Spiritual warfare is real — but it’s often misunderstood. In this episode of A Reason for Hope, Alanis and Matt delve into what spiritual warfare truly entails in everyday Catholic life. From anxiety and distraction to temptation, fear, and isolation, this conversation sheds light on how the enemy works subtly — and how Christ has already given us everything we need to overcome. Together, we break down:<ul><li>The three types of spiritual warfare (oppression, obsession, possession)</li><li>Why Hollywood gets demons and exorcism wrong</li><li>How spiritual attacks often increase when you’re walking in God’s will</li><li>The connection between mental health, anxiety, and spiritual warfare</li><li>Why the devil thrives on distraction, isolation, and fear</li><li>The power of Scripture, fasting, order, silence, and the sacraments</li><li>Why community is one of the strongest weapons against the enemy</li><li>How hope, grace, and childlike dependence on God lead to victory</li></ul> This is not a fear-based conversation. It’s a Catholic, Christ-centered discussion rooted in Scripture, Church teaching, and lived experience — meant to bring clarity, peace, and hope. If you’ve ever wondered: <ul><li>Am I under spiritual attack?</li><li>Why do anxiety and temptation feel so intense?</li><li>How do I fight spiritual battles as a Catholic?</li></ul>— this episode is for you. 📿 “The battle belongs to the Lord.” Hope doesn’t disappoint. -Support our Sponsors-<a href="https://bit.ly/4pd2t9B" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Magnifier</a>&nbsp;-&nbsp;An exciting new magazine to awaken wonder in children ages 7–12.<a href="https://bit.ly/44nYYUw" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Scapulars.com</a>&nbsp;- Divine protection in life and death with the most durable, comfortable scapulars ever made. -Support Our Mission-<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/donate" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Donate Here</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/events/" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Book an Event</a> -Follow Us On Social Media-Facebook:&nbsp;<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast</a>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast</a>YouTube:&nbsp;<a href="https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast</a>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">&nbsp;https://www.tiktok.com/@r4hpodcast</a> ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction03:20 What is Spiritual Warfare?11:31 What are the devil's abilities?12:49 Common Tactics of the Devil20:09 The Power of Fasting21:51 Practical Tips from an Exorcist to Combat Spiritual Warfare27:37 What are the Devils Motives? 30:08 Why Fear is Sinful31:14 Importance of Community 36:08 Hope in the Darkness

How to Recognize Spiritual Warfare (And How to Combat It)

Most men today feel torn in a dozen directions. Family, work, faith, pressure, expectations, comparison, and the relentless noise of a culture that confuses success with self-promotion.
In this conversation, Jeff Schiefelbein dismantles those false narratives.
He reveals a radically Catholic vision of leadership and manhood built not on ego, luck, or hustle, but on integrity, stewardship, and the courage to live the life God is actually calling you to live.

Overcome Fear and Persevere w/ Jeff Schiefelbein

Loneliness is one of the most widespread and least talked about struggles facing men today. John and Victor name what so many feel but rarely say out loud, the quiet isolation that exists even in homes, marriages, parishes, and pews filled with people.

If you have ever felt unseen, disconnected, or like you were carrying life on your own, this conversation is both a challenge and an invitation.

The Silent Epidemic

Sooner or later, every believer runs into a collision between what we hoped God would do and what He is actually doing. In this episode, John continues his reflection on grief and adversity by diving into one of the hardest realities of faith: wrestling with God when trust clashes with fear and our need for control.

If you are in a season that feels confusing, unfair, or out of your control, this episode is an invitation to stay in relationship, pray honestly, release control, and let the struggle refine you. Wrestling with God is not the end of faith. It may be the beginning of deeper trust.

Wrestling with God: Where Trust Collides with Control

This Ash Wednesday, Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen go straight to the heart of Lent’s first command: repent and believe.

We're focusing on two concrete actions that we avoid until we're desperate: a real examination of conscience and a clean, simple confession. Not scrupulosity. Not vague generalities. An honest inventory of blind spots, weak spots, compromises, and missed opportunities for virtue.

The Lent Resolution We All Need | Fr. Ken Geraci & John Heinen

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.

He “offered it up” before he was Catholic!

Men today are often lost and quietly confused. Some know they should strive for more, yet feel strangely unmoved to pursue it. Others are driven but stuck, spinning their wheels, repeating the same habits and even the same sins, wondering why nothing ever changes. Still others feel unambitious, listless, and disengaged, moving from obligation to obligation without a clear sense of direction. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt name a reality they see everywhere: men who are not evil or careless, but internally stalled, unsure why they never seem to get ahead. 
Drawing on the work of Dallas Willard and their own experience walking with men, John and Devin unpack a simple but necessary framework for real change: Vision, Intention, and Means. They explore why some men burn with misdirected ambition while others drift without desire, how both stem from the same interior problem, and why a man’s belief in heaven, whether real or merely theoretical, shapes how he lives today. 🟢 Join over a 1000 men inside of Catholic Gentleman+ and get 33 sessions of exclusive formation, daily saint quotes, dozens of books, and a lot more: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com 👉 Get Devin Schadt’s book The Rule: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule/ COUPON CODE for 20% Off: Gentleman20 Video Producer - Pietro Damasceno

No. 1 Reason Men Struggle to Get Ahead

Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P. joins Matt Fradd for an in-depth conversation about Eucharistic miracles, the real presence of Christ, and the spiritual life. Fr. Pine shares his research on miraculous hosts that have turned to human heart tissue, how to detect pride and narcissism in ourselves, and offers practical wisdom on prayer, the dangers of social media, and why showing up in God's presence, even with our mess, is what Jesus desires most.

Mind blowing Eucharistic Miracles (Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.) Ep. 566

In this episode, Deacon talks with Todd Dailey, founder of Eternize, about his journey from spiritual autopilot back to a deeper faith and how it led him to create the world's first haptic cross—a wearable device that gently vibrates to remind you of God's presence throughout the day. They explore the intersection of faith and technology, contrasting dystopian AI wearables with tools that foster real prayer habits rooted in Catholic traditions like the Angelus. Todd shares powerful testimonials, insights on staying spiritually grounded amid rapid tech advances, and his vision for using innovation to keep eternity in focus.Visit myeternize.com (use code "Living the Call" for a listener discount) to learn more about the Eternize Cross.

How Technology Can Point Us To Reality | Todd Dailey

Men treat Lent as optional. However, if this were the case, Christ would NOT have begun His public ministry with the command to repent. Yet most Catholic men approach Lent as if it were extra credit — giving something up, struggling through forty days, and returning to the same patterns unchanged. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt discuss the real reason Lent exists. Penance is not a spiritual accessory, and conversion is not reserved for dramatic moments of crisis. Lent is ordered toward metanoia, a real turning away from sin and a deliberate turning toward Christ. 
Together, they clarify what penance actually means in Scripture and tradition, why many men resist it, and why discipline without direction produces little lasting fruit. Most importantly, they lay out a concrete three-step plan to help men structure Lent intentionally, not as a seasonal effort, but as a path toward becoming like Christ.

<h2>100 years ago, if you were talking about teenagers, no one would know what you were talking about. What are the ramifications of creating this new category in society and in the Church?</h2>
When teenagers were revoked from the adults category, there were isolated into their own classification. Not grouped with adults meant they were able in many ways to continue the way of life they knew for their whole existence but with more bodily maturity too.
Here are a few points of discussion:
<ul>
 	<li>2 age categories for all of time: Adults and Children</li>
 	<li>Culture of the 1960's and 1970's</li>
 	<li>Youth culture over adult culture</li>
 	<li>God and the faith are "ever ancient and ever new" not forever young</li>
 	<li>What are the effects of this in youth ministry?</li>
 	<li>Maturity is restrained and unfree, bound to God and the crosses He sends and the people He binds us to. True freedom is not youthful unattachment, but the loss of the types of freedoms the world pursues</li>

About the Topic:
“And when you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure  their faces that their fasting may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father whose in secret will reward you.” Matthew 6:16-18
Jesus says “when you fast” not “if you fast”. He expected us to fast. But we should not fast out of dieting or pride, but out of love of God. 
Fasting improves us spiritually in several ways (from <a href="https://jimmyakin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jimmy Akin</a>):

<ol class="ol1">
 	<li class="li1">We express our recognition that spiritual things are more important than physical things.</li>
 	<li class="li1">We learn to deny ourselves pleasures, even in spite of pain. (Increase in fortitude)</li>
 	<li class="li1">We declare that we recognize the need to reform and to get closer to God.</li>
 	<li class="li1">We willingly embrace the hunger fasting produces as a sign of being willing to shoulder the burdens of others (Col. 1:24 - “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is Lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the Church…”). What is lacking: Christ’s sufferings were, of course, sufficient for our redemption, but all of us may add ours to his, in order that the fruits of his redemption be applied to the souls of men. </li>
 	<li class="li1">We express humility before God by adopting a humble posture, recognizing our dependence on him and affirming our submissiveness to his will.</li>
</ol> 
4 classes of penitents who committed major sins (idolatry, murder, abortion, adultery) in the ancient formal penitential discipline:

<ol class="ol1">
 	<li class="li1">Weepers - Not allowed in the church but stayed outside and asked those going in to pray for them.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Hearers - Stood inside the church doors and heard the liturgy of the word but were dismissed before the liturgy of the Eucharist.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Kneelers - knelt or lay down in church and participated with the Church in specific prayers for them before being blessed by the bishop and dismissed prior to the Eucharist. </li>
 	<li class="li1">Standers - sat in the congregation and stayed for the liturgy of the Eucharist but did not receive Communion.</li>
</ol> 
5 Tips when Fasting:

<ol class="ol1">
 	<li class="li1">Have a specific intention for your suffering. Visualize the person you are praying for or the grace you are asking God to give you.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Set a schedule. Scheduling how your day will look helps avoid moments of inactivity. Helps to go to sleep on time and get up early.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Increase the amount of water you drink per day.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Take multi-vitamins. When you fast you will become deficient in some vitamins your body is used to having.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Don’t complain. No one should know you are fasting.</li>
</ol> 
Canon Law on Feast Days: 
Can. 1246 §1. Sunday, on which by apostolic tradition the paschal mystery is celebrated, must be observed in the universal Church as the primordial holy day of obligation. The following days must also be observed: the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Epiphany, the Ascension, the Body and Blood of Christ, Holy Mary the Mother of God, her Immaculate Conception, her Assumption, Saint Joseph, Saint Peter and Saint Paul the Apostles, and All Saints.
Canon Law on Days of Penance: 
Can. 1251 Abstinence from meat, or from some other food as determined by the Episcopal Conference, is to be observed on all Fridays, unless a solemnity should fall on a Friday. Abstinence and fasting are to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
Can. 1252 The law of abstinence binds those who have completed their fourteenth year. The law of fasting binds those who have attained their majority, until the beginning of their sixtieth year. Pastors of souls and parents are to ensure that even those who by reason of their age are not bound by the law of fasting and abstinence, are taught the true meaning of penance.
Can. 1253 The conference of bishops can determine more precisely the observance of fast and abstinence as well as substitute other forms of penance, especially works of charity and exercises of piety, in whole or in part, for abstinence and fast.

<blockquote>Hey men,

Let me ask you: in the past 90 days, how often did you eat a little too much, drink a little too much, or spend too much time in the office?

How many times did you ignore your wife, children, or friends just to thumb through social media, watch Netflix, YouTube, or a game?

So many men today are distracted. They’re dependent on the comforts of this world, making them incapable of even knowing they aren’t free to say no to those things. Guys, we were made for more than this.

If you desire freedom from those attachments — Freedom to be a better husband, a better father, and a better man for others — I invite you to check out <a href="http://exodus90.com/?utm_source=catholicmanshow&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=exodus90-2022&amp;utm_content=catholicmanshow-email-1">Exodus 90</a></blockquote>
</div>
<div>

Exodus 90 is a ninety-day program that gets us back to the fundamentals of the faith: prayer, self-denial, and fraternity. It starts on January 17th and ends on Easter Sunday.More than 50,000 men from around the world — Catholics, Christians, even folks that don’t align with any Christian faith —  have done this. Of these men, 99% report experiencing greater freedom.

<h2>About our drink:</h2>
Bernheim Kentucky Straight Whiskey

At its launch, Bernheim Original Straight Wheat Whiskey was the first truly new variety of American straight wheat whiskey introduced since Prohibition. Heaven Hill Master Distillers saw an opportunity to give today's whiskey connoisseurs a unique taste experience. Bernheim was the only straight whiskey to use winter wheat as the primary grain in its mashbill, giving it a soft, sweet flavor and medium finish.

Today, on the front of the bottle, Bernheim proudly displays its finest attributes: Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey, small batch, and a 7 year age statement. With an age statement of 7 years, Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey truly is well worth the wheat. It is the only straight wheat whiskey distributed nationally. As a straight whiskey, it meets the same criteria as Bourbon or rye—aged a minimum of two years in new, charred oak barrels, distilled at less than 160 proof, and contains no coloring, flavoring or blending agents. As a small batch product, it is made with a dump of 100 barrels or less.

<h2>About our drink: Vat 69</h2>
David Bates brought this from across the pond, as you can not get it here in the States. Vat 69 was the go-to scotch for Lewis, so it was very fitting for us to be sipping on the drink while talking about the Christian author.
The iconic Vat 69 bottle with its bulbous neck was introduced to the market and was not changed for about one hundred years. In 1882, William Sanderson prepared one hundred casks of blended whisky and hired a panel of experts to taste them. The batch from the cask (or “vat”) with number 69 was judged to be the best, and this provided the whisky&#8217;s <a title="Brand" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand">brand name</a>. The whisky was at first bottled in <a title="Port wine" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_wine">port</a> bottles. In 1884, Sanderson bought the <a title="Glen Garioch distillery" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Garioch_distillery">Glen Garioch distillery</a> which was situated in the middle of a <a title="Barley" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barley">barley</a> field. The distillery was meant to ensure the delivery of grain whisky.

<h2>About our topic: </h2>
C.S. Lewis was a British writer and theologian. He is best known for his works of fiction, especially The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, such as Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain.
The Screwtape Letters is a Christian apologetic novel written in a satirical format where the plot and characters are used to address Christian theological issues, primarily those to do with temptation and resistance to it.

It is a clarion call that hope must not be merely theoretical, but must “lead us to a deeper relationship with God, an encounter with the One who loves us and calls us to friendship with Himself.”
<h2>About our topic:</h2>
We try to lay out what hope is but also shows how we can exercise this theological virtue, through being daring, changing our ways, serving the Lord, struggling, suffering, and praying. We examine how hope directs us to our ultimate goal of life with God and gives us the strength and perseverance to attain it.

<h2>About our drink:</h2>
<a href="https://michters.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Michter&#8217;s Bourbon</a>
Notes of oak, white pepper, honey, peaches and raisins lingered for a while in my mouth with the predominant flavor being the white pepper that brings a subtle heat and spice to the finish. This bourbon tastes like many young bourbons I&#8217;ve had from start-up distilleries with its light nose and sweet palate profile.
<h2>About the gear:</h2>
N/A &#8211; we didn&#8217;t have a gear this week since we had so much we needed to cover.
<h2>About our topic:</h2>
The topic of confession.
How do we help the priest, help us, during confession? Should you pray while in the state of mortal sin? How do you make a good confession after you have stopped committing mortal sin on a regular basis? Can you make a confession on skype?

<h4>About the beer &#8211; Fr. Dominic Belgian Quad 9% ABV</h4>
In 1875 Father Dominic, a Belgian Monk, would travel to Indian Territory with the Saint Benedictine Monks from France. He would become the first brewmeister in the territory. This Abbey Quad in strict obedience, gives reverence to Father Dominic. His fermented drinks were enjoyed by the local Native Americans and many of the early boomers. This is a dark Belgian style Quad that is beautifully complex with hints of molasses, prairie fruits, and Belgian Candi. It is a heavenly smooth and delightful elixir that is dangerously drinkable.
St. Thomas Aquinas on whether peace is the same as concord:
<blockquote>Peace includes concord and adds something thereto. Hence wherever peace is, there is concord, but there is not peace, wherever there is concord, if we give peace its proper meaning.</blockquote>
St. Thomas in <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/summa/3029.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Question 29</a> speaks on the topic of peace:
<ol>
<li>Is peace the same as concord?</li>
<li>Do all things desire peace?</li>
<li>Is peace an effect of charity?</li>
<li>Is peace a virtue?</li>
</ol>

The dram this week is Courvoisier VSOP ***CORRECTION*** in the episode Adam says VSOP stands for ‘Very Special Open Pale’ which is incorrect. It actually stands for ‘Very Superior Old Pale’.

Made in France- A skillfully crafted cognac that is a blend of several crus with a perfect balance between Fins Bois, Grande, and Petite Champagnes, at the peak of their aromatic potential. The result is an exquisitely balanced cognac with notes of peach and toasted almond

The gear is having a letterhead. Want to make your own letterhead? Here’s a list of some <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/jhnmdws/celebrity-letterheads/?lp=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">good examples</a>.

<h1>Cigar 101 with Tomas Baldonado from <a href="https://www.ultimocigars.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ultimo Cigars</a></h1>
Every once in a while, we break away from our normal routine on The Catholic Man Show to have a conversation with someone we think is a craftsman, expert in a field, and/or has an interesting story. Our guest, Tomas Baldonado from Ultimo, fits all 3 categories.
Many men aren&#8217;t sure where to begin when picking up their first stick. In this episode, we sit down with Oklahoma&#8217;s first and only licensed manufacturer of premium handcrafted cigars.
In the January edition of <a href="https://www.cigaraficionado.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cigar Aficionado Magazine</a>, Ultimo Cigars was mentioned in an article entitled, &#8220;<a href="https://www.cigaraficionado.com/article/50-factories-in-the-u-s-that-still-make-cigars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">50 Factories in the U.S. that still make Cigars</a>&#8220;.
Things you will learn:
<ul>
<li>Anatomy of a cigar</li>
<li>How to find a cigar that fits your palate</li>
<li>How to cut a cigar</li>
<li>How a cigar is made</li>
<li>Types of cigars</li>
<li>How to keep cigars fresh</li>
<li>How Tomas paired a cigar with a beer</li>
<li>and much more</li>
</ul> 
<h3>About Ultimo Cigars:</h3>

Talking Discipline with 6-time World and Olympic Champion, John Smith – Episode 147

<h1>We need your help</h1>
Our annual Catholic radio fundraiser is coming up and we are hoping to put together a video montage of people who have found The Catholic Man Show to be helpful in their lives, the lives of friends, and/or the lives of family members and play the video at our fundraiser to show how Catholic media, particularly Catholic radio, can impact people. This is where the request comes into play. We would like you to send us a 15-20 second video and tell us how TCMS has impacted your life.
Here&#8217;s what you need to do:
<ol>
<li>Turn your smartphone horizontal, then hit video record.</li>
<li>Introduce yourself and where you are from.</li>
<li>And tell us in a couple sentences how TCMS has made an impact in your life.</li>
<li>Save the video and send it to <a href="mailto:adam@stmichaelradio.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">adam@stmichaelradio.com</a> before Friday, November 22nd, 2019.</li>
</ol> 
That&#8217;s it!
I know these type of requests can be annoying or inconvenient, but it truly helps us continue growing and gaining the support we need to make high-quality Catholic media.
We appreciate your willingness to help us.
We are on the Lord&#8217;s team. The winning side. So raise your glass. 
Cheers to Jesus,
Adam and David

<h2>About our drink:</h2>
Proper Twelve is a triple distilled Irish whiskey that is an ultra-smooth blend of fine grain and single malt with hints of vanilla, honey, and toasted wood.
The founder, Conor McGregor, and his team searched for a place and people that shared the same passion for Ireland and its whiskey. He found this at the oldest whiskey distillery on the Isle of Ireland and with his master distiller created a unique and special blend.

Cajetan Mary da Bergamo
<blockquote>"In Paradise, there are many Saints who never gave alms on earth: their poverty justified them. There are many Saints who never mortified their bodies by fasting, or wearing hair shirts: their bodily infirmities excused them. There are many Saints too who were not virgins: their vocation was otherwise. But in Paradise, there is no Saint who was not humble." - Fr. Cajetan Mary da Bergamo</blockquote>
<h2>Twelve  Steps  of  Humility</h2>
Step 1. A first step is taken when one consciously obeys all of God’s commandments, never ignoring them but always holding within himself a fear of God in his heart.
Step 2. The second step is achieved when one thinks not about pleasing himself but instead follow the injunction of the Lord.
Step 3. The third step is reached when out of love of God, one obediently submits to a superior in imitation of the Lord.
Step 4. The fourth step is achieved when one, under obedience, patiently and quietly endures all thing that are inflicted on him.  It should make no difference whether the trials are painful, unjust or even completely beyond his understanding; he should neither tire nor give up.
Step 5. The fifth step is reached when one humbly discloses to his superior all the evil thoughts in his heart, as well as those faults and evil acts he has actually committed.
Step 6. To achieve the sixth step one must without qualms accept all that is crude and harsh; at all times he considers himself a poor and worthless workman.
Step 7. The seventh step is attained when one not only confesses that he is an inferior and common wretch, but believes it to his very core.  He must be willing to humble himself.
Step 8. One reaches the eighth step of humility when he does only that which is demanded by the common rule of his seniors.
Step 9. The ninth step can be achieved when one, practicing silence, only speaks when asked a question.
Step 10. The tenth step is climbed when one restrains himself from undue laughter and frivolity.
Step 11. To reach the eleventh step one must speak gently, without jests, but simply, seriously, tersely, rationally and softly.
Step 12. The final step is attained only when one can at all times show humility not only in his appearance and actions, but also in his heart.
