Rejecting Secular Dogma w/ Best Selling LGBTQ Author (Matt Walsh) | Ep. 323

Hey guys, today we're talking to Christ Stefanick about "wokism," cancel culture, and the other current trends that seek to separate us from Christ's mercy and love.

We'll learn that:
- Wokism doesn’t expand our view of reality, but instead causes anxiety and worry
- When we run the risk of being "canceled" over our beliefs, we must keep our focus on God’s mercy
- As Catholics, Jesus is the frame through which we view the world, and we shouldn’t be afraid to share His love and truth with others

BONUS: Is Lying Always Wrong? Fr Gregory Pine Vs. Dr. Janet Smith

Failure is a part of life. We all go through it every single day. The more we strive for greatness and personal excellence, the more we risk and experience failure.
In order to stay on the journey despite failure, we have to develop grit and endurance. We need the proper mindset in our approach to life in order to avoid surrendering to the shame of our setbacks.
In this episode, Nathan breaks down four main types of failure and ways we can properly respond to each of them. He shares his own experiences of major and minor setbacks, along with the ways he has overcome them.

Ep 16 | Seeking Excellence Through Failure

Today we chat to Thomas about Limbo. What is it? Are Catholics bound to believe in it? If it does exist what do the souls there experience? --- Whether those souls which depart with original sin alone, suffer from a bodily fire, and are punished by fire? Gregory Nazianzen in his fortieth sermon, which is entitled On Holy Baptism, distinguishes three classes of unbaptized persons: those namely who refuse to be baptized, those who through neglect have put off being baptized until the end of life and have been surprised by sudden death, and those who, like infants, have failed to receive it through no fault of theirs. Of the first he says that they will be punished not only for their other sins, but also for their contempt of Baptism; of the second, that they will be punished, though less severely than the first, for having neglected it; and of the last he says that "a just and eternal Judge will consign them neither to heavenly glory nor to the eternal pains of hell, for although they have not been signed with Baptism, they are without wickedness and malice, and have suffered rather than caused their loss of Baptism." He also gives the reason why, although they do not reach the glory of heaven, they do not therefore suffer the eternal punishment suffered by the damned: "Because there is a mean between the two, since he who deserves not honor and glory is not for that reason worthy of punishment, and on the other hand he who is not deserving of punishment is not for that reason worthy of glory and honor" [...] Hence, as his guilt did not result from an action of his own, even so neither should he be punished by suffering himself, but only by losing that which his nature was unable to obtain. On the other hand, those who are under sentence for original sin will suffer no loss whatever in other kinds of perfection and goodness which are consequent upon human nature ST. Appendix I, I, I. Whether these same souls suffer spiritual affliction on account of the state in which they are? right reason does not allow one to be disturbed on account of what one was unable to avoid; hence Seneca proves (Ep. lxxxv, and De ira ii, 6) that "a wise man is not disturbed." Now in these children there is right reason deflected by no actual sin. Therefore they will not be disturbed for that they undergo this punishment which they could nowise avoid. [...] Now in these children there is right reason deflected by no actual sin. Therefore they will not be disturbed [...] [T]he pain of punishment corresponds to the pleasure of sin; wherefore, since original sin is void of pleasure, its punishment is free of all pain. [...] [I]f one is guided by right reason one does not grieve through being deprived of what is beyond one's power to obtain, but only through lack of that which, in some way, one is capable of obtaining. Thus no wise man grieves for being unable to fly like a bird, or for that he is not a king or an emperor, since these things are not due to him; whereas he would grieve if he lacked that to which he had some kind of claim [...] Hence they will nowise grieve for being deprived of the divine vision; nay, rather will they rejoice for that they will have a large share of God's goodness and their own natural perfections.

64: Does the Church teach that Limbo is a real place?

All of us want to make a difference for Christ in our culture today.  But most of us don’t know where to begin.  A wide variety of issues competes for our attention.  One thing the Catholic church has consistently argued is that the family is the root of society.  As the family goes so the world will go.  Maybe this is why for the Catholic church so much attention is spent on developing family ties.  Why is this so, however?  And what importance should we give the family in our own efforts to transform the culture for Christ today?

DGT Episode 263 - The World Goes As The Family Goes - Impact Culture For Christ Part 6

Most Christians today recognize the importance of engaging our culture with the Gospel.  Changes are afoot that would radically alter the way that we raise our families and understand our fundamental freedoms.  This sense of urgency has led many to find the most effective ways to impact the culture.  How do we transform a culture before it transforms us?  One of the most overlooked methods, however, is the simplest: the direct encounter we can have with the people around us.  If cultural leadership were football, this would be the ground game, and this is the method our Lord, Himself, showed us.

DGT Episode 262 - Playing A Good Ground Game - Impact Culture For Christ Part 5

Today Victor and I are talking about how easy it is to focus on what we don’t have instead of the many blessings bestowed on us by God. We think, “If I had ___, then I’d be happy.” This can lead us to addictions to fill the void. Instead, we should be thankful for everything in our lives.

In this episode, we’ll learn that:

 - If we focus on what we think is missing from our lives, we can turn to addictions to fill the void.
 - We have so many comforts that others don’t have, it’s easy to take them for granted.
 - Maintaining a positive attitude and giving thanks to God for even the smallest things leads to true happiness.

They Are Coming for Our Children

Alessandro DiSanto never expected that he and his childhood friends would come together early in their careers to launch a prayer app. Fast-forward to the present - - Hallow is the world's most successful Christian prayer app. Hallow stats (aka vanity stats)•	20 million downloads•	600million prayers, prayed in over 150 countries•	Available in 8 languages•	More than 170 employees Alessandro grew up in a big Italian family in Chicago, enjoying family dinners with grandparents who never learned English. As a teenager, Alessandro gravitated towards the intellectual side of the Catholic faith and found his way to Notre Dame for college. After college, Alessandro started a job in big finance at Goldman Sachs in New York, where he was reprimanded for displaying a picture of Our Lady on the Notre Dame campus. During a Sunday night dinner with friends in 2018, Hallow co-founder and childhood friend Alex Jones brought a series of questions and reflections to the group that launched an ongoing conversation about building something to reinforce each of their own prayer lives. Within months, three friends quit their jobs to build Hallow and had the app posted to the app store by the end of the year. The Hallow team knew they were on to something important early on when they heard countless stories of the app's impacts on people in need, including lifesaving and life-altering moments of prayer. Alessandro shares an insider look at Hallow, highlighting the app's most common uses and other lesser-known aspects. In 2024, Hallow released an ad during the Super Bowl featuring Mark Wahlberg and Jonathan Roumie, encouraging the audience to stay prayed up. The timing was perfect, as Super Bowl Sunday was just days before Ash Wednesday this year. The Hallow app helps users find God’s peace, transform their prayer life, and build daily habits that draw them closer to Him.

Stay Prayed Up with Hallow | Alessandro DiSanto | Episode #155

No Vacation From God
Father Mariusz Sztuk, another of the original members of the Riders, shares his impressions about how, when on a vacation our faith can be manifest in ways that may be outside of our normal. The riders have always been grateful to have a priest with them on their trips to be able to offer the sacraments to them. While traveling, besides their daily Mass, the men try to demonstrate their faith in public to others around them to hopefully engage with them. Father talks about how even just making the sign of the cross and praying grace at meal times in restaurants can be a witness to faith and may open doors for others who are searching.

My Favorite Pilgrimage Sites | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Why do so many men feel like nothing they do is ever good enough?

Join us in the pew this week as John unpacks the crushing weight of perfectionism, the very thing that keeps men stuck in cycles of inadequacy and self-condemnation. God isn’t asking for perfection; He’s inviting you into greatness. When you show up to Mass distracted or spend an imperfect hour with your kids, He sees your heart and effort, not your failures.

If you’re tired of the voice that says “it’s never enough,” this episode offers a biblical shift in perspective. Don’t let your mistakes define you; let them refine you.

A Generational Curse Lifted: The Testimony of Tammy Comer

"God never tires of forgiving us; we are the ones who tire of seeking his mercy." ~ Pope Francis, Joy of the Gospel 

Join John and Victor this week as they discuss the great power of the sacrament of Confession. "The whole power of the sacrament of Penance consists in restoring us to God's grace and joining us with him in an intimate friendship" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1468). Intimate and life-giving friendship is what the Lord desires for each one of us. Listen as the men share moments of wrestling with and experiencing this truth in their lives.

In this episode John and Victor discuss:
-Confession as an act of love, not punishment
-How our sin affects the entire Church
-Receiving Confession as a gift of mercy
