What if the biggest thing holding men back... was the pain they never talk about?
In this raw and revealing episode, Catholic men&rsquo;s coach Kenneth Harouff joins Sean to unpack the hidden struggles men carry&mdash;addiction, isolation, spiritual burnout, emotional wounds&mdash;and why just &ldquo;being more spiritual&rdquo; isn&rsquo;t enough. With honesty and deep compassion, Kenneth shares how real healing begins when men stop hiding, start reaching out, and surround themselves with wise, courageous brothers.
You&rsquo;ll learn how spiritual bypass keeps men stuck, why vulnerability is the key to transformation, and what practical steps any man can take right now to begin healing. From confronting past trauma to building authentic brotherhood, this episode gives you a new lens for understanding what real strength looks like.
Whether you&rsquo;re battling burnout or just sensing something&rsquo;s off, this is a call to stop going it alone&mdash;and start becoming the man God created you to be.

With a little time in the glass sitting idle (just a few minutes) the bouquet really opens up to it's full potential<h2>The Name</h2>Where did “Yippee Ki-Yay” come from? Is it a real expression of joy popular with cowboys in the 19th century Western United States? Is it part of the greatest one liner in movie history? Was it influenced by the phrase ‘Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay’ from the 1936 hit song “I’m an Old Cow Hand from the Rio Grande” about a 20th-century cowboy who has little in common with cowpunchers of old and sung by Bing Crosby in the film “Rhythm on the Range” (also sung later by Roy Rogers and Frank Sinatra) and considered one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time? We’re not sure. But we are sure we like how we feel when we say it... and recommend you use it every chance you get.<h2>Back Label Story</h2>We confess...we didn’t coin the term “Yippee Ki-Yay”. Moreover, we didn’t paint the picture on the front label. It’s an historic poster (Gift of The Coe Foundation and Henry B. Balink) now at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming (centerofthewest.org, you really ought to visit). Furthermore, we didn’t distill the whiskeys in this bottle - it’s our Double Rye! However, we did come up with a combination that we think will make you say...Yippee Ki-Yay drinkers of horrible tasting cheap flavored uisge beatha! One day, just for fun, we put Double Rye! into oak barrels that had originally been used to age two different types of wine and discovered an all-natural, not disgustingly-sweet sipper for the rest of us.<h2>About the gear: N/A</h2><h2>About our topic: Being a Catholic Man</h2>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIvpYzboddY&amp;w=560&amp;h=315]If this is your first time listening to The Catholic Man Show, we do 3 things almost every episode:TIME CODES:1.)

What if your biggest spiritual problem isn&rsquo;t sin&mdash;but pride? In &ldquo;Repentance,&rdquo; Chapter Three of the series, we&rsquo;re confronted with the brutal truth: men love to be in control, and sin is just doing it our way instead of God&rsquo;s. But this chapter is more than just a guilt trip. It&rsquo;s a roadmap for spiritual victory. We don&rsquo;t repent to earn God&rsquo;s love&mdash;we repent because we&rsquo;re already loved, and we&rsquo;re finally ready to trust Him. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Hello and welcome to the EveryCatholicMan.com Bible Study Podcast!This is a special announcement about the 2025 11-Part EveryCatholicMan.com Series on the Passion of the Christ.Lent—meaning “long days”—is an ancient 40-day liturgical pilgrimage that begins on Ash Wednesday when ashes remind us of our unavoidable death. It prepares us for Easter and eternal life in Christ. During Lent, we recall Jesus’ 40 days of fasting and prayer in the desert before His public ministry.

God is in the Present Moment | Fr. John Bayer, O.Cist. | Episode #186

What if the end of your life was today&mdash;would it matter how you lived? In this gripping and raw reflection, &ldquo;Final Goal&rdquo; confronts the ultimate truth: you are going to die. And that&rsquo;s not a threat&mdash;it&rsquo;s a wake-up call. From a spit-take over a shocking book line to the death of a teenage hockey player, every story in this chapter is a reminder that life is short, fragile, and urgent. But more than fear, it offers purpose. The real question isn&rsquo;t just when you&rsquo;ll die&mdash;but who you&rsquo;re living for. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

E2 | The Heart of Evangelization

Episode Overview:In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles dive into a lighthearted yet profound discussion about the phrase "killing two birds with one stone," the joys and challenges of high school reunions, and a deep exploration of friendship—both human and divine. The episode centers on John 15:14-15, where Jesus calls His disciples friends, not servants, offering a transformative perspective on what it means to live in communion with Christ. A powerful confession experience ties the conversation together, emphasizing the shift from doing things for God to doing them with Him.Key Discussion Points:<ul><li>Opening Banter (00:00:16 - 00:04:55): Adam and David humorously debate the origins and modern misuse of the phrase "killing two birds with one stone," referencing historical and biblical imagery like David and Goliath, and even a viral video of Nolan Ryan hitting a bird with a baseball.</li><li>Life Updates (00:05:00 - 00:11:39): David shares his excitement for an upcoming family reunion in Wyoming, while Adam talks about his son Leo’s second-place finish in mutton busting at a local rodeo and his anticipation for a 20-year high school reunion, sparking a funny reflection on aging and pride.</li><li>Sponsorship Spotlight (00:12:00 - 00:13:15): The hosts highlight their long-time sponsor, Select International Tours, encouraging listeners to explore pilgrimage opportunities at <a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selectinternationaltours.com</a> and join their upcoming trip to Italy in October.</li><li>What We’re Drinking (00:13:29 - 00:15:47): Adam and David enjoy The Sassenach, a blended Scotch whiskey with a Gaelic name meaning "outsider" or "stranger." They praise its Highland-like flavor and art deco bottle, likening it to a Mad Men-style decanter.</li><li>Literature and Reading (00:16:46 - 00:20:43): David discusses reading G.K. Chesterton’s Man Alive, recommended by Monsignor Gallus, a Chesterton scholar, and touches on Plato’s The Republic. The hosts reflect on Chesterton’s whimsical style and the influence of classical works on Christian thought.</li><li>Main Topic: Friendship with Christ (00:22:08 - 00:58:51):</li><li>Biblical Foundation: Adam introduces John 15:14-15, where Jesus says, “You are my friends if you keep what I command you. No longer do I call you servants… but I have called you friends.” This passage sets the stage for a discussion on authentic friendship.</li><li>Philosophical Insights: Drawing from Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics (Books 8-10), the hosts explore his three types of friendship—pleasure, utility, and authentic (virtuous) friendship. Aristotle views authentic friendship as the highest moral achievement, impossible without virtue, as vice renders true friendship unattainable.</li><li>Christian Perspective: The discussion connects Aristotle’s ideas to Christian theology, with references to Augustine, Aquinas, and Cicero. Aquinas describes charity as the highest form of friendship, requiring mutual love, willing the good of the other, and a shared life—mirrored in Christ’s relationship with His disciples.</li><li>Old vs. New Covenant: The hosts contrast the Old Covenant’s servanthood (e.g., Abraham obeying without full understanding) with the New Covenant’s friendship, where Christ shares divine knowledge, inviting us into intimacy and communion.</li><li>Confession Insight: Adam shares a transformative moment from confession, where a priest challenged his mentality of doing things for God, urging him to focus on doing things with God. This shift reframes Christian life as a relationship of friendship, not obligation, aligning with John 15’s message.</li><li>Communion of Saints: The episode explores how the communion of saints reflects perfect friendship, unhindered by human vice, and how Christ’s infinite love desires this communion with us.</li><li>Practical Takeaway: The hosts encourage listeners to reflect on John 15:9-17 in adoration, emphasizing that God doesn’t need our works but desires our companionship. This perspective relieves the pressure of performance and combats pride, fostering a deeper relationship with Christ.</li></ul> Events and Announcements:<ul><li>Catholic Man Show Campout: Scheduled for the last Saturday in September at Clear Creek Abbey. Sign-ups open in August, with new activities planned for this milestone event (approximately the 10th annual campout).</li><li>Pilgrimage Opportunity: Join Adam and David in Italy this October with Father Stuart Kravcor. Visit <a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selectinternationaltours.com</a> for details.</li></ul> Resources Mentioned:<ul><li>Scripture: John 15:9-17, particularly verses 14-15.</li><li>Books: </li><li>G.K. Chesterton’s Man Alive</li><li>Plato’s The Republic</li><li>Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics (Books 8-10)</li><li>Ignatius Study Bible</li><li>Sponsorship: Select International Tours (<a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selectinternationaltours.com</a>)</li><li>Social Media: Check Adam’s Facebook for a video of his son Leo’s mutton busting performance.</li></ul> Quotes to Ponder:<ul><li>“You are my friends if you keep what I command you. No longer do I call you servants… but I have called you friends.” – John 15:14-15</li><li>“The Lord doesn’t need anything from you… You have to start thinking about doing things with the Lord.” – Priest in confession</li><li>“Friendship is the point of the Christian life.” – David Niles</li><li>“Charity is the highest form of friendship.” – St. Thomas Aquinas</li></ul> Call to Action:<ul><li>Reflect on John 15:9-17 in prayer or adoration to deepen your understanding of friendship with Christ.</li><li>Sign up for the Catholic Man Show Campout at Clear Creek Abbey in September.</li><li>Explore pilgrimage opportunities with Select International Tours.</li></ul> Share this episode with friends to spark conversations about authentic friendship and faith.

To Love Fasting - A Talk by a Benedictine Monk

Alessandro DiSanto never expected that he and his childhood friends would come together early in their careers to launch a prayer app. Fast-forward to the present - - Hallow is the world's most successful Christian prayer app. Hallow stats (aka vanity stats)•	20 million downloads•	600million prayers, prayed in over 150 countries•	Available in 8 languages•	More than 170 employees Alessandro grew up in a big Italian family in Chicago, enjoying family dinners with grandparents who never learned English. As a teenager, Alessandro gravitated towards the intellectual side of the Catholic faith and found his way to Notre Dame for college. After college, Alessandro started a job in big finance at Goldman Sachs in New York, where he was reprimanded for displaying a picture of Our Lady on the Notre Dame campus. During a Sunday night dinner with friends in 2018, Hallow co-founder and childhood friend Alex Jones brought a series of questions and reflections to the group that launched an ongoing conversation about building something to reinforce each of their own prayer lives. Within months, three friends quit their jobs to build Hallow and had the app posted to the app store by the end of the year. The Hallow team knew they were on to something important early on when they heard countless stories of the app's impacts on people in need, including lifesaving and life-altering moments of prayer. Alessandro shares an insider look at Hallow, highlighting the app's most common uses and other lesser-known aspects. In 2024, Hallow released an ad during the Super Bowl featuring Mark Wahlberg and Jonathan Roumie, encouraging the audience to stay prayed up. The timing was perfect, as Super Bowl Sunday was just days before Ash Wednesday this year. The Hallow app helps users find God’s peace, transform their prayer life, and build daily habits that draw them closer to Him.

A celebration of faith and music: The Litany of St. Joseph in Song
On a remarkable evening in Calgary, the Catholic community gathered for a joyous and family-friendly musical event, one that resonated with men, women, and children alike. This spiritually uplifting concert was a tribute to the power of faith expressed through music, offering a rich blend of tradition, talent, and devotion.
Held in honor of St. Joseph&mdash;the Patron Saint of Canada&mdash;the event brought together voices from across the Diocese of Calgary. Selected choirs from various parishes performed sacred music that echoed the dignity and strength of this holy figure. These harmonious offerings set the tone for an unforgettable evening of reverence and unity.
At the heart of the evening was the world premiere of an original musical setting of the Litany of St. Joseph. Composed and conducted by Alberta&rsquo;s own Carlos Foggin&mdash;an award-winning maestro known for his dynamic leadership&mdash;this debut was the crescendo of the night. It marked not just a musical milestone but a spiritual one, inviting all in attendance into a deeper reflection on the virtues of St. Joseph.
The concert was more than a performance; it was a prayer in song, a communal act of praise during the 2025 Jubilee Year Celebrations. As part of the global theme Pilgrims of Hope, the evening offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness history through harmony and faith.
This recording captures the spirit of the event&mdash;its reverence, its joy, and its call to unity through music. We invite you to experience this sacred celebration and to stay connected for more spiritual opportunities in the days ahead.

Advent Spirituality, Part Two

In a recent talk given to the Knights of Malta, Bishop Barron addressed this convulsive time in our national history, demonstrated by the global pandemic, unstable politics, and outbursts of violence. What he shows is that behind much of the rioting and deep unrest stand ideas stemming from four influential thinkers: Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault. Once we understand some of their most basic ideas, we will recognize their influence everywhere today. In today's episode, we share the first half of the talk (the second half will be coming soon).

Ep 78 - Father's Day Special: Honoring the Pillars of Love and Strength of the Family

"The first feature film ever on the story of St. Joseph, who was a carpenter, the husband of Mary, and the foster father of Jesus Christ. Scripture tells us that St. Joseph was a ""just man"" and that God gave him the most daunting task ever asked of a man–to be the husband of the woman who would give birth to the Messiah and the father and protector of this Holy Family. He would be the man closest to Christ.

Starring Tobias Moretti in a manly, appealing performance, we are shown the human, noble, and deeply spiritual aspects of Joseph the carpenter, son of David, servant of God, and loving husband of Mary. He is presented as a man of faith who must grapple greatly with the profound mysteries of the miraculous conception, the Virgin Birth, the Incarnation of the Son of God, and the incredible challenges of protecting and raising Jesus amidst the threats on his life from the moment of his birth and beyond.

As Joseph is informed by God's messengers about trusting and following his plan for Christ, the dangerous flight into Egypt to save his child, and finally returning to Nazareth to raise Jesus, this lovely film presents beautiful vignettes of these and other powerful scenes in the life of the young Christ and the Holy Family that are authentic and inspiring. Also stars Stefania Rivi, Franco Interlenghi, and Andrea Prodan."

Joseph of Nazareth: The Story of the Man Closest to Christ

Recently, The New York Times featured <a href= "https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/25/opinion/-philosophy-god-omniscience.html"> an op-ed by philosophy professor Peter Atteton</a>, who tried to show that the idea of God is incoherent. Bishop Barron responds to Atteton's points and shows how there are no logical problems with believing in God. A listener asks whether Catholic universities should begin offering an evangelization major or concentration.

About the Topic:
“And when you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure  their faces that their fasting may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father whose in secret will reward you.” Matthew 6:16-18
Jesus says “when you fast” not “if you fast”. He expected us to fast. But we should not fast out of dieting or pride, but out of love of God. 
Fasting improves us spiritually in several ways (from <a href="https://jimmyakin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jimmy Akin</a>):

<ol class="ol1">
 	<li class="li1">We express our recognition that spiritual things are more important than physical things.</li>
 	<li class="li1">We learn to deny ourselves pleasures, even in spite of pain. (Increase in fortitude)</li>
 	<li class="li1">We declare that we recognize the need to reform and to get closer to God.</li>
 	<li class="li1">We willingly embrace the hunger fasting produces as a sign of being willing to shoulder the burdens of others (Col. 1:24 - “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is Lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the Church…”). What is lacking: Christ’s sufferings were, of course, sufficient for our redemption, but all of us may add ours to his, in order that the fruits of his redemption be applied to the souls of men. </li>
 	<li class="li1">We express humility before God by adopting a humble posture, recognizing our dependence on him and affirming our submissiveness to his will.</li>
</ol> 
4 classes of penitents who committed major sins (idolatry, murder, abortion, adultery) in the ancient formal penitential discipline:

<ol class="ol1">
 	<li class="li1">Weepers - Not allowed in the church but stayed outside and asked those going in to pray for them.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Hearers - Stood inside the church doors and heard the liturgy of the word but were dismissed before the liturgy of the Eucharist.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Kneelers - knelt or lay down in church and participated with the Church in specific prayers for them before being blessed by the bishop and dismissed prior to the Eucharist. </li>
 	<li class="li1">Standers - sat in the congregation and stayed for the liturgy of the Eucharist but did not receive Communion.</li>
</ol> 
5 Tips when Fasting:

<ol class="ol1">
 	<li class="li1">Have a specific intention for your suffering. Visualize the person you are praying for or the grace you are asking God to give you.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Set a schedule. Scheduling how your day will look helps avoid moments of inactivity. Helps to go to sleep on time and get up early.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Increase the amount of water you drink per day.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Take multi-vitamins. When you fast you will become deficient in some vitamins your body is used to having.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Don’t complain. No one should know you are fasting.</li>
</ol> 
Canon Law on Feast Days: 
Can. 1246 §1. Sunday, on which by apostolic tradition the paschal mystery is celebrated, must be observed in the universal Church as the primordial holy day of obligation. The following days must also be observed: the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Epiphany, the Ascension, the Body and Blood of Christ, Holy Mary the Mother of God, her Immaculate Conception, her Assumption, Saint Joseph, Saint Peter and Saint Paul the Apostles, and All Saints.
Canon Law on Days of Penance: 
Can. 1251 Abstinence from meat, or from some other food as determined by the Episcopal Conference, is to be observed on all Fridays, unless a solemnity should fall on a Friday. Abstinence and fasting are to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
Can. 1252 The law of abstinence binds those who have completed their fourteenth year. The law of fasting binds those who have attained their majority, until the beginning of their sixtieth year. Pastors of souls and parents are to ensure that even those who by reason of their age are not bound by the law of fasting and abstinence, are taught the true meaning of penance.
Can. 1253 The conference of bishops can determine more precisely the observance of fast and abstinence as well as substitute other forms of penance, especially works of charity and exercises of piety, in whole or in part, for abstinence and fast.

<blockquote>Hey men,

Let me ask you: in the past 90 days, how often did you eat a little too much, drink a little too much, or spend too much time in the office?

How many times did you ignore your wife, children, or friends just to thumb through social media, watch Netflix, YouTube, or a game?

So many men today are distracted. They’re dependent on the comforts of this world, making them incapable of even knowing they aren’t free to say no to those things. Guys, we were made for more than this.

If you desire freedom from those attachments — Freedom to be a better husband, a better father, and a better man for others — I invite you to check out <a href="http://exodus90.com/?utm_source=catholicmanshow&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=exodus90-2022&amp;utm_content=catholicmanshow-email-1">Exodus 90</a></blockquote>
</div>

Exodus 90 is a ninety-day program that gets us back to the fundamentals of the faith: prayer, self-denial, and fraternity. It starts on January 17th and ends on Easter Sunday.More than 50,000 men from around the world — Catholics, Christians, even folks that don’t align with any Christian faith —  have done this. Of these men, 99% report experiencing greater freedom.

5 Tips to Fasting

Sup! Today we chat with Aquinas about the 3 reasons we should fast. If you'd like to support me and get a bunch of FREE stuff in return, go <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">here</a>. When you give me $10 or more a month you'll get access to Aquinas' meditations for Lent! Thanks for your support, y'all. Here's what Aquinas had to say on the matter: I answer that, An act is virtuous through being directed by reason to some virtuous [honestum] [Cf. II-II:145:1] good. Now this is consistent with fasting, because fasting is practiced for a threefold purpose. First, in order to bridle the lusts of the flesh, wherefore the Apostle says (2 Corinthians 6:5-6): "In fasting, in chastity," since fasting is the guardian of chastity. For, according to Jerome [Contra Jov. ii.] "Venus is cold when Ceres and Bacchus are not there," that is to say, lust is cooled by abstinence in meat and drink. Secondly, we have recourse to fasting in order that the mind may arise more freely to the contemplation of heavenly things: hence it is related (Daniel 10) of Daniel that he received a revelation from God after fasting for three weeks. Thirdly, in order to satisfy for sins: wherefore it is written (Joel 2:12): "Be converted to Me with all your heart, in fasting and in weeping and in mourning." The same is declared by Augustine in a sermon (De orat. et Jejun. [Serm. lxxii (ccxxx, de Tempore)]): "Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one's flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, kindles the true light of chastity."

Necessary Sacrifices – The Death of Certain Goods

WOF 208: The Queen of the Sciences

While the Gospel has not preserved any of his words, his actions have resounded through the ages. Joseph of Nazareth stands out as the model par excellence of Christian virtue, a brilliant example of obedience to God and trust in Divine Providence. His role as protector of families in the difficulties of life and Patron of the universal Church has never been more clearly needed. Now, the Church is seeking to deepen its understanding of the Guardian of Jesus and of the Holy Family. Featuring interviews with leading experts and theologians, in addition to powerful first-hand testimonials — St. Joseph: Our Spiritual Father provides viewers with a glimpse into one of the most incredible lives in all of human history — a figure whose spiritual fatherhood remains open to all of us.For more resources about St. Joseph, visit the Knights of Columbus <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.kofc.org/en/news-room/st-joseph/index.html">website</a>.

St. Joseph: Our Spiritual Father

Today Deacon is on the road bringing us his challenge of becoming a Catholic Man from his Live event at the North Texas Catholic Men's Conference.

Being a Catholic Man

Jason Shanks doesn&rsquo;t just talk about transformation&mdash;he lived it. After a near-death experience with COVID-19, Shanks discovered the absolute necessity of divine intimacy with God. As a convert to Catholicism, he learned firsthand how the Holy Spirit pulls people into faith, showing that real connection with God is about relationship, not just ritual.
His battle with COVID-19 wasn&rsquo;t just physical; it was spiritual warfare. Prayer and the intercession of his community were game-changers in his recovery. Shanks dives deep into what intimacy with God really means, comparing it to the covenant of marriage and the Eucharist.&nbsp;
He challenges men to strip away the distractions of the world, embrace vulnerability, and fight for their spiritual lives. This is about building authentic relationships with God and each other&mdash;no shortcuts, no compromises.
About the 2024 Summit: The Heroic Leadership Summit is the annual, no-nonsense, cutting-edge event for Catholic men hungry for serious growth in their faith journey. Brought to you by the Catholic Men&rsquo;s Leadership Alliance, join the best of the best in leadership and training together, one all-star weekend geared to ignite, equip, and grow ministry to men.&nbsp;

Tammy Comer on Deliverance, Breaking A Generational Curse and Healing

Reflection: As a carpenter, Joseph provided for the Holy Family through honest labor. Justice in heroic virtue means fair dealings and generosity, imitating God's eternal law. Pope Pius XII entrusted youth to Joseph for such steadfast care. Daily Challenge: Perform an act of generous giving, like tithing extra or helping a neighbor in need. Prayer: St. Joseph, provider of Nazareth, inspire my work to honor God and support others.(Make a challenge to another man to join you.)

Day 3 Practicing Just Provision | Kevin O'Brien

Let’s be real: a lot of guys hear the word disciple and think, “Whoa, I just wanted to flip burgers at the church event, not become a disciple.” But here’s the truth: being a Catholic man today means stepping up, not just sitting on the sidelines. Sean Lynn has been on this journey for 30 years. He was a police officer, seeing firsthand what happens when dads aren’t there—broken families, young people lost, crime. "We need Catholic men who are unafraid to lead, unafraid to live their faith boldly. And yeah, I get it—fear is real. We’ll talk politics, sports, anything but Jesus. But Scripture says it 140 times: Be not afraid." God is calling each of us by name. Right now. Will you answer?

Viva Cristo Rey!
More than a rallying cry, it echoes through history as the final words of a martyr, a witness of faith, and the heartbeat of this week’s episode. 
Father Dave returns from a pilgrimage to Mexico, where he visited the tomb of Blessed Miguel Pro and stood in the very place where the young priest was executed for celebrating Mass in secret. With deep reverence, he shares the powerful story of Miguel’s final words, “Viva Cristo Rey”, and invites listeners to consider the courage of living and dying for Christ. Meanwhile, Deacon Bob celebrates a different kind of sacramental moment: the baptism of his grandson, a joyful reminder that every life in Christ begins with water and grace. 
Of course, there’s plenty of humor, sports updates, and spiritual tangents along the way; from NFL heartbreaks to papal baptisms in the Sistine Chapel, from dry-fit habits to the not-so-ordinary season of Ordinary Time. 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) NFL Disappointments and Grandson Joy  
The episode opens with mixed emotions: Deacon Bob’s <a href='https://www.buccaneers.com/'>Tampa Bay Bucs</a> and Father Dave’s <a href='https://www.denverbroncos.com/'>Denver Broncos</a> are out of the playoffs, but there’s great joy as Deacon Bob baptizes his grandson, Oliver Augustine. It’s a beautiful blend of sorrow and celebration—and a reminder that grace is found even in the midst of letdowns. 
(06:48) Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Football as Family  
With <a href='https://fightingirish.com/'>Notre Dame</a> heading to the national championship, Father Dave reflects on what this moment means to him personally. The game brings back memories of his father, his childhood, and the deeper connection sports can create across generations. 
(17:28) Pilgrimage to Guadalupe and the Witness of Blessed Miguel Pro  
Father Dave shares deeply moving stories from his recent pilgrimage to <a href='https://www.planeta.com/mexico-city-basilica/'>Our Lady of Guadalupe</a>, highlighting the martyrdom of <a href='https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-of-the-day/blessed-miguel-agustin-pro/'>Blessed Miguel Pro</a>. From disguises and hidden Masses to the ultimate sacrifice, Miguel’s fearless cry—“Viva Cristo Rey!”—offers a timeless witness of faith under fire. 
(21:19) Baptism: Grace, Sacrament, and the Heart of the Church  
The hosts dive into a rich <a href='https://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/sacraments-and-sacramentals/baptism'>theological reflection on baptism</a>, emphasizing its foundational role in the Christian life. They share personal stories—from Deacon Bob’s family to Father Dave’s hospital ministry—revealing how baptism is a sacrament of both life and eternal hope. 
(26:10) Ordinary Time: Living the Gospel Daily  
<a href='https://www.usccb.org/prayer-worship/liturgical-year/ordinary-time'>Ordinary Time</a> isn’t ordinary at all. Father Dave and Deacon Bob unpack how this liturgical season, rooted in the public ministry of Jesus, calls us to deeper discipleship and attentiveness to the holiness of daily life. 
(33:30) Signs of Hope: From Martyrs to Athletes  
To kick off the <a href='https://www.usccb.org/jubilee2025'>Year of Hope</a>, the hosts share uplifting stories of faith—like young athletes openly praising God, a community praying amid wildfire devastation, and the unexpected rise in Bible sales among young adults. It’s a reminder that in a chaotic world, hope is alive and visible in big and small ways.

2024 Heroic Men's Leadership Summit

2024 Heroic Leadership Summit

Do you want to be great in life? If so, you know that every day you are surrounded by mediocrity. Most people are aimlessly wandering through life, numbing themselves from the pain of the reality they are living lives of quiet desperation.&nbsp;
But perhaps you want more. Maybe you want to see what life is like at the heights as you strive to get the most out of life. If so, this is the podcast for you!&nbsp;
Seeking Excellence is a lifestyle of extreme ownership and intentional living that demands courage, resilience, and mental toughness.&nbsp;

Seeking Excellence

How do you reach a generation that won&rsquo;t talk in person&mdash;but opens up online? In this episode of Heroic Hotline, meet Alex Pacheco&mdash;aka The Catholic Gamer&mdash;who turned Fortnite matches with his kids into a thriving digital faith community. What began as bonding time during the pandemic quickly evolved into a Discord-based mission field where young men felt safe to share struggles, seek advice, and explore faith.
Discover how video games&mdash;often blamed for isolation&mdash;became a gateway to real connection, emotional growth, and spiritual breakthroughs. Alex shares how Gen Z and Alpha, more fluent in digital dialogue than face-to-face conversation, find healing and identity in online squads. Through voice chat and gameplay, young men opened up about anxiety, loneliness, and purpose&mdash;topics they&rsquo;d never touch in a classroom or church basement.
This isn&rsquo;t just a feel-good story. It&rsquo;s a challenge: What if the Church entered the battlefield where boys already are? Alex&rsquo;s work through Intercession Gaming combines digital catechesis, mentorship, and esports into a living ministry&mdash;proving that even battle royales can lead to the Cross.

Wisdom isn&rsquo;t about how smart you are&mdash;it&rsquo;s about how surrendered you are. In Chapter Seven: Wisdom, Father Larry unpacks what it truly means to see the world through God&rsquo;s eyes and live according to His will. Real wisdom, he says, isn&rsquo;t political. It isn&rsquo;t macho. And it&rsquo;s definitely not self-centered. It&rsquo;s living like Jesus, who emptied Himself, took the form of a slave, and obeyed the Father&mdash;even to death.&nbsp;<a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Chapter 7: Holy Wisdom

We are enslaved by our attachments to this world. But the world REJECTED Christ. 
How could we love both Jesus and the world if they oppose each other? 
The world and Jesus just don't mesh. 

We must choose to submit ourselves FULLY to Jesus and “take nothing with us” like the true disciples we are made to be.

The Secret Sauce to Loving Jesus

<h2>Overview</h2>In this episode, David Niles and Adam Minahan sip on Brothers Bond bourbon, celebrate the election of an American pope, and share updates on farming and upcoming interviews in Nashville. The main discussion focuses on the importance of prayer, particularly in moments of temptation, drawing from scripture, saints, and practical advice for building a prayerful life. The hosts also promote their upcoming pilgrimage and Patreon support.<h2>Key Topics</h2><h3>1. Celebrating an American Pope</h3><ul><li>American Pope Enthusiasm: The hosts humorously declare “everything is American now” with the election of an American pope, jokingly claiming spaghetti and the Catholic Church as American.</li><li>Cultural Shift: They playfully note the Church is now “more profitable” with an American pope, reflecting their excitement for this historic moment.</li></ul> <h3>2. Personal Updates and Farming Adventures</h3><ul><li>David’s Farming Efforts: David shares his experience planting 576 kernels of corn (16 rows of 36) without tilling, following a “Back to Eden” approach using wood chips. He discusses challenges with nitrogen depletion in the soil, leading to poor growth, and plans to amend it.</li><li>Family Teamwork: David describes a rewarding family moment planting with his daughters, using a power drill and raking to plant seeds, fostering teamwork and bonding.</li><li>Farm Life: Updates include a nearly completed garden fence to keep out rabbits, 41 chickens, and a rooster confrontation. David’s son, Luke, caught his first rabbit, soon to be fried for dinner.</li><li>Anniversary Trip: David and his wife, Haley, celebrated their 13th anniversary in Mexico, briefly mentioned as a joyful getaway.</li></ul> <h3>3. Upcoming Interviews and Patreon Promotion</h3><ul><li>Nashville Interviews: The hosts are heading to Nashville to interview Father Mike Schmitz, Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh, Harrison Butker, and possibly Candace Owens, among others. These interviews will be posted first on their Patreon page.</li><li>Patreon Support: They encourage listeners to support The Catholic Man Show on Patreon to help spread the gospel in a manly way, with exclusive access to upcoming interviews. Visit thecatholicmanshow.com for details.</li><li>Guest Teaser: The hosts announce an upcoming episode with Dr. Kent Litnoski, who offered insights on living Lent as a married man, with plans for him to return to Tulsa for further discussion.</li></ul> <h3>4. Discussion on Prayer and Temptation</h3><ul><li>Scriptural Foundation: The hosts focus on Matthew 26:41 (“Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak”), reflecting on Jesus’ Agony in the Garden and the apostles’ failure to stay awake and pray.</li><li>Theological Importance of Prayer:</li><li>Union with Christ: Prayer during temptation unites us with Christ, who modeled prayer in distress, revealing man’s supreme calling (Catechism reference).</li><li>Humility and Dependence: Prayer crushes pride and fosters reliance on God, countering the modern tendency to act independently of Him.</li><li>Obedience: Jesus’ command to pray in temptation is reason enough to do so.</li><li>Saints’ Wisdom:</li><li>St. Alphonsus Liguori: Willfully neglecting prayer for a day is a venial sin, but neglecting it during temptation could be mortal, emphasizing prayer’s gravity.</li><li>St. John Chrysostom: Prayer is owed to God as a matter of justice, regardless of one’s state in life, with a suggested minimum of 15 minutes daily.</li><li>Origen and St. Jerome: The apostles’ failure to pray in the Garden shows the need for constant prayer to avoid falling into temptation, as temptation is inevitable but succumbing is not.</li><li>James Montgomery Poem: “Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath, the Christian’s native air, the watchword of the gates of death, he enters heaven by prayer,” highlighting prayer as essential for salvation.</li><li>Practical Applications:</li><li>Breaking the Cycle: Prayer disrupts the “daydream” of temptation, engaging rational faculties to resist sin’s allure.</li><li>Specific Prayers: Simple prayers like “Jesus, I trust in you,” the Jesus Prayer (“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy on me, a sinner”), “Mary, Mother most pure, pray for me,” and the St. Michael Prayer are highly efficacious during temptation.</li><li>Change Location: Physically removing oneself from the source of temptation (e.g., leaving a computer or bar) can weaken its pull.</li><li>Family Prayer: Quoting Fr. Clement Crock, family prayer offers a “holy violence to heaven,” infallibly drawing God’s blessings. The hosts discuss building habits like meal prayers to foster a prayerful family culture.</li><li>Habit Building: Regular prayer, confession, and examination of conscience build resistance to temptation over time, often unnoticed until reflected upon later.</li><li>Parenting Insight: A family’s rule allowing teenage sons to go for a run without questions to combat temptation (e.g., sexual) was praised for fostering open communication and practical solutions.</li></ul> <h3>5. Pilgrimage Promotion</h3><ul><li>Select International Tours: The hosts promote their October 2025 pilgrimage to Orvieto, Florence, Siena, Assisi, Cascia, San Giovanni Rotondo, Lanciano, and Rome, including a Wednesday papal audience. Listeners are invited to bring babies for a potential papal blessing.</li><li>Details: Visit selectinternationaltours.com for more information on this and other pilgrimages, sponsored by a trusted partner for over 34 years.</li></ul> <h3>6. Whiskey Tasting</h3><ul><li>Drink of the Episode: Brothers Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a four-grain, high-rye bourbon at 40% ABV.</li><li>Tasting Notes: Classic bourbon flavor with a baklava-like finish. Despite the rye, it lacks a strong rye flavor, making it smooth and enjoyable.</li><li>Jim’s Rating: 3/10 on the “yummy scale,” surprising the hosts who found it delightful.</li></ul> <h2>Memorable Quotes</h2><ul><li>“Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath, the Christian’s native air, the watchword of the gates of death, he enters heaven by prayer.” – James Montgomery</li><li>“The union of family prayers offers a holy violence to heaven and, where practiced, infallibly draws down God’s special blessing upon that home and that family.” – Fr. Clement Crock</li><li>“Sin is actually insanity… when we engage in sinful activities, we’re being idiots.” – Adam Minahan</li></ul> <h2>Call to Action</h2><ul><li>Join the Pilgrimage: Sign up for the October 2025 pilgrimage at selectinternationaltours.com to visit holy sites and attend a papal audience.</li><li>Support on Patreon: Visit thecatholicmanshow.com to become a patron, access exclusive interviews, and suggest questions for upcoming guests.</li><li>Explore Prayer Resources: Incorporate simple prayers like “Jesus, I trust in you” and the St. Michael Prayer into daily life to combat temptation.</li></ul> <h2>Sponsor</h2><ul><li>Select International Tours: Leading pilgrimages to holy sites worldwide for over 34 years.

And have some laughs along the way. Because who couldn't use more laughter in their life?&nbsp;

What does it really mean to be a man? Chapter Eight: Created delivers the answer with brutal clarity: to be a man is to give your life away. Father Larry tears into cultural lies about masculinity and replaces them with a vision rooted in Genesis, Jesus, and Joseph. This isn&rsquo;t about bravado. It&rsquo;s about becoming a protector, a servant, and a visible sign of God the Father&mdash;especially to your family. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

The things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least. The Church has the most important mission on the planet, "Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:18). The Family is the most important institution in the history of humanity, "The future of the world and the Church passes through the family" (Saint John Paul II). This podcast is a conversation about Leadership Where it Matters Most.

This weekly podcast series hosted by Sean Lynn invites you to his distinctively Irish Canadian Pub studio in sharing A Dram with Friends where we talk about faith, family, food and fun. Pull up a chair and Sean will pour you a drink of his, or your, favourite Whiskey. Distilled alcohol in Latin is ‘aqua vitae’, water of life. The Latin translates in Gaelic to ‘usisge beatha’, also water of life. Whisky is therefore water of life. Jesus would give you living water if you ask (Jn 4:10) and He later says: “Let anyone who thirsts come to me and drink.” Join Sean for A Dram with Friends.

A Dram with Friends

You see over 5000 marketing messages every day. In 2025, hundreds of billions of emails were sent every day, notifications never stop, and research shows the average person switches attention every 47 seconds. We are conditioned to live and stay teathered to noise. But all of this keeps us separated from God. In addition, Scripture warns that men will render account for every careless word they speak (Matthew 12:36), and God Himself speaks not in the earthquake or the fire, but in the whisper. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt expose how noise is not neutral; it weakens men, fragments our attention, and keeps us from a purposeful life. 
Silence is not passivity. It is your strategic power. It is an interior dominion. It is the hidden strength of St. Joseph, the composure of Christ before Pilate, and the battleground where identity and mission are clarified. John and Devin break down silence within ourselves, silence before others, and silence before God, why most men resist it, and why the man who refuses silence forfeits confidence, peace under pressure, and grace.

What does it really mean to &ldquo;fear the Lord&rdquo;&mdash;and how does it lead to becoming a true son of God?
In this powerful message, men are invited into a deeper understanding of God&rsquo;s immensity and His intimate love. Far from a distant force, God reveals Himself as &ldquo;Abba, Father&rdquo;&mdash;a loving Father who created us for relationship and calls us into divine sonship. Through baptism and the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are no longer slaves, but heirs with an eternal inheritance.
But there&rsquo;s a battle.
The enemy works to distort our identity, pulling men toward false versions of masculinity rooted in power, pleasure, and success. This talk exposes those counterfeits and calls men back to their true identity as beloved sons.
Through daily prayer, the sacraments, and a life poured out in love for others, men can grow in grace and become more like the Father.
This isn&rsquo;t just theology&mdash;it&rsquo;s a call to live differently.
