One of the devil’s greatest weapons is the breakdown of the family unit. If that’s true, it certainly feels like he is in his workshop honing the edges of his sword by destroying marriages.Put simply, the Catholic Church does not permit divorce. Just because the government hands you a piece of paper does not mean that you and your spouse aren’t one in the eyes of God. “What God has brought together, let no man separate” (Matthew 19:6).Today we are joined by Wayne Ottenbreit, a marriage and fa...

The journey continues as John and Victor dive deeper into the 7 Deadly Sins. This week's focus is Lust, the "disordered desire for or inordinate enjoyment of sexual pleasure" (Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC], paragraph 2351). According to Archbishop Fulton Sheen, the key word is inordinate. God Himself associated pleasure with the flesh. Pleasure becomes sinful when we use it as a means instead of an end. Lust distorts the gift of sexuality and causes us to gaze only upon ourselves and our desires. What is the remedy? "The only real escape from the demands of the flesh is to find something more than the flesh to love" (Archbishop Fulton Sheen).  

Scripture passages to pray with:
-Matthew 5:28
-1 Thessalonians 4:3-5
-Romans 8:6 
-Psalm 51:10-12

In this episode: 
-Lust is selfish or perverted love 
-Acknowledging the gift of our sexuality 
-Chastity,"the successful integration of sexuality within the person" (CCC 2337), is the virtue that combats lust
-There is hope! Call on Jesus and His Mother, turn your gaze from yourself to the ones you love, & view temptation as an opportunity to choose the good

Stress

In this episode, James continues his discussion with Ryan Flaherty, a local from Ada, MI who attends St. Robert's of Newminster parish. Ryan is a husband and father of two and is passionate about all things spiritual warfare. He is basically a spokesperson for Fr.

Continue to listen to this multi-part episode as James and Ryan discuss why the surrender novena is what every Catholic needs, why pornography is so destructive to society, why demons hate humility, and the importance of confession to fend of demonic influence, and much more!  Like what you hear?

Carnivore and Preaching in Europe AMA (Cameron Fradd) | Ep. 478

When it comes to leadership, I think you can learn as much from bad leaders as from good ones.  It is certainly the case in the life of King Saul.  King Saul ruled over Israel for forty-two years, beginning when he was 30 years old and his life spanned in 1 Samuel 9 all the way to 1 Samuel 31.  During his remarkable rule his faults become more and more evident.  And by studying them we can learn to avoid them in our own lives.

DGT Episode 153 - King Saul, A Rise To A Fall - The Anti-Leaders Part 12

The story of Wilbur and Oliver Wright has captivated our hearts for more than a century.  In their lives we see an example of innovation being the first in flight and proving the impossible can be done.  But their story is more than just daring.  It involved a lot of planning and strategy and their ability to make good decisions.  St. Thomas Aquinas concurs.  Great leadership begins with great dreams but great dreams need great strategy for execution.

DGT Episode 114 - Leadership From Aquinas - A Course For Catholic Leadership Part 3

Today I talk about the Trinity ... and ... you know ... How not to be a heretic and stuff. Aquinas on the Trinity We must needs admit equality among the divine persons. For, according to the Philosopher (Metaph. x, text 15,16, 17), equality signifies the negation of greater or less. Now we cannot admit anything greater or less in the divine persons; for as Boethius says (De Trin. i): "They must needs admit a difference [namely, of Godhead] who speak of either increase or decrease, as the Arians do, who sunder the Trinity by distinguishing degrees as of numbers, thus involving a plurality." Now the reason of this is that unequal things cannot have the same quantity. But quantity, in God, is nothing else than His essence. Wherefore it follows, that if there were any inequality in the divine persons, they would not have the same essence; and thus the three persons would not be one God; which is impossible. We must therefore admit equality among the divine persons. The Athanasian Creed Whoever desires to be saved should above all hold to the catholic faith. Anyone who does not keep it whole and unbroken will doubtless perish eternally. Now this is the catholic faith: That we worship one God in trinity and the trinity in unity, neither blending their persons nor dividing their essence. For the person of the Father is a distinct person, the person of the Son is another, and that of the Holy Spirit still another. But the divinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one, their glory equal, their majesty coeternal. What quality the Father has, the Son has, and the Holy Spirit has. The Father is uncreated, the Son is uncreated, the Holy Spirit is uncreated. The Father is immeasurable, the Son is immeasurable, the Holy Spirit is immeasurable. The Father is eternal, the Son is eternal, the Holy Spirit is eternal. And yet there are not three eternal beings; there is but one eternal being. So too there are not three uncreated or immeasurable beings; there is but one uncreated and immeasurable being. Similarly, the Father is almighty, the Son is almighty, the Holy Spirit is almighty. Yet there are not three almighty beings; there is but one almighty being. Thus the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God. Yet there are not three gods; there is but one God. Thus the Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, the Holy Spirit is Lord. Yet there are not three lords; there is but one Lord. Just as Christian truth compels us to confess each person individually as both God and Lord, so catholic religion forbids us to say that there are three gods or lords. The Father was neither made nor created nor begotten from anyone. The Son was neither made nor created; he was begotten from the Father alone. The Holy Spirit was neither made nor created nor begotten; he proceeds from the Father and the Son. Accordingly there is one Father, not three fathers; there is one Son, not three sons; there is one Holy Spirit, not three holy spirits. Nothing in this trinity is before or after, nothing is greater or smaller; in their entirety the three persons are coeternal and coequal with each other. So in everything, as was said earlier, we must worship their trinity in their unity and their unity in their trinity. Anyone then who desires to be saved should think thus about the trinity. But it is necessary for eternal salvation that one also believe in the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ faithfully. Now this is the true faith: That we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, God's Son, is both God and human, equally. He is God from the essence of the Father, begotten before time; and he is human from the essence of his mother, born in time; completely God, completely human, with a rational soul and human flesh; equal to the Father as regards divinity, less than the Father as regards humanity. Although he is God and human, yet Christ is not two, but one. He is one, however, not by his divinity being turned into flesh, but by God's taking humanity to himself. He is one, certainly not by the blending of his essence, but by the unity of his person. For just as one human is both rational soul and flesh, so too the one Christ is both God and human. He suffered for our salvation; he descended to hell; he arose from the dead; he ascended to heaven; he is seated at the Father's right hand; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. At his coming all people will arise bodily and give an accounting of their own deeds. Those who have done good will enter eternal life, and those who have done evil will enter eternal fire. This is the catholic faith: one cannot be saved without believing it firmly and faithfully.

The good news is that we are able to achieve an integrated life with God and our primary vocation at the center. We can’t compartmentalize our business life (secondary vocation) and home life (primary vocation). We need unity of life so Jesus is Lord of all domains.

Do We Really Believe?

In his book “The Prince”, Machiavelli makes the claim that it is better for a leader to be feared rather than loved.  He makes the claim that the efficiency of maintaining power is better for those who instill fear in their followers rather than those who live the good life.  What is a Christian to do in front of such a claim?  How did Christ live this out?  This is what we want to talk about today.

Mother Natalia & Mother Gabriella | Ep. 361

The Catholic Gentleman is one of the most impactful brands for equipping men to live for Christ by serving their families, neighbors, and the church. In this week’s episodes, the owner and director of The Catholic Gentleman, John Heinen, joins the BeatiDudes for a well-balanced dose of folly and formation. The show starts with a reflection on Pope Saint John Paul II’s use of Jeff’s favorite word, penultimate, in Evangelium Vitae when he states that life on earth is not an "ultimate" but a "penultimate" reality.John and his wife have a large family, including children here on Earth and others in Heaven, and they are currently expecting another child. Please offer a prayer for their entire family during the show. John is also the Vice President of a marketing firm called Fuzati, which is a fun combination of the words fusion, technology, and information. They help clients with business strategy, marketing, social media, and strategy implementation.Through the efforts of the team at Fuzati, The Catholic Gentleman has become the most recognizable online men’s apostolate. Each week hundreds of thousands of men around the world visit their site for articles and products designed to encourage a life of authentic manhood. The Catholic Gentleman is one of our favorite podcasts, give it a lesson. The BeatiDudes have a lot of fun on this week’s Blessed are the Joke Makers, during which they must complete the sentence, “The eleventh plague {blank},” as an aging beauty queen. John reflects on what St. Augustine said about the fall of man and how three things were ruptured: our relationship with God, our relationship with others, and our relationship internally. The conversation goes deeper into virtues and how we become slaves to our desires when we don’t keep passion, profit, and power in check. John and the Dudes take on a new question from The BeatiDudes (TBD) Question Deck: What are you struggling with? The show concludes with an incredible rendition of Reverse Simpsons called “The Bread of Wife Discourse.” This segment was suggested by Jarod Frank and sponsored by his company, Wealth Coordination Partners. He aims to bring his wealth management expertise to more Catholics, check him out at https://www.wealthcoordinationpartners.com/ and https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerod-frank/. But wait – John has a surprise twist on the Bread of Wife Discourse that you won’t want to miss. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a>joinsolidarity.com <a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow John Heinen:</h2><a href="https://fuzati.com/">Fuzati Marketing</a><a href="https://catholicgentleman.com/">The Catholic Gentleman</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

Wisdom from the Road Sean 2

Joel Stepanek is the Chief Operating Officer for the National Eucharistic Congress and an avid fan of great music. After stumbling across the band Black-Eyed Peas in 2001, Joel created a website about the group and their upbeat, positive style of hip-hop music. His work was noticed early on by the band, and they soon reached out to Joel to offer him news, updates, and backstage passes for his fan site. As high school progressed, Joel stopped updating the site just a bit before the Black-Eyed Peas became a worldwide phenomenon.However, the lessons of Joel’s connection to the band did not end with the website. Instead, Joel realized that his love for music and its ability to transform the people who hear it paled in comparison to the similar impact that ministry could have on the world and that is why he dropped his other career pursuits to focus on the sharing the greatest thing of all, the Gospel. Joel is also an author with several books under his belt, covering many topics, including humility, authentic masculinity, and discernment. He explains that discernment is the ability to listen and respond to the interior movements of the Holy Spirit in our heart, and it requires a spiritual “affective”ness and an emotional “affective”ness. Joel’s closing message to men to close out the show concludes with three questions to ask each day:<ul>
<li>What are you creating?</li>
<li>What are you cultivating?</li>
<li>What are you protecting?</li>
