Listen to the discussion here, and together let's pray for the victims and the entire Body of Christ.

WOF 218: The Intellectual Life

Eye of the Storm
Jake Khym, a past speaker for the annual God Squad Conference in 2020, was able to share a few days on the road with Sean Lynn, riding a motorcycle through BC and western Alberta. He reflects on being quiet amidst the noise and activity of life with all its distractions. Silence is a great teacher of understanding God’s majesty and the beauty of His creation. #godsquad #cmla #riders

Matt Reynolds joins the BeatiDudes to discuss faith, family, and business as the co-founder and brewmaster at Celestial Beerworks in Dallas. Matt weaves together the stories of entrepreneurship with his journey to the Catholic faith while providing delicious samples of his beer and carbonated water to the BeatiDudes. This episode also contains a new beer brainstorming session that we are hoping to see come to fruition. And, like always, we push the podcasting envelope by surprising Matt with a beer-tasting challenge to see if he can identify the names of three different beers from his brewery.<h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a>joinsolidarity.com <a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Decided Excellence</a> <a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Undivided Life</a><h2>Support Matt Reynolds:</h2><a href="www.celestialbeerworks.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Celestial Beerworks</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Pencil Bureau </a>

He believed that the Catholic Church was run by Satan, the whore of Babylon, and that the anti-christ would come directly from the papacy. Our guest today, Jeremy Robinson, fought against Catholics and evangelized to win souls to Christ. However, one day while reading the Scripture verse, "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have," he was struck and realized he could not answer this question to atheists or agnostics. It was the beginning of his journey to become Catholic.He is now on-fire to bring everyone to the Catholic Faith while running a full-service video production company that makes videos for Mercedes, Google, IBM, Canon, Gillette, Marriott, American Airlines, and many more. This is a story of passion, fear, loss of friends, pain, and Grace.Cardboard Spaceship - https://cardboard-spaceship.com/🔴 🔴 Help Support Our Need for Professional Studio Equipment and get 3 Months of Free Access to CG+ - https://catholicgentleman.com/supportA thank you to SENT Ventures for bringing us together. 🔴 Catholic Gentleman+ is Now Live - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com Learn more about your ad choices.

A Dram With Jimmy Dee

A pitcher getting ready for spring training with the Chicago Cubs. He had been with the Pittsburgh Pirates organization from 2016-2020, having initially been drafted into Major League Baseball as a second round pick by the Miami Marlins. As a student-athlete he had played his college baseball at Arizona State University. He is also co-founder of an organization called Project Thirty Four. He's a very dedicated member of the Knights of Columbus too.

CSR 106 Trevor Williams

Dive into this episode with John and Victor, where they chat about the ups and downs of supporting their loved ones through major life milestones. This time around, they're celebrating the big wins of Lily and Angela, and they don't shy away from sharing just how tough it's been to get here.

In a candid discussion, John opens up about his journey with ten men who are finding their way out of some really tough times, weaving in the powerful image of the vine and branches from John 15:1-8. They talk about the tough love of pruning—how stepping away from what God wants can hurt but also help us grow, and how being alone too much can really put our spirits at risk.

The guys hit home with the idea that saying "enough is enough" is a turning point. They delve into the wisdom of Proverbs 18:1 and St. Francis of Assisi, who warned about the soul's search for quick fixes when it's troubled and lonely. They also bring up insights from 1 Peter 5:8-11, reminding us that everyone's got struggles, not just us.

Drawing on Henri Nouwen's thoughts, they discuss how healing starts when we share our pain and step into the fight against darkness together. They compare deep isolation to being in solitary confinement, where hope begins to fade, and stress how vital it is to stay connected to others—how we need each other to make it to heaven.

This episode is more than just a conversation; it's a call to anyone feeling stuck in their mistakes or swallowed by solitude. It's about finding hope and strength in each other's stories and remembering that no one has to go it alone. Tune in for some real talk, genuine stories, and a shared journey back to spiritual health. Whether you're looking for a bit of comfort, some understanding, or just a way back, this episode promises to be your companion.

In addition to all the good things like a faith community, prayer, worship, learning, and service, the most important thing of all is salvation. The Church’s primary mission is to continue Christ’s mission of saving souls here on earth. And as we have learned throughout this course, this offer of salvation is something we freely choose to accept and has implications for our lives.In this episode you will learn that ...■ The primary mission of the Church is to continue Christ’s mission of salvation here on earth after He returned to His Father in Heaven, which the Church, in part, accomplishes by providing an entryway into a relationship with God and the Church community — the Body of Christ.■ The Catholic Church is responsible for the canon of Scripture.■ In Jesus, God has given us a visible, concrete, human way of relating to Him, of entering into relationship with Him.■ The Church helps us encounter the Lord by teaching the proper interpretation of Scripture, at Mass, in the lives and writings of the saints, in retreats and devotions, in the prayerful reading of Scripture, and through works of art and music that lead us closer to Christ and the Virgin Mary.■ The Church provides three vital ways for us to more deeply live in relationship with God and His community: worship, learning, and service.■ We can learn to best imitate Christ in our lives by looking at His example in Scripture, by engaging in Examen prayer, and taking part in a ministry in which we can imitate Him.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

203: Anxiety, Trauma and Addiction

God does not rest, He is always working. There are so many moments in our lives that we take for granted but God doesn't. He sees them, He is with us and He is working.

God works in all the moments, big and small, good and bad, He is there. Take some time this week to reflect on the different areas in your daily life where you can see God working. Remember you are not alone, He is with you!

#50  GOD IN YOUR LIFE

Something special about every act of leadership is that it makes us alone.  The famous phrase, “it is lonely at the top” applies well to leader in every state.  But is this just an accident?  Or is it in fact a blessing?  When Mary was chosen by God to be the Mother of God, she had to fill the task no one else could fill.  But she embraced it as being chosen by God and therefore holding His hand into the great unknown that he would lead her.  And so she becomes an example for Christian leaders in every age.

A Dram with Sean Blair

In this episode of “Pints with Aquinas,” writer Suan Sonna drops by the studio to chat about his Baptist upbringing, his initial embrace of leftist politics, and what led him to become a conservative Catholic.

7 Lost Catholic Traditions And Why We Need To Bring Them Back

On the first day of the calendar year, the Church celebrates The Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God. This day honors the Blessed Virgin Mary under the aspect of her motherhood of Jesus. With her great "yes" to the Divine Will, Mary effectively reverses the negative trajectory caused by the great "no" of the world's first woman, Eve. Today's episode of the Word on Fire Show discusses how Mary, the Mother of God, represents the New Eve who ushers forth the New Adam, the Savior of the World, Jesus Christ. The listener question asks about the perpetual virginity of Mary.

It's commonly assumed that J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, was an arch-conservative, a backward-looking person, and that he valued nothing that smacked of the modern day. But in a groundbreaking new book titled <a href= "https://wordonfire.org/tolkien">Tolkien's Modern Reading: Middle-earth Beyond the Middle Ages</a>, the first in our Word on Fire Academic line of titles, Dr. Holly Ordway reveals that Tolkien was a much broader reader than previously believed. He was quite familiar with contemporary writers and books, and those modern sources significantly shaped his Middle-earth stories. Today, Brandon Vogt interviews Holly about her new book and some of the modern writers Tolkien enjoyed.

Manipulation: AI and social media are designed to manipulate users by showing content that maximizes engagement, often through sensational and emotional triggers.2. Isolation: Despite increasing connectivity, social media often leads to superficial connections and deeper feelings of loneliness.3. Navigation: To navigate the digital landscape, individuals need unshakeable beliefs and values to anchor themselves amidst the constant manipulation.4. Personal Data: Users must understand that sharing personal information online is akin to sharing their digital soul, which can be used to manipulate them.5. Decision Fatigue: Social media bombards users with countless decisions, draining their mental energy and affecting their ability to make important life choices.6. Emotional Control: Constant exposure to dopamine-inducing content on social media impacts motivation and mental health, leading to issues like addiction and reduced life satisfaction.7. Technology and Automation: Users must be cautious about what aspects of their lives they allow AI to automate, as it can lead to loss of control and increased manipulation.Dr. Ed encourages men to be proactive in their faith and digital interactions, urging them to share their stories and build authentic connections.

Can I baptize a baby on the sly? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Today we hear the last words spoken by the Virgin Mary that are recorded in Scripture: “Do whatever he tells you.”  Through her remarkable witness of faith and her openness to God’s heart—which brought Life itself into the world—the Blessed Mother intercedes for us and leads us to her Son.  Deacon Harold dives more into the readings and the Soulful Psalm 50

How should we respond when the culture becomes inhospitable if not actively hostile to Christian values? Sadly, biblical and natural law points of view are unwelcome now in many of the institutions that constitute the core of our society, including corporations, public schools, higher education, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, the legacy media, and even government entities themselves. What can Christians do to resist persecution by these secular powerhouses? How can we understand what it means to resist those who undermine Christians in light of Christ’s command to love our enemies?

Advent- Remember Your Blessings

We fight so hard to seek fulfillment in our lives. We pursue careers, money, fame, accolades and so many other activities that leave us empty. The reality is that there is one thing in our lives that we just can't replace, one thing that completes us in a way that nothing else will. That irreplaceable thing is God.

Why is God irreplaceable? Because God loves you in ways that even your spouse can't love you. God knows you better than anyone else, He knows your strengths and He knows your weaknesses. All of the things we hide from others, God knows them. He is the only one who completely and totally understands the person you are and still He loves you. 

He loves you so greatly that He took all of your faults, all of your brokenness, and He claimed them as His own. He allowed Himself to be condemned beaten and killed so that you could see there isn't anything that He wouldn't do for you. God fulfills us because He is the one person that will never abandon you no matter what you do or who you are. All you have to do is claim Him the way He claims you.

The Point Men discuss the importance of Fatherhood and the responsibilities that come with it.

Forging Fatherhood

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 Jesus, the Lamb of God, speak again of His coming murder on the Cross and of His command that His disciples must follow His example and be a servant to all. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to constantly seek the Fruits of the Spirit, including Peace and Joy, so a he can be a joyful example to others and draw them to Jesus. We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to reject the deadly sin of envy and build the Virtue of Kindness so a he can be a constant blessing to others.

Living a life according to virtue is difficult for anybody.  But those in roles of leadership are under particular scrutiny by those whom they serve.  Everyday their every decision has impact on the lives of those who are underneath them.  For this reason, leaders have a special need for the virtue of justice.  By justice each person is given what is their due.  But justice presents special challenges both in its acquisition and in its practice.  Thank goodness for God’s grace.

DGT Episode 195 - Justice - Defenders And Promoters - The Virtuous Leader Part 6

I chat with Fr. Gregory Pine about the 7 Sacraments! As stated above, the sacraments of the Church were instituted for a twofold purpose: namely, in order to perfect man in things pertaining to the worship of God according to the religion of Christian life, and to be a remedy against the defects caused by sin. And in either way it is becoming that there should be seven sacraments. For spiritual life has a certain conformity with the life of the body: just as other corporeal things have a certain likeness to things spiritual. Now a man attains perfection in the corporeal life in two ways: first, in regard to his own person; secondly, in regard to the whole community of the society in which he lives, for man is by nature a social animal. With regard to himself man is perfected in the life of the body, in two ways; first, directly [per se, i.e. by acquiring some vital perfection; secondly, indirectly [per accidens, i.e. by the removal of hindrances to life, such as ailments, or the like. Now the life of the body is perfected "directly," in three ways. First, by generation whereby a man begins to be and to live: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Baptism, which is a spiritual regeneration, according to Titus 3:5: "By the laver of regeneration," etc. Secondly, by growth whereby a man is brought to perfect size and strength: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Confirmation, in which the Holy Ghost is given to strengthen us. Wherefore the disciples who were already baptized were bidden thus: "Stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high" (Luke 24:49). Thirdly, by nourishment, whereby life and strength are preserved to man; and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the Eucharist. Wherefore it is said (John 6:54): "Except you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you shall not have life in you." And this would be enough for man if he had an impassible life, both corporally and spiritually; but since man is liable at times to both corporal and spiritual infirmity, i.e. sin, hence man needs a cure from his infirmity; which cure is twofold. one is the healing, that restores health: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Penance, according to Psalm 40:5: "Heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee." The other is the restoration of former vigor by means of suitable diet and exercise: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Extreme Unction, which removes the remainder of sin, and prepares man for final glory. Wherefore it is written (James 5:15): "And if he be in sins they shall be forgiven him." In regard to the whole community, man is perfected in two ways. First, by receiving power to rule the community and to exercise public acts: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the sacrament of order, according to the saying of Hebrews 7:27, that priests offer sacrifices not for themselves only, but also for the people. Secondly in regard to natural propagation. This is accomplished by Matrimony both in the corporal and in the spiritual life: since it is not only a sacrament but also a function of nature. We may likewise gather the number of the sacraments from their being instituted as a remedy against the defect caused by sin. For Baptism is intended as a remedy against the absence of spiritual life; Confirmation, against the infirmity of soul found in those of recent birth; the Eucharist, against the soul's proneness to sin; Penance, against actual sin committed after baptism; Extreme Unction, against the remainders of sins—of those sins, namely, which are not sufficiently removed by Penance, whether through negligence or through ignorance; order, against divisions in the community; Matrimony, as a remedy against concupiscence in the individual, and against the decrease in numbers that results from death. Some, again, gather the number of sacraments from a certain adaptation to the virtues and to the defects and penal effects resulting from sin. They say that Baptism corresponds to Faith, and is ordained as a remedy against original sin; Extreme Unction, to Hope, being ordained against venial sin; the Eucharist, to Charity, being ordained against the penal effect which is malice. order, to Prudence, being ordained against ignorance; Penance to Justice, being ordained against mortal sin; Matrimony, to Temperance, being ordained against concupiscence; Confirmation, to Fortitude, being ordained against infirmity.

197: Why The 7 Sacraments? W/ Fr. Gregory Pine

I'm doing something different today. I want to share with you a debate between Catholic apologist Patrick Madrid and Protestant apologist James White on the topic of Sola Scriptura. This debate took place in 1993—I was just 10 years old!! Watch as James White argues that Christians should view the Bible as the sole, infallible rule of faith. And then watch as Patrick Madrid counters with the Catholic view on the Bible's role in our faith lives. This debate sent SHOCKWAVES through the Christian church in 1993, and I think it's just as powerful today as it was back then. Big thanks to Pat Madrid for letting us share it. 🔴 Check out Patrick Madrid's assessment of the debate in this article: <a href= "https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/the-white-mans-burden"> https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/the-white-mans-burden</a> Enjoy!  SPONSORS EL Investments: <a href= "https://www.elinvestments.net/pints">https://www.elinvestments.net/pints</a>  Exodus 90: <a href= "https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/">https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/</a>  Hallow: <a href= "http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a>  STRIVE: <a href= "https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> GIVING Patreon: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.
