Everyone wants to be happy. Everyone is searching for a happiness that lasts and transcends the ups and downs of life. Dr. David Hajduk discusses how God has placed this natural desire for happiness in us so we are drawn to Him, Who alone can fulfill it. The Devil, however, tries to derail our efforts to find true happiness by distracting us with worldly things like sensual pleasure, power and popularity, and possessions. We need to turn to God to find the answers to our deepest questions about the meaning of life and the way to fulfillment.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>

10 combat tours. 4,000 soldiers brought home alive. One daughter&rsquo;s cry for help &mdash; and suddenly, the battlefield was home. In this gripping episode of Heroic Stories, former Army Special Forces officer Sean Berg opens up about the wars he fought overseas &mdash; and the one he never saw coming: watching his teenage daughter spiral into a mental health crisis that nearly took her life.
From running combat missions in Afghanistan to holding his daughter after a suicide attempt, Sean shares the raw, unfiltered truth about masculinity, helplessness, faith, and the power of choosing family over career. What happens when a warrior trained for every scenario faces one he can&rsquo;t control? How do you hold onto your faith when everything seems lost? And what does it mean to live a life of purpose when your past identity no longer fits?
This is not just a story of survival &mdash; it&rsquo;s a story of surrender, redemption, and a father&rsquo;s decision to fight the right war. For every man who&rsquo;s ever felt broken, overwhelmed, or unsure how to lead &mdash; this conversation is a map home.

Anchored In Hope with Father Larry Richards - Catholic Faith

This is the raw, powerful true story of Robert Tunmire, co-founder of Heroic Men, who went from the edge of destruction to a life of purpose and impact. At 16, Robert didn&rsquo;t care if his future led to death or jail&mdash;until a chance meeting with a mentor changed everything. What follows is a story of redemption, sacrifice, and spiritual awakening.
In this episode, you&rsquo;ll hear how a man with no direction found his calling, built a business at 17, and eventually discovered that true strength comes not from doing it all, but from surrendering it all. From dealing with the pain of past mistakes&mdash;including the haunting regret of an abortion&mdash;to mentoring young men, Robert's story is proof that heroism isn&rsquo;t about perfection. It&rsquo;s about presence, courage, and becoming the man someone else needs you to be.

Catholic ReCon | Conversion Stories

Ever feel like you’re just trying to survive the chaos—leading at home, showing up at work, holding it together through grief—but inside you're wondering, is this really what God meant by "abundant life?" Jeff Cavins gets it. Sean and Jeff dive deep into what it actually means to be a disciple—not a fan, not a cultural Catholic, but a man on mission. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/brotherhood">Join the Heroic Brotherhood</a>Jeff opens up about the moment he knew—at 18 years old—he was called to teach Scripture for the rest of his life. But this isn’t a highlight reel. He shares how he kept going through loss—literally stepping on stage to speak the moment he found out his dad had passed. They talk about spiritual burnout, the loneliness men don’t admit, and the surprising power of talking to God out loud in your car.This one’s for the guys who want more than Sunday Mass. It’s for men hungry for brotherhood, purpose, and a real encounter with Christ. You’ll learn how to use Lexio Divina, how to mentor others, and why the world needs men who lead even in suffering. Bonus: you’ll never hear the song “25 or 6 to 4” the same again.

Today, on the Feast of All Souls, we celebrate the "everyday", "unofficial" saints who have died, including those still being perfected in Purgatory. Often other Christians will say to us, “Why do you ask the dead to pray for you? Why don’t you just pray straight to God?” Deacon Harold answers these and other questions today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 21:9-14.

WOF 297: Bishop Barron Presents: Robert George

Jeff Joaquin’s journey is packed with hard-hitting truths and raw moments of transformation. From turning personal pain into purpose, to redefining weakness as true strength, he dives into the life-altering grip of addiction that started at age 9, nearly destroyed him by 21, and revealed his darkest battles with pornography and drugs. Smartphones become “original sin” devices, and he unveils three game-changing steps to fight addiction for good. Through painful revelations—including a haunting regret and a heart attack that pushed him to find faith—Jeff challenges men to take up the ultimate responsibility of fatherhood, confront the emptiness of workaholism, and reject the world’s lies. Finding forgiveness in confession, he calls men to live with authenticity, stand as “soldiers for Christ,” and embrace life’s highest calling. Inspired by the story of a martyr, he sends one final, powerful message: live for truth, no matter the cost.This talk was presented live at the morning convocation in October 2024. Jeff prays that his testimony shared with these young men helps them avoid the mistakes he made when he was growing up. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/jeffmjoaquin">Follow Jeff online </a>

In this episode, Dr. David Hajduk gives his take on why, in order to be a faithful Christian, you must have a devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, offering a wealth of Biblical evidence. He also tackles the question of whether praying the Rosary can be considered "optional" for Catholics, once one considers the history of this prayer, its importance to Mary herself, and the teachings about Saints and Popes about it. ✨Join us on our mission! https://arrayofhope.org/donate - Support Our Sponsors -<a href="https://bit.ly/3CFdNIG" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Mother of Divine Grace School</a>&nbsp;- Founded by Laura Berquist in 1995, it offers a Catholic, classical approach to distance learning. - Connect with us -<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Facebook</a><a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Instagram</a><a href="https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Youtube</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/podcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Website</a> ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction02:59 The Rosary: Essential Devotion for a Faithful Catholic04:38 Why True Devotion to Mary Is Essential for Every Faithful Catholic07:00 Why Mary Deserves The Highest Honor: Reason #107:21 Why Mary Deserves The Highest Honor: Reason #208:32 Why Mary Deserves The Highest Honor: Reason #309:41 Why Mary Deserves The Highest Honor: Reason #410:53 Why Mary Deserves The Highest Honor: Reason #512:45 Is the Rosary the Most Fitting Honor for Mary?13:24 Did the Rosary Really Come from Heaven?14:14 Was the Rosary Heaven’s Divine Weapon &amp; Answer to Heresy?19:47 Mother of Divine Grace School21:52 The Rosary’s Miraculous Beginnings23:42 How the Rosary Changed the Course of History at Muret26:09 The Battle for Christendom: Faith and the Rosary in Action27:59 Pope Pius V, the Rosary, and the Battle of Lepanto29:44 The Rosary and the Defeat of the Ottoman Forces at Vienna31:50 Saints and Popes on the Power of the Rosary35:48 Why Devotion to Mary and the Rosary is Crucial for Salvation37:05 The Rosary: A Gift We Owe to Our Blessed Mother38:22 End

In this episode of Heroic Hotline, Sean Lynn and Father Andrew Bennett delve into the often-taboo subjects of faith and politics. They discuss the importance of Catholic engagement in political life, the differences between Canadian and American political dynamics, and the role of Catholic social teaching in guiding political action. The conversation emphasizes the need for Catholics to be proactive in their political engagement, to understand their responsibilities as citizens, and to foster community dialogue. They also explore the role of clergy and laity in political discussions and the importance of educating others about the Church's teachings and the papacy.

The Catholic Man Show

This Corpus Christi Sunday, we reflect on the history of God's relationship with us. From the Passover through to the Resurrection, Christ shows us how he lays down his body for us, you and me. And he laid it down even before anyone took it from him. We are wounded sinners, blessed by the body of the Son of God. Join Mike in his reflections on the final covenant between God and Creation. This week on the Heroic Word, Mike Donovan, a Heroic Leadership Coach from New York, shares his reflections on the Scripture readings for this Sunday. Join us in the <a href="https://heroicmen.circle.so/c/heroic-word/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Heroic Word</a> group in the Heroic Brotherhood!

Corpus Christi: The Eucharist as the Final Covenant

Tim Glemkowski doesn't just talk about faith; he challenges you to step up and experience the transformative power of the Eucharist. He’s calling out the difference between going through the motions and living a faith that’s real, conscious, and deeply personal. In a world that’s moved beyond Christendom, Glemkowski pushes the Church to embrace a "missionary conversion"—a complete shift in how we reach people. It starts with a deep encounter with Christ in the Eucharist, setting the faithful on fire and driving them to take action in the world.Glemkowski lays down a four-pillar framework for Eucharistic intimacy: encounter, identity, life, and mission. This isn’t just about feeling good; it’s about living a life of trust, obedience, and self-surrender that has real impact. The Eucharistic Revival, as he sees it, is a wake-up call for the Church in the U.S. to reconnect with its Eucharistic core, fueling a renewal in liturgy, personal faith, and missionary drive. Glemkowski challenges us to make the Eucharist the source and summit of our lives, turning our faith into a force that makes a difference in the world.About the 2024 Summit: The Heroic Leadership Summit is the annual, no-nonsense, cutting-edge event for Catholic men hungry for serious growth in their faith journey.

Discrimination of Demons

Building Brotherhood

Most Reverend Edward J. Burns, Bishop of the Diocese of Dallas, is back for a deep-dive discussion on the shepherd’s role in leading the flock. Two years ago, Bishop Burns launched a series of listening sessions in preparation for the 2024 Dallas Synod. The implementation of the solutions from this process will culminate in December 2031 with the 500th anniversary celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe appearing to St. Juan Diego. Bishop Burns was ordained to the priesthood with the Diocese of Pittsburgh on June 25, 1983. Next, he was ordained a Bishop and installed in the Diocese of Juneau, Alaska, in 2009. The Diocese of Dallas was blessed when the Most Reverend Edward J. Burns was installed as the eighth Bishop of the Diocese of Dallas in 2017.

176: Divine Simplicity & William Lane Craig W/ Fr. Gregory Pine

Jason Shanks is a Catholic father, leader, and innovator. Over the last two decades, Jason’s work has primarily focused on creating and renewing Catholic apostolates and organizations, infusing in them a new passion and growth mindset necessary to lead more people to Christ and His Church. Jason holds a BA in education from Miami University of Ohio, an MA in Theology from the Pontifical College Josephinum with an emphasis in the New Evangelization, and an MA in nonprofit administration from Mendoza College of Business of the University of Notre Dame. He also holds a certificate in Fundraising Management from the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University.The Dudes start this show with a bonus edition of Blessed are the Joke Makers, where each takes on a different persona to address the prompt, “The youth minister has a tattoo of ___________.”Then Jason reflects on the thousands of Catholic innovation ideas that he and his team reviewed during the three-year run of the OSV Innovation Challenge. They were surprised to learn that the most common problem that the innovators were trying to solve was loneliness. <a href="https://jasonrshanks.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Follow Jason</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Pencil Bureau</a>

ISOLATION Plagues the YOUNG CATHOLIC Church | Jason Shanks, OSV Innovation | #048

We’ve journeyed together through the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas about making decisions.  We’ve learned about discernment, about counsel, about timing and about so much else.  And now is the time to act.  In this final segment on our series on making winning decisions with St. Thomas Aquinas, I want to look with you on the theology of the imperium or the command that our mind tells our will to make - getting over the hurdle of constantly wondering whether or not we should something and crossing the threshold of success.

Food Being Art?

When most people speak about leadership today, they mean it in the context of business.  And there are ample examples of great leadership in the world of business, and ample examples of Catholics who have typified that same leadership in the world of business.  But I’d like to focus us today on the reflection of a great Saint who was not a business leader but in fact the Pope, Pope St. John Paul II, and see how his life teaches us about Catholic leadership.

Pope St. John Paul II used the term “culture of death'' in his 1995 encyclical Evangelium Vitae to capture the secular world’s dark confluence of poisonous ideas and practices that lead—directly and indirectly—to spiritual and physical ruin. Sadly, we’ve seen the the culture of death advance on many fronts. Today, we focus on the increasing legalization of suicide in the United States and abroad. Listen as we discuss the issue and how Catholics can and should respond to it.  A listener asks why we pray for the dead, and can we pray for the souls on atheists and non-Catholics? 00:00 | Intro  01:18 | Bishop Barron's recent diocesan work  02:34 | The role of euphemism in the euthanasia debate  06:39 | Unpacking "autonomy" and "compassion"  12:31 | Responding to critics of the slippery slope argument  20:56 | The State's role in moral disputes  24:40 | How can Catholics positively respond to euthanasia?  26:50 | Listener question  28:15 | Word on Fire Institute SHOW NOTES: <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_25031995_evangelium-vitae.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Evangelium Vitae</a></li> <li>“<a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/its-not-your-life-its-not-your-death-its-not-your-choice/">It’s Not Your Life, It’s Not Your Death, It’s Not Your Choice</a>” article by Bishop Barron</li> <li><a href= "https://www.compassionandchoices.org/resource/states-or-territories-where-medical-aid-in-dying-is-authorized"> https://www.compassionandchoices.org/resource/states-or-territories-where-medical-aid-in-dying-is-authorized</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254197/assisted-suicide-in-the-united-states-where-is-it-legal" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254197/assisted-suicide-in-the-united-states-where-is-it-legal</a></li> <li>Learn more about the Word on Fire Institute: <a class= "yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--display-type yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" tabindex="0" href= "https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbHU3akV5RExKNWd4VDc3RXNJNTVxNHNnR0o0Z3xBQ3Jtc0ttVE5TdWdUVWplRUVJOVZOT2RVdDFSbHBYbzFkZHJFY2kwcHVxVC1BOE5jdlRoX1J6SG01N015cHZHLUFuTU1BTjF3a0JaVzJRaEZVU3c3VVVodGNheDNyMzl2d0FPRUdLSkIydjlqYmw5Smd1NXZ4dw&q=https%3A%2F%2Finstitute.wordonfire.org%2F&v=FQZTExjyRCE" target="_blank" rel= "nofollow 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>!

Why be a Catholic Man?

Leading our families and leading our businesses entails taking our people to places that are new.  When we do that conflict almost always ensues.  New ideas, new relationships force us to confront old ways of thinking and bring about change.  A lot of people don’t like that.  St. Paul the apostle also dealt with conflict – and here is how he overcame it.

Leading in an Apostolic Time w/ Dan Cellucci

In this episode, we hear from Catholic psychologist, speaker, and author Dr. Bob Schuchts. We learn about his own path to healing and restoration, as well as how the teaching of St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body transformed his approach to his work as a professional psychologist, and led to the founding of the John Paul II Healing Center. We also discuss the fundamental source of our brokenness and need for healing - original sin - and how true and total healing only comes through Jesus Christ.-- About Dr. Bob SchuchtsBob Schuchts [Ph.D.] is the founder of the John Paul II Healing Center, and is a nationally renowned speaker throughout North America and overseas.  Bob is the author of Be Healed: Encountering the Powerful Love of Jesus in Your Life, and Be Transformed: The Healing Power of the Sacraments.  Bob has also contributed to numerous publications, and has published resources available through the Center.

Participating with God in new life doesn't need to be unpleasant.
&hellip; Hosts Pat Lencioni and Chris Stefanick give a daily reflection for Christians in the workplace.

Fear of Death

Legendary radio broadcaster Kevin Matthews takes us on a journey that’s anything but ordinary. From the heights of a high-profile career to a profound spiritual awakening, everything shifted when he stumbled upon a broken statue of the Virgin Mary in a dumpster. That moment marked the beginning of a new chapter. Now, battling multiple sclerosis and the loss of his job, Kevin shares how he rediscovered God and found unshakable hope through raw, personal encounters with Mary. His storytelling isn’t just captivating; it’s a masterclass in embracing vulnerability, confession, and the power of community. Kevin’s story challenges us to face our own brokenness and realize that, no matter what, we are deeply loved by God. This is more than a comeback story—it’s a call to embrace who we truly are.About the 2024 Summit: The Heroic Leadership Summit is the annual, no-nonsense, cutting-edge event for Catholic men hungry for serious growth in their faith journey.

His dynamic speaking engagements range from prisons to women’s conferences, where he is lauded for his heartfelt homage to Mary, the Mother of Jesus.

Broken but Loved, with Kevin Matthews 

Alan Diaz didn’t find belonging in the streets of Harlem or in a gang; he found it in real brotherhood. Growing up without a father, he got pulled into the Bloods, searching for something that could never fill the void. The regret weighed heavy, but his story didn’t end there.Alan’s life took a turn when love and faith stepped in—starting with his wife, Daniela, and powerful mentors like Father Orlando and his brother Mike. They didn’t just support him; they showed him the way to redemption.Here’s the punchline: true strength isn’t about playing tough. It’s about humility, forgiveness, and the bonds you build in Christ’s love. Alan’s journey is proof that the hardest struggles can forge the most authentic relationships. And if you’re still chasing something real, it’s time to look in the right place.

From Gang Life to Grace: Alan Diaz's Journey to Seek Heroic Manhood

If anyone were to survey the general American public, two things would stand out.  First we would all be convinced that things need to be done, actions need to take place, decisions need to be enacted.  And secondly, most of us would agree that it is really hard to do what we know we need to do.  Even if we know what needs to be done it can be a very difficult task to start what we know we need to do.  It was no different for St. Paul.  Yet he gives us the secret of allowing Christ to help us start  doing what we know needs to be done.

A Dram with Robert E. Tunmire

Most Reverend Edward J. Burns, Bishop of the Diocese of Dallas, brings the leaven and the levity to this episode as he shares the details of his vocation journey. This conversation offers an opportunity to get to know Bishop Burns on a deeper level and to join him for a series of meaningful reflections and belly-aching laughs. Bishop Burns desires to bring others before our Lord Jesus Christ and keeps that mission at the forefront of everything he does. He is a servant leader, and his motto is Pray with Confidence.Bishop Burns was ordained to the priesthood with the Diocese of Pittsburgh on June 25, 1983. Next, he was ordained a Bishop and installed in the Diocese of Juneau, Alaska, in 2009. The Diocese of Dallas was blessed when the Most Reverend Edward J. Burns was installed as the eighth Bishop of the Diocese of Dallas in 2017. In this episode, the Dudes face off in a game of Blessed are the Joke Makers in which they must take on the persona of an eccentric billionaire to address the prompt, “The Pope is writing about _____ right now.”And to finish off the show with our very special Reverse Simpsons, the Dudes ask Bishop Burns nine rapid-fire questions in a game of “Burning Questions for Bishop Burns.” <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Pencil Bureau</a>

Experiencing Divine Intimacy with Jason Shanks 

From gang life to God’s grace—Alan Diaz’s transformation is nothing short of miraculous. In this gripping episode of Heroic Stories, Alan shares his journey from the dark streets of New York, where violence and survival ruled his days, to a life of faith, purpose, and true Brotherhood in Christ. He opens up about the pain of abandonment, the false promises of gang loyalty, and the moment he cried out to God for a way out. A chance encounter, the love of a good woman, and an unexpected blessing set him on a path to redemption. Now, Alan is a devoted husband, father, and leader in his community, using his testimony to reach the next generation.

WOF 191: Googling God

Today we talk all about Mary, the Mother of God. Enjoy! Please support me (thanks!) at Patreon.com/mattfradd THE MOTHER OF CHRIST The error of Nestorius, who refused to acknowledge that Blessed Mary is the Mother of God, is likewise excluded. Both Creeds assert that the Son of God was born or was made flesh of the Virgin Mary. The woman of whom any person is born is called his mother, for the reason that she supplies the matter for human conception. Hence the Blessed Virgin Mary, who provided the matter for the conception of the Son of God, should be called the true mother of the Son of God. As far as the essence of motherhood is concerned, the energy whereby the matter furnished by a woman is formed, does not enter into the question. She who supplied matter to be formed by the Holy Spirit is no less a mother than a woman who supplies matter that is to be formed by the energy latent in male seed. If anyone insists on maintaining that the Blessed Virgin ought not to be called the Mother of God because flesh alone and not divinity was derived from her, as Nestorius contended, he clearly is not aware of what he is saying. A woman is not called a mother for the reason that everything that is in her child is derived from her. Man is made up of body and soul; and a man is what he is in virtue of his soul rather than in virtue of his body. But no man’s soul is derived from his mother. The soul is either created by God directly, as the true doctrine has it, or, if it were produced by transplanting, as some have fancied, it would be derived from the father rather than from the mother. For in the generation of other animals, according to the teaching of philosophers, the male gives the soul, the female gives the body. Consequently, just as any woman is a mother from the fact that her child’s body is derived from her, so the Blessed Virgin Mary ought to be called the Mother of God if the body of God is derived from her. But we have to hold that it is the body of God, if it is taken up into the unity of the person of God’s Son, who is true God. Therefore all who admit that human nature was assumed by the Son of God into the unity of His person, must admit that the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of God. But Nestorius, who denied that the person of God and of the man Jesus Christ was one, was forced by logical necessity to deny that the Virgin Mary was the Mother of God.

WOF 099: How to Reach the “Nones”

Today we sit down with Patrick O'Hearn and Bryan Feger, co-authors of "The Grief of Dads: Support and Hope for Catholic Fathers Navigating Child Loss." to discuss the loss of a child and the lasting effects it has on men. Drawing from their personal experiences of enduring multiple miscarriages, Patrick and Bryan offer a poignant exploration of the often-overlooked grief experienced by fathers in the wake of child loss. In this heartfelt conversation, they delve into the emotional, physical, and spiritual journey of fathers navigating miscarriage, stillbirth, and the loss of a child of any age, shedding light on the unique challenges they face and the support they need. If you have experienced this loss, you have our prayers. If you know someone that has, please share this episode with them.

GUEST SERIES: Miscarriage, Child Loss, and the Grief of Fathers

Objection 1. It would seem that the saints in heaven do not pray for us. A man's action is more meritorious for himself than for others. But the saints in heaven do not merit for themselves, neither do they pray for themselves, since they are already established in the term. Neither therefore do they pray for us. Objection 2. Further, the saints conform their will to God perfectly, so that they will only what God wills. Now what God wills is always fulfilled. Therefore it would be useless for the saints to pray for us. Objection 3. Further, just as the saints in heaven are above, so are those in Purgatory, for they can no longer sin. Now those in Purgatory do not pray for us, on the contrary we pray for them. Therefore neither do the saints in heaven pray for us. Objection 4. Further, if the saints in heaven pray for us, the prayers of the higher saints would be more efficacious; and so we ought not to implore the help of the lower saints' prayers but only of those of the higher saints. Objection 5. Further, the soul of Peter is not Peter. If therefore the souls of the saints pray for us, so long as they are separated from their bodies, we ought not to call upon Saint Peter, but on his soul, to pray for us: yet the Church does the contrary. The saints therefore do not pray for us, at least before the resurrection. On the contrary, It is written (2 Maccabees 15:14): "This is . . . he that prayeth much for the people, and for all the holy city, Jeremias the prophet of God." I answer that, As Jerome says (Cont. Vigilant. 6), the error of Vigilantius consisted in saying that "while we live, we can pray one for another; but that after we are dead, none of our prayers for others can be heard, seeing that not even the martyrs' prayers are granted when they pray for their blood to be avenged." But this is absolutely false, because, since prayers offered for others proceed from charity, as stated above (Articles 7 and 8), the greater the charity of the saints in heaven, the more they pray for wayfarers, since the latter can be helped by prayers: and the more closely they are united to God, the more are their prayers efficacious: for the Divine order is such that lower beings receive an overflow of the excellence of the higher, even as the air receives the brightness of the sun. Wherefore it is said of Christ (Hebrews 7:25): "Going to God by His own power . . . to make intercession for us" [Vulgate: 'He is able to save for ever them that come to God by Him, always living to make intercession for us.']. Hence Jerome says (Cont. Vigilant. 6): "If the apostles and martyrs while yet in the body and having to be solicitous for themselves, can pray for others, how much more now that they have the crown of victory and triumph." Reply to Objection 1. The saints in heaven, since they are blessed, have no lack of bliss, save that of the body's glory, and for this they pray. But they pray for us who lack the ultimate perfection of bliss: and their prayers are efficacious in impetrating through their previous merits and through God's acceptance. Reply to Objection 2. The saints impetrate what ever God wishes to take place through their prayers: and they pray for that which they deem will be granted through their prayers according to God's will. Reply to Objection 3. Those who are in Purgatory though they are above us on account of their impeccability, yet they are below us as to the pains which they suffer: and in this respect they are not in a condition to pray, but rather in a condition that requires us to pray for them. Reply to Objection 4. It is God's will that inferior beings should be helped by all those that are above them, wherefore we ought to pray not only to the higher but also to the lower saints; else we should have to implore the mercy of God alone. Nevertheless it happens sometime that prayers addressed to a saint of lower degree are more efficacious, either because he is implored with greater devotion, or because God wishes to make known his sanctity. Reply to Objection 5. It is because the saints while living merited to pray for us, that we invoke them under the names by which they were known in this life, and by which they are better known to us: and also in order to indicate our belief in the resurrection, according to the saying of Exodus 3:6, "I am the God of Abraham," etc. SPONSORS EL Investments: <a href= "https://www.elinvestments.net/pints">https://www.elinvestments.net/pints</a> Exodus 90: <a href= "https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/">https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/</a>  Hallow: <a href= "http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a>  STRIVE: <a href= "https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a>  GIVING Patreon: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

Do you trust in Jesus? Today, Deacon Harold looks into the peace and power behind your answer as he pulls in Luke 5 to help us see how we can and should trust Him. Also, looking into the Soulful Psalms, we look at Psalm 116B.

Do you trust in Jesus?

Brothers, we’re living in a time when manhood has been marginalized and undervalued, and it’s our duty to reclaim it. We have a dire need for brotherhood— a staggering 31% of Catholic men don't have a single friend! We men have a mandate from God on page 2 of Sacred Scripture: to serve, protect, and defend. But here’s the kicker: We can’t do it alone. Even Jesus needed help carrying His cross. We’re in a culture of compromise, where men have become too comfortable and complacent. It’s time to rise up and lead with courage, just like Matathias did during the epic wars of the Maccabees. We need to a new generation of Godly men. This isn’t just about us; it’s about the future of our families, our churches, and our culture. The strength we need comes from the Lord. So let’s band together and transform lives, because the harvest is plentiful, and the laborers are few. We need you, heroic men of God! <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/give">Donate to Heroic Men</a>

God's Mandate for Men: Why Brotherhood Makes us Stronger with Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers

<a href="https://store.magiscenter.com/products/the-catholic-faith-and-science-parish-edition-participant-workbook" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">Get the Workbook</a> | <a href="https://store.magiscenter.com/products/facilitators-guide-parish-edition-the-catholic-faith-and-science" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">Facilitator Guide</a> | While modern medicine gives us reasons to believe our souls live on after we die, there is a much older source of evidence going back to ancient Greece. The philosopher Plato made a simple observation: Nothing in our life is perfect. Every day we experience things that fall short of the best, and this makes us feel dissatisfied. But, Plato asks, how could we recognize imperfections unless we had an awareness of what perfection would be like? These desires for perfection, or transcendental desires, are a sign of the presence of God to our consciousness.In this episode you will learn that ...■ All cultures and religions across time have a shared awareness of certain universal symbols and meaning.■ We have a desire for perfect truth, perfect love, perfect goodness, perfect beauty, and perfect home, that could not come from any worldly knowledge or experience.■ God not only gives us a transcendent soul, He also fills our soul with the horizon of His perfection, and beckons us.■ Virtually all cultures commemorate sacred places and times, as well as ritual worship of the divine who calls them to holiness.■ In our conscience, God is the omniscient, invisible searcher of hearts who bids us to do good and avoid evil.■ Those who open themselves to God find not only the sacred, but also a personal, empathetic, and loving God passionately interested in bringing us to the fullness of life.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr. Spitzer is a Catholic priest in the Jesuit order and is currently the President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith (<a href="https://magiscenter.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">magiscenter.com</a>). The Magis Center produces documentaries, books, high school programs, college courses, adult-education programs, and social media materials on the close connection among science, reason, and faith.

He doesn’t let fear or pride control his life.Look at the Cross. The perfect man, Jesus Christ, was nailed to it. Not for Himself. Not for His comfort. But for YOU. That is what it means to be a man—to lay down your life for others, to surrender your ego, to stop living for yourself and start living for Christ.The question isn’t whether or not you want to be a man. The question is: will you become the man God made you to be?

Ignite Your Faith

Dr. Christian Smith has written a new book titled <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Handing-Down-Faith-Religion-Generation/dp/0190093323/?tag=woonfi-20"> Handing Down the Faith: How Parents Pass Their Religion on to the Next Generation</a>. It's based on new research about how parents successfully raise children to become religiously-practicing adults. In this episode, Bishop Barron and Brandon Vogt walk through his findings and discuss what actually helps our kids to retain their faith into young adulthood. A listener asks, how do we know which religion is right, Catholicism or Protestantism?

WOF 302: How to Keep Our Kids Catholic

<a href="https://store.magiscenter.com/products/the-catholic-faith-and-science-parish-edition-participant-workbook" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">Get the Workbook</a> | <a href="https://store.magiscenter.com/products/facilitators-guide-parish-edition-the-catholic-faith-and-science" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">Facilitator Guide</a> | You probably know from school, sports, and other activities that nothing worthwhile is easy. We often have to put aside what we want right now to get what we truly want. While all four levels of happiness are good, if we want a truly satisfying and peaceful life, we will want to focus on making a positive difference for others, the culture we live in, and the Kingdom of God.Even more, we will not try to ignore our desire for the transcendent. Ultimately, experiencing level four happiness requires us to follow God’s call to Himself by making a little leap of faith. If we do make this leap, God strengthens our relationship with Him through grace. And then we come to know in our hearts the most comforting truth of all: that true happiness does not depend on things we have, or how we compare to others, or on anything else temporary in this world, but comes from giving ourselves completely to God, who brings us to the perfectly loving home we yearn for.In this episode you will learn that ...■ Our view of happiness shapes what we are looking for in life.■ To transition out of a level one-two dominant life, we will need to change our fundamental attitudes on the purpose of our life, our view of others, our view of ourselves, and our view of freedom.■ Looking for the good in others makes it easier to empathize with them and looking for the good in ourselves helps us live up to our God-given potential.■ If we have the perspective of “freedom for” rather than “freedom from,” we will see that the constraint, self-discipline, and sacrifices of lower levels of happiness are worthwhile if they lead to level three and four happiness, making life more peaceful and satisfying.■ God wants us to freely choose Him, and calls us to Him in our hearts, as well as through a Church community, transcendent beauty, and philosophical and theological wisdom.■ We must choose to follow the call of the transcendent by making a little leap of faith.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

WOF 432: Who is Dante Alighieri?

In this week’s episode, I’m diving deep into a question that we don’t often ask ourselves: “Are you being kind to yourself?” Not in the sense of pampering or indulgence, but in how we speak to ourselves, care for our mental and spiritual well-being, and confront the challenges life throws our way.

After a busy few weeks on the road and dealing with personal struggles—including trying to write a book and battling spiritual attacks—I found myself caught in a cycle of negative self-talk. From questioning my role as a husband and father to feeling overwhelmed by ministry work, it seemed like the devil was hitting me with every doubt and lie he could muster.

But here’s the truth: God doesn’t want us to live in that darkness. He calls us to renew our minds, as St. Paul says, and to take every thought captive to Christ. In this episode, I share the powerful moments when God intervened, reminding me of my worth and guiding me to be kinder to myself. I talk about the importance of resting, leaning on God’s grace, and breaking free from the lies that make us feel unworthy or inadequate.

We also explore how these personal struggles affect not just ourselves, but those around us—our families, our friends, and our communities. When we’re not kind to ourselves, it’s hard to love others as Christ calls us to . . .
