"Envy is the assassination of brotherly love." - Archbishop Fulton Sheen 

A blessed Lent to you all! This week kicks off a new Lenten Series on the 7 deadly sins from John and Victor. In this week's episode we begin our Lenten journey as John and Victor discuss envy, one of the seven deadly sins that goes unnoticed but can undermine our spiritual health. The guys share their own personal battles with envy, revealing how it has manifested in their lives and the struggles they've faced in overcoming it. They remind us that we are not alone in our imperfections and that envy is something we all struggle  with in our lives The two also discuss the transformative power of genuine sacrifice and how true spiritual growth often requires us to give up not just the superficial things but also those deeper attachments, sins, and wounds that keep us from fully embracing God's will. They explore the concept of internal cleansing, drawing a compelling parallel between decluttering our physical spaces and tidying up our inner lives.  Grab a seat in the pew and listen in to find out how to offer up your struggles with envy and how to combat it by living a life of gratitude. 

In this episode you will hear:
-The difference between giving up and offering up 
-What the catechism says about true sacrifice
-The deadly sin of envy and how we all struggle with it 
-How to combat the sin of envy and offer up those struggles to God this Lent 
-How to clean out your heart and allow God in as your offering this Lent

The Three Keys w/ Fr. James Mallon

God calls us to be good stewards of all the things He has entrusted to us. Jesus certainly emphasized the importance of being a good steward of the money you have. How we handle our money can affect our relationship with God, relationships, mental health, and many other areas of our life.&nbsp;
In this episode, I lay out some of the fundamentals that have helped me to gain more financial literacy and improve my personal financial situation.&nbsp;

Behold Your Mother w/ Carrie Gress

Men, are you just clocking in, or are you building the Kingdom of God through your work?In this powerful second part of our Daily Grind with God series, we confront the real battle most of us fight every day, the temptation to see our jobs as a burden instead of a mission. Whether at a desk, in the trades, on the road, or at home with the kids, your work matters to God.This is the truth grounded in Scripture and the Catechism. In Colossians 3:23, St. Paul commands us: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men." When you live this out, even the most mundane spreadsheet becomes an offering. Even changing diapers becomes an altar.This episode dives into:<ul><li>How your job is part of your divine vocation (CCC 2427)</li><li>Why St. Joseph, St. Therese of Lisieux, and St. Josemaría Escrivá are your daily companions in the grind</li><li>How to turn every workday into a prayer through intention, rededication, and excellence</li><li>The real danger of turning work into your god—or treating it like it’s meaningless</li><li>And most importantly, the spiritual challenge I give every man listening: Offer your work this week as a sacrifice for a specific intention</li></ul>It’s time to stop coasting. Get intentional. Sanctify your labor. You don’t need to change careers—you need to change your heart.3 POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:<ol><li>“Your desk, your tools, your kitchen—that is your battlefield.”</li><li>“God doesn’t want your sloppy seconds. He wants your best.”</li><li>“Are you working for God, or are you working for yourself?”</li></ol>KEY TAKEAWAY FOR CATHOLIC MEN:Start offering your work every single day for a specific intention—your spouse, your kids, your priest, the souls in purgatory. Make your labor a prayer. This is your battlefield. Fight with purpose.RESOURCES &amp; REFERENCES MENTIONED:<ul><li>Catechism of the Catholic Church, Paragraph 2427</li><li>Colossians 3:23</li><li>St. Therese of Lisieux – The Little Way</li><li>St. Josemaría Escrivá – Spirituality of Work</li><li>St. Benedict – Ora et Labora (Pray and Work)</li><li>Book: The Power of Silence by Cardinal Robert Sarah</li><li>Event: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/strength-in-silence-ihm-mens-retreat-tickets-1309258600719?aff=oddtdtcreator" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Men’s Silent Retreat –</a></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!

The world says: “Just do what makes you happy.” People are told to celebrate their impulses and call it authenticity. As religion is dismissed and God forgotten, the idea of moral commandments is mocked. What matters now is not right or wrong, but preference and pride.But the world’s way is not God’s way. God Himself carved the 10 Commandments into stone with His own finger (Ex 31:18) and gave them as permanent law. They are not suggestions—they are requirements. And Jesus didn’t abolish them. He declared: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them” (Mt 5:17, RSVCE). And in His final moments, Jesus confirmed: “I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in His love” (Jn 15:10, RSVCE). Jesus obeyed the Commandments—and He calls you to do the same.Here’s the truth: you will never find true and lasting happiness unless you follow the Commandments of God. Jesus affirmed them. Jesus lived them. And He expects you to do the same. Study them. Memorize them. Examine your life by them. And when you fail, run to Confession. Keeping the Commandments is not about guilt—it’s about doing the things God promises will lead to eternal happiness.ChallengeToday, choose one Commandment you have been neglecting and make it your focus. Reflect on how you can live it more faithfully, and make a concrete resolution to act on it before the day is done.Pray: Holy Spirit, give me the Gift of Knowledge so I may be filled with a deep knowledge and love of the 10 Commandments, and strive to live them out every day of my life. Today, help me to keep God’s law with faithfulness and joy, just as Jesus did. Amen.

Jim Hickey leads the BeatiDudes through a unique bonus episode, reflecting on Tara Grinstead's 2005 disappearance and the subsequent investigative podcast featuring her story, “Up and Vanished.” Jim had dated Tara before her disappearance, and thanks to that podcast, the mystery was solved, justice was served, and Jim was also proven innocent. Reflecting on the tragedy of Tara’s story, Jim and The BeatiDudes open up the discussion of demonic attack that leads to suicide, depression, drug use, and the million distractions that keep us from following God in every moment. Jim points out that the antidote is simple—show up. We are called to show up for others.We are called to show up for our Church.We are called to show up for our community.

Showing Up | Jim Hickey | Episode #134

Last episode, we discussed the different subcategories of emotional excellence. The one we didn't fully get to cover was setting healthy boundaries in a relationship.&nbsp;
Boundaries are meant to both keep the good in and keep the bad out. They are needed in every form of relationship from friendships to the workplace to marriage.&nbsp;
In today's episode, Emily and I go through the book Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend, which you can purchase <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Boundaries-Updated-Expanded-When-Control/dp/0310351804/ref=asc_df_0310351804/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=312425492373&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=6586121055541034541&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=1014503&amp;hvtargid=pla-425385864932&amp;psc=1">here</a>.

Ep 195 | Emily Crankfield | Creating Healthy Boundaries in a Relationship

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” These words of St. Isidore can be viewed as the refrain of his soul. They transmit the truth that we are all called to live with a sense of clarity regarding our purpose and vigor regarding the beautiful urgency of the human condition. Deacon Harold shows the balance of prayer and Bible study today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 78:70-72

Balancing Prayer & Study

For our first "Fridays with Father" episode, Nathan and Fr Chase break down one of our most essential needs: &nbsp;understanding our purpose. Why do you do what you do? What are you here on this earth for? It's time to evaluate the reason behind some of life's most important roles and tasks.&nbsp;
They have a conversation based on the book Start with Why by Simon Sinek. Fr Chase is the Chaplain of Seeking Excellence and serves as the assistant chaplain of the University of Illinois Newman Center in Champaign, IL. He is a graduate of the Mount St. Mary's University Seminary and is a consistent co-host of the podcast.&nbsp;

Ep 4 | Start with Why (part 1) w/ Fr Chase Hilgenbrinck

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel DevotionalWhere a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father Today we celebrate the manifestation of Our Lord in the great Feast of the Epiphany and recall how the Wise Men were absolutely awed by the Infant Jesus and how they thwarted the evil King Herod’s plans to kill Jesus.  We’ll reflect upon the call for every Catholic man to aspire to greatness as a man of Christ and the need to grow in the Virtue of Magnanimity. We’ll also consider the need for every Catholic man to seek the Virtue of Self-control so he can pursue the excellence of Sainthood.
