S2-Case#10-The Origin of An Exorcist

In this episode, Cameron Bertuzzi joins me for another debate - this time about praying to the saints. We discuss: - Catholic versus Protestant understandings of the word "prayer." - The relationship between the saints in heaven and Christians still on earth. - What Scripture says about this topic. <a href="https://pints.mattfradd.com/pwa-confessions-signup/">Sign up for my free course on St. Augustine's "Confessions"!</a> SPONSORS Hallow: <a href="http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a> STRIVE: <a href="https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> Ethos Logos: <a href="https://www.elinvestments.net/pints">https://www.elinvestments.net/pints</a> GIVING Patreon or Directly: <a href="https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/">https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/ </a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

On today’s podcast we’ll learn that:
 - An abundance of money can breed deceitful feelings of self-sufficiency
 - We are bound for trouble if we obsess about money and the things it can buy
 - True hope and security can only be found through God.

Love Of Money

The Catholic church has always taught that work was genuinely a human activity.  Meaning that it was something that we did that made our lives better.  But with the increase of technology, social media, and the changing demographics of the work force, work itself seems to be a different kind of experience.  Nevertheless, the truth about work hasn’t changed.  And God’s vision for work laid out in the Bible remains the same.  This is a Christian advantage.  By letting the truth of our faith inform our leadership Christians protect and enhance the working environment for all involved.

Tune into In Layman's Terms with co-hosts John Soukup and Bob Sullivan, a show dedicated to empowering Catholic men to live with mission, purpose, and faith. Drawing inspiration from Bob's popular column in the Southern Nebraska Register, each episode dives deep into topics that shape a man's spiritual journey&mdash;virtue, brotherhood, sacrifice, prayer, and the ongoing spiritual battle. With thought-provoking discussions and expert guests, this program is a source of strength and inspiration for men striving to lead meaningful, faith-filled lives&mdash;and for the people who support and love them.

Episode 191: Lent: Just Let Go

Lent starts tomorrow! So it’s about time we take a look at the things we are attached to, the things that are keeping us from Him, and choose to detach. It is time to be led into the desert. 


In this episode with John and Victor, you will hear about:

- Detachment from our idols
- Avoiding Hell vs. aiming for Heaven
- What did Jesus do when the devil showed up?
- The pain of healing!

Hey everyone, welcome to a very special milestone—our 300th episode of Just a Guy in the Pew! 🎉

We’ve laughed, we’ve learned, and we’ve seen how God has worked through this ministry to touch the lives of so many.

Ep 300! Looking Back . . .

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

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

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

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

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

Why are we here? | John Edwards

Many gifted people struggle with the temptation to draw all the attention to themselves.  The allure of leadership is that it puts us in positions of power and therefore esteem in the eyes of others.  A leader who is Christian needs to resist this of course and dedicate themselves to really enhancing the lives of others around them as a servant.  In this fourth of our thirteen part series on Mary, we look at how she lived as a servant leader as she visited her cousin, Elizabeth, in the hill country of Judea.

Today, John and Sam are excited to announce a new host to our show, Devin Schadt. He will be joining us weekly to answer the tough questions that men face and add to the depth of knowledge and discussion. This week we talk about warning signs that your wife is not feeling loved. We open up about what we have each learned about truly loving our wives and the many ways that we have failed. We then go into the importance of this topic and how by understanding the nature of women, we can be the husbands they need and the husband God is calling us to be. 
Finally, each week we are going to answer one of your questions during the podcast. This week we have a question from a father about how to be present to his kids after a long and exhausting day at work. If you have any questions, please, record yourself on your phone and send us the audio clip to <a href="mailto:podcast@catholicgentleman.com">⁠podcast@catholicgentleman.com⁠</a>. Or just send us your question and we will read it on air.

CarThoughts

Life is full of suffering. We all go through significant challenges, but there's no doubt that some of us have a bigger cross to carry than others. &nbsp;
Cody Byrns was doing all the right things. He was serving in his church and living his entire life for God. Things in his life were going just as he had expected, until everything suddenly changed. &nbsp;&nbsp;Sitting at a traffic light one day, his car was destroyed by a box truck going 60mph. What followed was an incredibly painful recovery from a near death experience. &nbsp;&nbsp;
How did Cody turn his biggest tragedy into a message of hope?&nbsp;
Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?&nbsp;
How might God be using the suffering in your life for a greater good?&nbsp;
