This week on They That Hope, Deacon Bob Rice and Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, tackle the rising tide of anxiety affecting young people—and all of us!  From Super Bowl surprises to shocking NBA trades, it’s a whirlwind of headlines, but the heart of this conversation is deeper: Why are so many teens (and adults) overwhelmed, and what can we do about it? 
Drawing from Dr. Greg Bottaro’s new “In Focus” series, alongside insights from The Anxious Generation and Bad Therapy, the hosts explore how overprotection in the real world and chaos online have created a generation experiencing heightened anxiety. They also reflect on parenting, prayer, digital safety, and the role of faith in fostering real peace and resilience. 
Meanwhile, Father Dave celebrates his 60th birthday (officially “elderly”), Deacon Bob returns from a retreat in Arizona and a week in Texas, and together they close with a hopeful call for Christian unity in a fractured world. 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Father Dave Is Officially Old (and Kind of Okay With It)

The Eagles crush the Chiefs in a <a href='https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401671889/chiefs-eagles'>game full of fireworks</a>—literally. Deacon Bob vents about the lopsided score, Father Dave praises the <a href='https://youtu.be/K0iKgJXy_gk?si=Zt7a1Sqxz4HIYMs3'>Clydesdale commercial</a>, and both give nods to halftime outfits that were refreshingly modest.

In a trade that stunned fans and players alike, <a href='https://www.nba.com/player/1629029/luka-doncic'>Luka Dončić</a> heads to L.A. while <a href='https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/6583/anthony-davis'>Anthony Davis</a> lands in Dallas.

Spoiler: Pope Francis isn’t the first to suggest it. 
(36:18) Signs of Hope: Lifelong Ministry and Lifelong Friends

Stressed Out

David Colletti is a loving husband, father, and people-focused leader driving outsized impact through a culture of extraordinary teams built on character, magnanimity, authenticity, integrity, and purpose. Colletti is Senior Vice President of Real Estate and Mergers &amp; Acquisitions for 7-Eleven, Inc. He is responsible for all store growth and integration in the U.S. and Canada, including new store builds, acquisitions and integration, store development in partnership with the Construction team, and managing the company’s extensive portfolio of physical assets to ensure they deliver maximum value to 7-Eleven. Colletti serves on the board of the DFW Retail Executives Association. He received a dual-degree Bachelor of Arts from The Catholic University of America and his Juris Doctor from George Washington University Law School.The show starts with the Dudes slurping up a 7-Eleven history lesson from David. Quickly, we learn that Colletti was drawn to his first job on 7-Eleven’s legal team because of the Jesus conversations he had when discussing servant leadership during his interviews. BIG MOMENT - On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a Brainiac Know-It-All to address the prompt “You know you’re Catholic when you love talking about ______.” But there is a twist - - this version of the game is worth 711 points, and the results may change the Season One scoreboard completely. On TBD, David and the Dudes answer the question of the day, “What is something that makes you mad.” And to wrap up the show with another Reverse Simpsons, the Dudes play a homegrown version of “Catch Phrase.” Nick and Paul take turns trying to get David to guess as many words or phrases as possible out of 10 possible during the one-minute and 33-second timer. <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://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</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>

Glendalough Pot Still Irish Whiskey -

There is no more Irish a whiskey than Pot Still, so we felt it was fitting to age it in Irish Oak.

We at Glendalough Distillery are proud to play our part in bringing back the use of Irish oak for whiskey cask-making.

This most quintessentially Irish style of whiskey, pot still, is first matured in ex-bourbon casks, then in Irish Oak felled in the mountains around the distillery.

While the bourbon cask softens and sweetens the whiskey, the higher levels of flavor in Irish oak complement and balance the classic pot still spices.

<div></div>
<div>

There’s a common thread among thousands of formerly sinful people we now call Saints.

They had a relationship with God.

Which then inspired them to ‘set the world on fire’ as Catherine of Sienna put it.

But, more specifically, it meant they put in the time.

They sat with the Lord. Spoke with Him. Listened to Him.

Daily.

They unveiled their hearts and wounds and problems to Him.

They offered him thanks and gratitude.

They left their sufferings with Him on the altar.

They begged for His help.

My question to you: are you putting in the time?

I’m not talking about time to just talk at Him or sit in church making a mental grocery list. I’m talking about time to build a consistent, honest relationship. Time to speak, and time to listen.

Whether you want to pray a daily holy hour or hit up adoration once a week, I have a guide here from the makers of Exodus 90 specifically about praying a Holy Hour.

Inside, you’ll find a simple breakdown that shows you how to structure your time with the Lord.

8th Day of Easter

&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!

4 Reasons Why the Devil Hates the Blessed Virgin

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>

How an Atheist’s Heart was Changed in St. Gemma Galgani's Hometown | Guest Mathias Lehnfeld

Kyle Washut, president of Wyoming Catholic College, joins the bonus show to discuss the trials and triumphs of family life. He and his wife Erin are happily raising their six kids, ranging from high school to one year old. Kyle attributes all family triumphs to the work of our Lord and recognizes that we are not the responsible party for all the goodness that comes from our kids.He recounts the harrowing tale of their fifth baby, Macrina, and the scare that occurred when his wife went into labor at 19 weeks pregnant. Needing a higher order of medical care to stop the hemorrhaging, Erin and Kyle had to be transported to a major hospital in Denver by plane. When they left the kids behind, they feared that Erin might not survive, and they were told that the baby would certainly not make it. The doctors encouraged the couple to perform a “procedure,” which was a euphemism for an abortion. Kyle knew at this moment they were facing a medical community that was not on the same page as the family, and the couple would need to rearrange their entire lives to prevent the ongoing pressure to abort.Kyle couldn’t return to Wyoming Catholic College, where he was serving as a dean and a professor, while his wife and unborn baby needed him in Denver. As Erin remained pregnant for ten more weeks in the hospital, the entire college met and decided to reorganize the schedules and plans of EVERYONE—all staff, students, and faculty—to accommodate the family's needs in supporting this birth. Baby Macrina is now a thriving five-year-old girl. This story is the greatest commercial anyone could ever imagine for how community is formed in special places like Wyoming Catholic College.

Catholics in Exile (Dr. Scott Hahn) | Ep. 432

As we try to navigate our way as Catholics in a modern world many of us wonder what the recipe is for true success.  Everyone wants a happy world and a healthy country but many people aren’t very clear about what role the Church or God has to play in giving us those.  In fact, however, there is a very clear recipe.  And I like to call it the four anchors.  In this five part series I am going to walk you through those four anchors and give you practical tips on how to implement them yourself.

DGT Episode 265 - God Is The Best Foundation - The Four Anchors Part 1

What starts as a small vice for men spirals into continuous sin, addiction, and spiritual destruction. Today, John Heinen and Devin Schadt tackle three devastating habits that plague virtually every man's journey. They reveal the surprising connection between self-perception and our most dangerous tendencies, showing how both thinking too little and too much of ourselves leads down identical paths to self-destruction. With brutal honesty from their own experiences, John and Devin offer a practical and simple framework for understanding and conquering these universal male struggles before they consume your life, relationships, and soul. Every man needs these insights for the battles in his life. 🔥 NEW Catholic Gentleman Apparel - https://store.catholicgentleman.com/collections/apparel-1 Books for the Journey: LEAD - <a href="https://shop.stewardshipmission.com/products/lead-daily-devontions-for-every-man">Click Here</a> QUESTION FOR US: We love to answer your questions on the show so send them our way to <a href="mailto:podcast@catholicgentleman.com">podcast@catholicgentleman.com</a> Check out the Fathers of St. Joseph - https://fathersofstjoseph.org/ Follow Us On Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheCatholicGentleman 🔴 CATHOLIC GENTLEMAN PLUS (ENTERTAINMENT SESSION JUST LANDED)Enjoy 23 unique sessions for men, access exclusive weekly content, ebooks, guest series, and our live Q and A at Catholic Gentleman Plus: https://catholicgentlemanplus.comHelp Support the Catholic Gentleman by either signing up for CG+ https://catholicgentlemanplus.com or https://catholicgentleman.com/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Victory Over Bad Habits: The 3 Battles Every Man Faces

Every Advent Christians are treated to readings from the Gospel which remind them to stay awake.  In Luke chapter 21 Our Lord says, “Keep on the alert at all times.”  Obviously Our Lord here is referring here to a spiritual alertness but it’s also something that we can apply in the world of business.  To what degree does a leader need to stay awake at all times?  How can his faith help him to do so?  And how can his business help him to stay awake in his faith?

DGT Episode 151 - Staying Awake - Flexibility, The Art Of Power Part 3

In this week&#39;s episode of Catholic ReCon, testimonies from reverts and converts, guest Jeremy Robinson completely opens his heart to share the good news of Jesus Christ -- the Incarnate Son of God, fully present in the Holy Eucharist.

Why a Pentecostal Couple Researched Catholicism

By our baptism God calls us to be leaders of our world.  But where does leadership begin?  How can someone who might not customarily be used to leading actually begin to assert themselves under God’s grace in the world around them?  St. Thomas Aquinas offers us some amazing insights from his Summa Theologica.  Let’s dive in and talk about the movement of the will and it’s power to lead.

DGT Episode 113 - Leadership From Aquinas - A Course For Catholic Leaders Part 2

Are you struggling with emotional wounds, shame, anxiety, or spiritual dryness?&nbsp; In this episode of A Reason for Hope Podcast, Mario Costabile sits down with Dr. Bob Schuchts—founder of the John Paul II Healing Center and author of Be Healed—who shares how true healing comes through a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. Many faithful Christians love God but still feel stuck in patterns of fear, unforgiveness, trauma, or broken relationships. In this episode, we explore the roots of spiritual and emotional wounds, why forgiveness is essential to healing, and how unhealed pain can affect our relationship with God. Bob also shares insights from the recent John Paul II Healing Center retreat and offers practical steps to invite Jesus into your wounds. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re not experiencing the healing you pray for, or if healing is even possible for you, this conversation will remind you that Jesus is not just a teacher—He is a healer. No wound is beyond His mercy. No heart is beyond restoration. 🙏 Subscribe for more Catholic content on healing, faith, spiritual growth, and encountering Christ. -Support our Sponsors-<a href="https://bit.ly/4pd2t9B" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Magnifier</a>&nbsp;- An exciting new magazine to awaken wonder in children ages 7–12. -Support Our Mission-<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/donate" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Donate Here</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Book an Event</a> -Follow Us On Social Media-Facebook:&nbsp;<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast</a>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast</a>YouTube:&nbsp;<a href="https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast</a>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&nbsp;https://www.tiktok.com/@r4hpodcast</a> -Follow Dr. Bob Schuchts -Website - <a href="https://jpiihealingcenter.org/" target="_blank">https://jpiihealingcenter.org/</a>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jpiihealingcenter/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/jpiihealingcenter/</a>Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JP2HealingCenter" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/JP2HealingCenter</a>X - <a href="https://x.com/JPIIHealing" target="_blank">https://x.com/JPIIHealing</a>YouTube - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@JPIIHealingCenter" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@JPIIHealingCenter</a>Podcast - <a href="https://www.restoretheglorypodcast.com/" target="_blank">https://www.restoretheglorypodcast.com/</a> ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction 01:31 Start of Interview 02:43 What gravitated you toward Healing in the Church? 03:59 Healing The Whole Person 05:16 How is Healing Connected to our Salvation? 07:58 How do we help those in our lives to acknowledge the need for healing?13:01 Having compassion toward those who hurt us 16:43 The Limitations of Therapy Without God 24:26 The importance of identifying the roots of our wounds 28:18 The Importance of Forgiveness in Healing31:31 What is a Spiritual Stronghold?34:21 Demonic Strongholds and Lies36:49 Ways to strenghten ourselves in healing 42:30 Jesus as our Healer44:49 The Invitation to Return to God's Love46:42 What Bob is Up To Next

Modernity's Demand

What do you do when every conversation with your wife seems to go sideways, even when you're trying to do the right thing? John Heinen and Devin Schadt sit down to expose the hidden habits that slowly destroy communication within marriages. With spiritual clarity and lived experience, they unpack how small patterns, like avoidance, assumptions, or rushed “fixes/hacks", can consistently unravel trust between husband and wife.
Instead of playing defense, this episode shows men 5 ways to take responsibility for the tone, clarity, and direction of the most important conversations in their home. We discuss how resentment breeds in the silent darkness of unmet needs. Because a Catholic husband doesn’t just talk, he leads. And that starts with the next conversation.
