Now the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06636b.htm" target="_blank">good</a>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09580c.htm" target="_blank">man</a>&nbsp;is to be in accordance with reason, as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05013a.htm" target="_blank">Dionysius</a>&nbsp;states (Div. Nom. iv). Hence&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09580c.htm" target="_blank">human</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15472a.htm" target="_blank">virtue</a>&nbsp;is that which inclines&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09580c.htm" target="_blank">man</a>&nbsp;to something in accordance with reason. Now&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14481a.htm" target="_blank">temperance</a>&nbsp;evidently inclines&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09580c.htm" target="_blank">man</a>&nbsp;to this, since its very name implies moderation or temperateness, which reason&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03459a.htm" target="_blank">causes</a>. Therefore&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14481a.htm" target="_blank">temperance</a>&nbsp;is a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15472a.htm" target="_blank">virtue</a>.About Our Guest:A native of Louisiana, Fr. Aquinas Guilbeau, O.P., entered the Dominican Province of St. Joseph in 2005. After several years of pastoral work in New York City, Fr. Guilbeau began doctoral studies in moral theology at the University of Fribourg, where he completed a dissertation on St. Thomas Aquinas’s doctrine of the common good. In addition to his teaching, Fr. Guilbeau serves as senior editor of&nbsp;<a href="http://aleteia.org/" target="_blank">Aleteia.org</a>&nbsp;(English edition).

What Women Don't Understand About Men

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John and Sam meet with Josh Hochschild, co-author of A Mind At Peace, to discuss the fact that modern technology is designed with the human person as the product to be sold, and how the addictive elements are disrupting and deadening our relationship with God, our family and friends, and ourselves. We also discuss the hierarchy of virtues a man needs to work on to regain control of his faculties and grow in holiness.In this episode we discuss;<ul>
<li>How technology is here to stay but does NOT need to control us</li>
<li>How the perennial teachings of the Church can still be used for this combat</li>
<li>How each of us struggle and have certain practices we use to stay disciplined</li>
<li>And more</li>
</ul> Joshua P. Hochschild is Professor of Philosophy and Director of Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Mount St. Mary’s University, where he also served six years as the inaugural Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. In addition to scholarly articles and books in medieval logic, metaphysics, ethics and social thought, his writing has appeared in Commonweal, First Things, Front Porch Republic, and the Wall Street Journal. He is co-author (with Christopher O. Blum) of A Mind at Peace: Reclaiming an Ordered Soul in the Age of Distraction (2017) and for 2020-21 he is President of the American Catholic Philosophical Association. He and his wife and their four children live in Emmitsburg, Maryland.Follow Josh on Twitter <a href="https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fjoshhochschild&amp;data=04%7C01%7Chochschild%40msmary.edu%7C3658856acc4b4ec1205108d95e60c9d2%7C1094034b6e0e4eb3a3bdfa55ae99b718%7C0%7C0%7C637644592086668516%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=gfuN6m70cNukSOCuAVrTR3zdd1MaiIpjLnYMyU80JLU%3D&amp;reserved=0">@JoshHochschild</a>Learn More about Josh at <a href="https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdirectory.msmary.edu%2Fpeople%2Fjoshua-hochschild.html&amp;data=04%7C01%7Chochschild%40msmary.edu%7C3658856acc4b4ec1205108d95e60c9d2%7C1094034b6e0e4eb3a3bdfa55ae99b718%7C0%7C0%7C637644592086678508%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=kqnfBN7VavRBlgLb3uk5jNeglp%2B4xTTRko8V4Fqhlf4%3D&amp;reserved=0">https://directory.msmary.edu/people/joshua-hochschild.html</a>Purchase A Mind at Peace: Reclaiming an Ordered Soul in the Age of Distraction - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Peace-Reclaiming-Ordered-Distraction/dp/1622823818">Click Here</a> Learn more about your ad choices.

About our drink:
Japanese whiskey is one of five significant varieties in the world along with Scotch, Irish, Canadian, and American whiskeys. Sensi Whiskey hails from Yamanahsi Prefecture, the birthplace of Japanese Whiskey. A harmonious blend of malt and grain. It ages to perfection in Mizunara (Japenese Oak) barrels. Mizunara barrels give Sensi its distinctive flavor. It reminds some of sandalwood, a precious ingredient in Oriental incense used for aromatherapy, meditation, and spiritual ceremonies. To others, the taste will suggest a faint hint of coconut. So, we fused together rare whiskey, finest malt whiskeys from the rest of the world, and the highest quality pure spring water from Japan to create this remarkable blend.

Improv Homeschooling with Andrew Pudewa

Hear messages from Devin Schadt, Fr. Josh Whitfield, and Wadi & Jackie Barreto discuss parenting with the heart of God the Father.

Heroic Parenting Summit

Today Sam and John are joined by an incredible Catholic man, professor, and author, Dr. Anthony Esolen. In his new book, "No Apologies: Why Civilization Depends on the Strength of Men", he gets straight to the point from history, societal development, biology, and observation. He goes to the core of masculinity to return to men the joy of their manliness. We live in distorted times and this conversation is just scratching the surface of the truth that all men must understand. 🔴 Books for EverymanThe Hundredfold - https://www.amazon.com/Hundredfold-Songs-Lord-Anthony-Esolen/dp/1621642925/ref=sr_1_1No Apologies - https://www.amazon.com/No-Apologies-Civilization-Depends-Strength-ebook/dp/B09MDL9CTF/ref=sr_1_1 🔴 Dr. Anthony Esolen's Online MagazineWord and Song - https://anthonyesolen.substack.com/aboutEpisode - https://anthonyesolen.substack.com/p/soliloquy-of-the-spanish-cloister#details 🔴 SUPPORT THE CATHOLIC GENTLEMANBecome a supporter of The Catholic Gentleman on Patreon and get incredible gifts as a thank you for your support: https://www.patreon.com/catholicgentleman Learn more about your ad choices.

Why Society Depends on Strong Men (w/ Anthony Esolen)

We discuss what makes these men masculine, holy, and a model example for us today. From battles, to sin, to repentance and transformation, we learn about their lives, their relationship with God, and how they embraced masculinity.In this episode we discuss;<ul>
<li>What makes a man authentic</li>
<li>How Sacred Scripture teaches us about masculinity</li>
<li>How a heart turned to God daily is unquestionably necessary</li>
<li>How each man today can follow their example</li>
<li>And More</li>

The 7 Manliest Men in the Bible

WARNING, this episode contains content, all within the sound teaching and wisdom of the Catholic Church, that might be inappropriate for younger listeners. Today John, Devin, and Sam discuss the struggles of sexual temptations vs. sexual attraction and how to rightly understand and live the difference. We explore the profound reality of sexual attraction, emphasizing how it can lead us to a richer connection with God. Moreover, we equip you with strategies to triumph over the cunning tactics of the Devil, who seeks to exploit and distort this natural aspect of human life for his own purposes. In a world of sexual fragmentation, the truth is far more enjoyable.QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Each week we are going to answer one of your questions during the podcast. This week we have a question from a listener who wants to know how to better live his masculinity in relation to his wife's feminity, and how the baggage we bring into our relationships can have consequences. If you have any questions, please, record yourself on your phone and send us the audio clip to podcast@catholicgentleman.com.

Lust, Sin, and How to Win

When all things are said and done, the goal of leadership ought to be simple.  Thomas Aquinas provides us with a wonderful summary in chapter sixteen of his work, On The King, he gives us a final goal - three things.  By focusing on these three things we can find the direction we need as we apply leadership to our home, our business, and our world.

Lessons from a Life in Servant Leadership w/ Dick Vollet

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, Sam and John discuss a great pathway this Lent for men. Formed by many years guiding men in the desert to better understand themselves and grow in their union with Christ, Fr. Innocent Montgomery, C.F.R. shares his wisdom with us for this Lent and beyond. We share in his joy as a Franciscan Friar, hear great stories, and learn why he felt called to write a book for men that guides us through Lent and the Easter Octave.In this episode we discuss;<ul>
<li>The depravity of modern man</li>
<li>How to experience being an adopted son of God</li>
<li>An incredible Franciscan order</li>
<li>How a deeper interpersonal relationship with Christ is what we all need</li>
<li>And more…</li>
</ul> Born of Fire - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Born-Fire-Father-Innocent-Montgomery/dp/B09V3WCG85#:~:text=Description,'new%20man'%20this%20Lent.">Click Here</a>Fr. Innocent Montgomery, CFR grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska as one of a triplet, and his triplet brother is also a CFR priest. He attended Saint Gregory the Great Seminary for his undergrad in philosophy. He entered the Friars in 2007 and spent many joyful years serving the homeless and drug addicts at Saint Anthony’s Shelter in the Bronx. He made his final vows in 2012 and was ordained to the priesthood in 2016. His master’s thesis work in seminary was in Christological anthropology. He now serves as the Postulant Director for the CFRs, accompanying the young brothers in early formation as they learn how to pray, live in fraternity, and love and serve the poor. One of his greatest joys is to bless people in their identity as sons and daughters of the Father.🔴 The Catholic Gentleman Podcast happens because of our generous donors, including monthly donations of any amount.

A Men's Guide for Lent (w/ Fr. Innocent CFR)

Wisdom isn&rsquo;t about how smart you are&mdash;it&rsquo;s about how surrendered you are. In Chapter Seven: Wisdom, Father Larry unpacks what it truly means to see the world through God&rsquo;s eyes and live according to His will. Real wisdom, he says, isn&rsquo;t political. It isn&rsquo;t macho. And it&rsquo;s definitely not self-centered. It&rsquo;s living like Jesus, who emptied Himself, took the form of a slave, and obeyed the Father&mdash;even to death.&nbsp;<a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Living Life Liturgically | Evan Woolsoncroft | Episode #124

<h2>A Man reaching one young person at a time</h2>
In this week’s episode, Michael Chiasson joins Sean in the pub as they discuss Michael’s outreach to young people. Their conversation takes them from who Michael is, what impacted his journey to his Ministry of 25 years reaching young people through music, retreats, talks, and motivating short videos, to his call to actively respond and to “be authentically you”.

A Dram with Michael Chiasson

We all deal with negative thoughts, but how we handle them makes all the difference.
Join John and Victor in the pew this week as they discuss the power of preaching truth to yourself during moments of doubt. When you face negative self-talk head-on and learn to parry those attacks, it can lead to true spiritual resilience. Life isn’t easy, but we are called to face each challenge with strength and trust in the Lord. Speak truth to yourself and keep moving forward.

From the Seminary to Startups with Nathan Pinto

You check all the boxes—good job, nice house, family, success—but still wake up asking, "Is this all there is?" You're not alone. 

This week in the pew, John is joined by his longtime friend Bart Schuchts, founder of Church on Fire and ministry leader with the John Paul II Healing Center, for an honest conversation about finding your God-given purpose when life feels like you're just surviving instead of thriving. Drawing from Scripture and raw personal experience, John and Bart explore why so many men are stuck in cycles of despair, working jobs that drain their souls while their hearts scream for something more.

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

Witty, intelligent, sharp-dressed, and fun-loving…Vulnerable, faithful, heart-wrenching, and inspirational….Meet John Kunz, a devoted husband and father who is doing his best to form his family in the faith. In 2021, John and his wife received the diagnosis during their 5th pregnancy that their baby boy had Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) - - a rare congenital heart defect that prevents the left side of the heart from developing properly during pregnancy. Jack was born in November of 2021 and passed three weeks later. Listening to John speak about the emotional and physically challenging journey of welcoming Jack and then saying goodbye to him soon after is an experience you won’t want to miss. John’s love for family and trust in God serves as a witness to the love that can only be experienced through Christ. John and his wife were blessed to conceive two more children after Jack’s passing; the first passed in the womb, and the second is a spry toddler, bringing light and life to the family daily. This episode is truly special. Hanging out with John and The BeatiDudes provides a true sense of levity and friendship throughout the first half of the show, followed by a podcast experience that will tug at your heart and move you to action. <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>

From Capitol Hill to St. Peter's: Newt Gingrich's Catholic Conversion In this episode, we welcome former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. We discuss his conversion to Catholicism, his admiration for Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI, and his wonderful documentary on John Paul II’s visit to Poland that sparked the fall of the Soviet Union. We also learn what prompted Speaker Gingrich to believe he was “called” to a life of public service, his time as Speaker of the House from 1995-1999 and what is different about politics today, and his work as a writer and historian.Host: Mario Costabile- Sponsors -Ave Maria Mutual Funds is the largest family of Catholic mutual funds in the U.S. Launched in 2001, their six no-load funds adhere to strong pro-life and pro-family values.Visit their website at: <a href="https://bit.ly/3UaE1t2">avemariafunds.com</a> <a href="https://bit.ly/44nYYUw">Scapulars.com</a> - Divine protection in life and in death with the most durable, comfortable scapulars ever made.- Resources -Take our podcast survey to help us make A Reason for Hope better for YOU! <a href="https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com/">https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com/ </a> Visit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app: <a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

The Miracle on the Mountain

Ted Charles spent over 20 years as a Pentecostal pastor, rooted in a deep evangelical faith. From his early days as a “Bapticostal” believer to leading congregations in the Holiness movement, his life was centered around serving God. But everything changed when he asked one simple question:“If you died tomorrow, where would you go?”This question led him on a soul-searching journey — through Baptist doctrine, Pentecostal revival, debates about the end times, and finally… a seat in a Catholic Mass.👉 What made a committed Pentecostal pastor walk into a Catholic Church?👉 What did he mean when he said: “I looked… that was my first mistake”?Hear his raw, honest testimony and discover what it means to truly seek truth, no matter the cost.🔔 Don’t forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE if this moved you or made you think deeper about your own faith journey.@PrayingConvert on YouTube https://youtube.com/@prayingconvert?si=ccuyVNg4aNj0BNa_ #Pentecostal #Pastor #Mass #Catholic #Baptist #Protestant #Testimony #Latin #Eucharist #Love▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

What we wished we learned in marriage prep | Emily Crankfield | Ep 263

In today's episode, Bishop Barron fields questions from people all over the world, including: <ul> <li>How do we reconcile love as willing the good of the other with more exclusive love, such as the love between a husband and wife?</li> <li>Some Protestant theologians say that John 6 is not talking about transubstantiation because this dialogue took place before the institution of the Eucharist. What do you think?</li> <li>What does the Catholic Church say about predestination and free will?</li> <li>Why does God need to be worshipped and glorified, and need sacrifices? On human terms, this sounds like his love is conditional and he is insecure.</li> <li>Can dogma be changed or overthrown?</li> <li>Was Jesus a socialist?</li> <li>What are the essential qualities/qualifications needed for evangelism? Degrees or degree program recommendations?</li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bishopbarron">Become a patron</a> and get some great perks for helping, like free books, bonus content, and more.

WOF 239: International Q&A w/ Bishop Barron (July 2020)

From UPS to Ministry Leader &mdash; what does it look like when an ordinary man follows an extraordinary call? In this heart-stirring episode of Heroic Hotline, Gil Alderete shares how a lifetime of quiet faith, hard knocks, and divine nudges led him from a UPS career to becoming the President of Catholic Men&rsquo;s Fellowship of California.
Raised a cultural Catholic, Gil&rsquo;s winding journey through Protestantism, back to the sacraments, and into ministry is filled with raw honesty, spiritual awakenings, and small miracles &mdash; including a powerful visit to the Basilica in Mexico that wasn&rsquo;t supposed to happen. Along the way, he opens up about the power of men&rsquo;s ministry, the burden and blessing of leadership, and what it really means to be &ldquo;another Christ&rdquo; in the world.
If you've ever felt unqualified, unprepared, or unsure about your place in God's plan, Gil&rsquo;s story will inspire you to act anyway. Because sometimes, the call comes to regular guys &mdash; and all God needs is your yes.

WOF 244: The Eucharist as Sacred Meal

Do you struggle to find “work/life balance”? Do you wrestle with moral issues on the job? Do you ever feel like your faith takes a backseat to your professional duties? If so, you’re not alone. Our faith cannot be siloed from our jobs and our professional responsibilities though. Our work, hobbies and education can’t be prioritized over our Christianity. If Christ came back today, would He approve of how we are choosing to spend our time? Our Christian faith is our very identity and we must m...

EP 86 Q&A With Fr.Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Martin Watjen returns for a focused Friday deep dive about hearing God through images, living as protectors who trust the true provider, and slowing down to notice what the Lord is already growing along our path. With Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein, Martin shares vivid prayer images, from a narrow mountain trail with fertile soil underfoot to stepping off the moving walkway of routine and into a real relationship with Jesus. 
The conversation moves from parish missions to family life, from cultural hurry to holy attentiveness, and from fear about provision to freedom in the Father who provides. It is a practical and prayerful halftime talk for any listener who wants faith that forms generations to come.
Notable:
*Be a protector, trust the provider
*Take His hand and step off the conveyor belt
*Do not just smell the flowers, learn to notice what God is growing

EP53 Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Global executive and Scouting America leader Sean Magennis joins the tiny table to share how a life of worldwide leadership, deep friendship, and renewed faith has led him right back to serving young people. 
Hosts Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein walk with Sean through his years activating communities around the globe through YPO and Tiger 21, his time living and worshiping in places like Dubai, India, and Singapore, and his powerful experiences of the Church in many languages and cultures. Along the way, Sean reflects on the legacy of his late friend Rick Sapio, the grace of standing at his funeral and graveside, and how faith can remain an anchor even when our certainties and perspectives shift over time.
Now serving as an executive at Scouting America, Sean explains why he believes scouting is one of the most important youth movements in the world, especially because it keeps God at the center of its mission. He shares how the Scout Oath, the EDGE method of learning, and the wood badge formation are shaping kids into articulate, grounded leaders who know how to serve, collaborate, and persevere. 
From multicultural outreach and trades training to Pinewood Derby dreams and alumni reengagement, Sean invites listeners to see scouting as a powerful way to invest in the next generation while staying rooted in Catholic faith, authentic fraternity, and a sense of joyful adventure.

Most couples find this topic challenging to have, and since great marriages do not happen by accident, we want to provide you with tools to make this area of your marriage a place to grow in love and holiness.

How to Discuss Sex with Your Wife

Across the board and throughout time leaders have always complained about being alone.  The expression “it’s lonely at the top” says it well.  But this loneliness is not always a bad thing, in fact, usually it is the result of doing what leaders have to do.  When you lead you’re first and when you’re first you’re necessarily alone.  In this third part of our series on embracing solitude we look at the particular solitude that comes from planning and the surprising ways that we can find Christ there.

DGT Episode 324 - The Solitude of Decision - Embracing Solitude Part 3

Fr. Ken Geraci lived the life of the prodigal son for most of his young adult life. Raised in a nominally Catholic family, who only lived the externals of the faith, Fr. Ken left the Catholic Church for many years. During that time, he earned a business degree and worked as a business professional in Advanced R&amp;D and software testing.  During this journey, God presented him with challenges that forced him to question his personal beliefs and the question, “What is Truth?” Through a series of conversions, years of struggle, study, and questioning, Fr. Ken found his way from agnosticism to non-denominational Christianity, and ultimately back to the Catholic Church. Fr. Ken joined the Fathers of Mercy in 2006 and was ordained in 2012. Fr. Ken has a great understanding of the personal and societal pressures that individuals face and knows what it is like to “hate coming to church.” His mission talks are for people of all levels of faith, from those who are madly in love with Jesus to those who struggle with church and religion.In this episode, Fr. Ken shares the history of his order and discusses the current crisis of manhood. The BeatiDudes joke about Fr. Ken’s understated crucifix before inviting him to judge their comedy woes on “Blessed are the Joke Makers.” As we follow Fr. Ken through the journey of his life, we come to learn of his spiritual gift of healing. This show ends with a deep reflection on the process of healing, along with a healing exercise that all are welcome to join. Fair warning, we told you the BeatiDudes was a blend of humor and holiness, prepare for a big dose of both. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a>joinsolidarity.com <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 The Fathers of Mercy:</h2><a href="https://fathersofmercy.com/">Fathers of Mercy Website</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>

Catholic Priest with The GIFT OF HEALING | Fr. Ken Geraci | Episode #013

Today Deacon Harold & Ace are sharing from the Beacon of Truth Playlist talking about the song "Dear God" by XTC. The purpose is not to over spiritualize songs but ones that have spoken to us and maybe you and what we can learn from them as we apply wisdom and truth to our faith. Also looking at Soulful Psalm 3. Here's the song in case you haven't heard it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=p554R-Jq4…=OyTief_foE75j3Qn

A Dram With John Chick

The conversation explores the power and popularity of Jesus, the relationship between the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament, and the threefold mission of men to teach, heal, and drive out demons. It also delves into the effects of sin on individuals and families, the importance of order and discipline for men, and the need to embrace the challenges and suffering of life. The role of prayer and fasting in spiritual combat is discussed, as well as the practice of Lectio Divina and the importance of taking action and applying spiritual insights in daily life. In this conversation, Dan Schneider discusses the importance of applying Scripture to one's life and provides resources for doing so. He also emphasizes the role of prayer in engaging with Scripture and encourages readers to read the daily Mass readings. Schneider addresses misconceptions about Jesus and highlights the importance of following Jesus's example, particularly in sacrificial love. He concludes by expressing support for Jim Harbaugh as a Catholic man living his faith.Takeaways <ul><li>Apply Scripture to your life by reading the daily Mass readings and reflecting on them.</li><li>Engage with Scripture through prayer and allow God to speak to you through repetition.</li><li>Recognize that Jesus was a regular man who called ordinary people to be his disciples.</li><li>Follow Jesus's example of sacrificial love, particularly in the context of marriage and family.</li><li>Support and appreciate public figures who live out their Catholic faith.</li></ul> Like what you heard?

Ep 51 - LIVE Episode on Anniversaries, Reflections, and Abortion

Most Catholic men talk about trusting God, but very few surrender the one area that reveals the truth: their generosity. In this episode, Jacob Cokely joins me to confront a battlefield most men avoid. His new book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Generosity-Discovering-Secret-Abundant/dp/1969816007/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.CGv1tDhPDbsXOY8FBH07aQ.ufVpfLd4x-CpJSTajz0b0E3ncmjD0D5rzjs8_HHWvLo&amp;qid=1763082712&amp;sr=8-1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Kingdom Generosity: Discovering the Secret to the Abundant Life</a>, calls men out of comfort, out of passive belief, and into the dangerous, countercultural obedience that Jesus demands.Jacob shares how God confronted him twelve years ago and told him to give away everything he had. He only had five hundred dollars to his name. He gave it away. Nothing happened at first. No rewards. No blessings. No instant turnaround. But that step launched a life of radical trust, radical risk, and radical freedom. Jacob shows how generosity is far bigger than finances. It is your time, your gifts, your talents, your attention, and your willingness to act when God prompts you. He reminds us that Jesus Himself is the model of generosity as the one who became poor so we could become rich in grace.At the end of the episode, I issue a direct challenge to every man listening: Take one uncomfortable step of generosity this week. Not talk. Not theory. Action. This is spiritual warfare, and the enemy uses fear, scarcity, and self-preservation to keep men small. Break that chain.For men serious about reclaiming their leadership, rebuilding trust in God, and stepping into authentic Catholic manhood, this conversation is essential.Products and Resources Mentioned• <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Generosity-Discovering-Secret-Abundant/dp/1969816007/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.CGv1tDhPDbsXOY8FBH07aQ.ufVpfLd4x-CpJSTajz0b0E3ncmjD0D5rzjs8_HHWvLo&amp;qid=1763082712&amp;sr=8-1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Kingdom Generosity</a> by Jacob Cokely (Amazon) • <a href="https://kingdomgenerosity.podia.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Free 3-Day Devotional </a>— KingdomGenerosity.Podia.comThree Powerful Quotes From the Transcript<ol><li>“God has something for you.

Maintaining Hope Through the Ups and Downs of Life

John Henry Newman's spiritual autobiography, Apologia Pro Vita Sua, is widely recognized as a classic of religious literature. Chronicling his conversion from Anglicanism to Catholicism, it explores the arguments and discoveries that convinced the Anglican churchman to cross the Tiber.

God is Speaking | Fr. Paul Michael | Episode #220

Without a doubt leadership requires us to engage other people.  Whether it be in networking for new partnerships or interviewing new employees, we live an active life.  For many Christians this is problematic.  We can sometimes feel that being a leader and being active means that we can’t be as contemplative and prayerful as we should be.  In this lesson of leadership coming from St. Thomas Aquinas I lead you in a study of his treatise on the life of Christ to glean insights there.

Word of God Wednesday: Going to the Temple

50% of young men abandon faith in the Church - and God altogether - because they believe faith and science are in conflict. More, they believe there is zero evidence for God, Jesus, and life after death. Today, there's more evidence than ever before for these, and a super-majority of young scientists declare they believe in God. Fr Spitzer's message is powerful and effective with young men between 13-24 years.Heroic Men is proud to partner with the Magis Center for Reason and Faith to invite men to this kickoff event for the essential series on the Catholic Faith and Science.<a href="https://storage2.snappages.site/GNDZHC/assets/files/Heroic-Men-Young-Men-Presentation-Aug-7--10.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Slides</a> | <a href="https://storage2.snappages.site/GNDZHC/assets/files/Notes-Fr-Robert-Spitzer-S.J-PH.D.-Real-E-38.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Notes</a>About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

Men, it’s time to reclaim your weapon. In this episode of The Manly Catholic, James sits down once again with author and lay Dominican Shaun McAfee to discuss his newest children’s book from TAN Books, "<a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/saints-and-sacramentals-saint-dominic-and-the-rosary/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Saints and Sacramentals: Saint Dominic and the Rosary</a>" and why the Rosary remains one of the most powerful spiritual weapons in the Church’s arsenal today.Shaun shares the origins of the Rosary, tracing it back to St. Dominic’s battle against heresy in 1208, when Our Lady herself gave him the “battering ram” against the enemy: the Angelic Psalter. He unpacks how this Marian prayer transformed the Church, crushed falsehood, and became the spiritual sword of saints, soldiers, and families for centuries.James and Shaun challenge Catholic men to stop viewing the Rosary as an old lady’s devotion and start wielding it as the weapon for warriors. The discussion dives into why Our Lady chose something so simple yet so profound, how the Rosary defends the home, and why it must be restored to the heart of every Catholic household today.In this episode, you’ll learn:<ul><li>The true story of how St. Dominic received the Rosary from Our Lady.</li><li>Why the Rosary is still relevant and needed in our modern spiritual war.</li><li>How parents can introduce prayer and sacramentals to their children without frustration.</li><li>How to reclaim the Rosary as a weapon for yourself and your family.</li></ul>Challenge for Men: Pick up your Rosary every day this weekProducts/References Mentioned:<ul><li><a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/saints-and-sacramentals-saint-dominic-and-the-rosary/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Saints and Sacramentals: Saint Dominic and the Rosary by Shaun McAfee</a></li><li><a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/compendium-of-sacramentals-encyclopedia-of-the-churchs-blessings-signs-and-devotions/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Compendium of Sacramentals by Shaun McAfee</a></li><li><a href="https://shop.catholic.com/20-answers-relics-sacramentals/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">20 Answers: Relics and Sacramentals</a></li><li><a href="https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/the-controversial-history-of-the-rosary" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Article: “The Controversial History of the Rosary”</a></li></ul>Powerful Quotes:<ol><li>“Our Lady called the Rosary the battering ram against the enemy — and that’s exactly what it is.”</li><li>“Tru</li></ol><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!

EP38 -Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Grewing up, I knew the world expected several things from me as a young black man. One of them was the assumption that I would be a lifelong Democrat. &nbsp;
&nbsp;And for a while, I obliged.&nbsp;
I was a huge cheerleader of Obama in 2008. I registered Democrat when I turned 18 in 2011. In college, I argued liberal viewpoints against my conservative friends. &nbsp;&nbsp;Even after college, I continued on this path of trying to persuade those around me that the Progressives had it right AND that their policies were more in line with Church teaching than those of the political right. &nbsp;&nbsp;
Well, all that changed. And today, I'm here to tell you why. &nbsp;&nbsp;

EP 157 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

The Andrew Tate phenomenon has hit the world by storm. While he has preached particularly to young men and how to better themselves, today Father Dom and James tackle his recent conversion to Islam and some comments he made regarding why Christianity is not the true religion. Can masculinity and religion coexist harmoniously? We're hitting the ground running today with an audacious exploration of masculinity in Catholicism, spurred by a recent video from Andrew Tate, who held the world's attention as he converted to Islam. Our discussion burrows deep into Tate's perspective on his conversion and masculinity, illuminating his journey from Christianity to Islam.  We're tearing down misconceptions and stereotypes about Catholicism, grace, and masculinity, showing you that these elements are not at odds but can indeed coexist and enrich men's lives. We're also taking you through the history of the Latin Mass, the fall and rise of traditional Catholic teachings, and the epic power of Jesus, who was anything but weak. After all, Jesus is the epitome of what it means to be a man. With the world caught in a swirling storm of secularism, relativism, and hedonism, we're holding the torch high, reminding you of the strength, discipline, and unshakable resolve found in the Catholic faith. Keep an open mind, tune in, and let's walk this enlightening path of faith, strength, and masculinity together.<a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a href="https://exodus90.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Exodus 90</a> Gain freedom.

The End of Porn? (Nick Stumphauzer) | Ep. 556

Fr. Chase and Nathan have a very real, honest conversation about sexuality, i.e. sex before marriage, masturbation, homosexuality, pornography, etc. These topics are not easy to discuss and the Church's stance on them has often been muddied or distorted. In this series of conversations, they attempt to lay out the truth regarding the goodness of sexuality and human intimacy, while addressing common misconceptions around sexual sins.&nbsp;
Fr. Chase is a former professional soccer player turned baller Catholic priest. He serves as the Vocations Director for the Diocese of Peoria, IL and he is the Chaplain of Seeking Excellence Ministries.&nbsp;

A <a href= "https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/02/america-decline-hanging-out/677451/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recent article in The Atlantic</a> magazine highlights the crisis of isolation befalling the United States. Americans have never been—or felt—more solitary, especially the younger generations. And the consequences are often fatal: loneliness is a major cause of the recent spikes in depression, anxiety, and suicide, which are at unprecedented levels. Today, we discuss the loss of our social bonds and how Catholic thought can help heal and re-unite us. A listener asks, given free will, does God know what choices we will make? 00:00 | Intro 01:23 | Bishop Barron's recent USCCB and diocesan work 02:22 | Why should a person's chosen isolation matter to anyone else? 04:34 | Individuality vs. the Catholic conception of the individual 09:11 | Distinguishing between solitude and isolation 12:43 | Why in-person communities matter 14:00 | The role of unchosen communities in an individual's development 16:09 | How to view the company of others 17:34 | Can one adequately substitute animal companionship for community? 22:06 | New media, smart devices, and screen time 26:45 | Advice to encourage more in-person gatherings 27:53 | Listener question 29:32 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Show Notes: <ul> <li>"<a href= "https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/02/america-decline-hanging-out/677451/">Why Americans Suddenly Stopped Hanging Out</a>" article in The Atlantic</li> <li>Screen time stats: <a href= "https://www.harmonyhit.com/phone-screen-time-statistics/?clreqid=a5b99b78-5919-4ddd-a2d7-5cb3c4e66e6d&kbid=58587"> https://www.harmonyhit.com/phone-screen-time-statistics/?clreqid=a5b99b78-5919-4ddd-a2d7-5cb3c4e66e6d&kbid=58587</a></li> <li>Learn about the Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

WOF 433: Healing Antisocial America

Why do so many young people drift away from God and the Church, and how can we help them return? This is a pressing question for all Catholics, but especially for parents who are brokenhearted about their own sons or daughters who have become unaffiliated. In today's episode, Bishop Barron and Brandon Vogt discuss Brandon's new book, just published by Word on Fire, titled <a href= "https://wordonfire.org/return">Return: How to Draw Your Child Back to the Church</a>, which provides a game plan for parents hoping to see their loved ones come back to the faith. A listener asks, what is the promise that God gives us if we keep His commandments? Eternal life, or something else? And what, exactly, is eternal life?

WOF 103: Why is there a Christmas Season?

IT FEELS LIKE IT'S BEEN FOREVER since I recorded a podcast. Episodes have still been coming out, but they were recorded months ago. I had a ton of thoughts, learnings, and reflections over the past month since so much has happened. 

Today's episode is a quick update and review of the wedding week, wedding day, and honeymoon. The bulk of the episode covers my learnings from seeing Dr. Jordan Peterson speak live here in Denver just four days before getting married.

Ep 136 | Wedding, Honeymoon, and Jordan Peterson Reflections

This one’s for all the “cradle Christians” and the non-Christians who have ever been curious about how people find faith. Have you ever wondered what a non-Christian’s first experience at church must feel like? If you’ve been going for years, you might take it for granted how “normal” it feels, but it certainly is anything but normal for a first-timer! From his agnostic beginnings to a church inside a movie theatre to faith conversations on the football field to his discovery of Truth, Braden...

Okay...full disclosure. James and Ryan will be discussing the Levels of Prayer in an epic 2-part series starting today! Am I the only one that instantly thought of Avicii's Levels when you think of that? Yes? Crickets.....okay then :(. For those of you who want to enjoy it, here's a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgxHqMpK1Nw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">link</a>. Back to the meat and potatoes, James and Ryan do a deeeep dive into the different levels of prayer. In Part 1, they give you an overview of the 3-different "ways" of prayer as well as all nine levels before teasing you with only levels 1-2. They also discuss Ryan's checklist for mental prayer, which you can find here:  <ul><li>Here is how you do Mental Prayer:<ul><li>Prepare: Place yourself in God's presence and pray for the grace to meditate</li><li>Begin the meditation</li><li>Reflect on particular subject, some truth of God or the Faith (more on this later)</li><li>Examine yourself in relation to this truth</li><li>Think of how you can improve in this aspect</li><li>Affections like sorrow for sin, hope in God, and love arise in your heart from considering the subject of your meditation</li><li>Offer petitions in your heart to God: for people in your life, for yourself, your family, your enemies, for the Church, and so on</li><li>Resolve to conquer your main vice or grow in a needed virtue</li><li>Conclusion: Thank God for the graces He gave you</li></ul></li></ul> Like what you heard?
