Is sacrifice just offering up something to make someone else's life better? Theology makes it sound more complex. So, what is Sacrifice? How is the Mass a sacrifice? 📖 Fr.

Why Sacrifice is SO Important | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

<a href='https://franciscan.edu/office-of-the-president/'>Father Dave</a> is sick in Steubenville, and <a href='https://spt.franciscan.edu/faculty/rice-robert/'>Deacon Bob</a> is loving it in London!

A Touch of Class

<h2>Peter Stockland, Montreal Québec Canada</h2>
Joining us in the Pub all the way from Montréal, Québec is Peter Stockland who would have nothing better than a good Irish Catholic Whiskey, Jameson. &nbsp;&nbsp;Having been in a pub in Belfast, that was the only thing they served. &nbsp;Sean agrees that Jameson is in order and pours himself a dram of the Black Barrel.
Did you know that the Irish take their Church bells seriously but their water of life even more. &nbsp;In the 19th Century St. Malachy’s Church in Belfast had the largest bell in Belfast that when it rang the whole land shook and trembled. &nbsp;So much so that the vibration disturbed the whiskey in the nearby distillery. &nbsp;So they took the bell down. &nbsp;Whiskey, the water of life.
Many may have asked who is Peter Stockland, we know him as a man of faith in a world that is so totally dismissive of it that it is a wonder that the waters of faith ebb so deeply within him. &nbsp;Hear about the insane world view held in journalism and how we are called to face obstacles like men. &nbsp;Peter shows us the glory in the Church’s present day suffering and how we need to discipline ourselves to see the face of our suffering God in others.

A Dram with Peter Stockland

For the last several years, the Catholic Church has noted an alarming increase in demonic possessions. And for some of the most disturbing and vicious cases, one priest is often summoned. With almost two decades of experience, renowned exorcist Father Carlos Martins has encountered evil in nearly every way imaginable. From Ouija boards and curses to witches and demonic pacts, Father Martins has battled the ancient serpent in many forms. The Exorcist Files are his stories.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener" target="_blank">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.

As much as we hear about pornography in today's world, there's something we don't hear about all that much: how women struggle with it.

How Demonic Shackles were Destroyed by CHRIST

There’s nothing like the NBA and NHL Finals… unless you count professional pillow fighting. 
In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob celebrate the end of the sports season with a rundown of the Stanley Cup, the NBA Finals, and the rise of summer’s strangest athletic events, including the Pillow Fighting Championship (yes, it’s real). 
But the heart of the episode is hope—the kind that doesn’t come from scores or summer plans, but from Christ. They reflect on the Eucharist, the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, and the graces poured out at recent conferences at Franciscan and Notre Dame. From youth ministry to marriage milestones, they explore what it means to trust God with both our spiritual and everyday needs. 
Naturally, they go off on tangents, from hotel bathrobes and awkward airline announcements to anniversary shoutouts and the idea of launching a Franciscan pillow-fighting team (tentative name: the Franciscan Feathers). 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Bathrobes, Notre Dame, and the $175 Upcharge  
Deacon Bob checks in from the Morris Inn at the University of Notre Dame, complimentary robe included. He’s there for <a href='https://mcgrath.nd.edu/about/centers-initiatives-and-programs/notre-dame-vision/'>Notre Dame Vision</a>, a youth program inviting high schoolers into deeper faith.
(03:30) Sports Wrap and the Rise of Pillow Fighting  
From there, they pivot to sports: the <a href='https://www.nhl.com/news/panthers-continue-celebration-with-beachfront-parade'>Florida Panthers clinch the Stanley Cup,</a> <a href='https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/45565932/thunder-overwhelm-pacers-game-7-franchise-first-title'>Oklahoma City Thunder top the Pacers in Game 7</a>, and <a href='https://www.forbes.com/sites/giovannimalloy/2025/06/19/the-improbability-of-canadas-stanley-cup-drought/'>Canada’s Stanley Cup drought continues</a>. And just when you think sports can’t get weirder—enter the <a href='https://fightpfc.com/'>Pillow Fighting Championship,</a> now with corporate sponsorships and, apparently, rules. 
(10:31) Augustine and Airport Public Shaming  
Fr. Dave highlights a recent In Focus episode featuring Dr. Shane Owens, where they unpack the enduring relevance of St. Augustine’s Confessions in a world increasingly shaped by AI and secular culture. The conversation quickly pivots, though, as Deacon Bob shares a less lofty moment: a painfully awkward moment from his flight to South Bend, where a bathroom break turned into a public shaming over the intercom. 
(19:29) Hope as Grace: Conferences and Franciscan Honeymoon  
Father Dave shares stories from the <a href='https://steubenvilleconferences.com/events/power-purpose-conference/'>Power and Purpose Conference</a>, themed around hope. He reflects on hope as a grace—not just good vibes or optimism—and mentions a couple who spent their 50th wedding anniversary and a couple on their honeymoon at the same event. 
(23:01) Corpus Christi and the God Who Satisfies  
Jesus didn’t just meet spiritual needs. He fed the crowds too. Father Dave and Deacon Bob explore how our trust in God is often strong in the abstract, but wavers in daily stresses. They tie it back to Corpus Christi, Romans 5, and the gift of the Holy Spirit. 
(28:34) Sacred Hearts, Summer Kickoffs, and Marriage Milestones  
Deacon Bob celebrates 28 years of marriage on the same day as the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. He also gives a shoutout to the kickoff of <a href='https://steubenvilleconferences.com/youth-conferences/'>Franciscan’s high school youth conferences</a> and the ongoing <a href='https://steubenvilleconferences.com/events/priests-deacons-seminarians-retreat/'>Priests, Deacons, and Seminarians Retreat.</a> 
(31:10) Praying for Peace in a Complicated World  
The hosts close with a prayer for peace amid global tensions, especially in the <a href='https://www.bbc.com/news/world/middle_east'>Middle East</a> and <a href='https://www.bbc.com/news/war-in-ukraine'>Ukraine.</a> They close with a reflection on Pope Leo’s Angelus invitation to prayer and remind listeners that lasting peace only comes from the Heart of Christ.

Christian Poverty, Vocations, Wolves, and Beet Burgers (Fr. John Burns) | Ep. 349

Today I discuss what prayer is, three obstacles I experience when praying, how to develop a prayer rule of life, and 3 reasons Aquinas says we should pray out loud. Please support our work <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/summa/3083.htm#article12">here</a>. It is not essential to such a prayer as this that it be vocal. And yet the voice is employed in such like prayers for three reasons. First, in order to excite interior devotion, whereby the mind of the person praying is raised to God, because by means of external signs, whether of words or of deeds, the human mind is moved as regards apprehension, and consequently also as regards the affections. Hence Augustine says (ad Probam. Ep. cxxx, 9) that "by means of words and other signs we arouse ourselves more effectively to an increase of holy desires." Hence then alone should we use words and such like signs when they help to excite the mind internally. But if they distract or in any way impede the mind we should abstain from them; and this happens chiefly to those whose mind is sufficiently prepared for devotion without having recourse to those signs. Wherefore the Psalmist (Psalm 26:8) said: "My heart hath said to Thee: 'My face hath sought Thee,'" and we read of Anna (1 Samuel 1:13) that "she spoke in her heart." Secondly, the voice is used in praying as though to pay a debt, so that man may serve God with all that he has from God, that is to say, not only with his mind, but also with his body: and this applies to prayer considered especially as satisfactory. Hence it is written (Hosea 14:3): "Take away all iniquity, and receive the good: and we will render the calves of our lips." Thirdly, we have recourse to vocal prayer, through a certain overflow from the soul into the body, through excess of feeling, according to Psalm 15:9, "My heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced." - Read the rest <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/summa/3083.htm#article12">here</a>. Suggestions for a daily prayer routine Stage 1: Morning offering before your feet hit the floor + Rosary or Jesus Prayer during the day + Examination of conscience at night. Stage 2: Morning offering before your feet hit the floor + 10 min scripture reading in the morning + Rosary or Jesus Prayer during the day + Examination of conscience at night. Stage 3: Morning offering before your feet hit the floor + 10 min Scripture reading in the morning + Rosary or Jesus Prayer during the day + 3 Our Fathers, 3 Hail Mary's, 3 Glory Be's in front of the Blessed Sacrament + Examination of conscience at night.

173: What is prayer? (& How to do it)

Today I'm joined at the bar table by Jacob Imam — a doctoral student at Oxford University. Together we discuss his conversion from Islam to Catholicism. Jacob shares: <ul> <li>How growing up in a split Muslim/Evangelical household led him to start asking some deep metaphysical questions at a very young age</li> <li>Why he went from being an Eastern Orthodox catechumen to choosing Catholicism</li> <li>How the story of the Prodigal Son led to his father's conversion just weeks before his death</li> </ul> SPONSORS EL Investments: https://www.elinvestments.net/pints Exodus 90: https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/ Hallow: http://hallow.app/mattfradd STRIVE: https://www.strive21.com/ 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.

You're Necessary

Today Victor and I are talking about the process of waiting from a Christian perspective. Throughout the Bible, waiting has been a central theme.

What is all this waiting about? While we often see waiting as something annoying, we should be seeing it as an opportunity to better prepare ourselves for what we ultimately anticipate: the Second Coming of Christ.

In this episode we learn that:
 - Waiting is a gift given to us by God.
 - In the Bible, God uses periods of waiting to strengthen people’s wisdom so they can better accept His call.
 - Once we see our lives as a process of waiting for the Second Coming, we can focus on constant preparation for living in paradise with Him.

A Reformation Exodus w/ @DouglasBeaumont ​

There is a lot of talk today in Catholic circles about virtuous leadership.  This is a good thing but do we know why virtue is important?  Why does Catholic teaching emphasize virtue so much and why should it be important to business leadership?  In this second of a six part series I lead our participants through an examination of the importance of identity for leadership and the importance of virtue for identity.  If we are going to admit that leadership comes from who we are and virtues help define who we are, then we see the importance of virtues for leadership.

How to Celebrate Allhallowtide and Other Popular Catholic Devotions

🟢 FREE Handmade Rosary This Month for those joining CG+
 ⁠⁠https://catholicgentlemanplus.com/rosary

John Sablan spent the better part of his adult life being what he now calls the X factor in his family: the one holding everything back. Raised in abuse, living a wayward life, he and his wife stumbled into the Catholic Church, and he settled comfortably into being lukewarm. His marriage came to the edge. Then at a men's conference, with a general confession, and a priest praying deliverance over him in Latin changed the trajectory. In this conversation, John Heinen and Devin Schadt sit down with John Sablan to get at the real roots of what's keeping men soft and what it actually takes to do something about it.

Rooted in Thomistic psychology (which he studied under Fr. Chad Ripperger), John defines effeminacy the way Aquinas did: not a personality flaw, but a moral vice. The inability to deny pleasure in order to pursue the arduous good. He unpacks the trap men fall into when they finally decide to get serious: trading softness for stoicism, white-knuckling virtue as a self-improvement project, making the whole thing about proving themselves rather than serving God. They also tackle why "do you want to save your marriage?" is the wrong question.

102: What is Pascal's Wager

Hey! Today I chat with Emily Sullivan about the marital debt! And no, we're not talking about money. ... Do not listen if you have kids around. Here's a little of what Aquinas had to say about the marital debt. Click the link below to get the full context: On the contrary, As the slave is in the power of his master, so is one spouse in the power of the other (1 Corinthians 7:4). But a slave is bound by an obligation of precept to pay his master the debt of his service according to Romans 13:7, "Render . . . to all men their dues, tribute to whom tribute is due," etc. Therefore husband and wife are mutually bound to the payment of the marriage debt. Further, marriage is directed to the avoiding of fornication (1 Corinthians 7:2). But this could not be the effect of marriage, if the one were not bound to pay the debt to the other when the latter is troubled with concupiscence. Therefore the payment of the debt is an obligation of precept. I answer that, Marriage was instituted especially as fulfilling an office of nature. Wherefore in its act the movement of nature must be observed according to which the nutritive power administers to the generative power that alone which is in excess of what is required for the preservation of the individual: for the natural order requires that a thing should be first perfected in itself, and that afterwards it should communicate of its perfection to others: and this is also the order of charity which perfects nature. And therefore, since the wife has power over her husband only in relation to the generative power and not in relation to things directed to the preservation of the individual, the husband is bound to pay the debt to his wife, in matters pertaining to the begetting of children, with due regard however to his own welfare. Summa, Suppl. Q. 64, A. 1. (see full question <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/summa/5064.htm">here</a>).

161: Catherine of Sienna on Responding to Church Crises With/ Sr. Mary Madeline Todd, OP

There’s a story where a father tells his son that there are two wolves fighting inside him, one fighting for good and one for evil. The son asks “which one will win?” The answer is “whichever one you feed.”

I think we are usually torn between doing our own will and doing the Lord’s, and trying to decide whether we will work for our own glory or God’s. Fortunately, the Scriptures have some things to say about that. Victor and I talked about a great example from the Old Testament: King David and King Saul.

Who's Will Am I Following?

The one who rules by fear will also fall by fear.  This saying was never so true as in the life of King Saul.  In this fourth and final episode of our commentary on Saul as an anti-leader, we see the end of his life.  He ends his life in the same way that he led it:  fearful, controlling, and inconsistent.  Saul’s life is a wonderful pattern for us to avoid.  He shows us that the temptation to control ends in folly.

The NEW Approach to Education (Steven Rummelsburg) | Ep. 306

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

Do you sometimes feel like you are in a spiritual wasteland? Maybe God wants you to do more than just ache. Maybe you should do more than just listen to what is going on around you. Maybe YOU are the guy that needs to ACT. YOU, unworthy, unqualified, underestimating the power of trying. 

In this episode we share: 
- How our hardships are sometimes invitations 
- The excuses we make. 
- The prophets are not that different from us. 
- Fishing

How a Church of Christ Minister Fundamentally Changed Course and Became Catholic

Among the saints in the New Testament Saint Paul stands apart.  He was successful in ways that we can’t even measure.  He was the apostle to the Gentiles, the founder of churches, and the model for evangelizers.  But Saint Paul also knew hard times: riots, anxieties, afflictions, imprisonment.  What can we learn from the things the Bible shows us where Saint Paul knew not only victory but defeat.

DGT Episode 131 - Saint Paul - Where Leaders Fail Part 4

Today we’re talking about how challenging it can be to live in faith. Jesus asks us to put Him first in our lives, above everything else. We worry about what this means for our families and careers and what comforts we’ll give up in the process.

In this podcast, we learn that:
 - It’s important to be in constant conversation with God, from morning prayers to evening thanks.
 - Catholics have many tools to help us grow closer to God, such as Mass, the Rosary, and Adoration.
 - Asking God for forgiveness for past sins can get us back on track.

Can a Non Believer Be Courageous? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

We all have sins we struggle with, and most of us have addictions we just can’t seem to get rid of. Lent can be a good time to cleanse our lives, but we first need to realize that we are slaves to these sins. And when you’re a slave to something, it’s really hard to get away from it. That’s why Victor and I decided to talk this week about dealing with the fact that we often have the heart of a slave towards our own sin.

The Heart Of A Slave

This episode brings you an in-depth exploration of men's ministry and personal development, filmed against the backdrop of our recent leadership summit in Columbus, Ohio. Join John and Victor as they unpack the transformative experiences of the summit, where men gathered to deepen their faith and leadership skills.

The duo shares stories of reconnection and inspiration, reflecting on the powerful moments of community building and spiritual renewal. They delve into the importance of maintaining momentum post-conference, advocating for continuous engagement in faith through regular meetings and shared activities that foster a supportive environment for growth.

Throughout the episode, John and Victor highlight the critical role of authentic relationships in personal and spiritual development. They discuss strategies for overcoming the isolation that many men face today by building strong, supportive networks that empower individuals to actively participate in their communities and churches.

The conversation also turns to the practical aspects of leading a men's group, offering listeners valuable insights and actionable tips on how to initiate and sustain these transformative gatherings. From the logistics of organizing regular meet-ups to the emotional aspects of fostering open, vulnerable communications, they cover all bases.

This episode is not just a recount of an event but a call to action for all men seeking a deeper, more connected spiritual life. Whether you're a long-time follower or a new listener, this episode promises to inspire, challenge, and equip you with the tools needed to make a lasting impact in your life and the lives of those around you. Tune in to discover how stepping up as a leader in your community can lead to profound personal and communal transformation.

You Can't Stay There!

Sometimes, after we’ve decided to follow Christ, our past mistakes still haunt us. We beat ourselves up, hold on to past wounds, and won’t forgive ourselves for our sins. So Victor and I sat down this week to talk about moving forward from our past.

In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why you need to confront your wounds.
- How to move forward after being forgiven.
- Why you shouldn’t try to punish yourself for your sins.
- And more!

Leave No Man Behind | The Heroic Man Premier Issue

It isn’t a surprise to anyone that life comes with a lot of challenges. In fact, there are a lot of reasons men feel tempted to give up hope, whether it’s struggling with habitual sin, difficulty in their marriage, or financial problems. That’s why I invited Deacon Jeff into the studio this week to talk about hope!

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 - How to put your hope in Jesus Christ rather than in other things like money or security.
 - How to LIVE a life of hope in Jesus Christ, instead of just saying you have hope in Him.
 - How to fight despair when troubles come your way.
 - How hope can only come when you are also living with faith and love.
 - And more!

Authentic Masculinity and Intimacy with Jesus (John Eldredge) | Ep. 514

Like anything stepping into leadership requires training.  Stepping into Christian leadership requires that we not just be skilled but also ethical and holy.  How to integrate these two worlds?  How to integrate our spirituality, our faith, and the realism of the world of business?  The Church’s Magisterium put forth a wonderful document that outlines a way forward.  By educating Christians in the principles of Christ, and in the use of the virtues, she points forward a way for us to not only do business but to lead.
