The Exorcist Roundtable

What if the end of your life was today&mdash;would it matter how you lived? In this gripping and raw reflection, &ldquo;Final Goal&rdquo; confronts the ultimate truth: you are going to die. And that&rsquo;s not a threat&mdash;it&rsquo;s a wake-up call. From a spit-take over a shocking book line to the death of a teenage hockey player, every story in this chapter is a reminder that life is short, fragile, and urgent. But more than fear, it offers purpose. The real question isn&rsquo;t just when you&rsquo;ll die&mdash;but who you&rsquo;re living for. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Chapter 1: Final Goal

Competency...such a sexy topic, no? Crickets....chirp. We promise you will want to listen to this episode! Competency has a deep Catholic meaning that you won't want to miss. As men, we are called to be competent and wear many hats throughout our lives. As Catholics, as husbands, sons, fathers, brothers, employers...etc. You get it. We all have many titles that are stretching us beyond our ability to cope. But what if competency is what we all should be striving for? What exactly is competency if you think about it? To be competent is to be fulfilling God's purpose in your life. It is that simple. However, there is much more to it then that otherwise why would we have made a podcast episode for you?!

From a young age, many of us are taught to make our own way—to build a name, succeed, impress, and be approved by others. We begin to crave praise. The applause of friends, the compliments at work, the admiration on social media. It feels good, and we chase it. But that hunger for worldly affirmation subtly drives us to do only the things the world rewards, and to avoid anything that might get us rejected.But the world’s values don’t lead to Heaven. In fact, Jesus warns that following Him will divide people—even within families—and may cost you comfort, reputation, or relationships: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace… I have not come to bring peace, but a sword” (Mt 10:34, RSVCE). For two thousand years, saints and martyrs have been scorned by the world, yet honored in Heaven. When you aim to please the crowd, you risk ignoring the will of God. When you live to be holy, you often displease the world—but you please the King.Jesus won’t ask how many awards you earned, followers you had, or promotions you secured. He will ask if you served Him with faithfulness and love. The only approval that matters forever is His. So today, work to hear these words from the Savior: “Well done, good and faithful servant… enter into the joy of your master” (Mt 25:23, RSVCE).ChallengeToday, resist the temptation to seek the world’s praise. Choose one action—whether at work, in your family, or in your parish—that will likely go unnoticed by others but will please Christ. Offer it to Him alone, and seek only His approval.Pray: Lord Jesus Christ, my God and my King, grant me the Virtue of Magnanimity so that I may constantly strive to do the great work You have equipped me to do. Free me from chasing the applause of the world, and make me hunger only for Your approval. May I live each day so that I may hear You say, “Well done, good and faithful servant… enter into the joy of your master.” Amen.

What It Really Means to Lead Your Family Spiritually

On today's Beacon of Truth, Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers is pulling from the Beacon of Truth Playlist and talking about All I What for Christmas from Marah Carey. Plus, Soulful Psalm 49:1-13.

Playlist Edition: All I Want for Christmas

There is no better way to launch Season 6 of The BeatiDudes than to spend quality time at the tiny table with our longtime friend, youth minister, camp director, and culture-builder, John Egan.
 
This episode blends laughter, faith, and leadership lessons as John shares his winding journey from childhood commercials in New York, seminary life, youth ministry, The Pines Catholic Camp, and eventually into executive leadership at Lucid Private Offices. Along the way, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, Jeff Schiefelbein, and John explore:
 
•	John’s childhood modeling gigs, his quick detour through seminary, and how ministry prepared him for business leadership.
•	Years spent at The Pines Catholic Camp, living faith with family and showing young people what authentic Catholic marriage looks like.
•	Faith in the Secular Workplace: How to bring joy, prayer, and servant leadership into a for-profit setting without compromise.
•	Culture That Sticks: Building a team where people *want* to come to work
•	Humor Meets Holiness: From Ghostbusters nicknames to “snap snap snap” applause, the BeatiDudes keep the joy flowing while grounding the conversation in Christ and community.
 
John’s story reminds us that where you work matters, not just for productivity but for people. Whether leading at camp, selling cars with integrity, or shaping culture in business, he models how faith and joy overflow when Christ is the true foundation.

Faith and Joy at Work | John Egan | Episode #251

Jon Leonetti reflects on the imagery of fire associated with Pentecost and the Holy Spirit.  Throughout scripture God utilizes simple but powerful images to help us understand know Him and His will.  This week take time to consider the subtle ways God is speaking to you and how the Holy Spirit is operating in your life.

#25 Pentecost

The BeatiDudes welcome back Raffaele D’Apolito for an extended, wildly entertaining, and surprisingly profound conversation that stretches from the Vatican Valley to the virtual cockpit. Building on Monday’s episode, this deeper dive explores Raffaele’s early fascination with flight, his time at an Italian military school, and the heartbreaking moment when his lifelong dream of becoming a military pilot was grounded. What unfolds is a powerful reflection on identity, suffering, and the long view of God’s providence, told with humor, humility, and a healthy dose of Italian charm.
Along the way, Raffaele shares how those early disappointments shaped his entrepreneurial journey, including years of costly mistakes, hard lessons, and eventual clarity around vocation, faith, and freedom. The conversation weaves together faith, masculinity, accountability, and ambition, reminding listeners that setbacks often become the very instruments God uses to form us. Joined by the Dudes Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein, this bonus episode is equal parts laughter and wisdom, with strong encouragement for any man wrestling with unfulfilled dreams, delayed success, or the temptation to measure God’s favor by worldly outcomes.

What's In a Name?

The Andrew Tate phenomenon has hit the world by storm. While he has preached particularly to young men and how to better themselves, today Father Dom and James tackle his recent conversion to Islam and some comments he made regarding why Christianity is not the true religion. Can masculinity and religion coexist harmoniously? We're hitting the ground running today with an audacious exploration of masculinity in Catholicism, spurred by a recent video from Andrew Tate, who held the world's attention as he converted to Islam. Our discussion burrows deep into Tate's perspective on his conversion and masculinity, illuminating his journey from Christianity to Islam.  We're tearing down misconceptions and stereotypes about Catholicism, grace, and masculinity, showing you that these elements are not at odds but can indeed coexist and enrich men's lives. We're also taking you through the history of the Latin Mass, the fall and rise of traditional Catholic teachings, and the epic power of Jesus, who was anything but weak. After all, Jesus is the epitome of what it means to be a man. With the world caught in a swirling storm of secularism, relativism, and hedonism, we're holding the torch high, reminding you of the strength, discipline, and unshakable resolve found in the Catholic faith. Keep an open mind, tune in, and let's walk this enlightening path of faith, strength, and masculinity together.<a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a href="https://exodus90.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Exodus 90</a> Gain freedom.

Ep 98 - Is Catholicism Manly? Why Andrew Tate is Wrong About Jesus and His Church

You can&rsquo;t live as a true Christian man on your own. In Chapter Four, Holy Spirit, we enter the heart of power, purpose, and surrender. This chapter kicks off a four-part focus on the forgotten third person of the Trinity&mdash;who isn&rsquo;t just a &ldquo;spiritual idea&rdquo; but the fire and force that makes Christian living possible. &ldquo;You will receive power,&rdquo; Jesus said. And most of us are still trying to live without it. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

St. Joseph Found His Voice. Men Need Theirs with Jose Miguel Pulido | Ep 15

In this episode of The Manly Catholic, we dive into the life of St. Blaise, a bishop, healer, and courageous martyr who lived during the brutal persecution of Christians under Emperor Licinius. While many know him as the patron saint of throat ailments, his story is filled with miraculous healings, unwavering faith, and powerful lessons for Catholic men today.Discover how St. Blaise’s steadfast trust in God, even in the face of torture and death, serves as a blueprint for men striving to lead, protect, and heal in their own homes and communities. You’ll also learn about the powerful tradition of the Blessing of the Throats, which continues to be practiced in Catholic churches worldwide.Join us as we explore:<ul><li>How St. Blaise’s dual vocations as a physician and bishop show us the importance of both physical and spiritual healing.</li><li>The miraculous stories of wild animals seeking his help and the mother who pleaded for her choking child.</li><li>His courageous witness to the faith and how we, as Catholic men, are called to stand firm in spiritual battles today.</li></ul>3 Actionable Takeaways for Men Today:<ol><li>Pray for Courage: St. Blaise refused to renounce Christ, even under torture. Today, take 5 minutes to ask God for the strength to stand firm in your faith, especially in moments of adversity.</li><li>Be a Healer in Your Home: Whether it’s listening to your wife, spending intentional time with your children, or helping a friend in need, seek to be a source of healing—both physically and spiritually—just as St. Blaise was.</li><li>Prepare for Spiritual Warfare: Like St. Blaise, who used his time in the cave for prayer and penance, carve out time for silence today. Turn off distractions and spend at least 10 minutes in quiet reflection or reading Scripture.</li></ol>Support the Podcast: Enjoying The Manly Catholic?

Sanctifying Saints - St. Blaise: The Bishop, the Healer, and the Warrior of Faith

Is it manly to love? Love is a word that is floated around too often in our society without much attachment. We say "I love you," "I love spaghetti!", "I love lamp!" Thanks, Brick. But to truly love as a Catholic man might be a bit trickier than you think. Bishop Barron often states, "To love is to will the good of the other as other." What the heck does that mean?! Well, you will have to listen to find out more! Join James and Father Dom on another amazing episode diving deeper "Into the Breach." They discuss how a Catholic man loves as a friend and a husband. Somehow Father Dom asks the audience to buy him a red Ferrari that he will donate to charity. They give a shout-out to the amazing Catholic expert on Humanae Vitae, sexuality, and bioethics Dr. Smith Janet Smith. They dive deeper into why pornography is destroying men and why the battle for chastity is man's greatest challenge today. Wow, that was a lot! Be sure to check out all the resources for more great information to dive deeper and join the discussion.

DO NOT FORGET Father Dom's Challenge! This is probably the toughest one yet. Honestly and prayerfully, ask the Holy Spirit about the people you surround yourself with.  Ask yourself, are these relationships bringing me closer to Christ or away from Christ? If away, it may be time to cut the cord on the relationship.

Ep. 5 - Is It Manly To Love?

What makes a life worth living? Fresh from leading a pilgrimage through Greece, John shares the impact of walking in the footsteps of St. Paul and how true discipleship means boldly proclaiming the Gospel no matter the cost. He and Victor reflect on courage, martyrdom, spiritual warfare, and the everyday call for Christians to live with conviction instead of comfort.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to live with real purpose and faith, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to embrace a life worth living.

A Life Worth Living

Hell fears the saints. Men have forgotten this. In this powerful conversation with author Patrick O’Hearn, we confront the reality of spiritual warfare and the heavenly allies God gives us for the fight. Patrick’s new book, <a href="https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-most-powerful-saints-in-exorcisms/?oid=782&amp;affid=80" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Most Powerful Saints in Exorcisms</a>, breaks open what every Catholic man needs to reclaim today: the saints are not passive figures from the past. They are trained warriors who continue to strike terror into demons and aid God’s people on the battlefield.This episode is a wake-up call. We explore why demons recoil at the names of the saints, why certain saints appear in exorcisms, the role of relics, and the mysterious way in which the saints continue their earthly mission by assisting us. Patrick explains why Mary is the “closer”, why Padre Pio, Mother Teresa, St. John Paul II, and St. Carlo Acutis are showing up in modern cases, and how every man can build real relationships with the saints who want to fight beside him.This episode challenges you to reject passive Christianity. To stop treating the saints as distant memories. To begin calling on them with confidence, asking specifically for their virtues, and living a life that strikes at hell instead of hiding from it.If you need a reminder that heaven is not silent and that you are not fighting alone, hit play. The saints are real, they are near, and they are powerful. But their help depends on whether you reach for them.Products / Resources Mentioned• <a href="https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-most-powerful-saints-in-exorcisms/?oid=782&amp;affid=80" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Most Powerful Saints in Exorcisms </a>– Sophia Institute Press • <a href="https://slayingdragonspress.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Slaying Dragons Press</a> (Charles Fraune’s works) • <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Deliverance-Prayers-Fr-Chad-Ripperger/dp/154105671X" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Deliverance Prayers for the Laity</a> – Fr.

Ep 177 - The Saints Who Terrify Hell: Patrick O’Hearn on Spiritual Warfare and the Heavenly Warriors Fighting for You

<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/129Yvn3eFe5aWlLN2CdhVaJMmAPCtiP_L/view?usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Guidebook</a> | <a href="https://www.cioccacenter.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ciocca Center</a> | The final episode of The Gospel of Work emphasizes that the desire for a work-life balance is a desire for unity in God. 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.

Ash Wednesday is here, and with it, the challenge to reclaim your soul for Christ. In this episode, we dive into the heart of Lent—what it truly means to fast, pray, and give alms as warriors of Christ, not as comfortable, lukewarm Christians. This is not just a season of self-denial; it is a battle against the three enemies of your soul: the world, the flesh, and the devil.Are you ready to fight? In this episode, I lay out a direct challenge for you: push yourself this Lent. If you've been soft, if you've let your passions control you, if you've allowed distractions to steal your time with God, then it's time to declare war on your heart.This isn't about doing Lent halfway. This is about transformation. It's about walking into Easter as a new man, purified, disciplined, and ready to lead.Powerful Quotes:<ol><li>“You don’t rend your heart to the world, the flesh, or to Satan. You rend it to Christ alone.”</li><li>“The Christians of old were made of granite. Have we grown soft? Lent is the time to prove otherwise.”</li><li>“Fasting is not just about giving something up—it’s about making war on what keeps you from God.”</li></ol>Pick something hard: something that actually challenges you, and give it up for Lent. If alcohol is a struggle, give it up. If you waste hours in a YouTube vortex, shut it down. Rend your heart to Christ and let Him do the work of cleansing you. This is not about checking a box. It’s about preparing your soul for eternity.This is your call to arms. Lent is not a season to endure—it’s a season to rise. Will you take the challenge?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!

CANDID - Can There Be Married Priests?

Guest - Jimmy Sagers

Each of us is called in our own unrepeatable way to continue the “work” of creation. Our path to salvation is through our participation in the redemptive work of Christ. In Episode Three, Andreas Widmer explains that we are made in the image of a creating God. Therefore we are creative beings and we call that creating “work”. He explores how we are invited to participate in the redemptive work of Jesus through our daily work.

For all his talk about seeing the “totality” of the solar eclipse last Monday, <a href='https://franciscan.edu/office-of-the-president/'>Father Dave</a> didn’t even go! Thankfully, <a href='https://spt.franciscan.edu/faculty/rice-robert/'>Deacon Bob</a> did.
They talk about the end of March Madness, Banana Ball, the NAIA’s decision not to allow biological males in women’s sports, Divine Mercy, and a retreat for mothers and daughters.

Caleb Campbell had everything he thought he wanted, crowds cheering, a spot in the NFL, and a life that looked perfect from the outside. But inside, he was falling apart, until one morning he realized he didn&rsquo;t even know who he was anymore. He walked away from it all and ended up alone in a boiler room, starting over and facing the pain he had spent years running from. Now he tells others that the hardest part, letting your old life die, is also the start of becoming fully alive.

Tasting Notes: Nose opens with spicy oak and toffee, which is followed by more toffee and fudge notes on the palate, as well as subtle hints of sherry. The bourbon cask finishing leads to a smooth, vanilla finish, brightened by previous notes of toffee and caramel.

FORTITUDE is a no-nonsense advice book for finding the strength to deal with everything from menial daily frustrations to truly difficult challenges. More than that, it is a roadmap for a more resilient American culture. With meditations on perseverance, failure, and finding much-needed heroes, the book is the antidote for a prevailing "safety culture" of trigger warnings and safe spaces. Interspersed with lessons from history and psychology is Crenshaw's own story of how an average American kid from the Houston suburbs went from war zones to the halls of Congress -- and managed to navigate his path with a sense of humor and an even greater sense that, no matter what anyone else around us says or does, we are in control of our own destiny.

Have you ever wondered how one could have a profound love for both God and fried chicken? Meet our guest, Father David Michael Moses, a man of faith with a deep liking for Chick-fil-A and Raising Canes. Listen in as he shares his spiritual journey, his surprising experiences as a priest, and why the call to love like Christ’s love is a cornerstone of his faith. Father David Michael is known for making faith accessible and connecting with the community through his vibrant social media presence. Confession may seem daunting to many, but Father David reveals why it's a rewarding sacrament and an opportunity for people to restore their relationship with God. He has also started two incredible projects: the Pilgrim Rosary and Concert for Life. The former is a thoughtfully crafted initiative that unites people across the globe through the simple act of prayer. The latter is an annual fundraising event for local pregnancy centers that has raised a whopping $145,000 this year alone. Join us as we hear from this incredible priest who challenges us into a deeper relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Like what you heard?

Ep 92 - Father David Michael Moses: A Journey of Faith, Fast Food, and Fervor

Dive into this powerful series of videos featuring Catholic men from across Canada who are stepping up, speaking out, and sharing their journeys of faith and brotherhood. These aren't just interviews&mdash;they're bold testimonies of transformation, struggle, and victory.

Heroic Men Canada

Men, ever feel crushed under the weight of chasing more? More money. More stuff, more status? In Day 19 (I know I said 9) of our Lenten Reflections series, we’re tackling St. Joseph as the "Lover of Poverty;" a guy who didn’t just survive with less but thrived in it, guarding the Savior with a hammer and a heart full of trust. This isn’t about hating wealth or going broke; it’s about stripping life down to what counts and letting God fill the gaps. We’ll dive into how Joseph’s simple carpenter life in Nazareth, his flight to Egypt with just the Magi’s gifts, and his offering of two doves at the temple scream reliance on divine providence. Father Calloway calls him dirt-poor, yet St. Francis de Sales saw angels marveling at his humility.

Day 19 - Why St. Joseph Loved Having Less (And You Can Too)

No Vacation From God
Father Mariusz Sztuk, another of the original members of the Riders, shares his impressions about how, when on a vacation our faith can be manifest in ways that may be outside of our normal. The riders have always been grateful to have a priest with them on their trips to be able to offer the sacraments to them. While traveling, besides their daily Mass, the men try to demonstrate their faith in public to others around them to hopefully engage with them. Father talks about how even just making the sign of the cross and praying grace at meal times in restaurants can be a witness to faith and may open doors for others who are searching.

Wisdom from the Road with Fr Mariusz

What happens when you pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet in St. Faustina’s backyard? 
This week, Father Dave shares powerful moments from his recent pilgrimage to Poland—visiting sacred sites tied to St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Faustina, and St. John Paul II. From celebrating Mass at Kolbe’s friary to walking through Auschwitz and Birkenau, it’s a glimpse of God’s mercy amid some of history’s darkest places. 
While Father Dave walked in the footsteps of saints, Deacon Bob found hopeful witness in the desert. He returns from the Life Teen Catholic Youth Ministry Convention in Arizona, where he gave a talk on “Radiant Hope” and reconnected with longtime friends in ministry. Together, the hosts reflect on the quiet, often unseen ways God raises up saints in every generation—even in the most unexpected places. 
And yes, this episode still includes classic They That Hope moments: breakfast with Father Dave’s brother Tom, a temporarily misplaced child on the New York subway, and a burning question: Why does the French Open have two names? 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Breakfast with Tom, Arizona Adventures, and Youth Ministry in the Desert  
Deacon Bob recounts his recent trip to Arizona for the <a href='https://lifeteen.com/events/catholic-youth-ministry-convention/'>Life Teen Catholic Youth Ministry Convention</a> where he reconnected with ministry leaders and gave a keynote on “Radiant Hope.” He also shares a surprise breakfast meet-up with Father Dave’s brother, Tom (a loyal listener), some humorous travel woes, and the joy of being surrounded by those serving the Church’s youth. 
(04:08) Sports Recap: NBA, NHL, Tennis, and... Golf?  
From unexpected NBA playoff upsets to a grueling five-set French Open final, Father Dave and Deacon Bob weigh in on recent sports headlines. They touch on the drama of playoff hockey, marvel at <a href='https://www.golfdigest.com/story/jj-spauns-walk-off-winning-putt'>JJ Spaun’s 62-foot putt</a>, and clear up (sort of) why the French Open is also called Roland-Garros. 
(09:01) Audiobook Adventures  
Deacon Bob announces that his book <a href='https://www.osvcatholicbookstore.com/sharing-the-gospel-with-our-lives-a-relational-approach-to-catholic-youth-ministry.html'>Sharing the Gospel with Our Lives</a> is getting the audiobook treatment—and he’s narrating it himself. He shares the process (including a mysterious home studio in Columbus), while Father Dave recalls the heartbreak of being cut off with just 15 minutes left in a Navy SEAL memoir due to subscription limits. 
(16:29) Pilgrimage to Poland: Kolbe, Faustina &amp; Divine Mercy in Dark Places  
Father Dave reflects on the deeply moving pilgrimage he led across Poland. Highlights include Mass at <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niepokalan%C3%B3w'>St. Maximilian Kolbe’s friary</a> visiting the birthplace of <a href='https://www.thedivinemercy.org/message/stfaustina'>St. Faustina</a>, and praying the <a href='https://www.thedivinemercy.org/message/devotions/pray-the-chaplet'>Divine Mercy Chaplet</a> in St. Faustina’s backyard with her niece. He shares how the lives of these saints—and the sobering visit to <a href='https://www.auschwitz.org/en/'>Auschwitz and Birkenau</a>—revealed the light of God even in history’s darkest moments. 
(23:02) Saints Amidst Suffering  
As conflict rages in places like <a href='https://www.bbc.com/news/topics/c2vdnvdg6xxt'>Gaza</a> and <a href='https://www.bbc.com/news/war-in-ukraine'>Ukraine</a>, the hosts reflect on how God raises up saints in every era. From the <a href='https://missionariesofcharity.org/'>Missionaries of Charity</a> caring for the vulnerable in war zones, to everyday youth ministers and celibate religious, they honor those whose quiet, faithful witness brings hope to the world. 
(28:22) Radiant Hope in Service  
Expanding on his convention talk, Deacon Bob shares how true Christian hope is made visible through acts of loving service. Drawing from Scripture and the Visitation of Mary, he explains how hope, though unseen, shines clearly in those who serve joyfully and sacrificially.

CANDID - Fasting (Lenten Series 2022)

The Cross is not a symbol. It is a weapon. It is the key that unlocked Heaven, crushed Satan’s kingdom, and stands as the central reality of our Catholic faith. In this homily, Fr. Dom dives deep into the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the power of relics, and the meaning of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.Fr. Dom begins with something extraordinary: a documented relic of the True Cross. Not just a piece of history, but a Eucharistic relic, tied directly to the mystery of Christ’s Body and Blood. Men, this is not something to treat lightly. As Catholics, we are called to kneel, reverence, and recognize that even the smallest fragment of the Cross carries with it the full power of Christ’s victory.From there, we move into the heart of the liturgy. The Mass is not a community gathering. It is not about us. It is the re-presentation of Christ’s sacrifice on Calvary. Every altar, every crucifix, every movement of the priest points us back to this truth: the Mass is the Cross made present again in an unbloody way. If you want to know your faith, if you're going to grow as a Catholic man, you must learn the Mass.You will hear how the Old Testament foreshadows the Cross: the bronze serpent lifted in the desert, a sign of healing and freedom for those who look upon it. Just as the Israelites were saved from death by turning to the serpent on the pole, we are saved by looking upon Christ crucified. But to look upon Him requires something of us: repentance, confession, and obedience to the Church He founded.The challenge issued in this episode is simple yet piercing: stop treating the Mass as an obligation and start treating it as the greatest privilege of your life. If you truly knew what was happening, you would run to it. The Cross demands your reverence, your attention, and your sacrifice.Brothers, stop living like Mass is boring. The question is not whether the Mass is alive. The question is whether you are dead inside. Bring your struggles, your marriage, your children, your work, your sin, your hopes—all of it—to the altar. Lay it down. Unite it to the sacrifice of Christ. That is the only way to be the man God has called you to be.3 Powerful Quotes<ol><li>“The key that has unlocked heaven, the weapon that has destroyed Satan’s kingdom, the very piece of wood which God’s body hung from because He loves us so much.”</li><li>“The Mass is a re-presentation of the one-time sacrifice of Christ on Calvary in an unbloody, sacr</li></ol><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!

Spiritual Warfare and Renewal with Ralph Martin

Friends, today I take several questions from kids all over the world, including: <ul> <li>1:40 - Why did Jesus appear so long ago?</li> <li>4:26 - Why did God the Father send Jesus to be born if God could be born himself?</li> <li>7:28 - How can you be happy in heaven if someone you love isn't there?</li> <li>12:10 - What would happen if Jesus didn't get crucified?</li> <li>14:38 - Can God die?</li> <li>18:35 - How will God end the world?</li> <li>21:08 - How did the devil get kicked out of heaven? By my research, once you're in heaven, I thought you can't get kicked out?</li> <li>26:10 - Does God like when we discover something?</li> </ul>

The Seven Deadly Sins (Part 2)

Romantic love (Eros) is everywhere—movies, music, social media. But our culture twists it, reducing it to fleeting passion, self-gratification, and empty pleasure. In this episode, we reclaim Eros for what it truly is—a God-given force meant to lead us to self-giving love, commitment, and holiness.I break down:<ul><li>How Eros, when rightly ordered, reflects God's covenant love.</li><li>Why the hookup culture and pornography industry are destroying authentic masculinity.</li><li>The danger of unrealistic expectations in marriage (yes, even The Bachelor is part of the problem).</li><li>How men must slay the dragon of lust and lead their relationships with virtue.</li><li>The one decision my wife and I made that eliminated divorce from our marriage—permanently.</li></ul>Men, Eros is not the enemy. But it must be redeemed, purified, and placed at the service of something higher. Today, I’ll show you how.🔥 One key takeaway: Kill lust before it kills you. If pornography or impurity is an issue, attack it viciously. Confession weekly. Mass immediately after. Cut off the source. Be a dragon slayer, not a slave.🔥 3 Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>“Pornography turns men into slaves and women into objects. If you’re caught in it, you must fight like your soul depends on it—because it does.”</li><li>“The world says ‘sleep around, get experience, be a player.’ That’s a lie. The virtuous woman you actually want to marry doesn’t want that man.”</li><li>“Your marriage is impossible without God. Invite Him in, or watch it crumble.”</li></ol>References &amp; Products Mentioned:<ul><li>Deus Caritas Est – Pope Benedict XVI’s teaching on Eros and love</li><li>The Catechism of the Catholic Church (Paras. 2360-2361) on marital love</li><li>Song of Songs – A biblical vision of Eros in its purest form</li><li>St. Joseph &amp; The Blessed Virgin Mary – The ultimate example of chaste, self-giving love</li></ul>Men, reclaim Eros from a world that has corrupted it. Lead with virtue. Live with purpose.

God Doesn't Want You To Be AFRAID | Mthr Natalia

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!

Ep 35 - Let the Journey Begin

I get asked about working at Hallow constantly. What is the culture like, how did I get the job, what do I love, what do I not love. I finally just wrote it all down. In this episode I read my latest Substack article that covers my full journey to Hallow, what the last five years have been like, and what you actually need to know if you are thinking about applying. I also get into why I love working somewhere that is both mission driven and ruthlessly committed to excellence, and why that combination is not for everyone. If you want to work at Hallow, start here. And then go apply.

Everything You Need To Know About Working At Hallow

Three crosses stood against a darkening sky. Soldiers carried out their orders with cold efficiency. Crowds mocked. Religious leaders sneered. And hanging on the central cross was Jesus of Nazareth—beaten, bloodied, and slowly dying.&nbsp;Overseeing the execution was a Roman centurion. Here is his story.

Ep 28: Do You Know the Inspiring Story of the Soldier Who Pierced the Heart of Jesus?

A filmmaker who nearly lost everything to addiction explains why real masculinity isn&rsquo;t flexing harder&mdash;it&rsquo;s surrender, service, and choosing the unseen daily fight. Andrew Peloso (<a href="https://veklabs.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VEK Labs</a>) shares how David&rsquo;s story hits him now: God calls the &ldquo;wrong fit,&rdquo; forms him in ordinary days, and turns weakness into courage. Plus what recovery taught him about humility, connection, and becoming a husband and father.

David, Goliath, & the 'Gift' of Desperation: Filmmaker Andrew Peloso on Addiction vs Heroism Ep 13

Pornography isn&rsquo;t a surface problem&mdash;it reshapes the brain, distorts relationships, and fractures a man&rsquo;s identity. Dean Patterson, Tom Hornacek, and Matt James Christoff unpack what happens after the damage: how a man rebuilds, reconnects with God, and restores his life through discipline, habits, and brotherhood.
What You&rsquo;ll Learn ✅ Why porn is described as a &ldquo;center of the soul&rdquo; sin ✅ How the brain begins to heal after quitting ✅ The role of confession, identity, and spiritual discipline ✅ Practical tools to break cycles of temptation and rebuild habits

The Chaste Man: Rewiring Your Mind & Soul with Christ | Matthew James Christoff 2/2

The ruling class and radical left used to be on opposite sides. Not anymore. They've found a common enemy and they're working together to dismantle both. This isn't conspiracy. This is documented. And Catholic men need to hear it.James sits down with Bill Donohue, President and CEO of the Catholic League, to break down his latest book Christianity in the Crosshairs: Ruling Class and Radicals Find a Common Enemy. Bill pulls no punches. He connects the dots between COVID lies, gender ideology, the assault on parental rights, and a decades-long strategy to replace your authority over your children with the state's.If you lived through the COVID lockdowns, watched churches shut down while BLM protests were cheered on, and felt something was deeply wrong, Bill explains why you were right. This isn't about politics. It's about power. And the goal has always been to get inside your head, neutralize the family, and make you dependent on institutions that despise what you believe.He is direct, unapologetic, and backed by decades of research.<hr />💬 3 Powerful Quotes from This Episode:"The one thing that the ruling class and the radicals both loathe is Christianity — and they don't like the nuclear family. If you can disable them, you leave people in a lurch, and then maybe they'll find communion with you. It's all about power. It's all about control." — Bill Donohue"There's more free speech in your local pub than there is tolerated in your local college or university. And I've spent a lot of time in both." — Bill Donohue"They may occupy some of the command seats, but there's more of us than them. Yes, we can intimidate them — let's do that instead of them intimidating us." — Bill Donohue🎯 Key Takeaway — Apply This Now:Stop waiting for someone else to say something. The next time you encounter a lie, speak up. You don't have to be a culture warrior with a PhD. You just have to open your mouth. Silence is not safety. Silence is surrender.📚 References &amp; Resources Mentioned:<ul><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/christianity-in-the-crosshairs-ruling-class-and-radicals-find-a-common-enemy/?gc_id=17487855346&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=17496032570&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADyykAw-L-PSqhaZgWSbwEPsgRS2o&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwn4vQBhBsEiwAq3hhNywuw2i65Mlr0-vDf9F7NRBzopSNSlGJ0oih5aH-HbYRSuHzYB-lSBoC-I8QAvD_BwE" target="_blank">Christianity in the Crosshairs</a> by Bill Donohue</li><li>Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights — <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://catholicleague.org" target="_blank">catholicleague.org</a></li></ul>Thank you for your prayers and support!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 to reach as many men as possible!Subscribe to our <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxrRLZNk4WqPdgcac5vuWEQ" target="_blank">YouTube</a> pageCheck out our <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.themanlycatholic.com/" target="_blank">website</a>Get delicious coffee from <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.mysticmonkcoffee.com/" target="_blank">Mystic Monk Coffee</a>Download <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tanbooks.com/tan-digital-app/" target="_blank">TAN Digital</a> to access the incredible TAN Library!

Dolphins Make Me Cry

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v16Alm20K0o">The Case for Christ</a> is a film adaptation of Lee Strobel's best-selling book of the same name, one that has made an enormous splash in Evangelical circles and beyond. It is the true story of a young, ambitious (and atheist) reporter for the Chicago Tribune, who fell into a psychological and spiritual crisis when his wife became a Christian. In an attempt to bring his wife back to atheism, Lee used his considerable analytical and investigative skills to debunk the resurrection of Jesus. If Jesus didn't rise, Strobel realizes, all of Christianity crumbles like a house of cards. In this episode, Bishop Robert Barron walks alongside Strobel through many of the common claims against the Resurrection of Jesus and explains why each lacks credibility in the face of real historical evidence. The listener question wonders how he might overcome objections from his loved ones as he joins the Church.

Ep 65 - Interview with Dr. Kevin Vost, Fitness, Nutrition, and Memory Extraordinaire

🔥Comment below: why do you think men need a series like this?
Can you help? Step up with Heroic Men to get this series into the hands of 25,000 men this 2025. <a href="https://heroicmen.org/give" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://heroicmen.org/give</a>
Men: What if the world is wrong about masculinity? What if being a man is NOT about power, control, and getting what you want? Father Larry's bestseller book comes to you in an epic 12-part series&mdash;only on Heroic Men. God made you a man. And God doesn't make mistakes.
This world is confused. It doesn&rsquo;t know what a real man is anymore. A real man doesn&rsquo;t live in isolation. He doesn&rsquo;t sit around making excuses for his selfishness. He doesn&rsquo;t let fear or pride control his life.
Look at the Cross. The perfect man, Jesus Christ, was nailed to it. Not for Himself. Not for His comfort. But for YOU. That is what it means to be a man&mdash;to lay down your life for others, to surrender your ego, to stop living for yourself and start living for Christ.
The question isn&rsquo;t whether or not you want to be a man. The question is: will you become the man God made you to be?

Kevin Wells | Failed Brain Surgery, Addiction, and a Hermit

Advent Series 2022, Pt. 2: The word “Advent” means “coming” or “arrival.” While we tend to focus on the coming of the Son of God as a child at Christmas, Advent is traditionally a penitential season that is supposed to make us ready to meet the Lord at His second coming. This Advent series by Dr. David Hajduk, Array of Hope’s Director of Theology, reflects on the Final Advent of the Lord - the Last Judgment. This second part explores questions like “What will the appearance of the Lord be like at the end of time?” and “How do contemporary and popular depictions of Christ actually contradict the teachings of Sacred Scripture and the Fathers of the Church?” -- Host: Dr. David HajdukVisit 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.

CANDID - Advent Series 2022, Pt. 2

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 kick off Lent on Ash Wednesday by hearing of Jesus’ mandate that every man is to give alms, to pray and to fast, and His rebuke of false practices and clear direction on how to carry out these good and pious acts.  We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to grow in the Virtue of Sacrifice so he can make a challenging Lenten vow. We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to build the virtue of Fortitude so that he can not only make, but actually keep his Lenten Vow.

Episode 17 - Jesus teaches men how to pray, fast and give alms - Lenten Daily Gospel Bible Study - Ash Wednesday February 22, 2023 - Mt 6:1-6, 16-18

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. Marshner also explores the origins of the Irish High Cross and the unique aspects of Irish liturgy. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding our roots and the early history of the Church as men and Catholics.  Takeaways<ol><li>St. Patrick played a significant role in the conversion of Ireland, but there were already early Christians in Ireland before his arrival.</li><li>The Irish High Cross is a unique symbol of Irish Christianity, and its design has roots in Armenian and Egyptian traditions.</li><li>Understanding our roots and the early history of the Church is important for men and Catholics.

This Corpus Christi Sunday, we reflect on the history of God's relationship with us. From the Passover through to the Resurrection, Christ shows us how he lays down his body for us, you and me. And he laid it down even before anyone took it from him. We are wounded sinners, blessed by the body of the Son of God. Join Mike in his reflections on the final covenant between God and Creation. This week on the Heroic Word, Mike Donovan, a Heroic Leadership Coach from New York, shares his reflections on the Scripture readings for this Sunday. Join us in the <a href="https://heroicmen.circle.so/c/heroic-word/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Heroic Word</a> group in the Heroic Brotherhood!

Corpus Christi: The Eucharist as the Final Covenant

This weekly podcast series hosted by Sean Lynn invites you to his distinctively Irish Canadian Pub studio in sharing A Dram with Friends where we talk about faith, family, food and fun. Pull up a chair and Sean will pour you a drink of his, or your, favourite Whiskey. Distilled alcohol in Latin is ‘aqua vitae’, water of life. The Latin translates in Gaelic to ‘usisge beatha’, also water of life. Whisky is therefore water of life. Jesus would give you living water if you ask (Jn 4:10) and He later says: “Let anyone who thirsts come to me and drink.” Join Sean for A Dram with Friends.

Ep 51 - LIVE Episode on Anniversaries, Reflections, and Abortion

Men, Holy Week is upon us, and the finish line is in sight. Whether Lent has been a triumph or a struggle, now is your chance to lock in. Easter’s close, but we’re not there yet.   St. Joseph lived hidden, guarding the God-man in silence while the world ignored him. His humility shone in poverty and trials, his faith unshaken by darkness. He’s our model now. Here’s your challenge: Simplify your life today. Too many prayers? Too much noise? Pick one thing—silence, Scripture, a single act of charity—and do it well, humbly, like Joseph. Maybe you’ve stumbled this Lent; doesn’t matter. It’s how you finish that counts. Lean into his example to make this Holy Week your strongest yet.  Men, Satan trembles at Joseph’s quiet strength. Want to honor God and enter Easter’s mystery? Simplify and focus. Products/References Mentioned:  <ul><li>Consecration to St. Joseph by Father Donald Calloway</li></ul>Powerful Quotes:  <ol><li>“Joseph sought God in simplicity. Joseph found God in detachment. Joseph enjoyed God’s company in obscurity.”  </li><li>“He guards a God-man and breathes not a word of it. He is the witness of so great a mystery and he tastes it in secret without divulging it abroad.”  </li><li>“Not how you start, it’s how you finish. Right, gentlemen? How can we simplify our lives? How can we finish strong?”</li></ol>Key Takeaway: Simplify today—choose one humble act, like sitting in silence, and do it with focus. Start now to mirror St. Joseph and end Lent strong.<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!
