Hosts Pat Lencioni and Chris Stefanick give a daily reflection for Christians in the workplace.

Not of this World

&quot;Our public education system has not only undermined religion, it has replaced religion with socio-political ideology.&quot; Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Fr. Deacon Christopher Warner of the Acton Institute about the state of modern education and the challenges facing Catholic parents. Our discussion explores:- How public education has shifted from teaching critical thinking to promoting ideological indoctrination- The historical roots of education&#39;s transformation through cultural Marxism and the sexual revolution- Why all education is inherently sectarian and reflects specific worldviews- The false anthropologies being taught to children that contradict Catholic understanding of human nature- How parents can navigate a system increasingly hostile to Christian values- The principle of subsidiarity in education and why it &quot;begins at home&quot;- Practical alternatives including homeschooling, private education, and hybrid approaches- The importance of protecting children from harmful media influencesFr. Deacon Christopher shares insights from his experience as a Catholic educator and offers guidance for parents seeking to raise children with authentic Catholic formation. Whether you&#39;re concerned about the public school curriculum or looking for alternatives, this conversation provides a framework for understanding today&#39;s educational challenges through a Catholic lens.This episode reminds us that as parents are the primary educators of their children, we must be vigilant about the values and worldview being taught to the next generation - and be prepared to take more active roles in their education when necessary.We want to hear from you!

Education or Ideological Indoctrination? with Christopher B. Warner

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, Sam is joined by Fr. Dwight Longenecker to discuss why it is vitally important for a man to understand, live, and boldly confront evil as Christ's clear example and constant demand. Avoiding a nonconfrontational, feel good Gospel is not the way forward or the teachings of the Church. This widespread approach has created a wayward flock that indirectly teaches pacifism and has damaged uncountable lives.In this episode we discuss;<ul>
<li>How getting knocked outside our comfort zone can lead to right action</li>
<li>How the Church calls us to boldly proclaim Truth</li>
<li>The damage to society at large by watering down Christ's teaching</li>
<li>And More</li>

Why a "Modern-Day Eunuch" Lives Chastely No Matter What | Guest Logan Jackson

Sometimes we imagine saints to be people who have life all figured out.  They seem to know and execute on God’s plan perfectly and therefore it can be hard for us to try and imitate them.  The life of St. Paul, however, shows us something very different.  Many times he did not know what to do and yet he still made decisions.  How did a saint as great as St. Paul make decisions about God’s will?  How did St. Paul know what to do?  By looking at the scriptures we can learn value lessons to help us in our leadership as well.

DGT Episode 248 - Making The Right Kind Of Choices - St. Paul The Leader Part 4

If faith casts out fear and fear is the beginning of wisdom, does that mean faith casts out the beginning of wisdom? We'll talk about three types of fear: servile, filial, and reverential. --- HUGE THANKS to the following Patrons: Tom Dickson, Jack Buss, Sean McNicholl, Jed Florstat, Daniel Szafran, Phillip Hadden Katie Kuchar, Phillipe Ortiz, Russell T Potee, Sarah Jacob, Fernando Enrile --- Fear is a movement of the appetitive power, as stated above (I-II:41:1). Now the principle of all appetitive movements is the good or evil apprehended: and consequently the principle of fear and of every appetitive movement must be an apprehension. Again, through faith there arises in us an apprehension of certain penal evils, which are inflicted in accordance with the Divine judgment. On this way, then, faith is a cause of the fear whereby one dreads to be punished by God; and this is servile fear. It is also the cause of filial fear, whereby one dreads to be separated from God, or whereby one shrinks from equalling oneself to Him, and holds Him in reverence, inasmuch as faith makes us appreciate God as an unfathomable and supreme good, separation from which is the greatest evil, and to which it is wicked to wish to be equalled. Of the first fear, viz. servile fear, lifeless faith is the cause, while living faith is the cause of the second, viz. filial fear, because it makes man adhere to God and to be subject to Him by charity.

Obedience and Martyrs: What Strength Really Looks Like

We take a look at what Thomas Aquinas has to say about the 8 daughters (or effects) of lust: Blindness of mind, thoughtlessness, inconstancy, rashness, self-love, hatred of God, love of this world and abhorrence or despair of a future world (ST II-II Q. 153, A. 5).

Authentic FRATERNITY & BeatiDude Affirmations | Will Hickl | Episode #064

From NBA history to boxing hilarity to heavenly devotion, this episode covers it all. 
Father Dave and Deacon Bob kick off this episode with undefeated basketball teams, NFL surprises, and a now-notorious boxing match that left the world talking about Mike Tyson’s… britches. But the real focus? A heartfelt look at devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the ways God continues to work through saints, sacraments, and sacred spaces. 
They cover everything from the Cleveland Cavaliers’ record-breaking start to Deacon Bob’s visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Champion, the first approved Marian apparition site in the U.S. Father Dave shares exciting updates about Franciscan University’s new presence in Washington, D.C., and how students will be engaging with the nation's capital in fresh, faith-filled ways. 
Meanwhile, the duo breaks down the highly anticipated (and widely mocked) Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight, including buffering woes, bizarre interviews, and the mystery of Tyson’s missing pants. But at the heart of the episode is a rich discussion on how saints like St. Augustine, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, and St. Margaret Mary Alacoque open the Church to deeper encounters with the Sacred Heart—especially through the Sacraments of the Eucharist and Reconciliation. 
Naturally, there is a wide-ranging conversation: sports fandoms, pilgrimage dreams, movie trailers, and a plea for listeners to join a They That Hope pilgrimage. Through it all, the message remains: God’s heart thirsts for us—and when we encounter it, we are transformed.

Mike Tyson's Britches

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob talk about Mikaela Shiffrin (a USA alpine skier who just broke a record), journalism in a post-truth world, sharing the faith with others, and the cure of the man born blind (John 9).

Post-Truth

What do typhoon evacuations, koala selfies, and second breakfast in Hobbiton have in common? They’ve all been part of Deacon Bob’s adventurous month. 
After a few weeks apart, Father Dave and Deacon Bob are back, swapping globe-trotting tales, ministry moments, and a surprisingly full slate of sports updates. Bob’s recent trip took him from the typhoon-swept Philippines to Singapore, Perth, Sydney, and a bucket-list stop in New Zealand’s Hobbiton (yes, complete with hobbit holes, the Green Dragon Inn, and second breakfast). 
Along the way, he preached to 90 youth leaders just hours after a typhoon hit, met a koala, saw kangaroos, and even met a listener named Rain who drove five hours just to hear him speak. There were plenty of memorable meals, from perfect pancakes to less-than-crispy bacon. 
Meanwhile, Father Dave stayed stateside, baptizing great-nieces (one walked to her own baptism), speaking at the Knights of Columbus Conference, and making a moving visit to the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine in Oklahoma City. He shares Rother’s remarkable story—from failing Latin in seminary, to obeying his bishop’s call to return to Guatemala, to his martyrdom in 1981—and the beauty of a shrine built right in the heart of the city it serves. 
Sports fans get plenty too: the debut of MLB’s first female umpire Jen Pawol (including her Hall of Fame–bound first pitch), Tom Brady’s towering new statue, and even a trivia challenge about the University of Michigan making draft history. 
Naturally, there are detours, including CGI vs. AI, bad sports statues, and ministry moments that transcended cultural boundaries. But through it all, the heart stays the same: joyfully sharing the Gospel, wherever God sends you (even if it’s to a sheep paddock in New Zealand). 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Sports, Schedules, and Saying Goodbye 
The guys open with bittersweet news about the podcast winding down, why recording has gotten harder, and an invitation for listeners to share favorite memories. They then go into the week’s light sports slate and review the <a href='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5950044/'>new Superman</a>. Even with the end in sight, their trademark banter is alive and well. 
 
(05:41) Football, Statues, and Sports Trivia 
Deacon Bob previews a Buccaneers-Steelers preseason game while Father Dave looks forward to Steelers training camp. They discuss <a href='https://www.boston.com/community/readers-say/2025/08/11/tom-brady-statue-reactions/'>Tom Brady’s towering statue</a> and celebrate <a href='https://www.mlb.com/video/jen-pawol-debuts-behind-the-plate'>Jen Pawol historic debut as MLB’s first female umpire</a>. The segment wraps with a trivia challenge about a university making draft history in all four major leagues. 
 
(15:44) From Typhoons to Hobbit Holes 
Bob recounts ministry in the Philippines, Perth, and New Zealand, including speaking to youth leaders <a href='https://apnews.com/article/typhoon-comay-philippines-9b0c191c63112a109b60b420b5917010'>after a typhoon</a> and connecting with alumni abroad. He describes <a href='https://www.hobbitontours.com/'>walking through the Shire set</a> from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, complete with hobbit holes and the Green Dragon Inn. Jenny may not be a huge fan of the films, but even she found the tour magical. 
 
(23:42) Sydney, Koalas, and the Ends of the Earth 
From welcoming bishops to preaching across cultures, Bob reflects on moments when the Holy Spirit’s anointing was tangible. He shares encounters with young adults, a koala, and a listener who drove five hours to hear him speak. Each stop reaffirmed the universal joy of sharing the Gospel. 
 
(25:42) Baptisms, Knights, and Blessed Stanley Rother 
Father Dave talks about baptizing his great-nieces and representing Franciscan University at the <a href='https://www.dckofc2025.com/'>Knights of Columbus Conference.</a> He shares the moving story of <a href='https://archokc.org/stanleyrother'>Blessed Stanley Rother</a> a missionary priest martyred in Guatemala, and describes visiting the shrine dedicated to him. The witness of Rother’s courage and devotion left a lasting impression. 
 
(32:37) Feast Days and a Chapel Blessing 
Looking ahead to the <a href='https://bustedhalo.com/ministry-resources/understanding-and-celebrating-the-feast-of-the-assumption'>Feast of the Assumption</a> they pray for peace amid global tensions. Father Dave previews the blessing of Franciscan University’s newly renovated Christ the King Chapel, while Bob outlines upcoming speaking engagements.

Christian Culture, Pro-Life Activism, & Male Escapism (John Doyle) | Ep. 456​

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

How DAILY CATHOLIC MASS Converted a Presbyterian

Episode Overview:In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles dive into a lighthearted yet profound discussion about the phrase "killing two birds with one stone," the joys and challenges of high school reunions, and a deep exploration of friendship—both human and divine. The episode centers on John 15:14-15, where Jesus calls His disciples friends, not servants, offering a transformative perspective on what it means to live in communion with Christ. A powerful confession experience ties the conversation together, emphasizing the shift from doing things for God to doing them with Him.Key Discussion Points:<ul><li>Opening Banter (00:00:16 - 00:04:55): Adam and David humorously debate the origins and modern misuse of the phrase "killing two birds with one stone," referencing historical and biblical imagery like David and Goliath, and even a viral video of Nolan Ryan hitting a bird with a baseball.</li><li>Life Updates (00:05:00 - 00:11:39): David shares his excitement for an upcoming family reunion in Wyoming, while Adam talks about his son Leo’s second-place finish in mutton busting at a local rodeo and his anticipation for a 20-year high school reunion, sparking a funny reflection on aging and pride.</li><li>Sponsorship Spotlight (00:12:00 - 00:13:15): The hosts highlight their long-time sponsor, Select International Tours, encouraging listeners to explore pilgrimage opportunities at <a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selectinternationaltours.com</a> and join their upcoming trip to Italy in October.</li><li>What We’re Drinking (00:13:29 - 00:15:47): Adam and David enjoy The Sassenach, a blended Scotch whiskey with a Gaelic name meaning "outsider" or "stranger." They praise its Highland-like flavor and art deco bottle, likening it to a Mad Men-style decanter.</li><li>Literature and Reading (00:16:46 - 00:20:43): David discusses reading G.K. Chesterton’s Man Alive, recommended by Monsignor Gallus, a Chesterton scholar, and touches on Plato’s The Republic. The hosts reflect on Chesterton’s whimsical style and the influence of classical works on Christian thought.</li><li>Main Topic: Friendship with Christ (00:22:08 - 00:58:51):</li><li>Biblical Foundation: Adam introduces John 15:14-15, where Jesus says, “You are my friends if you keep what I command you. No longer do I call you servants… but I have called you friends.” This passage sets the stage for a discussion on authentic friendship.</li><li>Philosophical Insights: Drawing from Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics (Books 8-10), the hosts explore his three types of friendship—pleasure, utility, and authentic (virtuous) friendship. Aristotle views authentic friendship as the highest moral achievement, impossible without virtue, as vice renders true friendship unattainable.</li><li>Christian Perspective: The discussion connects Aristotle’s ideas to Christian theology, with references to Augustine, Aquinas, and Cicero. Aquinas describes charity as the highest form of friendship, requiring mutual love, willing the good of the other, and a shared life—mirrored in Christ’s relationship with His disciples.</li><li>Old vs. New Covenant: The hosts contrast the Old Covenant’s servanthood (e.g., Abraham obeying without full understanding) with the New Covenant’s friendship, where Christ shares divine knowledge, inviting us into intimacy and communion.</li><li>Confession Insight: Adam shares a transformative moment from confession, where a priest challenged his mentality of doing things for God, urging him to focus on doing things with God. This shift reframes Christian life as a relationship of friendship, not obligation, aligning with John 15’s message.</li><li>Communion of Saints: The episode explores how the communion of saints reflects perfect friendship, unhindered by human vice, and how Christ’s infinite love desires this communion with us.</li><li>Practical Takeaway: The hosts encourage listeners to reflect on John 15:9-17 in adoration, emphasizing that God doesn’t need our works but desires our companionship. This perspective relieves the pressure of performance and combats pride, fostering a deeper relationship with Christ.</li></ul> Events and Announcements:<ul><li>Catholic Man Show Campout: Scheduled for the last Saturday in September at Clear Creek Abbey. Sign-ups open in August, with new activities planned for this milestone event (approximately the 10th annual campout).</li><li>Pilgrimage Opportunity: Join Adam and David in Italy this October with Father Stuart Kravcor. Visit <a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selectinternationaltours.com</a> for details.</li></ul> Resources Mentioned:<ul><li>Scripture: John 15:9-17, particularly verses 14-15.</li><li>Books: </li><li>G.K. Chesterton’s Man Alive</li><li>Plato’s The Republic</li><li>Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics (Books 8-10)</li><li>Ignatius Study Bible</li><li>Sponsorship: Select International Tours (<a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selectinternationaltours.com</a>)</li><li>Social Media: Check Adam’s Facebook for a video of his son Leo’s mutton busting performance.</li></ul> Quotes to Ponder:<ul><li>“You are my friends if you keep what I command you. No longer do I call you servants… but I have called you friends.” – John 15:14-15</li><li>“The Lord doesn’t need anything from you… You have to start thinking about doing things with the Lord.” – Priest in confession</li><li>“Friendship is the point of the Christian life.” – David Niles</li><li>“Charity is the highest form of friendship.” – St. Thomas Aquinas</li></ul> Call to Action:<ul><li>Reflect on John 15:9-17 in prayer or adoration to deepen your understanding of friendship with Christ.</li><li>Sign up for the Catholic Man Show Campout at Clear Creek Abbey in September.</li><li>Explore pilgrimage opportunities with Select International Tours.</li></ul> Share this episode with friends to spark conversations about authentic friendship and faith.

Real Love for the Poor (Bob Lesnefsky) | Ep. 317

“Going and helping somebody find healing and restoration is the greatest and most fulfilling superpower you could ever have.” 

On this week’s episode, John is hosting solo. He discusses how Catholicism is centered around bringing healing and restoration to those who are afflicted and brokenhearted. Through stories from the Bible like Isaiah 61, John shows us how Jesus assists the afflicted, binds up the brokenhearted, and frees captives. He urges us to embody the mission of Jesus in ministering to those in need and to embrace the call of bringing comfort to those who are hurting.
