When Your Son Has Cancer:  Chris Mueller on Fatherhood, Courage, and Miracles

True Beauty: In this episode, we hear the story of Leah Darrow - a former reality TV model turned international Catholic speaker, life-coach, author, and podcaster. We discuss True Beauty and how the very notion of beauty has become distorted in our culture. We also discuss Leah’s work to help women reach their God-given potential through her initiatives Lux University and Power Made Perfect. -- About Leah DarrowLeah Darrow is an international Catholic speaker that dares her audience to live a life according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Before her debut on the reality TV show, America’s Next Top Model, and the subsequent years as a professional model in New York City, Leah earned a Bachelors in psychology from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. She is currently working towards her Masters in Theology at the Augustine Institute. Leah and her husband Rick Soldinie, live in St. Louis, welcomed their 1st child in August 2013 and rarely sleep anymore. Leah has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs regarding topics of faith and culture. She also addressed a United Nations panel discussion on behalf of international youth in July of 2011. Most recently overseas, Leah rallied an audience of 15,000 youth at the World Trade Center in Manila during her Real Love Revolution tour in the Philippines, and then here at home gave the keynote address for over 7,000 college students at the national FOCUS conference, SEEK2013 held in Walt Disney World. Leah speaks to people of all ages on topics of mercy, conversion, human dignity, modesty, and chastity.

How Shoehorned Interpretation Led Away from Protestantism

For all his talk about seeing the “totality” of the solar eclipse last Monday, <a href='https://franciscan.edu/office-of-the-president/'>Father Dave</a> didn’t even go! Thankfully, <a href='https://spt.franciscan.edu/faculty/rice-robert/'>Deacon Bob</a> did.
They talk about the end of March Madness, Banana Ball, the NAIA’s decision not to allow biological males in women’s sports, Divine Mercy, and a retreat for mothers and daughters.

Staring at the Sun

We avoid thinking about death until it forces its way into the room. But what happens when a husband and father is suddenly told he has ninety days to live? 

In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt examine the striking story of former Nebraska senator Ben Sasse, who recently revealed a stage-four pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Drawing from his candid interview reflecting on that moment, they explore how the ancient Christian discipline of memento mori, remembering death, cuts through ambition, noise, and distraction to reveal what actually matters in a man’s life.

Sasse speaks openly about regret, fatherhood, selfishness, and the urgency of redeeming time when the clock is no longer theoretical. John and Devin unpack his reflections through the lens of the Church’s tradition, from Sirach’s warning to “remember your last end” to the teaching of saints like Jerome, Augustine, and Alphonsus Liguori, while confronting the questions most men quietly push aside: what would change if you truly believed your days were numbered?

Eastern Catholicism (Sr. Natalia) | Ep. 296

Getting things done.  How do I pass from ability to action?  I may know what is right, I may know what I need to do, but actually doing it is a whole other thing.  What’s more, sometimes the risks involved of actually doing something and putting my name to paper are quite daunting.  What if I’m wrong?  Can I afford to pay the consequences for my choices?  Many people prefer to simply hide.  How can my faith in God help me to pass from potential into action and make the difference I really want to make?

DGT Episode 205 - Its About The Doing - Not The Trying - AUDEO Part 3

In this episode, Sean Lynn and Bradley Banning explore the intersection of faith and music, particularly focusing on Bradley&#39;s journey as a Catholic country music artist. They discuss the importance of community, the role of authentic masculinity, and the impact of technology on songwriting. Bradley shares his experiences of converting to Catholicism and how it has influenced his music, emphasizing the need for fellowship and support among men. The conversation also touches on personal anecdotes about family, cooking, and the significance of maintaining a balance between faith, music, and personal life.

A Dram with Bradley Banning

Lent is an invitation to encounter Jesus. In this episode, John and Victor reflect on how easy it is to approach Lent as a checklist of sacrifices instead of a path toward deeper relationship with Christ.

If your Lenten practices have ever felt mechanical or disconnected from real change, this conversation is an invitation to refocus the season where it belongs. Lent is not about what you give up. It is about who you encounter.

Catholic Church Teaching on Same-Sex Attraction | Love The Sinner, Hate The Sin

Reflection: Joseph's trials&mdash;poverty, flight, loss&mdash;built his endurance. Fortitude strengthens resolve against fear, even unto death for a just cause. It is essential for Christian men facing worldly pressures. Daily Challenge: Endure a personal trial (e.g., fasting from a habit) and offer it for the Church's renewal. Prayer: St. Joseph, man of endurance, fortify me to stand firm in trials.

Day 4  Fortitude in Adversity | Bishop Scott

This isn&rsquo;t a time to sit on the sidelines&mdash;it&rsquo;s a call to action.
In this energizing close, men are invited into the Heroic 30, a 30-day challenge designed to spark real spiritual renewal and brotherhood. Backed by Church leadership&mdash;including encouragement from Bishop William McGrattan and an apostolic blessing from the Pope&mdash;this initiative is more than a program&hellip; it&rsquo;s a movement.
The message is simple and urgent: every man is needed.
Through daily commitment, obedience to the Church, and small but powerful acts of faith, men are called to help rebuild parishes, strengthen families, and reach those who feel alone. With a bold vision to impact 1 million men by 2033, this is just the beginning.
Join the mission. Live with purpose. And take your first step today.

Sean Lynn | Final Remarks

He was active playing baseball as a youngster, and then added swimming to his list of sports when he got to junior high. As he got into high school, he stuck with swimming but dropped baseball, only to find out in the future that he was being scouted at the time. Later in life he taught at a Catholic school where he was also the softball coach and took a group of girls who never won a game prior to him coaching to being division champs. He would also coach baseball for the city parks and rec league, plus he coached for a couple of years in the Catholic Youth Organization.

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, Adam and David crack open a rare Teeling whiskey from Ireland and dive into a topic most men never examine: avarice.Often reduced to “greed,” avarice is far more subtle—and far more dangerous. Drawing from St. John Cassian, St. Thomas Aquinas, and the spiritual tradition of the Church, the guys explore how a disordered attachment to material things can quietly shape our lives, distort our priorities, and even blind us spiritually.They discuss how modern “grind culture” can normalize avarice, why money itself is uniquely deceptive among the vices, and how this sin can creep in unnoticed—even among faithful men striving for holiness. The conversation also tackles:<ol><li data-list="bullet">Why avarice is different from other sins</li><li data-list="bullet">The “seven daughters” of greed according to Aquinas</li><li data-list="bullet">How avarice leads to restlessness, anxiety, and spiritual blindness</li><li data-list="bullet">The connection between avarice and a lack of trust in God</li><li data-list="bullet">The surprising concept of spiritual avarice</li><li data-list="bullet">Practical strategies to root it out, including manual labor, generosity, and community</li></ol> If you’ve never considered avarice in your examination of conscience, this episode will challenge you to take a deeper look—and give you a path forward.

I believe in God the Father almighty,&nbsp; Creator of heaven and earth.&nbsp;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son,&nbsp; our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,&nbsp; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell; the third day&nbsp; He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits at&nbsp; the right hand of God the Father&nbsp; almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints,&nbsp; the forgiveness of sins,&nbsp; the resurrection of the body&nbsp; and life everlasting. Amen.

The Apostles' Creed

Leaders are those who make a difference.  But making a difference requires having a vision.  What was the vision inside of St. Peter?  What was driving him as he led the Church?  Understanding and getting a glimpse into God’s purpose for St. Peter we can better understand the role of vision in our own lives as leaders and how we can capture it.

A God Who Sends His Disciples into Mission

In Episode 3 of our Spiritual Warfare series, we stop talking theory and start talking weapons.Christ has already armed His Church. The question is whether you are using what He has given you.We break down the real arsenal of a Catholic man.The challenge is simple and direct:Are you pressing against the gates of hell… or standing idle?Your battle plan is not complicated:• Monthly Confession minimum. Aim higher if needed. • Sunday Mass without compromise. Daily if possible. • Daily Rosary. • Weekly Friday fast. • Holy water and sacramentals in your home.The victory was won at Calvary. But Christ commands you to participate in it.<h3>🔥 3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode</h3><ol><li>“A man cannot fight effectively while spiritually bleeding.”</li><li>“Passivity invites chaos. Leadership invites order.”</li><li>“The question is not whether the weapons work. The question is whether you use them.”</li></ol><h3>Key Takeaway</h3>Schedule your next Confession today. Put it on the calendar. Then begin a daily Rosary and a weekly Friday fast. Start now.<h3>Products &amp; References Mentioned</h3>• <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.mysticmonkcoffee.com/" target="_blank">Mystic Monk Coffee</a> • TAN <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://digital.tanbooks.com/?gc_id=10316277314&amp;h_ad_id=730848595836&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=10316277314&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADyykAyTnJ_8GP8xkUJ464900nGpD&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAqprNBhB6EiwAMe3yhp45do1RsFbSbf37obvKBeZ9V0wem0P5pYP0CsDS_4HJY09FFRCBqhoCUAQQAvD_BwE" target="_blank">Digital</a> • <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ewtnreligiouscatalogue.com/the-power-of-the-rosary/p/BKPRY03942?gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=21288935511&amp;gbraid=0AAAAACp7LWdRdi2ohv29VstrPOI4Yy4TM&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAqprNBhB6EiwAMe3yhrgUSr9fgu3ws3shhz5ImKlnZB6B00pF5paJFEzebAlyL4DqG2yb5hoCgPAQAvD_BwE" target="_blank">The Power of the Rosary</a> by Gabrielle Costello • <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/compendium-of-sacramentals-encyclopedia-of-the-churchs-blessings-signs-and-devotions/?srsltid=AfmBOorRfloxN0nGqnK1MwxCUAX1baR4EAHjft-Ide1TiiGHIQnPS98A" target="_blank">Compendium of Sacramentals</a> by Shaun McAfee - use code 'manlycatholic' for a discount!<ul><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://fathersofstjoseph.org/jesus-desert-fast-experience/" target="_blank">Jesus' desert fast</a> by Devin Schadt</li></ul>Thank you for your prayers and support!

Ep 192 - Weapons of a Catholic Warrior: Arm Yourself or Be Eroded

25% of men ages 15-35 reported feeling serious loneliness the day before being surveyed. That is one in four men. And if you are married with kids, it does not automatically get better.In this episode Nathan breaks down why the loneliness epidemic is hitting men so hard, why most of us are making it worse without realizing it, and what it actually takes to build real friendships as a busy husband and father. He gets into Aristotle&#39;s three levels of friendship, why authentic community requires sacrifice and discomfort, and how he went from knowing nobody in a new city to building some of the closest friendships of his life.If you have been feeling isolated, like you do not have the kind of friendships that actually sharpen you, this one is for you.Join the Seeking Excellence community on Locals: seekingexcellence.locals.com

The Catholic Church Is Surging, Catholic Media Leads the Way & Women Religious Orders with Habits are Growing are just a few of the reasons being Catholic is Cool. Deacon Harold opens up these and many more today.

Why It's Cool To Be Catholic

Friends, in the book of Revelation, Jesus says, "Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and eat with you and you with me." But how does this work? How do we allow him into our hearts? That's what Brandon Vogt and I discuss in today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show." A listener asks, what do you think about the series, The Chosen?

Fans taking sports too seriously. Parents being WAY too involved in their son or daughter's sports. Superstitions that fans carry out. Sports betting.

What if the chaos in your family isn't random? What if the patterns of addiction, broken relationships, and spiritual emptiness running through your bloodline have a real theological explanation?In this episode, James speaks with Dr. Dan Schneider to break open one of the most misunderstood topics in the Church today: generational sin and familial curses. Dr. Dan unpacks his new book <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/sins-of-the-father-a-catholic-and-biblical-approach-to-generational-curses/" target="_blank">Sins of the Father: A Catholic and Biblical Approach to Generational Curses</a>, walking through what the Church actually teaches about how a father's sins affect his children. The answer is harder to hear than most men want. Because it puts the weight squarely back where it belongs: on you.We cover why healing Masses for "the family tree" get the theology wrong, what it actually means when God says He will "visit the iniquities of the fathers upon the children," why the confessional is where warriors go to get rebuilt, and what God is going to actually ask you when you stand before Him.The challenge for every man listening: Stop blaming your ancestors for your struggles and start building the kind of legacy your children and grandchildren will point to as the day the curse ended. What are you giving your family?The ancient weapons are still the best ones. Go to Confession. Offer Mass for the dead. Fast. Do penance. Die to yourself. That's it.BOOK REFERENCED: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/sins-of-the-father-a-catholic-and-biblical-approach-to-generational-curses/" target="_blank">Sins of the Father: A Catholic and Biblical Approach to Generational Curses by Dr. Dan Schneider</a>POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:<ol><li>"The confessional is where warriors go to get rebuilt.

WOF 030: Listener Q&A w/ Bishop Barron

What happens when a single phone call sends your life in a completely different direction? In The Call That Sent Him to Iraq (And Changed His Faith), Tom Pazili shares the moment he was asked to deploy to Iraq as a civilian advisor immediately after the war&mdash;and the prayer, fear, and faith that followed.
This conversation explores what it means to live a mission-focused life when everything in you wants comfort and certainty. Tom recounts leaving behind safety to step into a war zone with no military training, trusting that the call to serve something greater was worth the risk. From surviving rocket attacks to attending Mass inside Saddam Hussein&rsquo;s palace, his story reveals how moments of danger and uncertainty can deepen faith in ways ordinary life never could.
But the story doesn&rsquo;t end there. Tom also shares another life-altering decision&mdash;leaving New York with his family during COVID after his wife lost her job over a religious vaccine objection. Faced with uprooting their entire life, they chose faith over comfort and stepped into the unknown once again.
Along the way, Tom reflects on the importance of being mission-focused, the heroes who shaped him&mdash;from St. Thomas More to John Paul II&mdash;and why modern men must rediscover purpose, courage, and trust in God.
