Matt & Seamus Coughlin WASTE 5 Hours | Ep. 402

Leaders want success.  In fact, our people count on us to provide success.  That’s why it’s important to know where we can fail.  Being able to identify the pitfalls along our road is sometimes as important as knowing where we are going.  In this series of five talks, we examine the five pitfalls that plague leaders and hinder our ability to succeed.  The first among these five is fatalism and I am so looking forward to breaking it down and opening it to Christ’s hope in your lives.

DGT Episode 175 - Fatalism - Why We Fail Part 1

How do you make a make or break a small group? In this episode, Thomas Wurtz and Dr. John Bishop talk about 10 ways to kill a small group. They also give 10 practical corresponding pieces of advice to make your men&apos;s group flourish. Thomas Wurtz is the founding director of Varsity Catholic, the division of FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) reaching out to college athletes. He has extensive experience with men&apos;s groups and men&apos;s ministry. Thomas lives in Colorado with his family.

14 Rules That Will Change Your Life For The Better

One of the most common struggles that people have is passing from planning into action.  We all know what we should be doing, but actually doing it can seem an insurmountable hurdle.  How do we pass from having good intentions to actually having good actions?  Every leader has to do this.  St. Thomas Aquinas gives us the key.  He says the fear of risk can be overcome by love and by the knowledge of what is right.  Putting this into practice can be the difference between failure and success.

Is It Rational to Believe in God? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Two young saints, one who loved mountaineering and the other rocked Nike sneakers: Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati prove holiness doesn’t mean leaving normal life behind—it means living it to the fullest with Christ. 

Father Dave and Deacon Bob reflect on Pope Leo’s homily at the canonization Mass for these two young Italians and explore why so many saints begin saying yes to God in their youth. 
True to They That Hope form, they take a lap through the weekend in sports, from NFL openers to U.S. Open storylines to the eternal LeBron vs. Jordan debate. Then they settle into the title’s theme: modern sanctity. Carlo’s wisdom (“In front of the sun you get a tan; in front of the Eucharist, you become a saint”) and Frassati’s cry “to the heights!” frame a simple invitation: say yes to the Lord today. 
They close with campus updates, a prayer, and a warm invitation to share your favorite podcast memories. Saints Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati, pray for us!

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss the fear of going to confession and the roadblock it can become on the road to holiness

Confession

This is the third and final part of a three-part series we've been doing on John 8:1-11 (The woman caught in adultery). 🔴 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd 📖 Here is the text from the ESV: but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning, he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?" This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her." And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. Jesus stood up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more." **If you want to join me live on YouTube for our next Bible Study, then become a subscriber &gt;&gt; <a href="https://bit.ly/2XKORXA?fbclid=IwAR31ZBveb2wfGKsQNTT6BsGOJrfxMfR10xtY09nXzHli8cVKeh4lFvyyA8Q"> https://bit.ly/2XKORXA</a> SPONSORS EL Investments: <a href="https://www.elinvestments.net/pints">https://www.elinvestments.net/pints</a> Exodus 90: <a href="https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/">https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/</a> Hallow: <a href="http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a> STRIVE: <a href="https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> GIVING Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

"Has No One Condemned You?" | Bible Study w/ Aquinas

Today we’re talking about accepting our role as protectors, a vital responsibility in our marriages and families. Genesis 2:15 says God put man in the Garden of Eden “to cultivate and keep it.” As fathers and husbands, we are called to make sacrifices to serve others and keep our families safe.

On this podcast, we learn that:

- St. Joseph’s example of selflessness and devotion guides us in our role as protectors
- When we tap into our goodness through prayer and reflection, the graces start to flow
- The fellowship of a faith community can help us become better men

Protector

Today, Deacon Jeff joins me as co-host, and together we’re talking about taking the first steps in restoring our relationship with God. When we get ourselves into a bind, we sometimes fall into a kind of opportunity paralysis. Truthfully, there’s a fool-proof process we should take when we need to return to the Father and ask for His help.

In this episode, we’ll learn that:
- Humility is the first step toward rebuilding a relationship with God.
- Allowing ourselves to be vulnerable keeps us open to His plan.
- When we surrender ourselves to God’s will, we are able to fully experience His help and love.
- The Parable of the Prodigal Son is a great example of how humility, vulnerability and surrender create a path toward reconciliation with the Father.

What We’re all Searching For with Bart Schuchts

In this engaging conversation, Sean Lynn and Jeff Lockhart discuss faith, family, and the importance of leadership in the Catholic community. Jeff shares his journey from a pre-optometry student to the president of Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO), emphasizing the transformative power of faith and the call to serve others. They explore the significance of the upcoming Global 2033 initiative, the role of young men in the church, and the virtues exemplified by St. Joseph. The discussion also touches on family traditions and the beauty of faith in everyday life.

A Dram With Jeff Lockert

It goes without saying that those in leadership want to lead well, but what are the elements that make a leadership effective, good, and even pleasing to God.  Without a doubt St. Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologica gives us some valuable insights when he talks about how God leads the world.  If our leadership could be patterned on God’s we’d be sure to be doing something right.  In this second of my six part series, I focus on how good leadership makes the people who follow us more fulfilled in who they are.

DGT Episode 187 - Leading Into Identity - Leadership Lessons From Aquinas Part 2

Most couples believe love and faith are enough to build a marriage. But what if they aren't? Too often, the real cracks appear after the vows because they never talked about what truly matters. In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John Heinen and Devin Schadt walk through the questions engaged or serious couples must ask to build a lasting, holy marriage - the ones no one talks about anymore.
From intimacy and past wounds to faith, finances, and family culture, this episode uncovers the silent assumptions that quietly sabotage relationships. Whether you’re preparing for marriage or already living it, this conversation will challenge and strengthen you to love with purpose, lead with humility, and live your vows with integrity.

Setting the Blind Free from the Pornified Culture | Steve Pokorny | Episode #113

I was baptized Lutheran by my Lutheran mother and Baptist father before being sent to a Methodist preschool. In kindergarten, I was sent to a Catholic school. Eight years later, I chose to become Catholic and was confirmed in the faith.&nbsp;
I was only 13 when I became Catholic, so it was more of an emotional decision. I was moving toward what seemed more familiar. However, when I was in college, I decided to do a full evaluation of the Catholic faith. If I was going to be Catholic, I needed to know why.&nbsp;
Should we base our faith on Scripture alone? Should Church history matter? What is God's will in all of this?&nbsp;
In today's podcast, I explain the top reasons as to why I choose to be Catholic instead of Protestant.&nbsp;
This is part one. Stay tuned for part two coming out next week!&nbsp;

Ep 112 | Catholic vs. Protestant: Why Am I Catholic?

Episode 199: What Could I Possibly Have to Offer Jesus? 

This week John dives into our feeling of having nothing to offer. Jesus fed the 5000 with just a few loaves of bread that a boy offered, so why do we doubt what he can do with us? You were born for a REASON! Listen to this episode to find out how to live into that reason! 

In this episode, John points out:

- The devil tells you to “sit back down” and discount your gifts
- A “yes” to Jesus leads to abundance
- Living in the scriptures is CRUCIAL
- You gotta quit thinking about your poverty.

What Could I Possibly Have To Offer Jesus?

Today we'll begin a three part series on John 8:1-11 (The woman caught in adultery). 🔴 Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> 📖 Here is the text from the ESV: but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning, he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?" This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her." And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. Jesus stood up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more."

Freedom After a Homosexual Lifestyle (Kim Zember) | Ep. 411

Where are your eyes? 

In the midst of the storms of life, we are often focused on the winds, the waves, and the darkness, tempted to cling to someone or something other than the Lord. Join John and his dear friend, Fr. Malachy, CFR, as they follow the example of St. Francis in focusing not on the confusion and disunity of the world, but on Jesus alone. Because Francis allowed himself to be changed by Jesus, he changed the world around him. Will we, too, allow our hearts to be the place where the rebuilding of the Church begins? 

Found in this episode:
-Where am I looking in the storms of life: Jesus or the darkness?
-Conforming our hearts to Christ alone
-What am I clinging to other than Jesus?
-Recognizing that Christ is with us now and always

Division And Disunity With Fr. Malachy CFR

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor talk about how conversion is not a singular event, but a life long pursuit.

Conversion

We are officially in the thick of Lent! There is no doubt that the initial zeal of our commitments may be dwindling. Our temptations to break our promises are not random, and we may actually be able to rejoice in the suffering of these temptations. 

In this episode, you will hear John and Victor talk about:

- The REASON your lent is getting difficult
- Being grounded in a “yes”.
- Suffering is the key to our salvation!
- Practical tips on how to suffer well!
