A Dram with Dean Patterson

Replay Episode In our first interview, Brett sits down with Carey Nieuwhof who has been a pastor, teacher, & leadership guru for many years. They discuss God's calling to change careers & fighting against simply going through the motions. They also discuss what the Church can learn from her own response to the pandemic in retrospect. We may have adapted to meet the new challenges, but did we really innovate? This includes a discussion on the politicization of the Church. To close the conversation, they discuss burnout; when the functions of life continue but the joy of life is gone. Carey shares his personal story of dealing with extreme burnout, how he recovered from it & how you can avoid it.

Battling Burnout w/ Carey Nieuwhof (replay)

Today we’re talking about how challenging it can be to live in faith. Jesus asks us to put Him first in our lives, above everything else. We worry about what this means for our families and careers and what comforts we’ll give up in the process.

In this podcast, we learn that:
 - It’s important to be in constant conversation with God, from morning prayers to evening thanks.
 - Catholics have many tools to help us grow closer to God, such as Mass, the Rosary, and Adoration.
 - Asking God for forgiveness for past sins can get us back on track.

100 Things You Can Give Up For Lent!

EPISODE 174: One Body, One Mission

In this episode, John and Victor talk about the dangers of living the Faith alone. As you will hear, the  Battle of Amalek is the perfect example of this: we have a great need for other people in our life in order to do the Lord’s will with strength. 

In this episode you will hear:  
- Happiness is fleeting, but joy is constant. 
- We’re quiet about our issues and our problems. 
- What do we allow ourselves to be pulled apart by? 
- So much of our life, we spend waiting for somebody else to deal with problems that God has equipped us to deal with on our own.

How To Make Healthy Boundaries as a Catholic

For many people, making decisions is one of the hardest things about leadership.  And yet it is something that every leader has to do all the time.  Loving and serving our God doesn’t take away our responsibility to make good choices and to engage them with all the energy that we have.  But if it’s so important then why do we have such a hard time doing it?  St. Thomas Aquinas offers keen insight into how decisions are made and how love can turn a decision into a choice.

A Dram with Dennis Girard

John Edwards fell to his knees in a jail cell, and promised to turn his life around, if Christ would make a deal with him. 

In a world plagued by isolation and struggle, men are seeking authenticity and purpose. Men are grappling with issues such as addiction, lack of meaningful relationships, marital challenges, and a disconnect from Christ. The absence of genuine community and mentorship has left many men feeling like isolated warriors. We need is for a safe space where men can drop their façades, connect on a deeper level, and embark on a journey of spiritual growth. 

John Edwards reflects on his personal struggles with addiction and marital issues, his encounter with Jesus in a jail cell, and his commitment to sharing vulnerabilities and building authentic relationships among men. The narrative emphasizes the importance of men leading in faith and fostering a real connection with Christ, confronting issues like addiction, isolation, and lack of authentic friendship.

The mission is clear create enduring and impactful men's groups, build true community, and restore broken lives.

John Edwards is the founder and Executive Director of Pew Ministries, a Catholic apostolate with the mission of bringing the person of Jesus Christ to the person in the pew. John is also a Catholic speaker and evangelist that has spoken in Canada and across the United States. He is also the co-founder of Virtual Catholic Conference LLC. John currently travels the country helping men start life-changing men's groups providing them with leadership training. 

Why are we here? | John Edwards

For real… Do we believe in the power of the Holy Spirit the way the apostles did in Acts? Do we let our doubt prevent powerful acts of faith? Do we believe Jesus, who rose from the dead, can heal the broken? 

In this episode John shares about: 
- His experience of Healing at the “I Am Prayer Training” retreat
- The necessity of TOTAL belief to be a Christian 
- The power of the Holy Spirit that has been given to us! 
- Stirring our hearts like chocolate milk

Most of us think about giving up something for Lent. But take a second here. Are you just being guilted into it?

Are you giving up something because you feel you have to? Or are you actually trying to seek a relationship?



How is your Lent plan actually helping your walk with Jesus Christ?

Maybe you hadn't really thought about it. So let's do it differently this time. Maybe change it up. Add a 10-second prayer to your busy day.

What’s your plan of action this Lent?

Keep it simple. Keep it small. Actually get it done. *And make it count.*

Whatever you plan, make it 50% easier - so that you stick with it.

We asked our Heroic Men team to share their Lent plans. And they did, on the forum. Press the button and read their plans.

Kapaun's Men Pilgrimage Series

Pope St. Gregory The Great has an enigmatic phrase at the beginning of Chapter 3 of his second book of his monumental work, “The Rule Of Shepherds.”  He says, “A leader must be first in all of his actions.”  Simply put this means a leader’s actions must be excellent, magnanimous, kingly.  There’s an indication and an expectation that those who lead live at a higher level of excellence.  But how does this call translate for a Christian today?

DGT Episode 144 - Called To Be Great - Gregory The Great Part 2

Father Dave and Deacon Bob come to this episode with heavy hearts, reflecting on the recent church shooting in Minnesota. They share Archbishop Bernard Hebda’s moving words of hope, grapple with the reality of evil, and talk about the call to persistent prayer. It’s a sobering reminder of the world’s brokenness—and of the hope Christians cling to when sorrow feels overwhelming. 
Yet, even in hard weeks, these two help listeners find joy and laughter: Notre Dame heartbreak, Ohio State bragging rights, Alabama’s shocking stumble, the NFL’s opening buzz, Taylor-and-Travis engagement memes, and even the joyfully bizarre antics of the Savannah Bananas. 
They also pause to look back on five years of They That Hope—from pandemic beginnings to Deacon Bob’s ordination and Franciscan University’s bold “Step in Faith” initiative—grateful for the unexpected gift of sharing life and faith through this podcast. As the show nears its final stretch, listeners are invited to share their favorite memories. Through it all, the reminder is the same: true hope isn’t found in scores or headlines, but in Christ who never abandons his people.

Hope in Tragedy

<h3>Naz, High School Chaplain and father of twin baby boys</h3>
Sean, wanting to encourage locally, pours himself a dram of Rupert’s Exceptional Canadian Whisky from Eau Claire Distillery, Turner Valley, Alberta Canada. &nbsp;Naz, on the other hand, needs all the supernatural help he can get to raise his twin boys, and so turns to Mystic Monk Tea while we enjoy this repartay.
Come and hear how an angry and cynical sometimes atheist, sometimes agnostic young Muslim boy has come to know the Peace of God, his conversion to Catholicism and how today he models fatherhood for students in the High School he works at as a Chaplain.

A Dram with Naz Kotadia

After a lifetime of leadership, effort, struggle, all of us want to leave a legacy behind that will be remembered.  When it is all said and done what will your life leave behind?  These are the questions that all of us face, King David was no different, and before he died he spoke to Solomon, his successor, and he gave him his legacy.  By looking at it we can get a better glimpse of our own.

S2-Case #11-Live Free-Pt 2

In this episode, James sits down with Ryan Flaherty, a local from Ada, MI who attends St. Robert's of Newminster parish. Ryan is a husband and father of two and is passionate about all things spiritual warfare. He is basically a spokesperson for Fr. Chad Ripperger (we are also guilty as charged) and wants to help men yell with a battle axe in one hand and the Rosary in the other hand. Or, give a good battle cry. Either one will work. Continue to listen to this multi-part episode as James and Ryan tackle why James is so awful at Christian rap music, do you pray for the right things every day, how complacency could in fact be today's man's greatest enemy, and how Ryan has encountered 5 separate demonic encounters.

Ep 40 - Interview with Ryan Flaherty, Part 1

In this week&#39;s episode of Catholic ReCon, testimonies from reverts and converts, guest Jeff Klem goes deep into this past, recalling dysfunctional beginnings, bad business, bouts with drugs, waves of addiction, a car crash, and darn near everything else under the sun. In the end, he finds the only thing that will satisfy the heart. I love my brother for his courage and willingness to share his very difficult journey to Christ.

How a Drug Addict's Merciful and Loving Experiences Led to Christ Conversion

For anyone who has tried it is obvious that leadership is not easy.  Besides skill and opportunity, a leader needs a tremendous amount of steadfastness and just plain grit.  In St. Paul’s First Letter to St. Timothy, we see St. Paul encouraging St. Timothy with the full realization that what he has commanded Timothy to do will be hard.  May the Word of God inspire us to persevere as well.

In this episode, Dr. David Hajduk gives his take on why, in order to be a faithful Christian, you must have a devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, offering a wealth of Biblical evidence. He also tackles the question of whether praying the Rosary can be considered "optional" for Catholics, once one considers the history of this prayer, its importance to Mary herself, and the teachings about Saints and Popes about it. ✨Join us on our mission! https://arrayofhope.org/donate - Support Our Sponsors -<a href="https://bit.ly/3CFdNIG" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Mother of Divine Grace School</a>&nbsp;- Founded by Laura Berquist in 1995, it offers a Catholic, classical approach to distance learning. - Connect with us -<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Facebook</a><a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Instagram</a><a href="https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Youtube</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/podcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Website</a> ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction02:59 The Rosary: Essential Devotion for a Faithful Catholic04:38 Why True Devotion to Mary Is Essential for Every Faithful Catholic07:00 Why Mary Deserves The Highest Honor: Reason #107:21 Why Mary Deserves The Highest Honor: Reason #208:32 Why Mary Deserves The Highest Honor: Reason #309:41 Why Mary Deserves The Highest Honor: Reason #410:53 Why Mary Deserves The Highest Honor: Reason #512:45 Is the Rosary the Most Fitting Honor for Mary?13:24 Did the Rosary Really Come from Heaven?14:14 Was the Rosary Heaven’s Divine Weapon &amp; Answer to Heresy?19:47 Mother of Divine Grace School21:52 The Rosary’s Miraculous Beginnings23:42 How the Rosary Changed the Course of History at Muret26:09 The Battle for Christendom: Faith and the Rosary in Action27:59 Pope Pius V, the Rosary, and the Battle of Lepanto29:44 The Rosary and the Defeat of the Ottoman Forces at Vienna31:50 Saints and Popes on the Power of the Rosary35:48 Why Devotion to Mary and the Rosary is Crucial for Salvation37:05 The Rosary: A Gift We Owe to Our Blessed Mother38:22 End

Heroic Minute - Season 5

We live in a world of constant noise. Phones, notifications, schedules, and other distractions keep us running without rest. And yet, so many of us cry out, “Why can’t I hear God?”

In this episode, John shares a personal reflection on how God speaks. Not through the noise, but in the silence, in the whisper. Drawing from Scripture, the saints, and his own story, he explains why we struggle to hear God’s voice and how we can return to the quiet places where He waits for us.

If you’ve been longing for direction, peace, or simply to know God is near, this episode is your invitation to slow down, be still, and listen for His whisper.

In the Whisper

Why do so many men find themselves struggling with the same patterns their fathers struggled with: anger, distraction, work obsession, emotional distance, lust, even despite promising they’d be different? The truth is, fathers pass far more to their children than they realize. Not just beliefs or values, but habits, tone, priorities, and ways of relating that quietly shape the next generation.

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John Heinen and Devin Schadt expose five hidden vices that fathers often pass on without ever intending to. They challenge men to see what their children are already learning from them, and how to break destructive cycles before they become generational.

What to Do if You Have Doubts About God? (Alisa Childers) | Ep.  216

<h1>Sister Mary Michael joins us for a conversation on Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, 12 steps, and our Mission.</h1><h2>Summary: </h2>In this episode, we welcome back Sister Mary Michael, a seasoned Dominican Sister from the Saint Cecilia community in Nashville, to Oklahoma for a heartfelt conversation. With over 35 years as a religious sister, she shares her passion for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, her work with Franciscan University, and her unique ministry with men in recovery. At a recent men’s conference, she introduced the power of the 12 Steps—rooted in Alcoholics Anonymous but universally applicable—as a practical path to freedom from destructive habits, paired with insights from Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Sister Mary Michael’s warmth, humor, and wisdom shine as she encourages men to embrace their God-given mission and reorder their lives with grace.<h2>Key Topics: </h2>- Who She Is: A Dominican Sister with a doctorate in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Sister Mary Michael works with four-year-olds on Fridays, teaches at Franciscan University’s Catechetical Institute, and speaks at men’s conferences. - Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: A Montessori-inspired, Hebraic approach to children’s faith formation, rooted in the pedagogy of God and the Church’s heart. She’s written a book on it and sees it as a growing movement (highlighted in the 2020 Directory for Catechesis). - Men in Recovery: Inspired by landscaping help from men in recovery, she’s taken their stories on the road, blending the 12 Steps with Ignatian spirituality to address universal patterns of behavior—addictions big and small. - The 12 Steps: Sister explores their accessibility and power, starting with Step 1: admitting powerlessness over habits (e.g., anger, control, manipulation) and unmanageability in life. She connects this to grace and personal transformation. - Universal Application: From vanity to strong opinions, we’re all “recovering sinners.” The 12 Steps offer a fearless moral inventory (Step 4) and accountability (Step 5), helping anyone break free from vices. - Grace and Nature: The steps align with the Church’s heritage—practical like the 12 Steps or spiritual like Ignatius—showing how grace perfects our disordered nature. - Men’s Mission: She challenges men to reject Satan’s distortions, embrace their masculine genius, and take action to live out God’s purpose.<h2>Quotable Moments:</h2>- “Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori Hebraic approach—it’s how God brings people to Himself.” - “I’m powerless over this, and my life’s unmanageable—that’s a grace right there.” - “I’m not taking that drink of criticism or gossip—it’s a shot of vodka to my soul.” - “God’s got a beautiful mission for you, and Satan’s not gonna leave you alone—so it’s time to do something about it.” <h2>Resources Mentioned: </h2>- Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: Learn more about this movement online or through Sister’s book. - The 12 Steps: Google them—read through and reflect on what challenges you. - Ignatian Spirituality: Explore how it aligns with the 12 Steps for deeper growth. <h2>Closing Thoughts: </h2>Sister Mary Michael’s eclectic life—from teaching kids to guiding men—offers a fresh take on recovery and holiness. Her practical, grace-filled approach makes this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking freedom and purpose. Thanks for joining us, Sister—God bless!

Biblical Devotionals for Catholics

Kyle Washut is the youngest Catholic president at the youngest Catholic college in America. Kyle, President at Wyoming Catholic College (WCC), joins The BeatiDudes for an adventurous episode full of surprises, including the unique approach that WCC takes to educating and forming its students. WCC is a “great books school” where every student starts their freshmen year by spending several weeks in the wilderness. They all receive the same degree, a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts. In addition to spending a semester on horseback, the entire student body memorizes a repertoire of poems and songs that unite them in the classroom and around the campfire. Kyle, a Wyoming native, has been with WCC since its inception. Growing up in Casper, Wyoming, he worked in nuclear missile silos and coal mines during his teenage years, receiving an AA in Political Science and a second in Spanish from Casper College in 2003. While in Casper, he studied under two of WCC’s eventual founders, Dr. Robert Carlson and Fr. Robert Cook. He began his journey toward Wyoming Catholic by serving as a dishwasher at the annual Wyoming School for Catholic Thought, where the idea for the College was first proposed.He graduated from Thomas Aquinas College in 2007 with a B.A. in Liberal Arts and returned to Wyoming (and Wyoming Catholic) as the inaugural Assistant Dean for Student Life—a position he held until departing in the Fall of 2009 to pursue a graduate degree in Sacred Theology from Austria’s International Theological Institute (ITI). While in Austria, he continued to work for the College, coordinating its inaugural high-school (PEAK) and adult education (WSCT) summer programs, before returning as a full-time professor in early 2012. Washut has taught across the College’s curriculum since his return—theology and philosophy, as well as her distinctive Trivium and Humanities courses. In addition to serving as Visiting Associate Professor of Patristics and Ecclesiastical History at St. Cyril and Methodius Byzantine Catholic Seminary in Pittsburgh, he has worked closely with a number of the College’s Administrative offices, including Admissions, Advancement, and the Outdoor Leadership Program (OLP).

2022 is right around the corner. What are you willing to do to become a better man and Catholic this new year?

- Tips for following God’s will even when the going gets tough.
- The danger of thinking that the Christian life should be easy.
- And more!

What Does Your Fiat Look Like?

Men, Jesus calls the devil ‘a liar and the father of lies.’ In this sense, Satan is a father—but only the father of falsehood and destruction. By rejecting God the Father, he has bound himself to a relentless hatred of fatherhood, carrying within himself an eternal, raging, self-inflicted father wound.

The Holy Catholic Church celebrates Pentecost - May 24, 2026 - Jn 20:19-23

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, reveal His unity with God the Father and His Divine Authority and Power to give faithful and repentant men eternal life. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to seek the Gift of Wisdom from the Holy Spirit so he can experience the joy and reality of the promise of Heaven. We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to build the Virtue of Charity and to be strengthen by the Eucharist so he can do many good works.

Episode 45 - Jesus reveals the unity of the Almighty Father and the Son and warns men of the consequences of the Judgment - Wednesday March 22, 2023 - Jn 5:17-30

In the ascent towards holiness and happiness, a Catholic man must build the good habits (Virtue, from the Latin, vir, meaning “manliness, moral strength, goodness, valor”) of the moral life and break the bad habits (Vice, from the Latin, vitium, meaning “defect, offense, blemish, imperfection”) which cause him to fall into sin and risk losing his salvation. The Church provides a comprehensive list of Virtues which fall into two major categories: Theological Virtues (Supernatural) and Cardinal Virtues (Human). Because it is impossible for a mere man ascend to Heaven on his own ability, God grants every Catholic man the supernatural help to grow in Virtue through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit which are freely available to every Catholic man who remains in a state of grace; even if a Catholic man falls into mortal sin and loses the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, he can repent, confess his sins in the Sacrament of Penance and return to a state of grace and regain access to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. What a man needs to break Vice and build Virtue is to come to understand Vice and Virtue and then seek God’s help. To help men understand Virtue and Vice and take concrete action, <a href='http://everycathoicman.com/'>EveryCathoicMan.com</a> has developed the Litanies of Virtue.<a href='https://everycatholicman.com/overview-of-vice-virtue-and-the-holy-spirit/'>To learn more about Vice, Virtue and the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit, go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a> <a href='https://everycatholicman.com/litany-of-fortitude-against-effeminacy/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Fortitude go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a>

Debates, Apologetics, and Answering Atheism (Gavin Ortlund & Trent Horn) | Ep. 392

Trusting in God. We hear this statement countless times throughout our life. Oftentimes, we hear it so much it can, unfortunately, fall on deaf ears. We are all guilty of this. No matter how we are progressing in this life the struggle to take life by the horns and do it all our way is constantly lingering in the back of our minds. But, how often does that actually work? If you think about it, when you do everything on your own without even consulting God, do you truly appreciate what you accomplished? You might give 100% to a project at work but neglect your family in the process. You might give 100% into the sport you are training for but neglect your schoolwork. Without surrendering it all to God, you will never accomplish your goals in life and truly feel satisfied in the process. Surrendering your life to God will allow you to grow in virtue, to become a saint.  Listen to this amazing talk by Chuck Swindoll on trusting God and how we can apply that to each and every aspect of our lives today.  James Challenge! Take 5 minutes a day and just stop, think, and reflect on the areas in your life that you are trusting God and those areas in your life you are holding on to. What is holding you back from giving it to God? Why are some areas easier in your life to give to Him and other areas more difficult? Journal, talk with a friend or spouse and make a commitment to surrender it all over to God. Trust....God. He will never let you down! Thank you to our partners at Hallow!

Ep 21 - Trust....God

In the ascent towards holiness and happiness, a Catholic man must build the good habits (Virtue, from the Latin, vir, meaning “manliness, moral strength, goodness, valor”) of the moral life and break the bad habits (Vice, from the Latin, vitium, meaning “defect, offense, blemish, imperfection”) which cause him to fall into sin and risk losing his salvation. The Church provides a comprehensive list of Virtues which fall into two major categories: Theological Virtues (Supernatural) and Cardinal Virtues (Human). Because it is impossible for a mere man ascend to Heaven on his own ability, God grants every Catholic man the supernatural help to grow in Virtue through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit which are freely available to every Catholic man who remains in a state of grace; even if a Catholic man falls into mortal sin and loses the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, he can repent, confess his sins in the Sacrament of Penance and return to a state of grace and regain access to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. What a man needs to break Vice and build Virtue is to come to understand Vice and Virtue and then seek God’s help. To help men understand Virtue and Vice and take concrete action, <a href='http://everycathoicman.com/'>EveryCathoicMan.com</a> has developed the Litanies of Virtue.<a href='https://everycatholicman.com/overview-of-vice-virtue-and-the-holy-spirit/'>To learn more about Vice, Virtue and the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit, go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a> <a href='https://everycatholicman.com/litany-of-temperance-against-gluttony/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Temperance go to EveryCatholicMan.com</a>.

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, warn men not to falsely judge, condemn and bear grudges against others so that a man justly and generously gives to others. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to grow in the Virtue of Kindness so that he can perform many small acts of kindness every day of his life.  We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to reject wrath and grow in the Virtue of Meekness so he respond to difficult people and situations with gentleness, patience and forgiveness.

A Dram with Dan Donaldson

Are we ready to face death fearlessly? In this Easter Vigil homily, Fr. Dom dives into the core of our faith: Christ’s triumph over death. This isn’t myth; it’s history that transforms us. From the world’s chaos to the Easter candle’s light, Fr. Dom unpacks the liturgy’s power and challenges you to live the resurrection daily. This year, thousands of new Catholics are being baptized or entering the Catholic Church. Fr. Dom calls you to be Christ’s warriors: to love fiercely, proclaim boldly, and lead others to God’s house. Powerful Quotes from the Homily:  <ol><li>“Not even death itself. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? Nowhere.”  </li><li>“Jesus the Christ, defeating death. What a great warrior. He’s not some soft pacifist. He’s going to war.”  </li><li>“Bring them out of the darkness. All of us are called to do that.”</li></ol>Key Takeaway for Men:  Live the resurrection daily by loving those closest to you with fierce devotion and boldly proclaiming Christ, drawing others from the world’s chaos into God’s house. <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!

Nathan and his wife are now happily married and expecting a baby girl soon.
