Why an Oxford Student Studied Church History and Became a Catholic Christian | Conversion Testimony

All leadership implies power but does power explain what leadership is?  From a Catholic perspective leadership requires principle.  Saul Alinsky would disagree.  In Chapter 6 of his book, “Rules For Radicals”, Alinsky lays out a very powerful description of leadership without principle.  What does the Christian have to say in response?

DGT Episode 125 - Saul Alinsky, Leadership and Power - The Anti-Leaders Part 9

Both are necessary, just not always at the same time.

Why a Tormented Soul Joined the Catholic Church and Found Peace Despite Scandal | Guest Sean Mitchell

On today’s podcast, my co-host Victor and I delve into last Sunday’s Gospel reading, in which Jesus’ apostles fight over which of them is the greatest. We examine the surprising way in which Jesus flips the idea of greatness on its head.

We’ll learn:
 - Why desiring greatness is not a bad thing in itself.
 - How this desire becomes sinful.
 - The suffering that results from this sin.
 - An essential virtue that will help you conquer it.

The Ultimate Guide to Understanding the First Christmas

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.

How the Shroud of Turin Changed Everything

In this episode, we hear about how Kelly Wahlquist came to an intense and inspiring encounter with Jesus Christ through studying the Sacred Scriptures, and how this eventually led her to work full-time promoting Jeff Cavins' Great Adventure Bible Study across the country. Also, as the founder of Women In the New Evangelization (WINE), Kelly shares how she assists women to network and mutually enrich and support one another so they can discover together their feminine genius and be all that the Lord is calling them to be. We discuss the importance of being nourished and fortified as a whole person - mind, body, and spirit - in a fast-paced world that seeks to distract us from our true purpose and sets us up for burnout.Kelly Wahlquist is the founder of the national women’s ministry WINE: Women In the New Evangelization, the Director for the Archbishop Flynn Catechetical Institute in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, and a contributing writer for <a href="http://catholicmom.com/">Catholicmom.com</a>.  Kelly is the author of Created to Relate: God’s Design for Peace &amp; Joy, which encourages and inspires women to live fully their beautiful God-given gifts for building relationships, and editor of Walk in Her Sandals: Experiencing the Passion of Christ through the Eyes of Women and Gaze Upon Jesus: Experiencing Christ’s Childhood through the Eyes of Women, which are innovative collaborative works that allow women to enter into their relationship with Jesus in the way in which they were created to—as women.Kelly travels the country speaking at Catholic conferences and retreats and leads women’s pilgrimages (WINE &amp; Shrine) through Italy. She resides with her husband Andy and their three children in Minnesota.

From Mormon to Catholic w/ Stephen Johnson

Friends, there are thousands of religions out there. So, why think Christianity is the right one? And why Catholic Christianity in particular? On today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I discuss these challenges which have been raised during Bishop Barron’s Reddit #AMAs. A listener asks, do you have any advice for a Muslim considering conversion to Catholicism? Links <ul> <li><a href="https://vatican2.wordonfire.org/get-the-books" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">The Word on Fire Vatican II Collection: Decrees and Declarations</a></li> </ul>

Why is Your Religion the Right One?

Over the last few episodes, John and Victor have been discussing the habits we need to build, and the gifts of the Church we need to engage in to find true, lasting transformation in our lives. This week we turn our attention to the most effective way to receive God's grace in our lives: the Sacraments.

The Sacraments are an outward sign of God's grace, and they are crucial to maintaining the transformation we desire. They are gifts that Jesus died for us to receive. They are available to us each and everyday. The question is, do we make ourselves available to them?

Grab a seat in the pew with John and Victor as they dive into the Sacraments, discuss how they have provided sustained transformation in both of their lives, and how they have the power to do the same for you.

I felt it was important to record this video. This is airing in the middle of Pride Month, and Catholics need to have the courage to stand up for Church teaching and state that they cannot support Pride Month. Now to be clear: the Church does NOT say we should hate people who experience same-sex attraction. It DOES say that we ought to treat them with respect and compassion. But that does NOT mean we can say their actions themselves are properly ordered. So first we’re going to take a quick look at what the Catechism actually says about this topic. Then I’ll offer you some hope by showing you messages from bishops who are publicly taking a stance for the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexuality.   <a href= "https://pintswithaquinas.com/understanding-thomas/">Download my FREE ebook, "You Can Understand Aquinas," now!</a>   SPONSORS Hallow: http://hallow.app/mattfradd STRIVE: https://www.strive21.com/ Homeschool Connections: https://homeschoolconnections.com/matt/   GIVING Patreon or Directly: <a href= "https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/">https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/ </a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

Why Study Theology?: In this episode, we discuss how learning more about the Bible and Catholic teaching can inspire our faith, and how we can effectively communicate the Catholic Faith to those who may not have a firm religious foundation.

Why Study Theology? w/ Dr. Andrew Swafford

The world is crying; this cry manifests itself in despair, anxiety and fear.
Jesus founded the Church to answer this cry, but she is also crying.
We were born for this moment in history. No one is alive right now by chance. God is calling each of us into mission with hope and unshakable confidence in Him.

Each day during Lent, there will be a daily podcast to help draw closer to Jesus Christ and journey with Him from the ashes of Ash Wednesday to the Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Lent (meaning “long days”) is the ancient 40-day liturgical pilgrimage beginning with Ash Wednesday (ashes reminding of unavoidable death) in preparation for Easter, and eternal life in Christ.  Lent recalls Jesus’ 40 days of fasting and prayer in the desert in preparation for public ministry; every Catholic man is called to deep repentance and to prayer and fasting during Lent and to remember that a man’s life is short and he must do his best to serve God during the days he has been blessed to have on earth. At Lent, every Catholic man is challenged to take on a strenuous Lenten vow as a personal Sacrifice so he can  heroically set aside his desires for comfort and self-indulgence and in a small way imitate Jesus Christ’s Supreme Sacrifice of the Cross and draw closer to Him.  This Lent, consider sacrificing less than 15 minutes a day to draw closer to Jesus Christ and going deeper in the faith by listening to the Every Catholic Man Daily Lenten Gospel Devotional.If you are already familiar with the <a href='http://EveryCathoicMan.com'>EveryCathoicMan.com</a> Men Meet Jesus podcast which focuses on helping men prepare for the upcoming Sunday Mass, the daily Lenten Gospel Devotional will be familiar. Every day in Lent in the EveryCatholicMan.com  Daily Lenten Gospel Devotional, the daily Gospel from the Mass is read, there is a short commentary to help a man get a deeper understanding of what is happening in the Gospel, several aspects about how a man can become more Awed by Jesus Christ are noted, and there are two reflections to help a man grow in happiness by reflecting upon the day’s Gospel passages, including extensive references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church and action-focused prayers so a man can ask God for help and grow in happiness.Look for the <a href='http://EveryCatholicMan.com'>EveryCatholicMan.com</a> Daily Lenten Gospel Devotional starting on Ash Wednesday, February 22, 2023. If you’d like to go even further in your faith, at  <a href='http://EveryCatholicMan.com'>EveryCatholicMan.com</a> you can find an extensive library of materials which includes Gospel readings for every day of the Liturgical year and a complete set of tools to help you grow in holiness and happiness by becoming a Better Catholic Son and Catholic Father.Thanks for listening to the <a href='http://EveryCatholicMan.com'>EveryCatholicMan.com</a> podcast. Invite others to listen, it’s an easy way to help lead your family and friends to Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church.Until next time, always give God thanks He’s called you to the blessing and honor of being a Catholic man…and stay close to Jesus Christ.

Handling Rejection

Without a doubt our life as leaders can propose challenges.  And yet, what is its reward?  What are we in this for after all?  And as a Christian leader, what is it proper to be in it for?  What is the proper reward for a follower of Christ who takes upon himself or herself the mantle of leadership?  Is it right to look for anything at all?  What does our Lord teach us about leadership and its rewards?

The Baptism of the LORD is Bigger than Christmas | Mthr. Natalia

When it comes to leadership, so much can be said and so much has been said but sometimes it can be a little confusing.  What exactly is meant by leadership?  What is not leadership?  What comes first and defines the rest?  In the approach we take at the Saint John Leadership Network, leadership begins with what we call aspiration.  Profoundly put, this means the ability we have to dream.  In today’s course we examine where dreams come from and how to recover its power in our lives.

Seek to Understand

Jesus casts out demons from a possessed man in the synagogue in Capernaum. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of Knowledge from the Holy Spirit so he always seeks God’s protection from Satan and by being deathly afraid of Hell and by seeking the Gift of the Fear of the Lord from the Holy Spirit so he can also fear ever being separated from Jesus.

Catholic Leadership Institute w/ Dan Cellucci

Dave DiNuzzo Sr. of TrueManhood Catholic Men's Ministry joins Drew Taylor to discuss his guide to virtue.  Dave has been studying masculinity and how to grow in virtue for years. You can download his free guide here ➡️ https://www.truemanhood.com/what-we-do/resources/guide-to-virtue

Masculinity has to do with who we are as men as adopted sons of God. Either a man is being masculine, or he's being childish.  What makes a man masculine is the virtues.  When we act the way we are created to act and do the best we can, we are able to love - which is, "to will the good of the other."  Dave and Drew discuss what is love and what is chastity really all about? The world says being a man means taking as much as possible for ourselves.  But that's not what Jesus showed us on the Cross!  Do you want to find yourself, then give yourself!  "With virtue, we can fight the little tendencies we have, but it can also fight the big vices."  The opposite of virtue is vice. Whatever the struggle is, name it and then find the virtue that is the opposite.  

The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines virtue in paragraph 1803 as: “The habitual and firm disposition to do the good, which allows a man not only to perform good acts but to give the best of himself.”

The Cardinal Virtues: Prudence, Justice, Temperance, Fortitude
The Theological Virtues: Faith, Hope, and Charity (Love)
