In the lead-up to Super Bowl Sunday, we talk about domestic violence. Plus, in the wake of cheating being a hot topic in MLB news lately, we cover that as well. In addition, there's a discussion on "participation trophies" and playing time. Plus, there's practical advice for listeners to take away. All this and more from a professional and spiritual perspective via the Clinical Psychologist at Saint Paul VI Institute in Omaha, Nebraska, where part of her work includes meeting with priests, religious, and lay men & women who are seeking faith-based counseling. With a sports background herself, she also works with seminarians attending the Institute for Priestly Formation and conducts psychological evaluations for individuals interested in entering seminary, the deaconate, or religious communities. She is a member of both the Catholic Psychotherapy Association and the Catholic Medical Association.

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father Today we observe the first Sunday in Lent and hear how Jesus remains overwhelmingly powerful, even after a 40-day fast, and crushes Satan’s futile attempts to corrupt Him in the Temptation.  We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to grow in the Virtue of Temperance so he can conquer media gluttony and avoid the near occasion of sin.  We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to build the Virtue of Studiousness so he can conquer ideal curiosity and Satan’s temptations by studying the Bible.

Episode 21 - Jesus battles and conquers Satan in the Temptation - Lenten Daily Gospel Bible Study - Sunday February 26, 2023 -  Mt 4:1-11

We all know that Christianity is a religion of peace.  We long for that peace and we long to bring that peace to the world.  What then could Our Lords have meant when he spoke in Matthew 10:25 of His mission to bring a sword?  What does that mean for you and I in our own Christian lives?  How is it that our leadership brings both peace and a sword?

He has worked tirelessly since 1979 to fight coercive population control programs and has helped hundreds of thousands of women and families worldwide over the years.
 
In 1979, Steven was the first American social scientist to visit mainland China. He was invited there by the Chinese government, where he had access to government documents and actually witnessed women being forced to have abortions under the new “one-child policy.” Mr. Mosher was a pro-choice atheist at the time, but witnessing these traumatic abortions led him to reconsider his convictions and to eventually become a practicing, pro-life Roman Catholic.
 
Steven has appeared numerous times before Congress as an expert in world population, China, and human rights abuses. He has also made TV appearances on Fox News, Good Morning America, 60 Minutes, The Today Show, 20/20, and CNN news, as well as being a regular guest on talk radio shows across the nation.

WOF 050: 3 Lessons for Young Catholics

“The existence of the spiritual, non-corporeal beings that Sacred Scripture usually calls “angels” is a truth of faith. St. Augustine says: “‘Angel’ is the name of their office, not of their nature. Deacon Harold opens up the conversation today and also looking into Soulful Psalm 91:10-16.

Angels

Let’s be real: Following God is hard. Even after we have decided to commit our lives to Jesus, we often find ourselves going back to the things that enslave us.

We can’t keep doing that; God wants to forgive us and free us of our sins, but we have to be willing to leave it all behind. It’s not just a question of wanting it; it’s a question of our willingness to fight our past.

In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why we need to abandon everything from our past life to follow the Lord.
- What we can learn from Scripture about making our conversion authentic.
- How to stay committed to the changes in our life.
- And more!

Blessing Gay Couples? What Does it Mean? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

All of us are engaged in business.  What difference does faith make?  How is it that my faith in Jesus Christ and His teachings will really impact my life as a professional in this world?  Do the two intersect?  Pope Francis thinks that they do.  I’d like to look at the difference that it makes for someone to know Jesus Christ from the heart.

Sin brings in its wake a barrage of emotional consequences and external damages. If the sin has long-term effects, we can feel substantial guilt and often shame for our failings and selfishness. This same thing can happen if the sin is habitual or uniquely toxic. How do you heal from shame, overcome guilt, and rightly order your life to avoid despair and frustration? Today, we discuss how men either become weak or foolishly arrogant in response to the shame they experience. We want to make sure you understand the difference between guilt and shame, the benefits they can bring to your life, as well as tactics to consistently move forward.✅ We love to answer questions on the show.

77. 10 Books by or about Aquinas you need to read

The BeatiDudes proudly welcome Jonathan J. Sanford, Ph.D., the 10th president of the University of Dallas. Dr. Sanford, who previously served as provost and dean of UD’s Constantin College of Liberal Arts and holds a doctorate in philosophy, is a noted scholar in virtue ethics. Dr. Sanford has published widely on philosophical figures and topics, especially in foundational questions in moral philosophy, as evidenced in “Before Virtue: Assessing Contemporary Virtue Ethics” (The Catholic University of America Press 2015). As provost, Dr. Sanford oversaw the development of a university-wide strategic plan, and as president, he is focused on leading its implementation by building on the university’s reputation for academic rigor, its commitment to classical Western tradition, and its faithful Catholic identity.During this episode, Dr. Sanford provides deep insight into the approach to formation and education philosophies of the University of Dallas. He calls upon several key teachings, including St. Pope John Paul II’s “Ex Corde Ecclesiae” and St. John Henry Cardinal Newman’s “The Idea of a University.” Then on “Blessed are the Joke Makers,” the Dudes square off to finish the statement, “Lord, I need [blank]” as a drill sergeant. The second half of the show explores Dr. Sanford’s education and career journey. We learn more about the mentors, saints, and materials that formed Dr. Sanford’s love for philosophy and teaching. Dr. Sanford penned several books along the way and then received a call to join the University of Dallas and grew to quickly love the University in a special way. This episode’s TBD Question (The BeatiDudes Question) asks which educator(s) left a big impression on your life. And finally, the Dudes finish with a fun Reverse Simpsons called “Just Ask JJ” during which Dr. Sanford has to answer three questions and attempt to get the same answer that his wife gave before the show. Will he get them all? Or perhaps none? Watch and see. <h2>Books by Jonathan J.

How a Simple Sign Led a Catholic Christian Back to Church

Robert Tunmire from Heroic Men is back for a bonus episode about ensuring we get up each day and put in our 10% to match the 90% that comes through the Holy Spirit. Joining forces with Tim Grey and the Augustine Institute team, Robert helped launch an incredible ministry to men resource called <a href="https://www.heroicmen.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Heroic Men</a>. Robert explains why they use the term “ministry to men” rather than “men’s ministry” to avoid the possessive and inclusive nature of a “men’s ministry.” To finish the show, Robert and the Dudes pray the Catholic Men’s Leadership Alliance Prayer.*********Robert has more than 44 years of experience in the franchising industry and is widely known for his ability to grow companies. He served as Executive Vice President of Neighborly (formerly The Dwyer Group) from 1998 to 2019. For seven years, he was the President of Glass Doctor, a 30-year-old company. He also served as President and CEO of Neighborly/The Dwyer Group and President of Mr. Rooter Corporation, one of Neighborly’s companies. In 1975, as a very young man, he opened his first franchise for Rainbow International Carpet Dyeing &amp; Cleaning, a Neighborly company. After buying and selling four franchises, all for a handsome profit, he joined the home office in 1982. He began working for Rainbow International, which was to become Neighborly's flagship company. Until his retirement, Robert led the Franchise Development team in recruiting all new franchisees across the brands at Neighborly. He also took an active role in training new franchisees and had a gift for building long-term relationships with franchisees. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Undivided Life</a> <h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a> BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Pencil Bureau</a>

Leadership is a challenge for all of us for many reasons but almost every leader complains of being distracted.  Not being able to focus on what they have to do and sometimes being overwhelmed by the sheer complexity of the problems before them.  You might be interested to know that the same complaint was shared by a pope, Pope St. Gregory The Great.  In his book, “On The Rule Of Shepherds” he writes about this and about how to overcome it by the grace of God.

Philosophy of Humor

In the ascent towards holiness and happiness, a Catholic man must build the good habits (Virtue, from the Latin, vir, meaning “manliness, moral strength, goodness, valor”) of the moral life and break the bad habits (Vice, from the Latin, vitium, meaning “defect, offense, blemish, imperfection”) which cause him to fall into sin and risk losing his salvation. The Church provides a comprehensive list of Virtues which fall into two major categories: Theological Virtues (Supernatural) and Cardinal Virtues (Human). Because it is impossible for a mere man ascend to Heaven on his own ability, God grants every Catholic man the supernatural help to grow in Virtue through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit which are freely available to every Catholic man who remains in a state of grace; even if a Catholic man falls into mortal sin and loses the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, he can repent, confess his sins in the Sacrament of Penance and return to a state of grace and regain access to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. What a man needs to break Vice and build Virtue is to come to understand Vice and Virtue and then seek God’s help. To help men understand Virtue and Vice and take concrete action, <a href='http://everycathoicman.com/'>EveryCathoicMan.com</a> has developed the Litanies of Virtue.<a href='https://everycatholicman.com/overview-of-vice-virtue-and-the-holy-spirit/'>To learn more about Vice, Virtue and the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit, go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a> <a href='https://everycatholicman.com/litany-of-chastity-against-lust/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Chastity go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a>

Daring great things is where leadership begins but leadership ends in the hearts of those that follow us.  Its not enough just to be doing things or doing them well, we have to do them in a way that other people can associate with and make it their own.  How do I make my great accomplishments a legacy that other people can benefit from?  We have to learn how to make our spirit come alive in the hearts of others.  Ironically, has to be concerned about his followers.
