Men Needed for an Incredible Mission: 1 Million Men by 2033

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

Jesus, my Lord,&nbsp; In the sacrament blest, I cannot receive You now.
Come into my heart, Come to dwell and rest. Make me pure, make me holy. In spiritual communion now.
Keep me near, in every storm. Keep me close, You are my home.

Act of Spiritual Communion

Reflection: Joseph's dreams guided his obedience to divine will, from betrothal to exile. Obedience is the root of justice, giving God His due without question. In heroic measure, it overcomes personal fears for the greater good. Daily Challenge: Obey a difficult instruction at work or home without complaint; reflect on how it serves God's plan. Prayer: St. Joseph, obedient servant, help me submit to God's will with your quiet trust. (Continue to welcome all the men joining the challenge and encourage them to invite a buddy to join them)

Day 2 Cultivating Humble Obedience | Brett Powell

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.

The Secret to Motivation | Ep 4

What if the fastest way to build trust had nothing to do with convincing people&mdash;and everything to do with understanding them? In this video, you'll discover how empathy transforms your conversations, helps you avoid misreading others, and prevents unnecessary conflict. You'll learn why most people listen with the intent to reply instead of to understand&mdash;and how that simple mistake kills trust. Through personal stories and practical habits, you'll gain tools to improve your listening, put yourself in someone else's shoes, and handle emotionally charged situations with confidence. Empathy isn&rsquo;t agreement&mdash;it&rsquo;s the ultimate shortcut to stronger relationships and faster results.

The Fastest Way to Build Trust | Ep 5

What if standing up for your faith meant exile, torture, and death &mdash; would you still do it? In this gripping talk, we uncover the extraordinary life of Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky, the Ukrainian bishop who defied Soviet oppression, endured brutal labor camps, and led the underground Church when it was all but wiped out. His story isn't just history &mdash; it's a challenge to every Christian today. Learn how a priest from a humble family in Ukraine stood firm when his Church was declared illegal, how he risked everything to defend unity with Rome, and how even after horrific torture, his incorrupt body testified to unshakable hope. This is more than a history lesson &mdash; it&rsquo;s a roadmap for courage, faith, and what it truly means to be a saint in dark times.

#5 Take Up Your Cross

#12 Grace & Discipline

Many people see holiness as something that is out of reach or something that will be attained in the future.  We don't have to wait until we are perfect to do things that are holy. 

In this episode, Jon Leonetti calls us to embrace holiness that is accessible to us today. As we journey through this season of Lent, consider the ways you can live in holiness today instead of waiting for tomorrow.

#13 Here & Now

In this episode, Jon Leonetti reminds us of the wisdom that is found in the desert. When you are tested in the "desert," how do you respond? Spend some time this week to meditate on Jesus' journey in the desert and why we focus on prayer, fasting and almsgiving during the season of Lent.

#14 The Desert

Jon Leonetti reflects on the conversion of St. Paul and challenges us to think about our own conversion.  Paul was literally knocked off his horse because God was calling him to turn his life around.  How is God calling you to redirect your life and are you responding?

#21 Conversion

St. Anselm was one of the great Catholic philosophers.  In this episode Jon Leonetti recounts his contributions to the Church and the importance thinking critically about our faith and the world we live in.  Take some time this week to challenge yourself mentally and seek answers to the difficult questions that you might have about your faith.

#26 A Great Thinker

In this episode Jon Leonetti shares the powerful history of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The heart of Jesus burns with the love of God.  What is your heart burning for?

#28 Sacred Heart

Men our weeks are packed with all kinds of tasks.  Join us every Monday and take one minute to strengthen your relationship with God! Heroic Minutes are the quickest and easiest ways transform your life by putting into action simple practices that will help you live a heroic lifestyle.

#27 Join Us

It is easy to cut ourselves off from one another, it is easy to walk away when things are difficult and it is easy to add fuel to the fire of division. Men division is the easy road, unity is the heroic path. 

This week identify the division that exists in your families, in the workplace and with your friends. Step forward and be the first to bring reconciliation and unity to your relationships. 

Jon Leonetti shares his thoughts on St. Boneventure and his efforts as a uniter. St. Boneventure pray for us!


#32 Uniters

#47 Be Prepared

It's Holy Week! We have spent the last six weeks reflecting on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If you have been waiting for the right moment to give God your time, the time is now! Read the daily readings, make time for prayer and do something to share the sacrifice and mercy that Christ gives us on the Cross. Go ALL IN this week because Jesus gave it all to you!

#67 HOLY WEEK - ALL IN

Heroic Minute #66 How Does God Love
How does God show us he loves us? He shows us how He loves through a gift model. He loves us by gifting us with life, gifting us with the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ and gifting us with forgiveness. We are called to love as the Father loves us. This means we need to ask ourselves, "Are we giving life to others? Are we sacrificing for others? Are we forgiving others?"

#66 HOW DOES GOD LOVE?

It was said of St. Anthony that he lived as if every day were the first day that he served God. In this new year, refresh your commitment to serving Christ, your family, and your community with your whole heart. Men, let's make this year all about Jesus. Have a heroic week.

Heroic Minute: New Beginning

John Linetti dives into the wisdom of St. Francis de Sales, a saint whose words resonate through centuries. In a world that's a bit of a rollercoaster lately, St. Francis's timeless advice on inner peace is like a beacon. Join John as he unravels the secrets to serenity, discovering the saint's practical teachings for our everyday lives.

"Surround yourself with holy friendships; they won't leave you empty."

As you soak in St. Francis de Sales' wisdom, take a moment to pray, seek inner peace, and surround yourself with a community striving for holiness.

Fighting the Wrong Enemy

Deacon Larry Oney issues a Clarion call for spiritual revival. Deacon Oney emphasizes the urgent need for repentance and a deeper connection with God, as he believes the world is facing a profound crisis of faith. He challenges men to embrace a posture of humility, docility, anointing, power, authority, holiness, and freedom, in order to lead the charge for a Eucharistic and spiritual awakening. Deacon Oney's message is a rallying cry for deacons and all men to step up and be the spiritual leaders their communities need.

What if your worst moment is actually your turning point?
This story dives into the hidden power of failure, guilt, and suffering&mdash;and how they can become the foundation for a completely transformed life. From a rebellious young man spiraling into trouble to a life-altering courtroom decision that could have destroyed his future, this journey explores the moment where truth demanded action&hellip; no matter the cost.
At the heart of it all is a quiet, unwavering example: a father who endured ridicule, loss, and isolation&mdash;yet never compromised his faith. That silent witness became the seed of something far greater, proving that real heroism isn&rsquo;t loud or flashy&mdash;it&rsquo;s consistent, sacrificial, and often unseen.
Through stories of risk, redemption, and radical honesty, this video wrestles with a powerful question: what happens when you stop running from truth and choose it, even when it hurts?
Because sometimes, the moment that feels like the end&hellip; is actually the beginning of everything.

What If Your Worst Moment Is Actually Your Turning Point | John Henry Westen | Ep 11

Matthew Christoff&rsquo;s new book says happiness for Catholic men starts with taking the Sunday Gospel seriously. He frames Jesus as the &ldquo;lion of Judah,&rdquo; and reads the Gospels as a sustained campaign to overthrow &ldquo;the kingdom of Satan,&rdquo; marked by constant threats, confrontation, and Christ&rsquo;s refusal to back down.&nbsp;
Christoff traces his own decade-long devotion project to helping his father through a slow death after 47 years of sobriety, then surviving a medical crisis that forced him to face his own near-death without flinching. He aims to help young men (and, if possible, priests) with tools to make Catholic masculinity a parish priority.

Why Catholic Men Feel Lost | Matthew Christoff | Ep 2

This is the raw, powerful true story of Robert Tunmire, co-founder of Heroic Men, who went from the edge of destruction to a life of purpose and impact. At 16, Robert didn&rsquo;t care if his future led to death or jail&mdash;until a chance meeting with a mentor changed everything. What follows is a story of redemption, sacrifice, and spiritual awakening.
In this episode, you&rsquo;ll hear how a man with no direction found his calling, built a business at 17, and eventually discovered that true strength comes not from doing it all, but from surrendering it all. From dealing with the pain of past mistakes&mdash;including the haunting regret of an abortion&mdash;to mentoring young men, Robert's story is proof that heroism isn&rsquo;t about perfection. It&rsquo;s about presence, courage, and becoming the man someone else needs you to be.

I Was Headed for Jail—Then a Stranger Changed My Life | Robert Tunmire

What if everything you thought made you strong&mdash;your beliefs, your community, even your identity&mdash;suddenly became the very things holding you back? Dominic lived that question when choosing love meant losing his tribe, his home, and the only version of faith he had ever known. What followed was a decade-long deconstruction and reconstruction&mdash;through trauma, spiritual exile, and radical courage.
This conversation pulls back the curtain on one man&rsquo;s darkest moment and the quiet grit that carried him through. From sleeping on chapel floors to leading a movement of Catholic men toward healing and brotherhood, Dominic&rsquo;s story is raw, real, and relentlessly human. If you&rsquo;ve ever wrestled with who you are, what you believe, or how to keep going when everything falls apart, this episode offers a glimpse into the kind of heroism that doesn&rsquo;t come with applause&mdash;but might just change your life.

The Untold Story of a Man Who Left Everything Behind with Dominic de Souza

From gang life to God’s grace—Alan Diaz’s transformation is nothing short of miraculous. In this gripping episode of Heroic Stories, Alan shares his journey from the dark streets of New York, where violence and survival ruled his days, to a life of faith, purpose, and true Brotherhood in Christ. He opens up about the pain of abandonment, the false promises of gang loyalty, and the moment he cried out to God for a way out. A chance encounter, the love of a good woman, and an unexpected blessing set him on a path to redemption. Now, Alan is a devoted husband, father, and leader in his community, using his testimony to reach the next generation. This is a story of struggle, faith, and the power of real Brotherhood—the kind that lifts men up rather than tears them down.Subscribe free to weekly Heroic Men email: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://stories.heroicmen.org">https://stories.heroicmen.org</a>| ABOUT THIS SHOW |Heroic Stories—the series to strengthen Catholic men with raw stories of heroic grit &amp; faith.

The March Challenge That Could Transform Your Faith is more than a call to action&mdash;it&rsquo;s a movement rooted in brotherhood, humility, and spiritual renewal. In this powerful conversation with Bishop William McGrattan of the Diocese of Calgary, discover why now is the time for men to rise&mdash;together. As Lent begins, this video invites Catholic men across Canada and beyond to take up a challenge that&rsquo;s already bearing fruit: a month-long journey inspired by St. Joseph, designed to strengthen faith, family, and the Church.
You'll hear the three priorities reshaping parishes, the role of humble service and visible witness, and why kneeling beside your children might be the most powerful thing you do this year. This isn&rsquo;t about perfection&mdash;it&rsquo;s about presence, responsibility, and rediscovering that you are called, you matter, and you belong. From personal stories to practical steps, this episode will inspire you to stop sitting on the sidelines and start living your mission.

The Revival of Masculine Faith | Heroic Hotline | Peter Herbeck

What happens when you follow a nudge from the Holy Spirit? In this moving episode of Heroic Hotline, we hear the true story of a quiet invitation that changed everything. It started with a simple gesture&mdash;buying a ticket to a men's conference. But that single act of friendship sparked a two-year journey that led a 70-year-old atheist to baptism, peace, and ultimately, eternal hope.
Told through personal reflections, unforgettable moments, and a powerful witness of transformation, this episode explores the true cost of discipleship, the quiet power of presence, and the unfathomable mercy of God. You'll hear how small taps, authentic friendship, and community support created a ripple effect that shaped a man&rsquo;s final months and gave meaning to a life once distant from faith.
This is a story of heroic outreach, persistent love, and the kind of spiritual victory only God can orchestrate. If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered whether one invite matters&mdash;this episode answers that with a resounding yes.

In this moving conversation, Kevin O&rsquo;Brien unpacks the quiet crisis facing men today&mdash;loneliness, isolation, and despair&mdash;and the radically simple solution: a personal invitation. From his decades of leadership with Heroic Men and Catholic Men's Leadership Alliance, Kevin shares the life-changing power of &ldquo;the tap&rdquo;: Touch A Person. It&rsquo;s not about preaching&mdash;it&rsquo;s about showing up. Whether it&rsquo;s inviting someone to a men&rsquo;s conference, texting your kids a blessing, or praying for a friend, these small, intentional acts are saving lives.
Backed by data, rooted in faith, and filled with practical stories and insights, this episode explores how men can reclaim hope, brotherhood, and purpose. If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered how to reach the men around you&mdash;or why so many are quietly suffering&mdash;this episode gives you both the &ldquo;why&rdquo; and the &ldquo;how.&rdquo;

Why ‘Tapping’ a Friend Could Save His Life | Heroic Hotline | Kevin O'Brien

What if love&mdash;not conquest&mdash;changed everything? In this gripping and hope-filled conversation, Father Joseph Tuscan recounts the incredible true story of how a few Capuchin friars entered the literal Stone Age of Papua New Guinea&mdash;and within years, witnessed entire villages abandon cannibalism, polygamy, and tribal warfare for the Catholic faith. Why did it happen? Because they preached one thing: Christian marriage.
This video is more than a missionary tale&mdash;it&rsquo;s a mirror held up to our modern world. As Father Joseph explains, what converted these so-called "savages" wasn't coercion but a powerful encounter with the truth of the Eucharist, the dignity of women, and the beauty of family. And in contrast, what has modern Western culture lost?
You'll also hear about the centuries-old movement of Christian Mothers, a worldwide apostolate still thriving today&mdash;quietly transforming families, marriages, and entire cultures through witness, prayer, and sacrifice.
If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered how faith changes a people&mdash;or what hope there is for today's broken families and fatherless homes&mdash;this is the story to watch.

Simplicity of Faith: No Theology Degree Needed | Heroic Hotline | Jeff Lockert

Ever feel like you’re just trying to survive the chaos—leading at home, showing up at work, holding it together through grief—but inside you're wondering, is this really what God meant by "abundant life?" Jeff Cavins gets it. Sean and Jeff dive deep into what it actually means to be a disciple—not a fan, not a cultural Catholic, but a man on mission. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/brotherhood">Join the Heroic Brotherhood</a>Jeff opens up about the moment he knew—at 18 years old—he was called to teach Scripture for the rest of his life. But this isn’t a highlight reel. He shares how he kept going through loss—literally stepping on stage to speak the moment he found out his dad had passed. They talk about spiritual burnout, the loneliness men don’t admit, and the surprising power of talking to God out loud in your car.This one’s for the guys who want more than Sunday Mass. It’s for men hungry for brotherhood, purpose, and a real encounter with Christ. You’ll learn how to use Lexio Divina, how to mentor others, and why the world needs men who lead even in suffering. Bonus: you’ll never hear the song “25 or 6 to 4” the same again.
