Olympic Debacles

Philip Ryall is the founder of Harvest Journeys and the second Australian BeatiDudes guest. For over 30 years, Harvest Journeys has been singularly devoted to faith-based travel. They are 100% dedicated to Catholic pilgrimage and providing every traveler with the greatest opportunities to reap the abundant fruit that pilgrimage provides. Every pilgrim group is accompanied by a Catholic who helps to connect the external physical journey with the interior faith journey by providing opportunities for spiritual guidance, scripture, prayer, and reflection at holy sites and access to the Sacraments.As a young man, Philip joined his father on a series of road trips throughout Australia that helped to set his career in motion as he found his love for planning the journey and exploring God’s beauty. He realized over the years that pilgrimage is not just about information, it’s about transformation. Join the show as Philip shares hilarious stories of moments where an Australian concept gets lost in translation for American audiences. He then goes on to share stories of miraculous healing in Lourdes and reconciliation in the Holy Land that are only made possible through the encounter moments of pilgrimage. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a Broadcast News or Sports Anchor to address the prompt, “There will be ______ in eternity.”The Question of the Day is to reflect on your sleep habits and the memories you have of your dreams, or lack thereof. On Reverse Simpsons, Philip presents the Dudes, each with their own Akubra (Australian hats and Aussie tradition). #pilgrimage #Catholic #Beatitude #AussieCatholic #HarvestJourneys Connect with <a href="https://www.harvestjourneys.com/">Harvest Journeys</a><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>

The Infestation (a short story)

Today we’re talking about something we see far too often: living with one foot in the world and one foot in the faith. It’s time to make a choice, to stop hedging our bets, and go all in with Christ.

In this episode, we share our own struggles with lukewarm faith and explore what it means to commit fully to God. We look at examples from Scripture—like Elijah calling out the people on Mount Carmel and David’s heartfelt psalm of trust—to remind us that God doesn’t want a half-hearted relationship. Advent is a time to prepare, reflect, and decide: Will we give our all to Him, or keep clinging to the distractions of the world?

Victor and I are passionate about helping you find the joy, peace, and purpose that only Christ can bring. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who’s ready to stop living a "safe" faith and start living a fulfilled one.

Don’t miss this one, and as always, share it with someone who might need to hear this message. God bless!
