I think all of us agree that preaching the Gospel is a good thing.  I think all of us actually understand that that forms the heart of our faith.  But I don’ think all of us understand how we who are engaged in the world in secular business and in professions can actually be expected to preach the Gospel.  What does it look like for a Catholic business leader or professional to preach the Gospel?

DGT Episode 77 - Christ's Mission, Our Mission Part 11 - To Preach The Gospel

This week, John shares inspiring stories from a recent pilgrimage to Italy with Fr. James Clark and a group of 55 pilgrims. They visited sacred sites like Assisi, Lanciano, and the Vatican, experiencing the profound impact of Eucharistic miracles and venerating the relics of numerous saints. These moments not only deepened their faith but also strengthened the sense of community among the pilgrims.

John recounts personal, moving stories, such as an emotional experience at the site of the Eucharistic miracle in Lanciano, where he helped fellow pilgrims create third-class relics. He also shares a memorable gelato outing in Rome with teenage boys from the group, highlighting the importance of fellowship and making lasting memories. These experiences illustrate how pilgrimage can bring people closer to the Lord and to each other, fostering a family-like bond among participants.

In the final segment, John and Victor emphasize the importance of standing out in faith, inspired by Blessed Carlo Acutis and other saints. They discuss embracing one's unique calling and living boldly for Christ, despite life's challenges. John encourages listeners to strive for a deeper spiritual connection and look beyond the mundane. Don't miss out on these incredible journeys and how they can transform your faith.

Becoming a Manger - Living Advent with Father Malachy

Of all the sayings of Christ, His prohibition against judgement is one that has perplexed many for a long time.  Judging essential for leadership.  It is essential for living.  Then why would Christ forbid it?  What does this mean for us today?

DGT Episode 74 - Christ's Mission, Our Mission Part 8 - I Came To Judge

<h3>Deacon Stephen Robinson, Diocese of Calgary</h3>
In this episode of A Dram with Friends, we get to know a good and faithful servant to the Lord. &nbsp;Meet Deacon Stephen, a long time friend of Sean’s and a board member of God Squad Canada. &nbsp;From a boy who’d complain: “Surely the Pope doesn’t go to Mass as often as we do.” To a Deacon and Triathlete who ranks in the top 4 in the world in his age group.
Learn how a university drop out finally obtains a degree in Communication and a Masters in Theology. &nbsp;He teaches us the three kinds of books people have. &nbsp;Listen as this intellect opens his heart when he realizes that God sometimes calls us to be served in humility and how the parish community is so important to him.
Deacon tells us what drew him to join God Squad and what he’d say to his 18 year old self. &nbsp;Finally, as a twist, Sean asks: Who is your favourite saint and why? &nbsp;You’d be surprised. &nbsp;You have three guesses to get it right.

There’s a story where a father tells his son that there are two wolves fighting inside him, one fighting for good and one for evil. The son asks “which one will win?” The answer is “whichever one you feed.”

I think we are usually torn between doing our own will and doing the Lord’s, and trying to decide whether we will work for our own glory or God’s. Fortunately, the Scriptures have some things to say about that. Victor and I talked about a great example from the Old Testament: King David and King Saul.

Catholic author and speaker Bobby Angel joins the BeatiDudes for a bonus show about the challenges and joys of raising virtuous kids who love the Lord.

Get Derya's book, From Islam to Christ <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Islam-Christ-Womans-through-Riddles/dp/1621641120"> here</a>. Here's the excerpt from the Summa Contra Gentiles that I read: [Muhammad] seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence of the flesh goads us. His teaching also contained precepts that were in conformity with his promises, and he gave free rein to carnal pleasure. In all this, as is not unexpected, he was obeyed by carnal men. As for proofs of the truth of his doctrine, he brought forward only such as could be grasped by the natural ability of anyone with a very modest wisdom. Indeed, the truths that he taught he mingled with many fables and with doctrines of the greatest falsity. He did not bring forth any signs produced in a supernatural way, which alone fittingly gives witness to divine inspiration; for a visible action that can be only divine reveals an invisibly inspired teacher of truth. On the contrary, Muhammad said that he was sent in the power of his arms—which are signs not lacking even to robbers and tyrants. What is more, no wise men, men trained in things divine and human, believed in him from the beginning, Those who believed in him were brutal men and desert wanderers, utterly ignorant of all divine teaching, through whose numbers Muhammad forced others to become his followers by the violence of his arms. Nor do divine pronouncements on the part of preceding prophets offer him any witness. On the contrary, he perverts almost all the testimonies of the Old and New Testaments by making them into fabrications of his own, as can be. seen by anyone who examines his law. It was, therefore, a shrewd decision on his part to forbid his followers to read the Old and New Testaments, lest these books convict him of falsity. It is thus clear that those who place any faith in his words believe foolishly SCG 1, 6, 4.

DGT Episode 68 - Christ's Mission Part 2 - Bearing Witness To The Truth

It is impossible for man's happiness to consist in wealth. For wealth is twofold, as the Philosopher says (Polit. i, 3), viz. natural and artificial. Natural wealth is that which serves man as a remedy for his natural wants: such as food, drink, clothing, cars, dwellings, and such like, while artificial wealth is that which is not a direct help to nature, as money, but is invented by the art of man, for the convenience of exchange, and as a measure of things salable. Now it is evident that man's happiness cannot consist in natural wealth. For wealth of this kind is sought for the sake of something else, viz. as a support of human nature: consequently it cannot be man's last end, rather is it ordained to manas to its end. Wherefore in the order of nature, all such things are below man, and made for him, according to Psalm 8:8: "Thou hast subjected all things under his feet." And as to artificial wealth, it is not sought save for the sake of natural wealth; since man would not seek it except because, by its means, he procures for himself the necessaries of life. Consequently much less can it be considered in the light of the last end. Therefore it is impossible for happiness, which is the last end of man, to consist in wealth. --- The desire for natural riches is not infinite: because they suffice for nature in a certain measure. But the desire for artificial wealth is infinite, for it is the servant of disordered concupiscence, which is not curbed, as the Philosopher makes clear (Polit. i, 3). Yet this desire for wealth is infinite otherwise than the desire for the sovereign good. For the more perfectly the sovereign good is possessed, the more it is loved, and other things despised: because the more we possess it, the more we know it. Hence it is written (Sirach 24:29): "They that eat me shall yet hunger." Whereas in the desire for wealth and for whatsoever temporal goods, the contrary is the case: for when we already possess them, we despise them, and seek others: which is the sense of Our Lord's words (John 4:13): "Whosoever drinketh of this water," by which temporal goods are signified, "shall thirst again." The reason of this is that we realize more their insufficiency when we possess them: and this very fact shows that they are imperfect, and the sovereign good does not consist therein. ST I-II, Q2. A1.

SPIRITUAL SLUGGISHNESS: The Evils of Laziness and Anger | Mthr Natalia

Today we’re talking about one of the seven deadly sins: vanity. We all want to maintain a healthy, well-kempt appearance, but sometimes vanity crosses the line. When we obsess over imperfections such as hair loss, crooked teeth, or 10 extra pounds, we place too much attention on the superficial and not enough attention on what’s substantial: our relationship with God.

In this podcast, we learn that:
 - Excess vanity steals our peace and leads to what Pope Francis calls “wicked anxiety.”
 - Humility and honesty help combat vanity.

#8 Life Is Pure Gift

Friends, today we share a sample lesson from Bishop Barron's new Word on Fire Institute course titled <a href= "https://wordonfire.institute/courses/churchfathers" target= "_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">“Reading Scripture with the Early Church Fathers.”</a> In this course, Bishop Barron introduces the spiritual dynamics of Biblical exegesis in Origen and St. Augustine of Hippo. The Church Fathers did not separate Scripture and spirituality but saw the form of the spiritual life within the Scripture. As the key of the Scriptures, Christ is the key to the spiritual life. This course delves into the riches of how the Church reads Scripture, greatly inspired by the writings of Origen and St. Augustine.

After Stoicism - A Conversation on Boethius with Dr. Thomas Ward

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 Divine King, give the Parable of the Sheep and Goats which confirms that He will judge all nations and that His followers who practice the Works of Mercy will receive eternal life in His Kingdom and those who do not will be sent to the eternal fire with the devil and his demons. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to beg for the Gift of the Fear of the Lord so he can continually remember the Four Last Things. We’ll also consider the absolute importance for every Catholic man to practice the Corporal Works of Mercy by building the Virtue of Charity.

Episode 22 - Jesus reveals a sobering look at the Judgment in the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats - Lenten Daily Gospel Bible Study - Monday February 27, 2023 - Mt 25:31-46

In a world where men feel alone and friendless, it’s time to kick isolation to the curb. We men are starved for action and identity. But the culture can’t give it to us. It’s time to cut through the noise. To get back to basics.

Deep down, do you feel pointless and worthless? Like the best you can do for the world is sacrifice your life?

Time out. We’re worth infinitely more than that.

In Jesus, we are sons of God our Father. Every man is hounded by God's relentless love. You’re a man. You matter.

Join us live online for a free, 1-hour event hosted by Fr. Larry Richards, and HeroicMen. Let’s be clear: this isn't a feel-good happy hour. This is a kick-in-the-pants to sit up, step up, and claim your God-given identity.

We're going live on Thursday, November 30, at 8:30 pm to get clear on what Sons of the Father means.
This needs to get real, real fast. We’re not kidding when we say lives are at stake: self-harm rates and loneliness are an epidemic among men. It needs to stop. The Heroic Identity: Sons of the Father livestream is the line: This is where we stand. Here is where it ends.

Flip the script, change the game, and get off the sidelines of your own life. It's not about words; it's about action. Inspired by the Catholic faith, this is your call to return to identity as a son of God.

Sons of the Father with Fr Larry Richards

Having just finished his studies at Xavier in New Orleans, Pradeep Thoppil started working at Tulane Medical Center shortly before Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. As a first-year pharmacist, he was eager to help the team and volunteered to join the pre-hurricane team. He had no idea that when he entered the hospital that day, he would not leave until six and a half days later.Pradeep, a self-proclaimed weather nerd, shares when he realized that Katrina had made a turn and headed straight for New Orleans. What happened next is a wild tale of triumphs, trials, and the heroic efforts of the team inside the medical center. Pradeep’s recounting of the race against time includes flooding, the quick decision to move medications to higher floors, praying for people outside the hospital windows after the doors had to be locked for safety, the loss of power, water, and their food supply, creating and protecting a makeshift pharmacy, relocating patients into hallways as the storm’s pressure made the walls breath and windows break, and eventually moving patients up many flights of stairs and out to the parking garage for rooftop evacuation. At one point, Pradeep considered leaving the hospital to meet his parents, which led to an honest conversation with God in which Pradeep realized he was being called to stay for the long haul. Despite the trials that ensued, Pradeep knew he had made the right decision. Sharing this story with The BeatiDudes was not easy for Pradeep, as it brings back many deep and difficult emotions. Please join us in praying for Pradeep and all of those affected by natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Catholic Card Game</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>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>

Natural Law & Divine Revelation with Br. Anthony Akerman, O.P.

We need to be part of the economic and social recovery of the local communities with our tourism support, just like for victims of hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes and other disasters. Deacon Harold explains how we can do that and with God's help. Also, looking into Soulful Psalm 144:12-15

The Holy Land

Why Heroic Men

When we are in a position of leadership law can sometimes seem cumbersome.  And as Christian leaders we’ve developed our sense of autonomy and freedom and love to the point where many of us wonder why do we need rules in the church at all?  Sometimes it can be tempting to say, “those in charge make the rules” and that’s why the life of our Lord can be disconcerting.  Because he followed the law.  In this final part of our examination of Aquinas’ teaching on the life of our Lord, we draw valuable insights from the example of Christ for our lives as leaders today.

DGT Episode 295 - Leaders Under The Law - Leadership Lessons From Aquinas Part 5

The Point Men briefly check in on each other&apos;s lives before diving into true husbandry, which mimics that of Christ&apos;s relationship with the church.

Husbandry

John Linetti dives into the wisdom of St. Francis de Sales, a saint whose words resonate through centuries. In a world that's a bit of a rollercoaster lately, St. Francis's timeless advice on inner peace is like a beacon. Join John as he unravels the secrets to serenity, discovering the saint's practical teachings for our everyday lives.

"Surround yourself with holy friendships; they won't leave you empty."

As you soak in St. Francis de Sales' wisdom, take a moment to pray, seek inner peace, and surround yourself with a community striving for holiness.

Rod Dreher’s <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Benedict-Option-Strategy-Christians-Post-Christian/dp/0735213291/?tag=woonfi-20"> The Benedict Option: A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation</a> has certainly emerged as the most talked-about religious book of 2017. There is a widely-felt instinct that something has gone rather deeply wrong with the culture and that classical Christianity, at least in the West, is in a bit of a mess. So, do we need the Benedict Option now? In this episode, Bishop Robert Barron discusses the upsides and the pitfalls of employing the Benedict option during these difficult times. The listener question wonders how Christians should engage the political arena.
