Ep 243 | Lauren Castillo | From Unplanned Pregnancy to Pro-Life Legend

Jason Shanks doesn&rsquo;t just talk about transformation&mdash;he lived it. After a near-death experience with COVID-19, Shanks discovered the absolute necessity of divine intimacy with God. As a convert to Catholicism, he learned firsthand how the Holy Spirit pulls people into faith, showing that real connection with God is about relationship, not just ritual.
His battle with COVID-19 wasn&rsquo;t just physical; it was spiritual warfare. Prayer and the intercession of his community were game-changers in his recovery. Shanks dives deep into what intimacy with God really means, comparing it to the covenant of marriage and the Eucharist.&nbsp;
He challenges men to strip away the distractions of the world, embrace vulnerability, and fight for their spiritual lives. This is about building authentic relationships with God and each other&mdash;no shortcuts, no compromises.

How To Transform Your Life in 2026

Lent is not about empty rituals or merely giving up chocolate—it’s about walking with Jesus in the desert, facing temptation, and deepening intimacy with God. Fr. Larry Richards warns against approaching Lent as a self-improvement project or just another routine. Instead, he calls men to listen to what God wants for their Lent, rather than deciding for themselves. Fr. Larry highlights three essential Lenten practices: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Prayer should be more than just reciting words—it should foster a deep relationship with God, ideally through Scripture. Fasting is not about self-focus but about emptying ourselves so God can fill us. Almsgiving reminds us to care for others, as Jesus commands.Ultimately, true transformation happens when we put God first, others second, and ourselves last—embracing the Lenten journey as a path to becoming great men of God.ABOUT FR LARRYFr. Larry Richards is a dynamic Catholic speaker, author, preacher, and retreat master known for his passionate and authentic approach to evangelization. A pastor, counselor, and evangelist, he has led thousands of retreats, parish missions, and conferences, impacting millions worldwide.Ordained in 1989 for the Diocese of Erie, he holds degrees in mental health and divinity and has studied liturgy at Notre Dame.

Purify Your Investments with Daniel Catone (Founder/CEO of Arimathea Investing)

Andy Churray’s tattooed arms are an outward symbol of the interior reality of his faith walk. Together with the fake tattoo sleeves worn by The BeatiDudes, Andy shares some of his favorite tattoos and the original stories for several of his faith-focused ink. Andy is the interim Executive Director for Vagabond Missions. As Jesus was a vagabond during his earthly ministry, wandering to the margins of society to bring home the wanderers, Vagabond missionaries follow his example and bring the Good News to those the world ignores. Vagabond missionaries build friendships with and serve teens in urban and inner-city communities through weekly programs, outreach, and personal mentorship.When Bob and Kate Lesnefsky took their first positions in youth ministry at a parish in Schenectady, NY, they were surprised to find an inner-city community. They were even more surprised at how much fulfillment they found in bringing the Gospel to those on the margins. After four years in New York, Bob took what he believed at the time was the “dream” youth ministry job at a wealthy parish in Texas, but it only took a few months for him and Kate to realize that God was calling them back to the inner city.Teens in the inner city face a cycle of neglect, violence, and broken family life. This destructive environment has dire consequences for them and society. Vagabond Missions intervenes during this time of crisis by inviting them into a relationship with God and others. Through outreach and mentorship, teens experience hope for their lives and a place to call home. When teens tangibly experience Jesus, their lives are transformed.Follow <a href="https://vagabondmissions.com/">Vagabond Missions</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

He reflects on the tragedy of Kirk's assassination as a loss not just for politics but for the culture of conversation and civility, lamenting how quickly words have become weapons rather than bridges. Brett calls listeners to remember the kind of leadership Kirk embodied — one marked by relational presence, authenticity, and speaking truth with kindness. Ultimately, the episode invites Christians to use their words and influence to build up truth, beauty, and goodness in imitation of what he saw in Charlie Kirk.

Brett's Thoughts on Charlie Kirk and Introduction to the New Season

Holy Week was never meant to be observed from the sidelines. It was meant to be lived.
The Church, in her wisdom, gives us the opportunity for real participation into the deepest meaning of the life of Jesus Christ. The Church draws us into the very events that changed the world.

Ep 31: A Most Powerful Invitation to Holy Week - Do NOT Miss This!

Every man wants justice when he has been betrayed, humiliated, wounded, or cheated. But what happens when the demand for justice becomes its own prison? Chuck Jansen joins Heroic Men to explain why forgiveness is one of the hardest and most heroic choices a Catholic man can make. Drawing from years of teaching in prisons, churches, and men&rsquo;s groups, Chuck reveals how unresolved pain controls men, why forgiveness is a decision rather than a feeling, and how surrender to the Holy Spirit frees a man from anger without denying evil, abandoning truth, or excusing the offender.

How Catholic Men Forgive Without Becoming Weak - Chuck Jansen

Below is the entire text from Aquinas I wrote, but before that... Thank God for good bishops like Bishop Rick Stika (@BishopStika) and Bishop J. Strickland (@Bishopoftyler). Go follow them and thank them for being faithful sons of the Church. Whether the Church should excommunicate anyone? Objection 1. It would seem that the Church ought not to excommunicate anyone, because excommunication is a kind of curse, and we are forbidden to curse (Romans 12:14). Therefore the Church should not excommunicate. Objection 2. Further, the Church Militant should imitate the Church Triumphant. Now we read in the epistle of Jude (verse 9) that "when Michael the Archangel disputing with the devil contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee." Therefore the Church Militant ought not to judge any man by cursing or excommunicating him. Objection 3. Further, no man should be given into the hands of his enemies, unless there be no hope for him. Now by excommunication a man is given into the hands of Satan, as is clear from 1 Corinthians 5:5. Since then we should never give up hope about anyone in this life, the Church should not excommunicate anyone. On the contrary, The Apostle (1 Corinthians 5:5) ordered a man to be excommunicated. Further, it is written (Matthew 18:17) about the man who refuses to hear the Church: "Let him be to thee as the heathen or publican." But heathens are outside the Church. Therefore they also who refuse to hear the Church, should be banished from the Church by excommunication. I answer that, The judgment of the Church should be conformed to the judgment of God. Now God punishes the sinner in many ways, in order to draw him to good, either by chastising him with stripes, or by leaving him to himself so that being deprived of those helps whereby he was kept out of evil, he may acknowledge his weakness, and humbly return to God Whom he had abandoned in his pride. In both these respects the Church by passing sentence of excommunication imitates the judgment of God. For by severing a man from the communion of the faithful that he may blush with shame, she imitates the judgment whereby God chastises man with stripes; and by depriving him of prayers and other spiritual things, she imitates the judgment of God in leaving man to himself, in order that by humility he may learn to know himself and return to God. Reply to Objection 1. A curse may be pronounced in two ways: first, so that the intention of the one who curses is fixed on the evil which he invokes or pronounces, and cursing in this sense is altogether forbidden. Secondly, so that the evil which a man invokes in cursing is intended for the good of the one who is cursed, and thus cursing is sometimes lawful and salutary: thus a physician makes a sick man undergo pain, by cutting him, for instance, in order to deliver him from his sickness. Reply to Objection 2. The devil cannot be brought to repentance, wherefore the pain of excommunication cannot do him any good. Reply to Objection 3. From the very fact that a man is deprived of the prayers of the Church, he incurs a triple loss, corresponding to the three things which a man acquires through the Church's prayers. For they bring an increase of grace to those who have it, or merit grace for those who have it not; and in this respect the Master of the Sentences says (Sent. iv, D, 18): "The grace of God is taken away by excommunication." They also prove a safeguard of virtue; and in this respect he says that "protection is taken away," not that the excommunicated person is withdrawn altogether from God's providence, but that he is excluded from that protection with which He watches over the children of the Church in a more special way. Moreover, they are useful as a defense against the enemy, and in this respect he says that "the devil receives greater power of assaulting the excommunicated person, both spiritually and corporally." Hence in the early Church, when men had to be enticed to the faith by means of outward signs (thus the gift of the Holy Ghost was shown openly by a visible sign), so too excommunication was evidenced by a person being troubled in his body by the devil. Nor is it unreasonable that one, for whom there is still hope, be given over to the enemy, for he is surrendered, not unto damnation, but unto correction, since the Church has the power to rescue him from the hands of the enemy, whenever he is willing.

Arrested on Holy Thursday: The John Edwards Story 1/2

Cousins Austin Kelly (founder of ChristianChannel.com) and Yenitza Muñoz (bilingual journalist &amp; podcast host) join Deacon in studio to unpack their cinematic Catholic media empire: crowdfunding saint-epics, viral celebrity faith stories, and a burning mission to re-catechize Latinos after the 2020 San Gabriel Mission fire. From mobsters to Mel Gibson, cancer miracles to Cristero saints, this high-energy duo reveals how film, podcasts, and prayer are sparking a Gen-Z Catholic renaissance.<a href="https://www.christianchannel.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.christianchannel.com/</a>

Filming Saints & Saving Souls | Austin Kelly & Yenitza Muñoz

Dr. Ralph Martin is here to discuss his new book "The Coming Judgment," the neglected doctrine of hell, the final judgment, biblical evidence for eternal damnation, objections from universalism, and the church's need to preach these truths more boldly.

Episode 176 - Jesus rises from the dead in the Resurrection and appears to Mary Magdalene and another woman - Saturday March 30, 2024 - Mk 16:1-7

Dave's summer vacation got cut from three months down to two, and Adam has a theory. New baby, plus he hasn't been working near as hard. Dave tried to get a second opinion from Anthony Fauci, who invoked the Fifth on advice of counsel, so we're left with the ruling as it stands. Either way, the new van is getting loaded and the Niles family is headed to a cabin in Michigan for two weeks. Fifties at night, fires in the morning and the evening, which means chopping enough firewood to replace what you burn. Golf, swimming, and a little aluminum fishing boat that Davey gets to ride in. Joseph and Joshua stay on shore. Joseph has a big knot on his head at the moment anyway.Sponsor: <a href="https://amenapp.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amen app</a> (from the Augustine Institute) Sunday morning in a Catholic family is not easy like Sunday morning. It's kids in the van, beat Father down the aisle, get to the pew. The Amen app is how the guys prepare their kids to receive the Gospel before Mass even starts, plus free access to Divine Mercy in My Soul and True Devotion to Mary. Since 2021 it's hit 950,000 downloads. Let's get them to a million. No paywall, no subscription, no upfront cost. Download the Amen app right now.Sponsor: <a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Select International Tours</a> When Adam and Dave went looking for help leading their first pilgrimage, every single person pointed them to Select International Tours. Having used them, the guys can vouch. Wherever in the world you want to go, head to selectinternationaltours.com and see what they have ready.On the drive back from Lady Pamela's family reunion in Arkansas, Dave counted three mopeds inside 45 minutes, which would be unremarkable in Portland and is deeply strange here. A moped gang remains unconfirmed but would be extremely cool. His reading time is going to Plato's Republic with the group at Deacon Harrison's house, book 10 now, while Adam has missed it all year and is on record that he'll haunt them if they kick him out.Dave also saw the new Odyssey movie, alongside Dr. Frank Grabowski, Juan in a dog onesie as Argos, and Deacon Harrison Garlick, who announced in the group text beforehand: "I have filled my heart with hate." Verdict, 7.5 for entertainment. They shouldn't have tried to cram the whole epic into one film, they changed the ending, which you can't do, and they folded the lotus eaters into Calypso's island. That last one guts the most important choice in the story. Odysseus rejects immortality for his family. That's the whole thing.The pour is Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey, the flagship, from a bottle the distiller sent the guys when the show started and that has sat on the shelf about ten years since. The label reads: Warning, contains high levels of manliness. No age statement, and no, ten years in your house doesn't count. Whiskey only ages in the barrel. Small batch, four barleys, virgin charred American white oak. Not bourbon, not 51% corn. Made in the style of Scotch, right here in America.Then the topic: the five precepts of the Church, Catechism 2041, page 548 if you've got the classic 90s edition. This is the Church flexing authority, which she rarely does. Most of what she does is defensive. Papal infallibility is a negative power, not a positive one. The precepts are different. They bind, and they're the floor, not the ceiling.Attend Mass on Sundays and holy days, and rest from servile labor. Everybody knows the first half. The second half is the one that stings, because going out to eat after Mass means you're compelling somebody else to work. Nurses show up, gas stations stay open, and nobody needs to be demolished by guilt over a trip to the store. Don't be a Pharisee about it. Do take it seriously.Confess your sins at least once a year, meaning your mortal sins. Go monthly anyway, and do a daily examination of conscience, because you can't remember what you ate two days ago, much less where you lost your temper 28 days ago. Dave prays to Our Lady on the way in: help me make this confession as if it were my last. Adam leaves his phone outside, because it's listening, and that's not a conspiracy. And if you deliberately hold a mortal sin back, the confession is invalid and you've just added to the pile. Compound interest is powerful. Compound sin is worse.Receive the Eucharist at least during the Easter season. Observe the days of fasting and abstinence, which used to be far heavier, and nothing is stopping you from going heavier now. Adam has never once enjoyed fasting. Dave eats nothing until dinner and swears he thinks more clearly for it. Both of them fast every Wednesday with a group of men and offer it up for their wives and their families. That's the domestic priesthood doing what it's for.And help provide for the needs of the Church. Notice it doesn't say if you can afford it. Money is the easy part. Time is the sacrifice, especially in the seasons of fatherhood when there isn't any. Fr. Brian O'Brien's answer when somebody says the church really ought to do this: "I totally agree. You should do it." Your kids need to see you make some of your time sacred, not because nothing else was asking for it, but because you told everything else no.It all lands on stewardship. You don't owe God 10%. You owe Him 100%. The house, the money, the hours, and most of all the kids were never yours, and He's going to want all of it back. Adam is honest about where that gets hard: leaving work drained, walking in the door, wanting to shut down instead of engage. The fix isn't willpower. It's routine. A liturgy of the home. Because those minutes belong to Him too, and at judgment there won't be a single moment that goes unjudged.One housekeeping note. The Camp Out is always the last weekend of September, so put it on the calendar now. Sign-ups open at the end of August, late on purpose, because opening early means people sign up and don't come, and space is limited. Patrons still come free. This year the guys will be asking for donations on site, because Patreon numbers are down and 100% of what comes in goes straight back into the show. Neither of them takes an income from it.Protect what you were given. Provide more than the minimum. Establish a house that looks like the King is coming back for it. Raise your glass.<h2>TOPICS COVERED</h2><ul><li>Dave's summer vacation demoted from three months to two, with Fauci pleading the Fifth on the science</li><li>Two weeks at a Michigan cabin, chopping firewood to replace what you burn, and a little aluminum fishing boat</li><li>15,000 miles on a brand new van because Oklahoma City is a multiple-times-a-week trip</li><li>Three mopeds in 45 minutes in Arkansas, and the unconfirmed existence of a moped gang</li><li>Reading Plato's Republic with the group at Deacon Harrison's, book 10, and Adam's threat to haunt them if he gets kicked out</li><li>The new Odyssey movie reviewed: Juan in a dog onesie as Argos and Harrison Garlick arriving with his heart pre-filled with hate</li><li>Why folding the lotus eaters into Calypso's island wrecks the most important choice in the story</li><li>Whiskey of the week: Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey, on the shelf ten years, "warning, contains high levels of manliness"</li><li>Why an age statement stops the day it's bottled, because whiskey only ages in the barrel</li><li>What makes Stranahan's American whiskey and not bourbon: four barleys, virgin charred American white oak, made in the style of Scotch</li><li>Bringing back the old show warning, sporadically and without notice</li><li>The five precepts of the Church, Catechism 2041, and why they're the floor and not the ceiling</li><li>Papal infallibility as a negative, defensive power versus the precepts as the Church flexing positive authority</li><li>Why the Church legislates as little as possible and prefers freedom from the law over obedience to it</li><li>Resting from servile labor: the case against going out to eat after Mass, and why nurses and gas stations are fine</li><li>St. John Chrysostom on why you cannot pray at home the way you pray in church</li><li>Confessing mortal sins at least once a year, and why monthly confession is the better habit</li><li>The daily examination of conscience as the thing that makes confession possible at all</li><li>Dave's prayer to Our Lady walking into the confessional: make this confession as if it were my last</li><li>Why Adam leaves his phone outside the confessional</li><li>St. Alphonsus Liguori on concealing sin, and why an intentionally incomplete confession is invalid and grave matter</li><li>The Easter duty and St. Thomas Aquinas on why the Eucharist completes what baptism begins</li><li>Aquinas's threefold purpose of fasting, and why the second reason is the most interesting one</li><li>St. Basil the Great: fasting as a weapon for the valiant and a gymnasium for athletes</li><li>Fasting every Wednesday with a group of men and offering it up for your wife and family</li><li>Providing for the needs of the Church with time, not just money, and Fr.

56.5: Is porn harmful? Matt Fradd vs. Charlottee Rose and Adam Scarborough

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles dive into the topic of spiritual idleness, drawing from Father Frederick Faber’s <a href="https://corjesupress.com/products/growth-in-holiness?srsltid=AfmBOooFtEiqLyWH_oHLA-bXFQEf_-3b35CJSjMc0cjJgRN-NPxAlBUV" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Growth in Holiness: Progress of the Spiritual Life.</a> Recorded around the Fourth of July, the episode begins with a celebration of small-town Americana, from mutton busting at the local rodeo to the ordination of their friend, Father Robert Williams. The hosts then explore seven developments of spiritual idleness—dissipation, sadness, sloth, and more—offering practical insights on how to stay vigilant and prioritize a life oriented toward God. Sipping on Balvenie’s American Oak 12-Year Scotch, Adam and David discuss how modern distractions, like smartphones and excessive communication, fragment our focus and hinder our prayer life, and share strategies for cultivating presence, joy, and intentionality in both spiritual and daily routines.Key Discussion Points:<ul><li>Small-Town Americana: The hosts celebrate the Heart of America rodeo, mutton busting, and the communal prayer and patriotism of small-town events, reflecting on their importance in fostering connection.</li><li>Priestly Ordination: David shares a moving story of his son’s emotional response to Father Robert Williams’ ordination, highlighting the eternal nature of the priesthood and the call to discernment.</li><li>Spiritual Idleness Defined: Drawing from Father Faber’s Growth in Holiness, the hosts unpack seven developments of spiritual idleness: dissipation (misprioritizing tasks), sadness (rooted in self-love), sloth (hatred of existence), useless industry (excessive communication), and general indifference to time.</li><li>Dissipation’s Impact: Putting less important tasks first disrupts the hierarchy of goods, leading to a loss of peace and distractions in prayer, as Faber notes: “He who is diligent will soon be cheerful.”</li><li>Sadness and Self-Love: Sadness, driven by self-improvement rather than God, gives the devil power over the soul, undermining spiritual progress.</li><li>Sloth as a Culmination: Sloth combines dissipation and sadness, fostering a distaste for existence and duties, disrupting the tranquility of order (Aquinas’ definition of peace).</li><li>Useless Industry: Faber’s critique of excessive letter-writing in the 1800s applies to today’s text messaging and social media, which fragment focus and reduce meaningful communication.</li><li>Indifference to Time: Wasting time, especially on addictive platforms like YouTube Shorts, is a “stupid” sin that squanders the precious, irrevocable gift of time, which Faber calls “the stuff out of which eternity is made.”</li><li>Focus and Presence: True focus requires saying “no” to distractions to prioritize God’s will, fostering presence in both daily life and prayer, as exemplified by a man eating lunch under a tree without multitasking.</li><li>Leisure Done Right: Leisure must align with one’s state in life, be tethered to joy, and have a contemplative aspect, avoiding compulsory or utilitarian ends.</li></ul> Notable Quotes from Father Frederick Faber:<ul><li>“Dissipation… consists in putting things off beyond their proper times so that one duty treads upon the heels of another, and all duties are felt as irksome obligations.”</li><li>“He who is diligent will soon be cheerful.”</li><li>“The soul of sadness is self-love… How many are there whose real end in the spiritual life is self-improvement rather than God?”</li><li>“Nothing gives the devil so much power over us [as sadness].”</li><li>“Time is the stuff out of which eternity is made… we shall have to give the strictest account of it at the last.”</li></ul> Resources:<ul><li>Growth in Holiness: Progress of the Spiritual Life by Father Frederick Faber (available from Koreasoo Press).</li><li>Select International Tours – Join Adam and David on their October pilgrimage to Italy or explore other holy sites worldwide.</li><li>Explore St. Hesychios’ writings on watchfulness for insights on vigilance in the spiritual life.</li></ul>

Overcoming Spiritual Idleness: 7 Pitfalls to Avoid for a Focused Catholic Life

Jacob Imam and I are not what is described as "trads" and neither of us attends the Latin Mass on a regular basis, but we LOVE the reverence and beauty of the Latin, or Tridentine, Mass. In light of Pope Francis' "<a href="https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/motu_proprio/documents/20210716-motu-proprio-traditionis-custodes.html">Traditionis Custodes</a>," we flesh out 7 reasons why the Latin Mass is truly extraordinary.

What is a Thomist? w/ Fr. Gregory Pine

It’s the end of an era. After five years, Father Dave and Deacon Bob gather for the very last episode of They That Hope. True to form, the conversation blends laughter, sorrow, and a steady focus on Christ. 
The guys begin with one last round of sports heartbreak (Notre Dame, Broncos, and a Buccaneers game that hasn’t quite happened yet), plus Deacon Bob’s double-dose weekend of Weird Al concerts.  
Then they shift to reflect on the tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk. They wrestle with grief and division, recognizing how fragile life feels, and wonder aloud how silencing faith-filled voices only deepens the darkness. Their reflection reminds listeners that vengeance belongs to the Lord, and that true hope is found in forgiveness, mercy, and the power of the Holy Spirit.  
Finally, they wrap up by sharing heartfelt listener letters, favorite memories from the past five years, and their gratitude for everyone who joined them at the “podcast table.” As they sign off with blessings and thanksgiving, Father Dave and Deacon Bob leave us with the reminder that hope does not disappoint—because the love of God has been poured into our hearts. 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) A Final Episode Begins  
Father Dave and Deacon Bob kick off their last recording with gratitude and laughter. The bittersweet tone is lightened by jokes about Notre Dame football and whether ending the podcast jinxed their favorite teams. It’s a familiar start for a farewell filled with humor and heartfelt reflection. 
(03:47) Weird Al, Walk-On Songs, and Family Fun  
Deacon Bob shares his weekend of back-to-back <a href='https://www.weirdal.com/'>Weird Al concerts</a>, complete with Stormtroopers, “<a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOfZLb33uCg'>Amish Paradise,</a>” and plenty of costume changes. The story turns tender as he recalls memories of singing parodies with his kids, now grown. Father Dave teases along the way, but it’s clear these goofy songs carry a deep family legacy. 
(12:39) Grief and Division After Charlie Kirk’s Shooting  
They then turn to recent news: <a href='https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/charlie-kirk-shooting-investigation-09-16-25'>the shooting of Charlie Kirk.</a> They talk about his willingness to engage in dialogue, how violence eats away at our sense of safety and unity, and how we sometimes silence or dismiss voices that carry hope for fear of disagreement. Despite the pain this brings, they look for grounding in Scripture—especially the call to love even our enemies as part of the Christian witness. 
(22:08) Forgiveness, Mercy, and Real Hope  
Building on the previous reflection, Father Dave and Deacon Bob draw from Deacon Bob’s homily and the testimony of <a href='https://www.immaculee.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoodn8VQBjroxtmL7DiiLvWdGKHuOQYdTcaws2EQ3rXh_ztIJiIF'>Immaculée Ilibagiza</a> to explore what it means to respond in a Christ-like way. In times when the world feels fractured, mercy and forgiveness become the clearest sign of that hope we proclaim. 
(35:44) Listener Letters, Thank-Yous, and Final Blessing  
Fans write in to share how the podcast shaped their faith, lightened their burdens, and even sparked personal transformation. Father Dave and Deacon Bob laugh through memories, thank their families and the Franciscan University team, and offer one last blessing. They end as they began five years ago—reminding us that hope does not disappoint, because God is faithful.

As a man on the front lines of Catholic apologetics, Trent has to lot to share with us about: - How to ask the right questions about someone else's beliefs. - Ways that Catholics and Protestants trip each other up with slogans. - The real purpose of dialogue and common ground. - How NOT to argue for God's existence. - Economics, Communion for pro-abortion politicians, and more. <a href="https://pints.mattfradd.com/pwa-confessions-signup/">Sign up for my free course on St. Augustine's "Confessions"!</a> SPONSORS 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 or Directly: <a href="https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/">https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/ </a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

Apologetics Ninja (Trent Horn) | Ep. 291

Lent comes every year, yet often we struggle to create an effective plan to improve ourselves and refocus on Christ. During Lent, all men's minds should be moved with greater zeal to develop and expand on our spiritual disciplines, but how can we achieve this successfully? For the ways of the world are many and even the best among us lack the constancy to stay straight the course throughout the year in our work to overcome our natural desires and deepen our love for Christ.Today we discuss a great plan to not only improve and become like Christ this Lent, but also a strategy to continue as a new man this Easter and beyond.BOOK: Jesus' Way: The 46-Day Lenten Journey - https://store.catholicgentleman.com/products/jesus-wayToday we get to answer a question for a listener regarding practical tools to stay chaste in our digital world.✅ If you have any questions that we can answer on the show, please, send your questions to us at podcast@catholicgentleman.com.

The Best Action Plan for Lent

A different post than usual. Hope you enjoy. Fr. John Sweeney didn't believe in demons until he answered a call from one of his parishioners to come and bless her home because "the devil was after her" and discovered through the guidance of an old "traddie" priest how evil should be handled when it shows its face.

Paul Rose | Ground Zero of Faith

Episode 195: Roll The Stone Away

“The Glory of God is man fully alive.” How do we know if we are fully alive? Jesus brought Lazarus back to life… He also wants to also call us out of our tombs. Yet, we pause before we roll the stone away. 

In this episode, you will hear John and Victor talk about:

- Why does Jesus weep? 
- He is present in our current sufferings
- We have a loving, fatherly God 
- What does it mean to be a man fully alive?

From Sola Scriptura to Sacred Tradition: A Lutheran’s Journey into Catholic Bioethics

Brett Attebery is back for a BeatiDudes bonus episode.The Dudes start off the show by reflecting on hot yoga, thanks to the extreme after-hours heat in their studio. Then Paul is surprised with a set of BeatiDudes luggage tags that may become future swag for fans.The tone shifts as Brett shares his personal pro-life journey starting with the history he had before finding faith (an admitted ethical pagan) and the mystical experience he had at 38 years old. After that, Brett found his way into the Catholic Church through RCIA, and years later, he realized it was time to deal with the abortion he supported when his girlfriend got pregnant decades earlier. Brett had heard an ad for a <a href="https://www.rachelsvineyard.org/">Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat </a>on Catholic radio and called to see if men were allowed at these port-abortion healing events. At the event, he had everything planned as to what he would say, but then the Holy Spirit took over, and Brett’s life changed forever.In adoration later that day, Brett felt called to name his unborn child - - Jesse. Brett left that retreat a changed man. He went on to start the first pro-life magazine, and in his first issue, he wrote about an organization called Heroic Media. It wasn’t long before Brett was asked to join Heroic Media to run marketing and to keep the magazine going as well. Today Brett is the CEO of Heroic Media and the author of Your Pro-Life Bottom Line. He often reflects on how God works in our brokenness to make something more beautiful than it was before, and his story is certainly an example of this grace.<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://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 Brett and Heroic Media:</h2><a href="https://brettattebery.com/">Brett Attebery's Website</a><a href="https://heroicmedia.org/">Heroic Media</a><a href="https://thrivestlouis.org/">Thrive Express Women's Healthcare</a><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Your-Pro-Life-Bottom-Brett-Attebery/dp/1667825267">Book: Your Pro-Life Bottom Line</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>

My WHY Comes From My Aborted Child, Jesse | Heroic Media President, Brett Attebery | Episode #018

Randy Hain says he had a 50-foot wall around his heart. No faith, no cracks, no way in.

Then his son Alex was diagnosed with autism at 26 months old. And for the first time in his life, something got through.

Randy joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein to tell the full story - the years of feeling empty despite having everything, the wife who walked into a room full of moving boxes and asked him to look at the Catholic Church, the Irish priest who gave them seven books and met with them every Monday for two months, and the Sunday morning at 9am mass where he finally thought the words he'd never thought before: Jesus, I surrender.

He also tells the story of Alex - now 28, living at home, working at Home Depot for 10 years, and reading from Deuteronomy at the 5pm mass every six weeks. And the priest who stopped Randy mid-prayer one day and told him he'd been praying for the wrong thing for years.

This one is different from Monday. Come ready for it.

Accidentally Agreeing with Calvinist TikToks | Dr. John Bergsma | Last Call Ep. 21

It's Another Word of God Wednesday so Deacon Harold prepares us for Sunday's Mass look at the readings for this weekend and ask the question "if you could ask God for 1 thing what would it be and why?"

17th Sunday in OT, Year A

The team priest for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he also played football himself in high school. He was just ordained four years ago and is currently at St. Lawrence in Tampa, Florida. He talks about what his role with the team entails as well as how he juggles that with his responsibilities to his parish. Plus he tells the story of his favorite moment from being on the sidelines.

CSR 16 Fr Chuck Dornquast

Founded on the principles of charity, unity and fraternity, the Knights of Columbus was established in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Conn., and a group of parishioners. Their intent? To bring financial aid and assistance to the sick, disabled and needy members and their families.

To a generation of people in an age of migration and relocation, social media is a gift. It offers opportunities to connect with people no matter how far away you may be. Rigel and Travis have both benefitted since the launch of this podcast by connecting with fellow Catholics on social media.But let’s be honest… it’s not all sunshine and roses with social media. There is a dark side. A very dark side. With Jonathan Haidt’s work in “The Anxious Generation” being one of the most referred to re...

Social Media: Good or Evil?

Mike Neri has a long record of service to the nation, his communities, and corporate and entrepreneurial organizations. A West Point graduate, Mike served in the Army on active duty for 12 years, attaining the rank of Major. He served in duty assignments and positions of leadership in the 1st Cavalry Division, the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, the 10th Combat Support Hospital, and in the Department of the Army Staff in the Pentagon. While on active duty serving in Colorado, Mike earned his MBA from Regis University. Mike transitioned to corporate America in 2004 and began a career in banking &amp; financial services specializing in Fintech and Payments.What defines Mike most is his care, love, and focus on his family. The show starts with a reflection on how Mike and Jeff met in 2005 through the Christ Renews His Parish retreat at St. Thomas Aquinas in East Dallas. This proved to be a formative moment for Mike’s spiritual journey and his connection to authentic Catholic community for himself and his family. Mike goes on to share the journey of his time in the Army and the various stages of his career and work while also raising a family. During his time serving in Washington, DC, Mike worked for a few years in the Pentagon and happened to be onsite during the attacks of September 11, 2001. Mike’s original office was in the direct path of the airplane that struck the Pentagon, and thankfully his office had relocated to the inner ring only months earlier for a renovation. This tragic experience of this event reignited Mike’s faith. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a hypochondriac to address the question, “What should I give up for Lent?” This episode’s TBD question asks Mike and the Dudes to reflect on another major world event that they can recall during their lifetime other than 9/11. For Reverse Simpsons, Jeff takes his co-hosts and Mike through a 3-question round of “Finish these lyrics,” and you are encouraged to play along at home. <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://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</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>

Ep 244 | How to both CHOOSE and PROTECT your attitude

Are supernatural healings happening today? Science can't prove God was the cause of the healing, but it can show something miraculous happened. Dr. Joshua W. Brown is a professor of Psychological and Brain Science at Indiana University, where he directs the Cognitive Control Lab. He also co-founded the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.globalmri.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Global Medical Research Institute</a> which performs peer reviewed research on claims of miraculous healing to support the idea that these things are in fact happening today. Today we dive into the placebo affect, healing in response to prayer, Josh's testimony of being healed of a malignant brain tumor, and his own personal experience contending for healing with others.

Supernatural Healing and The Evidence For Miracles with Dr. Joshua Brown

In this week&#39;s episode of Catholic ReCon, testimonies from reverts and converts, guest Edmund Weiner from Oxford, England discusses a childhood with virtually no religion, reading Chesterton&#39;s Orthodoxy and attending an Anglican church as a teenager, being exposed to charismatic movements and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, struggles in marriage, church scandals, his lovely wife, the beauty of life, JPII, Padre Pio, and much more!

It Took 72 Years: A Catholic Conversion Story

It's a harsh truth: 31% of men at Sunday Mass lack a single close friend. Loneliness isn't just isolating; it's a health disaster, more lethal than alcoholism or smoking. Heroic Men is a movement on a mission to change this. We work to reconnect men with Christ, inspire authentic brotherhood, and bond around relentless spiritual growth. https://heroicmen.org&nbsp;This isn't just about friendships—it's about forging a community where men challenge, sharpen, and hold each other accountable. It's about becoming the best version of themselves and reshaping culture. This is a rallying cry for Catholic men to step up, embrace brotherhood, and transform lives, family, and culture together.

Heroic Men and the Crushing Epidemic of Loneliness among Men

Every year since 1981 a tournament has taken place to promote high school baseball in Hillsborough County (Tampa, Florida area). It was first established as a memorial for Tony Saladino, Sr. and has grown from eleven public schools to now a 32-team event, with 38 players that have participated in the tournament having gone on to play in the Major Leagues, 12 of which were first round draft picks. The guest on this episode of CSR has been at the heart of all of this for all those years and is a lifelong Catholic.

<h2>About our drink:</h2>
Proper Twelve is a triple distilled Irish whiskey that is an ultra-smooth blend of fine grain and single malt with hints of vanilla, honey, and toasted wood.
The founder, Conor McGregor, and his team searched for a place and people that shared the same passion for Ireland and its whiskey. He found this at the oldest whiskey distillery on the Isle of Ireland and with his master distiller created a unique and special blend.

Lessons from a Life in Servant Leadership w/ Dick Vollet

Earlier this year, we hosted Word on Fire's first international Evangelisation & Culture conference in London, at which Bishop Barron gave the keynote address. He focused on four themes of the Bible, examined the themes of creation, the God of Israel, right praise, and kingship. Today, we'll hear the first of those themes as we prepare for how those culminate in the person of Jesus Christ. Enjoy.

WOF 497: Four Culminating Themes of the Bible (Part 1)

There’s a new pope—and he’s an Augustinian!  
In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob discuss the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first member of the Order of St. Augustine to lead the Catholic Church. They explore why St. Augustine’s Confessions remains a spiritual masterpiece and how his vision of community, conversion, and interior prayer speaks to the Church’s call for renewal today. 
Naturally, they go off on many tangents, starting with a chilly trip to Cedar Point, detouring through spelling bee glory and NFL drama, and ending in Poland (via pilgrimage, not roller coaster). And yes, they say “Pope” a lot. Allegedly, it boosts downloads. (Spoiler: It works.) 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) T-Shirts, Field of Dreams, and the Pope Bump  
The episode opens with an early Father’s Day gift: a nostalgic T-shirt featuring <a href='https://www.80stees.com/products/silhouettes-if-you-build-it-he-will-come-field-of-dreams-t-shirt'>Field of Dreams</a>. This sparks a discussion about podcast stats and the surprisingly real “Pope bump,” where there seems to be an uptick in listeners anytime the pope is mentioned in the title. For science, they test it live. 
(03:45) Teacups, Tournaments, and the Cold Ride of Aging  
Deacon Bob recounts a brisk grandkid-filled day at <a href='https://www.cedarpoint.com/'>Cedar Point,</a> while Father Dave recaps the equally chilly <a href='https://www.thememorialtournament.com/'>Memorial Golf Tournament in Dublin, Ohio</a>. Along the way, they correct a <a href='https://www.pgatour.com/player/01869/jack-nicklaus'>Jack Nicklaus</a>/Jack Nicholson mix-up and debate whether roller coasters or golf better reveal our age. 
(10:28) Spelling Bees, Stage Fright, and Childhood Wins  
The <a href='https://spellingbee.com/'>Scripps National Spelling Bee</a> champ nails “éclaircissement,” then collapses with joy. That memory sparks their own stories: Father Dave’s catechism bee victory and Deacon Bob’s state theater auditions. They reflect on the pressure of performing, the resilience it builds, and how these moments shape us. 
(16:11) Pope Leo XIV, St. Augustine, and Why Confessions Still Matters  
The first Augustinian pope opens the door to rich reflections on St. Augustine’s enduring legacy. Father Dave and Deacon Bob spotlight <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Return-Heart-Spirituality-Augustines-Confessions/dp/1645854485'>Return to the Heart</a> by <a href='https://spt.franciscan.edu/faculty/owens-dr-shane/'>Dr. Shane Owens</a>, which unpacks the biblical themes in <a href='https://www.gutenberg.org/files/3296/3296-h/3296-h.htm'>Confessions</a> for today’s reader. Owens also recently joined Father Dave for an episode of <a href='https://faithandreason.com/presents-home/st-augustines-confessions-and-us/'>Franciscan University Presents</a> to discuss how Augustine’s life and writings continue to guide hearts back to Christ. 
(21:05) Pentecost, Pilgrimages, and the Road Ahead  
Pentecost kicks off a summer of spiritual encounters: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/heatherkhym/?hl=en'>Heather Khym</a> leads the first <a href='https://steubenvilleconferences.com/events/glory/'>Glory: A Women’s Gathering, </a>Deacon Bob heads to the <a href='https://www.instagram.com/heatherkhym/?hl=en'>LifeTeen Catholic Youth Ministry Convention,</a> and Father Dave departs for a <a href='https://faithandreason.com/pilgrimage/poland-pilgrimage/'>pilgrimage to Poland</a> to visit sites connected to St. John Paul II, St. Faustina, and St. Maximilian Kolbe. They share the joys of ministry on the move and the fresh hope the Holy Spirit always brings.

Pope, Pope, Pope

You may have heard it said that the Devil's greatest strategy is convincing people that he does not exist. If that's true, then his second best strategy must be convincing people that his weapons do not exist or that they are irrelevant. &nbsp;&nbsp;
Pornography is one of the greatest evils of our time. The addiction rates have increased rapidly over the past two decades as access to pornographic materials has become easier than ever. Kids who aren't even in middle school are being exposed to pornographic material. &nbsp;
&nbsp;Luckiy, we have some incredible people fighting the battle to end our society's addiction to porn. Sean Clifford is the CEO of Canopy, an incredible software company that helps block pornographic material from mobile devices. &nbsp;&nbsp;

<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>

How a Church of Christ Minister Fundamentally Changed Course and Became Catholic

What is Holiness? is a regular question that Deacon is tackling today as well as continuing Soulful Psalm 78

What is Holiness?

<a href='https://franciscan.edu/office-of-the-president/'>Father Dave</a> and <a href='https://spt.franciscan.edu/faculty/rice-robert/'>Deacon Bob</a> are thrilled that <a href='https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/cricket/us-pakistan-cricket-world-cup-historic-upset-rcna155977'>USA beat Pakistan in the World Cup of Cricket</a>, though neither of them know anything about that sport.

Sticky Wicket

What if the biggest threat to your family isn’t outside your home? John Heinen sits down with Andrew Laubacher, musician, speaker, and Executive Director of Humanality, to expose how your smartphone has been reshaping your attention, your memory, and your children’s brains. With billions of dollars behind it, Big Tech wasn’t designed to serve you and your family. It was built to capture your time, shape your habits, and replace real relationships with curated digital ones. In addition to helping you protect your family from these devices, we also discuss how to protect them from your own temptations (distraction, pornography, passivity, and escape).
 
Instead of giving in, Andrew offers a path to reclaim attention, rebuild you and your home’s culture, and start living again. From flip phones and dopamine detoxes to tech-free dinners and digital plans of life, this episode challenges every man to lead his family out of this trap and into reality.
