Episode 8 - Go Forth

After an incredibly successful career in the franchising industry, Robert Tunmire is now using his experience and expertise to deliver ministry to men worldwide. Robert shares the details of his journey, starting with his withdrawal from high school to run his first company and the subsequent business successes for decades. At 40, God shook Robert awake and brought him to a new understanding and an openness to the Holy Spirit. Through a string of encounters, Robert made a monumental shift in his life. He began working on launching and growing ministry to men, including Man in the Mirror, the Catholic Men’s Leadership Alliance, the Heroic Men platform, and the Central Texas Fellowship of Catholic Men. Robert has more than 44 years of experience in the franchising industry and is widely known for his ability to grow companies. He served as Executive Vice President of Neighborly (formerly The Dwyer Group) from 1998 to 2019. For seven years, he was the President of Glass Doctor, a 30-year-old company. He also served as President and CEO of Neighborly/The Dwyer Group and President of Mr. Rooter Corporation, one of Neighborly’s companies. In 1975, as a very young man, he opened his first franchise for Rainbow International Carpet Dyeing &amp; Cleaning, a Neighborly company. After buying and selling four franchises, all for a handsome profit, he joined the home office in 1982. He began working for Rainbow International, which was to become Neighborly's flagship company. Until his retirement, Robert led the Franchise Development team in recruiting all new franchisees across the brands at Neighborly. He also took an active role in training new franchisees and had a gift for building long-term relationships with franchisees.

3 Hours of Wisdom from Peter Kreeft

In this episode, Bishop Barron discusses a recent New York Times article by David Brooks titled <a href= "https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/03/opinion/self-care-individualism.html">“The Morality of Selfism: The Gospel of Saint You.”</a> It’s a tongue-in-cheek affirmation of a culture that puts tremendous emphasis on self, self-care, and self-display. Bishop Barron explores some of the dangerous outcomes of such a culture. A listener asks whether it’s helpful or troubling that the Catholic tradition includes so many definitions of God.

Most people acknowledge that humility is a good thing – something that we should desire.  But most leaders struggle to find how humility can be incorporated into their leadership.  Afterall, don’t we need to be assertive?  Controlling?  In Charge?  It would seem that if I am a leader and I am humble that I am weak and incapable of providing the vision and the drive necessary for my people.  But this is not the case.  In the third chapter of St. Paul’s letter to Titus we see that God’s vision for humility is a powerful one.  In all the books of the bible we find God’s wisdom

Friends, Tertullian famously asked in the third century, “What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?” What does philosophy have to do with theology, or reason with faith? However, on today’s “Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I discuss a provocative new article that wonders what Athens and Jerusalem have to do with Silicon Valley. How should we understand the intersection of reason, faith, and technology? A listener asks, how do you feel about neuroscience, and how does it fit in with your understanding of the soul?

Thank you to Mr. Taylor Barranco for the drink. Fireside Whiskey is a 4 year aged Straight Bourbon that is a nice bourbon to have in your cabinet.

<h2>About our topic:</h2>
<h3 class="p1">WHETHER VENGEANCE IS LAWFUL?</h3>
 I answer that, Vengeance consists in the infliction of a penal evil on one who has sinned. Accordingly, in the matter of vengeance, we must consider the mind of the avenger. For if his intention is directed chiefly to the evil of the person on whom he takes vengeance, and rests there, then his vengeance is altogether unlawful: because to take pleasure in another’s evil belongs to hatred, which is contrary to the charity whereby we are bound to love all men. Nor is it an excuse that he intends the evil of one who has unjustly inflicted evil on him, as neither is a man excused for hating one that hates him: for a man may not sin against another just because the latter has already sinned against him, since this is to be overcome by evil, which was forbidden by the Apostle, who says (<a href="https://biblia.com/reference/Ro12.21?resourceName=summaeng">Rom. [12:21]</a>): Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil by good.
If, however, the avenger’s intention be directed chiefly to some good, to be obtained by means of the punishment of the person who has sinned (for instance that the sinner may amend, or at least that he may be restrained and others be not disturbed, that justice may be upheld, and God honoured), then vengeance may be lawful, provided other due circumstances be observed. 
<h3 class="p1">WHETHER VENGEANCE IS A SPECIAL VIRTUE?</h3>
I answer that, As the Philosopher states (Ethic. ii. 1), aptitude to virtue is in us by nature, but the complement of virtue is in us through habituation or some other cause. Hence it is evident that virtues perfect us so that we follow in due manner our natural inclinations, which belong to the natural right. Wherefore to every definite natural inclination there corresponds a special virtue. Now there is a special inclination of nature to remove harm, for which reason animals have the irascible power distinct from the concupiscible. Man resists harm by defending himself against wrongs, lest they be inflicted on him, or he avenges those which have already been inflicted on him, with the intention, not of harming, but of removing the harm done. And this belongs to vengeance, for Tully says (loc. cit.) that by vengeance we resist force, or wrong, and in general whatever is obscure<a href="https://biblia.com/books/vulgataclem/Ge">*</a> (i.e. derogatory), either by self-defense or by avenging it. Therefore vengeance is a special virtue.
<h3 class="p1">WHETHER VENGEANCE SHOULD BE WROUGHT BY MEANS OF PUNISHMENTS CUSTOMARY AMONG MEN? </h3>
I answer that, Vengeance is lawful and virtuous so far as it tends to the prevention of evil. Now some who are not influenced by motive of virtue are prevented from committing sin, through fear of losing those things which they love more than those they obtain by sinning, else fear would be no restraint to sin. Consequently vengeance for sin should be taken by depriving a man of what he loves most. Now the things which man loves most are life, bodily safety, his own freedom, and external goods such as riches, his country and his good name. Wherefore, according to Augustine’s reckoning (<a href="https://biblia.com/reference/Augustine.De_civ._Dei_21?resourceName=summaeng">De Civ. Dei xxi</a>.), Tully writes that the laws recognize eight kinds of punishment: namely, death, whereby man is deprived of life; stripes, retaliation, or the loss of eye for eye, whereby man forfeits his bodily safety; slavery, and imprisonment, whereby he is deprived of freedom; exile, whereby he is banished from his country; fines, whereby he is mulcted in his riches; ignominy, whereby he loses his good name.
<h3 class="p1">4 sins that cry to Heaven for Vengeance</h3>
1.       Murder – “the blood of able”
2.      Sodomy – “the sins of the Sodomites”
3.       Oppression of the poor – “cry of the people oppressed in Egypt”
4.      Injustice to the wage earner – not paying wages owed
a. Dt [24:14]-15 &#8211; 14 You shall not withhold the wages of poor and needy laborers, whether other Israelites or aliens who reside in your land in one of your towns. 15 You shall pay them their wages daily before sunset, because they are poor and their livelihood depends on them; otherwise they might cry to the Lord against you, and you would incur guilt.

WOF 182: What was the Enlightenment?

Today John, Sam, and our guest, Gabriel Castillo, discuss the captivating journey from being an MTV trained sinner of the world to becoming an on-fire Catholic evangelist with over 20 Million video views online. From his early days of mocking Catholicism while attending St. Thomas University to a moment of divine revelation during Adoration, where he heard inexplicable things and was moved to tears, his life took an unexpected turn. Yet, he continued to grapple with living a sinful lifestyle and trying to be a holy Catholic man. It was a chilling demonic encounter that finally pushed him to seek redemption through confession, sparking a profound conversion.We then explore how to live a life aligned with Christ's teachings, the power of devotion to Our Blessed Mother to guarantee success in life, and becoming an instrument of Grace in the world. Drawing inspiration from the lives of saints like St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Francis de Sales, St. Louis de Montfort, and many others, you will be sure to learn a lot about prayer, devotion to Our Lady, and how to handle the tough challenges of life with peace and joy.Gabriel's Youtube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@gabiafterhoursTrue Faith TV - https://www.truefaith.tv🔴 Catholic Gentleman+ is Now Live - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com (Including a talk with Gabe Castillo and dozens of other content)🔴 🔴 Help Support the Catholic Gentleman - https://catholicgentleman.com/support Gabriel Castillo is a husband and father of four children. He is currently serving as the Director of Youth Ministry at St. Theresa Catholic Church in Texas. Gabriel is best known for his online work.

What is REAL mercy? | Fr. Gregory Pine O.P.

If anyone were to survey the general American public, two things would stand out.  First we would all be convinced that things need to be done, actions need to take place, decisions need to be enacted.  And secondly, most of us would agree that it is really hard to do what we know we need to do.  Even if we know what needs to be done it can be a very difficult task to start what we know we need to do.  It was no different for St. Paul.  Yet he gives us the secret of allowing Christ to help us start  doing what we know needs to be done.

A Tear-Filled Catholic Testimony about Fathers, Sons, Sinners, and Saints

Friends, today we share the homily I gave for my installation Mass at the Co-Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Rochester, Minnesota. Celebrating the Feast of Sts. Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, I correlated those three disciples to what Pope Benedict XVI identified as the three tasks of the Church: worship, service of the poor, and evangelization.

An Evangelical Protestant Obeys God and Joins the Catholic Church

The end of Season Two of The BeatiDudes is here, and we are serving up a special double-header for your double pleasure. This is the longest episode in history…. This episode is actually two different recording sessions spliced together to form a finale worthy of serving as the exclamation mark to Season Two. First, The BeatiDudes reflect on Season Two and their first trip around the sun together. Then, each Dude takes turns surprising the others with a series of TBD Questions for all to answer. TBD Question #1: What is something from your life or a moment that you wish you could change or do-over? TBD Question #2 – What is something you are proud of in your life that you caused to happen? TBD Question #3: What is one thing your wife would like us to change about The BeatiDudes podcast? After TBD, The BeatiDudes surprise call music legend Dave Moore for a quick check-in and a dive into the thought process behind Dave’s masterpiece 80s rock anthem about The BeatiDudes. Then the Dudes enter a super special bonus edition of Blessed are the Joke Makers, with each Dude getting their own prompt and five different characters to play. As the show gets ready to wrap up, Superfan “Christopher in the Comments” surprises the Dudes by knocking on the door and joining the show. He shares his reflection on Season Two and provides the final point totals. The show ends with Christopher joining in for a round of Blessed are the Joke Makers, in which they must all assume the persona of the Angriest Road-Rager to address the prompt, “You know you’re Catholic when you love talking about _____.” <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/join-solidarity/?utm_source=beatidudes_podcast&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_content=30s_beatidudes_spot" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</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>

Looks Like We Made It, Season Two Finale| The BeatiDudes | Episode #100

Recently, Bishop Barron watched several YouTube conversation between Sam Harris, a well-known atheist, and Dr. Jordan Peterson, one of the most prominent and beguiling intellectuals today. We've talked in past episodes about Dr. Peterson's reliance on Carl Jung, and his archetypal reading of the Bible, but today we explore Dr. Peterson's similarities to Immanuel Kant, especially when it comes to the question of God. A listener asks why a Hindu should become Christian if Hinduism seems to have a more peaceful history.

WOF 167: Jordan Peterson's Next Step

After a lifetime of leadership, effort, struggle, all of us want to leave a legacy behind that will be remembered.  When it is all said and done what will your life leave behind?  These are the questions that all of us face, King David was no different, and before he died he spoke to Solomon, his successor, and he gave him his legacy.  By looking at it we can get a better glimpse of our own.

DGT Episode 111 - The Legacy - A Retreat With King David Part 5

Hope can be an incredibly powerful motivator. It can keep you moving forward in the most desperate of situations. But if your hope is grounded in the wrong things it can spiral you into greater despair; particularly if you are betrayed by the people or things you hope in. 

What do you hope for? Who are you placing your hope in? If the answer is not God, you are likely setting yourself up for a great deal of hurt. Are you placing the majority of your hope in yourself, others, business partners, friends, luck, worldly goals like financial success? 

Take time this week to consider what you hope for and what you hope in. Ask God to help you hope in Him and the salvation offered in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

#35 Where Is Your Hope

The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you." - Luke 1:35Our Lady, from the moment of her conception, was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit. As the Spouse of the Holy Spirit she models for us what our lives can look like when we say "yes" to God's will and fully give ourselves over to the actions of the Spirit of God. Mary's fiat led her to the cross, the empty tomb, and ultimately the upper room where she was once again overshadowed by the Holy Spirit. If we have the courage, as Mary did, to say yes to God's Spirit and to surrender our will to his, we too will experience the power of the Most High overshadowing us.<a href="https://wildgoose.tv/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Wild Goose Website</a> | <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hOAVbPbyXfzLijwZdhtcqa9_9bHFiff1/view?usp=drive_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Study Guide</a>

As a parish staff, you need to have a vision interiorized before you begin to cast it, and this vision needs to come from God. Tim discusses the necessity of prayer in forming your parish’s vision.


Chapter 12: Interiorizing a Vision

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father Today Jesus, the Divine King and Divine Prophet, continues the Sermon on the Mount and reveals that not only must men keep The 10 Commandments in their outer lives but must also have a profound inner conversion so they can keep The Commandments in their hearts.  We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to receive the Gift of the Fear of the Lord from the Holy Spirit so he can more fully reject immorality and sin.  We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to receive the Gift of Knowledge from the Holy Spirit so he  can know how to actually keep The Commandments in his daily life.

Our unique Four Stage Aging Process for Ultimate Smoothness finished in Palo Cortado Sherry Casks.

Dewar’s Double Double 27-Year-Old is finished in Palo Cortado sherry casks, this blend delivers heady, aromatic, floral notes with honeyed fruits and subtle spice and the characteristic silky smooth finish.

Innovation comes in many forms, and in 2019 our Master Blender, Stephanie Macleod, released a new range of Blended Scotch Whiskies with a Four Stage Ageing Process for Ultimate Smoothness. This may sound like an indulgence but the series has been picking up gold medal awards the world over since being released.

We believe that in order to do things right and get the best results you should put in double the effort; everything else is just a job half done. So we asked ourselves how we could put in double the effort to our range that was already Double Aged for Extra Smoothness…and it was obvious..double it!

Our Double Double Series has been aged, blended together, aged again, then finished in sherry casks for the Ultimate Smoothness.

About our gear:

<a href="https://www.cuapress.org/journals/the-thomist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Thomist Subscription</a>

The Thomist appeals to a wide international readership in the university, the seminary, and the Church. In the tradition and spirit of Thomas Aquinas, it seeks to promote original and penetrating inquiry into the full range of contemporary philosophical and theological questions. It undertakes particularly to support sustained discussion of issues of philosophy and systematic theology, where such discussion can be advanced by creative use of the thought of Aquinas and significant authors in the Thomistic tradition. In this way The Thomist seeks to cultivate a fruitful dialogue between modern and contemporary philosophical systems and the classical tradition of philosophy and Christian theology.

About the Topic:

Acquired: Virtue that we cultivate by our own efforts. Acquired virtues can be strengthened progressively over time. Aquinas holds that acquired virtue can be a life of continuous growth and progress.

Infused: Given by God alone. Habitual grace is the accidental form that modifies the essence of the soul so as to give the human person a participation in the divine nature. Infused virtues can also grow over time.

Stages of growth:
<ol>
 	<li>Beginner – avoiding sin and preserving the gift of charity.</li>
 	<li>Proficient – Strengthen charity by steadily advancing in greater works</li>
 	<li>Perfect – Whose exercise of charity is directed at uion with and enjoyment of God</li>
</ol> 
The strengthening of a habit enables one to perform greater acts in accordance with that virtue the 1. Promptness 2. Pleasure 3. Ease.

Acquired virtues are both generated and increased by gradual strengthening of reason’s imprint on the appetitive powers through human acts, but “our acts are not the active causes of the increase of charity and the other infused virtues,” just as our actions are not the active causes of infused virtues’ coming to be in the first place. The increase of the infused virtues is due to God’s action, just as their initial infusion is God’s gift.
