Called and Gifted w/ Sherry Weddell

Lent is an invitation to encounter Jesus. In this episode, John and Victor reflect on how easy it is to approach Lent as a checklist of sacrifices instead of a path toward deeper relationship with Christ.

If your Lenten practices have ever felt mechanical or disconnected from real change, this conversation is an invitation to refocus the season where it belongs. Lent is not about what you give up. It is about who you encounter.

Lent: Encountering Jesus

Jesus gives a God’s eye view of men’s responses to His Gospel in the Parable of the Sower. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by building the Virtue of Gratitude so he can recognize and be grateful to God for His many blessings and by seeking the Gift of the Fear of the Lord from the Holy Spirit for help to meet Christ’s high expectations.

Episode 82 - Jesus gives a God’s eye view of men’s responses to His Gospel in the Parable of the Sower - Sunday July 16, 2023 - Mt 13:1-23

Stop living life on autopilot and start building the man you were created to be. At The Identity of the Catholic Man summit from Heroic Men, three powerhouse speakers are here to shatter your limits: <ul><li>Father John Riccardo drops the hammer on the lies keeping you stuck, revealing how your worth isn’t earned—it’s given. He’ll show you how to fight the devil’s games, anchor yourself in God’s love, and finally ask the question that changes everything: “Jesus, who do you say I am?”</li><li>John Edwards calls out the grind, exposing why success won’t save you and why you’re still empty. He gives you the roadmap to break free from false identities and live with purpose like never before.</li><li>Dominic de Souza brings the fire with a deep dive into true Catholic masculinity. Forget the noise—he’s all about quiet heroism, self-mastery, and relentless service. With insights from icons like Aragorn and Tony Stark, he gives you practical steps to lead, protect, and build something that matters.</li></ul>

Why the Ordinary Catholic Life Is So Beautiful (Fr. Simon Esshaki) | Ep. 572

Dave's cows got out again.The gate was shut. Just not latched. There's a difference — a difference Dave now knows in vivid detail, courtesy of the Broken Arrow Police Department and at least one very stressed heifer on the turnpike. Nobody died. The cows are back. The neighborhood is bonded. And apparently this is just a tradition they keep at Niles Ranch and Fecundity Farm.This week Adam and Dave sat down with a glass of Dancing Panda — a straight Kentucky bourbon, eight years, 100 proof, with an unexpected apple-cinnamon finish — and got into someone most Catholics have heard of but few have actually read: St. Bonaventure.Before you dive in: Adam's daughter Mary is in the hospital. Her lungs keep deflating. The situation is hour by hour. Please pray for her.St. Bonaventure is, in a word, underrated. He was the Franciscan answer to Aquinas — less systematic, more contemplative, every bit as deep. Best friends with Thomas Aquinas. Minister General of the Franciscan Order. Seraphic Doctor. Second founder of the Franciscans. The man who, when Aquinas read his contribution to the Mass reform aloud, said "That's perfect. There's no need for mine" — and meant it.The book on the table is Holiness of Life, published by Coriaceous Press. Written to a Poor Clare nun. Short — you can finish it in an afternoon. Dense — you'll carry it for a long time after.Bonaventure lays out a ladder. Self-knowledge first. Then humility. Then poverty. Then silence. Then prayer, the remembrance of Christ's passion, perfect love of God, and final perseverance. Adam and Dave cover the first four.Self-knowledge is not a journaling exercise. It's a brutal, honest accounting of where you actually are — seeing your dignity as an image of God and your misery as a sinner, both at the same time, clearly. Bonaventure names three root causes of sin: negligence, passion, and malice. He also gives you a mirror: are your interior promptings pulling toward pleasure, curiosity, or vanity? Most of us don't have to think long.Humility follows — because you can't see yourself honestly and still puff up. Bonaventure says humility is the guardian and foundation of all virtues. To excel in virtue without humility is to carry dust before the wind. If pride is the root of every sin, humility is the root of every virtue. And Adam drops the Aquinas line that's worth writing on a wall: A man is truly wealthy when he lacks nothing that he truly needs for salvation.Poverty, in Bonaventure's framing, isn't about being broke. It's about holy detachment. The unburdening of the soul so you can actually run toward Christ. We're not trying to anchor ourselves in this world. The more you sink your teeth into worldly things, the less you can sink your soul into heavenly ones.And then silence. Not just quiet in the house — interior silence. Bonaventure says poverty and silence are twins. Those appetites you feed don't just cost you. They're loud. They lie. They drown out everything you need to hear about who you actually are.Bonaventure wrote: "Silence has another advantage. It shows that man belongs to a better world. If a man lives in Germany and yet does not speak German, we naturally conclude that he is not German. So too, we rightly conclude that a man who does not give himself up to worldly conversation is not of the world, although he lives therein."That'll stay with you.Topics covered in this episode:<ul><li>Dave's cows, the Broken Arrow Police Department, and the difference between shut and latched</li><li>Who St. Bonaventure actually was — and why he's been undersold for centuries</li><li>Why Bonaventure is called the Seraphic Doctor and the second founder of the Franciscans</li><li>The four-part structure of Holiness of Life: self-knowledge, humility, poverty, silence</li><li>The three root causes of sin: negligence, passion, malice</li><li>Why holiness costs everything — and there's no negotiating a discount</li><li>Humility as the guardian and foundation of all virtue</li><li>The Aquinas line on what real wealth actually is</li><li>Poverty as holy detachment — practical application for married men with mortgages</li><li>Why poverty and silence are twins — how attachment to things creates interior noise</li><li>The German analogy for silence: belonging to a better world</li><li>Stoic meditation vs. Christian prayer — why entering into yourself is not the same thing</li><li>Self-knowledge as an ongoing relationship with our Lord, not a box to check</li><li>Fulton Sheen's Emmy speech and Mother Teresa — what God actually uses</li><li>Final perseverance — and why Adam wants it more than anything else</li></ul> Referenced in this episode:<ul><li><a href="https://corjesupress.com/products/holiness-of-life" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Holiness of Life</a><a href="https://corjesupress.com/products/holiness-of-life" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> — St. Bonaventure</a> </li><li>St. Thomas Aquinas — the Mass reform story and the quote on true wealth</li><li>St. Bernard — on humility and exact self-knowledge</li><li>St. Francis of Assisi — and why he deserves a better reputation</li><li>Fulton Sheen, Mother Teresa — as examples of God using the truly humble</li><li><a href="https://corjesupress.com/products/holiness-of-life" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cor Jesu Press</a></li></ul> Sponsor: Select International Tours — <a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selectinternationaltours.com</a> Whether you want to lead a pilgrimage or join one, Select is who you call.

St. Bonaventure, Holy Detachment & the Silence That Opens the Soul | The Catholic Man Show

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 celebrate Our Blessed Lady, Mary the Mother of God, as we hear about Our Lady’s memories of her son, Jesus, the Son of God, on that first Christmas and how the Church has venerated Mary the Mother of God over the last 2000 years. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to ask the Holy Spirit to give him the Gift of Understanding so he can more fully grasp the blessing of Mary the Mother of God. We’ll also reflect upon the need for every Catholic man to ask Our Lady to help him grow in the Virtue of Piety so he can more fully rely on her never-failing intercession.

Episode 8 - The Solemnity of Mary Mother of God - Sunday Mass Prep - January 1, 2023 - Lk 2:16-21

In Episode 3 of our Spiritual Warfare series, we stop talking theory and start talking weapons.Christ has already armed His Church. The question is whether you are using what He has given you.We break down the real arsenal of a Catholic man.The challenge is simple and direct:Are you pressing against the gates of hell… or standing idle?Your battle plan is not complicated:• Monthly Confession minimum. Aim higher if needed. • Sunday Mass without compromise. Daily if possible. • Daily Rosary. • Weekly Friday fast. • Holy water and sacramentals in your home.The victory was won at Calvary. But Christ commands you to participate in it.<h3>🔥 3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode</h3><ol><li>“A man cannot fight effectively while spiritually bleeding.”</li><li>“Passivity invites chaos. Leadership invites order.”</li><li>“The question is not whether the weapons work. The question is whether you use them.”</li></ol><h3>Key Takeaway</h3>Schedule your next Confession today. Put it on the calendar. Then begin a daily Rosary and a weekly Friday fast. Start now.<h3>Products &amp; References Mentioned</h3>• <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.mysticmonkcoffee.com/" target="_blank">Mystic Monk Coffee</a> • TAN <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://digital.tanbooks.com/?gc_id=10316277314&amp;h_ad_id=730848595836&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=10316277314&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADyykAyTnJ_8GP8xkUJ464900nGpD&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAqprNBhB6EiwAMe3yhp45do1RsFbSbf37obvKBeZ9V0wem0P5pYP0CsDS_4HJY09FFRCBqhoCUAQQAvD_BwE" target="_blank">Digital</a> • <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ewtnreligiouscatalogue.com/the-power-of-the-rosary/p/BKPRY03942?gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=21288935511&amp;gbraid=0AAAAACp7LWdRdi2ohv29VstrPOI4Yy4TM&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAqprNBhB6EiwAMe3yhrgUSr9fgu3ws3shhz5ImKlnZB6B00pF5paJFEzebAlyL4DqG2yb5hoCgPAQAvD_BwE" target="_blank">The Power of the Rosary</a> by Gabrielle Costello • <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/compendium-of-sacramentals-encyclopedia-of-the-churchs-blessings-signs-and-devotions/?srsltid=AfmBOorRfloxN0nGqnK1MwxCUAX1baR4EAHjft-Ide1TiiGHIQnPS98A" target="_blank">Compendium of Sacramentals</a> by Shaun McAfee - use code 'manlycatholic' for a discount!<ul><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://fathersofstjoseph.org/jesus-desert-fast-experience/" target="_blank">Jesus' desert fast</a> by Devin Schadt</li></ul>Thank you for your prayers and support!

Ep 192 - Weapons of a Catholic Warrior: Arm Yourself or Be Eroded

Men today are doing everything they’ve been told, working hard, providing, staying faithful, yet they still feel disconnected or confused from their wives and children. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt sit down with Adam Lane Smith to uncover why. Drawing from the science of attachment theory, Adam exposes how a man can be highly capable on the outside while remaining emotionally isolated on the inside, and how that disconnect quietly shapes every relationship he has.
 
They explore the hidden dynamics behind fading desire, emotional shutdown, and why so many men default to solving problems alone. Adam also lays out a clear framework for rebuilding connection in marriage, including the overlooked steps that either strengthen or slowly erode a wife’s trust and intimacy.

No. 1 Relationship Expert Reveals the Secret to Real Intimacy (w/ Adam Lane Smith)

Leaders are those who make a difference.  But making a difference requires having a vision.  What was the vision inside of St. Peter?  What was driving him as he led the Church?  Understanding and getting a glimpse into God’s purpose for St. Peter we can better understand the role of vision in our own lives as leaders and how we can capture it.

Four virtues play a pivotal role and accordingly are called "cardinal"; all the others are grouped around them. They are: prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. Prudence is "right reason in action," according to St. Thomas Aquinas. Deacon Harold opens this up more as well as looks as Soulful Psalm 26

Amongst all the history of great leaders inspired by faith surely St. John the Baptist is at the top of the list.  Not only was his life recorded in sacred scripture as an example to us all but his leadership provides an amazing model for all of us who seek to serve God by the power and influence He has given us.  In this first of our series treating the bold leadership of John the Baptist we look at his life and background and begin to understand the significance of his powerful preaching.

The Strangest Thing To Happen In The Exorcism Room- Father Martins Breaks down "Dynasty of Death"

Marcellino D'Ambrosio is the third D’Ambrosio to join Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein at The BeatiDudes’ tiny table. Being the fifth Marcellino in the family and his son being the sixth, this Marcellino has taken to the nickname Lino while referring to his son as Celli. This episode is jam-packed with a little bit of everything - - days of mayhem, a punk rock band, one year of seminary (aka Catholic rehab), Ave Maria University, the founding of the Catholic Creatives movement and community, marriage, the birth of a child, and additional markers along Marcellino’s fascinating journey as a front-line evangelist. Today, Marcellino is the CMO for Sherwood Fellows, an independent creative agency in Dallas, Texas, specializing in strategy, branding, and video.

From 1979 to 2005 Pope John Paul II had the custom of writing a letter to all the priests in the Catholic world on the occasion of Holy Thursday.  The letters are a treasury of wisdom and insight into leadership and all leaders of denomination or state in life can find insight here.  In this beginning of our next session on “What Can Priests Teach Us?”, we discover our own role as stewards and witnesses.

DGT Episode 351 - Steward And Witness - What Priests Can Teach Us Part 1

A husband, father, deacon, and hospice chaplain shares the night that changed everything: a workplace robbery, a gunshot to the spine, and three words that came out of his mouth before he even hit the ground &mdash; &ldquo;I forgive you.&rdquo; On Heroic Stories, Deacon Mike Bellinder reflects on Desmond Doss, faith under pressure, the fatherhood crisis, suffering, forgiveness, hospice ministry, and why so many men are starving for meaning.

Jesus didn’t rise as a spirit. He rose bodily. That changes how we understand everything… including one of the most overlooked lines in the Nicene Creed:&nbsp;“I believe in the resurrection of the body.” And if our bodies are that important to God that He will reunite them to our souls on the last day, that should change how we live right now.

Fr. John A. Perricone entered seminary in 1968 and watched from the inside as the Catholic Church underwent its most catastrophic crisis in modern history: heresy taught openly in classrooms, thousands of priests abandoning the faith, and a generation of bishops who did nothing to stop it. Today, he sees the tide turning with many returning to these previously discarded traditions of the Catholic Church.
