In Defense of Modern Art?! with Fr. Bonaventure Chapman

Alan Diaz didn’t find belonging in the streets of Harlem or in a gang; he found it in real brotherhood. Growing up without a father, he got pulled into the Bloods, searching for something that could never fill the void. The regret weighed heavy, but his story didn’t end there.Alan’s life took a turn when love and faith stepped in—starting with his wife, Daniela, and powerful mentors like Father Orlando and his brother Mike. They didn’t just support him; they showed him the way to redemption.Here’s the punchline: true strength isn’t about playing tough. It’s about humility, forgiveness, and the bonds you build in Christ’s love. Alan’s journey is proof that the hardest struggles can forge the most authentic relationships. And if you’re still chasing something real, it’s time to look in the right place.

From Gang Life to Grace: Alan Diaz's Journey to Seek Heroic Manhood

Deacon Charlie Echeverry cuts through the noise and gets real about what’s missing in today’s world—authentic friendship and real missionary discipleship. He doesn't sugarcoat it: the loneliness epidemic we’re facing? It’s no accident. It's a product of tech overload and a culture that's forgotten what real connection looks like. He breaks it down with raw, personal stories, giving you four clear signs you're in a true brotherhood: showing up in prayer, valuing people over transactions, and going all-in for God and those around you. With a mix of humor and relentless passion, he lights a fire under you to build genuine relationships and take action in sharing Christ's love. It’s a call to step up, transform your community, and stop playing small.About the 2024 Summit: The Heroic Leadership Summit is the annual, no-nonsense, cutting-edge event for Catholic men hungry for serious growth in their faith journey.

Dumped for Seminary! | CANDID

Featured in an ESPN "30 for 30" called "Playing for the Mob," he stood strong during the Boston College (basketball) point-shaving scandal, sticking to his moral roots and not taking a bribe. He is still involved with the sport today as the Head of USA on the international board for FIMBA - the worldwide governing body for Masters basketball (with federations in 47 countries). Within the past two years he has not only recruited American senior players and organized USA teams, but, he has also played in FIMBA tournaments in Brazil, Costa Rica, Italy, Japan, and Serbia.

After an incredibly successful career in the franchising industry, Robert Tunmire is now using his experience and expertise to deliver ministry to men worldwide. Robert shares the details of his journey, starting with his withdrawal from high school to run his first company and the subsequent business successes for decades. At 40, God shook Robert awake and brought him to a new understanding and an openness to the Holy Spirit. Through a string of encounters, Robert made a monumental shift in his life. He began working on launching and growing ministry to men, including Man in the Mirror, the Catholic Men’s Leadership Alliance, the Heroic Men platform, and the Central Texas Fellowship of Catholic Men. Robert has more than 44 years of experience in the franchising industry and is widely known for his ability to grow companies. He served as Executive Vice President of Neighborly (formerly The Dwyer Group) from 1998 to 2019. For seven years, he was the President of Glass Doctor, a 30-year-old company. He also served as President and CEO of Neighborly/The Dwyer Group and President of Mr. Rooter Corporation, one of Neighborly’s companies. In 1975, as a very young man, he opened his first franchise for Rainbow International Carpet Dyeing &amp; Cleaning, a Neighborly company. After buying and selling four franchises, all for a handsome profit, he joined the home office in 1982. He began working for Rainbow International, which was to become Neighborly's flagship company. Until his retirement, Robert led the Franchise Development team in recruiting all new franchisees across the brands at Neighborly. He also took an active role in training new franchisees and had a gift for building long-term relationships with franchisees.

Wandering in the Desert for 40 Years | Robert Tunmire | Episode #129

Marcel LeJeune, President and Founder of Catholic Missionary Disciples, joins the BeatiDudes, starting with peak brotherhood banter and then swinging into a seriously helpful conversation about parish renewal, evangelization, and what it actually takes to change culture. 
Marcel shares why “fruitfulness is named before it’s numbered,” why the Church cannot rely on packaged programs to fix deep problems, and why the “human” and “pastoral” gaps in formation often leave priests and parish leaders under-skilled for the real world of listening, discipling, and leading. Along the way, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein challenge the temptation toward mediocrity, talk about humility and growth as the foundation for leadership, and watch Marcel casually deliver an on-the-spot mini keynote that somehow lands like he had three weeks of prep.
Big takeaways include Marcel’s simple A-L-A-R framework: ask, listen, assess, respond, plus a call for everyday Catholics to live an integrated life where worship fuels mission and mission flows into daily relationships. If you want to help your parish move even one degree back toward the right destination, this episode is your nudge to seek help, build the skills, and start investing in people, not just projects.

Parish Renewal | Marcel LeJeune | Episode #305

Dr. Thomas Madden, Professor of Medieval History and Director of the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at Saint Louis University, sits down to set the record straight on the Crusades. Demystifying one of history's most misunderstood chapters. Dr. Madden draws on 30 years of scholarship and archival work to trace the full arc of the Crusades from their origins in centuries of Muslim expansion to the catastrophic Fourth Crusade's sack of Constantinople. Whether you think the Crusades were an act of aggression, piety, or geopolitical chaos, this conversation will challenge what you thought you knew.

Thank God for the Crusades! (Dr. Thomas Madden) | Ep. 568

Leaders find themselves at the crux between the practical and the ideal.  Between what is expedient and what is best.  How does our faith help us navigate staying in power and using our influence while following the teachings of God and practicing virtue?  One way not to do it is to follow the teaching of Machiavelli.  In this first of series of talks on anti-leaders we begin by studying Machiavelli and “The Prince.”

How to Celebrate Allhallowtide and Other Popular Catholic Devotions

Advent Series 2022, Pt. 1: The word “Advent” means “coming” or “arrival.” While we tend to focus on the coming of the Son of God as a child at Christmas, Advent is traditionally a penitential season that is supposed to make us ready to meet the Lord at His second coming. This Advent series by Dr. David Hajduk, Array of Hope’s Director of Theology, reflects on the Final Advent of the Lord - the Last Judgment. This first part explores questions like “Why is there a general judgment at the end of time if there is a particular judgment at the moment of death?” and “What will be the signs that Jesus’ second coming is near?” -- Host: Dr. David HajdukVisit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

Aquinas on Praying without Ceasing

What is sin? Are all sins created equal? In this episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, Jack Garno and Dr. David Hajduk dive deep into the Catholic Church’s teaching on sin—original sin, mortal sin, venial sin, and the consequences of sin in Christian theology. We explore what the&nbsp;Bible&nbsp;says about sin, how&nbsp;moral theology&nbsp;helps us understand&nbsp;grave sin, and why the&nbsp;sacrament of reconciliation&nbsp;is essential to healing. You’ll hear insights on&nbsp;faith,&nbsp;penance, and the Church’s role in helping souls return to God. We also address the modern resistance to the idea of sin, especially regarding sexual morality, and whether the Church is "too obsessed" with sin. Can you receive&nbsp;communion&nbsp;if you're in a state of sin? Do you need a priest to be forgiven? This conversation unpacks timeless&nbsp;spiritual&nbsp;truths and sheds light on how&nbsp;Christianity,&nbsp;religion, and&nbsp;Catholic Church&nbsp;teaching still matter deeply in today's world. Don’t forget to&nbsp;like, comment, and subscribe&nbsp;for more Catholic conversations that inspire hope and deepen your faith. -Support our Sponsors-<a href="https://bit.ly/4btLSYF" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Magnificat</a>&nbsp;- A simple way to transform the way you pray.<a href="https://bit.ly/44nYYUw" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Scapulars.com</a>&nbsp;- Divine protection in life and death with the most durable, comfortable scapulars ever made. -Support Our Mission-<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/donate" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Donate Here</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/events/" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Book an Event</a> -Follow Us On Social Media-Facebook:&nbsp;<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast</a>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast</a>YouTube:&nbsp;<a href="https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast</a> ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction02:13 Start of Interview 03:09 Different Types of Sin16:06 Original Sin 20:03 Reordering Disordered Desires 27:09 Does it take formation to know what Sin is? 32:39 What Sin Will Send Me to Hell? 37:36 The Eucharist and Sin 45:52 More differences between Mortal + Venial Sin 47:47 Partial vs. Plenory Indulgences 51:19 The Need for Confession

She drew national attention just under two years ago when she was nominated for an ESPY for "Best Viral Sports Moment" for when she threw out a ceremonial first pitch before a Chicago White Sox game. She has been a nun for more than 25 years and is part of the Dominican Sisters of Springfield. In her days as a student-athlete she played softball, volleyball, and basketball. You'll also hear mention in this interview about her having trained for a half marathon. Last year she concluded 13 years at a Catholic high school in Chicago, including teaching theology there.

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.

In this engaging and enlightening talk from the KEPHA Men's Conference, Father McTeigue discusses the importance of being a pilgrim, a warrior, and a leader in the Catholic faith. He emphasizes the need for men to embrace their role as life-giving fathers and to be transformed by their faith. Father McTeigue also highlights the significance of worthy worship and the impact it has on our relationship with God. He encourages men to take charge and be united with Christ in their journey. Takeaways<ol><li>Embrace your role as a life-giving father and be transformed by your faith.</li><li>Worthy worship is essential for a strong relationship with God.</li><li>Take charge and be a leader in your faith journey.</li><li>Embrace the pilgrim and warrior icons of the male soul.</li><li>Men need to be equipped to be physical and spiritual warriors.</li></ol>Sound Bites<ul><li>"We don't want to be like the students I met when I was a new priest at a self-identified Catholic university.

The Importance of Effective Communication in the Church | Matthew Warner | R4HIn this episode, we welcome Matthew Warner, the founder of Flocknote and author of Why They Follow published by Word on Fire. We discuss how he became passionate about the Catholic Faith and felt called to use his skills as a computer engineer to spread it. We learn about how this led to him founding the communications platform Flocknote as a way to connect unconnected Catholics with the great things happening in their parishes, as well as to re-evangelize the disaffiliated. We also will dive into the reasons why so many Catholics have left the Church and what we can do to lead them back home.Host: Mario Costabile- Sponsors -Pietra Fitness: By combining stretching and strengthening exercises with Catholic prayer and meditation, Pietra Fitness workouts enrich your body, mind, and soul so you can glorify God with your entire being. <a href="https://bit.ly/3TmA3Nf">LEARN MORE</a>The University of San Diego — Lighting the Way Forward <a href="https://bit.ly/4cply2F">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.

Chapter 10: Change the World is the hard-hitting finale that calls every man to action: Are you bringing anyone to Jesus? Father Larry brings his signature no-nonsense fire as he reframes what it means to be fruitful&mdash;not just in fathering children, but in multiplying eternal life through evangelization. The stakes are eternal, and the questions are piercing. How many people know Jesus because of you? How many have you led astray by your example? <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Whiskey Del Bac produces award-winning American Single Malt whiskey in Tucson, Arizona. 100% own-make whiskies weave the rich mosaic of the Southwestern heritage with traditional Scottish distilling methods, yielding a truly unique blend of cultures and traditions in every bottle.
About our gear:
This week we have a call to action instead of an actual gear. The <a href="https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2020/10/23/201023b.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Vatican</a> has extended plenary <a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07783a.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">indulgences</a> for the dead throughout the month of November. Two main ways to gain the indulgences in the month of November: 1. Visit a cemetery and pray for the dead during the Octave of All Saints' Day. 2. Those who piously visit a church or oratory on All Souls' Day and recited the Our Father and the Creed. The decree also encourages priests to make the sacraments as widely available as possible during November.
About the Topic:
Why do we pray to St. Joseph for a happy death? What is a good death? Should you wait until the last hour to have your loved ones receive The Last Rites? What is an Apostolic Pardon? Will people actually go to Hell? We discuss this and a lot more in this episode.

Episode 195: Roll The Stone Away

“The Glory of God is man fully alive.” How do we know if we are fully alive? Jesus brought Lazarus back to life… He also wants to also call us out of our tombs. Yet, we pause before we roll the stone away. 

In this episode, you will hear John and Victor talk about:

- Why does Jesus weep? 
- He is present in our current sufferings
- We have a loving, fatherly God 
- What does it mean to be a man fully alive?

Roll The Stone Away

Alex Jones is an awesome man. He and I met almost ten years ago in a dorm room on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. Little did I know that 7 years later I&#39;d be working for his Catholic prayer app. 
There are several reasons this would have shocked me at the time, not least of which was the fact that Alex was an atheist on somedays and agnostic on others. 
The story of how God took him from who he was then to who he is today is an amazing one.

How To Know When To Cut People From Your Life | Ep 277

Father John Riccardo doesn’t hold back. He opens up about the darkest moment of his life—a moment that brought shame and pain. But instead of hiding it, he leans in, making a bold call for men to confront their traumas head-on. Why? Because healing starts with honesty, and no one should fight their battles alone. Father John credits his hero: his dad. A man who lived humility, prayer, and a God-first life. It was through his father’s example and the challenge of other men that he finally stopped running and embraced the call to be a disciple of Jesus. The question is: are you ready to answer the call?

Rescue Mission: Real Men Inspire Change through Brotherhood

Dr. J. Budziszewski, philosopher professor at the University of Texas at Austin, and bestselling author of Pandemic of Lunacy is here to tackle some of the deepest questions of our time: the incoherence of nihilism and materialism, Nietzsche's dangerous appeal, transhumanism, sexual ethics, and what it actually means to love.

Nietzsche, Nihilism, and the Return of God (Dr. J. Budziszewski ) | Ep. 577

Are you actually listening to God&hellip; or are you just saying prayers? In Men Answering the Heroic Call, Tom Hornacek and Dean Patterson tackle one of the most misunderstood realities in Catholic life: praying in the Holy Spirit. From mission trips in St. Lucia prisons to unexpected moments of boldness on a Catholic cruise, they share real stories of what happens when men stop being &ldquo;frozen chosen&rdquo; and start responding to the Spirit&rsquo;s promptings. If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered how to hear God&rsquo;s voice, how to discern His will, or how to grow in bold Catholic faith &mdash; this conversation is for you.&nbsp;

WOF 267: Do Not Fear

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.

The Mother of God Vs The Demonic

"Acquiring the Spirit of God is the TRUE AIM of our Christian Life, while prayer, fasting, alms-giving, and other good works done for Christ's sake are merely a means for acquiring the Spirit of God" (St. Seraphim of Sarov, On Acquisition of the Holy Spirit).
Referenced Scripture reading: <a href="https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/110820.cfm">Gospel of Matthew 25:1-13</a>.

Lit Lamps

Men, the battle is here. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jared Staudt from Exodus 90 to issue a bold call: prepare for spiritual war through St. Michael’s Lent, starting August 15th.Your marching orders have arrived. We dive deep into the origins and spiritual power of St. Michael’s Lent, a 40-day Catholic challenge inspired by the great St. Francis of Assisi and rooted in ancient tradition. Learn why this penitential season is critical for men today, how the Exodus 90 team has structured it for modern warriors, and why discipline, order, and sacrifice are the weapons we need now more than ever.You’ll learn the why behind each discipline and how each is crafted to bring order to your soul, sharpen your spiritual edge, and strengthen your mission as a man of God.We discuss:<ul><li>The spiritual and psychological warfare men face today</li><li>The demonic hatred of order and how discipline drives demons out</li><li>The role of St. Michael the Archangel in exorcisms and daily spiritual combat</li><li>Why rest, leisure, and celebrating the Lord’s Day are battle strategies, not indulgences</li><li>How true fraternity unlocks spiritual breakthroughs men cannot achieve alone</li></ul>Challenge Issued in this Episode: Step into the breach. Find a fraternity. Get the app. Sign up for St. Michael’s Lent. Offer your disciplines for your family. Wake up at 2 a.m. and pray like the Desert Fathers. Let your body rest and your soul fight. The Church needs men who are ready. Are you one of them?Key Takeaway:Order is a weapon. Demons hate structure. Your disciplines form a spiritual perimeter. Build it. Guard it. Live it.Three Powerful Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>“When you wake up in the night and everyone else is asleep, you're not breaking off from work or putting your phone down — you're just entering right into prayer.”</li><li>“We're not called to suffer pointlessly. Every act of self-denial must have a purpose — for God, for your wife, for your children, for your brothers.”</li><li>“Saint Michael didn’t negotiate with evil. He cast it out. Men today need that same fire in their hearts.”</li></ol>Featured Resources &amp; Products:<ul><li>Exodus 90 App – <a href="https://exodus90.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://exodus90.com</a> --&gt; SIGN UP TODAY!</li><li>St. Michael’s Lent  – Begins August 15th</li><li></li></ul><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!

Ep 162 - Exodus 90: Train Like a Saint - Join St. Michael's Lent and Reclaim Your Soul

He has been coaching high school basketball for 15 years, including ten as Varsity Head Coach at La Salle Academy, an all-male private, independent college preparatory Catholic school in New York City, where he also serves as the Athletic Director. The survivor of a recent medical miracle, in 2017 he led La Salle basketball to their first-ever New York State Federation Championship, a team that saw one of its players eventually chosen in the NBA Draft. As a young adult he had organized a Friday Night Drop-In Center, where neighborhood youth could play basketball in the parish gym — provided they participated in prayer beforehand. Two of the highlights of his faith life include having discerned a possible call to the priesthood and having met Pope John Paul II.

Ep 15 - The Communion of Saints

Journey with me, as I try to make sense of 3 profound scenes I recently saw. The scripture I refer to in this episode is from Ezekiel chapter 47--<a href="https://bible.usccb.org/bible/ezekiel/47">click here to read it</a>!
Don't be discouraged and allow the darkness to consume you. Never forget: "... everything will live where the river goes" (Ezekiel 47:9).
Prayer to St. Joseph:
"Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man. Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life. Obtain for us grace, mercy, and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen."&nbsp;

Spiritual Warfare and A Powerful Prayer with Gabe Castillo

My journey to becoming conservative was truly unplanned, much like the journey of Pro-Life advocate Abby Johnson. Abby once worked in a Planned Parenthood, all the while strongly advocating for abortion "rights". &nbsp;&nbsp;
In March of 2019, a movie was released called Unplanned, which documented her experiences of personally having abortions to witnessing them that ultimately led to her being a leading vocie in the anti-abortion movement. &nbsp;
That movie changed my life. It allowed me to see abortion as the leading issue of our time. Wanting to be a more educated defender of Life, I took to YouTube, books, and podcasts to learn more.

WOF 502: The Meaning and Purpose of Beauty (Part 1)

&quot;SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST&quot; I am a soldier for Jesus Christ! The die has been cast. The decision has been made. I have stepped over the line of fear and doubt. I won&apos;t look back, let up, slow down, back away, be still, silent or afraid. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense and my future is secure. I&apos;m finished and done with low living, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals. I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits or popularity. I don&apos;t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, am fed by the Eucharist, love with patience, live by prayer and endure with His power because His word is in me. My eyes are focused, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable and my mission is clear so why FEAR? I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice or suffering, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity or meander in the maze of mediocrity. till I won&apos;t give up, shut up, let up or slow up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up and spoken up for the cause of Jesus Christ! YES!!! I am a SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST! I must go He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My heart is for Him! I will not waver, because I&apos;m a SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!!! AMEN! AMEN!

Lent/Easter Retreat, Conference 4 (w/Retreat Leader Greg Raymond)

<h2>Helping grow Catholic Education!</h2>
In this week’s episode, Sean visits with the Chief Superintendant of the Calgary Catholic School District, Dr. Bryan Szumlas. Listen as they discuss life within Canada’s second largest Catholic school district, the challenges faced in bringing to life the Catholic Faith, and of being messengers of, and doing a better job of showing our Catholic faith.

A Dram with Dr. Bryan Szumlas

The Holy Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by building the Virtue of Obedience so he can always be obedient to Christ&apos;s Holy Catholic Church and by growing in the Virtue of Prudence so he can prudently asses and confess his sins regularly in the Sacrament of Penance.

Episode 128 - The Holy Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter the Apostle - Thursday February 22, 2024 - Mt 16:13-19

There’s an old adage in Christianity that God writes straight with crooked lines.  The same can be said with many on their course to success.  A good leader needs to know how to bend and when to bend.  It’s like the old adage, “Know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em.”  That ability to change course in the midst of a project we refer to as “pivoting.”  Beginning by our understanding of success and lived through our willingness to change , sometimes our ability to succeed depends upon our ability to pivot.

DGT Episode 150 - Pivoting Our Way To Success - Flexibility, The Art Of Power Part 2

There is nothing more powerful than prayer. If we truly care about our country then we will lift our nation and our leaders up in prayer. Regardless of political affiliation all of the leaders of our country need the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 

It can be difficult to pray for leaders that you disagree with. This week take time to pray for those who you find it most difficult to pray for and ask the Holy Spirit to intercede on your behalf.

Shayne Smith Reacts to Fellow Comedians | Last Call Ep. 15

Pull up a barstool with me and relax. I mean it! We need to relax. This week's episode of "Pints with Aquinas" is all about overwork, why technology makes us more stressed, and how to find true rest and leisure. We're going to look at a pretty hard-hitting argument from Aquinas for why we need to be joyful and get some pleasure in our lives. We'll also talk about: - What is true rest for the soul (the answer may surprise you) - The difference between true leisure and distraction - The sin of not playing (yes, this is for real) - Some practical tips for detaching yourself from technology <a href="https://pintswithaquinas.com/understanding-thomas/">Download my FREE ebook, "You Can Understand Aquinas," now!</a> SPONSORS Hallow: <a href="http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd </a> STRIVE: <a href="https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> Catholic Chemistry: <a href="https://www.catholicchemistry.com/?utm_source=mattfradd&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=mattfradd1q&amp;utm_content=quotebanner"> https://www.catholicchemistry.com/</a> GIVING Patreon or Directly: <a href="https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/">https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/ </a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

Overcoming Toxic Productivity (and the Virtue of Play)

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. In our last episode, Evangelization & Culture Podcast host Tod Worner began a conversation with Word on Fire's founders about social media, in which they explored the art and means of communication. In this next segment, we'll continue that conversation, now examining Catholic ministry and social media. What, if anything, does social media have to do with Pope St. John Paul II? How does it fit into Word on Fire's own principles? How would one even define social media? Here to discuss these things with Tod Worner and Fr. Steve Grunow is Bishop Robert Barron. <a href= "Links:">Links:</a> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

WOF 530: Catholic Ministry & Social Media (pt. 2)

The life of King Solomon was truly extraordinary.  Gifted with outstanding wisdom, King Solomon’s wisdom blessed Israel with outstanding abundance.  And even though everything in his life was not worthy of imitation, the Bible is careful to record that he used his gifts to build the temple of God.  This might surprise us.  Why would God want his leader to dedicate himself to building a temple?  It’s a question that opens us to a deeper understanding of our own leadership today.

DGT Episode 346 - Temple Builders - King Solomon Part 3

This no-nonsense, gut-punching, soul-waking series is a firestarter for any man ready to stop drifting and start living with holy purpose. With raw humor, spiritual grit, and deeply personal stories, Father Larry Richards challenges Catholic men to step into their true identity&mdash;not just as believers, but as beloved sons, courageous warriors, and men of God.
Each chapter dismantles modern passivity and spiritual lukewarmness, calling men to deeper prayer, unshakable discipline, real repentance, and radical love. From embracing the Father&rsquo;s love to breaking free from sin, living by the Spirit, and becoming a servant leader at home and in the world&mdash;this series gives men the spiritual playbook they&rsquo;ve been craving.
If you&rsquo;ve ever wrestled with anger, lust, weakness, pride, or purpose, you&rsquo;re not alone&mdash;and this series is your training ground. Get ready to be challenged, inspired, and transformed. It&rsquo;s time to be the man you were created to be.

Be a Man! with Fr Larry Richards 

Brothers, what if the quiet guy in the Bible could teach you how to master temptation and tackle life’s toughest hits? Welcome back to The Manly Catholic for another Lenten deep dive into St. Joseph, this time with Patrick O’Hearn—author and past guest from Episode 112. Today, we’re zeroing in on two game-changers: Joseph’s ironclad purity and his knack for enduring suffering. If you’re ready to stop folding to the world’s lies and start fighting like a saint, hit play and let’s get to it.Patrick drops some heavy truth here. He calls St. Joseph a "martyr of purity"—married to the most beautiful woman ever, yet living a life of total sacrifice, not possession. That’s strength, guys, not weakness. Then there’s his suffering—scrambling for a home for Mary, feeling outmatched by his holy family, yet never quitting. Sound familiar? We’ve all felt like failures as dads, husbands, or just men trying to keep it together. Joseph shows us purity isn’t just dodging sin—it’s honoring beauty—and suffering’s a forge, not a grave.Your challenge: Pick Your Fight. Two options—purity or perseverance. For purity, guard your heart today—delete social media apps (Instagram, Twitter, whatever’s got you scrolling), pray to St. Joseph when temptation hits, and ditch the smartphone noise. For perseverance, pinpoint one spot you’re struggling—family, work, whatever—and take it to prayer. Journal it, plan one faithful step forward, and lean on Joseph to carry that cross. Optimized for men hungry for holiness, this episode’s your battle plan. Products/References<ul><li>Our Lady of Sorrows (book by Patrick O’Hearn): Check it out and Episode 112.</li><li>St. Joseph Terror of Demons Prayer: Recited here—find it online.</li><li>Memorare to St. Joseph: Closing prayer—look it up for daily use.</li></ul>3 Powerful Quotes<ol><li>"St. Joseph is a martyr of purity… married to the most beautiful woman in the world and he could not consummate his love."</li><li>"Purity is not only possible but is the path to true strength and holiness."</li><li>"Suffering is not meaningless, it is a pathway to holiness."</li></ol>Guard your heart now.

Day 8 - St. Joseph: Silence is Golden

Join Sean in the Pub as he welcomes Father Troy Nguyen, whose journey to the priesthood was a true sojourn as a soul searching for the longing of his heart. Father Troy was born and raised in Calgary, and attended Minor Seminary in high school, which led directly into seminary in preparation for the priesthood. Not sure of his vocation, Father left the seminary for a time, working in various fields of employment, but felt unfulfilled. &nbsp;&nbsp;When he attended one of the God Squad conferences a few years ago, he credits being there with helping him discern a return to the seminary and his true vocation as a priest.

A Dram with Fr Troy

Brothers, imagine a life where your strength as a man hinges on one thing: how you love your wife. Day 5 of our St. Joseph Lenten series on The Manly Catholic dives into his title, "Spouse of the Mother of God," and it’s a reality check for every husband and priest out there. This isn’t just a nod to Joseph’s marriage to Mary, it’s a blueprint for us to build unshakable families and parishes. We’re digging into St. Joseph’s example today. Before he was Jesus’ earthly father, he was Mary’s husband, leading her with a love so deep it didn’t need words, just action. He protected her purity, stood by her through Bethlehem and Egypt, and guided their home in faith. Too many of us pour energy into jobs, hobbies, even kids, while our wives get leftovers. That’s backwards. A rock-solid marriage is the bedrock of fatherhood. Priests, you’re not off the hook—your spousal love for the Church mirrors this, birthing your role as spiritual fathers. Joseph led Mary and Jesus in holiness; we’ve got to do the same.Your challenge: Love Your Spouse Today. Ask yourself, “How am I laying down my life for her?” Take one concrete step—head to a church or adoration chapel for 15 minutes and pray for your wife (or the Church, priests). Ask her, “How can I pray for you?” and then follow through. Optimized for men searching for marriage advice or vocational strength, this episode cuts through the noise with actionable steps. Lent’s just starting; share this with a brother who needs it. Drop us a line at themanlycatholic.gmail.com with your feedback or prayer requests. We’re in this fight together, so let’s step up.Products/References<ul><li>St. Joseph Terror of Demons Prayer: Recited in the episode—search it online.</li><li>Memorare to St. Joseph: Closing prayer—grab a copy to use.</li><li>Adoration Chapel: Recommended for prayer—find one near you.</li></ul>3 Powerful Quotes<ol><li>"Your primary vocation is to your wife, not your children."  </li><li>"A strong marriage is the bedrock of the family." </li><li>"His love was not just sentimental, it was active."  </li></ol>Prioritize your wife first.

WOF 478: Bishop Barron on the Theology of Balthasar (9 of 12)

In this episode, we're joined by Fr. Michael Leclerc, pastor of St. Ignatius Parish in Montreal, and Shawna Rose, who serves on his senior leadership team overseeing Operations and Communications.

Servant Leadership

Jesse Romero is back! Now, this is a past episode, but after re-listening to it you will be fired up to go out there and preach about Jesus! From personal stories about his time as a cop encountering the devil to powerful messages to motivate men, this episode packs a punch, literally and figuratively. It is no wonder this episode garnished over 10k views on YouTube! To quote Mr. Romero directly from his website: “If your parish suffers from low energy, call me, I can jump-start it. I’m a full Gospel, Bible Believing, Born Again, Spirit Filled, Evangelical, Orthodox Catholic Christian, washed and empowered by the blood of Jesus.  With a Bible in one hand, with a rosary in my other hand, and with Jesus in my heart, you will hear the fullness of the Catholic faith in an evangelical style with devil-destroying theology.” You won't want to miss this epic episode.  <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!

WOF 497: Four Culminating Themes of the Bible (Part 1)

Why do we have a fear of dying? How do we overcome that this year? As Christians, we should not fear death, but rather ready ourselves for it, by growing in holiness and striving for eternal life. Deacon Harold breaks this open today as well as looks at Soulful Psalm 18:23-28

Fear of Dying

The Makings of a Catholic Creative | Marcellino D’Ambrosio | Episode #181

Gentlemen, ever wonder what St. Joseph felt when Mary’s pregnancy rocked his world? In this Manly Catholic Lenten Reflection, we dive into a rare gem, the Mystical City of God by Venerable Mary of Jesus of Agreda, distilled by Michael DeMaio. Okayed by the Church, this private revelation paints Joseph as a master craftsman who shunned wealth, a 33-year-old virgin picked by God with a blooming staff, and a man wrestling with doubt yet rising to protect the Holy Family. From grueling journeys to Egypt to Mary tending his frail final years, it’s raw, human, and real. Your challenge: re-listen and step into Joseph’s shoes. Use Ignatian imaginative prayer; feel his anger, resolve, and trust. How would you react? Be honest. This isn’t dogma, but a window into a saint who is flesh and bone just like us. Hit play, grab your coffee, and let’s walk Nazareth’s dust with him.Keywords: St. Joseph, Catholic men, Mystical City of God, Lent reflection, imaginative prayer, faith, Manly Catholic podcast  Products/References:  <ul><li>Book: Mystical City of God by Venerable Mary of Jesus of Agreda  </li><li>Text: City of God Stories by Michael DeMaio  </li><li>Prayer: Terror of Demons, Memorare to St. Joseph  </li></ul>Powerful Quotes:  <ol><li>“St. Joseph was 33 years old, strong, fit, and handsome... he could have become a very rich man, but instead he gave most of his earnings to the poor.”  </li><li>“If St. Joseph had believed that Mary had any guilt in causing her pregnancy, he would have died of sorrow.”  </li><li>“They had flesh and bones just like us, they had doubts, they had worries, they had hopes and dreams, and it just puts flesh in the game.”</li></ol>Key Takeaway: Today, take 10 minutes to imagine yourself as Joseph—facing Mary’s news, trekking to Egypt.

Adam Minihan and Dave Niles open this episode with a story about two broken-down vehicles, a newborn daughter named Mary, and a prayer over a dying engine that — Amen — actually worked. From there they settle in with some Basil Hayden bourbon and turn to a piece of Dante most people have never read: the <a href="https://digitaldante.columbia.edu/text/library/the-convivio/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Convivio</a>, his unfinished philosophical treatise written during his exile from Florence.The main topic: wonder. What it is, why Dante considered it the most critical virtue to cultivate in adolescence, and what we lose when we crush it in our kids... often without realizing it.Dante divides life into four stages: adolescence (birth to 25), youth (25 to 45), old age (45 to 70), and extreme old age (70 and beyond). Each stage has its own virtues and tasks. But it's adolescence — the age of obedience, wonder, and ordering loves — that Dante treats with the most urgency. Because wonder, once crushed, is very hard to resurrect.Adam and Dave unpack why screens flatten the imagination, why GK Chesterton's wonder at green grass wasn't eccentricity but sanity, and why Dante's most devastating line about education still applies today: if you raise kids without wonder, you may make them competent... but not wise.Also in this episode: the connection between Dante and Aquinas, the KU Integrated Humanities Program and David Dean, a monk at <a href="https://clearcreekmonks.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Clear Creek</a> who hadn't read his prior's book and why that was one of the wisest things Dave has ever seen, and the difference between knowledge and wisdom in the age of AI.Deacon Harrison Garlick's <a href="https://www.thegreatbookspodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ascend the Great Books</a> podcast is working through the Purgatorio right now.

Dante, Wonder, & Raising Kids Who Love Truth

Most Christians charged with positions of leadership tend to separate what they have to do every day in a practical sphere from there growth as Christians.  Spirituality and practicality are often looked at as opposites.  When this happens though, two things occur:  firstly, the world of practicality is left bereft of spiritual guidance and, simultaneously, our spirituality loses the strength that comes from our practical endeavors.  By uniting the two the Christian has the advantage.
