"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?

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.

Heroic Discipleship Summit

"Envy is the assassination of brotherly love." - Archbishop Fulton Sheen 

A blessed Lent to you all! This week kicks off a new Lenten Series on the 7 deadly sins from John and Victor. In this week's episode we begin our Lenten journey as John and Victor discuss envy, one of the seven deadly sins that goes unnoticed but can undermine our spiritual health. The guys share their own personal battles with envy, revealing how it has manifested in their lives and the struggles they've faced in overcoming it. They remind us that we are not alone in our imperfections and that envy is something we all struggle  with in our lives The two also discuss the transformative power of genuine sacrifice and how true spiritual growth often requires us to give up not just the superficial things but also those deeper attachments, sins, and wounds that keep us from fully embracing God's will. They explore the concept of internal cleansing, drawing a compelling parallel between decluttering our physical spaces and tidying up our inner lives.  Grab a seat in the pew and listen in to find out how to offer up your struggles with envy and how to combat it by living a life of gratitude. 

In this episode you will hear:
-The difference between giving up and offering up 
-What the catechism says about true sacrifice
-The deadly sin of envy and how we all struggle with it 
-How to combat the sin of envy and offer up those struggles to God this Lent

November monthly update

John Michael Lucido is a regional director at FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students), where he and his wife serve the Lord by accompanying others, including fellow missionaries. John Michael shares how he tried to find acceptance in the wrong places as he started college and soon had to take a step back to reset his priorities and put God back at the forefront. He reflects on the powerful legacy of great Catholic men who came before him and how we are all standing on the shoulders of the men and women who carved this path for us. This is a story of God’s mercy and His pursuit of true relationship with each of us. Fun side note - John Michael was a former student of Paul’s back at Jesuit Preparatory School in Dallas, and they recounted some of the fun adventures and memories they shared from those days. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the dudes must take on the persona of someone who shares too much info to address the prompt, “A little know Bible story.” The TBD Question of the Day asks John Michael and the Dudes to reflect on what they each remember from their own Baptisms.

Big Man on Campus Undergoes Spiritual Renewal | John Michael Lucido | Episode #097

There are so many reasons for us to be upset today – to be discouraged today – but there are even more reasons for us to be hopeful.  And St. Peter, the leader, demonstrates the role of leadership in inspiring and encouraging hope even in the darkest times.

He got into martial arts in high school and competed in Tae Kwon Do in college, along with a little Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. That got him heavily into fitness and especially kettlebells, which led to him starting various fitness platforms and writing books related to minimalist methods of strength and conditioning. On the faith side, he has an amazing reversion story and next month will mark the release of his fifth book, this one to be titled, "The Best Argument For God."  He also has his own podcast that teaches listeners why it's better to be better at many things, not best at just one, covering everything from fitness and mental health to business and writing to philosophy and theology.

In my work helping cultural and business leaders grow deeper in their faith, I have had the occasion to preach several times on the life of St. Peter.  I would like to share some of my thoughts with you now – looking at Peter and asking ourselves what was his leadership style?  How did God use and form him to be the rock upon which he built his church?

In Session 3, we saw the four leadership roles that have been entrusted to men and the five leadership characteristics necessary to fulfill these roles. Most of us struggle to live authentic leadership. The story of King David gives us hope.

King David became “a man after God’s own heart” not because he was innocent of sin, but because having sin, he encountered the Father, rich in mercy, and allowed him to expand his heart to all that it was created to be.

TMIY has developed 7 Steps to put you on a spiritual pathway. Within these simple steps, there is incredible depth and beauty. They have the power to make you “a man after God’s own heart.”

A Dram with John Paul

Scripture speaks throughout of marriage and its 'mystery,' its institution and the meaning God has given it, its origin and its end, its various realizations throughout the history of salvation, the difficulties arising from sin and its renewal 'in the Lord' in the New Covenant of Christ and the Church. We wrap up Marriage Week talking about The Biblical Foundations of Matrimony and Soulful Psalm 25:8-16

The Biblical Foundations of Matrimony Pt 4

This week on Living the Call, Deacon Charlie sits down with Jason Simon: husband, father of six and President of The Evangelical Catholic. After briefly working in engineering, Jason served as a parish Director of Religious Education and Youth Ministry. There, he saw the power of evangelization and his passion to see more lives impacted by the Holy Spirit.&nbsp;In this episode, Deacon talks with Jason about his work at The Evangelical Catholic. Under Jason’s leadership, The Evangelical Catholic equips Catholics not only to be disciples, but vibrant witnesses and disciple-makers in the world: sent out to bear fruit for the Kingdom through the life-changing love of Jesus.&nbsp;
