Listening to God

John Edwards fell to his knees in a jail cell, and promised to turn his life around, if Christ would make a deal with him. 

In a world plagued by isolation and struggle, men are seeking authenticity and purpose. Men are grappling with issues such as addiction, lack of meaningful relationships, marital challenges, and a disconnect from Christ. The absence of genuine community and mentorship has left many men feeling like isolated warriors. We need is for a safe space where men can drop their façades, connect on a deeper level, and embark on a journey of spiritual growth. 

John Edwards reflects on his personal struggles with addiction and marital issues, his encounter with Jesus in a jail cell, and his commitment to sharing vulnerabilities and building authentic relationships among men. The narrative emphasizes the importance of men leading in faith and fostering a real connection with Christ, confronting issues like addiction, isolation, and lack of authentic friendship.

The mission is clear create enduring and impactful men's groups, build true community, and restore broken lives.

John Edwards is the founder and Executive Director of Pew Ministries, a Catholic apostolate with the mission of bringing the person of Jesus Christ to the person in the pew. John is also a Catholic speaker and evangelist that has spoken in Canada and across the United States. He is also the co-founder of Virtual Catholic Conference LLC. John currently travels the country helping men start life-changing men's groups providing them with leadership training. 

Why are we here? | John Edwards

Simon and Jude were ordinary men who were chosen by Jesus himself to teach others about God’s love and to “make disciples of all nations.” Deacon Harold looks more into life and relationship to Christ. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 96:1-8.

Saints Simon and Jude, Apostles

Anyone moved by the love of God wants to Dare Great Things For Christ!  But ironically most of our time is spent by doing little things.  When we look at the life of the Virgin Mary, the Queen of Heaven and Earth, we see that much of her life was spent doing little things.  Does this mean she wasn’t a leader?  Or in fact is leadership not best expressed by the way that we do the small things?  The life of Jesus and Mary in Nazareth before the beginning of his missionary life is an example of leadership in the little things.

DGT Episode 234 - Leadership And The Little Things - Mary Queen Of Leaders Part 6

Many Christians today feel intimidated.  The culture around us is shifting and ideas and notions foreign to the Bible are gaining a cultural foothold.  Many today feel a sense of loss or hopelessness in front of the situations.  But is today’s situation for a Christian that much different than the one that was confronted by the Apostles?  Was the world of St. Paul that much different from today’s world?  Where did St. Paul gain his strength?  What allowed him to lead?  In this new series we explore his soul and the source of his leadership in Christ.

Alejandra Herrera | Evangelization in the Hyphen

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re silently carrying the weight of the world—brokenness, shame, or wounds you’ve never been able to share. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to carry it by yourself anymore.

Last weekend, the  @JPIIHealingCenter   hosted the first-ever Restored Men’s Healing Conference, and it was powerful. Men from all over the country (and even other countries!) showed up with open hearts, some for the very first time. These were men who had been silently suffering for years—dealing with wounds from abandonment, addiction, rejection, or just feeling like they’re not enough. Over the weekend, we watched God work in incredible ways as men opened up, shared their stories, and allowed Christ to step into those broken places. It was humbling and hopeful.

In this episode, Victor and I unpack some of the key takeaways from the conference and dive deep into the struggles many of us face but rarely talk about. We’ll cover why we feel like we need to hide our pain, how self-reliance is a trap, and most importantly, how God’s grace can reshape the broken parts of our lives.

Here’s the truth: Healing is possible. You can start today. You don’t have to have it all figured out; you just have to take one step forward. Let’s talk about how.

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

The Power of Vulnerability

Today Deacon Harold celebrates the fact that the Blessed Mother was conceived without Original Sin. This is not a difficult teaching to accept if we remember that it was God's original intention that all humans begin their existence in the family of God in the state of saving grace.

Weird Parts of the Life of Prayer | Fr. Gregory Pine O.P.

The line between science and faith is one we have been walking on for decades and Deacon Harold chats with Fr. Robert Spitzer about his new book, "New Proofs for the Existence of God" to help prep us for when we get asked questions of faith that science tries to explain or debunk. Also we look at Soulful Psalm 20

This week John and Victor look back to Holy Week and and share the fruits and struggles of living out those very special days. Do you move on from the Passion and Resurrection the day after Easter? Or are you diving into the Easter season with greater zeal? 

In this episode, John and Victor talk about:

- Will this be the year you actually conquer your fears? 
- The power of watching, witnessing and being named in scripture. 
- We don’t share because we are afraid of the consequences
- The TRUTH matters.
- “Christ didn’t think twice about what this was going to cost him”

Guarding the Intellect from Isaiah the Solitary

In this episode, we hear from the prolific Catholic writer, speaker, and television host, Donna Marie Cooper O'Boyle, and how Jesus, Mary, the Sacraments, and the Saints helped her through many trials and periods of suffering in her life. Donna has written more than 35 books, many of which are on the lives and teachings of the Saints, and she offers messages that are universal, but are especially in tune with a woman's heart. We also give clarity to the truth we profess in the Apostles' Creed: "I believe in... the Communion of Saints."Visit Donna-Marie's website and sign up for her newsletter at: <a href="https://www.donnacooperoboyle.com/blog/">https://www.donnacooperoboyle.com/blog/</a> Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David Hajduk, Ph.D.Visit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

Alan Diaz didn’t find belonging in the streets of Harlem or in a gang; he found it in real brotherhood. Growing up without a father, he got pulled into the Bloods, searching for something that could never fill the void. The regret weighed heavy, but his story didn’t end there.Alan’s life took a turn when love and faith stepped in—starting with his wife, Daniela, and powerful mentors like Father Orlando and his brother Mike. They didn’t just support him; they showed him the way to redemption.Here’s the punchline: true strength isn’t about playing tough. It’s about humility, forgiveness, and the bonds you build in Christ’s love. Alan’s journey is proof that the hardest struggles can forge the most authentic relationships. And if you’re still chasing something real, it’s time to look in the right place.

From Gang Life to Grace: Alan Diaz's Journey to Seek Heroic Manhood

Excerpt 1: "All this said, if one imagines being Luther in such a time and place in history, he can fathom feeling victimized. He can fathom taking similar steps. He can fathom standing up for apparent freedom, for right theology and the like. Independent of Luther’s shaky vow, tormented conscience, and rampant fear of God’s wrath, one realizes the selling of indulgences and other abuses are gravely immoral and should be exposed. However, for these abuses to pave a road toward new doctrine and a denial of sacred Tradition is gravely immoral as well. Though not taught explicitly by Luther, Johann Tetzel’s actions became a microcosm for the entire Church. For abuses—those not taught dogmatically, but simply the result of corrupt Church members—to mark an entire religious belief system is common, but not logical. Even if appealing to personal conscience, throwing out the baby, the bathwater, and the house itself sets an earth-shattering precedent."&nbsp;
Excerpt 2: "Though few would admit the parallel, Luther communicated as authoritatively as the Pope speaking ex cathedra—another major reason why his cause appeared to transition away from historic reform and instead leaned toward uprising. This proved that power did not leave the earth and return to heaven, as the reformers inferred; rather, it simply switched human hands. One authority was the Vicar of Christ—the Bishop of Rome—whose Chair could be traced to the time of Jesus; the other, with the Bible interpreted in isolation, could be viewed as the Bishop of Tome, whose chair could be traced to the early 16th century."&nbsp;
Excerpt 3: "With Luther as a theological arbiter, this marked another stark difference between him and More. More had allegiance to King Henry, but not above the Church; Luther had allegiance to the Church, but not above Scripture. Both understood the need for an ultimate authority. Luther chose himself under the guise of Scripture; More—citing 1 Timothy 3:15—chose God under the mantle of Christ’s Church."&nbsp;
Excerpt 4: "At such a point, it was irrelevant if Luther blamed demons, fellow reformers, or the Catholic Church for such a spontaneous combustion. The pressure had been released—with extreme consequences. With Scripture viewed in isolation, any conscience could see what it wanted (or needed) to see in the Holy Word. Any doctrine could be affirmed; likewise, any doctrine could be disputed. It all depended on men’s convictions, their claims of being inspired by the Holy Spirit, and their motives—which, by the way, could change at a moment’s notice. In the process of trying to stifle the Papacy, dozens of mini papacies were erected in its place."&nbsp;

A Dram With Rich Buoni

This bonus episode with Jonathan J. Sanford, Ph.D. is an incredible testament to the value of family and fortitude. The Dudes start off with a special bonus edition of Blessed are the Joke Makers in which each one acts as a different character to address the question, “The best pilgrimages offer ___________ to its pilgrims.” Dr. Sanford is put on the spot to determine each character and does a great job in the process. Dr. Sanford goes on to discuss the incredible journey that he and his wife embarked on as high school sweethearts leading to a large family with 9 kids, 4 grandkids, and more to come. Dr. Sanford shares a reflection on George Weigel’s recent book, To Sanctify the World: A Vital Legacy of Vatican II. And the BeatiDudes celebrate the surprise announcement from Jeff and the recent news of his wife’s pregnancy with their seventh child. <h2>Resources Mentioned on the Show</h2><a href="https://udallas.edu/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The University of Dallas</a><a href="https://ignatius.com/to-sanctify-the-world-tswh/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">To Sanctify the World by George Weigel </a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spoke Street Media</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>

EP51 Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

This week on Living the Call, Deacon Charlie talks with Samantha Kelley, the Founder and President of FIERCE Athlete Inc., an organization devoted to promoting true femininity in sport. Samantha played Division 1 Soccer and is currently involved in competitive rowing.

About our drink:

Johnny Walker - High Rye

A mastery of blending to create a bold, new offering. It tempts palates with a revolutionary taste profile that can only be born from the powerful blend of key Johnnie Walker Black Label tasting notes and rye whisky flavors. Johnnie Walker High Rye Blended Scotch Whisky features a unique mash bill of 60% rye aged in American oak barrels, and includes notable single malts from distilleries such as Cardhu, an important part of the Johnnie Walker Black Label flavor. The result is a balance of sweet vanilla notes and the spiciness of rye that become revealed through subtle wisps of warm smoke.

<div></div>
<div>

There’s a common thread among thousands of formerly sinful people we now call Saints.

They had a relationship with God.

Which then inspired them to ‘set the world on fire’ as Catherine of Sienna put it.

But, more specifically, it meant they put in the time.

They sat with the Lord. Spoke with Him. Listened to Him.

Daily.

They unveiled their hearts and wounds and problems to Him.

They offered him thanks and gratitude.

They left their sufferings with Him on the altar.

They begged for His help.

My question to you: are you putting in the time?

I’m not talking about time to just talk at Him or sit in church making a mental grocery list. I’m talking about time to build a consistent, honest relationship. Time to speak, and time to listen.

Whether you want to pray a daily holy hour or hit up adoration once a week, I have a guide here from the makers of Exodus 90 specifically about praying a Holy Hour.

Inside, you’ll find a simple breakdown that shows you how to structure your time with the Lord.

Weird Catholic Questions

Many new converts often wonder if they must accept Marian apparitions or what they must believe about them. Some Protestants worry that Catholics can be worshiping Mary with all the apparitions and devotions. Fr. Pine answers the titular question and many more. 🟣 Join Us on Locals (before we get banned on YT): <a href= "https://mattfradd.locals.com/">https://mattfradd.locals.com/</a> 📖 Fr.
