Eye of the Storm
Jake Khym, a past speaker for the annual God Squad Conference in 2020, was able to share a few days on the road with Sean Lynn, riding a motorcycle through BC and western Alberta. He reflects on being quiet amidst the noise and activity of life with all its distractions. Silence is a great teacher of understanding God’s majesty and the beauty of His creation. #godsquad #cmla #riders

<h2>Building the Character of a Godly Man!</h2>
In this week’s episode, Sean welcomes Dr. Phil Chavez into the virtual pub.

A Dram with Phillip Chavez

Without a doubt one of the hardest parts of being a leader is that we have to embrace solitude.  In this series we are looking at the various dimensions or kinds of solitude that leaders embrace and how Jesus meets each one of us along the way.  In this fourth part of our series we focus in on the solitude of risks.  On the fact that when we decide to act we inevitably have to act alone.  Or do we?  Perhaps it’s in our greatest solitude that we find union with Christ.

Episode XVIII Bear Woznick
https://godsquad.ca/
Bear Woznick from a Long Ride Home and Bear Woznick’s Deep Adventure Ministries
All the way from Hawaii, Bear Woznick is a long way from the pub; joining Sean and in a dram of American Whiskey each toting respectively a taste of Jack Daniels and Maker's Mark.
Bear doesn’t look at Bear’s Man Cave as a way to run from his wife like some men would. &nbsp;No his Cave is more what the desert is to the Early Church Fathers. &nbsp;Except for him, it’s a place to minister men in the faith. &nbsp;Bear and Sean have much in common, both real, both evangelists, both on fire for the Lord, both started on an embarrassingly small sized Honda motorcycle.
If sour mash and bourbon is to Harley and Victory, you can guess which one rides which.
This world adventurer and tandem surfing champion, sporting an impressive St. Benedict’s ring is alway eager to share about his faith and his adventures including getting a work out with his wife thanks to a Honu. Come and listen to Bear as he shares about his mana and the manaho he’s acquired. &nbsp;He gives you the secret to being able to ride the 85 foot waves the faithful will encounter. &nbsp;Yes, it does require courage. &nbsp;But Bear affirms, that’s what we’re made for… and it starts young.

S2-Case #18-"Hannah's Story"

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 we hear Jesus, the Divine King, give the Parable of the Sheep and Goats which confirms that He will judge all nations and that His followers who practice the Works of Mercy will receive eternal life in His Kingdom and those who do not will be sent to the eternal fire with the devil and his demons. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to beg for the Gift of the Fear of the Lord so he can continually remember the Four Last Things. We’ll also consider the absolute importance for every Catholic man to practice the Corporal Works of Mercy by building the Virtue of Charity.

WOF 359: Religion, Politics, and Intolerance

What if your lowest moment at church was actually God breaking through? In this gripping episode of Heroic Call, Tom shares the raw, unfiltered journey of how a panic attack during Mass became the turning point of his life. He was a self-described lukewarm Catholic&mdash;comfortable, coasting, and unprepared. But one humiliating Sunday morning unraveled everything, exposing the spiritual battles he didn&rsquo;t know he was fighting.
You&rsquo;ll hear how God met him right there&mdash;in the fear, the guilt, the sweat&mdash;and slowly began to rebuild a man ready to serve. Tom&rsquo;s story unfolds with heartbreak, loss, and divine encounters that will shake you awake. A cardiac arrest at a family barbecue. A supernatural vision through a children&rsquo;s book. A second chance at love. And ultimately, a bold call to help other men rise up and live fully in God&rsquo;s plan.
This episode is a testimony to how spiritual apathy can be transformed through suffering, surrender, and grace. If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered whether God can really change someone like you&mdash;this story answers with a resounding yes.

How a Panic Attack at Mass Saved My Soul: Tom's Story - Heroic Call Ep4

The nature and purpose of the human body was once considered obvious. But it has come under attack from secular culture in some strange and even disturbing ways in recent years. Now, unfortunately, it is up for grabs. The Word on Fire Institute sought to address this confusion surrounding the body at our recent Wonder Conference, "Nature and the Human Body." Drawing on rich theological, philosophical, scientific, medical, moral, political, technological, and artistic resources, the conference sought to reclaim an authentic understanding and deep appreciation for the body—its resilience and fragility, its joys and its sufferings, its transcendence and its temporality, and, above all, its wonder. A listener asks how Catholics should think about near-death experiences and stories. 00:00 | Intro 01:23 | Hosting the Wonder Conference in Bishop Barron's own diocese 02:25 | Why we needed Wonder 03:50 | Understanding the false dichotomy of faith and science 06:20 | Addressing the question of body/soul unity 12:38 | Inherent dangers in dividing body and soul 15:36 | Can Catholic ministries give platforms to evolutionary biologists? 17:11 | Highlights from Dr. Heather Heying's Wonder talk 18:45 | Beginning with the logos and intelligibility 20:04 | The human difference 21:04 | Bishop Barron Presents: liturgical artist Jonathan Pageau 23:06 | Materialism as an incoherent philosophy vs. scientific worldview 26:30 | The intelligibility of creation 27:36 | Fr.

He had an illustrious career that saw him win in every discipline he entered – midgets, sprint cars, dirt track cars, stock cars, IndyCars, Formula One, Formula 5000 and sports cars. He won the Daytona 500, the Indianapolis 500 and ultimately the Formula One World Championship, an unprecedented trifecta in that no other race car driver has ever won all three titles.

Friends, the New Atheism movement rose quickly in the early 2000s, led by vicious critics of religion such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. What made their polemics so popular and effective? And how did the New Atheist movement decline and fade almost as quickly over the past few years?

Family Become What You Are w/ Jason Evert

This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Humanae Vitae, the controversial encyclical by Pope Paul VI which defended the classic sexual framework and prophesied the devastating consequences that would result upon its rejection. As Bishop Barron reveals, those prophecies have since been strongly vindicated. A listener asks whether God hates anything since he is defined by love.

2026: We Leave No Man Behind. Stand with us to build the future of Catholic Men

It's the 4th Sunday of Advent this week so for Word of God Wednesday Deacon Harold opens up this weekend's Mass readings and also looks into Soulful Psalm 109:14-17.

4th Sunday of Advent

How do we share the Faith in a culture where many people don't understand what we mean by words like "sin" or "salvation"—and where the media constantly bombards us with the idea that the teachings of the Church are irrelevant, outdated, or bigoted? All too often, people aren't even interested in hearing about the Faith! Especially when we seek to reach young people or bring back those who have left the Church, we must find ways to communicate more effectively—in short, to make our arguments meaningful. Here, the imagination is essential, but often neglected. In this sample lesson from her Word on Fire Institute course, Dr. Holly Ordway focuses on the role of the imagination in apologetics, showing how attention to language and meaning can make the work of catechesis and evangelization much more effective.

James welcomes Connie Marshner to The Manly Catholic to discuss St. Patrick, the High Cross, ancient Irish Catholicism, and so much more in her latest book "Monastery and High Cross: The Forgotten Eastern Roots of Irish Christianity."  She explains the influence of Eastern Christianity on Irish Christianity, the role of St. Patrick in the conversion of Ireland, and the evidence of early Christians in Ireland before St. Patrick.

The BeatiDudes recorded live at the 2025 Young Catholic Professionals National Conference with Barry Rowan, a seasoned executive whose resume includes transforming billion-dollar companies — and whose soul was transformed by something far greater: the voice of God in silence. From contemplating monastic life to navigating Wall Street, Barry’s story is a powerful reminder that your interior life is your most important asset. He shares how the Lord redirected his ambitions, reshaped his identity, and rewrote the definition of success — from status and stock price to service and surrender. Spoiler: it involves divine nudges, silent retreats, and even the time Barry asked his wife if they should give everything away. (Yeah, she loved that conversation.) Barry’s marriage advice brought great wisdom to Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein.  🪑 Highlights &amp; Takeaways:• Barry’s transformation from a Wall Street warrior to a warrior of the heart.• The spiritual practice of silence and why it’s not just for monks.• The journey of integrating faith, business, and family into one undivided life.• “God’s not asking for your performance — He’s asking for your presence.” 💬 Barry's Wisdom Drop:“When we stop striving for significance, we can finally become significant in God’s eyes.”<h2> </h2><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</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> <a href="https://www.davemooremusic.com/">Dave Moore Music</a>

Gentlemen, picture this: you’re in a boat, rowing hard, but you can’t see the finish line. Who’s steering you through the chaos? Day 31 of our Lenten journey with St. Joseph brings a powerful analogy that’ll hit home for every Catholic man striving to live with purpose. In this reflection, I unpack a gem from Emily Wilson about Jesus as the coxswain of our lives. He’s the one calling the pace, guiding us through turbulent waters, while we row blind. St. Joseph steps up as our model: a man who trusted God’s voice, grabbed his oar, and rowed without hesitation, even when the night was dark and the devil was near.We dive into the rowing team of your life. Who’s in your boat? Your wife, your kids, closest brothers? Are you syncing with Jesus, or spinning in circles, distracted by the noise of the world? I challenge you today: reflect on who is in your boat right now. What direction are you heading? Whose voice are you tuning into—Jesus, the father of lies, or the endless scroll of dopamine hits? Your choice dictates your life’s course. We wrap with a prayer to St. Joseph, guardian of families, to keep us steady.Hit play, Catholic men. Reflect on your boat, your crew, and your coxswain. Then ask: whose voice am I following? References Mentioned:<ul><li>The Boys in the Boat (movie/book about the 1936 Olympic rowing team)</li><li>Emily Wilson (Catholic speaker)</li><li>St. John Paul II’s Redemptoris Custos (mentioned from previous episode)</li></ul>Powerful Quotes<ol><li>“Jesus is literally the only one in your life who knows where you are going.”  </li><li>“You cannot chase the noise. You need to stay on the oar and listen to the voice of your coxswain.”  </li><li>“The decision you make is gonna dictate the rest of your life.”</li></ol>Key TakeawayReflect today: identify the voice you’re listening to most—Jesus or the distractions—and realign your focus on Him as your coxswain. Trust His pace, even when you can’t see the shore.<a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Day 31 - Rowing with Jesus: Trusting the Coxswain of Your Life

What happens when a man grows up under brutal communism, religious persecution, and fear and then discovers that true freedom cannot exist without truth?In this episode of The Manly Catholic, James sits down with Father Peter Damian, a Catholic priest, son of a Eastern Orthodox pastor, and convert who lived firsthand under the weight of communist ideology in Romania. This is not theory. This is lived experience.Father Peter shares what life was really like behind the Iron Curtain, where neighbors spied on neighbors, faith was suppressed, and fear ruled daily life. He explains why freedom, once lost, is never something to be taken lightly and why modern men are dangerously naive about what happens when truth collapses.The conversation turns direct and uncompromising as Father Peter walks through his intellectual conversion from Orthodoxy to Catholicism. He explains why Christ did not leave us a loose federation of opinions but a Church with authority. From Matthew 16 to the Church Fathers, from the papacy to the failures of decentralized Christianity, this episode exposes why unity without authority is impossible and why the early Church always pointed to Peter as the visible head meant to preserve order and truth.This episode dismantles the lie that freedom means doing whatever you want. Father Peter shows how that lie devastated societies in the East and is now hollowing out the West. Without faith, morality collapses. Without morality, society decays. This is not speculation. It is history repeating itself.Father Peter also shares his powerful vocational story, including the role Our Lady of Medjugorje played in his conversion and call to the priesthood. This episode is a direct challenge to Catholic men. Stop living as spectators. Stop outsourcing truth. Stop confusing comfort with freedom. If you want a virtuous society, you must first become a virtuous man rooted in Christ and His Church.This is Part One of the conversation. The foundation is laid. The fight continues.<h3>Referenced Products &amp; Resources</h3><ul><li>Mystic Monk Coffee</li><li>Harmel Academy of the Trades</li></ul><h3>Powerful Quotes from the Episode</h3><ol><li>“Without faith, morality collapses. And without morality, society becomes a disaster.”</li><li>“Freedom is not the ability to do whatever you want. It is the ability to do what is right.”</li><li>“The Church is meant to be a symphony. But a symphony without a choir master becomes chaos.”</li></ol><h3>Key Takeaway for Men</h3>Stop treating freedom as comfort. Start treating it as responsibility. Submit your intellect and your will to Christ and His Church. A man who rejects authority will never lead his family or defend the faith.<h3>Support &amp; Stay Connected</h3>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" target="_blank">Buy Me A Coffee</a> page to help grow the show and reach as many men as possible.

Episode 245 - Jesus is supernaturally transfigured and the Trinity is revealed - Sunday March 16, 2025 - Lk 9:28b-36

In this unforgettable episode of The BeatiDudes, the Dudes
are joined by Jack Beers, founder of The Catholic Mentor and the Integrated Life Foundation. What begins with a hysterical airport story involving a 4-year-old’s surprise ‘hug’ quickly turns into a deeply meaningful conversation about priestly burnout, spiritual direction, and the urgent need for emotional support in the Catholic Church. 
Jack shares how his journey led him to become a certified Catholic mentor, trained in the principles of personalism and integrated human formation. He dives into the powerful work of supporting priests through daily, faithful accompaniment and why it matters now more than ever. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein also explore Jack’s passion for baseball, his roots in New Jersey, and a few unconventional gifts from Cracker Barrel, including a yodeling pickle. 
This episode balances side-splitting laughter with soul-stirring wisdom.
Whether you’re a priest, parent, or just someone trying to make sense of life’s ‘wobble,’ this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and holy humor.

Why the devil loves the idea of 'spiritual but not religious' | Part 7 | Lent 2024

Session 6: Fortitude
There’s no getting around it: pilgrimages are hard. We need fortitude, not just for a short moment of courage, but for the strength to push on through pain and challenges. Thankfully, Father Kapaun is a great example of fortitude, and so are our fellow pilgrims. (10 minutes)

Episode 6 - Fortitude

He is co-organizer of Copa Católica, a soccer tournament for parishes that launched eight years ago and has seen more than 35 teams and over 500 participants. As a result of his involvement with that initiative he has organized and participated in other sports events, including as a referee. This year he started as a trainer for the under-15 team in his town in the Netherlands and he is also organizing amateur world cups. He and his co-organizer of Copa Católica have roots in participating in multiple instances of the worldwide encounter with the Pope known as World Youth Day.

WOF 299: Bishop Barron Presents: Larry Chapp

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?

Ep 38 | What does God want from me? Sunday Homily by Fr Chase Hilgenbrinck

Light of the Saints: Alanis, Jack, Jimmy, and Ryan sit down virtually with Anna Camacho, founder of CORDA Candles. Anna and the CANDID crew discuss Anna’s inspiration for making candles dedicated to the lives of the saints; how a candle can help us pray and learn more about the lives of the saints; and the philosophy behind running a Catholic business for profit. Make sure to head on over to <a href="https://cordacandles.com/">www.cordacandles.com</a> to purchase your very own candles! Some of Anna’s favorites include Battle Cry (St. Michael), Fiat (Our Blessed Mother), and Carpenter Shop (St. Joseph).-- About Anna and CORDA Candles Anna has been handcrafting Catholic candles since 2019, when she started CORDA after St. Joseph gave her the nudge. Inspired by the holy men and women who have gone before us, she loves translating their lives into unique candle scents. Every day she's grateful to make things with her own hands and to run CORDA alongside her husband, Michael. And if there's ever a candle inspired by her life, it would smell like a Midwest thunderstorm, books, pizza, and Corgi kisses.Resources<a href="https://cordacandles.com/">www.cordacandles.com</a>-- Take our podcast survey to help us make A Reason for Hope better for YOU!<a href="https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com/">https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com</a>-- Visit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

WOF 041: G.K. Chesterton, The Evangelist

Born in Naples, Italy, Rosaria Crawford was baptized as a Catholic but never truly learned the faith. At just 14, she lost both parents within six months, and as one of nine children, she was left to work, wander, and wonder where God was in the midst of it all. At 23, Rosaria immigrated to the United States with no English and no plan—just hope. She worked humble jobs, lived through the sexual revolution, and searched for meaning in all the wrong places. But through a series of “God-incidences,” she rediscovered her childhood dream of becoming a teacher, and more importantly, her soul’s deepest longing for God. Her journey back to the Catholic Church—first in her 40s, and then again more deeply after retirement—is a powerful witness of God’s patience, providence, and mercy. 👉 Watch Rosaria’s moving story of faith, perseverance, and conversion. #Catholic #Testimony #ConversionStory #CatholicRevert #FaithJourney #CatholicConvert #CatholicChurch #CatholicWitness #CatholicFaith #CatholicLife #CatholicStories #Catholicism #CatholicWomen #ChristianTestimony #FaithTestimony ▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship▶This is the home of powerful, real-life faith transformations 🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

Living and Walking in the Power of God is both a demand that requires and a catalyst that enables our lives to become like a liturgy that glorifies God our Father.

Testimony: Living and Walking in the Power of God

Most men wake up in chaos and go to bed in silence—but not in prayer.In this final installment of our “Daily Grind” series, I give you the strategy every Catholic man needs to end his day with clarity, discipline, and purpose. If you’re not examining your day with God every night, then you are drifting—and drift is deadly in spiritual combat.This episode is your call to war.  Not against the world—but against your own mediocrity.We walk through the 3 essentials of a nighttime routine that isn’t about comfort—it’s about conversion:<ul><li>Review your day under the gaze of God.</li><li>Repent of your failures with humility.</li><li>Resolve to rise and fight again tomorrow.</li></ul>This isn't fluff. This is about forming the habit of holiness through repetition. This is about reclaiming your night from the Enemy and entrusting it to Christ. This is about ending your day like a saint-in-training—not a slave to screens or laziness.I issue a clear challenge: You have no excuse not to do this. Stop wasting your nights. Stop lying to yourself that you're too tired. You are a man of God—act like it.You want to be a priest of your home?  Then end your day as a priest, offering the sacrifice of your failures and victories to the Lord.🔑 Key Takeaway: Start an evening examen—tonight. No delay. 5 minutes. Reflect, repent, resolve. Make it a non-negotiable.💬 3 Powerful Quotes:<ol><li>“Your day doesn’t end with Netflix. Your day ends with the Cross.”</li><li>“If you’re too tired to pray, you’re too tired to lead.”</li><li>“When men stop examining their lives, the Devil fills the silence.”</li></ol>📦 Resources Mentioned:<ul><li>The Examen Prayer (St. Ignatius of Loyola)</li><li>The Liturgy of the Hours (Night Prayer)</li></ul>👊 Final Challenge to Men: Be intentional. End your day with God or end it with excuses. Every night is a battle. Finish strong. Review your day. Repent of your sins. Resolve to be better. That’s how Catholic men fight.<a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Forget Santa Claus. The real St. Nicholas was a fearless defender of truth, a protector of the innocent, and a beacon of holy masculinity. Born in 270 AD in Patara, now modern-day Turkey, St. Nicholas lived a life of radical generosity, unwavering courage, and profound faith.In this episode, we uncover his remarkable life:<ul><li>Defender of Faith: At the Council of Nicaea, he boldly stood for Christ’s divinity, even challenging heresy in dramatic fashion.</li><li>Protector of the Vulnerable: From saving three daughters from slavery to halting unjust executions, his actions spoke louder than words.</li><li>Model of Generosity: Secretly giving his wealth to help others, he reminds us to give selflessly without seeking recognition.</li></ul>Key Takeaways for Catholic Men<ol><li>Generosity with Purpose: Like St. Nicholas, use your resources—time, energy, and wealth—to uplift others and glorify God.</li><li>Defend the Faith Boldly: Stand for truth in your daily life, whether it’s teaching your children the faith or confronting falsehoods in culture.</li><li>Protect the Innocent: Your role as a spiritual and physical protector is critical in a world filled with threats to faith and virtue.</li></ol>Food for Thought<ol><li>“St. Nicholas wasn’t just generous—he gave without seeking recognition, trusting God to provide for him and those he helped.”</li><li>“Living the faith isn’t passive. It requires action. Where in your life are you called to step in as a protector or advocate for justice?”</li><li>“The real question is this: Are we, as Catholic men, willing to defend the faith with the same courage St. Nicholas showed?”</li></ol>This Advent, let St. Nicholas challenge you to live boldly for Christ.

Exodus Advent Challenge | The BeatiDudes | Episode #5 of 5

A third type of stronghold are inner vows, the promises we make to ourselves in an attempt to avoid future pain. They control us, robbing us of freedom, and can negatively affect our relationships - and bring about some of the bitter fruits in our lives. Being aware that we may have made these spiritually binding heart promises is the first step in breaking free of them!

Ep 23: Inner Vows - The Silent Contract with the Enemy of Our Heart

What if everything you thought made you strong&mdash;your beliefs, your community, even your identity&mdash;suddenly became the very things holding you back? Dominic lived that question when choosing love meant losing his tribe, his home, and the only version of faith he had ever known. What followed was a decade-long deconstruction and reconstruction&mdash;through trauma, spiritual exile, and radical courage.
This conversation pulls back the curtain on one man&rsquo;s darkest moment and the quiet grit that carried him through. From sleeping on chapel floors to leading a movement of Catholic men toward healing and brotherhood, Dominic&rsquo;s story is raw, real, and relentlessly human. If you&rsquo;ve ever wrestled with who you are, what you believe, or how to keep going when everything falls apart, this episode offers a glimpse into the kind of heroism that doesn&rsquo;t come with applause&mdash;but might just change your life.

Ep 100 | Our Lady of La Leche w/ Josie Kuhlman

Catholics often talk about the need to honor the body through chastity, which is undoubtedly of the utmost importance. But honoring our bodies, the very temples of the Holy Spirit, is not just about what we ABSTAIN from doing, it's also about what we actively choose to do.&nbsp;
Fitness, nutrition, and rest are critical to being a good steward of the body God has blessed you with. As a former professional athlete, Josie Kuhlman should know! She has experienced the great ups and downs of constantly pushing herself mentally and physically.&nbsp;
Today, she shares her journey with fitness and how it has become so intertwined with her spiritual growth!

Session 5: Receiving
We often have ingrained in our minds the idea that we must be self-sufficient, but that attitude cut us off from receiving the graces God wishes to give us. The pilgrims on the Kapaun walk wouldn’t get very far without the generosity and support of others along the way. Will you open yourself up to receive? (11 minutes)

Episode 5 - Receiving

Gentlemen, Holy Saturday is upon us. A solemn pause before the joy of Easter. In Day 40 of our Lenten journey with St. Joseph, we confront the weight of Christ’s sacrifice in sacred silence. I challenge you to join me for 12 minutes of reflection, honoring the 12 tribes and disciples, to ponder what Jesus did for you on the cross. He died for your sins—feel that truth today. No Mass, just waiting, fasting, and prayer as we anticipate His resurrection. I also share why silence is vital in our noisy world, drawing from Cardinal Sarah’s The Power of Silence. This episode is your chance to go deep, to be still, and to prepare your heart for tomorrow. Hit play, embrace the silence, and let’s finish Lent strong. Be a saint.SEO Keywords: Holy Saturday reflection, Catholic men podcast, St. Joseph Lent, sacred silence, Jesus sacrifice, Lenten series, Cardinal Sarah silence, Christian men spirituality, Easter vigil preparation, Catholic fasting.Products/References Mentioned:  <ul><li>The Power of Silence Against the Dictatorship of Noise by Cardinal Robert Sarah  </li><li>Immaculate Heart of Mary, Grand Rapids (perpetual adoration)  </li></ul>Powerful Quotes from the Transcript:  <ol><li>“He died because of my sins.

Episode 225 - Jesus mysteriously prefigures the Eucharist by miraculously changing water into wine - Sunday January 19, 2025 - Jn 2:1-11

Today Deacon Harold look into the Mass readings from Today and helps us find power in forgiveness of others and ourselves.

The Power of Forgiveness

"For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit." - John 3:34It's important for us to remember the great things that God has done for us. Often we become consumed with our daily struggles and forget all that that Lord has done. We may also only focus on God not doing what we want of him. One of the blessings of the Holy Spirit is that the Spirit reminds us what Jesus said and what he has done for us. There is no limit to what God has done or what he desires to do in our lives.<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>

Saint Teresa of Calcutta once said, "We cannot separate our lives from the Eucharist . . . Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life to give us life.  Night and day, He is there.

Punch in/out is an audio and video term that originated as a recording technique used on early multitrack recordings whereby a portion of the performance was recorded onto a previously recorded tape, usually overwriting any sound that had previously been on the track used.

Like many of our brothers and sisters today who are suffering tremendous persecution and who are dying rather than deny Jesus Christ, Saint Andrew Kim Taegon and his companions suffered greatly for their faith, and were martyred by decapitation. Even in the midst of such terrible affliction, they did not stop preaching the Gospel; they did not stop proclaiming the Truth.  While in prison, Saint Andrew wrote, “Hold fast to the will of God and with all your heart fight the good fight under the leadership of Jesus; conquer again the diabolical power of this world that Christ has already vanquished.”  Deacon Harold opens up the discussion today and also looking into Soulful Psalm 69:33-35.

The Eucharist

Deacon Harold & Ace McKay continue their series of The 1-4-5 Progression of Faith moving to The FIVE and Soulful Psalm 109:18-21

The 1-4-5 Progression of Faith, The Five

Today Deacon Harold celebrates the Blessed Virgin Mary’s birthday and the fact that she was conceived without Original Sin.  This is not a difficult teaching to accept if we remember that it was God's original intention that all humans begin their existence in the state of saving grace.  It was the result of Original Sin that we are now conceived in a state deprived of this gift of grace.  Mary, rather than being the exception, fulfills in a real sense the original intention of what God wanted for all His children: to be members of His family from the first moment of their existence.  Also looking into Soulful Psalm 31:17-19

The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

When was the last time you placed your trust in someone only to get burned; to have that trust violated?  I recently received a letter from a fifty-seven year old woman who found out when she was fourteen that she was adopted, not by her adoptive mother telling her but from an aunt who told her that she was not really part of the family.  Deacon Harold breaks open Word of God Wednesday talking about the Sunday mass readings and how it applies to our lives. Also looking at Soullful Psalm 80:15-20

7th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

Today's Deacon Harold covers the readings as they speak to us about being chosen by God.  When we entered into intimate relationship and loving communion with God in our baptism, each of us was personally called to do His will.  In the first reading, Isaiah's call begins with a feeling of great distance and absolute unworthiness to fulfill what God wants to do in his life.  It is only after his sin is purged and he is filled with the Holy Spirit that Isaiah is able to see the road clearly in front of him and answer God's call to mission with confidence and joy: "Here I am, send me."   Also looking at Soulful Psalm 27:5-9
