How to Make a Good Confession - Fr. Michael Pratt

Today, John, Devin, and Sam are discussing something that will get you out of the vicious cycle that sin places upon us. This is incredibly important because who likes falling into the same sin over and over and over? What if it’s a mortal sin that just keeps returning and you feel trapped when it happens? Helplessness sets in and moving forward seems impossible. This is all too common for men, and today we are going to discuss 3 mistakes that men make after falling into sin and 3 ways to offset this cycle in your life. <h2>Podcast Sponsor:</h2>Catholic Woodworker - <a href="https://catholicwoodworker.com/">https://catholicwoodworker.com/</a>INCREDIBLE DEVOTIONAL FOR MEN: LEAD by Devin Schadt - <a href="https://store.catholicgentleman.com/collections/books/products/lead-daily-devotional">https://store.catholicgentleman.com/collections/books/products/lead-daily-devotional</a>🔴 Get this and watch the entire 1h 30mins of episode 168 here - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com🔴 Jason Craig joins CG+ to discuss the difference between discipleship and brotherhood and why brotherhood is what our world needs.

Confession is Not Enough?

What does God’s glory look like in your everyday life? 
This week on They That Hope, Father Dave and Deacon Bob reflect on the Gospel account of the Transfiguration, exploring how moments of divine glory give us strength and perspective during life’s hardest trials. They share how Christ reveals his presence both in the extraordinary—like mountaintop encounters—and the ordinary rhythms of daily life. 
As Deacon Bob prepares to lead a mission team to Belize and Father Dave readies for a pilgrimage to Rwanda, they reflect on the beauty, chaos, and spiritual depth of saying "yes" to God’s call.  
Plus: Gene Hackman tributes, sports heartbreak, custom cookies, and the surprisingly tricky technique of applying ashes. 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Belize Missions and 2 A.M. Wake-Ups  
Deacon Bob shares the joys and challenges of preparing for a teaching mission in Belize, including an unholy 2 a.m. check-in. Meanwhile, Father Dave offers prayers (and a touch of envy) from Steubenville. 
(08:05) Pilgrimage to Rwanda and the Power of Sacred Places  
Father Dave looks ahead to his trip to Kibeho, the <a href='https://www.kibeho-cana.org/a-brief-history-of-the-apparitions-of-our-lady-of-kibeho/'>site of a Marian apparition</a> that foretold the Rwandan genocide. He reflects on how sacred spaces open hearts to healing and hope. 
(09:20) Sports Heartbreak Hall of Fame  
The hosts nominate America’s most painful teams to root for—from the <a href='https://www.nfl.com/teams/dallas-cowboys/'>Dallas Cowboys</a> to the <a href='https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/_/name/cle/cleveland-browns'>Cleveland Browns</a> and beyond. It’s part therapy session, part sports history, and 100% relatable. 
(15:00) Lent, Ashes, and Sugar Cookies  
From ash-thumb technique to cookies with their faces on them, Father Dave and Deacon Bob celebrate Lent with reverence and humor. Plus, a shoutout to a generous listener and a forgotten name. 
(19:46) Remembering Gene Hackman  
They honor the legendary actor <a href='https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000432/'>Gene Hackman</a> with a tour of his greatest films, including <a href='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091217/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_1_in_0_q_hoosiers'>Hoosiers,</a> <a href='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105695/?ref_=nm_knf_t_3'>Unforgiven,</a> and <a href='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106918/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_1_in_0_q_the%2520firm'>The Firm</a>. His legacy sparks a fun exchange about favorite actors and movie memories. 
(30:45) Gospel Reflection: The Transfiguration  
The hosts reflect on <a href='https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/080616.cfm'>Luke’s account of the Transfiguration</a> and the mystery of seeing God's glory. They share how moments of divine light—like mountaintop encounters—sustain us through darkness and doubt.

The Transfiguration

Eucharist, Adoration, and the Hobbit

How do you put yourself in a position in being led when you are a leader?
&hellip; Hosts Pat Lencioni and Chris Stefanick give a daily reflection for Christians in the workplace.

Learning to Follow

This week on a "Best Of" Living the Call, Deacon Charlie sits down with Jason Simon: husband, father of six and President of The Evangelical Catholic. After briefly working in engineering, Jason served as a parish Director of Religious Education and Youth Ministry. There, he saw the power of evangelization and his passion to see more lives impacted by the Holy Spirit.&nbsp;In this episode, Deacon talks with Jason about his work at The Evangelical Catholic. Under Jason’s leadership, The Evangelical Catholic equips Catholics not only to be disciples, but vibrant witnesses and disciple-makers in the world: sent out to bear fruit for the Kingdom through the life-changing love of Jesus.&nbsp;

Possessing Things

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

In this episode, we hear from Catholic convert, priest, author and blogger Fr. Dwight Longenecker. We hear about his journey from an Evangelical Protestant to Anglican priest to the Catholic Church and Catholic priesthood. We learn about Fr. Longenecker's love for literature and for writing, and in particular his books commenting on our current secular age riddled with atheism and materialism. We also hear about how St. John Paul II understood the false ideas that underlie our current cultural crisis and how he sought to correct them.-- About Fr. Dwight Longenecker "I was brought up in an Evangelical home in Pennsylvania. After graduating from the fundamentalist Bob Jones University with a degree in Speech and English, I went to study theology at Oxford University. Eventually I was  ordained as an Anglican priest and served as a curate, a school chaplain in Cambridge and a country parson on the Isle of Wight.""Realizing that the Anglican Church and I were on divergent paths, in 1995 I and my family were received into the Catholic Church. For ten years we continued to live in England where I worked as a freelance writer and charity worker. Then in 2006 the door opened to return to the USA and be ordained as a Catholic priest.""I now serve as Pastor of Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Greenville, South Carolina." -- Visit Fr. Longenecker's website: <a href="https://dwightlongenecker.com/">https://dwightlongenecker.com/</a> Fr. Longenecker's new book, Beheading Hydra: A Radical Plan for Christians in an Atheistic Age, is available for purchase at his <a href="https://dwightlongenecker.com/shop/">online bookstore</a>.-- Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David Hajduk, Ph.D.Visit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.
