The 3 Habits of Missionary Discipleship

New York Rangers defenseman Neal Pionk cautions parents about putting too high of a priority on a child's potential hockey career. Plus, he talks about being born into the Catholic faith and attending Catholic school (K-8), coming into the NHL, moving to and living in New York City, and what happened when he tried to attend Christmas Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral.

🎧 Episode Summary:Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein — sit down with branding expert, author, and Texas Aggie Brandon Coleman Jr. for a hilarious and insightful conversation that covers everything from brand alignment to grandparenting strategies. With wisdom, humor, and a whole lot of Aggie spirit, Brandon unpacks how “a brand is a promise wrapped in a delivery” — and why that’s as true for your family as it is for your business.🪑 Key Moments:✅ Brandon’s definition of a brand: a promise that meets reality.✅ The incredible story of Santa’s Wonderland — from dusty cowboy shootouts to a $35 million Texas Christmas empire.✅ Jeff’s rebrand as Jeff Incarcerated and Paul’s “fashionable belly button.”✅ The Adventures of Champ and Honey — Brandon’s grandparenting brand that’s winning over hearts (and wills!).✅ Brandon’s powerful story of faith in business — how a near-collapse turned into a 167% growth miracle, all by listening to God.💡 Episode Highlights:• “There’s no finish line for brand alignment.”• “Holiness is a competition—run so as to win it!”• “If Jesus Christ is your CEO, you’ll kill it.”• Brandon’s reminder: Grandparenting isn’t just autopilot mode — it requires intentional branding effort.🙏 Episode Challenge:Reflect on the brand you’re building in your life — at home, in the workplace, and in your faith. Is it aligned? Is it “brand on”? Let’s go!🎁 Brandon’s Gift to the Dudes:• A copy of his book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Brand-Hidden-Power-Alignment/dp/1639090517/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0">Brand On</a>” (an Amazon bestseller and a must-read for entrepreneurs and grandparenting strategists alike!).• A crash course in “grandparent brand alignment” that left the Dudes speechless (for once).<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.corexpeditions.org/upcoming-trips">COR Expeditions - Upcoming Trips</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</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> <a href="https://www.davemooremusic.com/">Dave Moore Music</a>

BRAND-ON for Christ | Brandon Coleman Jr. | Episode #229

We live in a time in which mental health is prioritized, often times, above all else. Self-care has become a blanket statement for all things self-help, self-serving, and stress relieving.&nbsp;
We have an obligation to take care of ourselves, that is, to steward the mind, body, and soul (among other things) that God has entrusted to us.&nbsp;
I believe that the body has much to teach us about the mind and soul. The way we care for our bodies and physical health comes down to three major things: &nbsp;nutrition, exercise, and rest. Our culture tells us that mental health is solely dependent on rest. I think that's nonsense.&nbsp;
In today's episode, you'll hear about the fitness, rest, and nutrition needed for a healthy mind.&nbsp;
Be your best!&nbsp;

Here's the text we read from Aquinas: I answer that, It behooved Christ to rise again, for five reasons. First of all; for the commendation of Divine Justice, to which it belongs to exalt them who humble themselves for God's sake, according to Luke 1:52: "He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble." Consequently, because Christ humbled Himself even to the death of the Cross, from love and obedience to God, it behooved Him to be uplifted by God to a glorious resurrection; hence it is said in His Person (Psalm 138:2): "Thou hast known," i.e. approved, "my sitting down," i.e. My humiliation and Passion, "and my rising up," i.e. My glorification in the resurrection; as the gloss expounds. Secondly, for our instruction in the faith, since our belief in Christ's Godhead is confirmed by His rising again, because, according to 2 Corinthians 13:4, "although He was crucified through weakness, yet He liveth by the power of God." And therefore it is written (1 Corinthians 15:14): "If Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and our [Vulgate: 'your'] faith is also vain": and (Psalm 29:10): "What profit is there in my blood?" that is, in the shedding of My blood, "while I go down," as by various degrees of evils, "into corruption?" As though He were to answer: "None. 'For if I do not at once rise again but My body be corrupted, I shall preach to no one, I shall gain no one,'" as the gloss expounds. Thirdly, for the raising of our hope, since through seeing Christ, who is our head, rise again, we hope that we likewise shall rise again. Hence it is written (1 Corinthians 15:12): "Now if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead, how do some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?" And (Job 19:25-27): "I know," that is with certainty of faith, "that my Redeemer," i.e. Christ, "liveth," having risen from the dead; "and" therefore "in the last day I shall rise out of the earth . . . this my hope is laid up in my bosom." Fourthly, to set in order the lives of the faithful: according to Romans 6:4: "As Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life": and further on; "Christ rising from the dead dieth now no more; so do you also reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive to God."

155: 5 reasons Christ rose from the dead, W/ Trent Horn

Leading others is not easy.  Sometimes our road is marked by sorrow and hardship.  The same was true in the life of the Virgin Mary.  Her role as mother of the Son of God was marked with sorrow.  In particular when she was forced to flee into Egypt, taking her son with her Mary had to carry the sorrow of the persecution and death of the Holy Innocents, the children in Bethlehem who were killed by the king.  Mary had to play her role as mother with a broken heart but she led all the same.

How a Son's Death Led an Evangelical Christian back to the Catholic Church

Scott Williams from Catholic Concepts &amp; Sock Religious is back for the bonus show. Scott is a ministry professional turned entrepreneur and the founder of the largest Catholic sock company in the world (probably). After working nearly a decade in full-time youth ministry, Scott turned a side hustle into a rapidly growing small business in a niche Catholic corner of the internet. If you asked Scott 10 years ago if he would be selling socks and other merchandise, he would have said you're crazy. Scott and the Dudes get started with a round of “Blessed are the Joke Makers” during which they take on multiple personalities to complete the prompt, “I’m a bad Catholic because ______.” Then Scott takes the opportunity to debut several new sock designs from Sock Religious, including Blessed Carlos Acutis, the Eucharist in the Monstrance series, and the history of the Pope Mobile.

Catholicism, Body Building, and Yoga (Roxie Beckles) | Ep. 391

The Church calls Saint Joseph the Terror of Demons. A carpenter. A foster father. A man who speaks not a single word in Scripture. And hell is terrified of him.

In this episode, John Heinen sits down with Devin Schadt, executive director of the Fathers of Saint Joseph, to unpack the four reasons Satan hates Saint Joseph. These are the virtues that send demons running. The same virtues every Catholic man is called to build.

We discuss how being called a just man used to be the highest honor a man could receive, the importance of prompt obedience, confidence, and magnanimity, and silent sacrifice. Saint Joseph gives us the example and pattern to achieve this.

You can support Pints With Aquinas here: Patreon.com/pwa --- Okay, here's what Aquinas wrote: THE THIRD COMMANDMENT = "Remember to Keep Holy the Sabbath Day." This is the Third Commandment of the law, and very suitably is it so. For we are first commanded to adore God in our hearts, and the Commandment is to worship one God: "You shall not have strange gods before Me." In the Second Commandment we are told to reverence God by word: "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain." The Third commands us to reverence God by act. It is: "Remember that you keep holy the Sabbath day". God wished that a certain day be set aside on which men direct their minds to the service of the Lord. Reasons for this commandment There are five reasons for this Commandment. The first reason was to put aside error, for the Holy Spirit saw that in the future some men would say that the world had always existed. "In the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts, saying: Where is His promise or His coming? For since the time that the fathers slept, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. For this they are willfully ignorant of, that the heavens were before, and the earth out of water, and through water, created by the word of God" [2 Pet 3:3-5]. God, therefore, wished that one day should be set aside in memory of the fact that He created all things in six days, and that on the seventh day He rested from the creation of new creatures. This is why the Lord placed this Commandment in the law, saying: "Remember that you keep holy the Sabbath day." The Jews kept holy the Sabbath in memory of the first creation; but Christ at His coming brought about a new creation. For by the first creation an earthly man was created, and by the second a heavenly man was formed: "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision is worth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature" [Gal 6:15]. This new creation is through grace, which came by the Resurrection: "That as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, so shall we also be in the likeness of His resurrection" [Rm 6:4-5]. And thus, because the Resurrection took place on Sunday, we celebrate that day, even as the Jews observed the Sabbath on account of the first creation. The second reason for this Commandment is to instruct us in our faith in the Redeemer. For the flesh of Christ was not corrupted in the sepulchre, and thus it is said: "Moreover My flesh also shall rest in hope" [Ps 15:9]. "Nor will You let your holy one see corruption" [Ps 15:10]. Wherefore, God wished that the Sabbath should be observed, and that just as the sacrifices of the Old Law signified the death of Christ, so should the quiet of the Sabbath signify the rest of His body in the sepulchre. But we do not now observe these sacrifices, because with the advent of the reality and the truth, figures of it must cease, just as the darkness is dispelled with the rising of the sun. Nevertheless, we keep the Saturdays in veneration of the Blessed Virgin, in whom remained a firm faith on that Saturday while Christ was dead. The third reason is that this Commandment was given to strengthen and foreshadow the fulfillment of the promise of rest. For rest indeed was promised to us: "And on that day God shall give you rest from your labor, from your vexation, and from the hard bondage, to which you had been subjugated" [Is 14:3]. "My people shall dwell in a peaceful land, in secure accommodation, and in quiet places of rest" [Is 32:18]. We hope for rest from three things: from the labors of the present life, from the struggles of temptations, and from the servitude of the devil. Christ promised this rest to all those who will come to Him: "Come to Me, all ye that labor and are burdened, and I will refresh you. Take up My yoke upon you, and learn of Me, because I am meek and humble of heart; and you shall find rest to your souls. For My yoke is sweet and My burden light" [Mt 11:28-30] However, the Lord, as we know, worked for six days and on the seventh He rested, because it is necessary to do a perfect work: "Behold with your eyes how I have labored a little, and have found much rest to Myself" [Sir 51:35]. For the period of eternity exceeds the present time incomparably more than a thousand years exceeds one day. Fourthly, this Commandment was given for the increase of our love: "For the corruptible body is a load upon the soul" [Wis 9:15]. And man always tends downwards towards earthly things unless he takes means to raise himself above them. It is indeed necessary to have a certain time for this; in fact, some do this continually: "I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall ever be in my mouth" [Ps 33:2]. And again: "Pray without ceasing" [1 Thes 5:17]. These shall enjoy the everlasting Sabbath. There are others who do this (i.e., excite love for God) during a certain portion of the day: "Seven times a day I have given praise to You" [Ps 118:164]. And some, in order to avoid being entirely apart from God, find it necessary to have a fixed day, lest they become too lukewarm in their love of God: "If you call the Sabbath delightful... then shall you delight in the Lord" [Is 58:13-14]. Again: "Then shall you abound in delights of the Almighty, and shall lift up your face to God" [Job 22:26]. And accordingly this day is not set aside for the sole exercise of games, but to praise and pray to the Lord God. Wherefore, St. Augustine says that it is a lesser evil to plough than to play on this day. Lastly, we are given this Commandment in order to exercise works of kindliness to those who are subject to us. For some are so cruel to themselves and to others that they labor ceaselessly all on account of money. This is true especially of the Jews, who are most avaricious. "Observe the day of the Sabbath to sanctify it... that your man-servant and your maid-servant may rest, even as thyself" [19]. This Commandment, therefore, was given for all these reasons. From what we should abstain on the Sabbath "Remember that you keep holy (sanctify) the Sabbath day." We have already said that, as the Jews celebrated the Sabbath, so do we Christians observe the Sunday and all principal feasts. Let us now see in what way we should keep these days. We ought to know that God did not say to "keep" the Sabbath, but to remember to keep it holy. The word "holy" may be taken in two ways. Sometimes "holy" (sanctified) is the same as pure: "But you are washed, but you are sanctified" [1 Cor 6:11]. (that is, made holy). Then again at times "holy" is said of a thing consecrated to the worship of God, as, for instance, a place, a season, vestments, and the holy vessels. Therefore, in these two ways we ought to celebrate the feasts, that is, both purely and by giving ourselves over to divine service. We shall consider two things regarding this Commandment. First, what should be avoided on a feast day, and secondly, what we should do. We ought to avoid three things. The first is servile work. Avoidance of Servile Work.—"Neither do any work; sanctify the Sabbath day" [Jer 17:22]. And so also it is said in the Law: "You shall do no servile work therein" [Lev 23:25]. Now, servile work is bodily work; whereas "free work" (i.e., non-servile work) is done by the mind, for instance, the exercise of the intellect and such like. And one cannot be servilely bound to do this kind of work. When Servile Work Is Lawful.—We ought to know, however, that servile work can be done on the Sabbath for four reasons. The first reason is necessity. Wherefore, the Lord excused the disciples plucking the ears of corn on the Sabbath, as we read in St. Matthew (xii. 3-5). The second reason is when the work is done for the service of the Church; as we see in the same Gospel how the priests did all things necessary in the Temple on the Sabbath day. The third reason is for the good of our neighbor; for on the Sabbath the Saviour cured one having a withered hand, and He refuted the Jews who reprimanded Him, by citing the example of the sheep in a pit ("ibid."). And the fourth reason is the authority of our superiors. Thus, God commanded the Jews to circumcise on the Sabbath [Jn 7:22-23]. Avoidance of Sin and Negligence on the Sabbath.—Another thing to be avoided on the Sabbath is sin: "Take heed to your souls, and carry no burdens on the Sabbath day" [Jer 18:21]. This weight and burden on the soul is sin: "My iniquities as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me" [Ps 37:5]. Now, sin is a servile work because "whoever commits sin is the servant of sin" [Jn 8:34]. Therefore, when it is said, "You shall do no servile work therein,"[Lev 3:25]. it can be understood of sin. Thus, one violates this commandment as often as one commits sin on the Sabbath; and so both by working and by sin God is offended. "The Sabbaths and other festivals I will not abide." And why? "Because your assemblies are wicked. My soul hates your new moon and your solemnities; they are become troublesome to me" [Is 1:13] Another thing to avoid on the Sabbath is idleness: "For idleness has taught much evil" [Sir 33:29]. St. Jerome says: "Always do some good work, and the devil will always find you occupied" [Ep. ad Rusticum]. Hence, it is not good for one to keep only the principal feasts, if on the others one would remain idle. "The King's honor loves judgment" [Ps 98:4 Vulgate], that is to say, discretion. Wherefore, we read that certain of the Jews were in hiding, and their enemies fell upon them; but they, believing that they were not able to defend themselves on the Sabbath, were overcome and killed [1 Mac 2:31-38]. The same thing happens to many who are idle on the feast days: "The enemies have seen her, and have mocked at her Sabbaths" [Lam 1:7]. But all such should do as those Jews did, of whom it is said: "Whoever shall come up against us to fight on the Sabbath day, we will fight against him" [1 Mac 2:41] Do what on the Sabbath? "Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day." We have already said that man must keep the feast days holy; and that "holy" is considered in two ways, namely, "pure" and "consecrated to God." Moreover, we have indicated what things we should abstain from on these days. Now it must be shown with what we should occupy ourselves, and they are three in number. The Offering of Sacrifice.—The first is the offering of sacrifices. In the Book of Numbers (18) it is written how God ordered that on each day there be offered one lamb in the morning and another in the evening, but on the Sabbath day the number should be doubled. And this showed that on the Sabbath we should offer sacrifice to God from all that we possess: "All things are Yours; and we have given You what we received from your hand" [1 Chron 29:14]. We should offer, first of all, our soul to God, being sorry for our sins: "A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit" [Ps 50:19]; and also pray for His blessings: "Let my prayer be directed as incense in your sight" [Ps 140:2]. Feast days were instituted for that spiritual joy which is the effect of prayer. Therefore, on such days our prayers should be multiplied. Secondly, we should offer our body, by mortifying it with fasting: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercy of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice"[Rm 12:1], and also by praising God: "The sacrifice of praise shall honor Me" [Ps 49:23]. And thus on these days our hymns should be more numerous. Thirdly, we should sacrifice our possessions by giving alms: "And do not forget to do good, and to impart; for by such sacrifice God's favor is obtained" [Hb 13:16]. And this alms ought to be more than on other days because the Sabbath is a day of common joys: "Send portions to those who have not prepared for themselves, because it is the holy day of the Lord" [Neh 8:10]. Hearing of God's Word.—Our second duty on the Sabbath is to be eager to hear the word of God. This the Jews did daily: "The voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath" [Acts 13:27]. Therefore Christians, whose justice should be more perfect, ought to come together on the Sabbath to hear sermons and participate in the services of the Church! "He who is of God, hears the words of God" [Jn 8:47]. We likewise ought to speak with profit to others: "Let no evil speech proceed from your mouth; but what is good for sanctification" [Eph 4:29]. These two practices are good for the soul of the sinner, because they change his heart for the better: "Are not My words as a fire, says the Lord, and as a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?" [Jer 23:29]. The opposite effect is had on those, even the perfect, who neither speak nor hear profitable things: "Evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake, you just, and do no sin" [1 Cor 15:33]. "Your words have I hidden in my heart" [Ps 118:11]. God's word enlightens the ignorant: "Your word is a lamp to my feet" [Ps 118:105]. It inflames the lukewarm: "The word of the Lord inflamed him" [Ps 114:19] The contemplation of divine things may be exercised on the Sabbath. However, this is for the more perfect. "O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet" [Ps 33:9], and this is because of the quiet of the soul. For just as the tired body desires rest, so also does the soul. But the soul's proper rest is in God: "Be for me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge" [Ps 30:3]. "There remains therefore a day of rest for the people of God. For he who has entered into his rest has also rested from his works, as God did from His" [Hb 4:9-10]. When I go into my house, I shall repose myself with her" (i.e., Wisdom) [Wis 8:16]. However, before the soul arrives at this rest, three other rests must precede. The first is the rest from the turmoil of sin: "But the wicked are like the raging sea which cannot rest" [Is 57:20]. The second rest is from the passions of the flesh, because "the flesh lusts against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh" [Gal 5:17]. The third is rest from the occupations of the world: "Martha, Martha, you art careful and art troubled about many things" [Lk 10:41]. And then after all these things the soul rests peacefully in God: "If you call the Sabbath delightful... then shall you delight in the Lord" [Is 58:13-14]. The Saints gave up everything to possess this rest, "for it is a pearl of great price which a man having found, hid it, and for joy went off and sold all that he had and bought that field" [Mt 13:44-46]. This rest in truth is eternal life and heavenly joy: "This is my rest for ever and ever; here will I dwell, for I have chosen it" [Ps 131:14]. And to this rest may the Lord bring us all!

However, as nice as that sounds, it is in this episode that we learn how to practically use these challenges as God’s will to help us become saints.In this Episode We Discuss:<ul>
<li>Reframing to Embrace Your Suffering</li>
<li>Accepting the Challenges We Face and Growing in Sanctification</li>
<li>The Cross is the Cure</li>
<li>Complaining is a form of practical atheism</li>
<li>And More</li>
</ul> Dr. Kevin Majeres MD - Born and raised in Minnesota, Kevin attended college at the University of Dallas in Irving, Texas, and then stayed in Dallas for medical school and residency training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

Terrifying Stories of Real Exorcisms (Fr. Vincent Lampert) | Ep. 479

Servant of God who shares his “Secret Sauce” for living a life in relationship with God.
Calling himself just a regular guy who chose to be a disciple of God, Matt Strub tells us the ingredients for the ‘secret sauce’ of life to get us into a deeper relationship with Our Lord. Matt’s career has been in law enforcement and as a helicopter pilot serving in the military. He shares the ups and downs of that life and how it impacted his relationships and family life.
Through the ministry of a priest who told Matt and his wife to spend time every week in adoration, Matt felt God ‘tap him on the shoulder’ to be a better man, which then led him to be part of the formation of a group called Men of Christ in Wisconsin. Now a co-founder and board member of the Catholic Men’s Leadership Alliance, Matt continues to serve in his community advising people to not see the Commandments simply as the burdensome do’s and don’ts of being a servant of God, but to develop a personal relationship with Him so that we can follow Him willingly out of our love for Him.

A Dram with Matt Strub

On today’s podcast, we’re talking about the benefits of joining a Catholic men’s group in your parish or diocese. Most guys tell me they want to be better men, husbands, and fathers and I’ve learned that we can’t do it alone. We need community. Participation in men’s groups help us beat feelings of isolation and loneliness. They’re places where we can share our struggles as husbands and fathers, support others during setbacks and celebrate spiritual growth.

On this podcast, we learn that:
 - Isolation often breeds self-oriented behaviors, such as addiction to drugs, alcohol, or porn.
 - The right men’s group provides a place to be seen, loved, and heard.
 - A strong brotherhood fosters accountability and encouragement.

Discerning the Priesthood? Watch This! (Edem Kabasa) | Ep. 372

[I]t is superfluous to suppose that what can be accounted for by a few principles has been produced by many. But it seems that everything we see in the world can be accounted for by other principles, supposing God did not exist. For all natural things can be reduced to one principle which is nature; and all voluntary things can be reduced to one principle which is human reason, or will. Therefore there is no need to suppose God's existence. - ST I. Q, 2.

30: Has science done away with the need for God? With Trent Horn

Christian leaders have to face a constant dilemma.  Belonging to Jesus Christ and at His Service their hearts are focused on heaven, and yet having to care for the things of this world their time and their mental capacity are dominated by the things that pass.  How do we keep our souls alive and fresh in God when are time is spent with the anxieties and cares of life?  This constant problem for Christian leaders could be summed up by the expression “We need to live in the world, but not of the world.”

The one who rules by fear will also fall by fear.  This saying was never so true as in the life of King Saul.  In this fourth and final episode of our commentary on Saul as an anti-leader, we see the end of his life.  He ends his life in the same way that he led it:  fearful, controlling, and inconsistent.  Saul’s life is a wonderful pattern for us to avoid.  He shows us that the temptation to control ends in folly.

How a Methodist Christian Metalcore Band Member Became a Catholic Host and Apologist | Guest Matt Swaim

This week John and Victor discuss the true purpose of life . . . and it isn't anything the world offers us. Many men today are wrapped up in a materialist culture, putting their careers and possessions above everything else, only to realize later in life that they missed out on some of the most important things in their lives. Others think that it's enough just to show up to church on Sundays and go about their business. Maybe for some they fear that what they would get if they gave everything up wouldn't be better. 

Men, it's time we dare to believe! Jesus promises us so much more and to settle for anything else is to settle for less. It's not wrong to have questions or doubts, but we have to take those directly to our Lord and trust in Him. 

Our faith isn't something. It's everything. 

Get in the Scriptures. Go to Mass everyday. Join a men's group. There's work to be done. 

Fulton Sheen quotes mentioned in today's episode:

“We shrink therefore from God, knowing that he wants to enrich our being, rather than our having - that He wishes to elevate our nature, not to submerge and to lose it in trifles. He has called us to the superior vocation of being His children, of partaking of His nature, and of being related to Him as branches to a vine. Few of us completely want that elevation; it is our petty desire to have more, not to share the glory of being more. We want the poor shadows, not the light - the sparks, and not the sun - the arc, and not the circle.“

“As for the desire for the world and things increases in us, God makes less and less appeal. We hold back, our fists closed about our few pennies, and thus lose the fortune He holds out to us. That is why the initial step of coming to God is so hard. We cling to our nursery toys and lose the pearl of great price."

Scriptures for further reflection:

“For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life” - Mark 8:36

“Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.” - John 6:27

“Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. - 1 John 2: 15-17

“So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:1-2

“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus”. - Philip 3:14

CRACKER BARREL REFLECTIONS | Dave Moore, Musician | Episode #004

Leaders want success.  In fact, our people count on us to provide success.  That’s why it’s important to know where we can fail.  Being able to identify the pitfalls along our road is sometimes as important as knowing where we are going.  In this series of five talks, we examine the five pitfalls that plague leaders and hinder our ability to succeed.  The first among these five is fatalism and I am so looking forward to breaking it down and opening it to Christ’s hope in your lives.

DGT Episode 175 - Fatalism - Why We Fail Part 1

This week, John shares inspiring stories from a recent pilgrimage to Italy with Fr. James Clark and a group of 55 pilgrims. They visited sacred sites like Assisi, Lanciano, and the Vatican, experiencing the profound impact of Eucharistic miracles and venerating the relics of numerous saints. These moments not only deepened their faith but also strengthened the sense of community among the pilgrims.

John recounts personal, moving stories, such as an emotional experience at the site of the Eucharistic miracle in Lanciano, where he helped fellow pilgrims create third-class relics. He also shares a memorable gelato outing in Rome with teenage boys from the group, highlighting the importance of fellowship and making lasting memories. These experiences illustrate how pilgrimage can bring people closer to the Lord and to each other, fostering a family-like bond among participants.

In the final segment, John and Victor emphasize the importance of standing out in faith, inspired by Blessed Carlo Acutis and other saints. They discuss embracing one's unique calling and living boldly for Christ, despite life's challenges. John encourages listeners to strive for a deeper spiritual connection and look beyond the mundane. Don't miss out on these incredible journeys and how they can transform your faith.

Made To Stand Out

Today it’s fashionable to separate the Church from society.  We claim that the legitimate separation of Church from state means that the state should proceed without any influence from the Church.  The Church, however, has a different opinion.  How are we to evaluate of the Catholic Church’s contribution to our society?  What impact can the world really expect from the Christian message?  What’s the value of the culture that we’re proposing?  All these question are central to the discussion about how Jesus raises us up to lead our culture today.

Joyful Ever After with Damon Owens

The ability to cast an effective vision is much more than coming up with great ideas.  Ideas require planning in order to be effective and planning requires choice and focus.  But as we all know our choice and focus can sometimes be wrong.  That’s because strategy itself depends upon our awareness.  Being alert, being aware, and being attentive is the secret for making great plans.  Let’s take a look at how this dovetails with our faith to help us lead everywhere in our lives.

From intimacy and past wounds to faith, finances, and family culture, this episode uncovers the silent assumptions that quietly sabotage relationships.

The Exact Questions No One Asks Before Marriage (But Everyone Should)

As Lent begins, Deacon Bob and Father Dave turn to the Gospel of Luke and the image of Jesus being led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit. From fasting and temptation to spiritual dryness and surrender, the hosts reflect on how the desert becomes a sacred space of encounter and transformation. 
This week’s episode moves from the spiritual to the political, as Father Dave shares his experience at the Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., and the launch of Franciscan’s Homeland Mission Program. Then, shifting gears, the episode dives into the controversial press conference between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, with reflections on humility, diplomacy, justice, and how Catholics can engage a divided political world without losing heart. 
Sprinkled in—as always—are the laughs: a breakdown of the NFL’s “tush push,” Cavaliers comebacks, the rise of phone booth boxing, and a surprising story about wrestling in a former church. 
As Lent invites us deeper into prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, this episode ends with a moving reflection on the Gospel and a reminder that even in our own deserts, the Spirit leads and God is present. 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Fasting, Cheeseburgers, and the Age of Exemption  
Father Dave reflects humorously on turning 60 and technically being <a href='https://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/liturgical-year-and-calendar/lent/catholic-information-on-lenten-fast-and-abstinence'>exempt from fasting</a>—though he still chooses to fast as a spiritual discipline. Deacon Bob playfully insists that doing what you don’t have to do is what makes it truly holy. 
(01:57) NFL Tush Push, Cavaliers Comebacks, and Sports Surprises  
The hosts dive into the NFL's controversial "<a href='https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/what-is-the-tush-push-how-eagles-execute-the-play-why-they-run-it-so-well-and-how-other-teams-fare/'>tush push</a>" play and debate whether it should be banned. They also celebrate the <a href='https://www.nba.com/cavaliers/'>Cleveland Cavaliers’</a> incredible comeback wins and share thoughts on how grit and teamwork shape great sports moments. 
(04:44) Phone Booth Boxing and Wrestling in Church?  
From <a href='https://sidekickboxing.co.uk/what-is-phone-booth-boxing/'>Romania’s newest combat sport</a> to a church-turned-MMA arena, the episode takes an absurd but entertaining detour. The discussion sparks deeper questions about sacred spaces and cultural trends that blur the lines between worship and spectacle. 
(06:10) Evangelization on the Road: Faith-Filled Uber Rides  
Bob and Father Dave share stories of surprising spiritual conversations with Uber drivers that opened doors to talk about faith, suffering, and the Trinity. These everyday moments reveal how simple encounters can become <a href='https://www.usccb.org/committees/evangelization-catechesis/evangelization'>grace-filled opportunities for evangelization</a>. 
(08:10) Franciscan in D.C.: Homeland Mission and Catholic Prayer Breakfast  
Father Dave describes the launch of <a href='https://franciscan.edu/homeland-mission/'>Franciscan’s Homeland Mission Program</a>, aimed at giving students faith-integrated experiences in public service. He also recounts the beauty and depth of the <a href='https://catholicprayerbreakfast.com/'>Catholic Prayer Breakfast</a>, including his encounter with JD Vance and a moving moment of public prayer. 
(11:29) Zelensky, Trump, and a Press Conference That Shook D.C.  
In one of the most talked-about political moments of the week, the hosts break down the <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajxSWocbye8'>tense exchange between Zelensky, Trump, and JD Vance</a>. The conversation opens up complex questions about justice, diplomacy, war, and how Catholics can engage with humility and integrity. 
(28:42) Into the Desert: Jesus’ Temptation and Our Lenten Journey  
Drawing from <a href='https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/4'>Luke 4</a>, the hosts reflect on Jesus’ hunger, vulnerability, and spiritual strength in the desert. They invite listeners to embrace Lent not as a burden, but as an opportunity to be led by the Spirit into a place of deeper encounter with God.

166: Will money make me happy? W/ Fr. Ryan Mann (part 2)

On the contrary, It is written (Matthew 25:46): "These," namely the wicked, "shall go into everlasting punishment." Further, as reward is to merit, so is punishment to guilt. Now, according to Divine justice, an eternal reward is due to temporal merit: "Every one who seeth the Son and believeth in Him hath [Vulgate: 'that everyone . . . may have'] life everlasting." Therefore according to Divine justice an everlasting punishment is due to temporal guilt. Further, according to the Philosopher (Ethic. v, 5), punishment is meted according to the dignity of the person sinned against, so that a person who strikes one in authority receives a greater punishment than one who strikes anyone else. Now whoever sins mortally sins against God, Whose commandments he breaks, and Whose honor he gives another, by placing his end in some one other than God. But God's majesty is infinite. Therefore whoever sins mortally deserves infinite punishment; and consequently it seems just that for a mortal sin a man should be punished for ever. I answer that, Since punishment is measured in two ways, namely according to the degree of its severity, and according to its length of time, the measure of punishment corresponds to the measure of fault, as regards the degree of severity, so that the more grievously a person sins the more grievously is he punished: "As much as she hath glorified herself and lived in delicacies, so much torment and sorrow give ye to her" (Apocalypse 18:7). The duration of the punishment does not, however, correspond with the duration of the fault, as Augustine says (De Civ. Dei xxi, 11), for adultery which is committed in a short space of time is not punished with a momentary penalty even according to human laws [Cf. I-II, 87, 3, ad 1]. But the duration of punishment regards the disposition of the sinner: for sometimes a person who commits an offense in a city is rendered by his very offense worthy of being cut off entirely from the fellowship of the citizens, either by perpetual exile or even by death: whereas sometimes he is not rendered worthy of being cut off entirely from the fellowship of the citizens. wherefore in order that he may become a fitting member of the State, his punishment is prolonged or curtailed, according as is expedient for his amendment, so that he may live in the city in a becoming and peaceful manner. So too, according to Divine justice, sin renders a person worthy to be altogether cut off from the fellowship of God's city, and this is the effect of every sin committed against charity, which is the bond uniting this same city together. Consequently, for mortal sin which is contrary to charity a person is expelled for ever from the fellowship of the saints and condemned to everlasting punishment, because as Augustine says (De Civ. Dei xxi, 11), "as men are cut off from this perishable city by the penalty of the first death, so are they excluded from that imperishable city by the punishment of the second death." That the punishment inflicted by the earthly state is not deemed everlasting is accidental, either because man endures not for ever, or because the state itself comes to an end. Wherefore if man lived for ever, the punishment of exile or slavery, which is pronounced by human law, would remain in him for ever. On the other hand, as regards those who sin in such a way as not to deserve to be entirely cut off from the fellowship of the saints, such as those who sin venially, their punishment will be so much the shorter or longer according as they are more or less fit to be cleansed, through sin clinging to them more or less: this is observed in the punishments of this world and of purgatory according to Divine justice. We find also other reasons given by the saints why some are justly condemned to everlasting punishment for a temporal sin. One is because they sinned against an eternal good by despising eternal life. This is mentioned by Augustine (De Civ. Dei. xii, 12): "He is become worthy of eternal evil, who destroyed in himself a good which could be eternal." Another reason is because man sinned in his own eternity [Cf. I-II, 87, 3, ad 1]; wherefore Gregory says (Dial. iv), it belongs to the great justice of the judge that those should never cease to be punished, who in this life never ceased to desire sin. And if it be objected that some who sin mortally propose to amend their life at some time, and that these accordingly are seemingly not deserving of eternal punishment, it must be replied according to some that Gregory speaks of the will that is made manifest by the deed. For he who falls into mortal sin of his own will puts himself in a state whence he cannot be rescued, except God help him: wherefore from the very fact that he is willing to sin, he is willing to remain in sin for ever. For man is "a wind that goeth," namely to sin, "and returneth not by his own power" (Psalm 77:39). Thus if a man were to throw himself into a pit whence he could not get out without help, one might say that he wished to remain there for ever, whatever else he may have thought himself. Another and a better answer is that from the very fact that he commits a mortal sin, he places his end in a creature; and since the whole of life is directed to its end, it follows that for this very reason he directs the whole of his life to that sin, and is willing to remain in sin forever, if he could do so with impunity. This is what Gregory says on Job 41:23, "He shall esteem the deep as growing old" (Moral. xxxiv): "The wicked only put an end to sinning because their life came to an end: they would indeed have wished to live for ever, that they might continue in sin for ever for they desire rather to sin than to live." Still another reason may be given why the punishment of mortal sin is eternal: because thereby one offends God Who is infinite. Wherefore since punishment cannot be infinite in intensity, because the creature is incapable of an infinite quality, it must needs be infinite at least in duration. And again there is a fourth reason for the same: because guilt remains for ever, since it cannot be remitted without grace, and men cannot receive grace after death; nor should punishment cease so long as guilt remains. --- 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.

- Responding to workplace irritations as chances to grow in sanctity.
- Understanding work's higher purpose and aligning it with God's plan.
- Embracing total abandonment to God's will in our professional lives.
- The impact of complaining about work and how it might contradict our faith.

- Insights from St. Elizabeth Ann Seton on viewing work as a gift—not a burden but a means to enrich others' lives.

Will Work For Sanctity

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 . . .

Attachment Theory & Practical Parenting Strategies w/ Deborah MacNamara

Happy New Year! At least that's what we all want it to be. Many of us, though, fail in our resolutions and quit before we even get started. Ever wonder why? We listen to the wrong voice, that's why. The one that shows up to convict you of your mistakes and throws your past failures in your face. That voice is the voice of the Evil One. So how do we move past it and start moving forward? By "forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead." ( Phil 3:13) Listen in this week as John and Victor turn to St. Paul, St Augustine, and Our Lord Jesus Christ for their advice on how to live in the present and look forward to the new year with hope. 

In this episode, John and Victor discuss:

- Spiritual Warfare
- Listening to the right voice
 - What St. Paul, St Augustine, and Jesus have to say about the New Year
- 4 steps to take to win the battle and move forward with courage in your resolutions

Another Break-Up Song

Thanks for listening! Here's the text I read from the Summa II-II, Q.2 (articles 1,2, and 3). I answer that, "To think" can be taken in three ways. First, in a general way for any kind of actual consideration of the intellect, as Augustine observes (De Trin. xiv, 7): "By understanding I mean now the faculty whereby we understand when thinking." Secondly, "to think" is more strictly taken for that consideration of the intellect, which is accompanied by some kind of inquiry, and which precedes the intellect's arrival at the stage of perfection that comes with the certitude of sight. On this sense Augustine says (De Trin. xv, 16) that "the Son of God is not called the Thought, but the Word of God. When our thought realizes what we know and takes form therefrom, it becomes our word. Hence the Word of God must be understood without any thinking on the part of God, for there is nothing there that can take form, or be unformed." In this way thought is, properly speaking, the movement of the mind while yet deliberating, and not yet perfected by the clear sight of truth. Since, however, such a movement of the mind may be one of deliberation either about universal notions, which belongs to the intellectual faculty, or about particular matters, which belongs to the sensitive part, hence it is that "to think" is taken secondly for an act of the deliberating intellect, and thirdly for an act of the cogitative power. Accordingly, if "to think" be understood broadly according to the first sense, then "to think with assent," does not express completely what is meant by "to believe": since, in this way, a man thinks with assent even when he considers what he knows by science [Science is certain knowledge of a demonstrated conclusion through its demonstration.], or understands. If, on the other hand, "to think" be understood in the second way, then this expresses completely the nature of the act of believing. For among the acts belonging to the intellect, some have a firm assent without any such kind of thinking, as when a man considers the things that he knows by science, or understands, for this consideration is already formed. But some acts of the intellect have unformed thought devoid of a firm assent, whether they incline to neither side, as in one who "doubts"; or incline to one side rather than the other, but on account of some slight motive, as in one who "suspects"; or incline to one side yet with fear of the other, as in one who "opines." But this act "to believe," cleaves firmly to one side, in which respect belief has something in common with science and understanding; yet its knowledge does not attain the perfection of clear sight, wherein it agrees with doubt, suspicion and opinion. Hence it is proper to the believer to think with assent: so that the act of believing is distinguished from all the other acts of the intellect, which are about the true or the false. (Article 1) I answer that, The act of any power or habit depends on the relation of that power or habit to its object. Now the object of faith can be considered in three ways. For, since "to believe" is an act of the intellect, in so far as the will moves it to assent, as stated above (Article 1, Reply to Objection 3), the object of faith can be considered either on the part of the intellect, or on the part of the will that moves the intellect. If it be considered on the part of the intellect, then two things can be observed in the object of faith, as stated above (II-II:1:1). One of these is the material object of faith, and in this way an act of faith is "to believe in a God"; because, as stated above (II-II:1:1) nothing is proposed to our belief, except in as much as it is referred to God. The other is the formal aspect of the object, for it is the medium on account of which we assent to such and such a point of faith; and thus an act of faith is "to believe God," since, as stated above (II-II:1:1) the formal object of faith is the First Truth, to Which man gives his adhesion, so as to assent to Its sake to whatever he believes. Thirdly, if the object of faith be considered in so far as the intellect is moved by the will, an act of faith is "to believe in God." For the First Truth is referred to the will, through having the aspect of an end. (Article 2) I answer that, Wherever one nature is subordinate to another, we find that two things concur towards the perfection of the lower nature, one of which is in respect of that nature's proper movement, while the other is in respect of the movement of the higher nature. Thus water by its proper movement moves towards the centre (of the earth), while according to the movement of the moon, it moves round the centre by ebb and flow. On like manner the planets have their proper movements from west to east, while in accordance with the movement of the first heaven, they have a movement from east to west. Now the created rational nature alone is immediately subordinate to God, since other creatures do not attain to the universal, but only to something particular, while they partake of the Divine goodness either in "being" only, as inanimate things, or also in "living," and in "knowing singulars," as plants and animals; whereas the rational nature, in as much as it apprehends the universal notion of good and being, is immediately related to the universal principle of being. Consequently the perfection of the rational creature consists not only in what belongs to it in respect of its nature, but also in that which it acquires through a supernatural participation of Divine goodness. Hence it was said above (I-II:3:8) that man's ultimate happiness consists in a supernatural vision of God: to which vision man cannot attain unless he be taught by God, according to John 6:45: "Every one that hath heard of the Father and hath learned cometh to Me." Now man acquires a share of this learning, not indeed all at once, but by little and little, according to the mode of his nature: and every one who learns thus must needs believe, in order that he may acquire science in a perfect degree; thus also the Philosopher remarks (De Soph. Elench. i, 2) that "it behooves a learner to believe." Hence in order that a man arrive at the perfect vision of heavenly happiness, he must first of all believe God, as a disciple believes the master who is teaching him.

158: Aquinas on the act of faith

Today is the second in a two part series on the incarnation I recorded with Fr. Gregory Pine. If you haven't heard the first episode, maybe go and do that first. Not telling you what to do. Just a suggestion. But if you don't do it you're a bad person. --- Here's what we read today: So also was this useful for our "withdrawal from evil." First, because man is taught by it not to prefer the devil to himself, nor to honor him who is the author of sin; hence Augustine says (De Trin. xiii, 17): "Since human nature is so united to God as to become one person, let not these proud spirits dare to prefer themselves to man, because they have no bodies." Secondly, because we are thereby taught how great is man's dignity, lest we should sully it with sin; hence Augustine says (De Vera Relig. xvi): "God has proved to us how high a place human nature holds amongst creatures, inasmuch as He appeared to men as a true man." And Pope Leo says in a sermon on the Nativity (xxi): "Learn, O Christian, thy worth; and being made a partner of the Divine nature, refuse to return by evil deeds to your former worthlessness." Thirdly, because, "in order to do away with man's presumption, the grace of God is commended in Jesus Christ, though no merits of ours went before," as Augustine says (De Trin. xiii, 17). Fourthly, because "man's pride, which is the greatest stumbling-block to our clinging to God, can be convinced and cured by humility so great," as Augustine says in the same place. Fifthly, in order to free man from the thraldom of sin, which, as Augustine says (De Trin. xiii, 13), "ought to be done in such a way that the devil should be overcome by the justice of the man Jesus Christ," and this was done by Christ satisfying for us. Now a mere man could not have satisfied for the whole human race, and God was not bound to satisfy; hence it behooved Jesus Christ to be both God and man. Hence Pope Leo says in the same sermon: "Weakness is assumed by strength, lowliness by majesty, mortality by eternity, in order that one and the same Mediator of God and men might die in one and rise in the other—for this was our fitting remedy. Unless He was God, He would not have brought a remedy; and unless He was man, He would not have set an example." And there are very many other advantages which accrued, above man's apprehension.

Who are men listening to in 2025?

Join us in the pew this week for a conversation with longtime friend and guest Pete Burak, Vice President of Renewal Ministries.

So many young men who desire discipleship are drawn to online influencers because they are validating that desire with a distorted version of masculinity. What they’re really longing for is the radical call of Jesus—the only One who can truly transform a man’s heart. Following Jesus means going all in. It means rejecting a lukewarm heart and letting Him radically transform your life as a man of God.

Masculinity isn’t toxic. It’s holy—when Jesus is at the center.

Authentic Masculinity with Pete Burak

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 becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic FatherToday we witness how Jesus sets the example for humble service by washing the feet of the Apostles.We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to  grow in the Virtue of Observance so he can honor and respect the priesthood and priests We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to build the Virtue of Humility so he can battle against pride and better imitate Christ.

Episode 61 -Jesus sets the example for humble service by washing the feet of the Apostles at the Last Supper - Thursday April 6, 2022 - Jn 13-1-15 - 3_4_23, 3.02 PM

No Vacation From God
Father Mariusz Sztuk, another of the original members of the Riders, shares his impressions about how, when on a vacation our faith can be manifest in ways that may be outside of our normal. The riders have always been grateful to have a priest with them on their trips to be able to offer the sacraments to them. While traveling, besides their daily Mass, the men try to demonstrate their faith in public to others around them to hopefully engage with them. Father talks about how even just making the sign of the cross and praying grace at meal times in restaurants can be a witness to faith and may open doors for others who are searching.

Wisdom from the Road with Fr Mariusz

Our Lord doesn’t call leaders to lead just in their businesses.  He calls them to lead in their families as well.  And in fact, it is especially in the family that the depths of who we are are tested and tried and where our leadership most intimately links us to our God.  It was no different for King David as he confronted the real struggles in his family. He also had to find his own peace with God.

DGT Episode 110 - A King's Heartbreak - A Retreat With King David Part 4

On today’s podcast, we’re talking to one of the country’s most exciting Catholic evangelists and authors, Sonja Corbitt. Founder of Bible Study Evangelista, Sonja transformed her life and overcame anger through daily scripture readings and prayer. Now she teaches others how to unlock the beauty of The Word in their own lives!

A natural storyteller and convert to Catholicism, Corbitt shows listeners how daily Bible readings can draw them closer to God, break patterns of sin and bring a sense of control back into their lives.

In this episode, we learn that:
- Daily readings from the lectionary are the Holy Spirit’s voice to the whole Church.
- Mary, Mother of the Church, teaches us how to pray.
- Scripture study helps readers unlock a sacred and personal dialogue with God.

S2- Case #19- Maid For More, PT 2

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles welcome <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr4kgAUTFkGIwlWSodg43QA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Michael Knowles</a>, conservative commentator and host of The Michael Knowles Show, to discuss the critical role of language in shaping truth, culture, and faith. Drawing from philosophy, theology, and literature, Knowles explores how the corruption of language distorts our perception of reality, the dangers of slogans and propaganda, and the rebellious power of silence in a distracted world. From Dante’s view of fraud to the importance of interpreting the “signs of the times,” this episode is a thought-provoking call to reclaim language for truth and virtue.Key Discussion Points:<ul><li>Language as a Lens for Truth: Knowles explains that language is not a neutral tool but shapes how we perceive the world. Misusing it, such as through euphemisms like “undocumented American” instead of “illegal alien,” can obscure truth and manipulate thought.</li><li>Euphemisms and Lies: While polite euphemisms (e.g., “woman of a certain age”) can be charitable, dishonest ones cross into lying, undermining civil discourse and societal standards.</li><li>The Battle of Standards: The real fight isn’t between free speech and censorship but between competing norms. Knowles critiques free speech absolutism, advocating for standards that reject obscenity and fraud in the public square.</li><li>Philosophy and Language Degradation: Drawing on Josef Pieper, Knowles notes that denying objective truth turns language into a tool for manipulation, eroding reasoned debate and civil society.</li><li>The Power of Silence: In a world of constant noise, silence is a rebellious act that allows us to hear God’s voice and interpret the “signs of the times,” as Christ urges.</li><li>Dante and Fraud: Knowles connects Deacon Harrison Garlick’s idea of lying as “contraceptive speech” to Dante’s Inferno, where fraud, especially betrayal, is among the gravest sins, as it perverts language’s purpose of conveying truth.</li><li>Christian Task of Interpretation: Knowles emphasizes that Christians are called not to “do” but to interpret the world’s meaning, aligning actions with truth rather than reconstructing it.</li></ul> Resources:<ul><li>The Catholic Woodworker – Discover heirloom-quality rosaries, including the “Saint Michael the Defender” rosary gifted to Michael Knowles.</li><li>Check out The Michael Knowles Show on your favorite podcast platform or at dailywire.com.</li><li>Explore Josef Pieper’s works on language and truth, such as Abuse of Language, Abuse of Power.</li><li>Learn more about Dante’s Inferno for insights into the moral weight of fraud and betrayal.</li></ul>

Michael Knowles - The Power of Language: Truth, Euphemisms, and Silence in a Noisy World

Are you struggling with emotional wounds, shame, anxiety, or spiritual dryness?&nbsp; In this episode of A Reason for Hope Podcast, Mario Costabile sits down with Dr. Bob Schuchts—founder of the John Paul II Healing Center and author of Be Healed—who shares how true healing comes through a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. Many faithful Christians love God but still feel stuck in patterns of fear, unforgiveness, trauma, or broken relationships. In this episode, we explore the roots of spiritual and emotional wounds, why forgiveness is essential to healing, and how unhealed pain can affect our relationship with God. Bob also shares insights from the recent John Paul II Healing Center retreat and offers practical steps to invite Jesus into your wounds. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re not experiencing the healing you pray for, or if healing is even possible for you, this conversation will remind you that Jesus is not just a teacher—He is a healer. No wound is beyond His mercy. No heart is beyond restoration. 🙏 Subscribe for more Catholic content on healing, faith, spiritual growth, and encountering Christ. -Support our Sponsors-<a href="https://bit.ly/4pd2t9B" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Magnifier</a>&nbsp;- An exciting new magazine to awaken wonder in children ages 7–12. -Support Our Mission-<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/donate" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Donate Here</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Book an Event</a> -Follow Us On Social Media-Facebook:&nbsp;<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast</a>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast</a>YouTube:&nbsp;<a href="https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast</a>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&nbsp;https://www.tiktok.com/@r4hpodcast</a> -Follow Dr. Bob Schuchts -Website - <a href="https://jpiihealingcenter.org/" target="_blank">https://jpiihealingcenter.org/</a>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jpiihealingcenter/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/jpiihealingcenter/</a>Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JP2HealingCenter" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/JP2HealingCenter</a>X - <a href="https://x.com/JPIIHealing" target="_blank">https://x.com/JPIIHealing</a>YouTube - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@JPIIHealingCenter" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@JPIIHealingCenter</a>Podcast - <a href="https://www.restoretheglorypodcast.com/" target="_blank">https://www.restoretheglorypodcast.com/</a> ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction 01:31 Start of Interview 02:43 What gravitated you toward Healing in the Church? 03:59 Healing The Whole Person 05:16 How is Healing Connected to our Salvation? 07:58 How do we help those in our lives to acknowledge the need for healing?13:01 Having compassion toward those who hurt us 16:43 The Limitations of Therapy Without God 24:26 The importance of identifying the roots of our wounds 28:18 The Importance of Forgiveness in Healing31:31 What is a Spiritual Stronghold?34:21 Demonic Strongholds and Lies36:49 Ways to strenghten ourselves in healing 42:30 Jesus as our Healer44:49 The Invitation to Return to God's Love46:42 What Bob is Up To Next

On Becoming Fathers

Objection 1. It seems that God does not exist; because if one of two contraries be infinite, the other would be altogether destroyed. But the word "God" means that He is infinite goodness. If, therefore, God existed, there would be no evil discoverable; but there is evil in the world. Therefore God does not exist. Reply to Objection 1. As Augustine says (Enchiridion xi): "Since God is the highest good, He would not allow any evil to exist in His works, unless His omnipotence and goodness were such as to bring good even out of evil." This is part of the infinite goodness of God, that He should allow evil to exist, and out of it produce good.

13: Does evil disprove the existence of God?

As Chief Operating Officer for Young Catholic Professionals (YCP), Peter Blute manages national and chapter operations, expansion efforts, brand and marketing efforts, and volunteer support. He received his Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Dallas and then spent two years working in Rome and traveling across Europe as a staff member on UD’s study-abroad campus. After returning to Dallas, he worked in marketing and sales efforts prior to joining the YCP apostolate in 2014 as the non-profit’s second full-time employee.Fair warning – this show is off the rails when it comes to humor, according to the number of times the BeatiDudes “lose it” in laughter. Peter and his wife are expecting the birth of their third child later this year which leads to an interesting conversation about the best way to explain children in utero. This turns into an entire deep dive about kids, names, parenting, and a wild ride of generational references. The BeatiDudes have to pull another hard right turn to get back on track with a game of Blessed are the Joke Makers. As a cult leader, the Dudes must answer the question, “I saw visions of [blank] after [blank]." After the break, the Dudes dive into more about the purpose and impact of the Young Catholic Professionals. This fast-growing group helps young adults to recognize and remember that every moment of work can be an act of holiness and prayer. To date, YCP has expanded to 33 cities and will be in 50+ cities by the end of 2024. For today’s TBD Question, Peter and the Dudes address the question, “Tell us about one of your business heroes.” Episode references:Books – <a href="https://amzn.to/3Pkm7l7">Everybody Matters </a>by Bob Chapman, <a href="https://amzn.to/3NcNyKY">Steve Jobs</a> by Walter Isaacson<a href="https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a29871607/tom-junod-mister-rogers-a-beautiful-day-in-the-neighborhood-true-story/">Esquire article about Mr. Rogers</a>The show concludes with a special Reverse Simpsons called What’s the Opposite of a Chicken Wing?<h2>Follow YCP</h2><a href="https://www.youngcatholicprofessionals.org/">Young Catholic Professionals</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a>http://www.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 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>

Ever Been MUTTON Busting?  | Peter Blute from Young Catholic Professionals, YCP | Episode #025

We all know that leaders are responsible for getting things done, leading their organizations to be productive, but sometimes we forget that leadership also sometimes has a softer side and that a leader is just as responsible for the moral climate of his organization as he is for its efficiency.  In St. Paul’s letter to Titus, Chapter 2, St. Paul outlines his vision for the leader as the guardian of excellence.  And what he wrote Titus then still holds true for us today.

A Dram with Peter Thompson

Sean welcomes the first woman into the pub for this engaging discussion about how men and women are called to support and encourage each other using the unique gifts God has endowed upon all of us. &nbsp;Kelly Walquist is co-founder with Jeff Cavins of the Archbishop Flynn Catechetical Institute with the mission to further students’ spiritual formation and deepen understanding of the Catholic Faith to be better missionaries and disciples in the world. &nbsp;Kelly is also the founder of WINE (Women In the New Evangelization). Women are encouraged to complement each other in their own gifts, then expand to encouraging others including, and especially, men in the church.
Kelly shares how one particular invitation to join a bible study changed her life. She encourages us to never underestimate what one invitation can do in the lives of others. Kelly also works with Jeff in delivering lectures based on The Activated Disciple, a study program that helps lay the foundation for being bold in the faith and bringing it to the world.

Case #06 - A Taste of Honey - Pt. 2

About a month ago, there was a very interesting blog released from the truly excellent Catholic ministry The Young Catholic Woman. This blog was titled Why I unfollowed you: An open letter to Catholic influencers. Knowing that I, myself, have had a number of frustrations with popular catholics on social media and in the big time catholic speaker circle, you can assume that I was eager to read what the author had to say. 
She broke down her reasons for unfollowing into three main categories. One I wholeheartedly agreed with, one I mostly disagreed with, and one was about 50/50. In today's episode, I break down her three reasons and share my thoughts on each of them. 

Disclaimer:  I have a great deal of respect and appreciation for the work that is done at The Young Catholic Woman. I also have no hard feelings toward the author of the blog, since I have never interacted with her in any way. I would have gladly posted this same blog on my own website, because I agree with many points that it makes and believe we have to be open to tolerating things that we may disagree with, so long as they don't lead people away from the Church or the Truth.
