Rejecting Secular Dogma w/ Best Selling LGBTQ Author (Matt Walsh) | Ep. 323

Hey guys, today we're talking to Christ Stefanick about "wokism," cancel culture, and the other current trends that seek to separate us from Christ's mercy and love.

We'll learn that:
- Wokism doesn’t expand our view of reality, but instead causes anxiety and worry
- When we run the risk of being "canceled" over our beliefs, we must keep our focus on God’s mercy
- As Catholics, Jesus is the frame through which we view the world, and we shouldn’t be afraid to share His love and truth with others

BONUS: Is Lying Always Wrong? Fr Gregory Pine Vs. Dr. Janet Smith

Failure is a part of life. We all go through it every single day. The more we strive for greatness and personal excellence, the more we risk and experience failure.
In order to stay on the journey despite failure, we have to develop grit and endurance. We need the proper mindset in our approach to life in order to avoid surrendering to the shame of our setbacks.
In this episode, Nathan breaks down four main types of failure and ways we can properly respond to each of them. He shares his own experiences of major and minor setbacks, along with the ways he has overcome them.

Ep 16 | Seeking Excellence Through Failure

Today we chat to Thomas about Limbo. What is it? Are Catholics bound to believe in it? If it does exist what do the souls there experience? --- Whether those souls which depart with original sin alone, suffer from a bodily fire, and are punished by fire? Gregory Nazianzen in his fortieth sermon, which is entitled On Holy Baptism, distinguishes three classes of unbaptized persons: those namely who refuse to be baptized, those who through neglect have put off being baptized until the end of life and have been surprised by sudden death, and those who, like infants, have failed to receive it through no fault of theirs. Of the first he says that they will be punished not only for their other sins, but also for their contempt of Baptism; of the second, that they will be punished, though less severely than the first, for having neglected it; and of the last he says that "a just and eternal Judge will consign them neither to heavenly glory nor to the eternal pains of hell, for although they have not been signed with Baptism, they are without wickedness and malice, and have suffered rather than caused their loss of Baptism." He also gives the reason why, although they do not reach the glory of heaven, they do not therefore suffer the eternal punishment suffered by the damned: "Because there is a mean between the two, since he who deserves not honor and glory is not for that reason worthy of punishment, and on the other hand he who is not deserving of punishment is not for that reason worthy of glory and honor" [...] Hence, as his guilt did not result from an action of his own, even so neither should he be punished by suffering himself, but only by losing that which his nature was unable to obtain. On the other hand, those who are under sentence for original sin will suffer no loss whatever in other kinds of perfection and goodness which are consequent upon human nature ST. Appendix I, I, I. Whether these same souls suffer spiritual affliction on account of the state in which they are? right reason does not allow one to be disturbed on account of what one was unable to avoid; hence Seneca proves (Ep. lxxxv, and De ira ii, 6) that "a wise man is not disturbed." Now in these children there is right reason deflected by no actual sin. Therefore they will not be disturbed for that they undergo this punishment which they could nowise avoid. [...] Now in these children there is right reason deflected by no actual sin. Therefore they will not be disturbed [...] [T]he pain of punishment corresponds to the pleasure of sin; wherefore, since original sin is void of pleasure, its punishment is free of all pain. [...] [I]f one is guided by right reason one does not grieve through being deprived of what is beyond one's power to obtain, but only through lack of that which, in some way, one is capable of obtaining. Thus no wise man grieves for being unable to fly like a bird, or for that he is not a king or an emperor, since these things are not due to him; whereas he would grieve if he lacked that to which he had some kind of claim [...] Hence they will nowise grieve for being deprived of the divine vision; nay, rather will they rejoice for that they will have a large share of God's goodness and their own natural perfections.

64: Does the Church teach that Limbo is a real place?

All of us want to make a difference for Christ in our culture today.  But most of us don’t know where to begin.  A wide variety of issues competes for our attention.  One thing the Catholic church has consistently argued is that the family is the root of society.  As the family goes so the world will go.  Maybe this is why for the Catholic church so much attention is spent on developing family ties.  Why is this so, however?  And what importance should we give the family in our own efforts to transform the culture for Christ today?

DGT Episode 263 - The World Goes As The Family Goes - Impact Culture For Christ Part 6

Most Christians today recognize the importance of engaging our culture with the Gospel.  Changes are afoot that would radically alter the way that we raise our families and understand our fundamental freedoms.  This sense of urgency has led many to find the most effective ways to impact the culture.  How do we transform a culture before it transforms us?  One of the most overlooked methods, however, is the simplest: the direct encounter we can have with the people around us.  If cultural leadership were football, this would be the ground game, and this is the method our Lord, Himself, showed us.

DGT Episode 262 - Playing A Good Ground Game - Impact Culture For Christ Part 5

Today Victor and I are talking about how easy it is to focus on what we don’t have instead of the many blessings bestowed on us by God. We think, “If I had ___, then I’d be happy.” This can lead us to addictions to fill the void. Instead, we should be thankful for everything in our lives.

In this episode, we’ll learn that:

 - If we focus on what we think is missing from our lives, we can turn to addictions to fill the void.
 - We have so many comforts that others don’t have, it’s easy to take them for granted.
 - Maintaining a positive attitude and giving thanks to God for even the smallest things leads to true happiness.

They Are Coming for Our Children

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.

Stay Prayed Up with Hallow | Alessandro DiSanto | Episode #155

No Vacation From God
Father Mariusz Sztuk, another of the original members of the Riders, shares his impressions about how, when on a vacation our faith can be manifest in ways that may be outside of our normal. The riders have always been grateful to have a priest with them on their trips to be able to offer the sacraments to them. While traveling, besides their daily Mass, the men try to demonstrate their faith in public to others around them to hopefully engage with them. Father talks about how even just making the sign of the cross and praying grace at meal times in restaurants can be a witness to faith and may open doors for others who are searching.

My Favorite Pilgrimage Sites | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Why do so many men feel like nothing they do is ever good enough?

Join us in the pew this week as John unpacks the crushing weight of perfectionism, the very thing that keeps men stuck in cycles of inadequacy and self-condemnation. God isn’t asking for perfection; He’s inviting you into greatness. When you show up to Mass distracted or spend an imperfect hour with your kids, He sees your heart and effort, not your failures.

If you’re tired of the voice that says “it’s never enough,” this episode offers a biblical shift in perspective. Don’t let your mistakes define you; let them refine you.

A Generational Curse Lifted: The Testimony of Tammy Comer

"God never tires of forgiving us; we are the ones who tire of seeking his mercy." ~ Pope Francis, Joy of the Gospel 

Join John and Victor this week as they discuss the great power of the sacrament of Confession. "The whole power of the sacrament of Penance consists in restoring us to God's grace and joining us with him in an intimate friendship" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1468). Intimate and life-giving friendship is what the Lord desires for each one of us. Listen as the men share moments of wrestling with and experiencing this truth in their lives.

In this episode John and Victor discuss:
-Confession as an act of love, not punishment
-How our sin affects the entire Church
-Receiving Confession as a gift of mercy

Overseas Vocations Exploding

A Dram With Jeff Joaquin S5:E4

AI is a technological development that has unprecedented implications not only for the future of work but for every aspect of our lives. Our guest this week, Matthew Harvey Sanders, has an impressive AI resume and is using AI for the good of the Church. He has a bold prediction: 50% of people will be “gainfully unemployed” potentially on just a decade as a result of AI. That’s a scary thought if we consider that the vast majority of people either have no understanding (or very little understa...

Using AI for Good with Matthew Harvey Sanders

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.

Heroic Minute - Season 1

The Shroud of Turin is the most studied archeological object in human history, and Fr. Andrew Dalton joins the BeatiDudes for a journey into Shroud science that will move you regardless of where you are in your own faith walk. This is a throwback repost from Season Two and a tribute to one of our favorite episodes of all time. What the Gospels do not record, Shroud science does. But what does it reveal about the physical sufferings of the man? Are signs of Resurrection traced on the Shroud? How was this enigmatic image, which acts as a photonegative and encodes three-dimensional information, formed in the first place? Do these linen fibers contain the blood that was shed for our salvation?Fr. Andrew Dalton is a Catholic priest of the Legionaries of Christ and professor of theology at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in Rome. He teaches the Synoptic Gospels and Biblical Greek and Hebrew. Fr. Dalton obtained a Postgraduate Certificate in Shroud Studies in 2011 and became a board member of Othonia, an international center of investigation on the Shroud, in 2017. In 2018, he worked with Shroud experts worldwide to bring university-level studies to the English-speaking world. He also teaches the Biblical Theology of the Passion of the Christ for the Science and Faith Institute, which collaborates with the International Centre of Shroud Studies in Turin and the Giulio Ricci Diocesan Centre of Shroud Studies in Rome. <a href="https://www.othoniainternational.org">Shroud Studies</a><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://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</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>

The Burial Cloth of Jesus: Revisiting the Shroud | Fr. Andrew Dalton | Episode #158

Every man needs a rule of life—a clear, concrete framework that keeps prayer, family, work, and virtue in order. Without it, we risk wasting time, neglecting our duties, and drifting through life. With it, we gain clarity, perseverance, and a spiritual roadmap toward sanctity.In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, we explore:<ul><li>Natural benefits of a rule: better use of time, decisiveness, consistency, and efficiency.</li><li>Supernatural benefits: transforming daily actions into prayer, combating disorder, and conforming life to God’s will.</li><li>For your neighbor: how your fidelity inspires others, balances prayer and apostolic works, and sanctifies your community.</li><li>The right balance: flexibility without laxity, firmness without scrupulosity.</li><li>Concrete considerations: prayer, family life, work, personal discipline, community, and apostolic action.</li></ul> A rule of life isn’t about rigidity—it’s about freedom: God first, then your soul, your family, and your apostolate.“He who lives by rule, lives unto God.”

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 hear Jesus, the Divine King, give the Parable of the Sheep and Goats which confirms that He will judge all nations and that His followers who practice the Works of Mercy will receive eternal life in His Kingdom and those who do not will be sent to the eternal fire with the devil and his demons. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to beg for the Gift of the Fear of the Lord so he can continually remember the Four Last Things. We’ll also consider the absolute importance for every Catholic man to practice the Corporal Works of Mercy by building the Virtue of Charity.

Why Catholic Men Are Quietly Losing the Battle isn&rsquo;t about headlines. It&rsquo;s about the slow fade.
What if the real crisis facing Catholic men isn&rsquo;t loud rebellion&mdash;but quiet compromise? In this episode, we expose the subtle tactics of the enemy: the &ldquo;morning demons&rdquo; that hijack your thoughts before your feet hit the floor, the isolation that weakens brotherhood, the silent addiction to porn reshaping identity, and the cultural drift pulling men away from Mass, confession, and the Eucharist.
But this isn&rsquo;t a fear-driven message&mdash;it&rsquo;s a battle plan.
You&rsquo;ll discover why Satan&rsquo;s primary target is your identity as a son of God&hellip; how small daily habits (Scripture, confession, gratitude, the rosary) dismantle spiritual strongholds&hellip; and why brotherhood is the difference between freezing alone in the storm or standing firm together.
If you&rsquo;ve felt spiritually distracted, discouraged, or just off your game, this conversation will help you recognize the fight&mdash;and step into it with courage.

In this episode, James is joined by Ryan Young, founder of Camp Veritas, a Catholic Summer Camp for teens 12-18. Ryan is a man who has lived many lives, as he puts it. From briefly meeting his future spouse at a college meet-and-greet and knowing he was going to marry her to working as a Physician's Assistant in New York, Ryan is a doer. Husband and father to 8-children, Ryan's life is so busy he had to cut the interview short due to a little one needing stitches! During their discussion, Ryan and James speak about the four greatest challenges men face in this day and age, the biggest threats to boys becoming men, and how God rewards the proactive. Ryan is a man who believes there are no accidents and it is evident by the way he speaks about his faith and the Church. “There is nothing more delusional in the universe to think your opinion actually matters.” Ryan Young Like what you heard?

7 Things Protestants Misunderstand About Christianity (Dr. John Bergsma) | Ep. 523

Loneliness is one of the most widespread and least talked about struggles facing men today. John and Victor name what so many feel but rarely say out loud, the quiet isolation that exists even in homes, marriages, parishes, and pews filled with people.

If you have ever felt unseen, disconnected, or like you were carrying life on your own, this conversation is both a challenge and an invitation.

The Silent Epidemic

I recently saw a tweet from a priest that had a very unique message: Be a dumb Catholic. 
This seemed strange to me, but he did have a good point. The main idea was that we should strive to love God and the person in front of us above all else, including the pursuit of theological knowledge. 
It&#39;s easy to get to a place where you know ABOUT God but don&#39;t really know God in today&#39;s age of information. But is telling people to be a dumb Catholic really the solution the issues of our time?

Ep 247 | 'Be a Dumb Catholic'...Are you sure?

In this podcast, Dr Phil Chavez speaks again about what it is to be a Beloved Son in connection with the Liturgy. God desires that one gain grounding in their identity as well as their main duty in life. In this case, it is to embrace oneself as a Beloved Son, and thereafter offer worship God, particularly in the Mass. 

The secular world rejects an identity that is objective, and holds that everything is malleable and changeable. Dr. Chavez explains that the grounding of oneself as a Beloved Son is a good means by which to face a liquid society. To maintain grounding in one’s identity, and the primal duty of worship helps anyone looking for solid objectivity in the present age. Learn points as to how this becomes practical through a life of prayer and other means.

Life Updates + New Series Announcement! | Ft. Cameron Fradd

An engaged and loving father has a direct effect on the morality of his son or daughter. A father’s love impresses upon his child that he or she is beloved. The child will grow in confidence as they are loved and will more easily be able to bring love into his or her relationships, and ultimately the world. When a father’s love is not imparted, history has shown that there are devastating consequences.

Ep 13: Mind-Blowing Statistics: How Fatherhood Absence Affects Our World

We cannot be united with God unless we freely choose to love him But we cannot love God if we sin gravely against him, against our neighbor or against ourselves: "He who does not love remains in death. Deacon Harold shows how that leads to Hell as well as looks into Soulful Psalm 129.

The Four Last Things - Hell

He is an amateur marathoner and active member of the Chicago Catholic Run Club, saying that running has become a key part of his spiritual and personal life.

WOF 245: Catholic Morality 101

Ash Wednesday is here, and with it, the challenge to reclaim your soul for Christ. In this episode, we dive into the heart of Lent—what it truly means to fast, pray, and give alms as warriors of Christ, not as comfortable, lukewarm Christians. This is not just a season of self-denial; it is a battle against the three enemies of your soul: the world, the flesh, and the devil.Are you ready to fight? In this episode, I lay out a direct challenge for you: push yourself this Lent. If you've been soft, if you've let your passions control you, if you've allowed distractions to steal your time with God, then it's time to declare war on your heart.This isn't about doing Lent halfway. This is about transformation. It's about walking into Easter as a new man, purified, disciplined, and ready to lead.Powerful Quotes:<ol><li>“You don’t rend your heart to the world, the flesh, or to Satan. You rend it to Christ alone.”</li><li>“The Christians of old were made of granite. Have we grown soft? Lent is the time to prove otherwise.”</li><li>“Fasting is not just about giving something up—it’s about making war on what keeps you from God.”</li></ol>Pick something hard: something that actually challenges you, and give it up for Lent. If alcohol is a struggle, give it up. If you waste hours in a YouTube vortex, shut it down. Rend your heart to Christ and let Him do the work of cleansing you. This is not about checking a box. It’s about preparing your soul for eternity.This is your call to arms. Lent is not a season to endure—it’s a season to rise. Will you take the challenge?Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

WOF 361: What's Our Church's Growth Strategy?

EP 110 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

There are many sources of skepticism about God's unconditional love. We live in a society of Murphy's Law, where people presume that all good news is simply too good to be true. While the existence of God and the soul are challenging enough to a habitually skeptical culture, add the concept of "love" and the skepticism intensifies. But people who recognize the scientific or philosophical evidence for the existence of a Creator, Father Spitzer draws a necessary connection between an intelligent Creator and a loving God
The choice and the goal both lie before us. God calls us to a relationship of unconditional love, a transcendent destiny of eternal life, but we are free to choose. We must contend with human and spiritual evil, but through prayer we can draw strength from God. Are you ready to put your faith and trust totally in him?

Transcendence: Is Unconditional Love Real?

Today we bring you the first half of Bishop Barron's May 2024 address at the Star of the North Eucharistic Congress in Bemidji, Minnesota.

Juan Acosta is a young Latino immigrant who founded Tabella, the social app for Catholic communities. Before he started Tabella in 2020, he was the COO of Draper University, a pre-accelerator in Silicon Valley. Juan accelerated 700+ entrepreneurs and invested in world-changing ideas. He currently also serves as a board member of the funding arm of the International Catholic Migration Commission. After immigrating to the USA with his family at a young age, he faced incredible challenges that fortified his faith slowly - many of those experiences have led him now to focus on Tabella and his life&rsquo;s mission of bringing the world closer to God. <a href="https://jointabella.com/">jointabella.com</a>

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. In 2025, Word on Fire Catholic Ministries celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary. And in October of that same year, Bishop Barron and Word on Fire CEO Fr. Steve Grunow gave a presentation at the Good News Conference in Orlando in which the two men took a deep dive into Word on Fire's origins. How did it begin? What were its animating principles? What were some of its earliest strategies? Where did the name "Word on Fire" even come from? Why, in short, did Word on Fire develop the way that it did? Here to discuss these roots with Fr. Steve Grunow, in this first half of an hour-long conversation, is Bishop Robert Barron. <a href= "Links:">Links:</a> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

WOF 487: "Ipsum Esse" & Catholic Social Teaching (Part 2)

Today we share the second half (<a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/videos/wordonfire-show/episode342">listen to the first half here</a>) of Bishop Barron's presentation titled "Breaking Through the Buffered Self," which he offered for the prestigious 2022 Albert Cardinal Meyer Lecture series hosted at Mundelein Seminary back in March 2022. In the talk, Bishop Barron looks at the intellectual matrix that has made the army of the disaffiliated possible, namely, what Charles Taylor calls the culture of the "buffered self," the ego cut off from any living contact with the transcendent. Then, using the three great transcendentals—the good, the true, and the beautiful—as his framework, he proposes ways to break through the buffered self and to open the restless heart to a consideration of God and the things of God.

WOF 344: Seeking the Good and the Beautiful

This is Episode #176 of the Seeking Excellence Podcast hosted by Nathan Crankfield&nbsp;
On Friday's weekly round up, I briefly touched on the topic of dating advice. I specifically talked about who gives the best dating advice and who should be giving it.&nbsp;
Then I did a little IG poll and rant about the topic. I learned a lot from the discussions and responses I got.&nbsp;
In today's episode, I share my formulated thoughts on the topic and a little of my own experience receiving bad dating advice from loved ones.&nbsp;
