WOF 320: Volume II of the Bible is Here!

We all know that leadership is about vision and passion but sometimes we forget that if no one is following us we’re not leading anyone.  In truth the test of a good leader includes their ability to engender their spirit in their followers.  And few people were better at this than St. Paul.  In many of his writings, especially his letters to Titus and Timothy, we have a valuable lesson of how a Christian passes their inner fire to their followers.  A lesson our Christian leaders can use today.

Episode 164 - EXTRA - In-depth Study of the Passion  - Jesus is rejected by the Jewish mob and is scourged - Sunday March 24, 2024 – Mt 27:15-21; Jn 18:39-19:3

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss the importance of trust in relationships both human and divine.

Trust

Everybody who is successful knows that great ideas are only the beginning.  You need a strategic plan, you need helpers along the journey, and you need the staying power of pure determination.  Does our faith have anything to do with this?  Does being a Christian give an advantage to leaders?  Or is there any overlap between the faith and the demands of our practical life?  We believe that there is and one of the best places to see it is in the beauty of grit.

He spent 23 years working for the Harlem Globetrotters, leading the team's Communications Department. During that time, he arranged two visits to the Vatican and accompanied the Globetrotters players to meet Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis. Previously he had served as VP of Communications for the Continental Basketball Association, working as the league’s main spokesperson and liaison to the NBA and USA Basketball. His international experience also included work on the US Olympic Committee press information team at the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and serving as assistant venue press manager for the 2013 World Baseball Classic. As a student-athlete he played football, baseball, and ran track & field in high school, still holding the school record for 400-meter hurdles and being inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2018. This past March he was named the Director of Communications for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix. He is also a professional sports photographer and prior to his new role shot Georgia Tech football and men’s and women’s basketball.

Today, leadership requires courage.  In times like ours it’s easier to stop rather than to keep going.  But what’s the secret to courage?  In the lives of the saints we find many examples of courageous leadership.  But in the life of St. Stanislaus, Bishop of Krakow, there is a special lesson that speaks to each one of us: the strength of consistent integrity.

DGT Episode 86 - Courageous Leaders Part 7 - St. Stanislaus

The ability to cast an effective vision is much more than coming up with great ideas.  Ideas require planning in order to be effective and planning requires choice and focus.  But as we all know our choice and focus can sometimes be wrong.  That’s because strategy itself depends upon our awareness.  Being alert, being aware, and being attentive is the secret for making great plans.  Let’s take a look at how this dovetails with our faith to help us lead everywhere in our lives.

We all want to be successful and have a great life, however, most men place their spiritual life as something separate from that roadmap and strategy. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. If we really want that life, that vitality, and that greatness we have to fix our broken plan. Today we take an aerial view of the spiritual life so that every man, regardless of his situation, can be victorious in the hand-to-hand combat of his daily struggles.Learn about these 4 enemies and how to apply the practices we discuss. In addition, today we get to answer a question from a listener who asks about balancing his pursuit of a high-performance professional job and raising a family.✅ If you have any questions that we can answer on the show, please, send your questions to us at podcast@catholicgentleman.com.

A Look into St. Francis de Sales

In this bonus episode, Catholic apologist Trent Horn and Protestant apologist Steve Christie (author of Why Protestant Bibles Are Smaller) debate whether Protestants have the correct old testament canon. Bios Steve Christi: I graduated from a Catholic college, where I converted to a Protestant in August 2004. I also earned a Bachelor's degree in psychology & a Master of Business Administration. I was the Chairman of the Missions Committee at my former church. I have spoken at several churches in the northwest Ohio, northeast Ohio, & southeast Michigan areas on the canon of Scripture, as well as the keynote speaker on the 500-year anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. I was a guest on Reason & Theology (a Catholic YouTube ministry), and later I debated Gary Michuta on the canon. I have been interviewed on Christian television & radio. I have been teaching home Bible studies for 13 years, and the author of two books: “Why Protestant Bibles are smaller” & “Not really of us: why do children of Christian parents abandon the faith?” I currently worship at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Toledo, Ohio. Trent Horn: After his conversion to the Catholic faith, Trent Horn earned master’s degrees in the fields of theology, philosophy, and bioethics. He serves as a staff apologist for Catholic Answers, where he specializes in teaching Catholics to graciously and persuasively engage those who disagree with them. Trent models that approach each week on the radio program Catholic Answers Live and on his own podcast, The Counsel of Trent. He has also been invited to debate at UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, and Stanford University. Trent is an adjunct professor of apologetics at Holy Apostles College, has written for The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly, and is the author of nine books, including Answering Atheism, The Case for Catholicism, and Why We’re Catholic: Our Reasons for Faith, Hope, and Love.

WOF 118: Jordan Peterson and Catholicism

When is the best time to reconnect with God? Right now. It is easy to make excuses and procrastinate on all kinds of things, your relationship with God should not be something you hold off for later.

You don't need to wait for a moment or a convenient time to kickstart your relationship with God. Make time today to pray, go to mass, confession or Adoration. Reach out to someone who you see as faithful and ask them for help.

#44 The Best Time

Have you heard that "men have a special call to be first-responders, to step up and be leaders?" Most of us don't know how. We don't think we have what it takes. We think we're not "special enough." We're just ordinary.

I'm so happy to tell you you're wrong. Think about David - an ordinary shepherd. God used him to shatter the enemy and reshape the future of the world. Think about our grandfathers in the recent world wars - they were ordinary too. They changed the face of the war. This is how God works; he empowers ordinary men to get extraordinary results!

You have the potential to be a leader in your life, for your friends and family.

How does the U.S. Army define leadership? It's a way to influence people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation. Leaders help people accomplish a mission and improve how things are done.

In this online workshop, 3 former Army officers will teach you how to grow your influence, how to be a different kind of leader, and how to motivate people to get things done - without raising your voice. As Catholics, we're going to break down the craziest, most Christ-like form of leadership: servant leadership.

The workshop is in 3 parts:

Purpose by Marek Rudak
Direction by Shanon McGurk
Motivation by Nathan Crankfield

To help you follow along and take notes, please print out the Field Guide for this workshop: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EL4BCnY3M5alVShqCyECULX4dgDV5rQy

If you have any questions about servant leadership or your particular situation, you can schedule a complimentary call with Marek by clicking on the following link: https://calendly.com/marekrudak/15min

<h1>We need your help</h1>
Our annual Catholic radio fundraiser is coming up and we are hoping to put together a video montage of people who have found The Catholic Man Show to be helpful in their lives, the lives of friends, and/or the lives of family members and play the video at our fundraiser to show how Catholic media, particularly Catholic radio, can impact people. This is where the request comes into play. We would like you to send us a 15-20 second video and tell us how TCMS has impacted your life.
Here&#8217;s what you need to do:
<ol>
<li>Turn your smartphone horizontal, then hit video record.</li>
<li>Introduce yourself and where you are from.</li>
<li>And tell us in a couple sentences how TCMS has made an impact in your life.</li>
<li>Save the video and send it to <a href="mailto:adam@stmichaelradio.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">adam@stmichaelradio.com</a> before Friday, November 22nd, 2019.</li>
</ol> 
That&#8217;s it!
I know these type of requests can be annoying or inconvenient, but it truly helps us continue growing and gaining the support we need to make high-quality Catholic media.
We appreciate your willingness to help us.
We are on the Lord&#8217;s team. The winning side. So raise your glass. 
Cheers to Jesus,
Adam and David

Heroic Minute #66 How Does God Love
How does God show us he loves us? He shows us how He loves through a gift model. He loves us by gifting us with life, gifting us with the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ and gifting us with forgiveness. We are called to love as the Father loves us. This means we need to ask ourselves, "Are we giving life to others? Are we sacrificing for others? Are we forgiving others?"

Episode 223 - The astounding manifestation of Our Lord is celebrated in the great Feast of the Epiphany - Mt - 2:1-12

Today we share in interview about Brandon Vogt’s new book <a href="https://wordonfire.org/return">Return: How to Draw Your Child Back to the Church</a>, recently published by Word on Fire. The book is full of concrete advice and practical strategies to help draw any loved one back to the Church. <a href="https://wordonfire.org/return">Return</a> includes one of the best summations of why people dismiss the Church’s faith. He doesn’t cast aspersions or blame, and he avoids the scapegoating that marks some approaches to this problem. Instead, he focuses on the solution, using a positive emphasis on what parents can say and do to respond to their child’s objections, rebuild relationships, and ultimately draw them back to the Church. <a href="https://wordonfire.org/return">Return</a> offers no magic-bullet guarantee that your loved one will come back. But you will find a complete game plan to create the best possible environment to reintroduce them to Christ and his Church.

"You should look into the Catholic faith."

It isn’t a surprise to anyone that life comes with a lot of challenges. In fact, there are a lot of reasons men feel tempted to give up hope, whether it’s struggling with habitual sin, difficulty in their marriage, or financial problems. That’s why I invited Deacon Jeff into the studio this week to talk about hope!

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 - How to put your hope in Jesus Christ rather than in other things like money or security.
 - How to LIVE a life of hope in Jesus Christ, instead of just saying you have hope in Him.
 - How to fight despair when troubles come your way.
 - How hope can only come when you are also living with faith and love.
 - And more!

Fr. Dave Pivonka on the Necessity of Prayer

I'm thrilled to be back in the studio after an incredible week at the  National Eucharistic Congress. In this episode, I’m diving into all the amazing experiences and graces from the event in Indianapolis, where over 60,000 Catholics gathered. It was such a powerful moment for our community, and I can’t wait to share my thoughts and stories with you.

We’ll talk about the highlights, the inspiring speakers, and the impact this Congress had on all of us. Plus, I'll discuss what comes next after this revival. Spoiler: we're talking about keeping the momentum going and continuing to strengthen our faith.

During the Congress, I had the chance to meet so many of you at our booth. We shared stories, took pictures, and enjoyed some great conversations. A special thank you to those who joined our live podcast session with Father Malachy – your support means the world to us!

One touching moment was meeting a young man who shared how a previous podcast episode had helped him return to his faith. It’s encounters like these that remind us why we do what we do.

I also reflected on the biblical figures we can learn from: Moses, who doubted his ability but led the Israelites out of Egypt with God's guidance; David, the shepherd boy who became a king and defeated Goliath; Gideon, who overcame his fear to lead Israel to victory; Jeremiah, the young prophet who spoke God's word despite his youth; and Peter, the fisherman who became the rock of the Church after his encounter with Jesus.

The NEC is over . . . now what?

Men, Porn is More Dangerous Than You Think

It’s been over 35 years since the abortion and 15 years since he was forgiven in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, but now we dare ask Jeff the question, “Have you forgiven yourself.” Still in the process of healing, Jeff describes when he knows the process will be complete.

Episode 5: Unforgiveness

From gang life to God’s grace—Alan Diaz’s transformation is nothing short of miraculous. In this gripping episode of Heroic Stories, Alan shares his journey from the dark streets of New York, where violence and survival ruled his days, to a life of faith, purpose, and true Brotherhood in Christ. He opens up about the pain of abandonment, the false promises of gang loyalty, and the moment he cried out to God for a way out. A chance encounter, the love of a good woman, and an unexpected blessing set him on a path to redemption. Now, Alan is a devoted husband, father, and leader in his community, using his testimony to reach the next generation. This is a story of struggle, faith, and the power of real Brotherhood—the kind that lifts men up rather than tears them down.Subscribe free to weekly Heroic Men email: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://stories.heroicmen.org">https://stories.heroicmen.org</a>| ABOUT THIS SHOW |Heroic Stories—the series to strengthen Catholic men with raw stories of heroic grit &amp; faith.

Jesus warns men to remain vigilant in the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Maidens. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of Understanding from the Holy Spirit so he can ponder the blessings of Heaven and by seeking the Fruits of Chastity and Modesty so he can more effectively battle against lust.
