S2-Case #12-Awakened-Pt 1

This Ash Wednesday, Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen go straight to the heart of Lent’s first command: repent and believe.

We're focusing on two concrete actions that we avoid until we're desperate: a real examination of conscience and a clean, simple confession. Not scrupulosity. Not vague generalities. An honest inventory of blind spots, weak spots, compromises, and missed opportunities for virtue.

The Lent Resolution We All Need | Fr. Ken Geraci & John Heinen

The difference between covenant and contract in the Old Testament and throughout the Bible is profound. It's so profound that we could almost say that it's the difference between prostitution (contract) and marriage (covenant), or between owning a slave (contract) and having a son (covenant). Today Deacon Harold competes The Theological Virtues talking about LOVE and a look at Soulful Psalm 18:1-7

Ascots and Whatnots - The Fashion Episode | John Kunz | Episode #162

At the tiny table, hosts Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome Evan Raugust, a 20-year-old Catholic YouTuber and strategist who has already built a reputation for helping channels grow with focus, clarity, and positivity. Evan shares how he left Las Vegas for Dallas, why he locked himself in a room to study thousands of videos, and how he approaches YouTube as both an art and a science. His story moves from a Calvary Chapel upbringing to full reception into the Catholic Church in 2023, showing how faith and media can intersect with purpose.
Episode Highlights:
• Roots &amp; Relocation - Leaving the transient culture of Vegas for the Catholic vibrancy of Dallas.
• The YouTube Grind - Three weeks of intense study produced insights into “view caps” and “view floors.”
• Confidence &amp; Conversion - From doubting himself to becoming Catholic, Evan shares the inner journey behind the metrics.
• Positivity Over Rage - Why encouraging, uplifting content builds loyal audiences that last.
• Borrowing Formats - Applying proven video strategies from secular niches to evangelize in the Christian space.
• Respect for All Faiths - Engaging Protestants, Muslims, Hindus, and more with curiosity.
• 100K Milestone - Live subscriber counts tick upward as the conversation unfolds.

Pardon My French

The word "headship" has become so loaded that most men either weaponize it or abandon it entirely. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt cut through the cultural noise to recover what male leadership actually means, not as domination or control, but as a divine paradigm rooted in the very nature of God and modeled from the beginning in Adam, St. Joseph, and Christ Himself. 

Why do men of goodwill still feel confused about their role? This is Satan's playbook and plan of attack. What follows is a frank, theologically grounded unpacking of what Devin calls "charitable authority", the kind of leadership that doesn't demand compliance but authors the story of a family's glory by pouring itself out. The three P's of the leader of the family are examined not as a management framework but as a way of understanding the ransom a man pays so that his wife and children can be free.

The Leadership Lie Destroying Families

1 Corinthians 12 describes the spiritual gifts, including the gift of healing. Andrew Laubacher, aka A-LOB, realized early in his journey that God was using his prayers over others to bring about physical, emotional, and spiritual healing to build up the Kingdom. In this special episode of The BeatiDudes, A-LOB shares healing stories that bring the miraculous into our current reality. A-LOB sums it up perfectly by stating, “People don’t need to be in ministry to be ministers.” The show concludes with a powerful prayer for the healing of Jeff’s three-year-old son, Benedict Pro, who was recently diagnosed with brain cancer. ALOB is now the Executive Director for Humanality, a nonprofit that aims to reclaim the adventure of human connection by helping people get off their phones and into reality.

This isn’t just a feast; it’s a call to action, a rallying cry for Catholics to bring Christ into every corner of their lives: mind, body, family, and society.Father Domleads us through a powerful homily, blending history, Scripture, and Church doctrine. He recounts the origins of this feast, instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925, a world grappling with the aftermath of World War I. The Pope foresaw the dangers of atheism and secularism sweeping nations and declared Christ’s kingship as the antidote to darkness and despair.But this message isn’t confined to the past. It’s a stark reminder for today’s world. Father Dom challenges us to reflect: Are we allowing Christ to reign in our minds, hearts, and lives? Or are we, like so many societies before us, pushing Him out and inviting chaos to take His place?This episode brims with actionable insights:<ul><li>Pray for the souls in purgatory this November—your prayers can bring them to heaven, and they will intercede for you.</li><li>Learn about the plenary indulgence offered on this feast, a gift of grace from our King.</li><li>Reflect on Pope Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas, which reminds us of Christ’s rightful place in every facet of life, including politics and governance.</li></ul>Father Dom also reminds us of the incredible power of the sacraments, Christ’s tangible gifts to His Church. These are not mere rituals but channels of grace that transform lives and lead us to the ultimate kingdom of heaven.Join us for this compelling reflection on Christ the King, a solemnity that reminds us of our true hope and the eternal reign of our Savior. Let’s recommit to His mission and crown Him King of our hearts.

Who was St. Joseph in real life? Not some distant figure on a pedestal. No, he was a flesh-and-blood man. He had to pray, listen to God, and live chastely. Picture a man wrestling with his longing for greatness and his desire to serve God.  There were times when St. Joseph didn’t know what to do. He felt helpless. But he knew where to turn: God. And he knew how to do it: entering into silence. That’s what makes him great. We cover:• Four pillars of greatness.• St. Joseph’s authority in the Holy Family.• Your responsibility to embrace the dignity of women.• Looking to God for your identity and mission.• And more.

WOF 382: The Beauty of Hope w/ Fr. John Riccardo

In this episode, Nathan and Anna Lulis tackle some of the toughest questions people in the Pro-Life movement get confronted with by those who are pro-choice/pro-abortion. We hope that this equips you to be better prepared to answer those questions or helps bring clarity to your own position on this most controversial of topics!
 
Anna Lulis&nbsp;grew up in&nbsp;Broad Run,&nbsp;Virginia&nbsp;and graduated from&nbsp;Liberty University&nbsp;after studying&nbsp;Interdisciplinary Studies with concentrations in Computational Sciences and Business.
Anna was always pro-life; however, became passionate about the pro-life movement in her college years.&nbsp;Through the Catholic Campus Ministry, she got progressively more involved in the pro-life group on her campus. As she further studied the severe implications of abortion extremism and the history of the pro-life movement in America, she developed a deeper desire to fight for life.
Anna&nbsp;currently resides in&nbsp;Washington, D.C. and serves the Pro-Life Generation as Students for Life's&nbsp;Data Strategist.

Scott Williams from Catholic Concepts &amp; Sock Religious is back for the bonus show. Scott is a ministry professional turned entrepreneur and the founder of the largest Catholic sock company in the world (probably). After working nearly a decade in full-time youth ministry, Scott turned a side hustle into a rapidly growing small business in a niche Catholic corner of the internet. If you asked Scott 10 years ago if he would be selling socks and other merchandise, he would have said you're crazy. Scott and the Dudes get started with a round of “Blessed are the Joke Makers” during which they take on multiple personalities to complete the prompt, “I’m a bad Catholic because ______.” Then Scott takes the opportunity to debut several new sock designs from Sock Religious, including Blessed Carlos Acutis, the Eucharist in the Monstrance series, and the history of the Pope Mobile.

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.

Now he tells others that the hardest part, letting your old life die, is also the start of becoming fully alive.

Lust: Turning a Generation into Zombies w/ Steve Pokorny: Alanis, Jack, Jimmy, and Ryan engage in a challenging and essential conversation with Steve Pokorny, founder of Freedom Coaching, a one-to-one mentoring system dedicated to helping and healing those with an attraction and compulsion to pornography. The group talks about the individual and societal repercussions of pornography; the history of how body objectification came about; pornography’s role in fostering same-sex attraction; and how Christian parents can initiate healthy conversations with their young children in order to develop a proper view of the human person from a Scriptural perspective (drawing on Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body). -- About Steve PokornySteve Pokorny founded Freedom Coaching in 2011, in response to a personal experience of healing. Like many men, Steve was exposed to pornography at a young age and struggled with pornography compulsion for many years before encountering freedom. Through Freedom Coaching, Steve now offers that same freedom to others.Steve holds an MA in theology and a specialization in catechetics from Franciscan University of Steubenville, as well as an MTS from the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family in Washington D.C. Steve is a Certified Life Coach from the Life Coach Training Institute, author of Redeemed Vision: Setting the Blind Freed from the Pornified Culture, and internationally-known speaker.

Ep 66 - Giving Tuesday on a Wednesday and Giving To You!

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.

Extra, extra, hear all about it!

Hey there, brothers! This episode of the Manly Catholic dives deep into "Philia," the Greek word for friendship, exploring how this love forms the backbone of true brotherhood. Forget the superficial hangouts; we're talking about the kind of bond where iron sharpens iron, just as Proverbs says. We kick off post-Super Bowl, reflecting on more than just who won the game but on the deeper connections we should strive for in our lives. I challenge you to look at your friendships: are they just for watching sports, or do they push you towards virtue and sanctity? Philia isn't just camaraderie; it's a sacred, Christ-centered relationship that demands vulnerability and mutual growth.You'll discover how Jesus himself modeled this friendship, inviting us into a divine camaraderie. We'll tackle modern challenges like fear of vulnerability, the illusion of social media connections, and our culture's competitive nature, which can erode true brotherhood. Actionable Insights:<ul><li>Reflect on Your Circle: Evaluate who you spend time with. Are they pushing you towards sainthood or just another game night?</li><li>Cultivate Deep Connections: Make time for meaningful conversations, not just casual meetups. Be intentional about deepening your relationships.</li><li>Pray for Friendship: If you feel isolated, pray for the right companions who can challenge and support your spiritual journey.</li></ul>Key Takeaway for Men:<ul><li>Embrace Vulnerability: True friendship requires sharing struggles, not just victories. Open up about your challenges, and you'll find strength in those who lift you up.</li></ul>This episode isn't just about friendship; it's about forming a brotherhood that reflects God's love. Don't miss out on transforming your life through the power of philia. Tune in now, and let's build a fraternity that stands the test of time.

Ep 155 - Brotherhood Beyond the Game: Unlocking Philia in the Modern Man

What if The Lord of the Rings was never just a story? What if Tolkien was encoding a spiritual map for men living in the modern war for the soul?In this episode of The Manly Catholic, James Caldwell speaks with author and philosopher Paul List, co-author of Mount Doom: The Prophecy of Tolkien Revealed, to expose what Tolkien was really writing about: original sin, virtue and vice, artificial intelligence, and so much more.Paul reveals how Tolkien’s mythology is a Catholic psychological map of the human soul. Hobbits as habits. The Ring as addiction. Sauron as AI. Middle-earth as the mind. Vice as Orcs. Virtue as the Fellowship. Faith and reason as elves and men.Temperance, fortitude, prudence, and justice as the cardinal virtues sent on a mission to destroy the Ring.This conversation connects Tolkien to Aquinas, Aristotle, St. Augustine, and how prophetic his beloved stories really are for the modern man.James also issues a direct challenge to men: Stop living passively. Clean up your habits. Reject pornography. Reject the virtual world. Build competence. Build virtue. Cultivate discipline. Become dangerous in holiness.This is not entertainment. This is formation. And neutrality is no longer an option.Push play if you're done being comfortable and ready to become dangerous for Christ.<h2>📚 Products &amp; References Mentioned</h2><ul><li>Book: Mount Doom: The Prophecy of Tolkien Revealed – Paul List</li><li>Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://readmountdoom.com" target="_blank">readmountdoom.com</a></li><li>Documentary: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://app.pelicanplus.com/tabs/home/videos/55451" target="_blank">The Great Indoctrination (Pelican Plus)</a></li><li>Coffee Sponsor: Mystic Monk Coffee</li></ul>🧱 3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode<blockquote><ol><li>“Real men are competent.

Ep 187 - Tolkien Was Warning Us: AI, Vice, and the War for Men’s Souls

What if everything you thought was your purpose&mdash;your calling, your plans, your identity&mdash;suddenly unraveled? That&rsquo;s what happened to Gabe when he left behind his dream of becoming a pastor, moved across the world, and found himself starting over with no roadmap, no money, and no clear direction.
In this raw and honest conversation, Gabe shares how he faced spiritual silence, identity confusion, and the pressure of being a young father while carrying the quiet weight of self-doubt. From the impact of It&rsquo;s a Wonderful Life to finding unexpected strength in St. Joseph and Mother Teresa, he opens up about the struggle of showing up when you feel unseen, and the power of doing the next right thing.
If you&rsquo;ve ever questioned your worth, your path, or whether you&rsquo;re making a difference at all, Gabe&rsquo;s journey will remind you that heroism isn&rsquo;t flashy&mdash;it&rsquo;s forged in the quiet, unseen acts of love and courage.

Day 30 Fortitude in Witness | Jeff Cavins

Ryan and James discuss on this episode the Synod on Synodality listening sessions, specifically here at St. Roberts in Ada. According to the USCCB website, the Synod on Synodality: <ul><li>The Synod on Synodality is a two-year process of listening and dialogue beginning with a solemn opening in Rome on October 9 and 10, 2021 with each individual diocese and church celebrating the following week on October 17. The synodal process will conclude in 2023. Pope Francis invites the entire Church to reflect on a theme that is decisive for its life and mission: “It is precisely this path of synodality which God expects of the Church of the third millennium.” This journey, which follows in the wake of the Church’s “renewal” proposed by the Second Vatican Council, is both a gift and a task: by journeying together and reflecting together on the journey that has been made, the Church will be able to learn through Her experience which processes can help Her to live communion, to achieve participation, to open Herself to mission.</li></ul>In short, the Church is inviting lay people to give their input on how the Church can improve in various aspects. In this episode, Ryan and James specifically talk about the topics relating to listening and dialogue in the Church and society and engaging more families. Remember men, our priests, bishops, and the Pope have to answer to Christ, not us.  James' Challenge: Pray specifically for the Holy Spirit to come and guide you every day this week.

A celebration of faith and music: The Litany of St. Joseph in Song
On a remarkable evening in Calgary, the Catholic community gathered for a joyous and family-friendly musical event, one that resonated with men, women, and children alike. This spiritually uplifting concert was a tribute to the power of faith expressed through music, offering a rich blend of tradition, talent, and devotion.
Held in honor of St. Joseph&mdash;the Patron Saint of Canada&mdash;the event brought together voices from across the Diocese of Calgary. Selected choirs from various parishes performed sacred music that echoed the dignity and strength of this holy figure. These harmonious offerings set the tone for an unforgettable evening of reverence and unity.
At the heart of the evening was the world premiere of an original musical setting of the Litany of St. Joseph. Composed and conducted by Alberta&rsquo;s own Carlos Foggin&mdash;an award-winning maestro known for his dynamic leadership&mdash;this debut was the crescendo of the night. It marked not just a musical milestone but a spiritual one, inviting all in attendance into a deeper reflection on the virtues of St. Joseph.
The concert was more than a performance; it was a prayer in song, a communal act of praise during the 2025 Jubilee Year Celebrations. As part of the global theme Pilgrims of Hope, the evening offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness history through harmony and faith.
This recording captures the spirit of the event&mdash;its reverence, its joy, and its call to unity through music. We invite you to experience this sacred celebration and to stay connected for more spiritual opportunities in the days ahead.

Alex Jones is an awesome man. He and I met almost ten years ago in a dorm room on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. Little did I know that 7 years later I&#39;d be working for his Catholic prayer app. 
There are several reasons this would have shocked me at the time, not least of which was the fact that Alex was an atheist on somedays and agnostic on others. 
The story of how God took him from who he was then to who he is today is an amazing one.

Bridget Richardson | Intergenerational Journeys

Over 83 percent of Americans still believe in miracles, but what, specifically, are miracles? What are the grounds for believing in them, especially for non-eye witnesses? In the Catholic context, who has the authority to deem an event miraculous? Should Catholics incorporate devotions to Church-approved supernatural events like apparitions of the Virgin Mary and post-Ascension appearances of Jesus Christ into their faith life? We discuss the Catholic understanding of miracles and how the miraculous fits with a comprehensive evangelical vision of the life of the Church. A listener asks if it was a sin when those healed by Jesus in the Bible told others of their miraculous healing, though Jesus had told them not to tell. 00:00 | Intro 01: 20 | Update on Winona-Rochester's new pastoral center 03: 10 | Distinguishing miracles from improbable or impossible events 06:15 | Conditions necessary for the miraculous 10:58 | The relationship between nature and grace 14:10 | How miracles are confirmed 16:44 | Science and miracles 20:09 | Miracles and the Bible 23:19 | If God's revelation is complete, why do miracles continue? 25:50 | The Vatican's recent document on apparitions 27:14 | Addressing skepticism of the miraculous 31:05 | Listener question 32:54 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: <ul> <li>Poll citation: <a href= "https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4400922-americans-ghosts-aliens-devil-survey/"> https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4400922-americans-ghosts-aliens-devil-survey/</a></li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

The Family is the most important institution in the history of humanity, "The future of the world and the Church passes through the family" (Saint John Paul II). This podcast is a conversation about Leadership Where it Matters Most.

The Importance of Effective Communication in the Church | Matthew Warner | R4HIn this episode, we welcome Matthew Warner, the founder of Flocknote and author of Why They Follow published by Word on Fire.

The Importance of Effective Communication in the Church | Matthew Warner | R4H

Jason Shanks doesn&rsquo;t just talk about transformation&mdash;he lived it. After a near-death experience with COVID-19, Shanks discovered the absolute necessity of divine intimacy with God. As a convert to Catholicism, he learned firsthand how the Holy Spirit pulls people into faith, showing that real connection with God is about relationship, not just ritual.
His battle with COVID-19 wasn&rsquo;t just physical; it was spiritual warfare. Prayer and the intercession of his community were game-changers in his recovery. Shanks dives deep into what intimacy with God really means, comparing it to the covenant of marriage and the Eucharist.&nbsp;
He challenges men to strip away the distractions of the world, embrace vulnerability, and fight for their spiritual lives. This is about building authentic relationships with God and each other&mdash;no shortcuts, no compromises.

Experiencing Divine Intimacy with Jason Shanks 

It's a harsh truth: 31% of men at Sunday Mass lack a single close friend. Loneliness isn't just isolating; it's a health disaster, more lethal than alcoholism or smoking. Heroic Men is a movement on a mission to change this. We work to reconnect men with Christ, inspire authentic brotherhood, and bond around relentless spiritual growth. https://heroicmen.org&nbsp;This isn't just about friendships—it's about forging a community where men challenge, sharpen, and hold each other accountable. It's about becoming the best version of themselves and reshaping culture. This is a rallying cry for Catholic men to step up, embrace brotherhood, and transform lives, family, and culture together.

Heroic Men and the Crushing Epidemic of Loneliness among Men

This is the life story, the testimony, and the conversion story of Nathan Crankfield. 
It&#39;s been shared many times and in many places, but never has it been done so thoroughly, vulnerably, and transparently as this. 
 
For those who don&#39;t know, Nathan Crankfield was born and raised in Harrisburg, PA. He was baptized Lutheran, but entered the Catholic Church at age 13, becoming the first Catholic in his family. In 2015, he graduated from Mount St. Mary&#39;s University, where he received an Army ROTC Scholarship. After graduation, Nathan was commissioned and trained as an Infantry officer at Fort Benning, GA, where he completed U.S. Army Airborne School and Ranger School. Upon completion, he headed to Fort Bragg, NC, where he served in the 82nd Airborne Division for three years.
After a deployment to Afghanistan, Nathan knew it was time to pursue his love for evangelization. Throughout his life, Nathan has cultivated a deep passion for encouraging others to fulfill their potential and purpose. In 2019, he accepted a position at the Dynamic Catholic Institute, where he faithfully served as a Parish Consultant for the archdiocese of Kansas City, MO &amp; Austin, TX. Nathan served as a Resident Director at Benedictine College in Atchison, KS. He currently resides in Denver, Co with his wife; Emily and their son Jordan. Nathan currently serves as a Sales Lead for <a href="https://hallow.com/" target="_blank">Hallow</a>, the Catholic prayer &amp; meditation app.
The initial ideas around Seeking Excellence came to Nathan during his college years as he felt God calling him to serve the Church using his gifts for writing and speaking. While serving his parishes, Nathan dedicated consistent time to writing reflections to share within his community.
When the mandatory stay-at-home orders went into place in the spring of 2020, Nathan received several cancellations for his booked speaking engagements. Much like all things Nathan does in his life, he decided to make the most of the situation by evolving. He moved his in-person events to a virtual platform, gaining new audiences and identifying our world&#39;s needs. Shortly after, Seeking Excellence launched with the support of Nathan&#39;s community and several friends who committed much time to help lay the foundation to bring his dream to life. 
Nathan continues to cast a bold vision for Seeking Excellence while striving to build a strong alliance of community, which will help make a significant impact in the Church.

Journey to Becoming a Cardinal w/ Archbishop Emeritus Thomas Cardinal Collins

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.

The Untold Story of a Man Who Left Everything Behind with Dominic de Souza

In this episode, we hear about the faith journey and critically important work of Mary Rice Hasson, the Kate O’Beirne Fellow in Catholic Studies at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C.. Mary seeks to amplify the voice of Catholic women in support of human dignity, authentic freedom, and Catholic social teaching, and writes and speaks frequently on the dangers of gender ideology. We will discuss how God created human beings male and female in His image and likeness, the complementarity of men and women, and how we can be a compassionate and loving voice that leads people to embrace the truth of who they are in a culture that lies to them on issues of identity.Mary Rice Hasson is the <a href="https://eppc.org/news/mary-hasson-becomes-eppcs-kate-obeirne-fellow/">Kate O’Beirne Fellow</a> in Catholic Studies at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C.

You may have heard it said that the Devil's greatest strategy is convincing people that he does not exist. If that's true, then his second best strategy must be convincing people that his weapons do not exist or that they are irrelevant. &nbsp;&nbsp;
Pornography is one of the greatest evils of our time. The addiction rates have increased rapidly over the past two decades as access to pornographic materials has become easier than ever. Kids who aren't even in middle school are being exposed to pornographic material. &nbsp;

Ep 132 | Fighting Our Addiction to Pornography w/ Sean Clifford

Spy Wednesday is here and we’re switching it up. Just three days from Easter, I’m inviting you into 10 minutes of sacred silence. Something different today: a chance to pause. Judas betrayed Jesus today for 30 pieces of silver, setting the stage for tomorrow’s agony. What did Joseph feel in his trials? Your challenge: Be still for 10 minutes. Drop the podcast speed to normal, let Jeff’s calming music guide you, and reflect—on Christ, on Joseph, on your life.  Maybe you’re swamped, stressed, or off-track this Lent. That’s fine. This is your reset. Simplify, obey, be humble—10 minutes to listen to God’s voice. It might be your only break today, so take it.

Day 37 - Finding Peace in the Silence

What does it mean to begin 2025 with a Holy Door, a hoodie, and a broken rib? 
In this milestone 198th episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob celebrate the beginning of the Jubilee Year—a time of grace, mercy, and hope that does not disappoint (Romans 5:5). The conversation moves from Rome to Guadalupe, football playoffs to fractured ribs, weaving together the sacred and the silly. They reflect on Pope Francis’ call to joyful hope, the return of traditions at Notre Dame, and the invitation for all of us to enter more deeply into this holy season. 
Of course, it wouldn’t be They That Hope without football talk, playful jabs, media hot takes, and an unexpected vacation miracle.

Happy Jubilee Year!

Life will surprise you. It likes to throw curveballs at you at unexpected times. Will you swing or duck? Lent is nearing Holy Week, and we’re reflecting on how a righteous man like Joseph faced chaos with virtue.  Picture this: Joseph’s world flips upside down, yet once God’s will clicks, he doesn’t hesitate. He steps up as husband, guardian, and defender. Today’s culture tells men to run from unplanned challenges, abandoning women and kids, and staying at work until 10 PM to "provide for your family." Joseph shows us differently. He prays, discerns, and acts. My challenge to you: take that hurdle in your life and hit your knees. Seek God’s will through prayer today. Don’t let the world’s Herod choke out your call to greatness.  We kick off with St. Michael’s prayer and close with St. Joseph, terror of demons—your spiritual wingmen. This episode’s for men ready to ditch passivity, root themselves in Scripture, and prepare for life’s game days. One week from Holy Week, it’s time to fight. Hit play, brothers—let’s get to work.  References:  <ul><li>Holy Bible (Matthew 1:19)  </li><li>St. Michael Prayer  </li><li>St. Joseph Terror of Demons Prayer</li></ul>Powerful Quotes:  <ol><li>“No more passivity, no more excuses, no more lukewarm faith. This is your battle cry, your call to arms.”  </li><li>“Once his eyes were opened to the will of God, without hesitation, he leaned into it fully and embraced it with great virtue.”  </li><li>“We were not made for comfort. We were made for greatness.”</li></ol>Key Takeaway: Pray today. Take your latest curveball to God, discern His will, and act—don’t let chaos win.  <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 29 - St. Joseph’s Game Plan: Facing Life’s Curveballs Like a Man

Raffaele D’Apolito joins the BeatiDudes for arguably the most wheels-off episode of Season 6. 
Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome an energetic Italian guest straight from Rome, turning the Tiny Table into a cultural exchange that somehow includes pronunciation coaching, a debate over what counts as “Italian” food in America, and a running gag that peaks when Olive Garden becomes the unofficial villain of the day. Beneath the comedy, Raffaele shares what brought him to the U.S., how a pilgrimage to Rome connected him with American friends and business opportunities, and why he believes most AI projects fail when companies chase tools without first fixing the underlying processes.
Raffaele also talks about his return to the faith after a season of drifting, describing how a surprisingly simple thought sparked a deeper reversion that led him back to confession, the Eucharist, and a growing love for the Traditional Latin Mass. He talks candidly about the role patience has played in his life, how he learned to stop forcing his own timeline, and how discerning relationships with clarity and peace matters more than rushing toward an outcome. By the end, he shares his vision to rebuild his company on stronger Catholic foundations and eventually establish roots in the U.S., inviting anyone interested in process-driven AI work to connect with him on LinkedIn as he builds “Cornerstone.”
