The story of Wilbur and Oliver Wright has captivated our hearts for more than a century.  In their lives we see an example of innovation being the first in flight and proving the impossible can be done.  But their story is more than just daring.  It involved a lot of planning and strategy and their ability to make good decisions.  St. Thomas Aquinas concurs.  Great leadership begins with great dreams but great dreams need great strategy for execution.

Special Announcement!

Today, John, Devin, and Sam are discussing something that—from our perspective—is quite possibly never proclaimed, discussed, or pondered by men in the Church today. Could this be the very reason why only 31% of Mass going Catholics believe Our Savior is present in the Eucharist? We want to be clear: today’s episode is not just another discussion about Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist, or a lamentation regarding the crisis of faith. We will be conversing about something so serious, so powerful that it could be the most dangerous and important thing you will ever do.<h2>Podcast Sponsor:</h2>Exodus 90 - https://exodus90.com/catholicgentlemanINCREDIBLE DEVOTIONAL FOR MEN: LEAD by Devin Schadt - <a href="https://store.catholicgentleman.com/collections/books/products/lead-daily-devotional">https://store.catholicgentleman.com/collections/books/products/lead-daily-devotional</a>🔴 Get this and watch the entire 1h 30mins of episode 167 here - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com🔴 Fr.

With a little time in the glass sitting idle (just a few minutes) the bouquet really opens up to it's full potential<h2>The Name</h2>Where did “Yippee Ki-Yay” come from? Is it a real expression of joy popular with cowboys in the 19th century Western United States? Is it part of the greatest one liner in movie history? Was it influenced by the phrase ‘Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay’ from the 1936 hit song “I’m an Old Cow Hand from the Rio Grande” about a 20th-century cowboy who has little in common with cowpunchers of old and sung by Bing Crosby in the film “Rhythm on the Range” (also sung later by Roy Rogers and Frank Sinatra) and considered one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time? We’re not sure. But we are sure we like how we feel when we say it... and recommend you use it every chance you get.<h2>Back Label Story</h2>We confess...we didn’t coin the term “Yippee Ki-Yay”. Moreover, we didn’t paint the picture on the front label. It’s an historic poster (Gift of The Coe Foundation and Henry B. Balink) now at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming (centerofthewest.org, you really ought to visit). Furthermore, we didn’t distill the whiskeys in this bottle - it’s our Double Rye! However, we did come up with a combination that we think will make you say...Yippee Ki-Yay drinkers of horrible tasting cheap flavored uisge beatha! One day, just for fun, we put Double Rye! into oak barrels that had originally been used to age two different types of wine and discovered an all-natural, not disgustingly-sweet sipper for the rest of us.<h2>About the gear: N/A</h2><h2>About our topic: Being a Catholic Man</h2>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIvpYzboddY&amp;w=560&amp;h=315]If this is your first time listening to The Catholic Man Show, we do 3 things almost every episode:TIME CODES:1.)

In addition to that journey, he also talks about a book he's writing - but not about his athletic endeavors.

James Baxter | Forming Fatherhood

As John Michael and his wife journeyed through their second pregnancy, they learned that their son would be born with Down Syndrome. Instead of running from this challenging circumstance, the Lucido family fully embraced God’s perfect gift to the world by naming their son Judah, which in Hebrew means “Praise be to God.” John Michael 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. Their work as a married couple with three kids serves as a model and a witness for young adults nationwide.This episode of The BeatiDudes is a testament to the power of faith and family and the beauty that comes from our complete surrender to God’s will.

Down Syndrome Diagnosis Provides Opportunity to PRAISE GOD IN ALL THINGS | John Michael Lucido | Episode #098

"The historicity of Jesus's Resurrection is important on a personal level in the same way as evidence from near-death experiences: it provides evidence of life after death, evidence that there is something transcendent about us beyond just our bodies, something that continues to live. Moreover, Jesus promised that he would rise from the dead, and that we would as well. Jesus keeps his promises."

Level 4 Evidence: The Resurrection

Preparing you and your family for Holy Mass

Many of you have asked for Bishop Barron's thoughts on the McCarrick abuse crisis, the Pennsylvania grand jury report, and the recent report from Archbishop Viganò. We're all devastated by the horrific suffering of these many victims, and we're all wondering what to do next. Bishop Barron shared some thoughts a couple weeks ago, in an article, but we thought it might be helpful to have a more candid conversation today, building on the <a href= "https://bit.ly/2od0uW5">USCCB's recent statement</a>. Listen to the discussion here, and together let's pray for the victims and the entire Body of Christ.

BONUS: Bishop Barron Q&A about the Sexual Abuse Crisis

How did Bishop Barron get drawn into the life of the mind? What are his reading and writing habits like? In this episode, he discusses the intellectual life and gives advice to aspiring intellectuals. A listener asks which literature books Bishop would recommend for a Catholic high school English class.

WOF 218: The Intellectual Life

Eye of the Storm
Jake Khym, a past speaker for the annual God Squad Conference in 2020, was able to share a few days on the road with Sean Lynn, riding a motorcycle through BC and western Alberta. He reflects on being quiet amidst the noise and activity of life with all its distractions. Silence is a great teacher of understanding God’s majesty and the beauty of His creation. #godsquad #cmla #riders

Matt Reynolds joins the BeatiDudes to discuss faith, family, and business as the co-founder and brewmaster at Celestial Beerworks in Dallas. Matt weaves together the stories of entrepreneurship with his journey to the Catholic faith while providing delicious samples of his beer and carbonated water to the BeatiDudes. This episode also contains a new beer brainstorming session that we are hoping to see come to fruition. And, like always, we push the podcasting envelope by surprising Matt with a beer-tasting challenge to see if he can identify the names of three different beers from his brewery.<h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a>joinsolidarity.com <a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Decided Excellence</a> <a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Undivided Life</a><h2>Support Matt Reynolds:</h2><a href="www.celestialbeerworks.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Celestial Beerworks</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Pencil Bureau </a>

He believed that the Catholic Church was run by Satan, the whore of Babylon, and that the anti-christ would come directly from the papacy. Our guest today, Jeremy Robinson, fought against Catholics and evangelized to win souls to Christ. However, one day while reading the Scripture verse, "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have," he was struck and realized he could not answer this question to atheists or agnostics. It was the beginning of his journey to become Catholic.He is now on-fire to bring everyone to the Catholic Faith while running a full-service video production company that makes videos for Mercedes, Google, IBM, Canon, Gillette, Marriott, American Airlines, and many more. This is a story of passion, fear, loss of friends, pain, and Grace.Cardboard Spaceship - https://cardboard-spaceship.com/🔴 🔴 Help Support Our Need for Professional Studio Equipment and get 3 Months of Free Access to CG+ - https://catholicgentleman.com/supportA thank you to SENT Ventures for bringing us together. 🔴 Catholic Gentleman+ is Now Live - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com Learn more about your ad choices.

A Dram With Jimmy Dee

A pitcher getting ready for spring training with the Chicago Cubs. He had been with the Pittsburgh Pirates organization from 2016-2020, having initially been drafted into Major League Baseball as a second round pick by the Miami Marlins. As a student-athlete he had played his college baseball at Arizona State University. He is also co-founder of an organization called Project Thirty Four. He's a very dedicated member of the Knights of Columbus too.

CSR 106 Trevor Williams

Dive into this episode with John and Victor, where they chat about the ups and downs of supporting their loved ones through major life milestones. This time around, they're celebrating the big wins of Lily and Angela, and they don't shy away from sharing just how tough it's been to get here.

In a candid discussion, John opens up about his journey with ten men who are finding their way out of some really tough times, weaving in the powerful image of the vine and branches from John 15:1-8. They talk about the tough love of pruning—how stepping away from what God wants can hurt but also help us grow, and how being alone too much can really put our spirits at risk.

The guys hit home with the idea that saying "enough is enough" is a turning point. They delve into the wisdom of Proverbs 18:1 and St. Francis of Assisi, who warned about the soul's search for quick fixes when it's troubled and lonely. They also bring up insights from 1 Peter 5:8-11, reminding us that everyone's got struggles, not just us.

Drawing on Henri Nouwen's thoughts, they discuss how healing starts when we share our pain and step into the fight against darkness together. They compare deep isolation to being in solitary confinement, where hope begins to fade, and stress how vital it is to stay connected to others—how we need each other to make it to heaven.

This episode is more than just a conversation; it's a call to anyone feeling stuck in their mistakes or swallowed by solitude. It's about finding hope and strength in each other's stories and remembering that no one has to go it alone. Tune in for some real talk, genuine stories, and a shared journey back to spiritual health. Whether you're looking for a bit of comfort, some understanding, or just a way back, this episode promises to be your companion.

In addition to all the good things like a faith community, prayer, worship, learning, and service, the most important thing of all is salvation. The Church’s primary mission is to continue Christ’s mission of saving souls here on earth. And as we have learned throughout this course, this offer of salvation is something we freely choose to accept and has implications for our lives.In this episode you will learn that ...■ The primary mission of the Church is to continue Christ’s mission of salvation here on earth after He returned to His Father in Heaven, which the Church, in part, accomplishes by providing an entryway into a relationship with God and the Church community — the Body of Christ.■ The Catholic Church is responsible for the canon of Scripture.■ In Jesus, God has given us a visible, concrete, human way of relating to Him, of entering into relationship with Him.■ The Church helps us encounter the Lord by teaching the proper interpretation of Scripture, at Mass, in the lives and writings of the saints, in retreats and devotions, in the prayerful reading of Scripture, and through works of art and music that lead us closer to Christ and the Virgin Mary.■ The Church provides three vital ways for us to more deeply live in relationship with God and His community: worship, learning, and service.■ We can learn to best imitate Christ in our lives by looking at His example in Scripture, by engaging in Examen prayer, and taking part in a ministry in which we can imitate Him.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

203: Anxiety, Trauma and Addiction

God does not rest, He is always working. There are so many moments in our lives that we take for granted but God doesn't. He sees them, He is with us and He is working.

God works in all the moments, big and small, good and bad, He is there. Take some time this week to reflect on the different areas in your daily life where you can see God working. Remember you are not alone, He is with you!

#50  GOD IN YOUR LIFE

Something special about every act of leadership is that it makes us alone.  The famous phrase, “it is lonely at the top” applies well to leader in every state.  But is this just an accident?  Or is it in fact a blessing?  When Mary was chosen by God to be the Mother of God, she had to fill the task no one else could fill.  But she embraced it as being chosen by God and therefore holding His hand into the great unknown that he would lead her.  And so she becomes an example for Christian leaders in every age.

A Dram with Sean Blair

In this episode of “Pints with Aquinas,” writer Suan Sonna drops by the studio to chat about his Baptist upbringing, his initial embrace of leftist politics, and what led him to become a conservative Catholic. We discuss:  - Suan’s experience growing up as the son of a Baptist minister.  - How many arguments for abortion end up justifying infanticide.  - Where we find support for the papacy in Scripture.  - How William Lane Craig and Sir Roger Scruton helped Suan overcome his former liberal positions.   <a href= "https://pints.mattfradd.com/pwa-confessions-signup/">Sign up for my free course on St. Augustine's "Confessions"!</a>   SPONSORS Hallow: <a href= "http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a> STRIVE: <a href= "https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> Ethos Logos: <a href= "https://www.elinvestments.net/pints">https://www.elinvestments.net/pints</a>   GIVING Patreon or Directly: <a href= "https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/">https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/ </a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

7 Lost Catholic Traditions And Why We Need To Bring Them Back

On the first day of the calendar year, the Church celebrates The Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God. This day honors the Blessed Virgin Mary under the aspect of her motherhood of Jesus. With her great "yes" to the Divine Will, Mary effectively reverses the negative trajectory caused by the great "no" of the world's first woman, Eve. Today's episode of the Word on Fire Show discusses how Mary, the Mother of God, represents the New Eve who ushers forth the New Adam, the Savior of the World, Jesus Christ. The listener question asks about the perpetual virginity of Mary.

It's commonly assumed that J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, was an arch-conservative, a backward-looking person, and that he valued nothing that smacked of the modern day. But in a groundbreaking new book titled <a href= "https://wordonfire.org/tolkien">Tolkien's Modern Reading: Middle-earth Beyond the Middle Ages</a>, the first in our Word on Fire Academic line of titles, Dr. Holly Ordway reveals that Tolkien was a much broader reader than previously believed. He was quite familiar with contemporary writers and books, and those modern sources significantly shaped his Middle-earth stories. Today, Brandon Vogt interviews Holly about her new book and some of the modern writers Tolkien enjoyed.

Heroic Men welcomes Dr. Ed Tse, founder of <a href="https://aiparenting.live/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AIParenting.live</a>, to discuss AI's impact on society, specifically focusing on the challenges it presents to men's mental health and connections. Dan Donaldson welcomes you to this online event, emphasizes Heroic Men's mission to strengthen ministry to men across North America. Dr. Ed, founder of AI Parenting, shares his insights on AI and loneliness, highlighting the manipulation and isolation caused by AI-driven platforms.Key points discussed include:1. Manipulation: AI and social media are designed to manipulate users by showing content that maximizes engagement, often through sensational and emotional triggers.2. Isolation: Despite increasing connectivity, social media often leads to superficial connections and deeper feelings of loneliness.3. Navigation: To navigate the digital landscape, individuals need unshakeable beliefs and values to anchor themselves amidst the constant manipulation.4. Personal Data: Users must understand that sharing personal information online is akin to sharing their digital soul, which can be used to manipulate them.5. Decision Fatigue: Social media bombards users with countless decisions, draining their mental energy and affecting their ability to make important life choices.6. Emotional Control: Constant exposure to dopamine-inducing content on social media impacts motivation and mental health, leading to issues like addiction and reduced life satisfaction.7. Technology and Automation: Users must be cautious about what aspects of their lives they allow AI to automate, as it can lead to loss of control and increased manipulation.Dr. Ed encourages men to be proactive in their faith and digital interactions, urging them to share their stories and build authentic connections. The session concludes with a call to action for men to participate in the Heroic Leadership Summit and other events to strengthen their faith and community.

Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of Knowledge from the Holy Spirit so he can memorize and live by The 10 Commandments and by building the Virtue of Meekness so he can seek to live in the Beatitude of Meekness.
