Preaching in the Home? with Fr. Ephrem Reese, O.P.

Often people talk about punishment from God. In reality though the consequences of sin are what naturally happens when we are not under God's protection.

Does God Punish Us For Our Sin? | Mthr. Natalia

Today Sam and John discuss desk job burnout, depression, knife making, Poland and Ukraine, and finding God's will at work with award-winning blacksmith Leszek Sikon. Leszek's journey to the life of blacksmithing is filled with acceptance and growing in unity with God's will. We also spend time talking about knives and the artistry behind wielding the forge.Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lsikonblacksmithSite - https://www.lsikonblacksmith.comEating Tools - https://www.eatingtools.com-- PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE CATHOLIC GENTLEMAN --https://www.patreon.com/catholicgentlemanLeszek Sikon - Originally from Poland, Leszek came to the UK 17 years ago. He earned a decent living as a middle manager in retail yet this career left me feeling wholly unfulfilled. Leszek knew that he wanted to create something that would last. He was used to getting dirty and working with his hands – so he was thrilled to learn that Hereford College of Arts ran a blacksmithing course. The next thing he knew, he quit his job and started training.Since then he has found his passion in producing a series of superb artisan tools and knives, using age-old skills to produce modern objects of desire. His inspiration comes from the history and the traditional methods, getting to grips with hammers, tongs, and fire. Having these skills has paid off more than a career in retail ever would.

Meaning in our Work

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 should you look for in a Catholic Community?

Today John and Sam discuss Our Blessed Mother and 5 reasons why we all must have a devotion to the Immaculate. We discuss the struggles that we have each had in accepting or wrestling with the Church's teachings on Our Perfect Mother. However, and our lives are testaments to this transformation, by trusting the Church's teaching and practicing these devotions you will have chosen the surest, easiest, and shortest pathway to Christ and heaven.EPISODE CORRECTION - It was St. Catherine Labouré that received the miraculous medal.

5 Reason To Be Devoted To Our Lady For Your Salvation

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.
