By all accounts St. Paul checks all the boxes when it comes to being an effective leader.  But of all of his many wonderful qualities, the strength that dominates his personality without a doubt is his perseverance in the face of adversity.  St. Paul is someone who finishes what he starts.  But many of us struggle to do the same.  Burn out is a real thing and persevering in the face of adversity sometimes just isn’t worth it.  What’s the secret to Paul’s outstanding sense of grit and how can we imitate him today?

WOF 447: The Crossroads of Religion & Politics—Part 2

The very first Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis centered on the theme of evangelization. What does his message have to say to us involved in the secular world in professions that don’t seem directly involved in the life of the evangelizer?  How can we be missionary disciples today?

100 Things You Can Give Up For Lent!

In order to reveal himself to men, in the condescension of his goodness God speaks to them in human words: "Indeed the words of God, expressed in the words of men, are in every way like human language, just as the Word of the eternal Father, when he took on himself the flesh of human weakness, became like men."  Deacon Harold helps us explore ways to better understand God's word. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 136.

<blockquote>
<div>March 2nd is Ash Wednesday, and over a billion people will start living different in some way. Maybe giving up chocolate or alcohol, or whatever.</div>
For a lot of Catholics, Lent is a time of finding the easiest way to “give something up”. But, at the end of those 40 days, did that sacrifice really make a difference?

This year, there’s a new opportunity out there specifically for men that will actually help you grow closer to God and become a better man.

You’ve heard me talk about Exodus 90 — but let me tell you about Exodus Lent: a 40-day journey that will challenge you to dig a little deeper this year.

If your first reaction is: “I’m absolutely not taking cold showers” well you’re in luck: men who take on the Exodus Lent get to take warm showers, drink alcohol, and — when you’re with others — watch TV and sports. But don’t be fooled, this will still be a challenging 40 days of preparation for living the Christian life, for the rest of your life.

Here’s how it works:

First — Over the 40 days of Lent, men commit to daily prayer, setting aside a minimum of 20 minutes to spend with the Lord. Each day includes a scripture reading and reflection written to help men better understand, grow in, and live virtue.

Second — More than just giving up chocolate, men take up a range of disciplines and sacrifices for the season of Lent. Sweets, snacks, social media, are all gone.

Third — Men commit to a fraternity of 5-7 men. Each week, the fraternity meets to pray together, check in, hold each other accountable and encourage one another.

On Easter Sunday, you’ll walk away with a new and lasting understanding of what it means to live the full Christian life. Chocolate bunnies and all.

In high school he had been an all-state running back and was even named to the 2012 Minnesota Vikings all-state team and Associated Press all-state second team. In addition, he was an outstanding wrestler in high school, winning the 2012 state championship. Along the way he, unfortunately, went through a major event in his family. Nowadays he is the co-founder of and head trainer at Rise Training & Fitness in Minnesota.

This week, I’m thrilled to have Heather Khym, co-host of the Abiding Together Podcast, join me for a special episode. With Advent in full swing, Heather and I dive deep into the meaning of this beautiful season and how it’s so much more than just a countdown to Christmas.

Heather shares the inspiration behind her Advent journal, Encountering Emmanuel, and how Jesus wants to meet us in our “messy stables”—the broken, vulnerable places we often hide. We reflect on the importance of slowing down, making space for Christ, and letting Him enter our hearts to bring healing and freedom.

In this conversation, we explore some powerful truths:

👉Why Advent feels overlooked and how we can reclaim its importance.
👉How to recognize Christ as the healer who enters our struggles, not just a distant figure.
👉Heather’s personal stories of vulnerability and the real freedom that comes when we let go of control.
👉Practical ways to prepare your heart for Jesus this season, using Heather’s guided reflections and journaling prompts.

Advent is a time to pause, reflect, and encounter Christ anew. I hope this episode inspires you to open your heart to Him, whether that means diving into Heather’s journal or simply carving out quiet time to pray.

Why Did the Word Become Flesh? (Part 4)

Tim notes that the real crisis lies in nothing more than a lack of discipleship. Everything flows from that point. However, fixing that issue is easier said than done because the roots run deep. Cultural Catholicism is dying, and that poses challenges.


Chapter 6: The Real Crisis 

Jesus is cryptically announced by St. John the Baptist. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of Piety from the Holy Spirit so he can be transformed by the liturgical life of Christ&apos;s Holy Catholic Church and by seeking the Gift of Fortitude from the Holy Spirit so he witness for Jesus Christ and can commit to and prepare for martyrdom.

Deleting Twitter LIVE! (An argument against Twitter + Deleting my account)

In Session 1, we saw that men and society has reduced fatherhood to the exchange of a small amount of genetic material. Perhaps we’ve minimized the concept of fatherhood because we’ve minimized the concept of the human person. In this session, we will look at the mystery of the human person – starting with neurology.

The human person is mind and body – spirit and matter. You are the father of your child’s material body. God the Father creates your child’s spiritual soul. God the Father then uses your fatherhood to become a food for your child’s soul.

They will watch your every move and then incorporate it into working models of the world.  Let’s look at the example of St. Therese and St. Louis Martin.  Let us pray to produce good fruit like St. Louis Martin.

Fatherhood: Session 2 - The Mystery of a Child

In this episode, I'm excited to welcome back Dr. Bob Schuchts, founder of the JPII Healing Center and co-host of the Restoring the Glory podcast. Dr. Bob is a renowned author and spiritual leader, known for his transformative books Be Healed, Be Restored, Be Transformed, and Be Devoted. Today, we dive deep into the power of healing, specifically for men, and how the upcoming Restored Men’s Healing Conference is set to impact men’s lives.

👉 Register for the Restored Men’s Healing Conference (In-Person & Live Stream): https://jpiihealingcenter.org/event/restored_1114/

We kick off the discussion with the story behind this new men’s conference, happening from November 14-16, 2024, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and what inspired Dr. Bob to create this event, modeled after his successful women’s conferences. Throughout the episode, we touch on several key topics, including why healing is so crucial for men, how we often ignore pain or trauma, and the father wounds many men struggle with.

We also reflect on personal stories about how Dr. Bob’s ministry has shaped my life, and how Jesus’ healing can help men confront the issues that have long held them back. Dr. Bob shares how essential it is to move past pain, addictions, and emotional wounds in order to lead healthier relationships and spiritual lives.

Why Men Need Healing w/ Dr. Bob Schuchts

A Dram with Matthew Christoff

Back when I worked as an apologist with Catholic Answers we received a lot of questions around this time of year. Perhaps the most common was, “are Sunday’s excluded from Lent?” The answer is . . . are you ready for this? No. Sunday’s are not excluded from Lent. According to the <a href= "https://www.ewtn.com/library/CURIA/CDWLITYR.HTM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">General Norms for the Liturgical Year and the Calendar</a>, “Lent runs from Ash Wednesday until the Mass of the Lord’s Supper exclusive” (28). No exceptions are given for Sunday’s during Lent. In fact, a couple of paragraphs later the GN says: “The Sundays of this season are called the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Sundays of Lent. The Sixth Sunday, which marks the beginning of Holy Week, is called Passion Sunday (Palm Sunday)” (30). So there you have it. Now, does that mean that we cannot choose to allow ourselves the things we voluntarily gave up for lent? No, it doesn’t. These voluntary fasts are personal devotions. Because they have been voluntarily taken up, we can choose to set them aside. That said, be awesome and sacrifice this Lent. What my P.E coach told me in middle-school applies to Lent also, “mate, if it’s not hurting, you’re not doing it right.” Link to GN here: <a href= "https://www.ewtn.com/library/CURIA/CDWLITYR.HTM">https://www.ewtn.com/library/CURIA/CDWLITYR.HTM</a> --- SPONSORS EL Investments: <a href= "https://www.elinvestments.net/pints">https://www.elinvestments.net/pints</a> Exodus 90: <a href= "https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/">https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/</a>  Hallow: <a href= "http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a>  STRIVE: <a href= "https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a>  GIVING Patreon: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

46.5 Are Sundays part of lent?

The BeatiDudes proudly present the second of three segments recorded live at their booth during the 10th National Eucharistic Congress.Luis Gonzales from episodes #075 and #076 pops by the booth to kick off the guest appearances and shares his joy for the Eucharist and his love for serving others. On Blessed are the Joke Makers with Luis, the Dudes must take on the persona of a magician to address the prompt, “I would _________, for Christmas.” The TBD Question with Luis and the Dudes – When you are walking around the NEC, which religious order connects with you in an emotional and/or spiritual way? Next, a young man named Jonathan from Colorado agrees to jump into the guest seat without knowing what he is getting into. He was visiting the Congress with his immediate and extended family. He shared details about his work with robotics, his appreciation for family, and his excitement to hear Chris Stefanick and many others. What happens next nearly breaks the internet – all seven of Jeff Schiefelbein’s kids jumped on the show to laugh, scream, and serve as extra special guests. Lorelei and Emilia both get to spend some special time as individual guests. Next, with Emilia as the judge, the Dudes play another round of Blessed are the Joke Makers, where they must take on the persona of an extraterrestrial to address the prompt, “The best pilgrimages offer ____ to their pilgrims.” Following the appearance of her kids, Jeff’s wife Amanda jumps on the show for some quick encouragement and constructive feedback.Then Tate from Tampa joins the show. He is on a school trip with friends and chaperones and looking to fall more in love with the Eucharist. Tate judges the BeatiDudes on Blessed are the Joke Makers, in which the Dudes must take on the persona of Geekiest Tech Nerd to address the prompt, “Doubting Thomas wished he was known for ______.”Jose from Indiana and three of his five kids stop by the booth for some authentic fraternity. He reflects on the ways in which we can live our faith in everyday life. After Jose, the show concludes with Lauren Moore from the Catholic Music Initiative.

Blessed are the JOKE MAKERS | NEC Part 2 | Episode #149

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss one of the biggest sins we all face everyday. Selfishness.

Selfishness

Envy leads to shame.

Hosts Pat Lencioni and Chris Stefanick give a daily reflection for Christians in the workplace.

Jealousy

The annual United Nations World Happiness Report, which measures the happiness of different countries, is always dominated by Scandinavian nations. Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and Finland have always been in the top ten. But what’s striking is that these happiest countries are also those which rank among the least religious. On the flip side, most African countries, which tend to be the very religious, consistently land near the bottom of the U.N. Happiness Report. What does Bishop Barron make of this? How should we actually define happiness, and what have the great thinkers and saints throughout time said about finding happiness? That’s what we discuss in today’s episode. A listener asks how we reconcile all the violence/competition seen in nature with the Creator God of peace.

WOF 195: What Makes Us Happy?

Christianity means that we belong to Christ as members of His body and that means that we extend his mission through our own body, our own space, and time.  What is the mission of Christ.  One of the reasons He says He came to this world was to seek and to save what is lost.  If we are to be faithful to our mission we need to do the same.

DGT Episode 71 - Christ's Mission, Our Mission Part 5 - To Seek What Was Lost

Work is a special frontier for men with the world. We are doing more than bringing Christ to the workplace. We are discovering him already there. This is the Gospel of work.

In this session we return to Father Kapaun, who just months before his capture reminded his troops that there will come a time when each of us must make a choice between being loyal to the true faith or giving our allegiance to something else. Faced with persecutions to make him choose the easy route, Father Kapaun stood firm in his faith and encourages us to do the same.

Blessed are They who are Persecuted for the Sake of Righteousness

We are taking the next few episodes of the show to discuss each of the great men and women featured on Word On Fire's epic new film series, Catholicism: The Pivotal Players.

A former National Evangelization Team missionary, Bishop Cozzens also serves as Chairman of the Board for NET Ministries. We discuss Bishop Cozzens’ vocation story, why the Eucharist is the “Source and Summit of the Christian life,” the goals of the Eucharistic Revival and how Array of Hope is contributing to it! -- About Bp. Andrew CozzensBishop Cozzens, who has served as Auxiliary Bishop for the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis since 2013, was born August 3, 1968. He is the son of Jack and Judy Cozzens and the youngest of three children. Bishop Cozzens graduated from Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, where he experienced a deepening of the faith through the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. During a period of discernment after college, Bishop Cozzens served as a traveling missionary to young people around the country with Twin Cities-based NET Ministries. During his first month as a missionary, his NET team served in the Diocese of Crookston putting on retreats in the parishes and schools throughout the diocese. After serving with NET Ministries, he joined the Companions of Christ, a fraternity of diocesan priests in Saint Paul, and worked for Saint Paul’s Outreach leading college Bible study groups. After his year of discernment, he was accepted into the Saint Paul Seminary. Four years later, in 1997, he was ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. Bishop Cozzens served as Parochial Vicar at the Cathedral of Saint Paul and then Faribault Catholic Community (now Divine Mercy) before being sent to Rome for doctoral studies. Upon his return to Minnesota, Bishop Cozzens served as a Professor of Sacramental Theology and a Formator at the Saint Paul Seminary from 2006 until 2013. In the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis Bishop Cozzens has served as Vicar for Catholic Education and supervised the Archdiocesan Synod Process while overseeing the offices of Latino Ministry, Evangelization, and Marriage, Family and Life.  He currently serves as the chair of the board for NET Ministries, St. Paul’s Outreach, The Institute for Priestly Formation and The Seminary Formation Council.

A Eucharistic Revival w/ Bishop Andrew Cozzens

Huge thanks to Philipe Ortiz and Katie Kuchar in particular for supporting to the show! --- We may speak about prayer in two ways: first, by considering it in itself; secondly, by considering it in its cause. The cause of prayer is the desire of charity, from which prayer ought to arise: and this desire ought to be in us continually, either actually or virtually, for the virtue of this desire remains in whatever we do out of charity; and we ought to "do all things to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31). From this point of view prayer ought to be continual: wherefore Augustine says (ad Probam, Ep. cxxx, 9): "Faith, hope and charity are by themselves a prayer of continual longing." But prayer, considered in itself, cannot be continual, because we have to be busy about other works, and, as Augustine says (ad Probam. Ep. cxxx, 9), "we pray to God with our lips at certain intervals and seasons, in order to admonish ourselves by means of such like signs, to take note of the amount of our progress in that desire, and to arouse ourselves more eagerly to an increase thereof." Now the quantity of a thing should be commensurate with its end, for instance the quantity of the dose should be commensurate with health. And so it is becoming that prayer should last long enough to arouse the fervor of the interior desire: and when it exceeds this measure, so that it cannot be continued any longer without causing weariness, it should be discontinued. Wherefore Augustine says (ad Probam. Ep. cxxx): "It is said that the brethren in Egypt make frequent but very short prayers, rapid ejaculations, as it were, lest that vigilant and erect attention which is so necessary in prayer slacken and languish, through the strain being prolonged. By so doing they make it sufficiently clear not only that this attention must not be forced if we are unable to keep it up, but also that if we are able to continue, it should not be broken off too soon." And just as we must judge of this in private prayers by considering the attention of the person praying, so too, in public prayers we must judge of it by considering the devotion of the people.   Objection 1. It would seem that prayer should not be continual. It is written (Matthew 6:7): "When you are praying, speak not much." Now one who prays a long time needs to speak much, especially if his be vocal prayer. Therefore prayer should not last a long time. Reply to Objection 1. As Augustine says (ad Probam. Ep. cxxx), "to pray with many words is not the same as to pray long; to speak long is one thing, to be devout long is another. For it is written that our Lord passed the whole night in prayer, and that He 'prayed the longer' in order to set us an example." Further on he says: "When praying say little, yet pray much so long as your attention is fervent. For to say much in prayer is to discuss your need in too many words: whereas to pray much is to knock at the door of Him we pray, by the continuous and devout clamor of the heart. Indeed this business is frequently done with groans rather than with words, with tears rather than with speech." Objection 4. On the contrary, It would seem that we ought to pray continually. For our Lord said (Luke 18:1): "We ought always to pray, and not to faint": and it is written (1 Thessalonians 5:17): "Pray without ceasing." Reply to Objection 4. One may pray continually, either through having a continual desire, as stated above; or through praying at certain fixed times, though interruptedly; or by reason of the effect, whether in the person who prays--because he remains more devout even after praying, or in some other person--as when by his kindness a man incites another to pray for him, even after he himself has ceased praying.  ST.

42: Is it possible to pray at all times?

The real cross of prayer is to believe that Jesus is Lord of every single situation in our lives. Also diving into the Soulful Psalms with Psalm 69.

You Will Know Them By Their Fruits - Episode 20 - Q&A

Article 2. Whether it is lawful to kill sinners? Objection 1. It would seem unlawful to kill men who have sinned. For our Lord in the parable (Matthew 13) forbade the uprooting of the cockle which denotes wicked men according to a gloss. Now whatever is forbidden by God is a sin. Therefore it is a sin to kill a sinner. Objection 2. Further, human justice is conformed to Divine justice. Now according to Divine justice sinners are kept back for repentance, according to Ezekiel 33:11, "I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live." Therefore it seems altogether unjust to kill sinners. Objection 3. Further, it is not lawful, for any good end whatever, to do that which is evil in itself, according to Augustine(Contra Mendac. vii) and the Philosopher (Ethic. ii, 6). Now to kill a man is evil in itself, since we are bound to havecharity towards all men, and "we wish our friends to live and to exist," according to Ethic. ix, 4. Therefore it is nowise lawful to kill a man who has sinned. On the contrary, It is written (Exodus 22:18): "Wizards thou shalt not suffer to live"; and (Psalm 100:8): "In the morning I put to death all the wicked of the land." I answer that, As stated above (Article 1), it is lawful to kill dumb animals, in so far as they are naturally directed toman's use, as the imperfect is directed to the perfect. Now every part is directed to the whole, as imperfect to perfect, wherefore every part is naturally for the sake of the whole. For this reason we observe that if the health of the whole body demands the excision of a member, through its being decayed or infectious to the other members, it will be both praiseworthy and advantageous to have it cut away. Now every individual person is compared to the whole community, as part to whole. Therefore if a man be dangerous and infectious to the community, on account of some sin, it is praiseworthy and advantageous that he be killed in order to safeguard the common good, since "a little leaven corrupteth the whole lump" (1 Corinthians 5:6). Reply to Objection 1. Our Lord commanded them to forbear from uprooting the cockle in order to spare the wheat, i.e. the good. This occurs when the wicked cannot be slain without the good being killed with them, either because thewicked lie hidden among the good, or because they have many followers, so that they cannot be killed without danger to the good, as Augustine says (Contra Parmen. iii, 2). Wherefore our Lord teaches that we should rather allow the wickedto live, and that vengeance is to be delayed until the last judgment, rather than that the good be put to death together with the wicked. When, however, the good incur no danger, but rather are protected and saved by the slaying of thewicked, then the latter may be lawfully put to death. Reply to Objection 2. According to the order of His wisdom, God sometimes slays sinners forthwith in order to deliver the good, whereas sometimes He allows them time to repent, according as He knows what is expedient for His elect. This also does human justice imitate according to its powers; for it puts to death those who are dangerous to others, while it allows time for repentance to those who sin without grievously harming others. Reply to Objection 3. By sinning man departs from the order of reason, and consequently falls away from the dignity of his manhood, in so far as he is naturally free, and exists for himself, and he falls into the slavish state of the beasts, by being disposed of according as he is useful to others. This is expressed in Psalm 48:21: "Man, when he was in honor, did not understand; he hath been compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them," and Proverbs 11:29: "The fool shall serve the wise." Hence, although it be evil in itself to kill a man so long as he preserve his dignity, yet it may begood to kill a man who has sinned, even as it is to kill a beast. For a bad man is worse than a beast, and is more harmful, as the Philosopher states (Polit. i, 1 and Ethic. vii, 6). ST II-II. Q 64.
