Chapter 9: Holy dives deep into the soul-level challenge every man faces: Will you be holy&mdash;or not? In this firebrand chapter, Father Larry lays out the high stakes with no sugarcoating: you either become a saint, or you go to hell. There is no middle ground. Drawing from scripture, Church tradition, and hard-earned pastoral wisdom, he rips through lukewarm excuses and invites men into a life of radical holiness. But what does that mean? It&rsquo;s not about being perfect or self-righteous&mdash;it&rsquo;s about being set apart, aligned with God's will, and living a life that says "Thy will be done" for real. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Chapter 9: Holy Stakes

About the Topic:
Many times when we sin, it is because we have entertained a disorder and perceived it to be good. When we do sin many times it is hard to forget about what we have done and we can glorify the sin. "Forgiveness of sins by God is precisely the highest and the most eminent form of the purification of memory. That is because the divine forgiveness really erases and destroys the sin, so that its weight does not burden the conscience anymore."
How we can help purify the mind: 1. Confession 2. Adoration and an increase in prayer life which increases the theological virtue of hope 3 Holy thoughts and images.

Eulogy versus Resume

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, Sam and John are joined by Dr. Peter Malinoski to speak about the difference between courage and fearlessness. Peter discusses how a lot of what men experience is not in direct control of the will, and how we must work to become attuned to that in our own lives. If you or anyone in your life struggles with fear, anxiety, or depression, join us.<ul>
<li>Why many of us are just parodies of a true man</li>
<li>The problem with constantly spiritualizing our problems</li>
<li>Why we should avoid white-knuckling emotional difficulties</li>
<li>How to handle fear appropriately</li>
<li>And more...</li>
</ul> Peter Malinoski, Ph.D., is the president and co-founder of Souls and Hearts, and a clinical psychologist for the past 20 years in private practice in Indianapolis. He specializes in resolving problems and healing wounds that bridge the psychological and spiritual realms. A particular emphasis on unconscious psychological factors that thwart one’s capacity to receive love from God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and other people underlies his work. He also focuses on the unconscious dynamics that get in the way of us loving God and each other. He has been particularly influenced by Carmelite spirituality, especially St. Teresa of Avila, St. Therese of Lisieux, and St. Maximilian Kolbe. With Souls and Hearts, he manages the business operations and contributes to content creation. Peter has been married for 25 years to his beloved wife Pam and has seven children ages 8 to 23.

Find your Fun

What if the end of your life was today&mdash;would it matter how you lived? In this gripping and raw reflection, &ldquo;Final Goal&rdquo; confronts the ultimate truth: you are going to die. And that&rsquo;s not a threat&mdash;it&rsquo;s a wake-up call. From a spit-take over a shocking book line to the death of a teenage hockey player, every story in this chapter is a reminder that life is short, fragile, and urgent. But more than fear, it offers purpose. The real question isn&rsquo;t just when you&rsquo;ll die&mdash;but who you&rsquo;re living for. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

About our drink:
Deanston 12 year
The new, relaunched 12 year old, this single malt has been bottled at a slightly higher proof, negating the necessity for chill-filtration and as such retaining more of its original charm. A lovely dram from the Deanston distillery.

Nailers, also known as nail guns, are available in coil and strip nail loading configurations.

This type of nail gun is more compact and can fit into more places than models requiring nail strips.

Strips of paper, plastic or wire hold the nails together. This configuration distributes the weight of the nails, making them easier to handle compared to coil nail guns. That means electric nailers requiring strips also handle easier than coil varieties.

About the Topic:
This episode is taken from Dr. Tim Gray - <a href="https://ascensionpress.com/collections/exodus-called-to-freedom" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Exodus: Called to Freedom by Ascension Press</a>
When God called Israel out of slavery in Egypt to a life of freedom as his people, it was the defining moment in Israel’s history. Exodus: Called to Freedom looks through the lens of Christ and the Church to show that, more than just seeking to free his people from the domination of Pharaoh, God desired to free his people from the far more dangerous grip of sin. Presenter Tim Gray explains how the Exodus story is not just Israel’s story but our story as well, because it reveals who God is and what he calls us to be. Discover the divine purpose behind the plagues on Egypt and how God’s law reflects his love and concern. Learn the keys to authentic freedom and how a proper understanding of the Exodus can illuminate one’s understanding of the Christian Faith.

What if your biggest spiritual problem isn&rsquo;t sin&mdash;but pride? In &ldquo;Repentance,&rdquo; Chapter Three of the series, we&rsquo;re confronted with the brutal truth: men love to be in control, and sin is just doing it our way instead of God&rsquo;s. But this chapter is more than just a guilt trip. It&rsquo;s a roadmap for spiritual victory. We don&rsquo;t repent to earn God&rsquo;s love&mdash;we repent because we&rsquo;re already loved, and we&rsquo;re finally ready to trust Him. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

A Dram With Dan Donaldson

What if the deepest truth about you isn&rsquo;t your failures&mdash;but that you are loved? In &ldquo;Beloved Son,&rdquo; the most essential chapter of the book, we get a powerful reminder of our true identity&mdash;not as sinners, but as sons. This isn&rsquo;t just theory. It&rsquo;s personal, emotional, and deeply spiritual. Centered around Mark 1:11, where the Father says to Jesus, &ldquo;You are my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,&rdquo; this talk calls every man to hear those words for himself&mdash;and to believe them. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

S2- Case #14 "Medium, Not Well Done", Pt 2

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.

3 hr Interview W/ Christopher West TONIGHT!

I'll share with you why I started a Catholic lofi channel. We'll also look at what St Thomas Aquinas says are 4 characteristics of joy. 🎧 Catholic Lofi: <a href="https://youtu.be/FbsO3bgyH84">https://youtu.be/FbsO3bgyH84</a> 😊 Locals (Morning Coffee podcast): <a href="https://mattfradd.locals.com/">https://mattfradd.locals.com/</a> Aquinas on the four characteristics of joy: Anyone who desires to make progress must have spiritual joy: "A cheerful heart is a good medicine" (Prov. 17:22). The Apostle touches on four characteristics of true joy; First, it must be right, this happens when it concerns the proper good of man, which is not something created, but God: "But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge" (Ps. 73:28). Therefore, it is right, when there is joy in the Lord; hence he says, in the Lord: "'Me joy of the Lord is your strength" (Neh.,8:10). Secondly, it is continuous; hence he says, always, "Rejoice always" (1 Thess. 5:16). This happens when it is not interrupted by sin, for then it is continuous. But sometimes it is interrupted by temporal sadness, which signifies the imperfection of joy. For when a person rejoices perfectly, his joy is not interrupted, because he cares little about things that do not last; that is why he says always. Thirdly, it should be multiple, for if you rejoice in God, you will rejoice in His incarnation: I bring you good news of a great joy, which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior" (Lk. 2: 10); and in your own activity: "When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous" (Prov. 21:15); and in your contemplation: "Companionship with her has no bitterness" (Wis. 8:16). Again, if you rejoice in your good, you will be prepared to rejoice in the good of others; if you rejoice in the present, you are prepared to rejoice in the future; hence he says, again I will say, rejoice. Fourthly, it should be moderate and not flooded with pleasures, as happens in worldly joy; hence he says, let all men know your forbearance. As if to say: Your joy should be so moderated that it will not degenerate into dissoluteness: "The people continued feasting in Jerusalem before the sanctuary" (Judith 16:20). He says, let all men know, as if to say: Your life should be so moderate in externals, that it offends the gaze of no one; for that would hinder your manner of life. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why I Started a LOFI Channel 🎧😊

Every man lives by a story, but what if the story you’ve been living isn’t true? We find ourselves, unknowingly, trapped in lies that define who we are and how we must act. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt expose the hidden lies that quietly shape how men see themselves, their worth, and their purpose. These lies are subtle, powerful, and universal, and until they’re revealed, they keep good men restless, anxious, and unsure of who they really are.  With honesty and Catholic depth, John and Devin call men back to their true identity, one rooted not in lies but in something far greater. If you’ve ever felt like you’re striving but still empty, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.  FREE Handmade Wooden Rosary with Pardon Crucifix This Month for those joining CG+.  🟢 Join Catholic Gentleman+ for over 30 sessions of exclusive formation, daily saint quotes, and a brotherhood of men pursuing holiness: ⁠⁠<a href="https://catholicgentlemanplus.com">https://catholicgentlemanplus.com</a>⁠⁠ 👉 Devin Schadt’s new book The Rule: ⁠<a href="https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule">https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule</a>⁠ COUPON CODE for 20% Off: Gentleman20  Video Producer - Pietro Damasceno  ______________________  🔴 PLEASE HELP US GROW THIS CHANNEL 🔴 1.

3 Lies Every Man Believes

In today's episode, hosts John Heinen and Sam Guzman discuss the actual teachings of the Eucharist relying on the words from the Holy Scripture. We go through the Scripture and pull out 5 different sections in the Bible to prove the truth of the Eucharist that all men must understand. We rely heavily on other Scripture verses to further support these primary verses. Men, the Eucharist can transform you; read, pray, and learn to love Christ in the Eucharist. 🔴 LEARN MORE ABOUT Catholic Gentleman+ - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com/finally-here 🔴 Learn more about your ad choices.

You can support Pints With Aquinas here: Patreon.com/pwa --- Without any hesitation we must abhor the error of Helvidius, who dared to assert that Christ's Mother, after His Birth, was carnally known by Joseph, and bore other children. For, in the first place, this is derogatory to Christ's perfection: for as He is in His Godhead the Only-Begotten of the Father, being thus His Son in every respect perfect, so it was becoming that He should be the Only-begotten son of His Mother, as being her perfect offspring. Secondly, this error is an insult to the Holy Ghost, whose "shrine" was the virginal womb ["Sacrarium Spiritus Sancti" (Office of B. M. V., Ant. ad Benedictus, T. P.), wherein He had formed the flesh of Christ: wherefore it was unbecoming that it should be desecrated by intercourse with man. Thirdly, this is derogatory to the dignity and holiness of God's Mother: for thus she would seem to be most ungrateful, were she not content with such a Son; and were she, of her own accord, by carnal intercourse to forfeit that virginity which had been miraculously preserved in her. Fourthly, it would be tantamount to an imputation of extreme presumption in Joseph, to assume that he attempted to violate her whom by the angel's revelation he knew to have conceived by the Holy Ghost. We must therefore simply assert that the Mother of God, as she was a virgin in conceiving Him and a virgin in giving Him birth, did she remain a virgin ever afterwards. ST III Q. 28, A. 3.

One of the most intriguing figures in the New Testament is St. Paul.  Most commentators spend their lives speaking of Paul’s theology and his relationship with Christ.  But Paul was also a leader who left a legacy of leadership to his followers and one of his closest disciples was Titus.  In Paul’s letter to Titus we find the heart of a leader speaking to his leader about the task he has appointed him,  In Paul’s own words a leader is God’s steward.

DGT Episode 172 - St. Paul’s Leadership Legacy III - Part 1 Leaders Are God’s Stewards

Sometimes it can feel like we just need to get through Lent as easily as we can. But if we succumb to the temptation to take the easy route, we are losing an opportunity to become a better man and a better Christian. That’s why Victor and I sat down to talk about how to make this Lent really worth your time and sacrifice by finding the “one thing” that is most harmful to your relationship with the Lord. Once you know what is standing between you and God, you can get rid of it. That’s what Lent is for.

In this episode you’ll learn:
- What Lent is really about, and why we give things up.
- Why we need to suffer during Lent.
- How to pick something that’s really going to make you a better man.
- How Jesus helps us in our sufferings.
- And more!
