Jonathan Blevins | Beards & Beatitudes

Kory Koralewski didn’t grow up in the Catholic Church, but when he found it in his 20s, everything changed. It started with a simple invite—taking his future wife to Mass—and grew into something much deeper. When his marriage hit rough waters, it was Perpetual Adoration that anchored him.Kory’s not just talking about faith; he’s living it. He saw the power of community and prayer firsthand and rallied the men in his parish to commit to nightly adoration. His journey is proof that even in moments of despair, seeking God and leaning on brotherhood can turn things around.Kory’s message is clear: Don’t wait for the perfect moment to embrace your faith. Start now, and watch how God, community, and a commitment to prayer can transform your life.

How Adoration Transformed My Life: A Testimony of Hope with Kory Koralewski

Evangelization  is for All Seasons... Especially Now with Deacon Nathan Gunn

A lot has changed in the last 10 years. A lot. However, here at the Catholic Gentleman, while we have advanced to combat the ways men are being formed by the world, we have kept the goal of our mission the same. Be a Man. Be a Saint. In celebration of our 10 year anniversary, we are offering an exclusive sale and discussing the ways the world has advanced and how The Catholic Gentleman has survived and will always be there to accurately guide men to Christ and His Church. It has been 10 years, and we look forward to what God will provide in the next 10 Years!🔴 10 Year Special - Catholic Gentleman+ is Now Live - https://catholicgentlemanplus.comGet access to our membership program and receive the Catholic Gentleman Book for FREE with free shipping.

10 Years of The Catholic Gentleman

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.” 
Both apostles were known by other names. Simon was called “the Zealot.” A zealot is a person who is strongly committed to something. Deacon Harold shares more and also looks into Soulful Psalm 103:21-22

Saints Simon and Jude, Apostles

"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about"

We all have had confrontations with strangers, co-workers, and even family and friends that haven't always gone the way we would like. Oftentimes, these interactions can leave us upset and we can move quickly to anger, premature judgments, and resentment towards the other person. As Christians, we are called to be better than that. We are called to love others, to forgive, and to turn the other cheek. While these are not easy things to do in a moment of confrontation, they are the very things that allow us to live out the Gospel in our lives. We just never know the wounds and the battles people are facing at any given time. Listen in this week as John and Victor discuss ways to meet confrontation head on with the love, mercy, and forgiveness Christ commands us to. 

In this episode John and Victor discuss:

-Their personal experiences with out of the blue confrontation and what they learned from it
-That we have a choice in how we react to others
-Going to scripture to see how Jesus tells us to handle confrontation
-What to do when you are blindsided by someone

You Just Never Know

On today's Beacon of Truth, Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers is pulling from the Beacon of Truth Playlist and talking about "Open Arms" by Journey. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 39:11-14

Playist Edition: Open Arms

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor talk about how conversion is not a singular event, but a life long pursuit.

Karlo teaches us about Purgatory

Amongst the great minds of western civilization, St. Thomas Aquinas holds a very special place.  As a Catholic priest he united the depths of our faith with the real practical situations that people face every day.  He does this in an amazing way when it comes to making decisions.  And for all of us in the working world, we know how important this skill set is.  In this first of a series, I try to open the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas to help us learn an essential skill for our leadership. How to ask for advice?

Glendalough Pot Still Irish Whiskey -

There is no more Irish a whiskey than Pot Still, so we felt it was fitting to age it in Irish Oak.

We at Glendalough Distillery are proud to play our part in bringing back the use of Irish oak for whiskey cask-making.

This most quintessentially Irish style of whiskey, pot still, is first matured in ex-bourbon casks, then in Irish Oak felled in the mountains around the distillery.

While the bourbon cask softens and sweetens the whiskey, the higher levels of flavor in Irish oak complement and balance the classic pot still spices.

<h3><a href="http://exodus90.com/tcms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What’s your holy hour look like? </a></h3>
<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.

The Fifth Gospel: Part 2 with Angela Edwards

In this episode of Heroic Hotline, Sean Lynn and Father Andrew Bennett delve into the often-taboo subjects of faith and politics. They discuss the importance of Catholic engagement in political life, the differences between Canadian and American political dynamics, and the role of Catholic social teaching in guiding political action. The conversation emphasizes the need for Catholics to be proactive in their political engagement, to understand their responsibilities as citizens, and to foster community dialogue. They also explore the role of clergy and laity in political discussions and the importance of educating others about the Church's teachings and the papacy.

In his classic work<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Soul-Apostolate-Jean-Baptiste-Chautard-C-S/dp/0895550318" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a>The Soul of the Apostolate,  Dom Chautard demonstrates that the very foundation of all apostolic work must be the Interior Life.  The apostle of Christ will grow to become an instrument and true channel of God’s graces to the world only through prayer, meditation and the cultivation of the Interior Life.  When one is involved in works of spiritual or corporal charity, his work can only be truly efficacious when he anchors his Interior Life in Christ.  Without Christ, we can do nothing.

<blockquote>
<div>March 2nd is Ash Wednesday, and over a billion people will start living different in some way. Maybe giving up chocolate or alcohol, or whatever.</div>
For a lot of Catholics, Lent is a time of finding the easiest way to “give something up”. But, at the end of those 40 days, did that sacrifice really make a difference?

This year, there’s a new opportunity out there specifically for men that will actually help you grow closer to God and become a better man.

You’ve heard me talk about Exodus 90 — but let me tell you about Exodus Lent: a 40-day journey that will challenge you to dig a little deeper this year.

If your first reaction is: “I’m absolutely not taking cold showers” well you’re in luck: men who take on the Exodus Lent get to take warm showers, drink alcohol, and — when you’re with others — watch TV and sports. But don’t be fooled, this will still be a challenging 40 days of preparation for living the Christian life, for the rest of your life.

Here’s how it works:

First — Over the 40 days of Lent, men commit to daily prayer, setting aside a minimum of 20 minutes to spend with the Lord. Each day includes a scripture reading and reflection written to help men better understand, grow in, and live virtue.

Second — More than just giving up chocolate, men take up a range of disciplines and sacrifices for the season of Lent. Sweets, snacks, social media, are all gone.

Third — Men commit to a fraternity of 5-7 men. Each week, the fraternity meets to pray together, check in, hold each other accountable and encourage one another.

On Easter Sunday, you’ll walk away with a new and lasting understanding of what it means to live the full Christian life. Chocolate bunnies and all.

Suggestions for the Interior Life

&quot;Education fundamentally is not about what&#39;s true, it&#39;s not about virtue, it&#39;s not about beauty. Education is making you a good cog in the social machine.&quot; - Kyle Washut explains how modern education has shifted away from its original purpose.

In this episode of Coffee, Commerce and Catechesis, we had the privilege of speaking with Kyle Washut, President of Wyoming Catholic College, about their unique approach to Catholic higher education. Through our conversation, we explored:
- The founding vision of Wyoming Catholic College as a response to St. John Paul II&#39;s call for the New Evangelization
- How the college combines classical liberal arts with wilderness experience and Catholic spiritual formation
- The distinctive features that set Wyoming Catholic apart:
 - Students give up cell phones for four years
 - Three-week wilderness orientation for freshmen
 - Integration of horsemanship into the curriculum
 - Both Roman Catholic and Ukrainian Catholic liturgical traditions
 - Focus on primary texts rather than textbooks
 - Required Latin study for all students
 - Emphasis on public speaking and rhetoric
- The meaning of &quot;liberal arts&quot; education and its historical roots
- Why retreat into wilderness has been significant throughout Christian history
- How the college forms students through an &quot;incarnate education&quot; that engages body, mind, and soul
- Ways to experience Wyoming Catholic beyond the four-year program through COR Expeditions and summer programs

Kyle shared how Wyoming Catholic College aims to foster authentic human flourishing by creating space away from modern distractions. The college&#39;s approach challenges conventional assumptions about what students are capable of while preparing them to engage thoughtfully with the modern world.

For those interested in learning more about Wyoming Catholic College or their programs:
- Visit their website at wyomingcatholic.edu
- Look into COR Expeditions for shorter wilderness experiences
- Consider their two-week summer program for high school students
- Schedule a campus visit to experience their unique community firsthand

This conversation offers valuable insights for anyone concerned about the state of modern education and seeking alternatives that integrate faith, reason, and lived experience.

College for Cowboys and Catholics with Kyle Washut

Continuing our Talk on the importance of Celibacy, discipline and sacrifice today as well as Deacon Harold opens up Soulful Psalm 44:21-27

Celibacy Part 2

Human embryos are human beings. "Respect for the dignity of the human being excludes all experimental manipulation or exploitation of the human embryo. Deacon Harodl explains the Catholic churches views on this and looks into Soulful Psalm 115.

Stem Cells and Cloning

Some recent polling suggests that the number of those who identify with no religion has hit a ceiling, and it may even be declining. At the same time, a number of high-profile cultural influencers—even some formerly hostile to the faith—have either converted to Christianity or announced that they now identify as "cultural Christians." Moreover, religion and politics, once considered verboten to mix, now seem to find themselves deeply intertwined. How do we assess these cultural and political developments from an evangelical perspective? Is it really the case that society is becoming more receptive to Christianity? Are all these developments positive for the Church, or should we take a more cautious approach to evaluating what all this means for the future? A listener asks what he can share with non-Catholics to perhaps change their minds. 00:00 | Intro 01:32 | Bishop Barron's update on the diocesan pastoral center 02:24 | Tracing the decline of Christianity in the West 06:07 | Assessing the decline of "nones" today 09:59 | Men, women, and trends of religious disaffiliation 13:45 | Public conversions and the indispensability of Christianity in culture 18:46 | Christianity, moral principles, and the legal system 23:09 | Is there broader cultural significance for the National Eucharistic Revival? 24:26 | Hopeful signs for Christianity in conversation 27:54 | Is interest in a broad Christianity simply good? 28:59 | What we can learn from the African and Eastern Churches 30:42 | Listener question 33:00 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Pew Research Data: <a href= "https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/01/24/has-the-rise-of-religious-nones-come-to-an-end-in-the-us/"> https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/01/24/has-the-rise-of-religious-nones-come-to-an-end-in-the-us/</a></li> <li> </li> <li>Data on Women Leaving the Church: <a href= "https://www.americansurveycenter.org/newsletter/young-women-are-leaving-church-in-unprecedented-numbers/"> https://www.americansurveycenter.org/newsletter/young-women-are-leaving-church-in-unprecedented-numbers/</a></li> <li> </li> <li>Washington Examiner: "<a href= "https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/2929622/faith-and-flag-trump-allies-push-deeply-conservative-second-term/#google_vignette">Faith and flag: Trump allies push for deeply conservative second term</a>"</li> <li> </li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/">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>!

Anthony D’Ambrosio | The Pugilist at Prayer

All of us need models for leadership.  Amongst the many candidates the Virgin Mary certainly merits our special attention.  Even though she held no office, did not run a company, and did not have a rank in the military, the mother of Jesus is believed by Christians to be the Queen of Heaven and Earth.  But what makes her leadership so special?  In this twelfth of a thirteen part series on the Virgin Mary, I look at her Assumption body and soul into heaven as an indicator as to what is greatest in her leadership:  the fact that it was totally focused on love.

Genesis

Today it’s fashionable to separate the Church from society.  We claim that the legitimate separation of Church from state means that the state should proceed without any influence from the Church.  The Church, however, has a different opinion.  How are we to evaluate of the Catholic Church’s contribution to our society?  What impact can the world really expect from the Christian message?  What’s the value of the culture that we’re proposing?  All these question are central to the discussion about how Jesus raises us up to lead our culture today.

<div class="fluid-width-video-wrapper">
1858 Grave matter is specified by the Ten Commandments, corresponding to the answer of Jesus to the rich young man: “Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and your mother.” The gravity of sins is more or less great: murder is graver than theft. One must also take into account who is wronged: violence against parents is in itself graver than violence against a stranger.[1]
Rev 2:10 - Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Beware, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison so that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have affliction. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.[2]
Matt 10:33 - whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven.[3]

About the Topic:
Many times when we sin, it is because we have entertained a disorder and perceived it to be good. When we do sin many times it is hard to forget about what we have done and we can glorify the sin. "Forgiveness of sins by God is precisely the highest and the most eminent form of the purification of memory. That is because the divine forgiveness really erases and destroys the sin, so that its weight does not burden the conscience anymore."
How we can help purify the mind: 1. Confession 2. Adoration and an increase in prayer life which increases the theological virtue of hope 3 Holy thoughts and images.

Purifying your Memory

Leadership puts us in the spotlight.  Like it or not, leaders are out in front.  If we follow the ways of the world, the natural prominence of leadership can result in negative consequences like arrogance and self conceit.  It was just the opposite, however, for St. John the Baptist.  He used his prominence to promote Christ and he learned how to make himself disappear behind the glory of the one who came after him.  This is Part 4 of our series on The Bold Leadership of John the Baptist.

DGT Episode 304 - The Art Of Disappearing - The Bold Leadership Of St. John The Baptist Part 4

Throughout life we can have many "dreams." Wealth, success, and admiration are things people commonly dream and hope for, do we dream to be the best follower of Jesus Christ we can be. Do we dream to love our spouses and family the same way Christ loved us? Do you have a dream for the mission that God has intended for you?

Let’s face it, leading other people is always hard.  If we say the wrong thing in the wrong way, we can actually discourage the people we are supposed to encourage.  On the other hand if we just tell them the truth like it is, we can leave them without any motivation.  Speaking the word of truth correctly is the art and essence of good communication and leadership.  But how do we do this?  Pope St. Gregory the Great offers us some amazing insights in his book, “On The Rule of Shepherds – Book 3.”

Do you struggle to find “work/life balance”? Do you wrestle with moral issues on the job? Do you ever feel like your faith takes a backseat to your professional duties? If so, you’re not alone. Our faith cannot be siloed from our jobs and our professional responsibilities though. Our work, hobbies and education can’t be prioritized over our Christianity. If Christ came back today, would He approve of how we are choosing to spend our time? Our Christian faith is our very identity and we must m...

Deacon Harold gives useful tips on reasons why the Rosary prayer is the most powerful and how you can use it most fully. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 78:56-60

The Power of the Rosary

Welcome to the final episode of 2024! As we wrap up the year, Victor and I reflect on what it means to desire change and align those desires with God’s will. In this episode, we dive deep into the importance of not just having holy desires but taking actionable steps to fulfill them.

From personal growth goals to the incredible opportunities God gave us this year through our ministry, we discuss victories, challenges, and the practical ways we can all begin 2025 with purpose and clarity.

Let’s make this new year different—not by setting fleeting resolutions, but by recognizing the desires God places in our hearts and working intentionally to live them out. Ready to go all in with us? Let’s take that first step together.

As a devoted husband, father of nine, and President and Founder of CatholicVote, Brian Burch provides a leading voice of faith and reason for the modern world. CatholicVote is an advocacy organization that inspires lay Catholics in America to live out the truths of our faith in public life. Knowing that the current culture and politics can be daunting and frustrating, Brian lives by the mantra, “The greater the challenge, the greater the adventure.” Brian encourages all Mass-attending Catholics to focus more on getting their fellow parishioners to vote in each election than to worry about converting a longtime holdout. Brian also shares his reflections on the liberation that comes from following the guidance of nature, the Bible, and over 2,000 years of wisdom from the smartest people who came before us. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a person stuck in the decade of your choice to address the prompt, “Things Jesus never spoke about.” The TBD question for this episode is “Describe 2023 in two words. Expand on those words after your answer.” On Reverse Simpsons, Brian and the Dudes give their New Year’s resolutions for 2024.

CatholicVote Founder is Appealing to the MASSES | Brian Burch | Episode #079

Friends, why do we love being distracted from the important things of life? The great French philosopher Blaise Pascal observed, "The sole cause of man's unhappiness is that he does not know how to stay quietly in his room." On today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," Brandon Vogt and I discuss why it is so hard to be still and contemplate reality, and how we can get better at it. A listener asks, what are some things laity can do to build unity in the Church?

WOF 405: Why We Love Distractions

Today Deacon Harold talks about the rut of the Christians checkbox. How do we truthy spend time with God and how to get our of the rut we are in as well as a look at today's Psalms.

Christian Check Box

The fathers of the Second Vatican Council referred to the Eucharist as the source and summit of the Christian life, that from which authentic Christianity flows and that toward which it tends. Yet a recent Pew Forum study found that only 30% of church-going Catholics believe what the Church teaches about the Eucharist, that under the forms of bread and wine, Christ is really present in the sacrament. That alarming statistic is why Bishop Barron devoted an hour-long keynote address to the topic at the 2020 Los Angeles Religious Education Congress. Today we share the first half of his talk, which looks at the Biblical and patristic basis for the doctrine of the Real Presence, and next week we'll share the second half. Enjoy!

WOF 223: The Eucharist in the Early Church (Part 1 of 2)

Anyone who takes the time to study the life of St. Paul can’t help but admire than man’s endurance, energy, and determination in the service of Jesus Christ.  Indeed his life seems so spectacular and his exploits so amazing that many people feel they can never imitate him.  But a closer reading of his writings reveals his secret:  God’s strength was revealed in his weakness.  How did St. Paul leverage his weakness to allow Christ to reveal His strength and what does that mean for us as we try to follow Christ as leaders today.

DGT Episode 246 - Strength Made Perfect In Weakness - St. Paul The Leader Part 2

“Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; for His love endures forever.” The lesson for us is that God has ways of rewarding those who are generous with what they have received from Him.  We come together this morning in the ultimate act of thanksgiving, the Holy Eucharist, which literally means “thanksgiving.”  Deacon Harold talks about this and also looking into Soulful Psalm 145:1-9.

What Are You Thankful For?

"Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me" is the simplest form of the Jesus Prayer. Bishop Robert Barron has professed the spiritual power of this short prayer for decades and was recently reintroduced to The Way of a Pilgrim, a short book, which narrates one man's quest to "pray without ceasing" by way of the Jesus Prayer. This episode serves as an encouragement for all Christians to adopt this prayer, which has long been a revered tradition in the Eastern Orthodox Church.

As we continue our Jesus & the 12 series, Jesus on tour to spots we see His works unfold and today Deacon Harold shares what Jesus did in Nain. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 69:36-37

Jesus & the Twelve on Tour: Nain

Most in contemporary secular culture have probably never heard of the name "Thomas Aquinas." However, his thought remains more pertinent than ever—not only to theology and philosophy but also to current conversations on how to build a more stable, just, and prosperous political order. Today, we discuss the evergreen genius of St. Thomas Aquinas and how his legacy continues in the life and work of the contemporary Dominican theologian, Fr. Paul Murray. A listener asks, does the devil know that his rebellion is ultimately futile? 00:00 | Intro 01:12 | Bishop Barron in Rome 02:01 | Aquinas' impact on Bishop Barron's formation 03:56 | Why medieval thinkers like Aquinas still matter 06:18 | The relationship between metaphysics and ethics 07:29 | God as Being itself rather than as the greatest of beings 12:43 | How God can be both transcendent and immanent 15:58 | God's non-competitive relationship with Creation 21:29 | Defining true human and social goods 23:00 | Does metaphysical speculation have a role in politics? 25:45 | Fr.

WOF 435: The Enduring Relevance of St. Thomas Aquinas

What happens when you say yes to God&hellip; even when it means giving up your own dreams? In this powerful episode of Heroic Stories, Gil Alderete opens up about his unexpected journey from UPS driver to president of Catholic Men's Fellowship of California. Gil shares how God redirected his life, pulling him away from his plans to become a deacon and into building ministry for men across California, Nevada, Hawaii, and beyond.
But Gil&rsquo;s story isn&rsquo;t just about leadership&mdash;it&rsquo;s about healing old wounds, breaking generational cycles, and discovering what real masculinity and faith look like when you surrender. You&rsquo;ll hear how heroic mentors, humble beginnings, and even deep struggles with identity shaped him into the man God called him to be.
If you&rsquo;ve ever felt lost, doubted your calling, or wondered how to find your purpose, Gil&rsquo;s raw, honest journey will remind you: heroism isn&rsquo;t born, it&rsquo;s made.

What Happens When You Say Yes to God | Gil Alderete | Ep 19

Regardless of what we have to say, our ability to say it is equally important.  If we cannot express what we have inside no one will listen to us anyway.  This is the great intuition of Saul Alinsky in “Rules For Radicals” where he outlines the words used by organizers, the education necessary for an organizer, and highlights the importance of their ability to communicate.  How does this relate to the Gospel?

Dr. Scott Hahn - Ignatius Catholic

The Second Vatican Council teaches that "the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time, it is the font from which all her power flows." The Eucharist and the celebration of the sacrifice of the Mass is at the very heart and center of the Christian life. It stands as the pinnacle of the New Covenant established by Christ, and the Eucharist is the source of the unity of the Church.

He drifted from the Church in high school, trapped in the cycle of sin and shame. For years, confession felt empty—until one powerful moment changed everything.This is the story of how a Protestant girlfriend’s love of Scripture led him back to the beauty of the Eucharist, the freedom of honest confession, and the truth of John 6: “My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.”With echoes of Thomas Rhett’s “Death Row,” this testimony is a raw reminder that God meets us even in our lowest places—and freedom begins when we finally tell the truth.▶Sean's YT viral video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxywfVSlq2Y🙏 “Repent and believe in the Gospel.”🕊️ “Jesus gave us the Church.”▶️ Watch this powerful journey from sin to grace—where love, Scripture, and the Eucharist collide.#CatholicConversion #John6 #Testimony #Revert #FreedomInChrist #Confession #Catholic #Protestant #Truth▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

Father's Day Roundtable

Raised in a strict King James-only, Independent Fundamental Baptist household and trained in Christian apologetics, this Southern Baptist pastor was taught that Catholicism was not just wrong—it was dangerous. But everything began to shift when he took his own advice: go to the source.What started as an effort to refute Catholic doctrine turned into a life-changing encounter with the truth of the Eucharist, the Sacraments, the early Church, and the beauty of the Mass.“I didn’t like it. I didn’t want it to be true. But I couldn’t deny it anymore.”From “Baptism now saves you” to the testimony of the Saints, this is the gripping story of a man who lost everything—his ministry, his comfort zone, his certainty—and found the fullness of truth.🙏 Watch as he shares how Scripture, study, and the surprising power of the Mass changed his life forever.#Catholic #Protestant #testimony #CatholicConvert #FormerBaptistPastor #WhyImCatholic #ChristianApologetics #BaptismRegenerates #KJVOnly #FromFundamentalistToCatholic #TheMassChangedMe #CatholicTruth ▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

Courage & Christmas

<h1>In this episode, we sit down with speakers Ennie Hickman and Paul George to unpack the themes of risk, faith, and mentorship.</h1>From Ennie’s grand-slam opening talk to Paul’s reflections on mentorship, this discussion dives deep into what it means to live a risky, faith-filled life as a man today.<h2>Highlights:</h2><ul><li>Ennie’s Home Run Start (00:11): Ennie Hickman kicks off the conference with a powerful talk that surprises everyone—described as a “grand slam” after setting expectations low with a “bunt.” We explore his rhetorical flair and the humor that had the crowd laughing, even if it took a moment to sink in.</li><li>The Abraham Joke (01:25): Ennie breaks down his viral moment—a hilarious yet profound take on Abraham’s obedience to God, from circumcision to the sacrifice of Isaac. It’s a wild reminder of the risks faith demands.</li><li>Risky Faith (02:22): Paul George and Ennie reflect on the moments in life where God calls us to step out—like marriage, trusting God’s plan, or simply saying “yes” when it feels insane. Living faith, they argue, should always involve risk.</li><li>Mentorship Matters (04:10): The conversation turns to the crisis of young men unwilling to take risks. Paul shares how mentors—like he was for Ennie—pushed him to grow, even calling him out on a landline in college about smoking weed. The group debates: Are young men missing mentors, or are they missing the willingness to listen?</li><li>Dopamine vs. Pursuit (06:54): Ennie and Paul discuss how modern distractions—gaming, phones, instant gratification—are keeping young men from chasing real goods, like relationships or purpose.</li><li>Trust and Friendship (07:54): The key to mentorship? Trust. Ennie recalls how Paul’s persistent friendship gave him the courage to make hard choices, proving love and accountability go hand in hand.</li><li>Raising Sons with Community (08:33): The group explores the power of men modeling faith and camaraderie for the next generation. From organizations like Fraternus to everyday “Uncle David” moments, it’s about inviting sons into the good life alongside trusted men.</li></ul> <h2>Key Takeaway:</h2>Faith isn’t safe—it’s risky. Whether it’s Abraham chopping off a bit of himself or a mentor calling you out on a landline, the path to manhood demands courage, trust, and a willingness to swing for the fences.<h2>Guests:</h2><ul><li><a href="https://www.enniehickman.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ennie Hickman</a>: Conference speaker and master of the well-timed Abraham joke.</li><li><a href="https://www.paulgeorge.la/about" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Paul George</a>: Mentor, speaker, and the guy who won’t stop calling until you step up.</li></ul>

Joe Rogan, host of the one of the world's most popular podcasts, <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bN4spt3744">recently interviewed Richard Dawkins</a> about Dawkins' new book, <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Outgrowing-God-Beginners-Richard-Dawkins/dp/1984853910">Outgrowing God: A Beginner's Guide</a>.

WOF 203: Joe Rogan, Richard Dawkins, and God (Part 1 of 2)

From Martin Luther King Jr: “You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be. And one day, some great opportunity stands before you and calls you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause. And you refuse to do it because you are afraid…. You refuse to do it because you want to live longer…. You’re afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you’re afraid that somebody will stab you, or shoot at you or bomb your house; so you refuse to take the stand.

Well, you may go on and live until you are 90, but you’re just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90. And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit.
Martin Luther King Jr.

The BeatiDudes - Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein - enter sacred territory with Fr. John Paul Kern, a Dominican Friar from New York City. Broadcasting once again from Catholics at the Shore, we dig deep into the heart of identity, the trials of discernment, and the peace that comes only from total surrender to God.Fr. John Paul shares his vocation story, his thoughts on monastic community, and the real cost of saying “yes” to God. It’s a conversation that swings from Notre Dame dorm-room conversions to monastery silence, from struggles with pride to joyful humility. Oh, and Jeff totally forgets what question he was asking (again).Highlights:• “A priest’s job is to get out of the way so the faithful can encounter Christ.”• The danger of identity confusion in today’s world - and how the monastery offers clarity.• Father’s advice for men discerning: “Listen, then move. Stop chasing certainty.”Fr. John Paul’s Wisdom Drop:“The more we receive who we are from God, the less we feel the need to define it for ourselves.”<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://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> <a href="https://www.davemooremusic.com/">Dave Moore Music</a>

Ever Ancient, Ever New | Fr. John Paul Kern, O.P. | Episode #234

Friends, many people in the Church, including the Holy Father, have been talking about "synodality." But what is it? What does it mean? How can it help the Church, and what are possible dangers? That's what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show." A listener asks, what is appropriate to bring with you into Eucharistic Adoration? Links <ul> <li><a href="https://goodnewsconference.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Good News Conference</a></li> </ul>

WOF 365: What is Synodality?

"There are about 2.4 billion Christians in the world, but maybe a fraction of those people acknowledge or realize what it really means to be a Christian."
 
In this episode, we dive into an eye-opening discussion about what modern Christians actually believe, drawing from a 2024 Cardus/Angus Reid Institute study of Canadian Christians. Some key highlights from their conversation include:
 
<ul>
 <li>Surprising statistics showing only 48% of Catholics and 55% of mainline Protestants believe in the resurrection as a historical event</li>
 <li>The disconnect between what many Christians personally believe versus what their churches teach</li>
 <li>How younger Christians appear to be more committed to traditional faith practices than older generations</li>
 <li>The challenges of maintaining and explaining religious convictions in an increasingly secular culture</li>
 <li>Discussion of fundamental Catholic beliefs like transubstantiation and why they can be difficult to understand yet remain essential</li>
 <li>The importance of seeking truth and deeper understanding of one's faith through study and prayer</li>
 <li>Why it's critical for Christians to know and understand the teachings of their church if they take their faith seriously</li>
</ul>
 
We explore these findings through both personal experience and theological analysis, examining what it truly means to be a Christian in the modern world. They also discuss recommended resources like C.S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity" for those wanting to better understand Christian faith.
 
This thought-provoking episode challenges listeners to examine their own beliefs while providing insights into the current state of Christianity in Canada and beyond.

Allow St. Joseph to build a manger in your heart today. Prepare room for the King of Kings and rest with him.
Ancient Prayer to St. Joseph (recited at the end; <a href="http://mlor.com/">click here for the source, The Pieta Prayer Book</a>):
"O St. Joseph, who protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires.
O St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.
O St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you with Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press him in my name, kiss his fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath.
St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for me. Amen."
