Heroic Stories - Full Video Episodes

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.

Staying Catholic While Working In The World

The Man Who Lost His Head for the Truth is more than a clever title&mdash;it&rsquo;s a piercing reminder of what real conviction looks like. In this stirring talk, Father Deacon Andrew Bennett draws us into the fearless faith of St. Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor who defied a king and paid with his life. With stories pulled from trial transcripts and scenes that echo through Westminster Hall, this video asks the hard questions: What is truth? Who gets to define it? And are we, like More, willing to suffer for it?
From the bloody legacy of Henry VIII&rsquo;s supremacy to today&rsquo;s quiet coercions, this is a bold meditation on what it means to live&mdash;and die&mdash;for the truth. Blending historical drama with deep spiritual insight, the talk is a call to live a public faith in a world that demands silence. Whether you're a student, a professional, or simply a Catholic who&rsquo;s tired of hiding your beliefs, this is your moment to be inspired by a man who was never afraid to say no. &nbsp; | ABOUT HEROIC MEN | Heroic Men strengthens men to become missionary disciples, to bring more men to Jesus Christ.

Today, John Heinen and Devin Schadt discuss the richness of Christmas traditions and how they improve everyone's lives. Find out why Christmas is celebrated on December 25th, the meaning of the term Xmas, and why we have multiple feast days we are told to enjoy within Christmastide. We also discuss the depths of the Protestants' historical revolt against Christmas and the secular attempt to rid it of its meaning.

How Catholics Celebrate Christmas Better Than Anyone

From UPS to Ministry Leader &mdash; what does it look like when an ordinary man follows an extraordinary call? In this heart-stirring episode of Heroic Hotline, Gil Alderete shares how a lifetime of quiet faith, hard knocks, and divine nudges led him from a UPS career to becoming the President of Catholic Men&rsquo;s Fellowship of California.
Raised a cultural Catholic, Gil&rsquo;s winding journey through Protestantism, back to the sacraments, and into ministry is filled with raw honesty, spiritual awakenings, and small miracles &mdash; including a powerful visit to the Basilica in Mexico that wasn&rsquo;t supposed to happen. Along the way, he opens up about the power of men&rsquo;s ministry, the burden and blessing of leadership, and what it really means to be &ldquo;another Christ&rdquo; in the world.
If you've ever felt unqualified, unprepared, or unsure about your place in God's plan, Gil&rsquo;s story will inspire you to act anyway. Because sometimes, the call comes to regular guys &mdash; and all God needs is your yes.

Goals, Dangers, Prayers, Governance, and Obedience to Fatherhood

It is time to take discipleship seriously. Following Jesus Christ is so much more than attending Sunday services and making a weekly donation.

Jesus modeled an active lifestyle that we are called to imitate. Join Fr. Michael Nixon as he breaks down what it means to be an activated disciple and strategies that you can start implementing now to be a heroic disciple of Jesus Christ.

Heroic Discipleship Summit: Fr. Michael Nixon

James Chapter One tells us to be doers of The Word, not just hearers. Listen to Gerald Montpetit tell us about how the Word of God, while attending a Protestant youth group, led him into the life of ministry that he has journeyed through ever since. After graduating from a Catholic Bible School, Gerald and his wife, Denise, put their faith into action by developing a program to reach and teach children about the faith through music.
Find out how the Montpetit Family became the Cat Chat Family and hear about their many adventures of bringing the faith to life through their ministry that continues to this day.

S2-Case #14 "Medium, Not Well Done", Pt 1

To solve any problem, we must first understand the situation and the more we can discern the causes, the more effectively we can identify a solution. Today's guest has raised and spent 20 million dollars seeking to know the cause for the decline of Christianity, specifically church attendance and open affiliation, in the West. Once discovered, he created a program that in only 3 years, across the entire city of Jacksonville, FL drove the divorce rate down by 24%. In addition, the city saw an increase of marital health, family stability, and church engagement. I am joined by J.P. De Gance to learn all about this study, his findings, and the changes that can occur with the work he is doing. We give a clear call to action to all listeners about what they can do to be a part of the solution. You can start today and the simple tools to begin are provided.Communio - https://communio.orgFull Study - https://communio.org/study🔴 Catholic Gentleman+ is Now Live - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com🔴 🔴 Help Support the Catholic Gentleman - https://catholicgentleman.com/support Learn more about your ad choices.

ECM 5 Minute Maxims for Men - Slow Down. Think Twice and Act Once

Why are young men returning to faith in record numbers? In this powerful conversation with Dr. George Weigel, we uncover the surprising reasons behind this growing movement. From the dark pull of internet isolation to the magnetic draw of traditional liturgy, beauty, and real brotherhood, we explore the challenges&mdash;and the hope&mdash;facing a new generation. What if the loneliness epidemic could be cured not with content, but with community? What if the secret to evangelization isn&rsquo;t strategy, but presence?
Packed with insights on reaching men through beauty, liturgy, and one-on-one time, this episode offers a blueprint for building a faith that speaks to modern masculinity. You&rsquo;ll hear stories of parish renewal, movements that are working, and why real friendships rooted in Christ are changing lives. Whether you're a leader, a father, or just someone who cares, this is a call to invite young men into the light.

Essential Prayers for Catholic Men

In this heartfelt and hilarious episode of The BeatiDudes, we welcome back Joseph Rodriguez—husband, father, pilgrim, and founder of Vocatio Travel. The Dudes pick up where they left off, diving deeper into Joseph’s family life, his journey through early fatherhood, and the holy (and often hilarious) chaos that comes with raising little saints-in-training.
From pandemic wedding plans and DIY honeymoons to balancing work and diaper duty, Joseph shares how he and his wife surrendered their family plans to God and found unexpected beauty in the mess. With two boys, a third child on the way, and a calling to bring families closer to God through pilgrimages, Joseph reflects on how justice, love, and humility are transforming his fatherhood one “toe knuckle” at a time.
This episode touches on:
- Parenting through a pilgrimage mindset
- Discipline vs. prideful correction
- What justice really means in the home
- Custom pilgrimages for kids based on their namesakes
- Irish toe knuckles, two birthdays, and other delightful detours
Join Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein as they blend holy wisdom with belly laughs, bringing you another memorable episode for Christian men striving to live beatitude-fueled lives.

Exodus Advent Challenge | The BeatiDudes | Episode #3 of 5

Producing Cabrini and Other Faith-Driven Films | Leo Severino | R4H In this episode, we welcome Leo Severino - producer of the well-known films Bella and Sound of Freedom - to discuss his new film Cabrini about the life and work of Mother Frances Cabrini: nun, Italian emigrant, and first American saint. We discuss how Leo came to dedicate his professional life to making faith-driven films of high quality as positive alternatives to much of what is comes out of Hollywood. We also delve into his approach to film-making as a way to bring the beauty of the Catholic faith to a universal audience in a way that attracts them. Cabrini - Film SynopsisFrom Alejandro Monteverde, award-winning director of Sound of Freedom, comes the powerful epic of Francesca Cabrini, an Italian immigrant who arrives in New York City in 1889 and is greeted by disease, crime, and impoverished children. Cabrini sets off on a daring mission to convince the hostile mayor to secure housing and healthcare for society's most vulnerable. With broken English and poor health, Cabrini builds an empire of hope unlike anything the world had ever seen. Hosted by Mario Costabile | Executive Director of Array of Hope  - Sponsors -The Leo House: A Historic Catholic Guesthouse for All Travelers has a faith-filled heritage dating back over a century ago to when it was run by sisters in the 1800’s. Since then it has grown and flourished into the best place for Catholic and non-Catholic travelers alike to stay in New York City. Located in Chelsea Manhattan, The Leo house has provided excellent accommodations that provide for both your physical and spiritual needs. We offer Mass and confessions right in the hotel.

About our drink:
<a href="https://www.jamesonwhiskey.com/en-EN/ourwhiskeys/jameson-18-year-old-limited-reserve" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jameson 18 year</a> - A blend of whiskies aged in American bourbon barrels and European oak casks, before finally being finished in first fill bourbon barrels, this whiskey earned a score of 95 points from Wine Enthusiast.
Tasting Notes: Nose opens with spicy oak and toffee, which is followed by more toffee and fudge notes on the palate, as well as subtle hints of sherry. The bourbon cask finishing leads to a smooth, vanilla finish, brightened by previous notes of toffee and caramel.

FORTITUDE is a no-nonsense advice book for finding the strength to deal with everything from menial daily frustrations to truly difficult challenges. More than that, it is a roadmap for a more resilient American culture. With meditations on perseverance, failure, and finding much-needed heroes, the book is the antidote for a prevailing "safety culture" of trigger warnings and safe spaces. Interspersed with lessons from history and psychology is Crenshaw's own story of how an average American kid from the Houston suburbs went from war zones to the halls of Congress -- and managed to navigate his path with a sense of humor and an even greater sense that, no matter what anyone else around us says or does, we are in control of our own destiny.

5 Essentials Every Son Needs From His Father

Ismail Youssef, also known as Ish of Arabia, a former Muslim who left Islam to embrace Catholicism, rejecting what he sees as the contradictions, injustices, and oppressive teachings of Muhammad. Now, he dedicates his life to exposing the flaws of Islam and bringing the truth of Christianity to Muslims worldwide. Ismail produces hard-hitting videos that challenge Islamic doctrines and reveal the historical and theological problems within the faith. He is currently writing Thirst for a Life-Giving Water, a powerful account of his journey out of Islam and into the freedom of Christ. His work is a stand for truth, no matter the cost.

BONUS: Singleness, Discernment and The Priesthood with Father Moses

Edmund Mitchell joins The BeatiDudes for the bonus episode. Edmund’s career includes a unique blend of creative work, a wide array of ministry experience, and a passion for the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Edmund is the co-founder of Real + True, an extensive platform that explains the Catechism using a creative approach to each of the document’s four-part framework – the Creed, sacraments, morality, and prayer. The work of Real + True makes the teachings of the church accessible and enjoyable. The show starts by reviewing the imprimatur (aka the Oprah Mater) that was granted to Real + True by the Dicastery for Evangelization. Edmund reflects on the pressure he feels as he undergoes the creative process for each new segment. Jeff tells more stories of times he made “big timing” statements to the people in his life, and this time he tells the story of asking his wife on their first date. During “Blessed are the Joke Makers,” the Dudes answer the question, “I will be canonized for ______” as a self-righteous vegan.Edmund leaves us with nuggets of personal wisdom about books he likes and another that he finds to be overrated. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow Edmund and his work:</h2><a href="https://realtrue.org/">Real + True</a><a href="https://bummerlazarus.co/">Bummer + Lazarus</a><a href="http://edmundmitchell.com/">Edmund Mitchell</a><a href="https://www.osv.com/">OSV </a>- Producers of Real + True<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>

<h2>About our topic:</h2>
CCC <a href="http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p123a9p3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">828</a>:
<blockquote>By canonizing some of the faithful, i.e., by solemnly proclaiming that they practiced heroic virtue and lived in fidelity to God&#8217;s grace, the Church recognizes the power of the Spirit of holiness within her and sustains the hope of believers by proposing the saints to them as models and intercessors. &#8220;The saints have always been the source and origin of renewal in the most difficult moments in the Church&#8217;s history.&#8221; Indeed, &#8220;holiness is the hidden source and infallible measure of her apostolic activity and missionary zeal.&#8221;</blockquote>
And CCC 829 brings it home:
<blockquote> &#8220;But while in the most Blessed Virgin the Church has already reached that perfection whereby she exists without spot or wrinkle, the faithful still strive to conquer sin and increase in holiness. And so they turn their eyes to Mary&#8221;:306 in her, the Church is already the &#8220;all-holy.&#8221;</blockquote>

The Role of the Saints in the Renewal of the Church

CANDID - Inside the Vatican: The Life of a Swiss Guard

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>

About the Topic:
<div>
A true devotion is defined as a "promptness of the will in the service of God" - Aquinas
Errors of a True Devotion:
1. In wishing to go to our Lord without passing through Mary. Some Catholics do not see clearly enough how expedient it is to have recourse to the Blessed Virgin in order to enter the intimacy of Christ.
2. They fear that devotion toward her is abused and that injury is done to our Lord by paying excessive honor to BVM.
3. Seems to consider Mary a hindrance in reaching divine union, whereas all her influence is exercised in order to lead us to it.
"To neglect the mediators whom God has given us because of our weakness, shows a lack of humility. Intimacy with our Lord in prayer will be greatly facilitated by frequent recourse to Mary."
EX: Asking Mary to help make a good examination of conscience and confession.
"There are Catholics who do not see clearly enough the necessity of having recourse to Mary that they may attain to intimacy with the Savior” - Fr. RGL
Degrees of the Devotion:
1. Consists in praying to the BVM from time to time, honoring her as the Mother of God, saying, for example, the Angelus with true recollection every time it rings.
2. Having more perfect sentiments of vereration, confidence, and love for Mary. Lead us to the daily recitation of at least one of the three parts of the Rosary while we meditate on the joyful, sorrowful, or glorious mysteries, which are for us the road of eternal life.
Page 27 in Secrets of the Rosary on why the rosary is more efficacious than reading the psalms.
3. True devotion to Mary, that proper to proficients, consists in consecrating oneself entirely to our Lord through her. "This devotion consists in giving oneself entirely to the BVM in order to belong entirely to Jesus Christ through her."
CCC 964: Mary's role in the Church is inseparable from her union with Christ and flows directly from it. "This union of the mother with the Son in the work of salvation is made manifest from the time of Christ's virginal conception up to his death";504 it is made manifest above all at the hour of his Passion
Fruits of the Devotion:
St. Louis de Montfort says that this road to God is easier, and nevertheless more meritorious, and consequently a more perfect, short, and sure road.
“But thanks to Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort,” he wrote in 2004 in the Letter to the Religious of the Montfortian Families, “I understood that authentic devotion to the Mother of God is truly Christocentric (…). Reading True Devotion marked a turning point in my life. I say a ‘turning point’ although it is a long inner journey that coincided with my clandestine preparation for the priesthood. I realized (…) something fundamental. It happened that the devotion of my childhood and even my adolescence to the Mother of Christ gave way to a new attitude, a devotion coming from the depths of my faith, as from the very heart of the Trinitarian and Christological reality.” -JP2
1 Cor. 4:16, “I urge you, then, be imitators of me.” The saints show us how to imitate Christ.
"Everyone should have a genuine devotion to Mary and entrust his life to her motherly care." Vatican II document Decree of the apostolate of lay people

Devotion to Mary

Spokane Bishop Thomas Daly is urging Catholic voters in Washington state to oppose a proposed law that would order priests to violate the seal of confession in cases where child abuse is revealed during the sacrament. 
The bill, proposed in both houses of the state Legislature, would amend state law to require clergy to report instances of child abuse with no exemption for instances where the abuse is learned during the sacrament of penance. 
Deacon Harold shows us the Catholic response and Also looking into Soulful Psalm 31:10-14

The Seal of Confession

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.

The Primary Importance of Fathers w/ Fr. Mark-Mary, CFR

Father Michael McGivney is a documentary that brings to life the story of one of America's most extraordinary Catholic priests. Born in Connecticut of Irish immigrant parents just a few years before the Civil War, Michael McGivney grew up at a time when millions of Catholic immigrants were struggling to overcome poverty and prejudice. As a parish priest in the gritty New England manufacturing town of New Haven, he made a deep impact on his community, earning the respect of the Protestant establishment and the love of his parishioners at St. Mary's Church. Emboldened to care for families threatened by the death of the breadwinner, Fr. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, a mutual benefit society that today remains the world's largest Catholic lay organization with 1.8 million members in 13 nations. This film offers a rare glimpse into the life of an extraordinary priest and visionary leader. From defending the persecuted Church to protecting widows and orphans, Father Michael McGivney celebrates the triumphs and tribulations of a priest who may very well be America's first canonized parish priest.

This movie is not rated, but is suitable for all ages.

Bishop Greg Kelly, the newly installed 5th Bishop of the Diocese of Tyler, joins BeatiDudes Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein again for this bonus episode about homilies. Bishop Greg Kelly was ordained to the priesthood in 1982. Throughout his life, he listened to many boring homilies, and he longed to deliver something better. When the Institute for Homiletics opened its doors in Dallas in 2021, Bishop Kelly was among the first to enroll. The Institute for Homiletics, a collaboration between the University of Dallas and the Catholic Foundation, was founded to renew preaching in the Catholic Church. The Institute believes that preaching should bring the people of God into an encounter with the living God.Likewise, the Institute for Religiously Funny Podcasts has blessed the work of The BeatiDudes for successfully combining humor and holiness in every episode of the show. <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://onfiremedia.com/beatidudes">On Fire Media</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://one-visit-away.teachable.com/p/major-gift-millions/">Kevin's Course - Major Gift Millions</a><a href="https://ustmaxstudios.com/network/">MAX Studios</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a> BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a> <a href="https://www.davemooremusic.com/">Dave Moore Music</a>

A First Responder’s Panic Attack Led to the Catholic Church

<h2>Bishop Sheen devotee shares his love!</h2>
In this week’s episode, Sean is joined from Ontario by Alan (Al) Smith. Come along and listen as they discuss and share Alan’s growing up in a large family of 12, how his father’s deep faith impacted him with daily Mass and daily Rosary, and the example his father set for him and his brothers, and how he tries to impart that with his own family and all who he comes into contact with.

A Dram with Al Smith

What if the faith you grew up with became your deepest source of shame? Here's jhow Chris Mann went from trying to be perfect for God to nearly losing himself completely. He spiraled into self-harm and isolation—haunted by scriptures he thought were commands. Every failure felt like proof he was beyond saving.But everything shifted at a retreat he didn’t expect. That’s where Chris met Christ—not as a rule-giver, but as someone who saw him fully and loved him anyway. That moment cracked his entire belief system wide open.This is how Chris began to heal—not by fixing his behavior, but by learning he was never alone. He didn’t have to earn love. He just had to receive it.Join the Heroic Brotherhood: Our only community: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/brotherhood">https://heroicmen.org/brotherhood</a>Pay it forward: Join the Heroic Alliance: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/alliance">https://heroicmen.org/alliance</a>

Has the Catholic Church Lost It's Edge?

David Rinaldi, President of NET Ministries, shares an incredible journey of faith and hope in this BeatiDudes bonus show with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein.During his days in college, David enjoyed Bible studies and small groups with friends who were mostly anti-Catholic. During World Youth Day in Denver, David reluctantly took a youth group to hear Pope John Paul II, during which he experienced a conversion of heart that brought him back to Catholicism. David’s post-college experience in the Air Force also played a formative role in his faith journey. He and other friends wanted to evangelize young people in Minnesota, and that was when he first encountered NET Ministries. This group had already been established to do exactly what David felt called to do in his heart. Years later, he told his commanding officer in the Air Force about the pull on his heart for ministry, and that man proceeded to pull out his Bible to join David in prayer and support.

From Addiction to Redemption: Jeff Joaquin’s Powerful Testimony

From gang life to God’s grace—Alan Diaz’s transformation is nothing short of miraculous. In this gripping episode of Heroic Stories, Alan shares his journey from the dark streets of New York, where violence and survival ruled his days, to a life of faith, purpose, and true Brotherhood in Christ. He opens up about the pain of abandonment, the false promises of gang loyalty, and the moment he cried out to God for a way out. A chance encounter, the love of a good woman, and an unexpected blessing set him on a path to redemption. Now, Alan is a devoted husband, father, and leader in his community, using his testimony to reach the next generation. This is a story of struggle, faith, and the power of real Brotherhood—the kind that lifts men up rather than tears them down.Subscribe free to weekly Heroic Men email: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://stories.heroicmen.org">https://stories.heroicmen.org</a>| ABOUT THIS SHOW |Heroic Stories—the series to strengthen Catholic men with raw stories of heroic grit &amp; faith.

His journey from grassroots activism against abortion to becoming a leader who drives others to take action is proof that real change starts with heroic leadership.Bereit calls men to step up and lead their families and communities with courage, especially in the face of cultural dangers. His three-step framework—win, build, and send—is all about building authentic relationships, deepening faith, and creating a ripple effect of spiritual multiplication. By investing in others and raising up disciple-makers, Bereit shows us how we can transform our culture and build God’s kingdom right here on Earth. This is a blueprint for true leadership—no shortcuts, no excuses.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.

We will build a bridge between two ways of knowing who God is: reason on the one hand, and Divine Revelation on the other. By pondering the answers to a half-dozen simple questions for ourselves, we will see the beautiful way faith and reason build on each other leading to the conclusion that Jesus is Emmanuel, “God with us,” and that He is unconditional love.In this episode you will learn that ...■ We can only know who God is, whether He loves us and if His love is unconditional, whether He has a plan for us, and whether (and how) He saved us from sin, by the means of Divine Revelation.■ Jesus Christ, the founder of Christianity, made an astonishing claim that no other world religion founder has: that He is God Himself, Emmanuel, “God with us.”■ There are four different kinds of love: the love of affection for someone or something, the love between friends, romantic love, and charity, or unconditional love.■ God is love.■ Because God is love, He seeks to share His loving goodness with us, to be with us as one of us, to communicate to us in the way we are His loving mercy.■ God’s love is unconditional.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

Episode 6: From an Intelligent Creator to Jesus

50% of young men abandon faith in the Church - and God altogether - because they believe faith and science are in conflict. More, they believe there is zero evidence for God, Jesus, and life after death. Today, there's more evidence than ever before for these, and a super-majority of young scientists declare they believe in God. Fr Spitzer's series is powerful and effective with young men between 13-24 years. Heroic Men is proud to partner with the Magis Center for Reason and Faith to bring men this essential series on the Catholic Faith and Science. Fr. Robert J. Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D. provides evidence and answers to the most pressing questions of our time: Do We Have Immortal Souls? Why Believe in God? Why Believe in Jesus? Who is Jesus? Why be Catholic? What is True Happiness? If God Love Us, Why Do We Suffer? Perfect for Faith Formation: Men, Women, Outreach, Youth Ministry, RCIA, Diaconate Formation, and Educators!&nbsp;This 20-week series is broken into 20-30 minute videos, perfect for small group watching.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

When a Pro Athlete Embraces Sainthood, everything changes&mdash;from the locker room to the prison chapel. In this powerful episode, former NFL and CFL star John Chick opens up about his unlikely path from professional football to leading prison ministry and training men in faith and fitness. Through stories of mercy missions, family life with 11 children, and his Act F8 Iron Saint method, Chick shows how discipline, suffering, and spiritual hunger can become doorways to something greater.
What happens when your body is no longer your greatest strength? How do you answer the call to deeper purpose&mdash;especially in a world that celebrates noise over virtue? This isn&rsquo;t just a testimony. It&rsquo;s a blueprint for becoming the kind of man the world desperately needs. From childhood soup kitchens to encounters with Christ behind bars, Chick invites you into a life of clarity, strength, and purpose.

Contemporary scientific evidence, as we shall see, favors the existence of God; it does not contradict it. The evidence for God from philosophy, science, and the medical study of near-death experiences (some of which were discussed in Unit 1) is enormous. In this chapter, we will learn about three principal areas of physical evidence for an intelligent Creator: the Borde-Vilenkin-Guth Proof, the entropy evidence, and fine-tuning evidence at the Big Bang.In this episode you will learn that ...■ Science and faith have the same goal: to understand the universe as it really is.■ Contemporary science provides many kinds of evidence for the existence of God.■ All coherent, evidence-based theories of our universe require a definite beginning in the past.■ That only nothing can come from nothing is a basic principle of metaphysics.■ Something that must transcend (be beyond) physical reality must cause physical reality to move from nothing to something. We call that something a Creator, or God.■ The structure of the universe that we have, with all its conditions fine-tuned to favor life, is virtually impossible to attribute to random chance.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

Episode 3: Scientific Evidence of an Intelligent Creator

What if the moment you built your life around—your career, your ambitions, your independence—was taken away in an instant? Dean faced that reality when he learned he was going blind. Mid-career, with a family relying on him, he spiraled into self-doubt and isolation. But instead of letting darkness consume him, he found new heroes, a deeper faith, and a mission to serve. From learning how to navigate a world without sight to walking into a maximum-security prison to bring hope to the forgotten, his story is one of resilience, Brotherhood, and faith. If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or alone, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what true strength looks like—and where to find it.Subscribe free to the weekly Heroic Men email: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://stories.heroicmen.org">https://stories.heroicmen.org</a>For the price of a coffee, you can support our mission to reach 25,000 men in 2025. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/give">https://heroicmen.org/give</a>| ABOUT HEROIC MEN |Heroic Men strengthens men to become missionary disciples, to bring more men to Jesus Christ.

What is Backbiting?

Friends, what is a Holy Hour? How do you do it, and why should you start? On today's episode of the "Word on Fire Show," Brandon Vogt and I discuss one of the most powerful spiritual disciplines you can adopt. A listener asks, if the Eucharist is so important, why isn't it mentioned in the Nicene Creed?

Episode 218 - Jesus Christ is born in poverty to the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph in Bethlehem and is accompanied by an army of of angels - The Nativity of Our Lord - Mass at Night - December 25, 2024 - Lk 2:1-14

"[Jesus] was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the devil." - Luke 4:1On the day Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit anointed him. Immediately after this event the Holy Spirit led Jesus to the desert. The desert was a place of isolation, death, and defeat, but Jesus was led to the desert so that it may be forever changed into a place of grace. The Spirit led Jesus to the desert and also protected and cared for him while he was there. The desert is a part of every Christian's life but it does not have to be a place of despair or isolation. The Holy Spirit is present to life's deserts and when we experience his presence it changes our spiritual life. The desert is no longer a place to be feared but can be a profound encounter with Jesus.<a href="https://wildgoose.tv/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Wild Goose Website</a> | <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hOAVbPbyXfzLijwZdhtcqa9_9bHFiff1/view?usp=drive_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Study Guide</a>

Throughout Church history, these miracles have been complemented by those connected with apparitions of Jesus’ Mother, the intercession of saints, and Eucharistic miracles.In this episode you will learn that ...■ Throughout the history of the Church, many miracles have been associated with apparitions of Mary, the intercession of the saints, and the Holy Eucharist.■ Contrary to popular belief, miracles are not a total suspension of the physical laws of science; though inexplicable, they are supernatural causes or events introduced by God into the natural patterns of nature.■ While there are many accounts of Our Lady appearing to the faithful in the history of the Church, the Church applies four specific criteria before approving Marian apparitions as valid.■ In the 20th and 21st centuries there have been many well-documented and scientifically confirmed miracles that occurred in connection with the canonization of well-known saints, and a number that manifest the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist.■ In a world largely governed by a materialistic view of reality, miracles validate the truth of God’s presence, goodness, and love for us.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

Where does true strength come from? Hint: It&rsquo;s not your willpower, discipline, or grind. In Chapter Five, Strength, Father Larry reveals the real source of masculine strength&mdash;the Holy Spirit. Not brute force. Not control. But daily surrender to God&rsquo;s power living inside you. This chapter lays out the bold truth: most men are spiritually weak because they still try to do everything on their own. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Chapter 5: True Strength

Today, we're excited to share with you Bishop Barron's recent talk at Harvard University titled "The Catholic Intellectual Tradition," sponsored by the Harvard Catholic Forum. Bishop Barron explores some foundational themes in the Catholic intellectual tradition, including God, the human person, sin and grace, society, and freedom. All flow from Christology, our understanding of Jesus, so that, as St. Bonaventure said, Christ is truly found at the center of all the disciplines pursued in the university.

S2- Case #15 "A Family Affair", Pt 1

Alan Diaz didn’t find belonging in the streets of Harlem or in a gang; he found it in real brotherhood. Growing up without a father, he got pulled into the Bloods, searching for something that could never fill the void. The regret weighed heavy, but his story didn’t end there.Alan’s life took a turn when love and faith stepped in—starting with his wife, Daniela, and powerful mentors like Father Orlando and his brother Mike. They didn’t just support him; they showed him the way to redemption.Here’s the punchline: true strength isn’t about playing tough. It’s about humility, forgiveness, and the bonds you build in Christ’s love. Alan’s journey is proof that the hardest struggles can forge the most authentic relationships. And if you’re still chasing something real, it’s time to look in the right place.

From Gang Life to Grace: Alan Diaz's Journey to Seek Heroic Manhood

In the ascent towards holiness and happiness, a Catholic man must build the good habits (Virtue, from the Latin, vir, meaning “manliness, moral strength, goodness, valor”) of the moral life and break the bad habits (Vice, from the Latin, vitium, meaning “defect, offense, blemish, imperfection”) which cause him to fall into sin and risk losing his salvation. The Church provides a comprehensive list of Virtues which fall into two major categories: Theological Virtues (Supernatural) and Cardinal Virtues (Human). Because it is impossible for a mere man ascend to Heaven on his own ability, God grants every Catholic man the supernatural help to grow in Virtue through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit which are freely available to every Catholic man who remains in a state of grace; even if a Catholic man falls into mortal sin and loses the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, he can repent, confess his sins in the Sacrament of Penance and return to a state of grace and regain access to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. What a man needs to break Vice and build Virtue is to come to understand Vice and Virtue and then seek God’s help. To help men understand Virtue and Vice and take concrete action, <a href='http://everycathoicman.com/'>EveryCathoicMan.com</a> has developed the Litanies of Virtue.<a href='https://everycatholicman.com/overview-of-vice-virtue-and-the-holy-spirit/'>To learn more about Vice, Virtue and the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit, go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a> <a href='https://everycatholicman.com/litany-of-fortitude-against-effeminacy/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Fortitude go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a>

Exodus Advent Challenge | The BeatiDudes | Episode #2 of 5

What does Ad Orientem have to do with Gladiator 2? 
Father Dave and Deacon Bob kick off the Advent season with football victories, movie mayhem, and final reflections on the pope’s encyclical on the Sacred Heart. From Notre Dame’s playoff hopes to Gladiator 2’s brooding battles, it’s an episode filled with sports, spirituality, and a surprising amount of wine. (Star Trek wine, that is.) 
They swap Thanksgiving stories, reflect on family traditions, and explore how sports can form deep relational bonds—even between a theater kid and his football-loving dad. Father Dave also shares about his upcoming trip to Rome and what it means to be a “missionary of mercy” in everyday life. 
The heart of the episode? Advent. They unpack the challenge of finding peace in the chaos, what it means to “pray always,” and why even the Son of Man’s arrival doesn’t guarantee a quiet season. Through sports, Scripture, and storytelling, they invite listeners into a deeper encounter with the Sacred Heart this Advent. 
Want to dive deeper this Advent? Pray with us and share the hope; one story, one laugh, and one sacred moment at a time.

David Rinaldi journeyed from Minnesota to “put out into the deep” with Jeff Schiefelbein, Paul Kolker, and Nick Bezner at the tiny table. As the President of NET Ministries, David leads a joyful and faith-filled team that challenges young Catholics, through relational ministry, to follow Christ and embrace a life of community in the Church. With over 25 years of experience as a Catholic leader and speaker, David empowers their staff and missionaries to fulfill Jesus’ command to go and make disciples.NET Ministries (aka National Evangelization Team) started as a group of college students in St. Paul, Minnesota, who were empowered by the Holy Spirit and started retreats. It only grew from there. After 43 years of NET, the ministry grew throughout the United States and has been replicated in Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Uganda, and Australia. Former NET missionaries continue to be involved in their parishes and many join Religious Life with more than 80 Priests and 3 Bishops. During their training, NET volunteers learn formation, reconciliation, uplifting speech, the power of being heard, and the most efficient way to set up chairs at NET events. Join NET as they set up a regional hub in Dallas, Texas.

You can&rsquo;t live as a true Christian man on your own. In Chapter Four, Holy Spirit, we enter the heart of power, purpose, and surrender. This chapter kicks off a four-part focus on the forgotten third person of the Trinity&mdash;who isn&rsquo;t just a &ldquo;spiritual idea&rdquo; but the fire and force that makes Christian living possible. &ldquo;You will receive power,&rdquo; Jesus said. And most of us are still trying to live without it. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Faith, Fatherhood, and Building a Stronger Marriage (Nick Freitas) | Ep. 501

This modern and very human take on the story of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, often called "The Saint of Second Chances," is an incisive and thrilling look at the life of the real man behind the legend. In his lifelong quest to become the heroic knight of his fantasies, Ignatius stares death in the face again and again, having his leg shattered by a cannonball in battle, driven to near suicide by his inner demons, finding himself imprisoned, accused of being an illuminati, and finally finding his life in the hands of the Inquisition. Through it all, he would come to see the hand of God working in his life, shaping the self-obsessed sinner into the loyal and passionate soldier-saint.
