Perfection of Soul

On Easter Sunday, 2011, Chris Faddis’ late wife Angela was admitted to the hospital after an emergency room visit revealed a large mass in her colon and multiple masses in her liver. The diagnosis was stage IV metastatic colon cancer, with no chance of a cure. Upon doctors informing the couple of the news, Angela’s words to Chris were, “Jesus still rose, so we will trust.” Her witness in death inspired Chris and his friend Dr. John Oertle to launch Solidarity HealthShare, a national not-for-profit ministry that provides an affordable and ethical alternative to fund healthcare costs while protecting and practicing Catholic beliefs. Chris shares the ups and downs of getting Solidarity off the ground and enjoys many laughs and some singalongs with the BeatiDudes throughout it all. Chris is married to Jennifer, and they have five beautiful children. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of the world’s greatest salesperson to address the prompt, “Jesus specialized in ______ before his public ministry.” Paul delivers a mic-drop moment for the ages. The TBD Question of the day - “What is a time in your life that you wish you could do over?” The show concludes in true Reverse Simpsons fashion when Chris and the Dudes go head-to-head in a grip-strength competition.<h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</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>

Wife’s WITNESS in Death Inspires New Healthshare Ministry | Chris Faddis | Episode #055

Deacon Michael calls for men to live a life of piety through dedication to the Eucharist. In many ways it is challenging for Catholic men today to live a life of Piety. Piety, one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. Piety engenders in the soul a filial respect for God, a generous love toward Him, and an affectionate obedience that wants to do what He commands. To develop and grow a life of piety, men must have a devotion to the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Deacon Michael implores men to attend mass as an active participant, and treat the Sacrament of the Eucharist as the most important part of a Man’s life.

Wyoming Whiskey they are proud of their state and their spirits. the distillery was founded in 2009 by Kate and Brad Mead and their friend David DeFazio. But they had the help of an experienced guiding hand — Steve Nally, former master distiller at Makers Mark. The first commercial Whiskey was released as a four year old in 2012, but they state that all current Whiskies are a minimum of five years old. Importantly, they state loud and clear that none of their spirits are sourced. Every drop is distilled and aged on site at their facility in the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming, all the grains are farmed within one hundred miles, and the water comes forma local well sunk into an ancient limestone aquifer. And you’ve just got to respect that.

Bishop Greg Kelly, the newly installed 5th Bishop of the Diocese of Tyler, joins BeatiDudes Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein again for this bonus episode about homilies. Bishop Greg Kelly was ordained to the priesthood in 1982. Throughout his life, he listened to many boring homilies, and he longed to deliver something better.

If you don&rsquo;t become love, you&rsquo;re missing the whole point. In Chapter Six: Love, we hit the emotional and spiritual climax of the series. Father Larry doesn&rsquo;t pull punches&mdash;he reminds us that Jesus gave just one command: Love one another as I have loved you (John 13:34). And that love isn&rsquo;t soft. It&rsquo;s the Cross. It&rsquo;s sacrifice. It&rsquo;s strength poured out. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

EP 78 Q&A With Fr.Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

There's a new Niles in the world. Joshua Benedict Rex was born this week, and Dave wants you to know how stressful it all was. For the dad, that is. The pressure. The anxiety. All those things. None of which come to mind right now. Joke's on Dave, though, because Lady Pamela got to the birth center, the midwife offered to break her water, and Joshua arrived eleven minutes later. That's boy number three, bringing the count to three boys and four girls. Adam got the "we're going in" text at the hospital, stopped to pray, and barely beat the birth. The baby's a content little guy. A stereotypical Niles baby, the spitting image of baby Davy. Baptism's in a couple weeks with Uncle Father Sean, godparents are Sarah and Drew, and somewhere in there is a real theology question the guys throw to the priests who listen: can you name godparents after the fact for a baby baptized in a rush? Asking for a Mary.That birth set the whole table. Every time a baby comes into this circle of friends, the men pull their money, buy one nicer bottle of whiskey, sign it with the kid's name, and drink it together. They call it the "baby bottles" tradition. It blends friends into family. And it's exactly the kind of gift that makes you grateful, which is what this whole episode is about.They're recording on a Friday, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, the same day the bishops of America consecrated the entire country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The pour is Glendalough, a pot still Irish whiskey the guys actually visited on pilgrimage. Triple distilled by law, smooth, no burn, and oddly cheap. The bottle shows St. Kevin in cruciform, a bird nesting in his open hand. The pious legend says he held that prayer posture so long the eggs hatched. Jim's scale (Irish edition): 3.96 out of 6.Then the meat: gratitude. Not the bumper-sticker kind. Gratitude is a virtue, a sub-virtue of justice, because it renders to another what's due, first to God who gave us everything. Aquinas lays out three degrees: recognition, expression, repayment. Most of us fail at the first one. We take the morning, the clothes, the breath for granted. St. Bernard calls ingratitude a scorching wind that dries up the streams of grace. God pours, the man doesn't return thanks, the flow stops.The hardest, most masculine turn in the episode is receiving. Men hate it. I don't need your charity. I can carry this cross. But refusing a gift graciously offered isn't humility. It's a wall. Adam's lived on the receiving end through Mary's time in the NICU, and he's learned the Christian paradox: the more graciously indebted you are, the richer your life, because the score is never even. That's not a debt to clear. That's a brotherhood.And the punchline ties it all together. Eucharist means thanksgiving. A man of gratitude is a Eucharistic man. You can't repay God for creating you, so He came down, became one of us, and offered Himself on your behalf. All you have to do is show up. Protect, provide, establish, and give thanks. Raise your glass.<h2>TOPICS COVERED</h2><ul><li>Joshua Benedict Rex Niles is born, baby boy number three, bringing the Niles count to three boys and four girls</li><li>Dave's tongue-in-cheek case that the dad has it hardest in childbirth</li><li>Lady Pamela's eleven-minute birth at the birth center after the midwife broke her water</li><li>The "kingship" theme running through the Niles boys' names: David, Joseph, and now Joshua Benedict Rex</li><li>Why every Niles baby is a "cookie cutter" content baby, and Joshua looking just like baby Davy</li><li>The wonder that a child somehow looks like both mom and dad, "only God could make a baby look like both"</li><li>Baptism plans with Uncle Father Sean and godparents Sarah and Drew</li><li>The open question for the priests who listen: can you name godparents after the fact for a baby baptized in a rush?</li><li>The "baby bottles" tradition, the men pooling money for a signed bottle of whiskey to honor each new baby</li><li>Why this kind of tradition blends friends into family</li><li>Recording on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, and the U.S. bishops consecrating the country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus</li><li>Whiskey of the week: Glendalough pot still Irish whiskey, triple distilled and smooth</li><li>The legend of St. Kevin of Glendalough, the bird's nest in his hand and his love of all God's creatures</li><li>Why Irish whiskey is the most approachable place to start, and surprisingly cheap</li><li>Jim's scale (Irish edition): 3.96 out of 6</li><li>"Better than I deserve, I'm sure," Adam's go-to answer to "how are you?"</li><li>The man at the pharmacy who'd just lost his wife, and never knowing what people are carrying</li><li>Gratitude as a virtue, and specifically a sub-virtue of justice</li><li>The book of Job as the model of gratitude to the core: "the Lord has given and the Lord has taken away"</li><li>Why a member of the Body of Christ is doing well no matter what else is going wrong</li><li>Aquinas's three degrees of gratitude: recognition, expression, repayment</li><li>Why recognition is the weak spot for most people, the habit of taking things for granted</li><li>The internal act of the will toward the benefactor as the heart of repayment</li><li>The humility it takes to receive a gift, and why most men refuse charity</li><li>How receiving a gift graciously multiplies joy and binds a community together</li><li>The Christian paradox of being "graciously indebted," and why the score is never even</li><li>St. Bernard of Clairvaux on ingratitude as a burning wind that dries up the streams of grace</li><li>Deacon Garlick's prayer of thanks as a model for opening prayer</li><li>Meditating on the magnitude of the Incarnation, the worm-and-the-man analogy</li><li>Why real men don't complain or "vent," and complaining as carrying the cross while griping about its weight</li><li>Dying for your family is easy;
