Becoming a Manger - Living Advent with Father Malachy

A father gets the call every parent dreads: His little boy has cancer. He is far from home, alone in a hotel room, powerless to fix it. &nbsp;Chris Mueller talks about what faith looks like when a man cannot solve the problem in front of him. It is a story about fatherhood, suffering, courage, community, and the fierce choice to trust God through years of fear, tears, treatment, and small mercies that start to look like miracles.
What You&rsquo;ll Learn ✅ How Chris received the news of his son&rsquo;s diagnosis ✅ Why praise and worship became his lifeline in crisis ✅ What suffering revealed about manhood and fatherhood ✅ How prayer, community, and trust carried a family through

When Your Son Has Cancer:  Chris Mueller on Fatherhood, Courage, and Miracles

True Beauty: In this episode, we hear the story of Leah Darrow - a former reality TV model turned international Catholic speaker, life-coach, author, and podcaster. We discuss True Beauty and how the very notion of beauty has become distorted in our culture. We also discuss Leah’s work to help women reach their God-given potential through her initiatives Lux University and Power Made Perfect. -- About Leah DarrowLeah Darrow is an international Catholic speaker that dares her audience to live a life according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Before her debut on the reality TV show, America’s Next Top Model, and the subsequent years as a professional model in New York City, Leah earned a Bachelors in psychology from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. She is currently working towards her Masters in Theology at the Augustine Institute. Leah and her husband Rick Soldinie, live in St. Louis, welcomed their 1st child in August 2013 and rarely sleep anymore. Leah has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs regarding topics of faith and culture. She also addressed a United Nations panel discussion on behalf of international youth in July of 2011. Most recently overseas, Leah rallied an audience of 15,000 youth at the World Trade Center in Manila during her Real Love Revolution tour in the Philippines, and then here at home gave the keynote address for over 7,000 college students at the national FOCUS conference, SEEK2013 held in Walt Disney World. Leah speaks to people of all ages on topics of mercy, conversion, human dignity, modesty, and chastity. Leah is particularly inspired to share these ideas in light of Blessed John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, and do her small part in the call for a New Evangelization. -- Resources from Leah Darrow <a href="https://www.leahdarrow.com/powermadeperfect">https://www.leahdarrow.com/powermadeperfect</a> <a href="https://www.theluxuniversity.com/?r_done=1">https://www.theluxuniversity.com/?r_done=1</a> -- Check out this article!: <a href="https://stjosephshelf.com/reclaiming-halloween-as-a-catholic-celebration/">Reclaiming Halloween as a Catholic Celebration</a>-- Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: 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.

True Beauty w/ Leah Darrow

In this episode, Victor and I ask “Why do we even try to be enough?” 
The enemy knows that men often struggle with feeling like they are not good enough fathers, husbands, or providers. It is a painful lie to believe you have to be “enough”. 

Take a load off and join us, your inadequate brothers, as we chat about it. 

In this episode you will hear about: 

* The sin of forgetting God’s love
* The GREATNESS of your insufficiency 
* Desolation
* Letting yourself be held by God… like a child.

How Shoehorned Interpretation Led Away from Protestantism

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.

Staring at the Sun

We avoid thinking about death until it forces its way into the room. But what happens when a husband and father is suddenly told he has ninety days to live? 

In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt examine the striking story of former Nebraska senator Ben Sasse, who recently revealed a stage-four pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Drawing from his candid interview reflecting on that moment, they explore how the ancient Christian discipline of memento mori, remembering death, cuts through ambition, noise, and distraction to reveal what actually matters in a man’s life.

Sasse speaks openly about regret, fatherhood, selfishness, and the urgency of redeeming time when the clock is no longer theoretical. John and Devin unpack his reflections through the lens of the Church’s tradition, from Sirach’s warning to “remember your last end” to the teaching of saints like Jerome, Augustine, and Alphonsus Liguori, while confronting the questions most men quietly push aside: what would change if you truly believed your days were numbered?
