From Radio to Emmy-Winning Films w/ Rob Kaczmark

In a world where men feel alone and friendless, it’s time to kick isolation to the curb. We men are starved for action and identity. But the culture can’t give it to us. It’s time to cut through the noise. To get back to basics.

Deep down, do you feel pointless and worthless? Like the best you can do for the world is sacrifice your life?

Time out. We’re worth infinitely more than that.

In Jesus, we are sons of God our Father. Every man is hounded by God's relentless love. You’re a man. You matter.

Join us live online for a free, 1-hour event hosted by Fr. Larry Richards, and HeroicMen. Let’s be clear: this isn't a feel-good happy hour. This is a kick-in-the-pants to sit up, step up, and claim your God-given identity.

We're going live on Thursday, November 30, at 8:30 pm to get clear on what Sons of the Father means.
This needs to get real, real fast. We’re not kidding when we say lives are at stake: self-harm rates and loneliness are an epidemic among men. It needs to stop. The Heroic Identity: Sons of the Father livestream is the line: This is where we stand. Here is where it ends.

Flip the script, change the game, and get off the sidelines of your own life. It's not about words; it's about action. Inspired by the Catholic faith, this is your call to return to identity as a son of God.

Sons of the Father with Fr Larry Richards

What happens when you say yes to God&hellip; even when it means giving up your own dreams? In this powerful episode of Heroic Stories, Gil Alderete opens up about his unexpected journey from UPS driver to president of Catholic Men's Fellowship of California. Gil shares how God redirected his life, pulling him away from his plans to become a deacon and into building ministry for men across California, Nevada, Hawaii, and beyond.
But Gil&rsquo;s story isn&rsquo;t just about leadership&mdash;it&rsquo;s about healing old wounds, breaking generational cycles, and discovering what real masculinity and faith look like when you surrender. You&rsquo;ll hear how heroic mentors, humble beginnings, and even deep struggles with identity shaped him into the man God called him to be.
If you&rsquo;ve ever felt lost, doubted your calling, or wondered how to find your purpose, Gil&rsquo;s raw, honest journey will remind you: heroism isn&rsquo;t born, it&rsquo;s made.

With a mix of humor and relentless passion, he lights a fire under you to build genuine relationships and take action in sharing Christ's love.

The Pain Men Hide | Heroic Hotline | Kenneth Harouff

The Man Who Lost His Head for the Truth is more than a clever title&mdash;it&rsquo;s a piercing reminder of what real conviction looks like. In this stirring talk, Father Deacon Andrew Bennett draws us into the fearless faith of St. Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor who defied a king and paid with his life. With stories pulled from trial transcripts and scenes that echo through Westminster Hall, this video asks the hard questions: What is truth? Who gets to define it? And are we, like More, willing to suffer for it?
From the bloody legacy of Henry VIII&rsquo;s supremacy to today&rsquo;s quiet coercions, this is a bold meditation on what it means to live&mdash;and die&mdash;for the truth. Blending historical drama with deep spiritual insight, the talk is a call to live a public faith in a world that demands silence. Whether you're a student, a professional, or simply a Catholic who&rsquo;s tired of hiding your beliefs, this is your moment to be inspired by a man who was never afraid to say no. &nbsp; | ABOUT HEROIC MEN | Heroic Men strengthens men to become missionary disciples, to bring more men to Jesus Christ.

This weekly podcast series hosted by Sean Lynn invites you to his distinctively Irish Canadian Pub studio in sharing A Dram with Friends where we talk about faith, family, food and fun. Pull up a chair and Sean will pour you a drink of his, or your, favourite Whiskey. Distilled alcohol in Latin is ‘aqua vitae’, water of life. The Latin translates in Gaelic to ‘usisge beatha’, also water of life. Whisky is therefore water of life. Jesus would give you living water if you ask (Jn 4:10) and He later says: “Let anyone who thirsts come to me and drink.” Join Sean for A Dram with Friends.

What if the path to heroism didn&rsquo;t start with strength&mdash;but with panic?&nbsp; In The Hero&rsquo;s Journey That Started with Anxiety, we follow Nick Pierlot, a Catholic husband, father, and missionary, as he walks us through his darkest hour: a breakdown on a spiritual pilgrimage. In the face of crippling panic attacks, emotional repression, and a crisis of identity, Nick uncovers an unexpected truth&mdash;heroism begins not with power, but with surrender. From battling inner dragons to chopping down literal god-trees, from failing forward to forming unshakable faith, this episode is a raw, honest deep dive into how God makes men heroic. It&rsquo;s not about being the hero&mdash;it&rsquo;s about letting God be one in you.

Can AI serve the Church &mdash; or will it undermine it? In this eye-opening interview, Matthew Sanders, founder of Magisterium AI and Longbeard, reveals how artificial intelligence is reshaping Catholic evangelization, research, and even access to ancient Church teachings. From digitizing forgotten libraries in Rome to building AI tools that help ordinary Catholics explore theology, Sanders shares the inspiring &mdash; and at times unsettling &mdash; possibilities of AI in faith.
But as AI grows more powerful, so do the questions: Can machines truly assist with spiritual formation? Will AI deepen our understanding of God &mdash; or distort it? What happens when people turn to AI for companionship, therapy, or even answers to life's deepest struggles?
In this conversation, you'll hear the viral story of how Magisterium AI crashed after an EWTN interview, how the Vatican is quietly embracing technology, and why AI might just help preserve &mdash; not replace &mdash; the Church's voice.

<h2>Opening Story: Country Mart in Coweta, America</h2><ul><li>Host shares a humorous experience at the Country Mart grocery store in Coweta, Oklahoma, a beloved local spot with no self-checkout and bag boys who carry groceries to cars.</li><li>After Mass, dressed in a suit, the host is mistaken for a preacher by four different people (a passerby, a deli customer, the cashier, and a bag boy).</li><li>Jokes about leveraging his "preacher hair" and suit to become the mayor and preacher of Coweta, introducing the concept of "nondenominational Catholic" (a playful term explained as Catholics not being a denomination, derived from Latin de nominae meaning "other name").</li><li>Reflects on the Christian culture of the store, where such assumptions are a kind gesture.</li></ul> <h2>Coweta Anecdote: Natural Family Planning (NFP) Story</h2><ul><li>Host recounts a family story about his parents, the first NFP teachers in Oklahoma, teaching the Couple to Couple League’s symptothermal method.</li><li>A humorous moment from a class where a participant mispronounced "coitus" as "Coedes," leading to an ongoing family joke about Coweta (pronounced similarly).</li><li>Mentions his in-laws’ involvement in promoting NFP classes and their eventual move to Coweta, tying it to the town’s significance.</li></ul> <h2>Listener Question: Plenary Indulgence During Sede Vacante</h2><ul><li>Listener query: Can a plenary indulgence be received during a sede vacante (when there is no pope), given the condition of praying for the pope’s intentions?</li><li>Hosts ponder without definitive answers, suggesting:</li><li>Prayer is outside linear time, so praying for the next pope or the recently deceased pope’s soul might satisfy the condition.</li><li>Pope Francis’ intentions for the month (published in advance) could still be prayed for.</li><li>No prayer is wasted; God applies it appropriately, even if the target (e.g., a soul in hell or heaven) cannot benefit.</li><li>Encourage canon lawyers or experts to clarify, acknowledging their limited knowledge on the topic.</li><li>Brief mention of Polymarket, a prediction market where bets can be placed on the next pope, highlighting absurd betting trends.</li></ul> <h2>Pilgrimage Promotion</h2><ul><li>Promotion of Select International Tours, a long-time sponsor offering pilgrimages to holy sites worldwide for 34 years.</li><li>Visit selectinternationaltours.com for details on their high-quality tours with excellent hotels and guides.</li></ul> <h2>Clarification from Previous Episode</h2><ul><li>Correction from a prior episode about papal eligibility: Any baptized Catholic man can theoretically be elected pope, not just clergy.</li><li>Hypothetical first act as pope:</li><li>One host would set a date for Blessed Carlo Acutis’ canonization, expected to be a priority for the next pope.</li><li>Other host jokingly suggests suppressing the Jesuits, quickly clarifying it’s a jest, praising Jesuits like Father Mitch Pacwa and noting their potential as Dominicans.</li></ul> <h2>Main Topic: Time Management for Catholic Dads</h2><ul><li>Introduction and Context:</li><li>Host shares a chaotic day (e.g., a cow in the wrong pasture) to humorously underscore the need for time management, the episode’s focus.</li><li>Aimed at Catholic dads balancing work, family, and prayer life.</li><li>Philosophical Understanding of Time:</li><li>Time is a gift from God, not an enemy, akin to grace—available only in the present moment, not to be saved or earned.</li><li>Avoid the mindset of “just getting past this weekend” to reach holiness; every moment is an opportunity for sanctity through fulfilling one’s vocation.</li><li>Busyness does not equal holiness; faithfulness and resignation to divine providence do.</li><li>References a conversation with Dr. Carlo Broussard defining time as “the measurement of change,” emphasizing human agency in shaping incremental changes toward holiness.</li><li>Stewardship of Time:</li><li>Inspired by St. Louis de Montfort’s feast day and Mary’s fiat, time belongs to God and should be wholly available to His will, not divided into “God’s time” and “personal time.”</li><li>Stewardship involves giving 100% of time back to God, not just a portion, mirroring the Trinity’s interplay of love.</li><li>Children are the highest form of stewardship; parents form their souls to return them to God.</li><li>Practical Time Management Principles:</li><li>Act Promptly and Orderly: Inspired by Mary’s haste to visit Elizabeth, act promptly when God’s will is clear. Father James Schall (from The Life of the Mind) states, “Promptness in action flows from love of the good.” Avoid paralysis or using discernment as an excuse for inaction (St. Joan of Arc: “Act, and God will act”).</li><li>Guard and Structure Time: Time management is about saying no to lesser goods to say yes to greater ones. Protect time for intellectual and spiritual growth for yourself, your wife, and children.</li><li>Routines vs. Flexibility: Routines are crucial but should serve love, not become idols. Flexibility increases as habits form, especially with older children, but deviation without established habits risks chaos.</li><li>Calendar as a Reflection of the Soul: Father Schall’s insight: “We do not really believe what we do not live.” A calendar reveals priorities. Examples:</li><li>Daily 3 PM alarm for Divine Mercy hour to reorient toward Christ.</li><li>Scheduling monthly family confessions to ensure regularity.</li><li>Waking up early for prayer and reading, sacrificing comfort for spiritual/intellectual growth.</li><li>St. Alphonsus Liguori’s 12 Steps of Holiness: Focus on one virtue per month (e.g., mercy in April) to build family habits. Articulate and reinforce the virtue in daily interactions (e.g., emphasizing forgiveness during sibling disputes).</li><li>Well-Ordered Family: Suggests setting yearly, monthly, and weekly family goals with family meetings to track progress. Caution against overly businesslike approaches to avoid utilitarian family dynamics.</li><li>Balancing Business Principles and Family:</li><li>Critique of equating business culture with family (e.g., “we’re a family” in workplaces is utilitarian, as employees can be fired, unlike family).</li><li>Distinction: Applying business tools (e.g., goal-setting) to family is valid if ordered toward charity and disinterested service, not utilitarian ends. Every family member has a duty to serve others selflessly (per John Paul II and the Catechism).</li><li>Incremental Change for Holiness:</li><li>Holiness requires incremental changes, not instant sainthood (e.g., can’t bench press 500 pounds without training or become St. Francis overnight).</li><li>Reference to Solid Virtue (prior episode): Focus on amending faults in small, daily increments (e.g., half-day resolutions) rather than lifelong commitments to avoid overwhelm.</li></ul> <h2>Practical Tips for Catholic Dads</h2><ul><li>Prioritize Spiritual and Intellectual Time: Block off time for prayer and reading, even if it means sacrifices (e.g., earlier wake-ups, shorter lunches).</li><li>Set Family Virtue Goals: Adopt St. Alphonsus Liguori’s model to focus on one virtue monthly, reinforcing it in family language and actions.</li><li>Use a Calendar: Schedule critical spiritual activities (e.g., confession, prayer) to ensure they aren’t neglected.</li><li>Establish Routines with Flexibility: Build habits early, especially for prayer, but allow prudent flexibility as children grow and habits solidify.</li><li>Avoid Busyness as a Holiness Metric: Focus on faithfulness and love, not task volume.</li><li>Act Promptly: When God’s will is clear, act without delay, trusting He will guide.</li></ul> <h2>Drink of the Episode</h2><ul><li>Glentauchers 8-Year-Old Scotch (Scotch Malt Whisky Society, “Smokehouse on the Beach”)</li><li>From the Campbeltown region, with a coastal, briny flavor, blending Islay and Highland characteristics.</li></ul> <h2>Closing</h2><ul><li>Invitation to join the hosts’ October pilgrimage to Assisi, Italy, to see Blessed Carlo Acutis, St. Francis, and St. Clare (incorrupt saints). Assisi is a highlight, with two days planned for a deeper experience.</li><li>Dedication of the episode to the hosts’ wives, Pamela and Hailey.</li><li>Cheers to Jesus!</li></ul> Sponsors: Select International Tours (<a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selectinternationaltours.com</a>)Recommended Reading:<ul><li>The Intellectual Life by Sertillanges</li><li>The Life of the Mind by Father James Schall</li><li>The 12 Steps of Holiness by St. Alphonsus Liguori</li><li>Well-Ordered Family by Mike O’Connor (TAM Publishing)</li><li>Solid Virtue by Father Balakius (Coresu Press)</li></ul> Note: Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their calendars and share feedback on time management strategies for Catholic dads.

Time Management

From gang life to God’s grace—Alan Diaz’s transformation is nothing short of miraculous. In this gripping episode of Heroic Stories, Alan shares his journey from the dark streets of New York, where violence and survival ruled his days, to a life of faith, purpose, and true Brotherhood in Christ. He opens up about the pain of abandonment, the false promises of gang loyalty, and the moment he cried out to God for a way out. A chance encounter, the love of a good woman, and an unexpected blessing set him on a path to redemption. Now, Alan is a devoted husband, father, and leader in his community, using his testimony to reach the next generation. This is a story of struggle, faith, and the power of real Brotherhood—the kind that lifts men up rather than tears them down.Subscribe free to weekly Heroic Men email: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://stories.heroicmen.org">https://stories.heroicmen.org</a>| ABOUT THIS SHOW |Heroic Stories—the series to strengthen Catholic men with raw stories of heroic grit &amp; faith.

You can&rsquo;t live as a true Christian man on your own. In Chapter Four, Holy Spirit, we enter the heart of power, purpose, and surrender. This chapter kicks off a four-part focus on the forgotten third person of the Trinity&mdash;who isn&rsquo;t just a &ldquo;spiritual idea&rdquo; but the fire and force that makes Christian living possible. &ldquo;You will receive power,&rdquo; Jesus said. And most of us are still trying to live without it. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Father Paul-Michael Piega proves that you can simultaneously be a BeatiDude and a thriving young priest. Fr. Piega joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for a dynamic dialogue that details his discernment while displaying the hallmark fraternity of the BeatiDudes. Fr.

Piega pursued pre-medical studies at Texas A&amp;M University, where he initially began with a major in Biology. After a deep reversion experience in his sophomore year by attending a silent retreat during spring break, he fell back in love with his Catholic faith. He began to discern a vocation towards the priesthood. Fr. Piega graduated from Texas A&amp;M University with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Business Administration, where shortly thereafter he entered the seminary. He is an alumnus of St. Joseph Seminary College in St. Benedict, Louisiana, and the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, Italy, where he received a Bachelors in Philosophy and Theology respectively.

Create Deep Connections  | Ep 6

Friends, do not miss this episode. In its entirety. ---Michele Gower was raised in a loving, middle-class family in Sydney, Australia. Though baptized in the Church of England, religion played little role in her early life. Her parents were kind, community-oriented people but had no strong religious beliefs. As a teenager, she chased popularity, partied on weekends, dabbled in light drugs, and barely got by in school. Yet she remained active in sports, volunteered, and was known as a loyal friend. At 17, she met Rohan—a respectful, calm young man whose peaceful nature stood out. The following year, her life shattered when her father died suddenly of a heart attack the morning after her graduation. From that moment, she rejected the idea of a loving God, asking bitterly, “What kind of God would take a father from his daughter on her graduation day?”As adulthood unfolded, she and Rohan got married, had four children, and settled into a life on the Central Coast. Though she had no faith, she supported the decision to send their children to Catholic school. Her husband had been raised Catholic, and she assumed he could guide them spiritually. Over time, she began to feel strangely moved during school Masses. Often, she would sit in church and cry without understanding why. While she appreciated the values of kindness and service taught in the Catholic school, she was simultaneously diving deeper into New Age spirituality—tarot, clairvoyants, energy healing, and a fascination with the supernatural. The more she pursued these practices, the more her connection to reality began to fray.Eventually, she experienced a complete breakdown. Voices, paranoia, terrifying visions, and a crushing emptiness took over her mind. Admitted to a mental health facility, she was heavily medicated and nearly unrecognizable to her loved ones. But one day, sitting alone by a locked glass door, she felt an overwhelming warmth fill her chest—a powerful, soul-filling explosion of light. In that moment, she heard a message in her heart: “Convert to the Catholic Faith, and you and your family will be saved.” Though she didn’t fully understand it, that moment marked a turning point. She began to believe that God was real—and that He was reaching out to her in mercy.The weeks leading up to her reception into the Church were filled with intense spiritual battles. Demonic attacks, confusion, and despair tried to derail her. But friends who understood the dangers of the occult prayed with her, taught her to say the Rosary, and reminded her that God never lets go of His children. Through Confession and the Eucharist, she began to heal. The torment in her mind lifted, layer by layer. She experienced true peace for the first time in her life—peace that surpassed all understanding. Slowly, the angry, obsessive, controlling version of herself faded, replaced by someone more joyful, grounded, and free...#CatholicConversion #ExNewAge #JesusSavedMe #SpiritualWarfare #DeliveredFromDarkness #FromNewAgeToJesus #CatholicTestimony #OccultToChrist #EucharisticHealing #LeavingTheOccult #ChristianTestimony #FreedomInChrist #Catholic #CatholicFaithJourney #AmazingGrace▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

Gospel of Work

Dan Donaldson didn’t start with faith; he started with skepticism. Raised in a non-practicing family, Mass felt like a mystery—confusing and distant. But that all changed when a series of divine encounters sparked his search for truth. The real turning point? Watching his son’s genuine connection to Scripture. That moment pushed Dan back to the Catholic Church, where he discovered the profound significance of the Eucharist—the source and summit of Catholic life. Now, Dan’s life revolves around the Eucharist, and he’s not keeping it to himself. He’s calling others to embrace the life-giving power that transformed him from a skeptic into a believer. If you’re searching for something real, Dan’s story is proof that the Eucharist can be the answer.

The Dates that Your Wife Needs - 10 Tips

Matthew Zeik is a 5th-grade teacher at The Highlands School in Irving, Texas, where six of the BeatiDudes’ kids attend. Mr. Zeik takes his spot at the tiny table during Catholic Schools Week to share his love for teaching and his unique pathway to get there. After entering a minor seminary at thirteen years old, Mr. Zeik spent more than half his life pursuing a religious vocation before discerning his exit. During his time at the seminary, he had the opportunity to work in schools, and he loved it. He discovered his passion for Catholic education and decided to pursue teaching. Twenty years later, he still teaches with the same enthusiasm and spark as when he started. Mr. Zeik grew up in St. Louis and is the second oldest of eleven kids. After meeting his wife, Estela, the couple moved to Naples, Florida for work. Several kids and a move to California later, they finally made their way to Texas. Being an equal distance away from family in Mexico and St. Louis makes Dallas the perfect home for their family during this chapter of life. The show finishes with a great game of “Are you smarter than a 5th grader?” so grab a pen and play along with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, Jeff Schiefelbein, and Mr. Matthew Zeik.<h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://onfiremedia.com/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On Fire Media</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://one-visit-away.teachable.com/p/major-gift-millions/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kevin's Course - Major Gift Millions</a><a href="https://ustmaxstudios.com/network/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MAX Studios</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Pencil Bureau</a> <a href="https://www.davemooremusic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dave Moore Music</a>

He opens up about his personal struggles—overcoming pornography, protecting his family from real threats, and deepening his connection with God through daily prayer.

Family, Fight Club, & Faith: Matt Aujero's Testimony

Spokane Bishop Thomas Daly is urging Catholic voters in Washington state to oppose a proposed law that would order priests to violate the seal of confession in cases where child abuse is revealed during the sacrament. 
The bill, proposed in both houses of the state Legislature, would amend state law to require clergy to report instances of child abuse with no exemption for instances where the abuse is learned during the sacrament of penance. 
Deacon Harold shows us the Catholic response and Also looking into Soulful Psalm 31:10-14

The Seal of Confession

What if the deepest truth about you isn&rsquo;t your failures&mdash;but that you are loved? In &ldquo;Beloved Son,&rdquo; the most essential chapter of the book, we get a powerful reminder of our true identity&mdash;not as sinners, but as sons. This isn&rsquo;t just theory. It&rsquo;s personal, emotional, and deeply spiritual. Centered around Mark 1:11, where the Father says to Jesus, &ldquo;You are my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,&rdquo; this talk calls every man to hear those words for himself&mdash;and to believe them. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

University President with 9 KIDS and 4 GRANDKIDS - Family Man, Jonathan J. Sanford | Episode #022

Chapter 9: Holy dives deep into the soul-level challenge every man faces: Will you be holy&mdash;or not? In this firebrand chapter, Father Larry lays out the high stakes with no sugarcoating: you either become a saint, or you go to hell. There is no middle ground. Drawing from scripture, Church tradition, and hard-earned pastoral wisdom, he rips through lukewarm excuses and invites men into a life of radical holiness. But what does that mean? It&rsquo;s not about being perfect or self-righteous&mdash;it&rsquo;s about being set apart, aligned with God's will, and living a life that says "Thy will be done" for real. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Health and Hardships | Mike Murray | Episode #166

Let’s face it , leadership is hard!  As soon as we start to lead we encounter a whole host of sacrifices and challenges that we never had to face before.  And yet for everything daunting about it, leadership also presents a unique blessing for us.  By persevering through the challenges and continuing to do the mission Christ has given us, we grow in holiness and in charity.  This is the positive message that Pope Gregory The Great puts forth in his second book of his Rule For Shepherds, and his wisdom from more than a thousand years ago continues today.

Verso Jobs Dot Com| Joe Dunikoski | Episode #194

Christians are called to live the life of Christ on Earth and to continue his saving mission in their businesses, in their families, and in their communities.  Christ’s mission as he puts it in John 10 is to come to bring us life and in fact and abundant life.  How do we implement that in our families, in our businesses, and in our world?

DGT Episode 72 - Christ's Mission, Our Mission Part 6 - That They Might Have Life More Abundantly

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v16Alm20K0o">The Case for Christ</a> is a film adaptation of Lee Strobel’s best-selling book of the same name, one that has made an enormous splash in Evangelical circles and beyond. It is the true story of a young, ambitious (and atheist) reporter for the Chicago Tribune, who fell into a psychological and spiritual crisis when his wife became a Christian. In an attempt to bring his wife back to atheism, Lee used his considerable analytical and investigative skills to debunk the resurrection of Jesus. If Jesus didn’t rise, Strobel realizes, all of Christianity crumbles like a house of cards. In this episode, Bishop Robert Barron walks alongside Strobel through many of the common claims against the Resurrection of Jesus and explains why each lacks credibility in the face of real historical evidence. The listener question wonders how he might overcome objections from his loved ones as he joins the Church.

Can a Non Believer Be Courageous? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

After perusing <a href= "http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/08/24/why-americas-nones-left-religion-behind/"> the latest Pew Study</a> on why young people are leaving the active practice of Christianity, Bishop Barron noticed that (once again) the reasons they offer for abandoning Christianity are entirely not compelling. That is to say, any theologian, apologist, or evangelist worth his salt should be able easily to answer these objections to faith and hopefully encourage the youngster to reconsider the Truth of the Church. With this in mind for today's episode, Bishop offers smart, passionate responses to the common misconceptions and objections that continue to lure young people away from God. The listener question asks which books are best for evangelizing atheists from both a rational and emotional standpoint. Topics Discussed <ul> <li>0:17  - Introduction, Bishop's trip to Lake Placid and current reading list</li> <li>3:25 - Bishop's reaction to young people leaving the church?</li> <li>5:15 - Should we avoid pressuring them and let young people return on their own?</li> <li>7:48 - Some common objections: Is religion the opiate of the people?</li> <li>11:10 - Has science disproven religion?</li> <li>15:15 - If religion causes so much violence, how can it possibly be right?</li> <li>17:50 - Does the sex abuse scandal invalidate the Church?</li> <li>20:53 - Is it better to be open-minded to all world religions?</li> <li>26:48 - What if church is too boring and you don't have time?</li> <li>30:40 - How would Bishop Barron encourage young people to return to the Church?</li> <li>32:09 - Question from listener: What are some good books to battle atheism both from a rational and emotional standpoint?</li> </ul> Bonus Resources <ul> <li>Videos <ul> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/effective-evangelization/228/"> Bishop Barron on Effective Evangelization </a>(Bishop Barron)</li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/what-is-god-faith-seeks-understanding/118/"> Bishop Barron on “What is God?”</a></li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/christianity-and-ethics/4666/"> Bishop Barron on Christianity and Ethics</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>DVD's <ul> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/dvd/catholicism-the-new-evangelization/2334/"> CATHOLICISM: The New Evangelization</a> (Word On Fire)</li> <li> <a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/dvd/faith-clips/4421/">Faith Clips</a> (Word On Fire)</li> </ul> </li> <li> Articles   <ul> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/the-joy-of-evangelizing/473/"> The Joy of Evangelization</a> (Bishop Barron)</li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/practical-strategies-of-evangelization/322/"> Practical Strategies of Evangelization</a> (Bishop Barron)</li> </ul> </li> <li>Books <ul> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/book/seeds-of-the-word-finding-god-in-the-culture/4683/"> Seeds of the Word: Finding God in the Culture </a>(Bishop Barron)</li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/book/word-on-fire-proclaiming-the-power-of-christ/2367/"> Word On Fire: Proclaiming the Power of Christ</a> (Bishop Barron)</li> <li><a href= "http://www.amazon.com/Answering-Atheism-Make-Logic-Charity/dp/1938983432/?tag=stno-20"> Answering Atheism: How to Make the Case for God with Logic and Charity</a> by Trent Horn</li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/book/thomas-aquinas-spiritual-master/2358/"> Thomas Aquinas: Spiritual Master</a> by Bishop Robert Barron</li> <li><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Mere-Christianity-C-S-Lewis/dp/0060652926"> Mere Christianity</a> by C.S.

Contemporary scientific evidence, as we shall see, favors the existence of God; it does not contradict it. The evidence for God from philosophy, science, and the medical study of near-death experiences (some of which were discussed in Unit 1) is enormous. In this chapter, we will learn about three principal areas of physical evidence for an intelligent Creator: the Borde-Vilenkin-Guth Proof, the entropy evidence, and fine-tuning evidence at the Big Bang.In this episode you will learn that ...■ Science and faith have the same goal: to understand the universe as it really is.■ Contemporary science provides many kinds of evidence for the existence of God.■ All coherent, evidence-based theories of our universe require a definite beginning in the past.■ That only nothing can come from nothing is a basic principle of metaphysics.■ Something that must transcend (be beyond) physical reality must cause physical reality to move from nothing to something. We call that something a Creator, or God.■ The structure of the universe that we have, with all its conditions fine-tuned to favor life, is virtually impossible to attribute to random chance.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr. Spitzer is a Catholic priest in the Jesuit order and is currently the President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith (<a href="https://magiscenter.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">magiscenter.com</a>).

Episode 3: Scientific Evidence of an Intelligent Creator

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

Kelly Halaszyn, Senior Director for the Diocese of Dallas, crams into the Tiny Table with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for an on-air BeatiDudes adventure. Halaszyn (which might mean - it is Polish) has been in Dallas since 2016 and considers himself blessed to serve the Most Reverend Bishop Burns. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Kelly grew up in Catholic education and attended Strake Jesuit. From there, he continued his higher education at St. Louis University. After graduating, he moved back to Houston and gained his first experience in fundraising while working for the Epilepsy Foundation.

For many Christians today, obedience is one of the hardest things to master.  Afterall, what exactly is its value?  Why should we try and inculcate a spirit of obedience?  How do we keep from being obedient and servile at the same time?  Christ speaks in John 6 of how He came to do the will of the Father and how this will of the Father is a good thing.  Let’s listen to His word.

Into the Breach 

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 Father. Today we hear Jesus, full of Divine Knowledge and the Perfection of Fortitude, reveal He will be horribly murdered on a Cross and shocks the Apostles by revealing that they too must pick up their Cross and follow Him. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to grow in the Virtue of Magnanimity so he can commit to the greatness of sacrificing himself for God and others. We’ll also consider the importance of growing in the Virtue of Prayer so that a man can pick up his cross with zeal and joy.
