This week on They That Hope, Deacon Bob Rice and Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, tackle the rising tide of anxiety affecting young people—and all of us!  From Super Bowl surprises to shocking NBA trades, it’s a whirlwind of headlines, but the heart of this conversation is deeper: Why are so many teens (and adults) overwhelmed, and what can we do about it? 
Drawing from Dr. Greg Bottaro’s new “In Focus” series, alongside insights from The Anxious Generation and Bad Therapy, the hosts explore how overprotection in the real world and chaos online have created a generation experiencing heightened anxiety. They also reflect on parenting, prayer, digital safety, and the role of faith in fostering real peace and resilience. 
Meanwhile, Father Dave celebrates his 60th birthday (officially “elderly”), Deacon Bob returns from a retreat in Arizona and a week in Texas, and together they close with a hopeful call for Christian unity in a fractured world. 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Father Dave Is Officially Old (and Kind of Okay With It)

The Eagles crush the Chiefs in a <a href='https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401671889/chiefs-eagles'>game full of fireworks</a>—literally. Deacon Bob vents about the lopsided score, Father Dave praises the <a href='https://youtu.be/K0iKgJXy_gk?si=Zt7a1Sqxz4HIYMs3'>Clydesdale commercial</a>, and both give nods to halftime outfits that were refreshingly modest.

In a trade that stunned fans and players alike, <a href='https://www.nba.com/player/1629029/luka-doncic'>Luka Dončić</a> heads to L.A. while <a href='https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/6583/anthony-davis'>Anthony Davis</a> lands in Dallas.

Spoiler: Pope Francis isn’t the first to suggest it. 
(36:18) Signs of Hope: Lifelong Ministry and Lifelong Friends

Stressed Out

David Colletti is a loving husband, father, and people-focused leader driving outsized impact through a culture of extraordinary teams built on character, magnanimity, authenticity, integrity, and purpose. Colletti is Senior Vice President of Real Estate and Mergers &amp; Acquisitions for 7-Eleven, Inc. He is responsible for all store growth and integration in the U.S. and Canada, including new store builds, acquisitions and integration, store development in partnership with the Construction team, and managing the company’s extensive portfolio of physical assets to ensure they deliver maximum value to 7-Eleven. Colletti serves on the board of the DFW Retail Executives Association. He received a dual-degree Bachelor of Arts from The Catholic University of America and his Juris Doctor from George Washington University Law School.The show starts with the Dudes slurping up a 7-Eleven history lesson from David. Quickly, we learn that Colletti was drawn to his first job on 7-Eleven’s legal team because of the Jesus conversations he had when discussing servant leadership during his interviews. BIG MOMENT - On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a Brainiac Know-It-All to address the prompt “You know you’re Catholic when you love talking about ______.” But there is a twist - - this version of the game is worth 711 points, and the results may change the Season One scoreboard completely. On TBD, David and the Dudes answer the question of the day, “What is something that makes you mad.” And to wrap up the show with another Reverse Simpsons, the Dudes play a homegrown version of “Catch Phrase.” Nick and Paul take turns trying to get David to guess as many words or phrases as possible out of 10 possible during the one-minute and 33-second timer. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

Glendalough Pot Still Irish Whiskey -

There is no more Irish a whiskey than Pot Still, so we felt it was fitting to age it in Irish Oak.

We at Glendalough Distillery are proud to play our part in bringing back the use of Irish oak for whiskey cask-making.

This most quintessentially Irish style of whiskey, pot still, is first matured in ex-bourbon casks, then in Irish Oak felled in the mountains around the distillery.

While the bourbon cask softens and sweetens the whiskey, the higher levels of flavor in Irish oak complement and balance the classic pot still spices.

<div></div>
<div>

There’s a common thread among thousands of formerly sinful people we now call Saints.

They had a relationship with God.

Which then inspired them to ‘set the world on fire’ as Catherine of Sienna put it.

But, more specifically, it meant they put in the time.

They sat with the Lord. Spoke with Him. Listened to Him.

Daily.

They unveiled their hearts and wounds and problems to Him.

They offered him thanks and gratitude.

They left their sufferings with Him on the altar.

They begged for His help.

My question to you: are you putting in the time?

I’m not talking about time to just talk at Him or sit in church making a mental grocery list. I’m talking about time to build a consistent, honest relationship. Time to speak, and time to listen.

Whether you want to pray a daily holy hour or hit up adoration once a week, I have a guide here from the makers of Exodus 90 specifically about praying a Holy Hour.

Inside, you’ll find a simple breakdown that shows you how to structure your time with the Lord.

8th Day of Easter

&quot;Our public education system has not only undermined religion, it has replaced religion with socio-political ideology.&quot; Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Fr. Deacon Christopher Warner of the Acton Institute about the state of modern education and the challenges facing Catholic parents. Our discussion explores:- How public education has shifted from teaching critical thinking to promoting ideological indoctrination- The historical roots of education&#39;s transformation through cultural Marxism and the sexual revolution- Why all education is inherently sectarian and reflects specific worldviews- The false anthropologies being taught to children that contradict Catholic understanding of human nature- How parents can navigate a system increasingly hostile to Christian values- The principle of subsidiarity in education and why it &quot;begins at home&quot;- Practical alternatives including homeschooling, private education, and hybrid approaches- The importance of protecting children from harmful media influencesFr. Deacon Christopher shares insights from his experience as a Catholic educator and offers guidance for parents seeking to raise children with authentic Catholic formation. Whether you&#39;re concerned about the public school curriculum or looking for alternatives, this conversation provides a framework for understanding today&#39;s educational challenges through a Catholic lens.This episode reminds us that as parents are the primary educators of their children, we must be vigilant about the values and worldview being taught to the next generation - and be prepared to take more active roles in their education when necessary.We want to hear from you!

4 Reasons Why the Devil Hates the Blessed Virgin

Mike Neri has a long record of service to the nation, his communities, and corporate and entrepreneurial organizations. A West Point graduate, Mike served in the Army on active duty for 12 years, attaining the rank of Major. He served in duty assignments and positions of leadership in the 1st Cavalry Division, the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, the 10th Combat Support Hospital, and in the Department of the Army Staff in the Pentagon. While on active duty serving in Colorado, Mike earned his MBA from Regis University. Mike transitioned to corporate America in 2004 and began a career in banking &amp; financial services specializing in Fintech and Payments.What defines Mike most is his care, love, and focus on his family. The show starts with a reflection on how Mike and Jeff met in 2005 through the Christ Renews His Parish retreat at St. Thomas Aquinas in East Dallas. This proved to be a formative moment for Mike’s spiritual journey and his connection to authentic Catholic community for himself and his family. Mike goes on to share the journey of his time in the Army and the various stages of his career and work while also raising a family. During his time serving in Washington, DC, Mike worked for a few years in the Pentagon and happened to be onsite during the attacks of September 11, 2001. Mike’s original office was in the direct path of the airplane that struck the Pentagon, and thankfully his office had relocated to the inner ring only months earlier for a renovation. This tragic experience of this event reignited Mike’s faith. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a hypochondriac to address the question, “What should I give up for Lent?” This episode’s TBD question asks Mike and the Dudes to reflect on another major world event that they can recall during their lifetime other than 9/11. For Reverse Simpsons, Jeff takes his co-hosts and Mike through a 3-question round of “Finish these lyrics,” and you are encouraged to play along at home. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

How an Atheist’s Heart was Changed in St. Gemma Galgani's Hometown | Guest Mathias Lehnfeld

Kyle Washut, president of Wyoming Catholic College, joins the bonus show to discuss the trials and triumphs of family life. He and his wife Erin are happily raising their six kids, ranging from high school to one year old. Kyle attributes all family triumphs to the work of our Lord and recognizes that we are not the responsible party for all the goodness that comes from our kids.He recounts the harrowing tale of their fifth baby, Macrina, and the scare that occurred when his wife went into labor at 19 weeks pregnant. Needing a higher order of medical care to stop the hemorrhaging, Erin and Kyle had to be transported to a major hospital in Denver by plane. When they left the kids behind, they feared that Erin might not survive, and they were told that the baby would certainly not make it. The doctors encouraged the couple to perform a “procedure,” which was a euphemism for an abortion. Kyle knew at this moment they were facing a medical community that was not on the same page as the family, and the couple would need to rearrange their entire lives to prevent the ongoing pressure to abort.Kyle couldn’t return to Wyoming Catholic College, where he was serving as a dean and a professor, while his wife and unborn baby needed him in Denver. As Erin remained pregnant for ten more weeks in the hospital, the entire college met and decided to reorganize the schedules and plans of EVERYONE—all staff, students, and faculty—to accommodate the family's needs in supporting this birth. Baby Macrina is now a thriving five-year-old girl. This story is the greatest commercial anyone could ever imagine for how community is formed in special places like Wyoming Catholic College.

Catholics in Exile (Dr. Scott Hahn) | Ep. 432

As we try to navigate our way as Catholics in a modern world many of us wonder what the recipe is for true success.  Everyone wants a happy world and a healthy country but many people aren’t very clear about what role the Church or God has to play in giving us those.  In fact, however, there is a very clear recipe.  And I like to call it the four anchors.  In this five part series I am going to walk you through those four anchors and give you practical tips on how to implement them yourself.

DGT Episode 265 - God Is The Best Foundation - The Four Anchors Part 1

What starts as a small vice for men spirals into continuous sin, addiction, and spiritual destruction. Today, John Heinen and Devin Schadt tackle three devastating habits that plague virtually every man's journey. They reveal the surprising connection between self-perception and our most dangerous tendencies, showing how both thinking too little and too much of ourselves leads down identical paths to self-destruction. With brutal honesty from their own experiences, John and Devin offer a practical and simple framework for understanding and conquering these universal male struggles before they consume your life, relationships, and soul. Every man needs these insights for the battles in his life. 🔥 NEW Catholic Gentleman Apparel - https://store.catholicgentleman.com/collections/apparel-1 Books for the Journey: LEAD - <a href="https://shop.stewardshipmission.com/products/lead-daily-devontions-for-every-man">Click Here</a> QUESTION FOR US: We love to answer your questions on the show so send them our way to <a href="mailto:podcast@catholicgentleman.com">podcast@catholicgentleman.com</a> Check out the Fathers of St. Joseph - https://fathersofstjoseph.org/ Follow Us On Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheCatholicGentleman 🔴 CATHOLIC GENTLEMAN PLUS (ENTERTAINMENT SESSION JUST LANDED)Enjoy 23 unique sessions for men, access exclusive weekly content, ebooks, guest series, and our live Q and A at Catholic Gentleman Plus: https://catholicgentlemanplus.comHelp Support the Catholic Gentleman by either signing up for CG+ https://catholicgentlemanplus.com or https://catholicgentleman.com/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Victory Over Bad Habits: The 3 Battles Every Man Faces

Every Advent Christians are treated to readings from the Gospel which remind them to stay awake.  In Luke chapter 21 Our Lord says, “Keep on the alert at all times.”  Obviously Our Lord here is referring here to a spiritual alertness but it’s also something that we can apply in the world of business.  To what degree does a leader need to stay awake at all times?  How can his faith help him to do so?  And how can his business help him to stay awake in his faith?

DGT Episode 151 - Staying Awake - Flexibility, The Art Of Power Part 3

In this week&#39;s episode of Catholic ReCon, testimonies from reverts and converts, guest Jeremy Robinson completely opens his heart to share the good news of Jesus Christ -- the Incarnate Son of God, fully present in the Holy Eucharist.

Why a Pentecostal Couple Researched Catholicism

By our baptism God calls us to be leaders of our world.  But where does leadership begin?  How can someone who might not customarily be used to leading actually begin to assert themselves under God’s grace in the world around them?  St. Thomas Aquinas offers us some amazing insights from his Summa Theologica.  Let’s dive in and talk about the movement of the will and it’s power to lead.

DGT Episode 113 - Leadership From Aquinas - A Course For Catholic Leaders Part 2

Are you struggling with emotional wounds, shame, anxiety, or spiritual dryness?&nbsp; In this episode of A Reason for Hope Podcast, Mario Costabile sits down with Dr. Bob Schuchts—founder of the John Paul II Healing Center and author of Be Healed—who shares how true healing comes through a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. Many faithful Christians love God but still feel stuck in patterns of fear, unforgiveness, trauma, or broken relationships. In this episode, we explore the roots of spiritual and emotional wounds, why forgiveness is essential to healing, and how unhealed pain can affect our relationship with God. Bob also shares insights from the recent John Paul II Healing Center retreat and offers practical steps to invite Jesus into your wounds. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re not experiencing the healing you pray for, or if healing is even possible for you, this conversation will remind you that Jesus is not just a teacher—He is a healer. No wound is beyond His mercy. No heart is beyond restoration. 🙏 Subscribe for more Catholic content on healing, faith, spiritual growth, and encountering Christ. -Support our Sponsors-<a href="https://bit.ly/4pd2t9B" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Magnifier</a>&nbsp;- An exciting new magazine to awaken wonder in children ages 7–12. -Support Our Mission-<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/donate" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Donate Here</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Book an Event</a> -Follow Us On Social Media-Facebook:&nbsp;<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast</a>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast</a>YouTube:&nbsp;<a href="https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast</a>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&nbsp;https://www.tiktok.com/@r4hpodcast</a> -Follow Dr. Bob Schuchts -Website - <a href="https://jpiihealingcenter.org/" target="_blank">https://jpiihealingcenter.org/</a>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jpiihealingcenter/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/jpiihealingcenter/</a>Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JP2HealingCenter" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/JP2HealingCenter</a>X - <a href="https://x.com/JPIIHealing" target="_blank">https://x.com/JPIIHealing</a>YouTube - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@JPIIHealingCenter" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@JPIIHealingCenter</a>Podcast - <a href="https://www.restoretheglorypodcast.com/" target="_blank">https://www.restoretheglorypodcast.com/</a> ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction 01:31 Start of Interview 02:43 What gravitated you toward Healing in the Church? 03:59 Healing The Whole Person 05:16 How is Healing Connected to our Salvation? 07:58 How do we help those in our lives to acknowledge the need for healing?13:01 Having compassion toward those who hurt us 16:43 The Limitations of Therapy Without God 24:26 The importance of identifying the roots of our wounds 28:18 The Importance of Forgiveness in Healing31:31 What is a Spiritual Stronghold?34:21 Demonic Strongholds and Lies36:49 Ways to strenghten ourselves in healing 42:30 Jesus as our Healer44:49 The Invitation to Return to God's Love46:42 What Bob is Up To Next

Modernity's Demand

What do you do when every conversation with your wife seems to go sideways, even when you're trying to do the right thing? John Heinen and Devin Schadt sit down to expose the hidden habits that slowly destroy communication within marriages. With spiritual clarity and lived experience, they unpack how small patterns, like avoidance, assumptions, or rushed “fixes/hacks", can consistently unravel trust between husband and wife.
Instead of playing defense, this episode shows men 5 ways to take responsibility for the tone, clarity, and direction of the most important conversations in their home. We discuss how resentment breeds in the silent darkness of unmet needs. Because a Catholic husband doesn’t just talk, he leads. And that starts with the next conversation.

How to Stop Fighting with Your Wife

Episode 190: The Man in the Mirror

Have you ever just rubbed someone the wrong way? Or they just irk you a little bit? Maybe it is NOT an unsolvable mystery. Sometimes our reactions that seem over-the-top are actually steaming from wounded places deep-down in our hearts. Maybe it is time we REALLY look at ourselves in the mirror. 

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

- Keeping up the facade of “I’m fine” 
- Two people blinded to their own faults
- Complaining and blaming others is never the solution
- Practical tips for managing our own wounds!

The Man In The Mirror

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss Vulnerability as the first step towards becoming the man God created you to be.

Vulnerability

Remembrance is at the heart of the Christian life. When we forget who we are and Whose we are, we often fail to see the great gift of our lives and the abundant blessings we have received. Join John and Victor as they challenge us to focus not simply on the material gifts of Christmas, but on The Gift of Christ and his saving power in our lives. 

Found in this episode: 
-the necessity and simplicity of gratitude
-the joy of giving 
-Allowing our hearts to be needy and poor before the Lord

Advent- Remember Your Blessings

Who are men listening to in 2025?

Join us in the pew this week for a conversation with longtime friend and guest Pete Burak, Vice President of Renewal Ministries.

So many young men who desire discipleship are drawn to online influencers because they are validating that desire with a distorted version of masculinity. What they’re really longing for is the radical call of Jesus—the only One who can truly transform a man’s heart. Following Jesus means going all in. It means rejecting a lukewarm heart and letting Him radically transform your life as a man of God.

Masculinity isn’t toxic. It’s holy—when Jesus is at the center.

How St. Joseph became the patron of Aaron Joseph

Hey all, For the next 2 weeks we're doing a promotion. If you become a $10 or more patron of Pints With Aquinas here, I'll send you all that other free stuff AND I'll send you a limited edition Thomas Aquinas magnet for your car ... AND I'll send you a super awkward private video message. --- Today I interview Dr. Brant Pitre. Here's a bit about him: <a href="https://www.brantpitre.com/">Dr. Brant Pitre</a> is Distinguished Research Professor of Scripture at the Augustine Institute in Denver, CO. He earned his Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Notre Dame, where he specialized in the study of the New Testament and ancient Judaism. He is the author of several articles and books, including: Jesus, the Tribulation, and the End of the Exile (Baker Academic, 2005), Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist (Image Books, 2011), Jesus the Bridegroom (Image Books, 2014), Jesus and the Last Supper (Eerdmans, 2015), and The Case for Jesus (Image, 2016). Dr. Pitre is an extremely enthusiastic and engaging speaker who lectures regularly across the United States. He has produced dozens of Bible studies on CD, DVD, and MP3, in which he explores the biblical foundations of Catholic faith and theology. He currently lives in Gray, Louisiana, with his wife Elizabeth, and their five children. --- Here's the entire article I read from today from Aquinas: Article 4. Whether Christ should have committed His doctrine to writing? Objection 1. It would seem that Christ should have committed His doctrine to writing. For the purpose of writing is to hand down doctrine to posterity. Now Christ's doctrine was destined to endure for ever, according to Luke 21:33: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away." Therefore it seems that Christ should have committed His doctrine to writing. Objection 2. Further, the Old Law was a foreshadowing of Christ, according to Hebrews 10:1: "The Law has [Vulgate: 'having'] a shadow of the good things to come." Now the Old Law was put into writing by God, according to Exodus 24:12: "I will give thee" two "tables of stone and the law, and the commandments which I have written." Therefore it seems that Christ also should have put His doctrine into writing. Objection 3. Further, to Christ, who came to enlighten them that sit in darkness (Luke 1:79), it belonged to remove occasions of error, and to open out the road to faith. Now He would have done this by putting His teaching into writing: for Augustine says (De Consensu Evang. i) that "some there are who wonder why our Lord wrote nothing, so that we have to believe what others have written about Him. Especially do those pagans ask this question who dare not blame or blaspheme Christ, and who ascribe to Him most excellent, but merely human, wisdom. These say that the disciples made out the Master to be more than He really was when they said that He was the Son of God and the Word of God, by whom all things were made." And farther on he adds: "It seems as though they were prepared to believe whatever He might have written of Himself, but not what others at their discretion published about Him." Therefore it seems that Christ should have Himself committed His doctrine to writing. On the contrary, No books written by Him were to be found in the canon of Scripture. I answer that, It was fitting that Christ should not commit His doctrine to writing. First, on account of His dignity: for the more excellent the teacher, the more excellent should be his manner of teaching. Consequently it was fitting that Christ, as the most excellent of teachers, should adopt that manner of teaching whereby His doctrine is imprinted on the hearts of His hearers; wherefore it is written (Matthew 7:29) that "He was teaching them as one having power." And so it was that among the Gentiles, Pythagoras and Socrates, who were teachers of great excellence, were unwilling to write anything. For writings are ordained, as to an end, unto the imprinting of doctrine in the hearts of the hearers. Secondly, on account of the excellence of Christ's doctrine, which cannot be expressed in writing; according to John 21:25: "There are also many other things which Jesus did: which, if they were written everyone, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written." Which Augustine explains by saying: "We are not to believe that in respect of space the world could not contain them . . . but that by the capacity of the readers they could not be comprehended." And if Christ had committed His doctrine to writing, men would have had no deeper thought of His doctrine than that which appears on the surface of the writing. Thirdly, that His doctrine might reach all in an orderly manner: Himself teaching His disciples immediately, and they subsequently teaching others, by preaching and writing: whereas if He Himself had written, His doctrine would have reached all immediately. Hence it is said of Wisdom (Proverbs 9:3) that "she hath sent her maids to invite to the tower." It is to be observed, however, that, as Augustine says (De Consensu Evang. i), some of the Gentiles thought that Christ wrote certain books treating of the magic art whereby He worked miracles: which art is condemned by the Christian learning. "And yet they who claim to have read those books of Christ do none of those things which they marvel at His doing according to those same books. Moreover, it is by a Divine judgment that they err so far as to assert that these books were, as it were, entitled as letters to Peter and Paul, for that they found them in several places depicted in company with Christ. No wonder that the inventors were deceived by the painters: for as long as Christ lived in the mortal flesh with His disciples, Paul was no disciple of His." Reply to Objection 1. As Augustine says in the same book: "Christ is the head of all His disciples who are members of His body. Consequently, when they put into writing what He showed forth and said to them, by no means must we say that He wrote nothing: since His members put forth that which they knew under His dictation. For at His command they, being His hands, as it were, wrote whatever He wished us to read concerning His deeds and words." Reply to Objection 2. Since the old Law was given under the form of sensible signs, therefore also was it fittingly written with sensible signs. But Christ's doctrine, which is "the law of the spirit of life" (Romans 8:2), had to be "written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in the fleshly tables of the heart," as the Apostle says (2 Corinthians 3:3). Reply to Objection 3. Those who were unwilling to believe what the apostles wrote of Christ would have refused to believe the writings of Christ, whom they deemed to work miracles by the magic art.

How to Start a Men’s Group | Jim Stanley

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.

<a href="www.TheBeatiDudes.com%20">www.TheBeatiDudes.com</a> The BeatiDudes welcome back John Cannon, Founder of SENT Ventures, for this bonus episode.After early career success, John joined the Carmelite order and lived a contemplative, cloistered life of prayer and study. While researching church renewal movements, John realized that one of the most powerful tools for renewal is entrepreneurship. This led John to discern out of the monastery and into the business world to build a community that supports Catholic entrepreneurs and builders.In this episode, the Dudes reflect on the components of authentic Christian fraternity before diving into a discussion on the social teachings of the Church for business. Many of the SENT Ventures members are leading by or seeking to learn how to infuse dignity, solidarity, justice, and just wages into their organizations. During the "Blessed are the Joke Makers" game, John joins the BeatiDudes in answering the question "_________ led me to _________" as a fire and brimstone preacher. You won't want to miss his surprising answer. The show is closed out with another "reverse Simpsons" moment during which the Dudes play a classic improv game with a new name, "Doctor of The Church Know-It-All." <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow (our guest):</h2><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a><h2>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By</h2><a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a> <h2>Great resources from this show</h2><a href="https://www.amazon.com/True-Leadership-Habiger-Institute-Catholic/dp/1944418717">True Leadership </a>book <a href="https://cas.stthomas.edu/_media-library/_documents/catholic-studies/vocation-of-the-business-leader.pdf">The Vocation of the Business Leader</a>

A Dram with Nick Pierlot

ILT Ep18 Doug Reinks-Regnum Christi

Raised in a strict King James-only, Independent Fundamental Baptist household and trained in Christian apologetics, this Southern Baptist pastor was taught that Catholicism was not just wrong—it was dangerous. But everything began to shift when he took his own advice: go to the source.What started as an effort to refute Catholic doctrine turned into a life-changing encounter with the truth of the Eucharist, the Sacraments, the early Church, and the beauty of the Mass.“I didn’t like it. I didn’t want it to be true. But I couldn’t deny it anymore.”From “Baptism now saves you” to the testimony of the Saints, this is the gripping story of a man who lost everything—his ministry, his comfort zone, his certainty—and found the fullness of truth.🙏 Watch as he shares how Scripture, study, and the surprising power of the Mass changed his life forever.#Catholic #Protestant #testimony #CatholicConvert #FormerBaptistPastor #WhyImCatholic #ChristianApologetics #BaptismRegenerates #KJVOnly #FromFundamentalistToCatholic #TheMassChangedMe #CatholicTruth ▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

From Baptist Pastor to Catholic: The Conversion He Never Wanted

We often ignore the wisdom found in Sacred Scripture. One timeless truth that is commonly neglected comes from the book of Proverbs, which states that without a vision, the people of a community will suffer and be lost.&nbsp;
We are all leaders in our own right. We first must learn to lead ourselves. We also lead in our families, our professional lives, and in our social circles. How can you begin to create a vision for all these different areas so that you and those entrusted to your care can truly flourish? Nathan and Fr Meyer discuss just that!&nbsp;
Part 2 of this two part series will be released Monday December 7th!

The Gambler

Seeking Excellence Podcast Episode 165&nbsp;
 
We all find ourselves in a dark place from time to time. Life is filled with adversity and hardship, so it is inevitable that we will find ourselves in a slump. We can fall off the grind mentally, relationally, physically, spiritually, professionally, etc. A slump in one area of life usually leads to slumps in another.&nbsp;
What can we do to work our way out of these downtimes? Are we just a victim of our circumstances? Do we have the ability to change the trajectory of so many areas of our lives? In today's episode, we talk about some practical ways I have dug myself out of some dark holes in life, using a very recent and real example to draw lessons from.&nbsp;

Jesus reveals His new high expectations of holiness that He calls men to pursue - Sunday, February 15, 2026 - Mt 5:17-37

What if your spiritual life didn&rsquo;t have to fall apart every time life got hectic? In this episode, Tom Hornichek and Dean Patterson tackle the exact struggles Catholic men face trying to pray consistently in a world of deadlines, distractions, and daily chaos. Starting from personal stories of lukewarm faith, burnout, and spiritual drift, they chart a path toward a simple, sustainable prayer life built for real men with real responsibilities.
Discover why routine beats intensity, how apps and tools like Amen and Magnificat can jumpstart your mornings, and why short prayers&mdash;like an Our Father on the drive to work&mdash;can anchor your soul. You&rsquo;ll hear how the rosary became more than just &ldquo;something old Catholic ladies do,&rdquo; why praying without ceasing isn&rsquo;t as mysterious as it sounds, and how praying like a warrior can actually change your life&mdash;and your family.
If you&rsquo;ve ever felt guilty, inconsistent, or overwhelmed about prayer, this is your episode. You&rsquo;ll leave with encouragement, practical tools, and the conviction that even five minutes with God can turn your entire day around.

Jesus commands men to avoid unrighteous anger and warns of the fires of Hell.

Episode 129 - Jesus commands men to avoid unrighteous anger and warns of the fires of Hell - Friday February 23, 2024 - Mt 5:20-26

Kyle Washut is the youngest Catholic president at the youngest Catholic college in America. Kyle, President at Wyoming Catholic College (WCC), joins The BeatiDudes for an adventurous episode full of surprises, including the unique approach that WCC takes to educating and forming its students. WCC is a “great books school” where every student starts their freshmen year by spending several weeks in the wilderness. They all receive the same degree, a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts. In addition to spending a semester on horseback, the entire student body memorizes a repertoire of poems and songs that unite them in the classroom and around the campfire. Kyle, a Wyoming native, has been with WCC since its inception. Growing up in Casper, Wyoming, he worked in nuclear missile silos and coal mines during his teenage years, receiving an AA in Political Science and a second in Spanish from Casper College in 2003. While in Casper, he studied under two of WCC’s eventual founders, Dr. Robert Carlson and Fr. Robert Cook. He began his journey toward Wyoming Catholic by serving as a dishwasher at the annual Wyoming School for Catholic Thought, where the idea for the College was first proposed.He graduated from Thomas Aquinas College in 2007 with a B.A. in Liberal Arts and returned to Wyoming (and Wyoming Catholic) as the inaugural Assistant Dean for Student Life—a position he held until departing in the Fall of 2009 to pursue a graduate degree in Sacred Theology from Austria’s International Theological Institute (ITI). While in Austria, he continued to work for the College, coordinating its inaugural high-school (PEAK) and adult education (WSCT) summer programs, before returning as a full-time professor in early 2012. Washut has taught across the College’s curriculum since his return—theology and philosophy, as well as her distinctive Trivium and Humanities courses. In addition to serving as Visiting Associate Professor of Patristics and Ecclesiastical History at St. Cyril and Methodius Byzantine Catholic Seminary in Pittsburgh, he has worked closely with a number of the College’s Administrative offices, including Admissions, Advancement, and the Outdoor Leadership Program (OLP). In the Fall of 2019, he was named Academic Dean and served in that capacity for four years before being named President in August 2023.On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a shop-a-holic to address the prompt, “I would be the patron saint of _______.” The TBD question of the day – share a story or memory about your grandfather. For this episode of Reverse Simpsons, Kyle and the hosts enjoy various strange drinks and finish the show by promoting the surprise drink they consumed.

Wisdom in God’s Country - Wyoming Catholic College | Kyle Washut | Episode #135

Today’s episode is a special one—it’s a heartfelt look at the power of vulnerability, the journey of healing, and the courage it takes to truly cry out to Jesus. This week has been full of travel and connection as I visited multiple cities, witnessing firsthand how God is moving through men’s ministries and drawing us all toward healing and restoration.

We dive into the story of Blind Bartimaeus in the Gospel of Mark—one man’s encounter with Jesus that reminds us all of the importance of being vulnerable and bold in asking for the help we need. In today’s world, we’re often told to ‘suck it up’ and carry on alone, but Bartimaeus’ story calls us to something deeper. When everyone else tried to silence him, he cried out even louder. In that moment, Bartimaeus showed us the true meaning of courage and faith: daring to believe that Jesus wants to meet us in our brokenness and bring us wholeness.

Support the Mission 💪:

This ministry is growing, reaching more cities, and impacting more men, but we need your help to continue. With Giving Tuesday on December 3rd (and early giving beginning on November 18th), we’re praying to raise over $50,000 to bring on an additional evangelist and expand our reach.

I Want To See!: Why Vulnerability Matters

From being originally christened into the occult as a baby to being fully baptized into the Catholic church as a child, Aaron Fowler shares the surprising journey of his life. Aaron is the Executive Director for Bloom Pregnancy Help Center, previously Birth Choice, in Dallas, Texas. Bloom actively promotes the culture of life and accompanies families as they seek to do the same. As he says, “I am just a dad and a farmer, running a pregnancy center.” Aaron’s pathway to nonprofit leadership was anything but typical. In high school, Aaron’s family moved to the country, where he learned to play guitar. When he returned to the city, he used those skills to play in a few bands in Dallas. Through his parents’ prayers and the conversion of his grandmother during her last year of life, Aaron was inspired to seek to understand his own faith. Aaron had an incredible moment when he picked up a theology manual from Ludwig Ott, and somehow everything clicked. Aaron then joined the Franciscans of the Immaculate in Italy during his discernment of the priesthood. During this time, he was also fighting through his initial contraction of Lime disease. His health conditions ultimately helped to complete his discernment as Aaron left religious life. Aaron and his wife have four boys and are pregnant with their 5th child. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of Crazy Cat Lover to address the prompt, “The next council will be in response to ________.”The TBD Question of the Day: What is a trait you got from your mother?

It’s Raining CATechisms and DOGmas| Aaron Fowler | Episode #111

The BeatiDudes set up a booth at the 10th National Eucharistic Congress (NEC) for one day of open recording with new friends, old buddies, and a handful of repeat guests.Part One of this three-episode series jumps right in with the BeatiDudes’ first guest, a man who started off as a stranger walking by and quickly became an all-time BeatiDude favorite. Meet Kelly, Texas Aggie Class of 1993. This man embodies the Spirit of Aggieland, aka Texas A&amp;M University, better than just about anyone. The second guest is our first repeat BeatiDude in history, Chris McMahon from <a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a>. Chris is on fire for service and shares his love for the great work of many religious sisters before introducing the BeatiDudes to their next guest, Sister Margie from the Sisters of Mary. The Sisters of Mary serve the poor worldwide, currently helping 22,000 children in seven different countries. Sister Margie says, “We give our lives, and they respond with their gratitude.” She is currently visiting from her assignment in Tanzania. Learn more about the Sisters’ work at <a href="https://www.worldvillages.org/spirituality-of-the-sisters-of-mary/">World Villages for Children</a>.J.B. Bionat, a BeatiDudes friend and fellow parishioner from back home, stops by for a total bro-out. He is joined by Nicole Richards, the parish's digital marketing coordinator, who gives the BeatiDudes some great real-time feedback. J.B. and the BeatiDudes talk about the power of praise and worship in the most dynamic parishes and organizations, especially St. Ann in Coppell, Texas. This quick and powerful conversation includes ice sculpture ideas and a shared prayer for J.B. and his fiancé. <a href="https://www.stannparish.org/"> Follow St. Ann Parish online</a>.The last guest for the first hour of NEC fun is Fr.

I Am Not Yet Ascended to My Father | Bible Study w/ Aquinas

Having just finished his studies at Xavier in New Orleans, Pradeep Thoppil started working at Tulane Medical Center shortly before Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. As a first-year pharmacist, he was eager to help the team and volunteered to join the pre-hurricane team. He had no idea that when he entered the hospital that day, he would not leave until six and a half days later.Pradeep, a self-proclaimed weather nerd, shares when he realized that Katrina had made a turn and headed straight for New Orleans. What happened next is a wild tale of triumphs, trials, and the heroic efforts of the team inside the medical center. Pradeep’s recounting of the race against time includes flooding, the quick decision to move medications to higher floors, praying for people outside the hospital windows after the doors had to be locked for safety, the loss of power, water, and their food supply, creating and protecting a makeshift pharmacy, relocating patients into hallways as the storm’s pressure made the walls breath and windows break, and eventually moving patients up many flights of stairs and out to the parking garage for rooftop evacuation. At one point, Pradeep considered leaving the hospital to meet his parents, which led to an honest conversation with God in which Pradeep realized he was being called to stay for the long haul. Despite the trials that ensued, Pradeep knew he had made the right decision. Sharing this story with The BeatiDudes was not easy for Pradeep, as it brings back many deep and difficult emotions. Please join us in praying for Pradeep and all of those affected by natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where 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 hear Jesus clearly proclaim that He is God and mysteriously avoid the Jews attempt to stone Him to death.   We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to build the Virtue of Studiousness so he can both study and live out the Word of God every day of his life.   We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to grow in the Virtue of Obedience so he is always obedient to the fullness of what Christ’s Holy Catholic Church proclaims.

Episode 53 - Jesus reveals His Divinity and escapes the evil Jewish leadership’s attempt to stone Him to death - Thursday March 30, 2023 - Jn 8:51-59

In 1960, Bill Sladek’s mom was told that she should not carry her baby to term due to her age and previous pregnancy issues. She told her doctor that “God doesn’t make mistakes” and welcomed baby Bill in June of that year. Bill’s wife, Mary, has a similar story about her heroic mom and the battle she endured to continue her pregnancy despite the health struggles she was facing at the time that led to her passing only months after Mary was born. This is a must-watch episode that reinforces the culture of life. It includes incredible stories about the mothers who made every sacrifice possible to bring Bill and Mary into the world, allowing their light to shine on many others. Bill has been a commercial real estate attorney in Dallas for 39 years and is a partner with Condon Tobin Sladek Thornton Nerenberg PLLC. Bill is an alum of the University of Notre Dame (Class of 1982) and received his law degree in 1985 from the University of Texas School of Law.Bill is a proud member of the Jesuit Dallas Class of 1978 and is currently Chair of the Development Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas Foundation. Bill is also the current president of the Board of Directors of the Notre Dame School of Dallas and a member of the Board of Management of the Semones YMCA. Bill and Mary (his wife of 40 years) have chaired several charity events, including the Bishop’s Golf Tournament, the Catholic Charities Bishop’s Gala, the Catholic Pro-Life Community’s Bishop’s Gala, and the Holy Trinity Seminary’s Spes Gregis Gala.Bill and Mary, both Dallas natives, began dating while Mary was a junior at Ursuline and Bill was a senior at Jesuit. They have five children—four boys (Billy, Brendan, Brian, and Baby Brett, their Angel Baby) and one daughter (Maddie, an Ursuline alum). They are parishioners at St. Monica Catholic Church.<h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a> <h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a> BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

God Doesn’t Make Mistakes | Bill Sladek | Episode #144
