The Flying Fathers were a hockey team of Catholic priests originally started back in the early 1960s. There is optimism of-late for the team's resurrection, according to Father John Perdue, Director of Vocations for the Diocese of Peterborough in Ontario, Canada. He not only is playing for the team but leading their return. He talks about it during this conversation that was recorded while he was in Rome for the canonization of the five newest saints.

WOF 292: Bishop Barron Presents: Jessica Hooten Wilson

In this new “Bishop Barron Presents” discussion, Bishop Barron sits down with bestselling author Tara Isabella Burton to discuss her new book, <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Strange-Rites-Religions-Godless-World/dp/1541762533/?tag=woonfi-20">Strange Rites: New Religions for a Godless World</a>. Burton argues that while younger generations are supposedly the most secular according to surveys, they’re actually notably religious—it’s just that they have adopted strange new religions. She claims today’s Americans are embracing a kaleidoscopic panoply of spiritual traditions, rituals, and subcultures, from astrology and witchcraft to SoulCycle and the alt-right. In search of the deep and the real, they are finding meaning, purpose, ritual, and communities in ever-newer, ever-stranger ways. In their conversation, Bishop Barron and Tara discuss topics such as: <ul> <li>Are people actually moving away from religion?</li> <li>The unaffiliated</li> <li>The retreat into self</li> <li>Christian truth claims</li> <li>Why people leave organized religion</li> <li>And numerous other topics</li> </ul> Links <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Strange-Rites-Religions-Godless-World/dp/1541762533/?tag=woonfi-20"> Strange Rites: New Religions for a Godless World</a> by Tara Isabella Burton</li> <li><a href= "https://books.wordonfire.org/redeemingthetime" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Redeeming the Time: Gospel Perspectives on the Challenges of the Hour</a> by Bishop Barron</li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bishopbarron">Become a patron</a> and get some great perks for helping, like free books, bonus content, and more.

Terms like “safe spaces,” “trigger warnings,” “harm reduction,” “micro-aggression,” “emotional wellbeing” and “fragility” are dominating the culture as well as the governance of many institutions.

A Story of Egypt, the Desert, and Conquest | Guest Fernando Aceves

Anyone charged with leadership has to constantly confront difficulty.  In fact any leader will tell you that problems are their playing field.  But confronting difficulty and challenge is not always easy.  It takes courage and bravery.  Pope Leo the Great, the Bishop of Rome from 440 AD to 461 AD, gives us an example of tremendous courage in the face of controversy.  The example he gives in his day can strengthen us to do the challenges in front of us each day in the office and in the family.

DGT Episode 287 - Braving Confrontation With Leo The Great - Leadership Lessons From The Saints Part 5

We are in the midst of a series about True Transformation, and we kicked it all off last week talking about fasting. While fasting is one of the great gifts of the Church that can help us to elicit change, it's never going to reach its potential unless it is yoked with a solid prayer life. They are two sides of the same coin. Whenever you see fasting in the scriptures, prayer is not far behind. One allows the other to bear lasting fruit.
The problem for so many of us, though, is that we don't have a meaningful prayer life. Sure, we go to church and we check the boxes, praying while at Mass or before meals, but so many of us just haven't made establishing and growing our prayer life a regular priority. It's just the truth. If we want to become the men that God calls us to be, then we have to build an intimate relationship with Christ through prayer. Listen in this week as John shares about the importance of building a powerful life of prayer and the effect it can have on sustaining lasting change.

True Transformation: Growing in Your Prayer Life

Carson Weber, founder of On Fire Media, discovered a way to work for the Church without working for the Church. Through his team’s branding expertise and focus on helping mission-driven companies, Carson has answered the call to catechesis. After graduating from Texas A&amp;M University, Carson felt a calling in his heart. He wanted to spend more of his life studying and growing closer to Christ. This discernment led Carson to Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio, to work with Dr. Scott Hahn and earn his Master of Arts in Theology &amp; Christian Ministry with an emphasis in Catechetic Theology. While at Franciscan, Carson learned that “God loves you, and Barbara Morgan has a plan for your life.” Upon meeting Barbara, Carson realized he was called to a life of catechesis. He also met his wife while working with Barbara. Five kids later, the Weber family credits the Holy Spirit working through Barbara for many of the great things in their lives. In 2012, Carson resigned from his diocesan position to pursue his entrepreneurial dream of working full-time from home to be more present as a husband and father to his growing family. He founded On Fire Media, a web development and digital marketing agency that serves commercial and non-profit entities, including Catholic parishes, ministries, and schools, through CatholicWebsite.com.This show was almost a bust due to technical issues, but thankfully, former BeatiDudes guest Alex Trevino saved the day and allowed Carson Weber to share his heart and his journey with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein.

While seeing how leaders fail is never pleasant, it can also be very instructive.  The rise and the fall of King Saul in the Bible presents us a good example of a life gone awry in authority.  His jealousy over David is the most well known symptom but the cause of his downfall is rooted in something much deepers.  Not only character flaws but a stubborn pride that keeps him from accepting God’s will.  Here’s part three on my series on King Saul.

Terror of Demons w/ Fr. Donald Calloway

"For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit." - John 3:34It's important for us to remember the great things that God has done for us. Often we become consumed with our daily struggles and forget all that that Lord has done. We may also only focus on God not doing what we want of him. One of the blessings of the Holy Spirit is that the Spirit reminds us what Jesus said and what he has done for us. There is no limit to what God has done or what he desires to do in our lives.<a href="https://wildgoose.tv/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Wild Goose Website</a> | <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hOAVbPbyXfzLijwZdhtcqa9_9bHFiff1/view?usp=drive_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Study Guide</a>

WOF 255: Kids Q&A w/ Bishop Barron (October 2020)

Pope St. John Paul II used the term “culture of death'' in his 1995 encyclical Evangelium Vitae to capture the secular world’s dark confluence of poisonous ideas and practices that lead—directly and indirectly—to spiritual and physical ruin. Sadly, we’ve seen the the culture of death advance on many fronts. Today, we focus on the increasing legalization of suicide in the United States and abroad. Listen as we discuss the issue and how Catholics can and should respond to it.  A listener asks why we pray for the dead, and can we pray for the souls on atheists and non-Catholics? 00:00 | Intro  01:18 | Bishop Barron's recent diocesan work  02:34 | The role of euphemism in the euthanasia debate  06:39 | Unpacking "autonomy" and "compassion"  12:31 | Responding to critics of the slippery slope argument  20:56 | The State's role in moral disputes  24:40 | How can Catholics positively respond to euthanasia?  26:50 | Listener question  28:15 | Word on Fire Institute SHOW NOTES: <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_25031995_evangelium-vitae.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Evangelium Vitae</a></li> <li>“<a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/its-not-your-life-its-not-your-death-its-not-your-choice/">It’s Not Your Life, It’s Not Your Death, It’s Not Your Choice</a>” article by Bishop Barron</li> <li><a href= "https://www.compassionandchoices.org/resource/states-or-territories-where-medical-aid-in-dying-is-authorized"> https://www.compassionandchoices.org/resource/states-or-territories-where-medical-aid-in-dying-is-authorized</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254197/assisted-suicide-in-the-united-states-where-is-it-legal" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254197/assisted-suicide-in-the-united-states-where-is-it-legal</a></li> <li>Learn more about the Word on Fire Institute: <a class= "yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--display-type yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" tabindex="0" href= "https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbHU3akV5RExKNWd4VDc3RXNJNTVxNHNnR0o0Z3xBQ3Jtc0ttVE5TdWdUVWplRUVJOVZOT2RVdDFSbHBYbzFkZHJFY2kwcHVxVC1BOE5jdlRoX1J6SG01N015cHZHLUFuTU1BTjF3a0JaVzJRaEZVU3c3VVVodGNheDNyMzl2d0FPRUdLSkIydjlqYmw5Smd1NXZ4dw&q=https%3A%2F%2Finstitute.wordonfire.org%2F&v=FQZTExjyRCE" target="_blank" rel= "nofollow 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>!

Responding to Transgenderism With Truth and Mercy w/ Jason Evert

"The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness." - Pope Benedict XVI

You don't have to look around long to see that the world needs Catholics that are willing to boldly live their faith. Unfortunately, many of us can often find ourselves retreating back into the comfort and safety of those like us. While there is nothing wrong with surrounding ourselves with like minded people, we must never close the door to those in need or become uninviting to the unchurched. Jesus never said you are not welcome in my group or at my table and neither should we. Listen in this week as John and Victor discuss the importance of fighting the urge to retreat back into the comfort and safety of the initiated while challenging us to become the missionary disciples we are called to be. It's time to get uncomfortable.  

In this episode John and Victor discuss:
- The need to return to the mentality of a missionary church
-  Fighting the urge to close ourselves off in small groups that aren't welcoming to those in need. 
- Running towards the unchurched instead of away from them.
- Loving people the way Jesus did

It's Time To Get Uncomfortable

Embrace the silence for God.
…
Hosts Pat Lencioni and Chris Stefanick give a daily reflection for Christians in the workplace.

The Vital Need for Relationship

This talk was presented live in the Heroic Brotherhood, and followed by a live Q&A session. Join | Learn more

Kevin Matthews shares a talk crafted (for the first time) for men. Men carry wounds, wounds we often ignore. Many of us assume these wounds don’t make us worthy. But Kevin hopes to give us a new story. A story where we, as sons of the Father, are broken, yes. Broken, but loved. And that makes every difference in the world. 

Members joined this event, and then headed into breakout rooms to chat with small clusters of men. During our ‘Return to the Father’ event, one attendee said ‘it was PURE FIRE’. 

Broken but Loved | Kevin Matthews  

"If we don't have a relationship with one another, then we're missing out on the greatest gifts of life, which is friendship."

On this week's episode John welcomes David Hall, one of his closest friends, to discuss the importance of authentic friendship. The two of them discuss the need for genuine connections and the impact it can have on a man's life and his faith. They share personal stories of their friendship and how it has made them better men. John and David encourage us to be open and willing to invest time in building meaningful relationships with others. They also discuss the importance of finding common ground and being vulnerable with one another.  

How will you build a true and vulnerable friendship? Will you allow your friendships to bring you and your family closer to heaven? 

In this episode, John and David discuss:
-The importance of friendship.
-How vulnerability and trust can build relationships.
-How true friendships amongst men can impact society as a whole.
-What true friendship is or isn't.

The Need For Real Friendship

Friends, today we share my recent <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjxKG4mR3U4">“Bishop Barron Presents” discussion with Shia LeBeouf</a>. Shia is an actor famous for his roles in Transformers, Honey Boy, and Peanut Butter Falcon, among other films. His most recent role is as the young Padre Pio in a new biopic on the great saint, a role which changed his life as he explains in this discussion. His story of conversion is profound and I think you will find it deeply moving.

WOF 350: Finding the Way to God w/ Shia LaBeouf

We have seen that we were created to be “like God.” We were created to become a manifestation of God the
Father ... who is “rich in mercy” (Ephesians 2:4). Men have struggled to live their noble calling “from the beginning.” We are struggling to live it now.

A certain darkness has once more descended upon the world. Two thousand years ago, the light of Christ came to abide in Nazareth. We must take a moment to carefully consider Nazareth. We must consider the life of St. Joseph at Nazareth.

The pathway to fulfilling the vision of the man were created to be is simple … it’s just not easy! Therefore, you need to travel the journey with other men. It has been amazing what TMIY men have accomplished together!

Manhood: Session: 4 A Light in the Darkness

Grab a seat in the pew as we look at how we’re called to respond to Jesus Christ, using real people from the Bible as examples.

In this podcast we’ll learn that: 
- Life is made up of responses, including “no” 
- The way you respond to Christ has eternal consequences
- Both Peter and Judas betrayed Jesus, but their responses made all the difference.
