"Christmas is one of the most important days of the church year, second only to Easter itself. It is the culmination of the mystery of the incarnation - the feast of God becoming flesh. It is a uniquely Christian teaching that the divine chose to become one of us. Because of this belief, God is not only transcendent, but also wholly immanent - while remaining transcendent, meaning we must rise above our present condition to reach Him, He is at the same time immanent, meaning He is with us as ...

Making Your Christmas Catholic with Nicole Scheidl

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.

Fatherhood and the Spiritual Life

All of us need time where we can take a break and let our spirits be renewed.  In this very special series on “A Retreat With King David” I lead business professionals through a time of reflection on their own life as leaders in light of the story of King David.  God’s incredible working in David’s life presents a paradigm to help us understand the challenges and the grace of our own.

DGT Episode 107 - Called And Chosen - A Retreat With King David Part 1

The BeatiDudes is a religiously funny talk show that takes a holy and humorous approach to being a Christian man in the modern world. This Catholic show combines prayer, wit, wisdom, and everything in between.Season One wraps up as the BeatiDudes honor their wives and each other with a rollercoaster of Catholic comedy and prayer. Watch Paul Kolker crush it in a special game of Blessed are the Joke Makers in which he takes on many personas to address the prompt, “Mea culpa, Father, I couldn’t make it to mass because _____” while Nick and Jeff guess as many as possible. Then the pinnacle moment of Season One occurs when the BeatiDudes dedicate the show and all of its work to the protection and intercession of St. Maximilian Kolbe. You can pray along with The BeatiDudes by using <a href="https://militiaoftheimmaculata.com/prayers-to-st-maximilian-kolbe/">this link to download the prayer</a>. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</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>

WOF 298: How to Forgive People

Friends, in the book of Revelation, Jesus says, "Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and eat with you and you with me." But how does this work? How do we allow him into our hearts? That's what Brandon Vogt and I discuss in today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show."

WOF 336: The Christ Who Knocks

Is it ever necessary to label ourselves? Is it ever ok to label anyone else? Not according to internet celebrity and spoken-word poet, Prince Ea, whose viral video entitled "I Am Not Black, You Are Not White" claims that labels are the root of all social ills and that our identity is entirely separate from our physical reality. The video has reached over 100 million views on Facebook and over 11 million views on Youtube with an overwhelming approval rating (300 to 1 like to dislike ratio). The most liked comment on Youtube reads, "They showed this to us in school." In this episode of The Word on Fire Show, Bishop Barron critiques each segment of the argument posed by the young poet and explains the philosophical history behind this radical, yet widely accepted argument. The listener question asks for a book suggestion that encourages teens to return to the Church.

The BeatiDudes and Kyle Hatfield are at the tiny table, and this time, Kyle is unpacking the full roller coaster of faith, foolishness, and Divine Providence. From a Lutheran kid who once called Catholics “cannibals” to a man discipled into joy by Fr. Eric Shield, Kyle’s story proves God’s grace has a wild sense of humor. He went from writing a handwritten list of 20 reasons to become Catholic to completely falling away in college, only to find his way home through a Life Teen summer, daily holy hours, and an unexpected transfer to Franciscan University (where he met his future wife Angela)
 
Kyle shares two lines that changed his life: “If you’re humble and submissive to Christ, you’ll find peace in all you do,” and “Abandonment to the Father frees you from anxiety about tomorrow.” Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein mix in wisdom, laughter, and a few “ball-and-chain” lessons of their own as they remind us that holiness doesn’t start with perfection; it starts with surrender, a smile, and sometimes, a breakfast gone wrong.

How To Make Healthy Boundaries as a Catholic

What if being a hero wasn’t about being strong—but about being willing?Here’s how Sean Lynn went from chasing justice on the streets to confronting his own brokenness. After 33 years as a cop, he’d seen it all—addiction, violence, human trafficking. He was the guy who showed up, who took the hits, who delivered the worst news a parent could hear. But carrying that weight quietly almost crushed him.Everything shifted when Sean realized this wasn’t just a job—it was a vocation. A calling to serve not just with force, but with faith. That shift reframed every painful moment and revealed a God who was present in every scene, even the darkest ones.This is how Sean found peace—not by numbing out or powering through, but by connecting with other men, reclaiming quiet acts of heroism, and learning that God didn’t call him to be perfect. Just faithful.Join the Heroic Brotherhood: Our only community: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/brotherhood">https://heroicmen.org/brotherhood</a>Pay it forward: Join the Heroic Alliance: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/alliance">https://heroicmen.org/alliance</a>

About the Topic:
<div class="fluid-width-video-wrapper">
The topic is focused from the lens of Prudence:
Prudence is the first cardinal virtue for a reason; it is the virtue that teaches us knowledge of reality. From prudence, we gain the ability to discern what is good in every circumstance and to choose the right actions. St. Thomas Aquinas quotes Aristotle that “prudence is right reason applied to action” 
Foresight, a sub-virtue of prudence, is the ability to see into the future and direct actions toward an end. Foresight allows us to rightly order present actions to a good end, knowing that we can never fully predict the future.
Shrewdness, another sub-virtue of prudence. It means to be able to form both a correct and a quick opinion. This is done by developing the mental insight to read between the lines or finding the middle term in a demonstration. The Latin is solertia, which means to have a clear-sighted objectivity, even a dispassionate observance of situations. The one who is shrewd is agile and quick-witted, able to put the pieces together, both from memory and from learning, into the big picture.
<h3 class="p1">When Looking for a Job:</h3>
- There are only certain things you can control:
 - Be praying for your potential boss. Be praying for your current boss and your coworkers.
 - Ask your Guardian Angel for guidance and assistance
 - The way you dress
 - Your online presence
 - Research the employer
 - Think of ways that would set you apart from other candidates
 - Understand that the interview begins the moment you set foot on the premise
 - Keep answers brief and concise
 - Be prepared for questions: “Tell us something about yourself"
 - Thank the interviewer for their time
<h3 class="p1">Telling your boss you are leaving:</h3>
 - Have a good transition plan 
 - Be prepared for a counteroffer
 - Be prepared to be walked out of the building right then
 - Don’t make the announcement on social media too early 
 - Make sure to thank your boss and coworkers 
Don’t let the norms of others dictate your values and behavior.

Why More Young Catholics are Identifying as "Traditional" (Brian Holdsworth) | Ep. 252

Today, we discuss an aspect of Catholicism that affects our ability to live out our calling in life, grow as a community, evangelize to others, and love as Christ requires. When we think of our relationships and how we are called to be friends, it only scratches the surface of the truth that today's guest, Jason Craig, brings to the forefront. Our culture and society are not helping men grow in this truth, and it is intentional. This is intentional because the world is against Christ and His Church. Join us and learn how you can better experience this joy in your life and share it with others.<h2>🟠 Podcast Sponsor:

The Missing Link: Brotherhood in Modern Catholicism

Today I chat with Fr. Chris Pietraszko about the sin of sloth. Please support me and all my work at PintsWithAquinas.com/Donate Here's the texts we read: I answer that, Sloth, according to Damascene (De Fide Orth. ii, 14) is an oppressive sorrow, which, to wit, so weighs upon man's mind, that he wants to do nothing; thus acid things are also cold. Hence sloth implies a certain weariness of work, as appears from a gloss on Psalm 106:18, "Their soul abhorred all manner of meat," and from the definition of some who say that sloth is a "sluggishness of the mind which neglects to begin good." Now this sorrow is always evil, sometimes in itself, sometimes in its effect. For sorrow is evil in itself when it is about that which is apparently evil but good in reality, even as, on the other hand, pleasure is evil if it is about that which seems to be good but is, in truth, evil. Since, then, spiritual good is a good in very truth, sorrow about spiritual good is evil in itself. And yet that sorrow also which is about a real evil, is evil in its effect, if it so oppresses man as to draw him away entirely from good deeds. Hence the Apostle (2 Corinthians 2:7) did not wish those who repented to be "swallowed up with overmuch sorrow." --- Objection 2. Further, a capital sin is one to which daughters are assigned. Now Gregory (Moral. xxxi, 45) assigns six daughters to sloth, viz. "malice, spite, faint-heartedness, despair, sluggishness in regard to the commandments, wandering of the mind after unlawful things." Now these do not seem in reality to arise from sloth. For "spite" is, seemingly the same as hatred, which arises from envy, as stated above (II-II:34:6); "malice" is a genus which contains all vices, and, in like manner, a "wandering" of the mind after unlawful things is to be found in every vice; "sluggishness" about the commandments seems to be the same as sloth, while "faint-heartedness" and "despair" may arise from any sin. Therefore sloth is not rightly accounted a capital sin. Reply to Objection 2. Gregory fittingly assigns the daughters of sloth. For since, according to the Philosopher (Ethic. viii, 5,6) "no man can be a long time in company with what is painful and unpleasant," it follows that something arises from sorrow in two ways: first, that man shuns whatever causes sorrow; secondly, that he passes to other things that give him pleasure: thus those who find no joy in spiritual pleasures, have recourse to pleasures of the body, according to the Philosopher (Ethic. x, 6). Now in the avoidance of sorrow the order observed is that man at first flies from unpleasant objects, and secondly he even struggles against such things as cause sorrow. Now spiritual goods which are the object of the sorrow of sloth, are both end and means. Avoidance of the end is the result of "despair," while avoidance of those goods which are the means to the end, in matters of difficulty which come under the counsels, is the effect of "faint-heartedness," and in matters of common righteousness, is the effect of "sluggishness about the commandments." The struggle against spiritual goods that cause sorrow is sometimes with men who lead others to spiritual goods, and this is called "spite"; and sometimes it extends to the spiritual goods themselves, when a man goes so far as to detest them, and this is properly called "malice." On so far as a man has recourse to eternal objects of pleasure, the daughter of sloth is called "wandering after unlawful things." From this it is clear how to reply to the objections against each of the daughters: for "malice" does not denote here that which is generic to all vices, but must be understood as explained. Nor is "spite" taken as synonymous with hatred, but for a kind of indignation, as stated above: and the same applies to the others.

146: The unnamed evil of our times (and how to overcome it) With Fr Chris Pietraszko

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

84: Is it okay to lie to my kids about Santa Claus (also, Nazi's at the door, communion in the hand, and is swearing okay?)

Beauty belongs to Catholicism, yet we see fewer and fewer traces of this in our modern Churches. Men often ignore this transcendental and lack a depth of understanding of the objective nature of beauty. It is time to learn how beauty is tied to truth and goodness and how it can awaken within your soul an improved man. We are joined today by Robert Puschautz, a professional artist of the Stabat Mater Foundation, to learn why this is the case and how we can fix it.Stabat Mater Foundation - https://www.stabatmater.org/artRobert Puschautz IG - https://www.instagram.com/robertpuschautz"We no longer dare to believe in beauty and we make of it a mere appearance in order the more easily to dispose of it. Our situation today shows that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness, and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance. We can be sure that whoever sneers at her name as if she were the ornament of a bourgeois past -- whether he admits it or not -- can no longer pray and soon will no longer be able to love." - Hans Urs von Balthazar🔴 The Catholic Gentleman Podcast happens because of our generous donors, including monthly donations of any amount.

95: Why does every atheist misunderstand your 5 proofs for God's existence?

Every leader needs to take initiative.  It’s the same for St. Peter and for the apostles of his day.  How did St. Peter move the church forward during her darkest times?  Let’s take a look at the Acts of The Apostles, Chapter 1 verses 12 and following to find out.

DGT Episode 40 - The Strength Of Initiative - St. Peter Part 3

Andy Churray drove all night from Wichita, Kansas, to share the mission and impact of Vagabond Missions. As Jesus was a vagabond during his earthly ministry, wandering to the margins of society to bring home the wanderers, Vagabond missionaries follow his example and bring the Good News to those the world ignores. Vagabond missionaries build friendships with and serve teens in urban and inner-city communities through weekly programs, outreach, and personal mentorship.When Bob and Kate Lesnefsky took their first positions in youth ministry at a parish in Schenectady, NY, they were surprised to find an inner-city community. They were even more surprised at how much fulfillment they found in bringing the Gospel to those on the margins. After four years in New York, Bob took what he believed at the time was the “dream” youth ministry job at a wealthy parish in Texas, but it only took a few months for him and Kate to realize that God was calling them back to the inner city.Teens in the inner city face a cycle of neglect, violence, and broken family life. This destructive environment has dire consequences for them and society. Vagabond Missions intervenes during this time of crisis by inviting them into a relationship with God and others. Through outreach and mentorship, teens experience hope for their lives and a place to call home. When teens tangibly experience Jesus, their lives are transformed.Follow <a href="https://vagabondmissions.com/">Vagabond Missions</a><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://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</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>

Enough "Cafeteria Catholicism"

Today we share the second half (<a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/videos/wordonfire-show/episode342">listen to the first half here</a>) of Bishop Barron's presentation titled "Breaking Through the Buffered Self," which he offered for the prestigious 2022 Albert Cardinal Meyer Lecture series hosted at Mundelein Seminary back in March 2022. In the talk, Bishop Barron looks at the intellectual matrix that has made the army of the disaffiliated possible, namely, what Charles Taylor calls the culture of the "buffered self," the ego cut off from any living contact with the transcendent. Then, using the three great transcendentals—the good, the true, and the beautiful—as his framework, he proposes ways to break through the buffered self and to open the restless heart to a consideration of God and the things of God.

WOF 076: Caesar, the Dude, and a Serious Man

In Session 1, we saw that men and society has reduced fatherhood to the exchange of a small amount of genetic material. Perhaps we’ve minimized the concept of fatherhood because we’ve minimized the concept of the human person. In this session, we will look at the mystery of the human person – starting with neurology.

The human person is mind and body – spirit and matter. You are the father of your child’s material body. God the Father creates your child’s spiritual soul. God the Father then uses your fatherhood to become a food for your child’s soul.

They will watch your every move and then incorporate it into working models of the world.  Let’s look at the example of St. Therese and St. Louis Martin.  Let us pray to produce good fruit like St. Louis Martin.

Fatherhood: Session 2 - The Mystery of a Child

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.

Friends, in many parts of the world the Catholic Church is shrinking. Parishes are closing or merging, pastors are devising strategies of consolidation.

WOF 361: What's Our Church's Growth Strategy?

What makes the Eucharist so special? Today's readings begin to unlock one of the deepest mysteries of our faith: Christ's true and real presence in the Blessed Sacrament of His Body and Blood; in the great gift that our Lord has given to us: his flesh for the life of the world.  Today Deacon Harold talks about Mark 11 and the Bread of Life. Also looking into Soulful Psalm Psalm 34:1-11 for Word of God Wednesday.

Bread of Life

In February 2025, Bishop Barron returned to the Palace of Westminster in London, UK, to address religious leaders and members of Parliament. The focus of his talk was the rhythm of divine mercy—the abounding love that arises within us when we accept the grace of Christ. Today we bring you the second half of that talk. Enjoy!

WOF 491: Parliamentary Address: The Rhythm of Divine Mercy (Part 2)

What happens when you celebrate Palm Sunday and break a historic NHL record in the same week—then try to plan a live podcast at a ballgame? 
This week, Deacon Bob Rice and Father Dave Pivonka, reunite after time on the road to talk sports, saints, and the start of Holy Week. They celebrate Alex Ovechkin surpassing Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goal record, reflect on the highs and heartbreaks of March Madness, and make ambitious plans for a live podcast episode from a Pirates game. Spoiler alert: Torpedo bats and Trevor Williams may be involved. 
Meanwhile, Father Dave shares about the overlooked power of Palm Sunday, inviting listeners to stay close to Christ throughout Holy Week—not skipping ahead to the Resurrection, but walking daily with Jesus through His Passion. From the colt that never bucked to the crowds that cheered then jeered, it's a timely call to praise Jesus for who He is, not just what we want Him to be. 
Also in this episode: Star Trek celebrity sightings, Minecraft movie madness, and what happens when Jack Black meets Jason Momoa (or a mimosa).

<h2>About our drink:</h2>
Bernheim Kentucky Straight Whiskey

At its launch, Bernheim Original Straight Wheat Whiskey was the first truly new variety of American straight wheat whiskey introduced since Prohibition. Heaven Hill Master Distillers saw an opportunity to give today's whiskey connoisseurs a unique taste experience. Bernheim was the only straight whiskey to use winter wheat as the primary grain in its mashbill, giving it a soft, sweet flavor and medium finish.

Today, on the front of the bottle, Bernheim proudly displays its finest attributes: Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey, small batch, and a 7 year age statement. With an age statement of 7 years, Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey truly is well worth the wheat. It is the only straight wheat whiskey distributed nationally. As a straight whiskey, it meets the same criteria as Bourbon or rye—aged a minimum of two years in new, charred oak barrels, distilled at less than 160 proof, and contains no coloring, flavoring or blending agents. As a small batch product, it is made with a dump of 100 barrels or less.

<h1><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCep--CNHo77hFq9WTDT3f2g" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fr. Jonathan Meyer</a> joins us to talk about his thoughts on Catholic Culture.</h1>
<h2>This episode is sponsored by friend and <a href="https://www.patreon.com/thecatholicmanshow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Council of Man member</a> Paul Day.</h2>
Great meeting you Paul at the <a href="https://www.e6catholicmensconference.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">E6 Men&#8217;s Conference</a> &#8211; thanks for the whiskey!
We are only able to do shows like this because of your support. Please consider becoming a <a href="https://www.patreon.com/thecatholicmanshow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PATREON supporter today!</a>
Fr. Jonathan Meyer was very kind and invited to his rectory to record an episode of TCMS with 7 of his seminarians. Fr. Meyer gave an excellent homily at the E6 Men&#8217;s conference (video below), but what stood out to us was the way he celebrated the liturgy. He had over 20 altar servers at the Holy Mass and we found out that is not abnormal for him at his parish! So we chatted with him about a clothing line he wants someone to start, the Catholic Culture he is created, and his prayer life.
We want to thank Joe Yunger, Andrew Middendorf, and the whole team for inviting us to the E6 Men&#8217;s Conference. Keep up the great work!

Fraternity & Friends in Low Places  | Rich Todd | Episode #228

Football frustration, birthday celebrations, and a million-dollar baseball card?
This week, Deacon Bob Rice and Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, bounce between sports, sacraments, science, and serious social issues—starting with the Super Bowl matchup they didn’t want but expected: Chiefs vs. Eagles. 
Along the way, they dig into the nuances of wearing clerics, honor a kid’s courage in turning down the Pirates, and highlight a new series bridging faith and science. But the conversation takes a thoughtful turn as they explore the complex Catholic response to immigration policy, urging a balance of justice, mercy, and human dignity. 
From birthday affirmations, to March for Life reflections, this episode is full of laughter, challenge, and signs of hope—reminding us that faith touches everything from the football field to the halls of Congress. Join the conversation as faith meets football, science, and social conscience. 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Super Bowl Set: Chiefs vs. Eagles  
The hosts reluctantly preview the <a href='https://www.nfl.com/super-bowl/'>big game</a>, discuss controversial ref calls, and air their mixed feelings about <a href='https://www.nfl.com/players/patrick-mahomes/'>Mahomes</a>, <a href='https://www.chiefs.com/team/coaches-roster/andy-reid'>Reid</a>, and <a href='https://www.chiefs.com/team/players-roster/travis-kelce/'>Kelce</a> (plus <a href='https://www.taylorswift.com/'>Taylor Swift</a> cameos). Father Dave checks betting lines; Deacon Bob groans. 
(06:13) Virtual Reality in the NFL &amp; Bad Calls on the Field  
<a href='https://www.sportscienceagency.com/blog/jayden-daniels-how-virtual-reality-and-ai-are-transforming-quarterback-decision-making'>Jaden Daniels’ VR training</a> sparks a conversation about innovation in sports—and what makes a game feel unfair. The hosts recall past playoff heartbreaks and share Super Bowl hopes (and grudges). 
(10:46) One Million-Dollar Baseball Card  
An 11-year-old unboxes a rare <a href='https://www.mlb.com/player/paul-skenes-694973'>Paul Skenes</a> rookie card and turns down a once-in-a-lifetime offer from the <a href='https://www.mlb.com/pirates'>Pirates</a>. The moral of the story? Sometimes wisdom comes from kids—and cash beats perks. 
(14:30) Faith and Science: Launching The Purposeful Lab  
Dr. Dan Kuebler’s new video series, <a href='https://faithandreason.com/series/purposeful-lab/'>the Purposeful Lab</a>, takes center stage. Inspired by <a href='https://www.magiscenter.com/'>Father Robert Spitzer’s legacy</a>, the series explores topics like gender, the human person, and how Catholics engage the sciences without fear.

This chapter is a self-diagnosis for parishes. Tim provides a framework of the four types of parishes. The diagnosis will serve as the starting point on your parish’s journey of renewal.


Chapter 4: The Four Types of Parishes 

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 hear about the beginning of the public ministry of Jesus Christ in Galilee and how Jesus fulfills ancient prophecy as the Messiah and we will hear about how the first disciples of the Divine King and Greatest Leader immediately leave everything to follow Jesus.  We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to pursue the Virtue of Prudence so he can repent and engage in the Spiritual Combat. We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to grow in the Virtue of Magnificence so he can take up the great work of Jesus Christ on earth.

Episode 12 - Jesus calls the Apostles and they immediately follow Him - Sunday Mass Prep - January 22, 2023 - Mt 4:12-23

There are 4 types of law and today Deacon Harold looks into Natural Law: The human interaction of participation in the eternal law; that portion of the law that can be known rationally. It is that portion of the eternal law placed within us by God by virtue of God creating human nature. Also we look at Soulful Psalm 40:7-10

How do we avoid the culture of conformity? One of the biggest challenges we face as Catholics is aligning our desires with the truth of the Gospel instead of the culture at large. As Pope St. John Paul II stated, “man is more valuable for what he is than what he has ”. In Episode Two, Andreas Widmer and Luke Burgis lead us to discover why it's important to make intentional choices to conform our life to Christ and the Gospel, instead of defaulting to the ways of others.

Work is a reflection of our social nature. When we work, “we don’t just make more, we become more.” We flourish and grow our God given gifts and talents as we provide services for the common good of our community.

In this conversation, Sean Lynn and Andre Regnier discuss various topics related to faith and evangelization. They start with a whiskey tasting and share a special moment at St. Joseph&#39;s Oratory. They talk about the hunger for more in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and the importance of productive and fruitful times in ministry. They discuss the distinction between evangelization and catechesis and the need for a relationship in evangelization. They also explore the role of weakness and mercy in the Christian life and the importance of establishing a daily prayer life. They end with a discussion on cooking steak and their favorite saints.
Takeaways
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a hunger for more and a greater interest in asking bigger questions about life and faith.
Evangelization is distinct from catechesis and involves inviting others to a relationship with Jesus rather than just providing information or formation.
Weakness is an opportunity for God to be strong, and mercy is essential in overcoming shame and allowing God&#39;s love and healing to enter our lives.
Establishing a daily prayer life is important for developing a relationship with God and discerning His will.
Cooking steak requires timing and resting the meat to ensure the best flavor and texture.

157: Discerning and living your vocation LIVE from Washing D.C.

Pints With Aquinas: 50+ Deep Thoughts From the Angelic Doctor - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pints-Aquinas-Thoughts-Angelic-Doctor/dp/0692752404/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1477940120&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=pints+with+aquinas">https://www.amazon.com/Pints-Aquinas-Thoughts-Angelic-Doctor/dp/0692752404/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1477940120&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=pints+with+aquinas</a> PintsWithAquinas.com --- Objection 1. It would seem that the star which appeared to the Magi belonged to the heavenly system. For Augustine says in a sermon on the Epiphany (cxxii): "While God yet clings to the breast, and suffers Himself to be wrapped in humble swaddling clothes, suddenly a new star shines forth in the heavens." Therefore the star which appeared to the Magi belonged to the heavenly system. Objection 2. Further, Augustine says in a sermon on the Epiphany (cci): "Christ was made known to the shepherds by angels, to the Magi by a star. A heavenly tongue speaks to both, because the tongue of the prophets spoke no longer." But the angels who appeared to the shepherds were really angels from heaven. Therefore also the star which appeared to the Magi was really a star from the heavens. Objection 3. Further, stars which are not in the heavens but in the air are called comets, which do not appear at the birth of kings, but rather are signs of their approaching death. But this star was a sign of the King's birth: wherefore the Magi said (Matthew 2:2): "Where is He that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east." Therefore it seems that it was a star from the heavens. On the contrary, Augustine says (Contra Faust. ii): "It was not one of those stars which since the beginning of the creation observe the course appointed to them by the Creator; but this star was a stranger to the heavens, and made its appearance at the strange sight of a virgin in childbirth." I answer that, As Chrysostom says (Hom. vi in Matth.), it is clear, for many reasons, that the star which appeared to the Magi did not belong to the heavenly system. First, because no other star approaches from the same quarter as this star, whose course was from north to south, these being the relative positions of Persia, whence the Magi came, and Judea. Secondly, from the time [at which it was seen]. For it appeared not only at night, but also at midday: and no star can do this, not even the moon. Thirdly, because it was visible at one time and hidden at another. For when they entered Jerusalem it hid itself: then, when they had left Herod, it showed itself again. Fourthly, because its movement was not continuous, but when the Magi had to continue their journey the star moved on; when they had to stop the star stood still; as happened to the pillar of a cloud in the desert. Fifthly, because it indicated the virginal Birth, not by remaining aloft, but by coming down below. For it is written (Matthew 2:9) that "the star which they had seen in the east went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was." Whence it is evident that the words of the Magi, "We have seen His star in the east," are to be taken as meaning, not that when they were in the east the star appeared over the country of Judea, but that when they saw the star it was in the east, and that it preceded them into Judea (although this is considered doubtful by some). But it could not have indicated the house distinctly, unless it were near the earth. And, as he [Chrysostom] observes, this does not seem fitting to a star, but "of some power endowed with reason." Consequently "it seems that this was some invisible force made visible under the form of a star." Wherefore some say that, as the Holy Ghost, after our Lord's Baptism, came down on Him under the form of a dove, so did He appear to the Magi under the form of a star. While others say that the angel who, under a human form, appeared to the shepherds, under the form of a star, appeared to the Magi. But it seems more probable that it was a newly created star, not in the heavens, but in the air near the earth, and that its movement varied according to God's will. Wherefore Pope Leo says in a sermon on the Epiphany (xxxi): "A star of unusual brightness appeared to the three Magi in the east, which, through being more brilliant and more beautiful than the other stars, drew men's gaze and attention: so that they understood at once that such an unwonted event could not be devoid of purpose." Reply to Objection 1. In Holy Scripture the air is sometimes called the heavens--for instance, "The birds of the heavens [Douay: 'air'] and the fishes of the sea." Reply to Objection 2. The angels of heaven, by reason of their very office, come down to us, being "sent to minister." But the stars of heaven do not change their position. Wherefore there is no comparison. Reply to Objection 3. As the star did not follow the course of the heavenly stars, so neither did it follow the course of the comets, which neither appear during the daytime nor vary their customary course. Nevertheless in its signification it has something in common with the comets. Because the heavenly kingdom of Christ "shall break in pieces, and shall consume all the kingdoms" of the earth, "and itself shall stand for ever" (Daniel 2:44).
