Nobody needs “worry” explained to them. We have all felt it. We all know what it means to be stressed. What we do need to learn is how to fixate on Jesus and the present moment, rather than be paralyzed by circumstances we cannot control. The devil tries to pull us into the future and the past, but “the cards are going to fall the way they are ordained to fall.” So why do we worry?

Grab a seat in the pew with John and Victor to hear about:
- The tactics of the devil 
- Spiritual warfare of stress in daily life
- FOMO
- Romans 8:38-39

The Struggle With Anxiety

YOU are a leader!! We are all leaders. Leadership, in its simplest form, is influence. And we all influence people every single day, for better or worse, whether we like it or not. Parents, priests, bosses, spouses, and Christians in general are all leaders! We are all called to be an example to others and to help them remove the obstacles that stand between them and fulfilling their full potential. It's time we take responsibility for this and begin to be intentional about growing our leadership skills.&nbsp;
Fr Jonathan Meyer is a consistent guest on the podcast. He serves as the pastor for All Saints Parish in Guilford IN. We highly recommend you check out his parish's YouTube channel to catch his weekly homilies. Fr Meyer also serves as a member of the Board of Directors for Seeking Excellence.&nbsp;

Ep 6 | Let's Talk About Leadership! w/ Fr Jonathan Meyer

In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Peter Kreeft, Professor of Philosophy at Boston College and renowned author and lecturer. We discuss the importance of philosophy and logic, and why philosophical errors are at the root of much of the crisis in our culture and in the Church. We also consider how we seem to live in a world “without reason,” in which rationality seems to be in short supply and common sense not so common.

A World without Reason | Dr. Peter Kreeft | R4H

“GK. Chesterton says this. He says God chooses ordinary men for fatherhood to accomplish his extraordinary plan.”

During this special Father’s Day episode, Victor and I discuss the privilege and joy of fatherhood. They emphasize the importance of being present in their children's lives and being a positive example of a loving and caring father. They also discuss the sacrifices and selflessness required in fatherhood, as well as the opportunity to live out the teachings of Christ by loving and serving one's family

The Privilege Of Fatherhood

This week, I’m diving deep into what it means to truly wait on God. We live in a world where we’re always on the go, but sometimes, God calls us to slow down and listen. It’s not always easy—trust me, I struggle with it too! But the grace we find in that quiet waiting can be life-changing.

Join me as I talk about how I’ve navigated moments of feeling distant from God, and what I’ve learned about hearing His voice in the stillness. We all need patience, fortitude, and hope, and I hope this episode helps you find some in your own journey.

___________________________________________________________________________

📚 Bible verses for reflection:

Psalm 130:5 – "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."

Isaiah 40:31 – "But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

Micah 7:7 – "But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me."

Matthew 10:30 –  "But even the hairs of your head are all numbered."

Luke 22:44 –  "And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly; and His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground."

Waiting On God

What kind of man are you when no one is watching?
Do you fall to the temptations of sloth, gluttony, or lust? As Christians, we are called to be more like Christ—but sometimes we forget what that actually looks like.

A sure way to evaluate whether we are being Christlike is to ask: Am I the same man when I’m alone as I am at church, with my family, or at my men’s group?

Join us as we prepare for Holy Week, and challenge yourself to become consistent, just as Jesus was consistent. Follow His example: set your face like flint, feel the weight of the wood on your shoulder, and heave up your cross.

INSANE! ... No? Anyone? Bueller?

Everybody is tempted sometimes to question the value of leading by virtue.  Afterall, wouldn’t we make more money, be more profitable, find power quicker by mitigating our leadership into a life of power seeking or pleasure seeking?  Sometimes it seems like people who don’t follow God’s law even flourish the quicker.  Thomas Aquinas gives us a different perspective and underlines the essential importance that virtue plays in leadership.

105: How should we understand morality? With Fr. Dominic Legge

When you’re in charge you don’t have a cookie cutter method for guaranteeing you are doing what is right.  You have to make decisions that are difficult and uncertain and you have to make them every day.  Pope St. Gregory the Great understood this because he had to do the same thing every day.  And in his book, “The Rule For Shepherds” he gives us insight on how to bridge the paradoxes and find a way to leading our people with a unified vision despite the variety of decisions that fill our day.

In this Episode You’ll Hear:
Thoughts from Archbishop Fulton Sheen on Sloth
