. I also learned from the family members and friends (and many former friends) of missionaries. 
 
I heard some stories demonstrating the dark side of some of these models. Like any good system, it has the potential to be abused. 
 
My conversations led to a podcast, which led to me having a private meeting at FOCUS headquarters. This was fitting since they were by far the organization that was most upset by the episode. 
 
Despite invitations to come on the podcast to clear the air, I was never able to have a public conversation with anyone to help bring clarity to this topic. I recorded this episode after another year of waiting, praying, discussions, and negative experiences with *mostly* active FOCUS staff. 
 
The message of this episode is clear: many of us believe there needs to be some reform to the model of self-fundraising used by certain organizations. We may be wrong about that, but it&#39;s what we believe. Non-profits are supposed to thrive on transparency. And that is ultimately what I&#39;m requesting on behalf of the many, many fellow disaffected FOCUS supporters.

Thou Shalt Not Criticize Self-Fundraising: A Message to FOCUS

In this conversation, Nathan Crankfield discusses the financial mindset and practical strategies for making wise financial decisions, particularly in the context of buying a home and a car. He emphasizes the importance of budgeting, living below one&#39;s means, and the balance between conservative and aggressive financial strategies. The conversation also touches on the significance of generosity and long-term planning, encouraging listeners to choose hope and optimism in their financial journeys.

EP 76 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards

Rites of passage are things we know of instinctively. Graduation, weddings, obtaining a driver's license, or your first job are easy things to think of. But, when does a boy become a man? No, getting some peach fuzz when you are in junior high doesn't make you a man.  In Western society, too many boys don't have the male figure to show them what it means to be a man. Sadly, these same boys are reverting to taking their ill-formed consciences into the real world, often resulting in violence and prison time. A rite of passage is more than just a ceremony, it's a change in a male's soul.  Keep listening to part 1 of this (2...3...4?!) part series on Becoming a Man, hear James' own experience in his rite of passage, why this is so important this day and age, and some great resources to explore on your own! James Challenge: Examine your life. What was your rite of passage? How did it change you? What would you have done differently? What did you learn? Now, go out there and be a saint!

Renting vs. Buying: An Authentic Look at the Numbers

We have been taking the past few episodes of the show to discuss each of the great men and women featured in Word on Fire's epic new film series, CATHOLICISM: The Pivotal Players. Today we're focusing on a pivotal player of our own time, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. Globally recognized as Mother Theresa, this diminutive Albanian nun was widely considered the greatest living saint during the latter half of the 20th century. Now, nineteen years after her death, she will be officially canonized, "Saint Teresa of Calcutta" by Pope Francis. In this episode Bishop Barron discusses her life, her faith, and why, according to Fr. Paul Murray, she's a saint who "loved Jesus in the night." Our listener question wonders how it's possible to unite our suffering with Jesus on the cross.

EP 89 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Holy Thursday. The Last Supper. The institution of the Eucharist. And a call to humility. Easter is Sunday. Today, we aredigging into Christ’s radical love with St. Joseph as our guide. Jesus washed His disciples’ feet and gave us His Body and Blood. This isn’t just a story. It’s our daily reality, a taste of heaven in every Mass. Peter balked, but Jesus insisted: service and sacrifice define us.  The Catechism ties this night to the Cross; St. Augustine sees it as cleansing power. It’s Christ’s playbook—humility like Joseph’s, service over status. Your challenge: Live it today. Wash your wife’s and kids’ feet if you’re married—show them love through action. Can’t? Go to Mass, see the altar stripped, feel the weight. Or pray the Litany of Humility. Pick one, do it. Jesus didn’t just act to be nice—He saved us, stayed with us. Are you on His team or the devil’s? No gray area, men—choose.  Products/References Mentioned:  <ul><li>Catechism of the Catholic Church  </li><li>Gaudium et Spes (Second Vatican Council)  </li><li>Council of Trent (1551)  </li><li>St. Augustine’s writings  </li><li>St. Cyril of Jerusalem’s writings  </li><li>St. Thomas Aquinas’s writings  </li><li>Benedict XVI’s reflection  </li><li>Litany of Humility</li></ul>Powerful Quotes:  <ol><li>“Jesus, the master, the maker, the creator, the king of kings, kneels down to wash his disciples’ feet.”  </li><li>“The Eucharist is the gift that surpasses all gifts. A moment where heaven touches earth.”  </li><li>“If you’re not willing to risk everything for God, then who are you willing to risk it at all for?”</li></ol>Key Takeaway: Serve someone today—wash a foot, attend Mass, or pray humbly. Act now to mirror Christ and Joseph’s self-giving love.  <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 38 - Serve Like Christ and St. Joseph

Catholic men today stand in the middle of a spiritual battlefield, and most don’t even realize it. In this episode, I sit down with Devin Schadt, founder of The Fathers of St. Joseph, co-host of The Catholic Gentleman, and author of The Rule: Councils and Directives for Husbands and Fathers. This conversation is a direct call to arms. If you have grown numb, passive, distracted, or uncertain about your mission as a man, this episode will shake you awake.From the opening minutes, Devin drills into the truth most men avoid: fatherhood is the epicenter of the entire moral and spiritual crisis in our culture. As he says clearly, if you get the father, you get the marriage, you get the family, you get the parish, and eventually you begin to win the world for Christ. This is not theory. This is spiritual warfare. And the devil knows it.We break open the wounds men carry, the lies they believe, the gaps in their spiritual lives, and the hunger children have for their father’s gaze. And more importantly, we lay out the path forward. Devin gives practical direction for living St. Joseph’s spirituality, establishing order in the home, blessing your children every night, uniting with your wife as a single spiritual front, and building a “rule of life” that keeps you standing when the spiritual bullets start flying.If you’re tired of drifting, tired of being spiritually numb, tired of watching the culture swallow families whole, press play. Referenced in the episode: • <a href="https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule/?_ef_transaction_id=&amp;oid=777&amp;affid=80" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Rule </a>by Devin Schadt (Sophia Institute Press) • <a href="https://fathersofstjoseph.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Fathers of St. Joseph</a> apostolate • <a href="https://catholicgentleman.com/podcast-listing/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Catholic Gentleman podcast</a> <h1>THREE POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE</h1><ol><li>“Fatherhood is at the epicenter of everything.

Ep 179 - Fatherhood Is the Frontline: A Battle Plan with Devin Schadt

A native of Spain, young Jesuit Peter Claver left his homeland forever in 1610 to be a missionary in the colonies of the New World. He sailed into Cartagena, a rich port city washed by the Caribbean. He was ordained there in 1615. Deacon Harold breaks open more on St. Peter today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 31:20 & 21

EP42 - Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Today we share the second half of Bishop Barron's 2020 address at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, titled "Called Into the Depths." He discussed three sailors from the Bible: the patriarch Noah, the prophet Jonah, and our Savior Jesus Christ. The sea can be thought of as something frightening and terrifying, standing athwart the purposes of God with its unforgiving power and discouraging darkness. However, when we allow ourselves to be swallowed up by the Lord's will, we will find a peace that is sure and unshakable, even in the midst of the worst storms.

WOF 284: Called Into the Depths (Naval Academy Address, Part 2 of 2)

Grace and hope have the power to change everything. Join us in the pew this week to reflect on personal growth, faith, and the everyday choice to be an agent of grace rather than destruction.

When we choose kindness over judgment and presence over indifference, we allow God's love to work through us. Hope isn't just a feeling; it's a truth rooted in Christ's promises that gives strength in every struggle. Through small acts of compassion and encouragement, we can remind others that they're seen, valued, and never alone. Each of us has the chance to be a light in someone's darkness, helping them rediscover purpose, joy, and faith.

Miracles, Answered Prayer and Spiritual Warfare with Ryan Skoog

This is it. The highest form of love—the love that sent Christ to the Cross and the love that will transform you if you let it.We’ve covered storge (affection), philia (friendship), and eros (romantic love), but agape? This is the love that separates boys from men. It’s sacrificial. It’s relentless. It’s the love that doesn’t ask, “What’s in it for me?” but instead, “How can I give more?”In this episode, we dig deep into what agape really is and why it’s the foundation of everything in the Christian life. We break down: ✅ How Christ showed the ultimate act of agape on the Cross ✅ Why agape isn’t a feeling—it’s an act of the will ✅ The Eucharist: The tangible sign of agape love, given to us daily ✅ Practical ways to live agape as a husband, father, priest, or single man ✅ The biggest roadblocks that keep men from loving with agape and how to destroy themWant to be a better husband? A stronger father? A leader in your community? Master agape, and everything else falls into place.Lent is coming—how will you love differently?3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>“The ultimate act of agape is found in Christ’s Passion and death. He didn’t do it because we deserved it—He did it because love demands sacrifice.”</li><li>“Husbands, fathers, act like it. Your primary job is to love your family with agape—not when it’s convenient, not when you feel like it, but always.”</li><li>“You can’t do agape on your own. You need the Eucharist. You need Confession. You need grace. Stop trying to white-knuckle holiness—go to the sacraments.”</li></ol>Love with action, not just words. Agape isn’t about feeling good—it’s about doing good. Whether it’s leading your family in prayer, sacrificing your comfort for the sake of your wife and kids, or speaking truth to a brother in need, real love is lived out.Lent is around the corner.

Ep 157 - Agape: The Love That Will Make You a Saint

You are not living in neutral territory. You are standing on a battlefield.In this opening episode of our Spiritual Warfare series, we confront a truth most Catholic men avoid: the war is real, and you are already in it.Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the testimony of appointed exorcists like Fr. Gabriel Amorth, Fr. Chad Ripperger, Fr. Vincent Lampert, and Dr. Dan Schneider, we strip away the myths and expose how the enemy actually works.Most men do not fall because they openly rebel. They fall because they drift. They stop praying. They stop going to confession. They stop resisting. And into that vacuum, disorder enters.There is no neutral ground in the spiritual life. You are either moving toward God or sliding away from Him.You were not baptized into comfort. You were baptized into Christ’s death and resurrection.

Ep 189 - The War Is Real: Why Passive Catholic Men Are Losing the Battle

What happens when Christianity loses authority? Chaos follows. Families fracture. Men drift. Truth becomes negotiable.In Part Two of this conversation with Father Peter Damian, the discussion moves from personal history into the heart of the crisis facing the modern Church and the modern man. Father Peter continues unpacking his journey from Orthodoxy into the Catholic Church, but the focus sharpens on ecclesial authority, obedience, and why Christ intentionally established a visible Church with a living teaching office. This is not about preference. It is about survival.Drawing from Sacred Scripture, Church history, and lived pastoral experience, Fr. Peter explains why Christianity without a final authority inevitably fractures. He dismantles the illusion of unity without submission, exposes the danger of theological individualism, and shows why men who refuse authority always end up submitting to something else, whether the state, culture, or their own disordered passions.The conversation turns practical and confrontational. Fr. Peter speaks directly to Catholic men about obedience, not as weakness, but as strength. Pride masquerades as independence, but humility is the foundation of authentic masculinity. A man who cannot submit to God-given authority cannot lead his family, protect his home, or remain steady under pressure.James presses the issue further and issues a direct challenge to men who live in half-commitments. You cannot defend the Church while standing outside her walls. You cannot claim Christ while rejecting His Bride. You cannot rebuild a Catholic culture while refusing Catholic discipline.This episode rejects the comfortable lie that faith can be customized. It cannot. The Gospel demands total allegiance. Christ demands obedience. The Church demands fidelity.This is a call to decision.<hr /><h3>Powerful Quotes from the Episode</h3><ol><li>“Unity without authority is an illusion. It cannot last.”</li><li>“A man who rejects obedience will always end up enslaved to something else.”</li><li>“Christ did not leave us a feeling. He left us a Church.”</li></ol><h3>Key Takeaway for Men</h3>Stop negotiating with the faith. Choose obedience. Submit your intellect and your will fully to Christ and His Church. Cut off the habits, media, and influences that train you to resist authority. A disciplined soul is a free soul.<h3>Support &amp; Stay Connected</h3>Please prayerfully 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 and reach as many men as possible.

Ep 186 - Authority or Anarchy: Why Men Must Choose the Church Christ Founded with Fr. Peter

Imagine being woken in the dead of night by an angel, urgency ringing in your ears: "Get up, take your wife and child, and flee—someone’s coming to kill your son." That’s the reality Saint Joseph faced. As we journey through Lent with Saint Joseph, this episode dives deep into his title "Joseph Most Strong"—a man whose strength wasn’t just in his carpenter’s hands but in his unshakable resolve to protect his family and trust God when the world turned dark. This isn’t a dusty saint story; it’s a raw, human look at what real strength means for us men today—and how we can live it out.I’ll walk you through Joseph’s life—his response to Mary’s pregnancy, his midnight trek to a hostile land—and ask: What would you do? When fear hits—flee, fight, freeze, or fawn—where do you land? Joseph didn’t panic; he moved. And that’s our cue. Today, strength might mean standing up for truth when the room’s against you or pushing past exhaustion for your family. It’s not about never feeling scared—it’s about leaning on God and acting anyway.Here’s your challenge, men: hit the gym today. Not for vanity, but because your body’s a gift from God, a temple of the Holy Spirit. No more "dad bod" excuses—I’ve got four kids and sleep deprivation too, but we’re called to be warriors for Christ. Lift something, sweat, take care of what He gave you. Pair that with a moment of prayer, asking Joseph to guide you into his kind of strength—physical and spiritual. This episode isn’t just talk; it’s a call to do. Push play, reflect, and step up.Products and References Mentioned<ul><li>Buy Me a Coffee Page: Support the podcast financially at <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/TMC" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">buymeacoffee.com/TMC</a>.</li><li>Social Media: Follow The Manly Catholic on X (Twitter) for updates.</li><li>Email: Reach out at themanlycatholic@gmail.com.</li><li>YouTube: Subscribe to the channel for video content.</li><li>Scripture Reference: Psalm 27:14 – "Wait for the Lord, be strong and let your heart take courage."</li></ul>3 Powerful Quotes<ol><li>"Strength isn’t just about lifting heavy loads...

Day 15 - Joseph Most Strong: Unleashing True Courage in Crisis

The vast and growing influence of AI in our culture is undeniable. Deacon Harold breaks down what A.I. is and isn't and how the church should respond. Also Looking at Soulful Psalm 31:1-9.

Artificial Intelligence and the Church

Sacred artist and stained-glass master Aaron Frei joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for a wide-ranging conversation that blends theology, art, discernment, and plenty of classic BeatiDudes banter. Aaron shares his journey from studying theology at the University of Dallas to discerning monastic life with the Hungarian Cistercians, and ultimately returning to serve the Church through sacred art.
The conversation explores why stained glass is uniquely powerful as an art form, relying on transmitted light rather than reflected light, and how imperfection allows beauty to shine more fully. Aaron offers rich spiritual metaphors drawn from his craft, connecting brokenness, reconciliation, and God’s grace with the way light passes through glass.
Aaron also opens up about leaving the monastery, wrestling honestly with the desire for family life, and discovering that discernment is not failure but fidelity. His story includes mentoring young artists, helping churches articulate sacred beauty, and even meeting his wife through a mosaic project that never came to be, proving that God still works through cancelled plans.
The episode wraps with humor, call-backs, and a challenge to listeners to be digital missionaries who do not stop at content but go to Mass, pray, and encounter Christ in the poor.
Key Themes and Takeaways
*Why stained glass depends on transmitted light and why imperfection increases beauty
*Discernment as dating rather than a one-time irreversible decision
*Learning holiness from community life, not just intellectual brilliance
*How God uses brokenness to let His light shine more clearly
*Sacred art as service to the Church, not personal expression alone

Discernment, Love, & Contentious Donkey Talk | Aaron Frei | Episode #298

Keep the sabbath holy. We know it’s a commandment which means that it’s non-negotiable. But how seriously do we take this commandment? Deep down, do we consider this to be more of an optional commandment?On today’s episode we get real about the importance of the sabbath and what it really means to keep it holy. We discuss cultural differences, childhood memories and how early experiences shaped our behaviour. We also talk about the different forms that “rest” can take on the sabbath along wit...

Ep 101 - Last Minute Christmas Gift with Gerard Morales

Just recently, Catholics were devastated to learn of another case of sexual abuse, this time involving Jean Vanier, the esteemed founder of L'Arche and a man once considered to be a living saint. Vanier, who passed away last year, was accused of sexually assaulting six women in France, using his religious position to abuse and manipulate them. How do we make sense of all this? How can a man who produced enormous good fruit fail so abysmally? And how should Catholics respond to this sort of abuse, and prevent it from happening again? Bishop Barron offers advice on all these questions and more. A listener asks how energetic young people, passionate about apologetics and evangelization, can take their study to the next level.

Saint Clare is regarded as one of the great medieval contemplatives, committed to serving her community with great joy by closely following Franciscan ideals. Through her witness and example, may we embrace a noble simplicity in the way we live, focusing on the moral decisions, values, and choices that will get us to heaven.  Deacon Harold opens up more about this Saint today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm119:KOPH, 149

EP 144 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

There are many sources of skepticism about God's unconditional love. We live in a society of Murphy's Law, where people presume that all good news is simply too good to be true. While the existence of God and the soul are challenging enough to a habitually skeptical culture, add the concept of "love" and the skepticism intensifies. But people who recognize the scientific or philosophical evidence for the existence of a Creator, Father Spitzer draws a necessary connection between an intelligent Creator and a loving God
The choice and the goal both lie before us. God calls us to a relationship of unconditional love, a transcendent destiny of eternal life, but we are free to choose. We must contend with human and spiritual evil, but through prayer we can draw strength from God. Are you ready to put your faith and trust totally in him?
