Breaking Curses and Confronting The Enemy with Michael Miller

Even though written fifteen hundred years ago, Pope St. Gregory The Great’s landmark treatise on the rule of shepherds continues to provide valuable insight to us today on what it means to lead.  Notably he says that leaders have to be virtuous.  Why is this?  What’s the role of virtue in leadership?  This last class in this series closes out our treatment of this great document by comparing the virtuous rule with the rule of the wicked.

DGT Episode 137 - St. Gregory The Great - Of Leaders And Shepherds Part 4

Leaders are caught between two worlds.  On the one hand it seems like our faith wants us to be meek and humble.  On the other hand the challenges that we face require us to be courageous and bold.  How do we find the balance between these two?  St. Peter had to face the same challenges.  Let’s see how he met them.

Fr. Kevin Kolker, the youngest of four siblings, including The BeatiDude's very own Paul Kolker, shares a reflection on his first year of priesthood. He describes the first year as drinking from the firehose of the Living Water. As the Parochial Vicar at Christ the King Catholic Church in the Diocese of Dallas, Fr. Kevin has loved the opportunity to serve his flock in the sacraments. His description of daily life as a diocesan priest is full of joy and gratitude, especially when describing the opportunities to visit the sick, hear confessions, and pray over the dying. <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://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>

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.

Greatness Has Always Been God's Plan for You

Everybody wants to be authentic, but are we willing to pay the price?  What does authenticity really look like from leadership today?  Will people even respect it?  In the fourth of our series on the speeches of St. Paul in the Acts of The Apostles, we look at St. Paul’s speech in Jerusalem before the crowd that will eventually imprison him.  It is a speech in which he bears witness to the truth of his faith.

Episode 38 - Jesus reveals He is perfect and warns men of the necessity of righteousness - Lenten Daily Gospel Bible Study - Wednesday March 15, 2023 - Mt 5:17-19

On Easter Sunday, 2011, Chris Faddis’ late wife Angela was admitted to the hospital after an emergency room visit revealed a large mass in her colon and multiple masses in her liver. The diagnosis was stage IV metastatic colon cancer, with no chance of a cure. Upon doctors informing the couple of the news, Angela’s words to Chris were, “Jesus still rose, so we will trust.” Her witness in death inspired Chris and his friend Dr. John Oertle to launch Solidarity HealthShare, a national not-for-profit ministry that provides an affordable and ethical alternative to fund healthcare costs while protecting and practicing Catholic beliefs. Chris shares the ups and downs of getting Solidarity off the ground and enjoys many laughs and some singalongs with the BeatiDudes throughout it all. Chris is married to Jennifer, and they have five beautiful children. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of the world’s greatest salesperson to address the prompt, “Jesus specialized in ______ before his public ministry.” Paul delivers a mic-drop moment for the ages. The TBD Question of the day - “What is a time in your life that you wish you could do over?” The show concludes in true Reverse Simpsons fashion when Chris and the Dudes go head-to-head in a grip-strength competition.<h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

Wife’s WITNESS in Death Inspires New Healthshare Ministry | Chris Faddis | Episode #055

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by become a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father. As we end Advent and enter into the Christmas season, we hear of the astounding human lineage of Jesus Christ the Son of God. We&apos;ll reflect upon the importance of seeking the help of the Holy Spirit to gain the fruits of Chastity and Modesty. And we will also seek the help of Jesus to help a man fulfill his duty to be a Catholic father who brings many to Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church.  See the show notes for a complete transcript, including today&apos;s references for teaching from the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Episode 5 - The Nativity of Our Lord - Vigil Mass Prep - December 24, 2022 - Mt 1:1-25

On today’s podcast, we’re talking about the temptation to treat faith in God as a transactional process, rather than one that is transformational. We’ll learn that faith, by definition, is not based on proof or guarantees and that once we’ve given God our “yes,” we need to trust in Him.

Success Isn't Worth Losing Your Family

When a child learns how to be virtuous at a young age, the more likely they are to continue being virtuous when they grow up. Virtues need practice and every time a child practice a virtue, the more ingrained it becomes into that child's very being. Deacon Harold explores this more today.

Teaching Children Virtue

Most Catholic dads are working hard in their home. The problem? They’re not working on it. There’s a difference between a household that runs because you’re there holding it together — and one that’s been designed to form your wife and children for heaven even when you’re not in the room.In this episode, Dave and Adam get into John Cuddeback’s framework for the domestic church, pull from their book Living Beyond Sunday, and share the 3 telltale signs your home is running on willpower instead of design.

Stop Running Your Home on Willpower: 3 Signs Your Household Was Built to Be Managed, Not to Form Saints

The life of King Solomon is exceptional in many ways.  From his virtue to his success to his covenant with God, the life of King Solomon serves as a great example and inspiration for Christian leaders.  Nevertheless, not everything about the life of this great king is admirable.  Like all of us he had faults and failings.  And because he did not deal with them effectively these became the source of his downfall.  And in his failure as much as his victory we can also learn how to lead.

DGT Episode 349 - Falling From The Heights - King Solomon Part 6

"The Word needs to be listened to attentively and heard in mind and heart with a hearing that is eminently receptive according to Guy Ouray, The Mass, p.36. Today Deacon Harold reflects on how silence is the best way to hear from God and in the Soulful Psalm we look at Psalm 28

Sound of Silence

As we enter the 5th Sunday in Lent, Deacon Harold looks at the mass readings and espeirencing YOUR Lazarus stories on Word of God Wednesday.

5th Sunday of Lent, Year A

As men, we have a tendency to hide our pain from others. We like to show off a strong impervious armor to others when deep down we can be experiencing a tremendous amount of pain. 

Hiding our pain can even extend to hiding our pain from God. Pain ultimately creates vulnerability and that vulnerability can manifest in lies and other forms of sin. We can choose to be vulnerable with God or we can choose to be vulnerable to sin. 

It is up to us to search our souls and share our pain with God. Don't avoid your pain don't ignore your sin; face it head on bringing it to God in Confession and remember that you are not alone in your pain, God is right there with you.

Father Martin's Famous Skull Injury, UFOS, And The Rise in Demonic Activity

A good friend brings tremendous joy, offers new perspectives, and allows us the chance to live in community with others. Sometimes old friends drift away and new friends appear. Deacon Harold opens this up more as well as looking at the Soulful Psalm from today's Mass.

How to Cherish Friendships

There are many philosophies about leadership.  Some hold that the leader needs to keep themselves at a distance from the people that they lead – that the leader always needs to stay aloof and one step above. Others hold that leadership needs to be an exercise from within a community – almost like a shared charge that’s passed around.  What’s the truth?  How do we reconcile the need to lead forward and at the same time belong to the people that we serve?

The sacrament of apostolic ministry comprises three degrees. Indeed “the divinely instituted ecclesiastical ministry is exercised in different degrees by those who even from ancient times have been called bishops, priests and deacons.” Deacon Harold breaks open this bond today.

Lent/Easter Retreat, Conference 3 (w/Retreat Leader Greg Raymond)

In this conversation, Matt welcomes Sister Magnificat Rose and Sister Mary Grace of the Sisters of Life, a religious community founded in 1991 by Cardinal O'Connor to protect the sacredness of human life. The sisters share their vocation stories, the transformative encounters they have with strangers simply by wearing the habit, and the profound ministry they offer to women facing crisis pregnancies. The conversation weaves together deeply personal reflections on self-reliance, God's mercy, shame, community life, and what it means to truly see and receive every human person as sacred.

Why Are So Many Young Women Becoming Nuns Today? (Sisters of Life) | Ep. 573

Hope can be an incredibly powerful motivator. It can keep you moving forward in the most desperate of situations. But if your hope is grounded in the wrong things it can spiral you into greater despair; particularly if you are betrayed by the people or things you hope in. 

What do you hope for? Who are you placing your hope in? If the answer is not God, you are likely setting yourself up for a great deal of hurt. Are you placing the majority of your hope in yourself, others, business partners, friends, luck, worldly goals like financial success? 

Take time this week to consider what you hope for and what you hope in. Ask God to help you hope in Him and the salvation offered in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

#35 Where Is Your Hope

This week Jon Leonetti gives us one last reflection for Advent. It's a reminder that John 3:16 is not just a general proclamation for the masses, John 3:16 is meant specifically for YOU. Just because you might be familiar with this passage don't gloss over it, meditate on every word this week. 

For You

About the Topic:
<ol>
<li> The Good as a Cause of Love</li>
</ol> 
<ol>
<li> That it is (ST I-II:26:1)</li>
</ol> 
“As stated above (Q. XXVI., A. 1), Love belongs to the appetitive power which is a passive faculty. Wherefore its object stands in relation to it as the cause of its movement or act. Therefore the cause of love must needs be love’s object. Now the proper object of love is the good; because, as stated above (Q. XXVI., AA. 1, 2), love implies a certain connaturalness or complacency of the lover for the thing beloved, and to everything, that thing is a good, which is akin and proportionate to it. It follows, therefore, that good is the proper cause of love.
<ol start="2">
<li> Application to Married Life</li>
</ol> 
<ul>
<li>The more virtuous, the more loveable.</li>
<li>Foster natural virtues (prudence, temperance, fortitude, and justice)</li>
<li>Foster supernatural virtues (faith, hope, and love)</li>
</ul> 
<ol>
<li> Beauty as a Cause of Love </li>
<li> That it is (ST I-II:26:1 ad 3)</li>
</ol> 
“The beautiful is the same as the good, and they differ in aspect only. For since good is what all seek, the notion of good is that which calms the desire; while the notion of the beautiful is that which calms the desire, by being seen or known. Consequently those senses chiefly regard the beautiful, which are the most cognitive, viz., sight and hearing, as ministering to reason; for we speak of beautiful sights and beautiful sounds. But in reference to the other objects of the other senses, we do not use the expression beautiful, for we do not speak of beautiful tastes, and beautiful odours. Thus it is evident that beauty adds to goodness a relation to the cognitive faculty: so that good means that which simply pleases the appetite; while the beautiful is something pleasant to apprehend.”
<ol start="2">
<li> Application to Married Life</li>
</ol> 
<ul>
<li>The more beautiful, the more loveable.</li>
<li>Beauty as seen: e.g., physical appearances, external behavior, facial expression of mood, etc.</li>
<li>Beauty as known: e.g., knowledge of spouses life, skills, ideas, etc.</li>
</ul> 
<ol>
<li> Knowledge is Cause of Love </li>
<li> That it is (ST I-II:26:2)</li>
</ol> 
“As stated above (A. 1), good is the cause of love, as being its object. But good is not the object of the appetite, except as apprehended. And therefore love demands some apprehension of the good that is loved. For this reason the Philosopher (Ethic. ix. 5, 12) says that bodily sight is the beginning of sensitive love: and in like manner the contemplation of spiritual beauty or goodness is the beginning of spiritual love. Accordingly knowledge is the cause of love for the same reason as good is, which can be loved only if known.”
<ol start="2">
<li> Application to Married Life</li>
</ol> 
<ul>
<li>The more knowledge we have of our spouses, the move loveable they become.</li>
<li>Deep and meaningful conversation fosters growth in knowledge of spouse.</li>
</ul> 
<ol>
<li> Likeness is Cause of Love </li>
<li> That it is (ST I-II:26:3)</li>
</ol> 
“Likeness, properly speaking, is a cause of love . . . One kind of likeness arises from each thing having the same quality actually: for example, two things possessing the quality of whiteness are said to be alike . . . [this] kind of likeness causes love of friendship or well-wishing. For the very fact that two men are alike, having, as it were, one form, makes them to be, in a manner, one in that form: thus two men are one thing in the species of humanity, and two white men are one thing in whiteness. Hence the affections of one tend to the other, as being one with him; and he wishes good to him as to himself.”
<ol start="2">
<li> Application to Married Life</li>
</ol> 
<ul>
<li>It often occurs when one excels in an area and the other doesn’t, there can be tension. As such, we should strive to attain likeness or commonality in some areas of the spousal friendship.</li>
<li>E.g., exercise, topics of study, laughing at memes, etc.</li>
</ul>
