In March 2019, Bishop Barron was interviewed by Dr. Jordan Peterson for the Jordan B. Peterson Podcast. To say the discussion was highly anticipated is an understatement. Fans of both Dr. Peterson and Bishop Barron have asked for these two great minds to meet, and their wide-ranging, nearly two-hour discussion is worth the wait. Although the interview hasn't been made public yet on Jordan Peterson's channels, in this episode we discuss some of the most interesting parts of the interview. (Sign up here to be notified when the interview goes live >> <a href= "https://wordonfire.org/peterson">https://wordonfire.org/peterson</a>) A listener asks about the term logos and what it means.

Why does it matter that an entire generation is hooked on pornography?  It strips us of who we are as humans.  It totally devalues us. The opposite of love is use - St. John Paul II made that very clear.

Pornography is the number 1 tool of the devil.  Think about that!
What does it look like when you have decades of men and women who have been exposed to pornography?   The use of another person for our own personal gain tears them down and tears us down.  We have an entire population that is walking around wounded.  They don't know what it is to love or be loved.  The result is we have an increase in suicides, eating disorders, confusion about gender, and confusion about marriage. 

But don't give up hope! St. John Paul II also said, "For we are not the sum of our failures and weaknesses.  We are the sum of the Father's love for us."

TrueManhood: The Effects of a Generation Hooked on Pornography with Dave DiNuzzo

Hey brothers, ever wonder what it takes to stand steady when life’s throwing curveballs? Welcome back to another reflection on St. Joseph. This time, we’re tackling “Joseph Most Just.” Imagine a guy so righteous he doesn’t lash out or crumble in chaos—he shields, he acts, he trusts God. That’s St. Joseph, and today, I’m unpacking how he’s our blueprint for living justly in a world that’s anything but.At work, you see a guy cutting corners—do you call him out or let it slide? At home, the kids are pushing every button, and you’re wiped—do you scroll or step up? Joseph shows us justice is doing the right thing, not the easy one. Your challenge today: Pick one spot to act justly. Maybe it’s pulling a co-worker aside to correct him with respect, not shame. Or it’s apologizing to your wife or kids after a short-tempered moment—teach them the right way, even when you’ve messed up.Push play now to hear how St. Joseph’s quiet strength can fire you up this Lent. It’s not about perfection—it’s about action, trust, and giving God His due. Let’s grow into just men together—hit that button and let’s roll.Products and References Mentioned:<ul><li>The Bible: Key references include Matthew 1:19 (“Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame”), Matthew 1:24 (Joseph’s obedience post-dream), and Psalm 15 (the just man walks blamelessly).</li><li>Consecration to St. Joseph: Book by Fr. Donald Calloway, recommended for the Lenten journey—grab it and follow along.</li><li>BuyMeACoffee.com/TMC: Support the podcast financially—link in show notes for one-time or monthly giving with perks.</li></ul>3 Powerful Quotes<ol><li>“Justice isn’t just fairness or sticking to rules. It’s living rightly before God and others, giving God worship, our family love, our neighbors respect.”</li><li>“St. Joseph proved time and time again that justice isn’t loud. It is steady. It’s picking what’s right over what’s comfortable.”</li><li>“Are you being just towards God? Are you giving God His due? Are you spending time praying to Him? Are you frequently in the sacraments?”</li></ol>Act, don’t just react. Next time you’re tempted to snap or slack off—whether at work or home—pause, breathe, and choose the right move, not the easy one. Joseph did it; you can too.<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 12 - St. Joseph’s Secret Weapon: How to Be a Just Man in an Unjust World

How do you reach a generation that won&rsquo;t talk in person&mdash;but opens up online? In this episode of Heroic Hotline, meet Alex Pacheco&mdash;aka The Catholic Gamer&mdash;who turned Fortnite matches with his kids into a thriving digital faith community. What began as bonding time during the pandemic quickly evolved into a Discord-based mission field where young men felt safe to share struggles, seek advice, and explore faith.
Discover how video games&mdash;often blamed for isolation&mdash;became a gateway to real connection, emotional growth, and spiritual breakthroughs. Alex shares how Gen Z and Alpha, more fluent in digital dialogue than face-to-face conversation, find healing and identity in online squads. Through voice chat and gameplay, young men opened up about anxiety, loneliness, and purpose&mdash;topics they&rsquo;d never touch in a classroom or church basement.
This isn&rsquo;t just a feel-good story. It&rsquo;s a challenge: What if the Church entered the battlefield where boys already are? Alex&rsquo;s work through Intercession Gaming combines digital catechesis, mentorship, and esports into a living ministry&mdash;proving that even battle royales can lead to the Cross.

WOF 161: What People Believe About Jesus

If you&#39;re involved in the Catholic world, you know at least a handful of ex-missionaries. Almost all of us have contributed to the support of a missionary at one point or another. And for many of us, that experience brought along with it some, often unexpected, frustrations and concerns. 
Faithful Catholics are known to be kind. This means we often avoid saying things that we often think about but know could potentially offend others. This leads to a lot of silent majority opinions. We all just go along with the flow, refusing to ever question or doubt the way things are. 
I believe that needs to change in order for us to pursue a more excellent Church. 
We have to be willing to take an honest look at how we manage our finances. The call to tithing is not just a call to throw money at something that&#39;s Catholic and call it a day. Rather, it&#39;s a call to be generous with our time, money, prayers, and talents to help build up the Kingdom of God on earth, especially in the areas God has placed us. 
To me, this means that we ought to be working to spread the Gospel first and foremost in our families, in our parishes, and in our local communities. I think it&#39;s past time we take a look at some of the ways we give our money and to evaluate the organizations we give our money to. 
These organizations do good work. There is simply no denying that. But good companies still need accountability and reform from time to time, just like good people do. 
I hope that today&#39;s episode will help you to honestly evaluate the way you give money and how it affects your ability to take ownership for making a massive impact in your local community.

Ep 231 | An Honest Review of Catholic Nonprofits and Self-Fundraising Models

Bishop Barron recently celebrated his first Confirmations as bishop, confirming several people at Holy Cross Parish in Moore Park, CA. He shares about that, and also discusses the purpose of Confirmation and the gifts of the Holy it provokes. For this week's listener question, Richard wonders why Jesus had to die on the cross instead of God just snapping his fingers and forgiving everyone.

WOF 010: The Power of Confirmation

Before the sun’s up and the coffee’s even finished brewing, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein break the “donut seal” for the first-ever BeatiDudes breakfast episode — and welcome a man whose ministry is anything but half-baked. Guest Martin Watjen, founder of Elevated Parish Missions, joins the table from Steubenville, Ohio, bringing humor, humility, and holy conviction about what it means to help people move faith from head knowledge to heart encounter.
The conversation hops from sticky-sprinkle banter and beard jokes to powerful testimony. Martin shares his wild road trip with eight kids, his time working security for the federal government, and his leap of faith when he left a comfortable role at Franciscan University to follow God’s call. Together, the crew explores the real purpose of parish missions: to reawaken a relationship with Jesus in the very pews and neighborhoods where we already live.
This episode serves up plenty of caffeine-fueled laughs (including a “Jonah and the donut” moment and a few improv curveballs) but ultimately lands on the deep truth that knowing about Christ isn’t the same as really knowing Christ. Martin’s story and joy remind us that evangelization begins with encounter and maybe a good cup of coffee.

In this thought-provoking and hilarious episode of The
BeatiDudes, Jason Craig joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for a bold discussion on youth ministry, manhood, and reclaiming authentic fraternity in the Church.
Jason, co-founder of Fraternus and editor of Sword &amp;
Spade magazine, doesn’t shy away from controversy as he challenges the current models of youth ministry, compares modern formation to beekeeping, and calls men to take seriously their role in raising the next generation. From the invention of adolescence to rites of passage, Jason dives deep into the need for male mentorship, the failures of youth culture, and why it's time to stop wearing cargo shorts.

Why Youth Ministry Might Never Work | Jason Craig | Episode #243

Steven Thomas, author of Catholic Joe: Superhero, is back with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein to talk about the beauty of marriage. After the sadness of his parents’ divorce when he was young, Steven’s heart was galvanized to fight for marriage. He has been married for 34 years and has eight living children. Steven wrote Catholic Joe: Superhero to show the beauty of marriage and make the Church more inviting. His advice for men, married or not, is to turn to St Joseph, follow the church teachings, and pray the family rosary. Catholic Joe is the first book in the series. Lieutenant General Joseph Salvatore, husband and father of a large family, is a man’s man. At age 48, he is still considered one of the deadliest men on the planet, able to kill an enemy with his bare hands and with the same hands tenderly caress his wife and children. Joe brings this same lethal intensity as he fights to save his youngest brother's marriage. In fighting for his brother, Joe, later deemed Catholic Joe by a reporter, uncovers corruption in the government and his church.During this bonus episode, The BeatiDudes and Steven Thomas declare that “thou shall consider every kid a miracle” before taking an unexpected call from a former BeatiDudes Super-Guest, Fr. Ken Geraci.

The Importance of Effective Communication in the Church | Matthew Warner | R4HIn this episode, we welcome Matthew Warner, the founder of Flocknote and author of Why They Follow published by Word on Fire. We discuss how he became passionate about the Catholic Faith and felt called to use his skills as a computer engineer to spread it. We learn about how this led to him founding the communications platform Flocknote as a way to connect unconnected Catholics with the great things happening in their parishes, as well as to re-evangelize the disaffiliated. We also will dive into the reasons why so many Catholics have left the Church and what we can do to lead them back home.Host: Mario Costabile- Sponsors -Pietra Fitness: By combining stretching and strengthening exercises with Catholic prayer and meditation, Pietra Fitness workouts enrich your body, mind, and soul so you can glorify God with your entire being. <a href="https://bit.ly/3TmA3Nf">LEARN MORE</a>The University of San Diego — Lighting the Way Forward <a href="https://bit.ly/4cply2F">LEARN MORE</a>- Resources -Take our podcast survey to help us make A Reason for Hope better for YOU! <a href="https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com/">www.areasonforhopepodcast.com</a>Visit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">www.arrayofhope.org</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">watch.arrayofhope.net</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

Today we hear the second half of Bishop Barron's recent talk to the Knights of Malta, in which he explains that behind much of the rioting and deep unrest in our country stand ideas stemming from four influential thinkers: Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault. Once we understand some of their most basic ideas, we will recognize their influence everywhere today.

Sanctifying Saints - St. Blaise: The Bishop, the Healer, and the Warrior of Faith

In his keynote talk at the 2022 Good News Conference, Bishop Barron speaks on the evangelical power of beauty in the Catholic tradition. True beauty leads by steady steps to the ultimate source of beauty, Christ. To evangelize, we can show the Sistine Chapel or Chartres Cathedral; show someone how to read Brideshead Revisited, the stories of Flannery O'Connor, or the poetry of T.S. Eliot; listen to Beethoven's "Seventh Symphony." This great tradition of beauty has the power to draw people in.

We must forgive. It is not an option. Do you know that everyone in heaven has forgiven everyone in their life for everything bad ever done to them? Bob covers the emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical benefits of forgiveness, as well as what forgiveness IS and IS NOT.

Bishop Barron was recently invited to speak at the Google headquarters (aka the Googleplex). in Mountain View, CA.

The North Lawndale Kinship Initiative Director for Old St. Patrick's Church in downtown Chicago, directing a ministry of community development. In that role he has set up a neighborhood sports collaborative called the North Lawndale Athletic & Recreation Association. Many people know him as coordinator for youth and young adult parish ministry, which he started doing 35 years ago and to some degree still goes on now. As a student he was the football manager for the team at his Catholic high school where he was able to learn the skills and the science of coaching, which he used when his parish started and needed a coach for a CYO football team, and that led to a whole career of coaching youth athletics across a variety of sports.

In this unforgettable episode of The BeatiDudes, the Dudes
are joined by Jack Beers, founder of The Catholic Mentor and the Integrated Life Foundation. What begins with a hysterical airport story involving a 4-year-old’s surprise ‘hug’ quickly turns into a deeply meaningful conversation about priestly burnout, spiritual direction, and the urgent need for emotional support in the Catholic Church. 
Jack shares how his journey led him to become a certified Catholic mentor, trained in the principles of personalism and integrated human formation. He dives into the powerful work of supporting priests through daily, faithful accompaniment and why it matters now more than ever. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein also explore Jack’s passion for baseball, his roots in New Jersey, and a few unconventional gifts from Cracker Barrel, including a yodeling pickle. 
This episode balances side-splitting laughter with soul-stirring wisdom.
Whether you’re a priest, parent, or just someone trying to make sense of life’s ‘wobble,’ this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and holy humor.

The BeatiDudes recorded live at the 2025 Young Catholic Professionals National Conference with Barry Rowan, a seasoned executive whose resume includes transforming billion-dollar companies — and whose soul was transformed by something far greater: the voice of God in silence. From contemplating monastic life to navigating Wall Street, Barry’s story is a powerful reminder that your interior life is your most important asset. He shares how the Lord redirected his ambitions, reshaped his identity, and rewrote the definition of success — from status and stock price to service and surrender. Spoiler: it involves divine nudges, silent retreats, and even the time Barry asked his wife if they should give everything away. (Yeah, she loved that conversation.) Barry’s marriage advice brought great wisdom to Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein.  🪑 Highlights &amp; Takeaways:• Barry’s transformation from a Wall Street warrior to a warrior of the heart.• The spiritual practice of silence and why it’s not just for monks.• The journey of integrating faith, business, and family into one undivided life.• “God’s not asking for your performance — He’s asking for your presence.” 💬 Barry's Wisdom Drop:“When we stop striving for significance, we can finally become significant in God’s eyes.”<h2> </h2><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</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> <a href="https://www.davemooremusic.com/">Dave Moore Music</a>

If you aren't familiar with the sweeping story of salvation, the "theo-drama," you won't fully grasp any particular part of the story.

In this episode, Father Dom gives a talk on what we should be most thankful for this holiday season, the Eucharist. Although we took a deep dive into this topic on earlier episodes of the podcast (see <a href="https://www.podpage.com/the-manly-catholic-1/ep-12-source-and-summit/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Episode 12</a>, <a href="https://www.podpage.com/the-manly-catholic-1/ep-13-transubstantiation-and-bread-of-life-discourse/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Episode 13</a>, and <a href="https://www.podpage.com/the-manly-catholic-1/ep-14-to-receive-or-not-to-receive-that-is-the-question/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Episode 14</a>), sometimes we need a refresher course on what should truly be at the center of our lives. Father Dom takes you on a  deep dive into Holy Scripture, tracing the footprints from Genesis to Revelation that all point us towards the Eucharist. From the grandeur of Abraham, Moses, and David to the humbleness of Isaac and Melchizedek, we explore the covenant and its powerful connection to the Eucharist. In the footsteps of St. Ignatius and St. Justin Martyr, Fr. Dom wanders through the labyrinth of their profound writings about the Eucharist. Their unwavering belief that the Eucharist is not merely bread and wine, but the actual flesh and blood of Jesus Christ is truly illuminating. As we navigate through the remarkable Eucharistic miracles and the holy sacrifice of the Mass, we uncover the symbolism and significance of the priest's vestments. Like what you heard?

Fr. John Anthony Boughton, CFR, grew up down the road from the BeatiDudes studio in Dallas, Texas. He graduated from the Virginia Military Institute and was commissioned into the US Naval Reserve. After his service, Fr. John Anthony worked in sales. Fr. John Anthony had a conversion to the Catholic faith during a series of miracles and encounters in Medjugorje. He then joined the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal in 1996 and was ordained to the priesthood in 2005.Fr. John Anthony provides The BeatiDudes with a reflection on forgiveness and tools for achieving deeper forgiveness. Forgiveness is a choice of the will. It is not an emotion. It is not forgetting. It is a grace-filled act of the will that relies on God to be complete. Fr. John Anthony suggests a 30-day forgiveness retreat using the following formula for praying over your agitations: “In the name of Jesus, I forgive _____ for ______, and I bless them.” And for those playing along with BeatiDudes Bingo – this show is jam-packed with rarely used words, including betwixt, agita, and jackanape.Connect with the CFRs<a href="https://www.franciscanfriars.com/">https://www.franciscanfriars.com/</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://onfiremedia.com/beatidudes">On Fire Media</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</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> <a href="https://www.davemooremusic.com/">Dave Moore Music</a>

Ep 135 - Removing the Stain on Your Soul, What's Up with Indulgences Anyways?

In 2015 Bishop Robert Barron gave the opening keynote speech at the famous World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia. In front of this massive crowd of Catholics, Bishop Barron explained how Christianity is the greatest form of humanism because of its unique claim that all humans are made in the image and likeness of God. As representatives of God, we share in the responsibility of bringing the power, wisdom, heart, and mind of God out into the world. This episode of the Word on Fire Show features Part One of the Bishop's powerful talk.

Who has the final say in a marriage: the husband or the wife? | The Ortegas | Ep 261

This is the life story, the testimony, and the conversion story of Nathan Crankfield. 
It&#39;s been shared many times and in many places, but never has it been done so thoroughly, vulnerably, and transparently as this. 
 
For those who don&#39;t know, Nathan Crankfield was born and raised in Harrisburg, PA. He was baptized Lutheran, but entered the Catholic Church at age 13, becoming the first Catholic in his family. In 2015, he graduated from Mount St. Mary&#39;s University, where he received an Army ROTC Scholarship. After graduation, Nathan was commissioned and trained as an Infantry officer at Fort Benning, GA, where he completed U.S. Army Airborne School and Ranger School. Upon completion, he headed to Fort Bragg, NC, where he served in the 82nd Airborne Division for three years.
After a deployment to Afghanistan, Nathan knew it was time to pursue his love for evangelization. Throughout his life, Nathan has cultivated a deep passion for encouraging others to fulfill their potential and purpose. In 2019, he accepted a position at the Dynamic Catholic Institute, where he faithfully served as a Parish Consultant for the archdiocese of Kansas City, MO &amp; Austin, TX. Nathan served as a Resident Director at Benedictine College in Atchison, KS. He currently resides in Denver, Co with his wife; Emily and their son Jordan. Nathan currently serves as a Sales Lead for <a href="https://hallow.com/" target="_blank">Hallow</a>, the Catholic prayer &amp; meditation app.
The initial ideas around Seeking Excellence came to Nathan during his college years as he felt God calling him to serve the Church using his gifts for writing and speaking. While serving his parishes, Nathan dedicated consistent time to writing reflections to share within his community.
When the mandatory stay-at-home orders went into place in the spring of 2020, Nathan received several cancellations for his booked speaking engagements. Much like all things Nathan does in his life, he decided to make the most of the situation by evolving. He moved his in-person events to a virtual platform, gaining new audiences and identifying our world&#39;s needs. Shortly after, Seeking Excellence launched with the support of Nathan&#39;s community and several friends who committed much time to help lay the foundation to bring his dream to life. 
Nathan continues to cast a bold vision for Seeking Excellence while striving to build a strong alliance of community, which will help make a significant impact in the Church.

Ep 254 | The Story of Nathan Crankfield

Friends, a <a href= "https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/08/05/transubstantiation-eucharist-u-s-catholics/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recent study from the Pew Research Center</a> found that nearly seven-in-ten Catholics (69%) believe that during Mass, the bread and wine used in communion "are symbols of the body and blood of Jesus Christ." Only one-third of U.S. Catholics believe in the doctrine of transubstantiation, which says the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Jesus. This is a spiritual crisis, and in response, the United States bishops have launched a three-year Eucharistic revival to help Catholics understand the truth and beauty of this sacrament. On today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," Brandon Vogt and I discuss our hopes for the revival and the special resource Word on Fire created to accompany it. A listener asks, if the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, is the Eucharist a person?

WOF 387: It's Time for Eucharistic Revival

He was a pitcher on his high school baseball team, including being All-State AND having thrown a no-hitter at a tournament where he made the All-Tournament squad. He went on to college baseball at both Bradley University and the University of Minnesota-Duluth. He also played in the Northwoods League for the Alexandria Blue Anchors. Almost immediately after his baseball career he delved into the world of skiing, with notable runs such as Jackson Hole and Big Sky, among others. He even combined skiing with faith, as he talks about here, plus he also served as an adaptive ski instructor.

He is the Executive Advisor of Pacific Rim Operations with the New York Yankees, which includes having served as a Japanese translator for the likes of Hideki Irabu, Masahiro Tanaka, and Hideki Matsui, among others. As a student-athlete he had competed in baseball, soccer, rugby, and track & field. He also serves as an advisor for Japan's Yomiuri Giants baseball team. He is a board member of "Catholic Men for Jesus Christ," a now 25-year old organization. He also has a radio show called, "Brothers in Arms," which airs monthly. And, he is a cancer survivor who by far is not only the first person to come on this show with a story about a miracle that would help confirm a saint, but probably the ONLY person who will be a guest and have that kind of witness to share -- the closest that any of us will come to hearing something like this firsthand.

Covenant relationship means making a complete gift of yourself to another in an outpouring of life-giving love; it is a relationship of sacrifice centered in love of God and love of our brothers and sisters made in God's image and likeness.  Deacon Harold expands on this for Word of God Wednesday. Also, Looking into Soulful Psalm 86.

Vocations Sunday

What does God want me to do with my life? And how can I discern God's will for my day-to-day decisions? We all ask these questions and today Bishop Barron offers his advice.

WOF 019: How to Discern God's Will for Your Life

Bishop Barron recently visited the University of St. Thomas in Houston, where he had the great privilege of preaching at their baccalaureate Mass. In his homily, shared today on the podcast, he said we must remember that the primary purpose of a Catholic university is evangelization, the proclamation of the lordship of Jesus Christ. Therefore, education must equip and form graduates to sanctify the world, so that the light of Christ can be brought into workplaces, classrooms, and trades.

WOF 286: Sanctifying the World

Parts of the global Church have a very different kind of challenge on their hands than we do in the West: how to handle explosive growth. In many parts of Africa, the Church is running out of room in their seminaries, convents, and monasteries because of rising vocations, and the laity are collectively practicing their faith in ways that put the Church in the West to shame. In Nigeria, upwards of 94 percent of Catholics go to Mass every week, while the U.S. can't even reach 30 percent in weekly Mass attendance among Catholics. What explains this wide discrepancy? What are we in the West getting so wrong about evangelization, and what is the Church in Africa getting so right? A listener asks how she and her family can practice Sabbath rest. 00:00 | Intro 01:50 | DOWR Chancery dedication 03:00 | The African church as a robust exemplar 05:35 | Does Africa's numerical strength translate to ecclesial strength? 07:12 | Lesson 1: Primacy of the supernatural 10:56 | Lesson 2: Hold fast to theological orthodoxy 12:08 | How the Church engages cultures 16:13 | Lesson 3: Commitment to evangelize the culture 17:49 | The rhythm between "hunkering down" and "diving in" 19:50 | Lesson 4: Praise in public, criticize in private 23:13 | Lesson 5: Courage in the face of opposition 25:19 | Counter-claims for Africa's religious success 28:49 | Listener question 31:28 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Show Notes: <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Stats for Nigerian Church attendance: <a href= "https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253488/where-is-mass-attendance-highest-one-country-is-the-clear-leader" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253488/where-is-mass-attendance-highest-one-country-is-the-clear-leader</a></li> <li>Stats for American Mass attendance: <a href= "https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/04/12/9-facts-about-us-catholics/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/04/12/9-facts-about-us-catholics/</a></li> <li>National Catholic Register article: <a href= "https://www.ncregister.com/news/same-sex-blessings-and-the-catholic-church-in-africa" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://www.ncregister.com/news/same-sex-blessings-and-the-catholic-church-in-africa</a></li> <li>E&C Online article: <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/pope-francis-isnt-actually-visiting-peripheries-hes-leaving-them-behind/"> https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/pope-francis-isnt-actually-visiting-peripheries-hes-leaving-them-behind/</a></li> <li>Crux article: <a href= "https://cruxnow.com/news-analysis/2023/01/running-the-numbers-africa-isnt-the-catholic-future-its-the-present"> https://cruxnow.com/news-analysis/2023/01/running-the-numbers-africa-isnt-the-catholic-future-its-the-present</a></li> <li>Vatican News article: <a href= "https://www.vaticannews.va/en/church/news/2023-04/over-50000-christians-killed-in-nigeria-by-islamist-extremists.html"> https://www.vaticannews.va/en/church/news/2023-04/over-50000-christians-killed-in-nigeria-by-islamist-extremists.html</a></li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

WOF 147: Introducing the Word on Fire Institute

I know, I am behind. Here is Father Dom's homily from the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time. It might be late, but it is full of Father Dom's humor, knowledge, and manliness. Have you ever pondered on the profound depth of a child's curiosity? In Father Dom's latest homily discussion, he discusses how he and Father Danny (associate pastor at OLC) lend their ears to young curious minds, exploring their thought-provoking questions on faith and religion. He highlights the importance of encouraging constant curiosity in children, and why parents play a pivotal role in their religious education.  He also revisited Jesus’ response to a Pharisee’s question about the greatest commandment, setting the stage for our next chapter on love, courage, and faith.

Thanks to The Catholic Music Initiative, The BeatiDudes were brought in to host various friends, new and old, on the Red Carpet, aka, The Red Tiny Carpet Table.
The pre-concert conversations turned into a rollercoaster of humorness and holiness with great guests, including Brian Asmussen, Becca Gerhart, Stephen Spies, Jacob Combo, Mike Kolker (Paul’s Father), and Andrew Gill.

#6 Life In Baptism

"I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life." Deacon Harold helps us apply that part of the creed to our lives as well as look at Soulful Psalm 118:19-26

The Holy Spirit in the Creed

We look for Jesus in churches, in prayer, and in scripture; but we can forget that Jesus presents Himself physically to us in the person right next to us.  We often see the worst in others and fail to see God Himself. 

Slow down this week to consider every person you encounter this week, reflect on how you treat them? Would your interactions have changed if you saw them as Jesus Christ? It is never too late to do more for your neighbor.

Joe Dunikoski, co-founder of Forum 56, is a perfect example of how work is good and where you do it matters. Benefiting from corporate matchmaking, Joe launched his career with Lucid Private Offices, which houses the BeatiDudes studio, five and a half years ago. He started in sales and now works in data and digital marketing for the company at 23. Joe graduated from the University of Dallas in 2023. During college, Joe co-founded Forum 56, a professional development organization that helps liberal arts students. The name is inspired by the Roman Forum, the birthplace of industry, and 1956, the year the University of Dallas was founded. The organization's purpose is to help these students learn the hard skills and limit the amount of “catch-up” they need when beginning their careers in the real world. The real beauty of Forum 56 comes from the corporate connections and human relationships formed.Join Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, Jeff Schiefelbein, and Joe Dunikoski as they predict the 2025 College Football National Championship, what to pack for camp, and all things Lucid Private Offices.

Forum 56 at The University of Dallas | Joe Dunikoski | Episode #193

Friends, is work something good or bad? Is it central to being human, or a punishment resulting from sin? And how do we understand our work theologically, tying it to God? On today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," Brandon Vogt and I discuss the Catholic Church's view toward the dignity of work and the rights of workers, learning from Dorothy Day, St. Josemaría Escrivá, and several recent popes. A listener asks, what do you mean by the term "transcendence," and how does it differ from immanent?

WOF 401: A Theology of Work

In the Institution of the Eucharist, the Word becomes flesh and dwells among us. Mary is mother of the Eucharist—she is the first tabernacle, the first monstrance.  John the Baptist is the first adorer of the Living Eucharist.  The home of Mary and Joseph was the first adoration chapel.  Through the gift of the Most Blessed Sacrament, every time we receive our Lord in the state of grace, we become like Mary.  We receive the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity Jesus Christ into the womb of our souls and become dwelling places for God.  Deacon Harold opens this up today and also looking into Soulful Psalm 132:15-18

Our Life in Christ: The Institution of the Eucharist

#64 GOD'S GRACE

Ryan Skoog brings stories from the front lines, war
zones, Himalayan villages, and places where the gospel has never been heard, revealing the incredible ways God is still moving like the Book of Acts. From Roman coliseum jokes to jaw-dropping miracle stories, the BeatiDudes is a wild blend of humor, faith, and holy boldness. 
You’ll hear:
· Miracles in modern times: healings, mass
baptisms, and freedom from demonic oppression.
· The “three UNS” of mission: unsafe, unreached,
and unresourced, and why Ryan’s team runs toward them.
· Doing it afraid: how fear doesn’t vanish, but
courage steps forward anyway.
· The power of the name of Jesus—in both spiritual
warfare and daily life.
· The global prayer movement: lessons from leaders
on six continents fueling the spread of the Gospel.
Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein bring
their signature mix of quick wit and deep faith as they guide Ryan’s powerful testimonies, sprinkling in improv games, honest reflections, and plenty of laughs. Along the way, we get a crash course in Russian prison-to-church redemption, cave cobras, WhatsApp healings, and the unexpected joy of blessing others especially when they least expect it.
This episode will leave you inspired to take the
“governor” off your prayers, stand against darkness, and live with a reckless trust in God’s promises.

Pilgrims of Hope | Mathew Zeik | Episode #198

We live in a time in which mental health is prioritized, often times, above all else. Self-care has become a blanket statement for all things self-help, self-serving, and stress relieving.&nbsp;
We have an obligation to take care of ourselves, that is, to steward the mind, body, and soul (among other things) that God has entrusted to us.&nbsp;
I believe that the body has much to teach us about the mind and soul. The way we care for our bodies and physical health comes down to three major things: &nbsp;nutrition, exercise, and rest. Our culture tells us that mental health is solely dependent on rest. I think that's nonsense.&nbsp;
In today's episode, you'll hear about the fitness, rest, and nutrition needed for a healthy mind.&nbsp;
Be your best!&nbsp;

Episode 268 - Jesus warns men to vigilantly be on guard and strive for holiness or face frightening consequences - Sunday August 10, 2025 - Lk 12:32-48

Today Deacon Harold is a Word of God Wednesday so we look into the Mass readings for Sunday for the Baptism of the Lord also looking into Soulful Psalm 29:1-10 from today's Mass.

The Baptism of the Lord

Being a Mom is challenging but out Catholic faith can help us know we are leading our children God's way. Today Deacon Harold chats with Samantha Stephenson about reclaiming Motherhood and also looks into Soulful Psalm 42:12 | 

Reclaiming Motherhood from a Culture Gone Mad helps Catholics to peel back societal assumptions to understand the fundamental misconceptions fueling our culture’s attacks on marriage, motherhood, and the family. Examining current practices in light of these faulty assumptions will empower women in their own motherhood and equip Catholics to combat the culture of confusion by boldly proclaiming God’s vision for our lives.

Reclaiming Motherhood

She is a current student-athlete, competing in the sport of volleyball. Away from the court, she brings her love of sports into her faith through a new non-profit that she is the founder and president of, called Field of Dreams Foundation: Catholic Sportsmanship in Action, Corp., which she talks about during this interview. She also shares strong faith testimony as it relates to medical challenges that she has already been having to face throughout her young life.
