<p>All of us are inspired by the lives of Saints.  I think it is important that we remember, though, that Saints come in all different stripes.  Some are poor and destitute and others come from lives of affluence.  What makes Saints great is not their background but how they use it for the love of God.  In today’s Saint, St. Catherine Drexel we learn the surprising story of a young woman of wealth who becomes holy for others.</p>

How Do I Become A Better Catholic in 2025?

<p>As fathers of seven daughters between them, John Heinen and Devin Schadt understand the vital importance of authentic fatherhood. Statistics show girls without proper paternal presence are 4x more likely to face teen pregnancy, 2x more likely to battle depression, and a staggering 6x more likely to attempt suicide. Many end up trapped in cycles of toxic relationships. But what if there are three simple yet profound messages every daughter needs to hear from her father? Today, John and Devin share these transformative affirmations they've discovered through years of fatherhood - three powerful truths that help fathers reflect God's love, nurture their daughters' wholeness, and equip them for confident, fulfilling lives. Discover these essential insights every father needs to implement. </p><p><br></p><p>🔥 NEW Catholic Gentleman Apparel - https://store.catholicgentleman.com/collections/apparel-1</p><p><br></p><p>Studio Support - https://catholicgentleman.com/support </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Books for the Journey: </strong></p><p><strong>LEAD - </strong><a href="https://shop.stewardshipmission.com/products/lead-daily-devontions-for-every-man">Click Here</a></p><p><strong>Jesus' Way: The 46-Day Lenten Journey</strong> - <a href="https://store.catholicgentleman.com/products/jesus-way">Click Here</a></p><p><br></p><p>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></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Check out the Fathers of St. Joseph</strong> - https://fathersofstjoseph.org/</p><p><br></p><p>🔴 <strong>CATHOLIC GENTLEMAN PLUS (ENTERTAINMENT SESSION JUST LANDED)</strong></p><p>Enjoy 22 unique sessions for men, access exclusive weekly content, ebooks, guest series, and our live Q and A at Catholic Gentleman Plus: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com</p><p>Help <strong>Support the Catholic Gentleman</strong> by either signing up for CG+ https://catholicgentlemanplus.com or https://catholicgentleman.com/support</p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

3 Things Daughters Are Longing to Hear From Their Father

Why do we keep settling for less than what Christ has promised us? This week John and Victor chat about our habit of living in monotony. We are made for great fulfillment and lasting joy, but daily life and toil may drag us down to mediocrity if we are not vigilant. 

In this episode, John and Victor talk about:

- The repercussions of living without hope
- Modern day idols and fleeting moments of happiness
- Raising your head up in prayer!

<h3><a href="http://exodus90.com/tcms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What’s your holy hour look like? </a></h3>
<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.

<b>But, more specifically, it meant they put in the time.</b>

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.

<b>My question to you: are you putting in the time?</b>

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.

<h2>Adam and David talk about Kierkegaard's understanding of being unrecognizable and the ways to get out of being lukewarm.</h2>
Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange gives four ways to get out of the treacherous state of being lukewarm:

4 Hidden Ways to Win Her Heart Every Time

<p> </p> <p class="has-drop-cap">Some recent polling suggests that the number of those who identify with no religion has hit a ceiling, and it may even be declining. At the same time, a number of high-profile cultural influencers—even some formerly hostile to the faith—have either converted to Christianity or announced that they now identify as “cultural Christians.” Moreover, religion and politics, once considered verboten to mix, now seem to find themselves deeply intertwined.</p> <p>  </p> <p>How do we assess these cultural and political developments from an evangelical perspective? Is it really the case that society is becoming more receptive to Christianity? Are all these developments positive for the Church, or should we take a more cautious approach to evaluating what all this means for the future? </p> <p>  </p> <p>A listener asks what he can share with non-Catholics to perhaps change their minds.</p> <p>  </p> <p>00:00 | Intro 01:32 | Bishop Barron’s update on the diocesan pastoral center 02:24 | Tracing the decline of Christianity in the West 06:07 | Assessing the decline of “nones” today 09:59 | Men, women, and trends of religious disaffiliation 13:45 | Public conversions and the indispensability of Christianity in culture 18:46 | Christianity, moral principles, and the legal system 23:09 | Is there broader cultural significance for the National Eucharistic Revival? 24:26 | Hopeful signs for Christianity in conversation 27:54 | Is interest in a broad Christianity simply good? 28:59 | What we can learn from the African and Eastern Churches 30:42 | Listener question 33:00 | Join the Word on Fire Institute</p> <p>  </p> Links: <p>  </p> <ul class="wp-block-list">  <li>Pew Research Data: <a href= "https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/01/24/has-the-rise-of-religious-nones-come-to-an-end-in-the-us/"> https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/01/24/has-the-rise-of-religious-nones-come-to-an-end-in-the-us/</a></li>  <li> </li>  <li>Data on Women Leaving the Church: <a href= "https://www.americansurveycenter.org/newsletter/young-women-are-leaving-church-in-unprecedented-numbers/"> https://www.americansurveycenter.org/newsletter/young-women-are-leaving-church-in-unprecedented-numbers/</a></li>  <li> </li>  <li><em>Washington Examiner</em>: “<a href= "https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/2929622/faith-and-flag-trump-allies-push-deeply-conservative-second-term/#google_vignette">Faith and flag: Trump allies push for deeply conservative second term</a>”</li>  <li> </li>  <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p>  <p>  </p> <p><em>NOTE:</em><em> Do you like this podcast? </em><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener"><em>Become a </em><em>Word on Fire IGNITE</em><em> member</em></a><em>!

Essential Prayers for Catholic Men

Leading By Listening: The Obedience of The OG Point Man

Today is a special edition of Beacon of Truth as we bring you Deacon Harold LIVE from the Deeper into the Psalms from the Ignite Bible Tour. He travels most of the year speaking and this conference he's challenging us to build a LEGACY.

LEGACY

Its Word of God Wednesday so as you grab your Bibles, Deacon Harold looks as Jesus Heals the Paralytic in Matthew 9:1-8. Also, Today's Soulful Psalms is from Psalm 95.

Jesus Heals the Paralytic

<p>What does God’s glory look like in your everyday life? </p>
<p>This week on <em>They That Hope</em>, Father Dave and Deacon Bob reflect on the Gospel account of the Transfiguration, exploring how moments of divine glory give us strength and perspective during life’s hardest trials. They share how Christ reveals his presence both in the extraordinary—like mountaintop encounters—and the ordinary rhythms of daily life. </p>
<p>As Deacon Bob prepares to lead a mission team to Belize and Father Dave readies for a pilgrimage to Rwanda, they reflect on the beauty, chaos, and spiritual depth of saying "yes" to God’s call.  </p>
<p>Plus: Gene Hackman tributes, sports heartbreak, custom cookies, and the surprisingly tricky technique of applying ashes. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Highlighted Sections </p>
<p>(00:00) Belize Missions and 2 A.M. Wake-Ups <br>
Deacon Bob shares the joys and challenges of preparing for a teaching mission in Belize, including an unholy 2 a.m. check-in. Meanwhile, Father Dave offers prayers (and a touch of envy) from Steubenville. </p>
<p>(08:05) Pilgrimage to Rwanda and the Power of Sacred Places <br>
Father Dave looks ahead to his trip to Kibeho, the <a href='https://www.kibeho-cana.org/a-brief-history-of-the-apparitions-of-our-lady-of-kibeho/'>site of a Marian apparition</a> that foretold the Rwandan genocide. He reflects on how sacred spaces open hearts to healing and hope. </p>
<p>(09:20) Sports Heartbreak Hall of Fame <br>
The hosts nominate America’s most painful teams to root for—from the <a href='https://www.nfl.com/teams/dallas-cowboys/'>Dallas Cowboys</a> to the <a href='https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/_/name/cle/cleveland-browns'>Cleveland Browns</a> and beyond. It’s part therapy session, part sports history, and 100% relatable. </p>
<p>(15:00) Lent, Ashes, and Sugar Cookies <br>
From ash-thumb technique to cookies with their faces on them, Father Dave and Deacon Bob celebrate Lent with reverence and humor. Plus, a shoutout to a generous listener and a forgotten name. </p>
<p>(19:46) Remembering Gene Hackman <br>
They honor the legendary actor <a href='https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000432/'>Gene Hackman</a> with a tour of his greatest films, including <a href='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091217/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_1_in_0_q_hoosiers'><em>Hoosiers</em>,</a> <a href='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105695/?ref_=nm_knf_t_3'><em>Unforgiven</em>,</a> and <a href='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106918/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_1_in_0_q_the%2520firm'><em>The Firm</em></a>. His legacy sparks a fun exchange about favorite actors and movie memories. </p>
<p>(30:45) Gospel Reflection: The Transfiguration <br>
The hosts reflect on <a href='https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/080616.cfm'>Luke’s account of the Transfiguration</a> and the mystery of seeing God's glory. They share how moments of divine light—like mountaintop encounters—sustain us through darkness and doubt. </p>
