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/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Pencil Bureau</a>

Episode 153 - Jesus disarms a bloodthirsty mob who want to stone an adulterous woman with a searing challenge - Monday March 18, 2024 - Jn 8:1-11

It's a new episode of Pints with Aquinas, and I welcome back my friend, Dr. Andrew Swafford—this time to talk about the Biblical basis for the priesthood. If you've ever wondered what the Bible says about the priesthood (or if it says anything at all about it), then this episode is for you. Dr. Swafford and I dive deep into the topic and answer such questions as: - What does a "priest" really mean? - Why doesn't the Catholic Church ordain women? - Why do we call priests "Father" when Christ tells us to call no earthly man your father? - What is apostolic succession? - Why do we need another mediator, if Christ is already the mediator between us and God? - And more!! I think you're going to really love this episode! Enjoy!

218: What does the Bible say about priests? w/ Dr. Andrew Swafford

Traveling to the tiny table from Arkansas, the BeatiDudes welcome Dr. David Wright, Headmaster of Subiaco Academy. Subiaco Academy is a Catholic College Preparatory School in the Benedictine tradition that welcomes young men of all faiths in grades 7-12. Sitting on 1,200 acres of land where you can fish, hunt, hike, and camp on the property, Subiaco was just named the fourth most beautiful boarding school in the world by Architectural Digest. Dr. David Wright has had a long career in higher education, but it wasn’t until he wrote his dissertation on student leadership development that he changed his path and now finds himself completing his sixth year as Headmaster. Dr. Wright and his staff have evolved education to focus on whole-person development as supported by the Benedictine Monks at Subiaco Abbey. At Subiaco, the students engage in a parallel curriculum that includes time for social and emotional learning, integrity-based leadership, entrepreneurship, and more. From woodworking to chanting to Trojan football, you don’t want to miss what Dr. Wright has to say about his school where it’s cool to be smart.

<h2>About our drink:</h2>
<h1>Cody Road Single Barrel Bourbon</h1>
Buffalo Bill Cody lived life large. Born just a mile from our distillery, we honor his legend with a BIG whiskey. This limited wheated bourbon is hand-selected one barrel at a time. Bottled at barrel proof of 105, we encourage you to live life large the Cody Road way.
Grain bill
70% corn, 20% wheat, 10% barley
Serving style
Add a splash of water or an ice cube to bring out the big flavor. Outstanding in classic cocktails like an Old Fashioned or a Julep.
Tasting notes
Bold vanilla and caramel soar out of this high proof bourbon. The sweetness of corn gives way to buttery wheat and a unique finish of roasted nuts and toffee

<h2>About our topic:</h2>
Obedience is a topic that isn&#8217;t talked about much. Possibly because authority isn&#8217;t taken seriously anymore. Possibly because we live in a world that doesn&#8217;t know how to deny our own will. We discuss these implications in this week&#8217;s episode.

<h4>About the beer &#8211; Fr. Dominic Belgian Quad 9% ABV</h4>
In 1875 Father Dominic, a Belgian Monk, would travel to Indian Territory with the Saint Benedictine Monks from France. He would become the first brewmeister in the territory. This Abbey Quad in strict obedience, gives reverence to Father Dominic. His fermented drinks were enjoyed by the local Native Americans and many of the early boomers. This is a dark Belgian style Quad that is beautifully complex with hints of molasses, prairie fruits, and Belgian Candi. It is a heavenly smooth and delightful elixir that is dangerously drinkable.
St. Thomas Aquinas on whether peace is the same as concord:
<blockquote>Peace includes concord and adds something thereto. Hence wherever peace is, there is concord, but there is not peace, wherever there is concord, if we give peace its proper meaning.</blockquote>
St. Thomas in <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/summa/3029.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Question 29</a> speaks on the topic of peace:
<ol>
<li>Is peace the same as concord?</li>
<li>Do all things desire peace?</li>
<li>Is peace an effect of charity?</li>
<li>Is peace a virtue?</li>

WOF 113: Recapping the William Lane Craig Dialogue

There has been a growing obsession with Halloween and horror in recent years. Halloween is now America's 2nd largest commercial holiday, and its fascination does not appear to be in decline. When you consider the argument of this festival's pagan roots, Catholics are often left confused. Today John Heinen, Sam Guzman, and Devin Schadt discuss the Catholic origins of Halloween as well as Hallowstide, and explain what we, as men, can do with our families and neighbors to take back Halloween. Inside of CG+, we also get to answer a question from a listener who is in his mid-30s, unmarried, and wondering what to do to improve his seemingly hopeless life circumstances.

The Wicked Truth of Halloween

Leaders are those who make a difference.  But making a difference requires having a vision.  What was the vision inside of St. Peter?  What was driving him as he led the Church?  Understanding and getting a glimpse into God’s purpose for St. Peter we can better understand the role of vision in our own lives as leaders and how we can capture it.

What is the Paschal Mystery? | The Creed (Pt. 9) | DM In this episode, Dave and Mario continue their deep dive into the Creed, discussing the Paschal Mystery: the passion, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. They describe the various sufferings of Christ and His death by crucifixion. Then they discuss how Jesus descended into hell after His death, and what the "hell" was to which He descended. Finally, we discuss the resurrection of Jesus, some of the characteristics of His glorified body, and why He remained on earth 40 days after His resurrection before He ascended into heaven to take His seat at the right hand of the Father.Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David Hajduk- Sponsors -Birch Gold Group - The precious metals IRA Specialists. <a href="https://bit.ly/3IaudIo">LEARN MORE</a> Magnificat - A simple way to transform the way you pray. <a href="%20https://bit.ly/4btLSYF">LEARN MORE</a> - Resources -Take our podcast survey to help us make A Reason for Hope better for YOU! <a href="https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com/">www.areasonforhopepodcast.com</a>Visit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">www.arrayofhope.org</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">watch.arrayofhope.net</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

What Can Demons Do? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

In this week’s episode, I’m diving deep into a question that we don’t often ask ourselves: “Are you being kind to yourself?” Not in the sense of pampering or indulgence, but in how we speak to ourselves, care for our mental and spiritual well-being, and confront the challenges life throws our way.

After a busy few weeks on the road and dealing with personal struggles—including trying to write a book and battling spiritual attacks—I found myself caught in a cycle of negative self-talk. From questioning my role as a husband and father to feeling overwhelmed by ministry work, it seemed like the devil was hitting me with every doubt and lie he could muster.

But here’s the truth: God doesn’t want us to live in that darkness. He calls us to renew our minds, as St. Paul says, and to take every thought captive to Christ. In this episode, I share the powerful moments when God intervened, reminding me of my worth and guiding me to be kinder to myself. I talk about the importance of resting, leaning on God’s grace, and breaking free from the lies that make us feel unworthy or inadequate.

We also explore how these personal struggles affect not just ourselves, but those around us—our families, our friends, and our communities. When we’re not kind to ourselves, it’s hard to love others as Christ calls us to . . .

How to Listen to God with the Ear of Your Heart w/ Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers

Friends, death is a topic most of us try to avoid. So, why does Catholicism teach we should meditate regularly on our death? On today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I discuss the ancient Christian practice of memento mori (remember your death), and how Christ solves the four problems that death poses to each of us: identity, futility, loss, and the end of earthly joys. A listener asks, what should Catholics think about near death experiences and stories?

A Dram with Dr. Ted Sri

Miracles Do Happen: In this episode, we are honored to have Dr. Ben Carson - the world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon, Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, two-time speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast, presidential candidate, and author. We discuss Dr. Carson’s life and faith, and how he almost miraculously overcame adversity, and went from a life of dire poverty to national recognition. Dr. Carson will share some stories of real miracles he witnessed as a neurosurgeon. We will also discuss what miracles are and the essential part they play in our Faith. -- About Dr. Ben CarsonNeurosurgeon, medical director, foundation executive and author Dr. Benjamin Solomon Carson, Sr. was born on September 18, 1951 in Detroit Michigan, to Sonya and Robert Solomon Carson. After the couple separated, Carson and his brother Curtis lived with their mother. Although she worked several jobs at a time, Sonya supported the family and played a tremendous role in shaping the lives of her sons. Upon seeing her sons’ poor performance in school, Sonya required them to read regularly and to present her with weekly book reports, although she herself only had a third grade education and had difficulty reading. In 1969, Carson graduated with honors as the student “Most likely to succeed,” from Southwestern High School, a public school located in southwest Detroit, Michigan. During his early years, although Carson had improved his grades considerably, he had to overcome his temper. After an incident in which he almost stabbed a friend, Carson made up his mind to change his ways. Upon receiving his high school diploma, Carson attended Yale University, where he would meet his future wife, Lacena “Candy” Rustin. After graduating from Yale University with his B.A. degree in psychology in 1973, he went on to the University of Michigan School of Medicine. After receiving his M.D. degree in 1977, Carson trained at Johns Hopkins University, where he completed his internship in general surgery and his residency in neurological surgery. In 1983, Carson traveled to Perth, Australia to serve as a senior registrar in neurosurgery at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. A year later, he returned to Johns Hopkins and by the following year was named Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery. In 1987, through a ground-breaking surgical procedure, Carson successfully separated conjoined twins who were attached at the head. Outside of his work as a world-renowned surgeon, Carson has been civically active. Using his own life story as a background, Carson has written four motivational books, which include: "Gifted Hands" in 1990, "The Big Picture" in 2000, "Think Big" in 2006, and "Take the Risk: Learning to Identify, Choose, and Live with Acceptable Risk" in 2007. The first of these works served as the inspiration for a film of the same title, in which Cuba Gooding, Jr. plays the role of Carson. Carson has also created three foundations—the Carson Scholars Fund, the Ben Carson Reading Project, and Angels of the Operating Room. He serves on the board of directors of the Kellogg Company and CostCo Wholesale Corporation. In 2008, President George W. Bush presented Carson with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award. Carson and his wife have three sons, Murray Nedlands, Benjamin Solomon, Jr. and Rhoeyce Harrington. -- Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David HajdukVisit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

From Ordinary to Saint: The Incredible Journey to Holiness 

In the ascent towards holiness and happiness, a Catholic man must build the good habits (Virtue, from the Latin, vir, meaning “manliness, moral strength, goodness, valor”) of the moral life and break the bad habits (Vice, from the Latin, vitium, meaning “defect, offense, blemish, imperfection”) which cause him to fall into sin and risk losing his salvation. The Church provides a comprehensive list of Virtues which fall into two major categories: Theological Virtues (Supernatural) and Cardinal Virtues (Human). Because it is impossible for a mere man ascend to Heaven on his own ability, God grants every Catholic man the supernatural help to grow in Virtue through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit which are freely available to every Catholic man who remains in a state of grace; even if a Catholic man falls into mortal sin and loses the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, he can repent, confess his sins in the Sacrament of Penance and return to a state of grace and regain access to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. What a man needs to break Vice and build Virtue is to come to understand Vice and Virtue and then seek God’s help. To help men understand Virtue and Vice and take concrete action, <a href='http://everycathoicman.com/'>EveryCathoicMan.com</a> has developed the Litanies of Virtue.<a href='https://everycatholicman.com/overview-of-vice-virtue-and-the-holy-spirit/'>To learn more about Vice, Virtue and the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit, go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a> <a href='https://everycatholicman.com/litany-of-meekness-against-wrath/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Meekness go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a>

Calvin Robinson's PERFECT Speech on "Gay Marriage"

Most in contemporary secular culture have probably never heard of the name “Thomas Aquinas.” However, his thought remains more pertinent than ever—not only to theology and philosophy but also to current conversations on how to build a more stable, just, and prosperous political order. Today, we discuss the evergreen genius of St. Thomas Aquinas and how his legacy continues in the life and work of the contemporary Dominican theologian, Fr. Paul Murray.    A listener asks, does the devil know that his rebellion is ultimately futile? 00:00 | Intro  01:12 | Bishop Barron in Rome  02:01 | Aquinas’ impact on Bishop Barron’s formation  03:56 | Why medieval thinkers like Aquinas still matter  06:18 | The relationship between metaphysics and ethics  07:29 | God as Being itself rather than as the greatest of beings  12:43 | How God can be both transcendent and immanent  15:58 | God’s non-competitive relationship with Creation  21:29 | Defining true human and social goods  23:00 | Does metaphysical speculation have a role in politics?  25:45 | Fr.

WOF 435: The Enduring Relevance of St. Thomas Aquinas

Levels 1 and 2 aren't bad; they simply aren't enough. Though it may seem easy to get stuck in the pursuit of pleasure or status, we all have deeper needs that call us to higher levels of happiness. It can be difficult to overcome habits that focus on the lower levels, but the effort brings us closer to our true self and gives us a liberating and renewed sense of our real purpose.
Once we move outside ourselves (past Level 2) to a concern for others (Level 3), we are faced with the wider world in which we discover a loving Creator calling us to our transcendent destiny (Level 4) and a shared eternal relationship with him.

The Faith to Reach Transcendence

Gnosticism was one of the earliest heresies of the Church, and it remains among the most enduring. With an emphasis on special knowledge acquired only by a small group of enlightened elites, as well as a sharp division between spirit and matter, with spiritual things being good and material things being evil, Gnosticism still thrives today everywhere from crack conspiracy theories to Hollywood movies to our culture of self-invention. Bishop Barron discusses Gnosticism and why it ultimately fails to satisfy. A listener asks Bishop to help her understand the resurrection of the body.

WOF 222: Gnosticism, the Enduring Heresy

It is written (Ezekiel 36:25): "I will pour upon you clean water, and you shall be cleansed from all your filthiness." I answer that, As the Apostle says (Romans 6:3), "all we, who are baptized in Christ Jesus, are baptized in His death." And further on he concludes (Romans 6:11): "So do you also reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus our Lord." Hence it is clear that by Baptism man dies unto the oldness of sin, and begins to live unto the newness of grace. But every sin belongs to the primitive oldness. Consequently every sin is taken away by Baptism.  --- the Passion of Christ is communicated to every baptized person, so that he is healed just as if he himself had suffered and died. Now Christ's Passion . . .  is a sufficient satisfaction for all the sins of all men. Consequently he who is baptized, is freed from the debt of all punishment due to him for his sins, just as if he himself had offered sufficient satisfaction for all his sins. ---  As Augustine says in the book on Infant Baptism (De Pecc. Merit. et Remiss. i) "the effect of Baptism is that the baptized are incorporated in Christ as His members." Now the fulness of grace and virtues flows from Christ theHead to all His members, according to John 1:16: "Of His fulness we all have received."

Today we're joined around the bar table by Father Thomas Joseph White to discuss predestination. Learn more about the Hillbilly Thomists here: <a href= "https://www.dominicanajournal.org/music/the-hillbilly-thomists/">https://www.dominicanajournal.org/music/the-hillbilly-thomists/</a> Here's a couple of excerpts from Thomas on predestination from the Prima pars: Here’s some of what Aquinas had to say on predestination: It is fitting that God should predestine men. For all things are subject to His providence, as was shown above (I:22:2). Now it belongs to providence to direct things towards their end, as was also said (I:22:1 and I:22:2). The end towards which created things are directed by God is twofold; one which exceeds all proportion and faculty of created nature; and this end is life eternal, that consists in seeing God which is above the nature of every creature, as shown above (I:12:4). The other end, however, is proportionate to created nature, to which end created being can attain according to the power of its nature. Now if a thing cannot attain to something by the power of its nature, it must be directed thereto by another; thus, an arrow is directed by the archer towards a mark. Hence, properly speaking, a rational creature, capable of eternal life, is led towards it, directed, as it were, by God. The reason of that direction pre-exists in God; as in Him is the type of the order of all things towards an end, which we proved above to be providence. Now the type in the mind of the doer of something to be done, is a kind of pre-existence in him of the thing to be done. Hence the type of the aforesaid direction of a rational creature towards the end of life eternal is called predestination. For to destine, is to direct or send. Thus it is clear that predestination, as regards its objects, is a part of providence. --- God does reprobate some. For it was said above (Article 1) that predestination is a part of providence. To providence, however, it belongs to permit certain defects in those things which are subject to providence, as was said above (I:22:2). Thus, as men are ordained to eternal life through the providence of God, it likewise is part of that providence to permit some to fall away from that end; this is called reprobation. Thus, as predestination is a part of providence, in regard to those ordained to eternal salvation, so reprobation is a part of providence in regard to those who turn aside from that end. Hence reprobation implies not only foreknowledge, but also something more, as does providence, as was said above (I:22:1). Therefore, as predestination includes the will to confer grace and glory; so also reprobation includes the will to permit a person to fall into sin, and to impose the punishment of damnation on account of that sin.

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

This week we celebrate Holy Week. As we get closer to the end of this season of Lent, where are you spiritually? Have you been able to embrace the Lenten practices of fasting, praying and almsgiving? Have you been struggling to make time for prayer? Have you been going through the motions with little intentionality?

Now that we have arrived at the final week of Lent, it is time for us to really fixate our minds and hearts on the Paschal Mystery-the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In this episode Jon Leonetti challenges all of us to make the most of this Holy Week.

It's a harsh truth: 31% of men at Sunday Mass lack a single close friend. Loneliness isn't just isolating; it's a health disaster, more lethal than alcoholism or smoking. Heroic Men is a movement on a mission to change this. We work to reconnect men with Christ, inspire authentic brotherhood, and bond around relentless spiritual growth. https://heroicmen.org&nbsp;This isn't just about friendships—it's about forging a community where men challenge, sharpen, and hold each other accountable. It's about becoming the best version of themselves and reshaping culture. This is a rallying cry for Catholic men to step up, embrace brotherhood, and transform lives, family, and culture together.

Heroic Men and the Crushing Epidemic of Loneliness among Men

EP55 Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Today we’re talking about deceit. Being deceitful is what I call a gateway sin. We may label falsehoods as white lies, fibs — not a big deal. But the more we practice deceit with our family, friends, and co-workers, the darker a habit it becomes. One lie leads to another and another.

On this podcast, we learn that:

- Each day we have a choice of living in virtue or in vice
- If you feel your habit of deceit is growing out of control, you should consult with a spiritual director
- Hard things are worth doing and that includes speaking the truth.

Talking Discipline with 6-time World and Olympic Champion, John Smith – Episode 147

When most people speak about leadership today, they mean it in the context of business.  And there are ample examples of great leadership in the world of business, and ample examples of Catholics who have typified that same leadership in the world of business.  But I’d like to focus us today on the reflection of a great Saint who was not a business leader but in fact the Pope, Pope St. John Paul II, and see how his life teaches us about Catholic leadership.
