Have you ever had a day at work when you thought to yourself, “this sucks”? Basically everyone would say yes. Work is challenging in more than one way, and it is both an inevitable part and a significant part of life. But Jesus himself worked as a tradesman until he began his ministry at age 30. This suggests work can in fact be good! So, how do we sanctify our work?How can we take whatever job we have and use it to glorify God? This is not only possible, it is demanded of us C...

UFOS and The Demonic

What if the Ten Commandments aren&rsquo;t just rules&mdash;but a roadmap to joy, purpose, and spiritual strength? In this episode, Ed Van Buskirk shares the eye-opening moment at a men&rsquo;s group that launched him on a soul-stirring journey at age 48. When he couldn&rsquo;t recall all Ten Commandments, he decided he never wanted to forget them again&mdash;and that moment of humility sparked a ministry.&nbsp;
From rediscovering the power of keeping Sundays sacred to unpacking what it really means to honor your parents, Ed dives deep into the forgotten wisdom of God's laws. He reveals how each commandment is not just a prohibition but a pathway to deeper relationships&mdash;with God, with family, and within ourselves. Whether you're a faith-driven man searching for clarity or a leader in men's ministry, this conversation offers both challenge and encouragement to build your life on a foundation that lasts. Don&rsquo;t miss the stories, the humor, and the call to &ldquo;take back Sunday.&rdquo;

During a difficult season of life, Anthony D'Ambrosio saw a picture of St. Maximillian Kolbe's desk that sparked an instant connection. Today, Anthony is producing a feature-length film about the final days of Kolbe's life - - the days after Kolbe voluntarily took the place of another man to serve out a death sentence by starvation with a group of fellow captives at Auschwitz.Anthony's creative vision and story-telling ability are only matched by his quick wit and his ability to build faith-filled communities. This episode of the BeatiDudes weaves together the stories and adventures of many seeking all that is true, good, and beautiful.<h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a>joinsolidarity.com <a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</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 and Support Anthony:</h2><a href="https://www.tribeof.me/">Sherwood Fellows</a><a href="https://www.kolbespassion.org/">Kolbe's Passion, Triumph of the Heart </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>

INSPIRED by St. Maximilian KOLBE  | Anthony D'Ambrosio, Filmmaker | Episode #005

With everything going on in Ukraine, Fr. Dom and James thought it appropriate to expand on the Church's teaching on Just War Theory. What is it? Does it even matter? Is there such thing as a "just war?" Join us as we dive deeper into St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas' teachings on the foundation of the theory. The Church has guidelines that all should try and follow to avoid war and also once you are already in war. This is a fascinating episode that is applicable to what is going on in the world today. Don't miss it! Father Dom's Challenge: Pray for Ukraine. For most of us, that is all we can do. Your prayers do matter. If you are financially able, you can donate at these links: 1.

Ep 39 - Just War Theory

Like you and I, St. Philip Neri was inspired by the life and legacy of St. Francis Xavier. So much so that he wanted to follow him into India and evangelize, like Xavier. God, however, wanted Philip to go to Rome. I can totally relate to St. Philip here, and I’m confident that you can too! Ask our Father to show you what is keeping you from answering his call.

Ep 234 | Michaela Robinson | Do you really know Jesus?

From the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Dom challenges us to be a saint. Because really, what else is there? He also discusses the recent canonization of Saint Giuseppe Alamano and emphasizes the importance of striving for sainthood in our daily lives. He explores the divine nature of the Catholic Church, the significance of serving others, and the true essence of giving, which goes beyond material gifts to sharing the Catholic faith. Finally, he encourages us to embrace our call to be saints and to actively participate in the mission of the Church.

Fr. Gregory Pine, Fr. Patrick Briscoe, & Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress on the Power of the Rosary + Q&A

St. Thomas Aquinas is one of the greatest minds in the history of the world.  He wrote about authority and leadership in many different ways and in many places.  Today, I’d like to begin a series studying his thoughts on leadership and the impact that that can make directly on our modern-day leaders.  Join me on this exciting adventure as we begin a ten part series on the leadership lessons of Aquinas.

Every entrepreneur knows that having a good idea is only the beginning of the process.  To be successful you need to take that idea to market.  This involves production which involves people, organization, and year of hard effort.  At times the loneliness of the innovator can be so intense that we want to stop innovating altogether.  And yet innovation, novelty, beginning new things is part and parcel of the call to evangelize.  How does Christian grace sanctify the innovator’s solitude.

If you thought you have heard all the conversion stories out there and couldn't quite hear another one, think again. We were blessed and honored to have John Edwards, founder of Just a Guy in the Pew ministries and co-founder of Virtual Catholic Conference on the podcast to share his conversion story with our saintly listeners.  From ascending the ladder in his work to getting the girl and becoming addicted to drugs, John shares his journey in a gripping and heart-breaking way. I (James) have now listened to John's conversion story three times and I feel like I need to grab popcorn every single time.  John truly is a remarkable man who is doing incredible things for men all across the country.

Ep 37 - Interview with John Edwards, Just A Guy in the Pew, Part 1 - Conversion

If we look to sacred scripture for examples of great leadership many names come to mind:  St. Paul, St. Timothy, St. John, but what about the Virgin Mary?  Doesn’t her life have anything to teach us about leadership?  Independently of the various faith traditions out there what can we learn about leadership by looking at the life the bible presents us?  I think we can learn a lot.  In this second of a thirteen part series I want to peer into the leadership lessons of Mary’s early life and the solitude that made her strong.

Reflection on Healing with Doubting Thomas | Dr. Bob Schuchts

Sometimes Holy Week can feel like an afterthought.
We spend all of Lent looking forward to Easter, just wanting to hurry through this final week to get to the “good stuff.” But we need to remember: there is no Easter without Good Friday. There is no resurrection without the suffering and death.

Take a moment to realize that Christ died for you. Even if you were the only person on the planet, He still would have embraced His cross.
Don’t overlook Holy Week. It’s where the transformation takes place.
Join us in the pew to reflect on the divine love story of Holy Week.

Fr. Dom's Homs: Rise Daily - Easter Sunday

St Paul instructs us to give thanks in all that we do. But is that really possible? In this special Thanksgiving episode, Join us in the pew to reflect on how even during the times of pain and turmoil, we are called to give thanks. Gratitude is not just a feeling, it is a posture grounded in our identity as God’s beloved children.

Even when life feels overwhelming, gratitude softens the heart, strengthens relationships, and opens us to God’s grace.

This Thanksgiving, take a moment to recognize God working for good, even in the hardest seasons of life.

Please say a prayer for John's father, Don.

James welcomes John Clark to discuss his latest book on the decline of marriage in the Catholic Church brought to you by TAN books titled "<a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/betrayed-without-a-kiss-defending-marriage-after-years-of-failed-leadership-in-the-church/?gc_id=17487855346&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAhc-sBhCEARIsAOVwHuTJUvuvE0Fzv-GeLbm1YnN5vWPOb_nNodN0gcxHAnP1jEm_IGxG-i0aArN3EALw_wcB" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Betrayed Without A Kiss: Defending Marriage After Years of Failed Leadership in the Church</a>."  Clark emphasizes the role of laypeople in educating and promoting the importance of marriage, both before and after the wedding ceremony. He emphasizes the need for support and encouragement from fellow parents and the power of prayer. He highlights the importance of living a sacramental life and the beauty of receiving the sacraments together as a couple. Lastly, he encourages listeners to share the beauty of marriage with priests and reminds them of the importance of strong marriages in the Church.Takeaways <ul><li>The Catholic Church has seen a significant increase in annulments and a decrease in Catholic marriages, indicating a crisis in the institution of marriage.</li><li>There is a correlation between the use of contraception and the high divorce rate, as contraception undermines the procreative and unitive aspects of marriage.</li><li>The decline of marriage is influenced by diabolical forces that seek to break up marriages and undermine the sanctity of the institution.</li><li>Lay people have a crucial role in defending and upholding the sanctity of marriage by challenging the Church hierarchy and promoting the importance of marriage education and preparation.

Ep 102 - Defending Marriage and Why The Church Has Failed Us with John Clark

EP 105 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Manny Gonzalez is back with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for a vulnerable conversation aimed at helping fathers when approaching tough topics. 
Building on his powerful Monday testimony, Manny shares how his own parents walked with him through his experience of being sexually attracted to men and how they held together Catholic teaching, real human tenderness, and a long-term relationship with their son.
The conversation dives into the language we use around same sex attraction, how parents can create a safe space for their kids to ask hard questions, and why waiting for one big version of “the talk” is not enough in a culture where kids encounter complex topics early and often. Manny offers concrete stories and principles that help dads speak truth without turning their children into projects, grounding everything in the reality that every son and daughter is first a beloved child of God.

Advice for Fathers Facing Tough Topics | Manny Gonzalez | Episode #280

Very few of the many recent books about Pius XII and the Holocaust are actually about Pius XII and the Holocaust.  The liberal best-selling attacks on the pope and the Catholic Church are really an intra-Catholic argument about the direction of the Church today.  Deacon Harold will break this down today and also look into Soulful Psalm 33.

The Church and the Holocaust

Heroic Parenting Summit: Devin Schadt

We all emulate other people. One of the most influential ways we learn behaviors, language, ways of thinking, etc. is by witnessing and copying the actions of others. Knowing that this makes a huge impact on our development and character, we need to be intentional about choosing who we look up to and who we imitate.&nbsp;
Bobby and Nathan discuss their own journeys of finding role models, both good and bad, and how that impacted them becoming the men they are today. They talk about ways to find good heroes, how we can be better role models for others, and the importance of recognizing the goodness in others.
Take time to think today: who is your hero?&nbsp;
To learn more, go to thosewhoseek.org and follow us @seeking 365. Be sure to check out our other episodes with Bobby!

Ep 26 | Who is your hero? w/ Bobby Angel

The secret of a great leader comes from his strength but where does this strength come from. Today I would like to reflect with you on St. Joseph, this incredible leader and his quiet strength which comes from a surprising source – from the mystery he contemplates.  A leader is as strong as the depth of his contemplation.

DGT Episode 7 - St. Joseph - The Contemplative Leader - St. Joseph Part 6

On today's Beacon of Truth, Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers discusses Eucharistic Miracles and Soulful Psalm 71:1-9.

Eucharistic Miracles

Even in the darkest moments, God is at work.

This week, join John and Victor in the pew as they explore the mystery of suffering and the surprising beauty that can come from it. From personal struggles and heartbreak to redemption and healing, they reflect on how pain can become a path to deeper trust, renewed purpose, and unexpected grace. Whether it's a lost job, a broken relationship, or hidden shame, God can transform our wounds into witness.

What feels like failure may be the very thing that opens the door to transformation. Grace often hides in the places we least want to look. It is there, in our lowest moments, that God begins His greatest work.

O Happy Fault!

"When you experience something really black, the bright spots can shine through, whereas before everything was just kind of gray."

In this deeply personal episode, we explore the reality of suffering - particularly when it involves our children - through the story of Jessie Rettinger and her youngest daughter Vivian's journey with a rare liver condition. Through our conversation, we examine:

- How God works through suffering to draw us closer to Him and our community
- The role of wisdom and prayer in navigating medical challenges
- The importance of advocating for our children in healthcare settings
- Finding joy and purpose even in dark moments
- The power of community support during difficult times
- Learning from children's natural ability to be present and find joy
- How suffering can strengthen rather than weaken our faith
- The beauty of "childlike faith" and what we can learn from it

Jessie shares her family's experience from the initial diagnosis during pregnancy through multiple surgeries, highlighting both the challenges and the "little miracles" that occurred along the way. She describes how this journey deepened her faith and helped her discover authentic joy through suffering.

We also discuss practical insights for parents facing similar challenges, including:

- The importance of specific, intentional prayer for our children
- Being open to accepting help from our community
- Learning to recognize God's presence in difficult moments
- Finding purpose through praying for others during our own trials
- Maintaining hope and joy while facing uncertainty

The episode concludes with Jessie's beautiful story about her daughter's simple, pure faith and her current work with Undivided Life, helping professionals integrate their faith with their work.

For those interested in learning more about Undivided Life's work, visit undivided.life

Remember to keep Jessie and her family in your prayers as they continue their journey.

When Your Child Suffers with Jessie Rettinger

We know what the world considers greatness for men; if you’re rich, famous, piling up accolades and running your life on your terms, you’re great in the eyes of the world. As men, we have a deep desire for greatness, but at the end of the day, if we’re not careful, we can look at our lives and think, “Man, my life is kind of irrelevant.”

Now, God bless the guys who can achieve those things. But the Church looks at that and says, “That’s good, but it’s not true greatness. That’s not what is celebrated in Heaven for eternity.” True greatness looks like Jesus, taking the position of a slave, emptying Himself on a cross so that we might have eternal life.

Join John and his guest, Renewal Ministries executive vice president Peter Herbeck, as they talk about how to pursue the greatness God values. 

And be sure to check out Renewal Ministries and the awesome ways they're helping folks pursue true greatness. https://www.renewalministries.net/

What God Calls Great w/ Peter Herbeck

Adversity has a way of revealing where we really turn for refuge. Reflecting on personal loss, including the recent passing of his father, John invites listeners to honestly examine how they respond when life becomes painful and uncertain. Drawing from Scripture, the Church’s teaching, and his own journey through grief, addiction, and healing, he challenges men to stop numbing their pain or handling it alone.

If you are walking through hardship right now, this episode is a reminder that suffering does not mean God has abandoned you. You were never meant to face it alone, and real strength begins when you choose to trust God, return to the sacraments, and let others walk with you.

C.S. Lewis wrote more than 30 books which have collectively sold over 100 million copies, including the Chronicles of Narnia series, Mere Christianity, and The Screwtape Letters. But of those thirty books, there was only one which Lewis described himself as "almost my favorite among my books," yet he was disappointed that "in general [the book] has been almost totally ignored by the public." The book was his prophetic text titled The Abolition of Man. It's an important book but one that many readers find dense and challenging. Thankfully, Michael Ward, one of the world's leading C.S. Lewis scholars, has stepped in to help. His groundbreaking new book titled <a href="https://wordonfire.org/humanity">After Humanity: A Guide to C.S. Lewis's 'The Abolition of Man</a> was just published by Word on Fire Academic. Today, Brandon Vogt sits down with Michael to discuss Lewis' original text and how Michael's new guide and commentary help readers make sense of Lewis's argument.

WOF 303: Which of C.S. Lewis's Books Was His Favorite?

Men, do you ever feel like your faith and career are worlds apart? What if succeeding in business could actually lead you to sainthood? In this episode of The Manly Catholic, I talk with Joe Valentic, Catholic entrepreneur and author, about blending professional ambition with spiritual growth. Joe shares his journey from cradle Catholic to faith-integrated leader, revealing how saints like St. Josemaria Escriva inspired him to view work as a path to holiness. We explore practical ways to invite God into your daily grind, from strategic prayer to discerning your gifts. As men called to lead, Joe challenges you to pray a 54-day novena to St. Raphael the Archangel for business discernment—starting today, even if you're unsure what to ask. Whether you're an executive, entrepreneur, or blue-collar worker, this conversation equips you to build success that honors God, strengthens your family, and advances the Church. Hit play to transform how you approach work and faith.

ECM Five Minute Maxims for Men - Seek the Freedom for Excellence

Today Deacon Harold is on the road bring us his dynamic side with a topic of how to be Rich in Mercy from the St. Elizabeth Catholic Church in Hiawatha.

Rich in Mercy

I love personal development as much as the next young driven professional, but there has to be a limit to how much of the toxic side we tolerate as consumers of content. 
 
Here is a simple truth: You were not made just to work. You were made to be in relationship with God and others, to love and to be loved - to become a saint. 
 
In this episode, I analyze two different clips from other shows that demonstrate a workaholic mentality and the emptiness in brings to human life.
