Life is full of distractions. It can be incredibly difficult to keep God in your top 10 priorities, let alone the primary focus of your life.&nbsp;
David Patterson is a great example of what it looks like to live a God-centered life. He is an incredible man who has gone on a great journey of faith, trust, and transformation to become who he is today.&nbsp;
David runs the @yescatholic Instagram page where he interviews catholic men and women about their own journey of faith. This time, I was able to get David on the other side of the interview! We had a great conversation about a wide range of topics.&nbsp;

Ep 144 | Focusing Your Life on God w/ David Patterson from @YesCatholic

The first words out of Jesus' mouth—and the central theme of his preaching—concerned the Kingdom of God. As we celebrate the Solemnity of Christ the King, Bishop Barron explores three dimensions of his unique kingship. A listener asks if God is love, and love is an act of the will, is God reducible to will?

WOF 207: Christ the King

Victor and I are diving into something really close to my heart—what Advent is truly about. It’s so easy to let this season slip by in the rush to Christmas, but Advent is such a gift if we really lean in. It’s not just about lighting candles or decorating—it’s about inviting Christ into the deepest parts of our lives.

We talk about how Advent challenges us to open the doors we’ve kept locked for far too long—the places of shame, hurt, and brokenness. Jesus came into the world as a baby, humble and vulnerable, and He’s waiting to come into our hearts in the same way.

In this episode, we break open scriptures like John 1 ("The Word became flesh"), Isaiah 61 ("He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted"), and Philippians 2 ("He emptied himself...") to explore why Christ came and how we can prepare ourselves to welcome Him fully. We also share personal stories about letting Jesus into the messiness of our lives and what happens when we do.

I’m praying this episode inspires you to make this Advent more than just a countdown to Christmas. Let’s prepare our hearts, invite Him in, and let His light shine in our darkest places.

Advent: Preparing the Way of the Lord

She skied in the Winter Olympics in 2006 in Torino (Italy) and is a world champion, being a multi-sport athlete. Among other topics, she discusses peer pressure she had to stay away from in her late teens relative to partying, the deeper she moved into her skiing pursuits and faith commitment. She is also a mother of five children with her sixth on the way. She mentions having recently moved to Idaho and a 55-acre site where they hope to host Catholic families to be renewed in recreation and faith ("learn to pray and play again").

Trusting in God to direct your life ain't always as easy as it sounds. We constantly hear about surrender, and for good reason, but it's critical that we recognize that giving your life to God is filled with challenges, doubt, fear, and uncertainty.&nbsp;
In this episode, Josie breaks down the ways she has struggled with trusting in God's plan for her life. She also shares the way God has continued to pursue her and provide for all her needs and more!&nbsp;

Friends, the Liturgy of the Hours is the highest form of prayer after the Mass. It is an ancient, structured way of praying Scripture throughout the day, focusing especially on the Psalms.

The 11th century was a mess—corrupt clergy, moral decay, and a Church in desperate need of reform. Enter Saint Peter Damian. A man of prayer, penance, and unshakable courage, he didn’t just sit back and complain—he fought for holiness. Hard.In this episode, we dive into: 🔥 How St. Peter Damian took on corruption in the Church—without fear.  🔥 The brutal truth about comfort and why modern men are spiritually weak.  🔥 Why calling out sin isn’t just an option—it’s a duty.  🔥 Practical steps to strengthen your spiritual life through penance, prayer, and sacrifice.  🔥 What YOU can do today to grow in holiness, starting now.St. Peter Damian was a warrior for truth. Will you follow in his footsteps?🔥 3 Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>“We are not made for comfort. We are made for greatness.”</li><li>“He called out the Cardinals, the bishops, and the priests who abused their power. That took courage. Maybe you need to have courage today.”</li><li>“True reform begins with ourselves. Are we praying daily? Are we frequenting the sacraments? Are we striving for purity of heart and mind?”</li></ol>One Key Takeaway:Do something hard today. Comfort breeds weakness. Challenge yourself physically, mentally, or spiritually. Fast. Take a cold shower. Confront a difficult conversation. The only way to grow in holiness is through struggle.References &amp; Products Mentioned:<ul><li>The Book of Gomorrah – St. Peter Damian’s fearless rebuke of clerical immorality</li><li>2 Timothy 1:7 – “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”</li><li>The Comfort Crisis – A modern book highlighting how soft we've become</li><li>The Liturgy of the Hours – St. Peter Damian’s “weapon” in the spiritual battle</li></ul>Men, it’s time to step up.

Friends, today we share a sample lesson from Bishop Barron's new Word on Fire Institute course titled <a href= "https://wordonfire.institute/courses/churchfathers" target= "_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">"Reading Scripture with the Early Church Fathers."</a> In this course, Bishop Barron introduces the spiritual dynamics of Biblical exegesis in Origen and St. Augustine of Hippo. The Church Fathers did not separate Scripture and spirituality but saw the form of the spiritual life within the Scripture. As the key of the Scriptures, Christ is the key to the spiritual life. This course delves into the riches of how the Church reads Scripture, greatly inspired by the writings of Origen and St. Augustine.

A <a href= "https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/men-losing-close-friends-poll-163954930.html"> recent poll</a> from the Survey Center on American Life revealed that people are rapidly losing their close friends, especially men.
