Hector Molina | The Motivangelist

Today John, Sam, and our guest, Gabriel Castillo, discuss the captivating journey from being an MTV trained sinner of the world to becoming an on-fire Catholic evangelist with over 20 Million video views online. From his early days of mocking Catholicism while attending St. Thomas University to a moment of divine revelation during Adoration, where he heard inexplicable things and was moved to tears, his life took an unexpected turn. Yet, he continued to grapple with living a sinful lifestyle and trying to be a holy Catholic man. It was a chilling demonic encounter that finally pushed him to seek redemption through confession, sparking a profound conversion.We then explore how to live a life aligned with Christ's teachings, the power of devotion to Our Blessed Mother to guarantee success in life, and becoming an instrument of Grace in the world. Drawing inspiration from the lives of saints like St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Francis de Sales, St. Louis de Montfort, and many others, you will be sure to learn a lot about prayer, devotion to Our Lady, and how to handle the tough challenges of life with peace and joy.Gabriel's Youtube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@gabiafterhoursTrue Faith TV - https://www.truefaith.tv🔴 Catholic Gentleman+ is Now Live - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com (Including a talk with Gabe Castillo and dozens of other content)🔴 🔴 Help Support the Catholic Gentleman - https://catholicgentleman.com/support Gabriel Castillo is a husband and father of four children. He is currently serving as the Director of Youth Ministry at St. Theresa Catholic Church in Texas. Gabriel is best known for his online work.

Why Our Course Works

Todd has over 25 years of business management and consulting experience in bringing digital and interactive initiatives to fruition through leadership, strategic alliances, processes, and technologies in industries such as media and entertainment. Todd holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in accounting from Texas A&amp;M. Born out of the loss of his daughter, Todd co-founded the Taylor’s Gift Foundation, an award-winning 501c3 non-profit focused on organ donation and grief support for donor families. Taylor’s Gift is a compassionate source of hope, ensuring donor families never have to grieve alone. The show starts with “Blessed are the Joke Makers,” where the Dudes must address the prompt “doubting Thomas wished he was known for _____” as a thrill seeker. You won’t believe how the points play out on this one. The focus then turns to talk of heroes, and Todd shares a powerful reflection about his own granddad, Harland Storch. And speaking of heroes, Todd and the team reflect on Todd’s son Ryan and his calling to discern with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal in NYC at the start of Covid. In his final reflection, Todd talks about his final moments sitting by his daughter’s side as they prepared for her organ donation, and he asked his brother-in-law to keep him accountable to live a life that honors God and others, regardless of what storms we face. <h2>Follow Todd &amp; Taylor's Gift</h2><a href="https://www.taylorsgift.org/">Taylor's Gift Website </a><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://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</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>

Case #05 - All In Your Head - Pt. 1

On today’s podcast we’re talking about the process (or steps) we can take to get back to God. Each week, men ask if there’s a formula they can follow to live an authentic Christian life. Luckily, the path to salvation isn’t complex, even though it can bring discomfort.

In this episode, we discover that:
- You don’t have to be perfect to be saved by Jesus.
- It’s important to realize that you can’t fix yourself, you need His help.
- The way is to believe in Him, repent, give thanks and commit to change.

Are you ready to get back to God? Take a seat in the pew and join us!

The Process

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss suffering, and how it should be received in your life.

Suffering

It is impossible for happiness to consist in honor. For honor is given to a man on account of some excellence in him; and consequently it is a sign and attestation of the excellence that is in the person honored. Now a man's excellence is in proportion, especially to his happiness, which is man's perfect good; and to its parts, i.e. those goods by which he has a certain share of happiness. And therefore honor can result from happiness, but happiness cannot principally consist therein. --- Objection 1. It would seem that man's happiness consists in glory. For happiness seems to consist in that which is paid to the saints for the trials they have undergone in the world. But this is glory: for the Apostle says (Romans 8:18): "The sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come, that shall be revealed in us." Therefore happiness consists in glory. Reply to Objection 1. The Apostle speaks, then, not of the glory which is with men, but of the glory which is from God, with His Angels. Hence it is written (Mark 8:38): "The Son of Man shall confess him in the glory of His Father, before His angels." Man's happiness cannot consist in human fame or glory. For glory consists "in being well known and praised," as Ambrose [Augustine, Contra Maxim. Arian. ii, 13 says. Now the thing known is related to human knowledge otherwise than to God's knowledge: for human knowledge is caused by the things known, whereas God's knowledge is the cause of the things known. Wherefore the perfection of human good, which is called happiness, cannot be caused by human knowledge: but rather human knowledge of another's happiness proceeds from, and, in a fashion, is caused by, human happiness itself, inchoate or perfect. Consequently man's happiness cannot consist in fame or glory. On the other hand, man's good depends on God's knowledge as its cause. And therefore man's beatitude depends, as on its cause, on the glory which man has with God; according to Psalm 90:15-16: "I will deliver him, and I will glorify him; I will fill him with length of days, and I will show him my salvation." ST I-II, Q 2. A2 &amp; 3. --- O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me. From the desire of being esteemed, Deliver me, Jesus.From the desire of being loved... From the desire of being extolled ... From the desire of being honored ... From the desire of being praised ... From the desire of being preferred to others... From the desire of being consulted ... From the desire of being approved ... From the fear of being humiliated ... From the fear of being despised... From the fear of suffering rebukes ... From the fear of being calumniated ... From the fear of being forgotten ... From the fear of being ridiculed ... From the fear of being wronged ... From the fear of being suspected ... That others may be loved more than I, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That others may be esteemed more than I ... That, in the opinion of the world, others may increase and I may decrease ... That others may be chosen and I set aside ... That others may be praised and I unnoticed ... That others may be preferred to me in everything... That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should… SPONSORS EL Investments: <a href="https://www.elinvestments.net/pints">https://www.elinvestments.net/pints</a> Exodus 90: <a href="https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/">https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/</a> Hallow: <a href="http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a> STRIVE: <a href="https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> GIVING Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

50: Should we call Mary the "Mother of God"?

Pints With Aquinas is fully fan funded. If you'd like to support PWA, click <a href="https://www.patreon.com/pwa">here</a> now. Thank you for your support. Here's the text from today's meditation: That Christ should die was expedient. 1. To make our redemption complete. For, although any suffering of Christ had an infinite value, because of its union with His divinity, it was not by no matter which of His sufferings that the redemption of mankind was made complete, but only by His death. So the Holy Spirit declared speaking through the mouth of Caiaphas, It is expedient for you that one man shall die for the people (John xi. 50). Whence St. Augustine says, "Let us stand in wonder, rejoice, be glad, love, praise, and adore since it is by the death of our Redeemer, that we have been called from death to life, from exile to our own land, from mourning to joy." 2. To increase our faith, our hope and our charity. With regard to faith the Psalm says (Ps. cxl. 10), I am alone until I pass from this world, that is, to the Father. When I shall have passed to the Father, then shall I be multiplied. Unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die itself remaineth alone (John xii. 24). As to the increase of hope St, Paul writes, He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things? (Rom. viii. 32). God cannot deny us this, for to give us all things is less than to give His own Son to death for us. St. Bernard says, "Who is not carried away to hope and confidence in prayer, when he looks on the crucifix and sees how Our Lord hangs there, the head bent as though to kiss, the arms outstretched in an embrace, the hands pierced to give, the side opened to love, the feet nailed to remain with us." Come, my dove, in the clefts of the rock (Cant. ii. 14). It is in the wounds of Christ the Church builds its nest and waits, for it is in the Passion of Our Lord that she places her hope of salvation, and thereby trusts to be protected from the craft of the falcon, that is, of the devil. With regard to the increase of charity, Holy Scripture says, At noon he burneth the earth (Ecclus. xliii. 3), that is to say, in the fervour of His Passion He burns up all mankind with His love. So St. Bernard says, "The chalice thou didst drink, O good Jesus, maketh thee lovable above all things." The work of our redemption easily, brushing aside all hindrances, calls out in return the whole of our love. This it is which more gently draws out our devotion, builds it up more straightly, guards it more closely, and fires it with greater ardour. Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode starts with an apology and an update. It’s been a wild stretch—hospital visits, birthday mishaps, broken teeth, truck trouble, cows and pigs headed to the processor—but also a lot of grace and gratitude.Adam shares about Lady Haylee's recent medical scare during pregnancy, the prayers from patrons, and what it’s like to walk through real uncertainty as a husband and father. The guys reflect on how quickly life can tilt from “normal” to “barely holding it together,” and yet how God can still anchor everything in hope and gratitude.Over whiskey (a Pseudo Sue malt from Iowa), Adam and David shift into the main topic: spiritual blindness—how easy it is for men to be convinced we’re right, standing for the truth, and yet be totally off the mark.Drawing from Scripture, the lives of the apostles, St. John of the Cross, Aquinas, and even Dante, they explore:<h4>In This Episode:</h4><ul><li>Real-life trials and gratitude</li><li>Haley’s hospitalization and recovery</li><li>Kids’ birthdays, chipped teeth, and car trouble</li><li>How chaos at home can either crush us or deepen our trust in God</li><li>Miracles, doubt, and the desire for “proof”</li><li>“If God would just give us a miracle, evangelization would be easy”</li><li>The everyday miracles we ignore: the Eucharist, confession, conversions</li><li>Why even those who saw Jesus’ miracles still doubted and fled</li><li>Spiritual blindness in the apostles and in us</li><li>Peter’s “I’ll never deny you” moment—and the fall that followed</li><li>The apostles missing who Jesus really is, even after years of walking with Him</li><li>Looking back on friendships and seasons of life and realizing, “I was blind to how unhealthy that really was”</li><li>How our culture and attachments distort our judgment</li><li>Bringing politics into our faith and letting ideology outrank the Gospel</li><li>The overworking dad: when “providing” becomes an excuse to avoid the harder work of fatherhood</li><li>Attachment to success, busyness, and being “the guy” who makes everything happen</li><li>The “theology guy” who knows tons about the faith but never actually prays or serves</li><li>St. John of the Cross and Aquinas on blindness of mind</li><li>Disordered attachments as a cause of spiritual blindness</li><li>Misapplying first principles and deforming prudence</li><li>Why ignorance isn’t always innocent—especially when it’s chosen</li><li>Dante, betrayal, and why some wounds cut so deep</li><li>Why Dante places traitors and betrayers at the bottom of hell</li><li>The pain of realizing someone you trusted was not who you thought</li><li>How misplaced trust in people can tempt us to distrust God</li><li>Practical ways to grow in spiritual clarity</li><li>Daily (or even twice-daily) examination of conscience</li><li>Honest fraternal correction and asking your friends to tell you the truth</li><li>Living a real ascetical life: fasting, temperance, and taming appetites</li><li>Submitting your judgment to the Church instead of making yourself the standard</li><li>Turning to the sacraments—especially confession and the Eucharist—for renewed vision</li></ul> Along the way, you’ll also hear:<ul><li>A story about accidentally using cardamom instead of cinnamon on a first date</li><li>The strangely satisfying joy of a perfectly vacuumed game room</li><li>The quiet fulfillment of husbandry—raising animals, caring for land, and stewarding what God has given</li></ul> This episode is an invitation to ask hard questions:<ul><li>Where am I convinced I’m right, but might be deeply wrong?</li><li>What am I attached to that clouds my judgment?</li><li>Who do I trust enough to tell me what I don’t see about myself?</li></ul> If you’ve ever looked back on a season of life and thought, “How did I not see that?”—this conversation is for you.

Spiritual Blindness, Busyness, and Becoming Better Men

This Ash Wednesday, Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen go straight to the heart of Lent’s first command: repent and believe.

We're focusing on two concrete actions that we avoid until we're desperate: a real examination of conscience and a clean, simple confession. Not scrupulosity. Not vague generalities. An honest inventory of blind spots, weak spots, compromises, and missed opportunities for virtue.

How Shoehorned Interpretation Led Away from Protestantism

On this week's episode, Victor and John talk about what it means to take a closer look at ourselves (and not to check for tics!)

In this episode you will hear about:
- Giving ourselves a pass from our responsibilities
- Bringing darkness into the light

Examining Your Life

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor talk about how Covid-19 has given us the freedom to slow down and remember what is really important in life.

Freedom

Our “but”s keep us from becoming who we are made to be. After a raw, inspiring phone call with a college student, Victor and John discuss the impeding lie that “we are not worthy enough”. 
Because if you believe in Christ and the things that he told us, and that you are called, you need to rest in that. 

In this amazing episode, you will hear about:

- Voids, filling them or aching because of them
- Matthew 10:19
- Being a viable tool for God’s message!
- The importance of our brokenness

So You Don't Feel Worthy, Huh?

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.

I get asked about working at Hallow constantly. What is the culture like, how did I get the job, what do I love, what do I not love. I finally just wrote it all down. In this episode I read my latest Substack article that covers my full journey to Hallow, what the last five years have been like, and what you actually need to know if you are thinking about applying. I also get into why I love working somewhere that is both mission driven and ruthlessly committed to excellence, and why that combination is not for everyone. If you want to work at Hallow, start here. And then go apply.

2023 - TIme To Begin Again

For so many working Christians, it’s too easy to get overwhelmed by the distractions of daily living. The 3-Minute Reset is a simple, daily discipline focused on spending a moment in thought and prayer, and rediscovering the peace that is always available to us. Hosted by Pat Lencioni and Chris Stefanick.

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic FatherToday we witness the Passion of Jesus Christ which He willingly suffers for the salvation of man. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to build the Virtue of Sacrifice so he can heroically sacrifice to build Christ’s Holy Catholic ChurchWe’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to seek the Gift of Piety from the Holy Spirit so he can have a deep personal contrition when he denies God in his life.

Either, you’re in need of further education and you’ll know exactly where you want to go, OR you’ll wish you needed further education.Travis and Rigel certainly feel the latter after chatting about the Catholic Institute of Technology with Dr. Jeff Kleck, Dean of Academics.Catholic Tech is a new American university situated in Castol Gandolfo, right next to the Papal palace.

What We Can Learn From Early Eastern Christianity in 2026

"I went from reading only business and political stuff to tearing through spiritual books. After my conversion experience, I had an all-consuming desire to be closer to God, to go into the desert for healing, to allow Him to work on me and transform me. It was like a very powerful magnet just pulling at me. I wanted to give myself completely to God because He had given Himself completely to me."Today we're joined by John Cannon, founder of Sent Ventures, whose remarkable journey took him from...

Chastity in Today's Culture w/ Jason Evert

The Chair of St. Peter is empty, the world is watching, and the Church is praying. 
In this episode of They That Hope, Father Dave and Deacon Bob reflect on the death of Pope Francis and the moving events surrounding his funeral in Rome. From the emotional procession through the streets—past landmarks like the Colosseum and the TOR friars’ house—to the intimate ceremony at St. Mary Major, they recount moments that highlighted the late Holy Father’s love for the poor and his devotion to simplicity. 
With the conclave just days away, the hosts also look ahead to what’s next for the Church. Will we see the first Italian pope in nearly 50 years? What does the increasingly global College of Cardinals mean for the future of the papacy? And what role does the Holy Spirit truly play in the selection of a pope? 
Of course, it wouldn’t be They That Hope without a few tangents—this week includes Deacon Bob’s snowy NBA playoff experience in Cleveland (Cavalanche!), draft-day drama from the NFL, and the 20th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith (yes, Bob saw it in theaters—no, he didn’t wear a Jedi robe... but he wanted to). 
They also reflect on the feast of St. Joseph the Worker and its bold stand against communist ideology, the forgotten value of learning for its own sake, and the cultural obsession with work and identity. 
As the Church prays “Come, Holy Spirit” over the conclave, Father Dave and Deacon Bob invite listeners to join in hope—and in prayer for whoever the next successor of Peter will be. 
 
Highlighted sections 
(00:00) Cavalanche! NBA Playoffs and Draft Drama  
Deacon Bob kicks things off with tales from a <a href='https://www.nba.com/cavaliers'>Cleveland Cavaliers</a> playoff game—complete with fake snow and “Cavalanche” chants. The duo also dives into the <a href='https://www.nfl.com/draft/'>NFL Draft</a>: its surprising popularity, emotional player stories, and one disturbing prank call that made national news. 
(17:37) Star Wars Nostalgia and the Return of the Sith  
Deacon Bob celebrates <a href='https://www.fandango.com/star-wars-episode-iii-revenge-of-the-sith-20th-anniversary-re-release-2025-239973/movie-overview'>Revenge of the Sith's 20th anniversary</a> with a trip to the theater, reflecting on movie memories, lightsaber-worthy soundtracks, and how the prequels might’ve aged better than expected—at least compared to the sequels. 
(22:03) Farewell, Holy Father: Remembering Pope Francis  
Father Dave shares moving moments from <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKCrieyrgaE'>Pope Francis’ funeral and procession through Rome</a>—from the Popemobile carrying the casket past the Colosseum to the tender welcome from the poor outside <a href='https://www.basilicasantamariamaggiore.va/en.html'>St. Mary Major</a>. The hosts reflect on the pope’s legacy of humility and love for the marginalized. 
(25:32) What Comes Next: The Conclave and the Future of the Papacy  
As the cardinals prepare to elect the next pope, Father Dave and Deacon Bob discuss possible frontrunners, the global diversity of the College of Cardinals, and how the Holy Spirit works through discernment—not magic. And yes, there are betting odds. 
(29:05) The Holiness of Work: St. Joseph and Vocation  
In honor of the <a href='https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-of-the-day/saint-joseph-the-worker/'>Feast of St. Joseph the Worker</a>, the hosts explore the Church’s response to communist ideology, the dignity of labor, and the need to recover the joy of learning and working for its own sake. 
(34:12) May the Fourth and Prayers for the Church  
As Star Wars Day approaches, the hosts wrap with light-hearted banter and a heartfelt prayer for the conclave—entrusting the Church once more to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Leonine Forum Coming to DALLAS| Mitch Boersma | Episode #137

“Return to me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning; rend your hearts and not your garments.”   Rending garments refers to the ancient Jewish practice of tearing clothes as a physical expression of grief and anger in the face of death.  God wants more than just an outward sign of repentance—he wants our hearts to be torn, to be deeply repentant and sorrowful as a sign of turning away from sin and back toward the Father.  Deacon Harold and Fr. Pereti share more thoughts as we head into Ash Wednesday and the Lenten Season. Also looking at Soulful Psalm 17:8-12

Ash Wednesday

THE SLAYER OF DEMONS!...okay, that may not be a title given to St. Joseph, but it was a slip of the tongue by James and just maybe it will be added to his litany one day. For those of you who do not know, this is the year of St. Joseph as declared by Pope Francis!  This day and age is especially trying for families and most glaringly men. Turn to St. Joseph, the patron saint of our beautiful Church. St. Joseph is a man who was chosen by God to lead the Holy Family. He loved his wife and son more than anyone and his actions literally spoke volumes. There is now Josephology happening in our age! Some fun facts for you men about this incredible man: He is the patron saint of our beloved Catholic Church, unborn children, fathers, workers, travelers, immigrants, and a happy death. Feast Day: March 19th St. Joseph the Worker: May 1st, to counter the Communists' May Day by Pope Pius XII Month of March is dedicated to St. Joseph Wednesday (yes, every Wednesday!) is dedicated to him as well. For a man who wasn't venerated deeply in the Church until the 15th century, we are certainly trying to catch up! In this episode, James and Fr. Dom will dive into all things St. Joseph, this incredible man who was truly a man of silence. The Gospels don't record a single word of this man's life but his actions have been written about for centuries. A man who gets spoken to four times by angels is a man we all must emulate and listen to. Since he didn't say a word, we must follow his actions.  Join us to find out why St. Joseph was depicted as an old man in early Catholic art, why James thinks St. Joseph should have a title added to his litany, how much St. Joseph loved our beloved mother, why St. Joseph was probably a young, strapping man and what the Gospels say in regards to this fact, and how we can take St. Joseph's faith and pray to him for it! Father Dom's Challenge: Think before you act and speak. Ask the Holy Spirit to enter in the simple moments of your life (or even the chaotic times) to direct your words and actions to fulfill His will. Men, the Holy Spirit will never steer you in the wrong direction. St. Joseph, pray for us!

Ryan Schmidt, Director of Pastoral Renewal for the Diocese of Calgary, shares a powerful journey from a lukewarm, &ldquo;hollow&rdquo; Catholic upbringing to a life radically transformed by Christ.
After being challenged by a close friend, Ryan dove deep into the truth of the faith&mdash;rediscovering the sacraments and encountering Jesus in a way that changed everything. That transformation didn&rsquo;t stop with him. Through bold, simple evangelization, he witnessed his own brother and friends turn away from darkness&mdash;including occult practices&mdash;and choose the light of Christ.
Now, Ryan sees a new wave rising&mdash;people with no faith background actively seeking God and entering the Church. And his message to men is clear: evangelization isn&rsquo;t complicated. It starts with knowing Jesus, sharing your story, and inviting others in.
This is a call to step up, live with purpose, and bring others into the healing love of Christ&mdash;one conversation at a time.

Ryan Schmidt | From Hollow Faith to Bold Evangelization

We can look disciplined on the surface while still clinging to comfort, control, security, and the illusion that what we have is our own. This conversation gets underneath the act of giving and presses on the deeper question: what am I holding onto?

Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen talk about why almsgiving is more than generosity, why it exposes the heart, and how gratitude breaks the instinct to accumulate. If fasting teaches a man to master his appetites and prayer teaches him to abide in God, almsgiving teaches him to let go. It trains him to live open-handed before the Lord and to remember that everything he has has first been given.

This is not just about money. It is about attachment, trust, possession, and whether a man lives like an owner or a steward.

Catholic Executive CHARMS Future Wife with Myspace Message | with David Colletti | #046

Join Father Dom and James as they sit down with Dr. Dan Schneider to discuss all things spiritual warfare, spiritual combat, and how men can equip themselves and their families to fight the devil. He unpacks the insights from his new book, the Liber Christo Method: A Field Manual for Spiritual Combat, sharing the significance of spiritual discipline and order in our lives as men.  Dr. Schneider pulls from his military experience to draw parallels with Catholicism and why sometimes we need to "embrace the suck" and be a smashmouth Catholic. He reinforces the power of prayer, masculine spirituality, and the importance of order and ritual in spiritual warfare. As we navigate through this conversation, we delve deeper into his insights on authority in relationships, particularly the crucial role of a father in a family. We also tap into the poignant topic of suffering, discussing how it can be offered to God as a grace. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their faith and spiritual warfare. It promises to be an enlightening encounter that you won't want to miss.

What Happens When We Die? | The Creed (Pt. 11) | DM In this season finale and the last episode in our series on the Creed, Dave and Mario discuss the four last things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell. They dive into the differences between the particular and general judgments, what happens at the end of the world when Jesus returns as Judge, and what the glories of life with our resurrected bodies in the new heaven and earth will be. We will also discuss the importance of praying for the souls of our deceased loved ones, the tragic fate of the damned, and the need to be prepared every moment for meeting the Lord.Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David Hajduk- Sponsors -Logos - Verbum Takes Your Catholic Bible Study from Stumped to Stellar : <a href="https://bit.ly/3yYJZV3">LEARN MORE</a>Real Estate for Life - Real Estate for Life is a multinational corporation with 1,400 experienced, faith-based agents world-wide to connect you with a Catholic service provider who shares your values. <a href="https://bit.ly/3tTH3qR">LEARN MORE</a>- Resources -Take our podcast survey to help us make A Reason for Hope better for YOU!<a href="https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com/">www.areasonforhopepodcast.com</a> Visit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">www.arrayofhope.org</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">watch.arrayofhope.net</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

Ep 197 | Spiritual Excellence

In today's world, people are literally encouraged to divorce their spouse if they voted for a different candidate in the last presidential election. We are suffering from terrible division that is carefully crafted by politicians, the media, and the devil himself.&nbsp;
Sure, there are things we want to strongly agree on as Catholics and Christians, but is it possible to still disagree and ALSO get along and be friends? Jurell and I have proven that we can.&nbsp;
We have disagreed on things from how the Church shares teachings on same sex attraction to how we should respond to the pandemic. Each time we disagree, we engage in thoughtful discussion in which we truly seek to understand one another. Through this discourse, we almost always realize we agree on much more than we disagree on.&nbsp;
This has a great deal to teach us about evangelization, unity, and how we can heal our nation and Church. Check out today's episode to learn how YOU can start to create dialogue and build bridges with those who see the world differently than you.

We all deal with negative thoughts, but how we handle them makes all the difference.
Join John and Victor in the pew this week as they discuss the power of preaching truth to yourself during moments of doubt. When you face negative self-talk head-on and learn to parry those attacks, it can lead to true spiritual resilience. Life isn’t easy, but we are called to face each challenge with strength and trust in the Lord. Speak truth to yourself and keep moving forward.

Love Includes the Human Body w/ Lisa Hendey

Does modern science point to God? In this powerful episode of&nbsp;A Reason for Hope, Dr. David Hajduk sits down with renowned Catholic priest, philosopher, and physicist&nbsp;Fr. Robert Spitzer, SJ. He explains why today’s discoveries in physics and cosmology strongly support the existence of a Creator. Drawing on cutting-edge research, Fr. Spitzer shows why&nbsp;multiverse theories fail&nbsp;to explain the extraordinary fine-tuning of the universe. From the precise constants of physics and chemistry to the mathematical improbability of a life-permitting cosmos, the evidence points beyond chance and material causes. As Fr. Spitzer explains, the data increasingly suggests the work of a&nbsp;“super-calculating intellect”&nbsp;behind the universe itself. This episode also explores why a growing number of&nbsp;physicists, scientists, and medical doctors&nbsp;now believe in God—and why younger scientists are embracing faith at even higher rates. Using insights from leading figures such as&nbsp;Stephen Hawking,&nbsp;Thomas Hertog, and&nbsp;NASA scientist Robert Jastrow, Fr.

Can Science Prove the Existence of God?

Sooner or later, every believer runs into a collision between what we hoped God would do and what He is actually doing. In this episode, John continues his reflection on grief and adversity by diving into one of the hardest realities of faith: wrestling with God when trust clashes with fear and our need for control.

If you are in a season that feels confusing, unfair, or out of your control, this episode is an invitation to stay in relationship, pray honestly, release control, and let the struggle refine you. Wrestling with God is not the end of faith. It may be the beginning of deeper trust.

How to Devil-Proof Your Life | Monsignor Stephen Rossetti | R4H

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father Today we hear Jesus, confront the sinful Jewish leadership who are seeking to kill Him and reveals that they are sons of the devil. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to build the Virtue of Hope so he can always pray for the salvation of non-Catholic Christians. We’ll also consider the need for every Catholic man to seek the Gift of Knowledge from the Holy Spirit so his free will is guided by the Spirit.

Episode 52 - Jesus harshly rebukes evil non-believers and reveals their father is Satan - Wednesday March 29, 2023 - Jn 8:31-42

Rediscovering a Catholic imagination means rediscovering the possibility of seeing things in a new way. How do we view the day to day work that we do?  Do we look at it from below according to our perspective or from above according to God’s? In this series on the spirituality of work I want us to learn to look at things through God’s eyes.

Is it ever necessary to label ourselves? Is it ever ok to label anyone else? Not according to internet celebrity and spoken-word poet, Prince Ea, whose viral video entitled "I Am Not Black, You Are Not White" claims that labels are the root of all social ills and that our identity is entirely separate from our physical reality. The video has reached over 100 million views on Facebook and over 11 million views on Youtube with an overwhelming approval rating (300 to 1 like to dislike ratio). The most liked comment on Youtube reads, "They showed this to us in school." In this episode of The Word on Fire Show, Bishop Barron critiques each segment of the argument posed by the young poet and explains the philosophical history behind this radical, yet widely accepted argument.

The Lent Gospels: The 4th Sunday of Lent

Brothers, this episode of The Manly Catholic is unlike any other. I come to you with a heavy heart, grieving the assassination of Charlie Kirk: a husband, a father, and a fearless warrior for truth. This isn’t just about the death of a public figure. It’s about the loss of a brother in Christ, a man who stood boldly in a culture that mocks our faith and hates everything we stand for as Catholic men.Why does this tragedy cut so deeply? Because we see ourselves in Charlie. We saw in him the courage we wish we had when the world presses in. He didn’t whisper his convictions. He proclaimed them from stages, debates, and airwaves. And he did it with both conviction and charity.Charlie Kirk was gunned down in cold blood. Let’s not hide from the truth: this was evil, this was diabolical, and it is proof that spiritual warfare is no longer lurking in the shadows but it is right in front of us. The gloves are off. The enemy has revealed himself. The question is, what will you do about it?As Catholic men, we are called to rise. To protect. To lead. To fight for truth and defend the defenseless. Charlie showed us what fearless faith looks like. Now it’s our turn. His light must not go out. It burns in us now.This is my tribute to Charlie Kirk, but it is more than that, it is a challenge. A challenge to stop being silent. A challenge to take up your cross. A challenge to be the kind of man God has called you to be.Products/References Mentioned:<ul><li><a href="https://tpusa.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Turning Point USA (founded by Charlie Kirk)</a></li><li>Scripture: John 15:18</li></ul>3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode<ol><li>“Charlie showed us what fearless faith looks like in action. And now I’m calling on all of us: what are we going to do about it?”</li><li>“Men, there is a deep calling in our hearts to be that man who says, ‘Get behind me. I will defend you.’ That is our God-given duty.”</li><li>“This is not just politics. This is spiritual warfare. You cannot celebrate someone’s murder unless you are in the deep, dark clutches of Satan.”</li></ol>Key Takeaway for MenStop being silent. Pray harder, live boldly, and defend the truth without compromise. Silence in the face of evil is no longer an option.<a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

John Frankman is a Catholic man who loves the United States of America. After spending several years in seminary at Mount St. Mary&#39;s University, he joined the US Army as an Infantry Officer. 
 
I first met John at the Mount. We then met up again during our Infantry training as well as during our time in Ranger School. John went on to do much cooler things than I did, eventually becoming a green beret in the US Army Special Forces. 
 
John had plans for his next assignment at West Point. All of his hard work seemed irrelevant to his commanding officers as soon as he made one pivotal decision in the fall of 2020. He made a choice based on his conscience and filed a religious exemption that was denied by some and ignored by others. 
 
In today&#39;s episode, John shares his experience of having his career come to an end due to an unlawful and immoral order.

What is the true nature of heresy, and how does it threaten the integrity of our faith? Join us for an eye-opening episode of the Manly Catholic featuring the esteemed Bishop Athanasius Schneider. We start by unpacking the etymology and severe implications of heresy as a violation of divine truth. Bishop Schneider, drawing from his latest book, shares profound insights into over 130 doctrinal errors throughout history and underscores the vital role of bishops as spiritual physicians. We also tackle the pressing issue of "cafeteria Catholics" who selectively follow Church teachings, thereby undermining the unity of divine revelation. Can excommunication be a form of love and protection for the Church? This engaging segment confronts the modernist heresy, which poses a significant threat to religious convictions today. By drawing parallels between spiritual health and disease, we argue the necessity of excommunication as a corrective measure. Modernism, rooted in Kantian philosophy and nominalism, is dissected for its dangerous impact on the stability of divine truth. Bishop Schneider passionately discusses the erosion of religious convictions and the acceptance of practices contrary to traditional Church teachings, reinforcing the importance of adhering steadfastly to doctrinal truth amidst cultural shifts. How can we truly appreciate the depth and beauty of Catholic truth? In this final segment, we delve into the divine origin and timeless teachings of the Catholic faith. From the Trinity to the Eucharist, Bishop Schneider emphasizes the importance of deepening one’s faith through prayerful reflection and meditation. We also have the privilege of introducing his forthcoming book, "Flee from Heresy: A Catholic Guide to Ancient and Modern Errors," set for release on July 16th, 2024. The episode concludes with a heartfelt blessing from the Bishop, inspiring listeners to continue growing in their faith and standing firm against modern heresies.

It's one thing to want to Dare Great Things For Christ and begin new initiatives and projects, it’s quite another thing to finish them.  The first stage in any initiative is dreaming, hoping, and aspiring for great things.  But carrying through our aspirations all the way to the end requires another set of skills.  It requires sacrifice, dedication, and just pure grit.  St. Paul embodied all of those qualities and gives us an example of leadership that continues to inspire us today.

Steven Thomas, author of Catholic Joe: Superhero, is back with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein to talk about the beauty of marriage. After the sadness of his parents’ divorce when he was young, Steven’s heart was galvanized to fight for marriage. He has been married for 34 years and has eight living children. Steven wrote Catholic Joe: Superhero to show the beauty of marriage and make the Church more inviting. His advice for men, married or not, is to turn to St Joseph, follow the church teachings, and pray the family rosary. Catholic Joe is the first book in the series. Lieutenant General Joseph Salvatore, husband and father of a large family, is a man’s man. At age 48, he is still considered one of the deadliest men on the planet, able to kill an enemy with his bare hands and with the same hands tenderly caress his wife and children. Joe brings this same lethal intensity as he fights to save his youngest brother's marriage. In fighting for his brother, Joe, later deemed Catholic Joe by a reporter, uncovers corruption in the government and his church.During this bonus episode, The BeatiDudes and Steven Thomas declare that “thou shall consider every kid a miracle” before taking an unexpected call from a former BeatiDudes Super-Guest, Fr.

Friends, today we share a sample lesson from Bishop Barron's new Word on Fire Institute course titled <a href= "https://wordonfire.institute/courses/churchfathers" target= "_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">"Reading Scripture with the Early Church Fathers."</a> In this course, Bishop Barron introduces the spiritual dynamics of Biblical exegesis in Origen and St. Augustine of Hippo. The Church Fathers did not separate Scripture and spirituality but saw the form of the spiritual life within the Scripture. As the key of the Scriptures, Christ is the key to the spiritual life. This course delves into the riches of how the Church reads Scripture, greatly inspired by the writings of Origen and St. Augustine.
