Sometimes we forget that Lent is more than a season of waiting for Easter—it's a chance to transform our lives.

Join us this week as we remember the power of humility and how what the world may call losing will actually bring us closer to true perfection. The cross didn’t look like winning to the Apostles, but through His death and resurrection, Christ won for us the greatest reward of all.

Fix your eyes on Christ and take the time to listen and learn from Him.

A Dram with Sam Blair

“It’s not enough to just quit sinning. You have to lose your affection for sin.” This week Deacon Jeff and John talk about what it means to amend your life and detach from the sins we are so bonded to. Have you ever wondered why you fall prey to the same habits again and again? 

In this week’s episode John and Deacon Jeff discuss: 
- What it means to FIRMLY RESOLVE to sin no more.
- What we can learn from Jason Bourne.
- Wishing isn't planning - we must take preventative actions.
- Grace is a gift, but we cannot be presumptuous about it 
- You have to quit dancing around your sins and break up with them

Friends, what's the proper relationship between liberal democracy and the Catholic Church? Many smart and reflective people, on either side of the Catholic/American divide, have felt that the two systems, democracy and Catholicism, were incompatible. But why?

Smartphones have become an almost ubiquitous tool in our society. To not own one would be considered abnormal. And through them most people access all sorts of other technologies, especially social media.

Those who practice leadership work tend to focus on negative things - things that we need to improve.  But leaders just like anyone else are more motivated by what’s positive and we who lead in Christ must never forget to be joyful in Him.  In this second part of our series on the Secrets To Joyful Leadership we focus on the joy that comes from bringing a plan together for our people.  Embracing the arduous task of formulating a strategy is actually a gift for our people and ourselves.

What does it mean to be Christian? Well, it means that we believe that God is real, we believe that there are expectations of us to do good and be good, and we believe that each individual has free will. We also believe that we are meant to serve and love others even at our own expense.So how does capitalism figure into it? And above all, how can we possibly reconcile capitalism with our beliefs as Christians?On today's episode, we welcome back our friend Braden Ritchie to discuss what is tru...

How to Choose Joy in the Midst of Suffering

Romantic love (Eros) is everywhere—movies, music, social media. But our culture twists it, reducing it to fleeting passion, self-gratification, and empty pleasure. In this episode, we reclaim Eros for what it truly is—a God-given force meant to lead us to self-giving love, commitment, and holiness.I break down:<ul><li>How Eros, when rightly ordered, reflects God's covenant love.</li><li>Why the hookup culture and pornography industry are destroying authentic masculinity.</li><li>The danger of unrealistic expectations in marriage (yes, even The Bachelor is part of the problem).</li><li>How men must slay the dragon of lust and lead their relationships with virtue.</li><li>The one decision my wife and I made that eliminated divorce from our marriage—permanently.</li></ul>Men, Eros is not the enemy. But it must be redeemed, purified, and placed at the service of something higher. Today, I’ll show you how.🔥 One key takeaway: Kill lust before it kills you. If pornography or impurity is an issue, attack it viciously. Confession weekly. Mass immediately after. Cut off the source. Be a dragon slayer, not a slave.🔥 3 Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>“Pornography turns men into slaves and women into objects. If you’re caught in it, you must fight like your soul depends on it—because it does.”</li><li>“The world says ‘sleep around, get experience, be a player.’ That’s a lie. The virtuous woman you actually want to marry doesn’t want that man.”</li><li>“Your marriage is impossible without God. Invite Him in, or watch it crumble.”</li></ol>References &amp; Products Mentioned:<ul><li>Deus Caritas Est – Pope Benedict XVI’s teaching on Eros and love</li><li>The Catechism of the Catholic Church (Paras. 2360-2361) on marital love</li><li>Song of Songs – A biblical vision of Eros in its purest form</li><li>St. Joseph &amp; The Blessed Virgin Mary – The ultimate example of chaste, self-giving love</li></ul>Men, reclaim Eros from a world that has corrupted it. Lead with virtue. Live with purpose.

WOF 213: More Church Fathers You Should Know (Part 2 of 3)

Elizabeth, a Catholic author, speaker, and ministry leader from Ashburn, Virginia, with over thirty years of experience in faith formation, founded the Journey of the Beloved ministry to guide others towards healing and claiming their identity as beloved children of God, a mission born from her own transformative journey after decades of struggling with the effects of divorce, death, and abuse; her healing, catalyzed by the loss of her son, John Paul Raphael, led her to write the award-winning memoir, "Let Yourself Be Loved," and to develop workshops, coaching, and Sacred Story groups aimed at helping individuals move from heartache to healing through Christ. Also we look into Soulful Psalm 90:16-17

Ep 84 - Unleash Your Inner Catholic Cowboy: A Spiritual Ride with Fr. Bryce Lungren

Johnny Brask joins the BeatiDudes to kick off Season 7 with a fast-moving, laugh-heavy conversation that somehow includes walk-up songs for heaven, Minnesota geography debates, and the origin story of how Johnny went from a Catholic-school wild child to a founder and CRO. Along the way, you hear how a LinkedIn scroll led Johnny to The BeatiDudes, then to late-night calls with Joe, and eventually into the early grind of building Verso Jobs.
The conversation gets real when Johnny shares a blunt friend moment that woke him up, and how fitness became part of his broader journey of self-betterment. Episode 301 is another showstopper featuring Johnny Brask, with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein.

Getting Down to Brask Tax | Johnny Brask | Episode #301

Jon Leonetti challenges us to embrace the power of prayer. Adopt a go-to prayer, like the one he took from Saint Teresa of Calcutta, invoking Mary to be a mother. Whether it's the widely known Jesus prayer or one of your own creation, a short, heartfelt go-to prayer can be a mighty force in your spiritual journey. 

🙌 Embrace a go-to prayer for spiritual strength.
📿 Explore the potent Mary Mother of Jesus prayer.
🙏 Discover the impactful Jesus prayer.
💪 Create your own heartfelt go-to prayer.
🚀 Experience the power of prayer in your life.

Uncover the Ultimate Go-To Prayer Hack! 

More than a service project, this Pillar of Stewardship calls us to a deeper transformation of heart. Father Lanzrath and Joe Farris discuss how we can help develop a heart for service and servant leadership.

Service Continued

Mike Pacer is with the BeatiDudes to talk about the gritty, grace-filled reality of Catholic marriage and fatherhood. From why kids actually want boundaries to how husbands can shift from praying “next to” to praying “with” their wives, Mike lays out a hopeful, practical path: witness first, build a shared spirituality, make joy a decision, and apologize quickly.
Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein laugh their way through Ignatian holy water, Latin(ish) dad jokes, and a peek behind the scenes of 5 Stones’ work with the Eucharistic Congress.
Top Takeaways
· Witness &gt; Words: Your kids imitate what you do before they believe what you say.
· Love = Willing the Good: Love isn’t a butterfly; it’s a choice repeated daily, especially when it costs you.
· Pray Together, Not Just “Next To”: Stop forcing your spouse into your style; discover a shared spirituality through dialogue and humility.
· Boundaries Are Love: Discipline that trains, not shames.
· Entrance Prayer: Before you walk in the door, pause and pray because your primary vocation is waiting at home.
· Joy on Purpose: Temperaments differ, but joy can be a decision in service of love.
· Own It Fast: The quickest way to lead at home? Admit faults and apologize to your wife and your kids.
Practical Challenge (Do This Today)
· Text of Blessing: Send your wife a simple, sincere note, no agenda, just love.
· Hidden Service: Do one chore she’ll never notice… because you did it before it became a burden.
· Couple Prayer Plan: Choose one shared devotion for the week (e.g., Divine Mercy Chaplet in the car; a decade after dinner; or a bedtime psalm).
· Driveway Pause: Say a short prayer in the car before entering the house.
