It's a harsh truth: 31% of men at Sunday Mass lack a single close friend. Loneliness isn't just isolating; it's a health disaster, more lethal than alcoholism or smoking. Heroic Men is a movement on a mission to change this. We work to reconnect men with Christ, inspire authentic brotherhood, and bond around relentless spiritual growth. https://heroicmen.org&nbsp;This isn't just about friendships—it's about forging a community where men challenge, sharpen, and hold each other accountable. It's about becoming the best version of themselves and reshaping culture. This is a rallying cry for Catholic men to step up, embrace brotherhood, and transform lives, family, and culture together.

Major Evangelization Mistakes

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>

One Confession Changed Everything with Chris Mann

Jeff Joaquin’s journey is packed with hard-hitting truths and raw moments of transformation. From turning personal pain into purpose, to redefining weakness as true strength, he dives into the life-altering grip of addiction that started at age 9, nearly destroyed him by 21, and revealed his darkest battles with pornography and drugs. Smartphones become “original sin” devices, and he unveils three game-changing steps to fight addiction for good. Through painful revelations—including a haunting regret and a heart attack that pushed him to find faith—Jeff challenges men to take up the ultimate responsibility of fatherhood, confront the emptiness of workaholism, and reject the world’s lies. Finding forgiveness in confession, he calls men to live with authenticity, stand as “soldiers for Christ,” and embrace life’s highest calling. Inspired by the story of a martyr, he sends one final, powerful message: live for truth, no matter the cost.This talk was presented live at the morning convocation in October 2024. Jeff prays that his testimony shared with these young men helps them avoid the mistakes he made when he was growing up. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/jeffmjoaquin">Follow Jeff online </a>

Raising upright kids in an upside-down world with Dr. Ray

What if the path to heroism didn&rsquo;t start with strength&mdash;but with panic?&nbsp; In The Hero&rsquo;s Journey That Started with Anxiety, we follow Nick Pierlot, a Catholic husband, father, and missionary, as he walks us through his darkest hour: a breakdown on a spiritual pilgrimage. In the face of crippling panic attacks, emotional repression, and a crisis of identity, Nick uncovers an unexpected truth&mdash;heroism begins not with power, but with surrender. From battling inner dragons to chopping down literal god-trees, from failing forward to forming unshakable faith, this episode is a raw, honest deep dive into how God makes men heroic. It&rsquo;s not about being the hero&mdash;it&rsquo;s about letting God be one in you.

Heroic Leadership & Spiritual Multiplication with David Bereit

Much has been said today about the need for leaders to be strong.  But usually, the way we look at strength is in models that aren’t necessarily successful in every kind of struggle.  One hidden kind of strength is the strength that Our Lord and Saint Joseph showed us, resiliency.

DGT Episode 5 - Joseph The Resilient - St. Joseph Part 4

Emotions are your hidden superpower &mdash; but only if you know how to use them. In this eye-opening video, Marek Rudak, an executive coach with over 3,000 hours of experience at places like NASA and Fidelity, reveals how emotional intelligence (EQ) can transform your life.
Why do some leaders inspire results even without perfect technical skills? Why do some parents connect deeply with their kids, while others struggle? And why do smart people still make emotional mistakes that sabotage them? It all comes down to EQ &mdash; the ability to turn emotions from a liability into your greatest advantage.
You&rsquo;ll hear real stories, from overcoming toxic upbringings and divorce to becoming a better father, leader, and partner. Plus, discover the science behind how your brain processes emotion &mdash; and how mastering EQ can help you succeed at work, at home, and yes&hellip; even boost your income.

YouTube Strategist Dropping Knowledge | Evan Raugust | Episode #255

Andrew Laubacher, aka ALOB, was raised in Ventura, California, where he attended Mass, played many sports, hung out at the beach, and was always into music. He attended Catholic school before switching to a public school because he was “tired of the Catholic rules.” In high school, he fell away from his faith and lived the party lifestyle. After a serious wake-up call, he attended a Steubenville Youth Conference, where he found God. That changed his life.

ALOB - Party Rocker Baptized in the Holy Spirit | Andrew Laubacher | Episode #117

Men today are under siege. Our faith is mocked. Our masculinity is sidelined. Brotherhood fails around us. It’s a crisis like we’ve never seen before. How do we turn it around? | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https:/heroicmen.org/alliance">Join the Heroic Alliance | Learn more!</a>500 years before Christ, King Nebuchadnezzar, the greatest warrior-king of the Babylonian empire rounded up and targeted the best Hebrew young men. He brainwashed their religion out of them, stripped them of their Hebrew identity, and demanded that they abandon their God - or face death.Today, Big Tech and broken education are brainwashing our children. Our youth have been robbed of their Christian identity. We are being challenged to abandon God. In those days of Hebrew persecution, Daniel and three men of heroic virtue refused to back down. They set an example of unfailing heroism in the middle of a brutal culture siege.What kind of men are we today? Do we know how to step up and take a stand for our faith, our families, and our future?Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers challenges men to join him live for a half hour of powerful storytelling, practical wisdom, and a roadmap to build the habits of a Heroic Man."Knowing that other men share my experience in this siege against my faith, my family, and my brothers, is crucial. I can connect with other men. I'm not alone. This is why Heroic Men matters! Brotherhood makes you stronger!" - Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers

This week on a "Best Of" Living the Call, Deacon Charlie sits down with pro-life author and speaker Brett Attebery. After a powerful mid-life conversion to Christ that led him to seek healing for his role in the abortion of his own child, Brett left his career and devoted himself entirely to saving lives from abortion. Brett has an academic and professional background in economics and consumer product marketing.In this episode, Deacon talks with Brett about his cutting-edge approach to ending abortion, specifically by incorporating powerful business and marketing strategies into his work. He discusses the importance of investing heavily into healthcare efforts that will make abortion irrelevant to thriving, empowered, supported women.Brett’s website:&nbsp; <a href="https://brettattebery.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://brettattebery.com/</a>Brett’s Book: Your Pro-Life Bottom LineHeroic media website: <a href="https://heroicmedia.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://heroicmedia.org/</a>ThriVe website:&nbsp; <a href="https://thrivestlouis.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://thrivestlouis.org/</a>

Step up with Heroic Men to get this series into the hands of 25,000 men this 2025. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/give">https://heroicmen.org/give</a>Men: What if the world is wrong about masculinity? What if being a man is NOT about power, control, and getting what you want? Father Larry's bestseller book comes to you in an epic 12-part series—only on Heroic Men. God made you a man. And God doesn't make mistakes. This world is confused. It doesn’t know what a real man is anymore. A real man doesn’t live in isolation. He doesn’t sit around making excuses for his selfishness. He doesn’t let fear or pride control his life.Look at the Cross. The perfect man, Jesus Christ, was nailed to it. Not for Himself. Not for His comfort. But for YOU. That is what it means to be a man—to lay down your life for others, to surrender your ego, to stop living for yourself and start living for Christ.The question isn’t whether or not you want to be a man. The question is: will you become the man God made you to be?

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>

Just two months before he was sent to the Korean War, Father Emil Kapaun gave a series of reflections on the Beatitudes, which proved to be a foreshadowing of how he would pour out his own life for his men. In this series, you will have the opportunity to explore the Beatitudes one-by-one through the living example of men and women like you, as well as through Father Kapaun’s own example. The Beatitudes are guideposts on our journey towards our heavenly blessing! (9 Sessions) Please Note: This series is intended to follow after the Kapaun’s Men Virtue Series, which introduces you to the life and virtues of Servant of God Emil Kapaun.

Eucharistic Miracles with Angelo Libutti

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>

Archbishop Gomez Vs Wokeism

From politics to COVID, this past year has been filled with disagreement. That led Christian apologist Natasha Crain to write an article titled <a href= "https://natashacrain.com/disagreement-fatigue-and-2020-how-the-events-of-the-year-will-shape-christian-interactions-in-2021-and-beyond/"> "Disagreement Fatigue and 2020: How the Events of the Year Will Shape Christian Interactions in 2021 and Beyond."</a> Bishop Barron and Brandon discuss the article, focusing on three of Crain's predictions for 2021: more Christians will be hesitant to speak publicly about their faith, Christians will increasingly see apologetics as a contributor to (unhealthy) disagreement, and belief in a generic God will continue to be acceptable in culture, but belief in Jesus as God will become increasingly gauche. A listener asks, what form was Jesus in before the incarnation?

WOF 279: Overcoming Disagreement Fatigue

This episode is dedicated to Jerzy Rawicki, holocaust survivor and father of our guest, Andrew Rawicki. Andrew and his wife JoAnna have created a legacy of faith and love for their six children and ten grandchildren. After recounting his journey to the Church and his courtship with his wife, Andrew shares the harrowing tale of his father’s escape from the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII and the struggles, losses, and victory that ensued. After experiencing this episode, we encourage you to watch the online documentary <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9es0TQkj8s">Behind the Wall</a> about Jerzy’s escape. Andrew is a convert to the Catholic faith, entering the church in 1991. He then followed his wife, JoAnna, into Regnum Christi in 2001 after attending Encounters with Christ and Spiritual Exercises on the Northshore of New Orleans. Andrew and JoAnna retired to Dallas, Texas, in 2019, where they now live near four of their six children and eight of their ten grandchildren.<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>

ESCAPE FROM WARSAW, THE LEGACY AND VICTORY OF JERZY RAWICKI | Andrew Rawicki | Episode #125

What if being a hero wasn’t about being strong—but about being willing?Here’s how Sean Lynn went from chasing justice on the streets to confronting his own brokenness. After 33 years as a cop, he’d seen it all—addiction, violence, human trafficking. He was the guy who showed up, who took the hits, who delivered the worst news a parent could hear. But carrying that weight quietly almost crushed him.Everything shifted when Sean realized this wasn’t just a job—it was a vocation. A calling to serve not just with force, but with faith. That shift reframed every painful moment and revealed a God who was present in every scene, even the darkest ones.This is how Sean found peace—not by numbing out or powering through, but by connecting with other men, reclaiming quiet acts of heroism, and learning that God didn’t call him to be perfect. Just faithful.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>

Kory Koralewski didn’t grow up in the Catholic Church, but when he found it in his 20s, everything changed. It started with a simple invite—taking his future wife to Mass—and grew into something much deeper. When his marriage hit rough waters, it was Perpetual Adoration that anchored him.Kory’s not just talking about faith; he’s living it. He saw the power of community and prayer firsthand and rallied the men in his parish to commit to nightly adoration. His journey is proof that even in moments of despair, seeking God and leaning on brotherhood can turn things around.Kory’s message is clear: Don’t wait for the perfect moment to embrace your faith. Start now, and watch how God, community, and a commitment to prayer can transform your life.

10 combat tours. 4,000 soldiers brought home alive. One daughter&rsquo;s cry for help &mdash; and suddenly, the battlefield was home. In this gripping episode of Heroic Stories, former Army Special Forces officer Sean Berg opens up about the wars he fought overseas &mdash; and the one he never saw coming: watching his teenage daughter spiral into a mental health crisis that nearly took her life.

And what does it mean to live a life of purpose when your past identity no longer fits?
This is not just a story of survival &mdash; it&rsquo;s a story of surrender, redemption, and a father&rsquo;s decision to fight the right war. For every man who&rsquo;s ever felt broken, overwhelmed, or unsure how to lead &mdash; this conversation is a map home.

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.

This new documentary explores the life, legacy and impact of Father Michael McGivney, the founder of the Knights of Columbus and America's newest blessed.

Father Michael McGivney: An American Blessed

"How to Save a Life" is a powerful documentary that follows the journey of two young University of Tampa students faced with a life-altering decision after receiving a positive pregnancy test. While their friends and most of their family expected them to prioritize their future over the life of their unborn child, everything changed after they heard a speaker share his emotional story of lost fatherhood and the redemptive power of God&rsquo;s unconditional love and mercy.
Inspired by his testimony, they made the courageous decision to bring their daughter into the world. Their story is a message of hope for the Millennial &amp; Gen Z generations&mdash;one that speaks to faith, sacrifice, and the beauty of choosing life.

Heroic Stories - Full Video Episodes

Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR, and Deacon Bob Rice are friends who see humor and hope in a crazy world. Whether they are talking about sports, movies, politics, the Church, or their own lives, Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob try to find Christ in all things, even in the messiness of today’s culture. “They that hope in the Lord will renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31). Come be refreshed and renewed!

They That Hope

What if everything you thought made you strong—your beliefs, your community, even your identity—suddenly became the very things holding you back? Dominic lived that question when choosing love meant losing his tribe, his home, and the only version of faith he had ever known. What followed was a decade-long deconstruction and reconstruction—through trauma, spiritual exile, and radical courage.This conversation pulls back the curtain on one man’s darkest moment and the quiet grit that carried him through. From sleeping on chapel floors to leading a movement of Catholic men toward healing and brotherhood, Dominic’s story is raw, real, and relentlessly human. If you’ve ever wrestled with who you are, what you believe, or how to keep going when everything falls apart, this episode offers a glimpse into the kind of heroism that doesn’t come with applause—but might just change your life.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.

The Untold Story of a Man Who Left Everything Behind with Dominic de Souza

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.

Heroic Discipleship Summit: Fr. Michael Nixon

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.

Debating Atheists, Priestly Celibacy, and More (William Lane Craig) | Ep. 189

In this episode, we hear the vocation story of Fr. Angelus Montgomery, CFR, how he and his brother (Fr. Innocent) were led to the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, and the work they do to help brothers discern God's voice leading them. We learn about the founding of this community by Fr. Benedict Groeschel and Fr. Andrew Apostoli, about the life and spirituality of St. Francis of Assisi, and about the call to perfect charity, which is holiness.Fr. Angelus Montgomery, CFR, a Loras College alumnus (’07) and dynamic preacher, speaker and EWTN show co-host. Fr. Angelus began to sense the call to priesthood in his junior year of college and eventually felt attracted to the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, a religious order founded by the late Fr. Benedict Groeschel, CFR. After entering the community and given his new name in religious life, now Fr. Angelus was ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York in May 2018.Fr. Angelus and his brother have reached out to millennials through their “Icons Spotlight” television program on EWTN and the internet, and a radio show, “Icons Impact” which airs in New Jersey and other states. Together with a Franciscan confrere, they began co-hosting EWTN’s “Sunday Night Prime” this past year, succeeding Fr.

How to be Perfect as the Heavenly Father is Perfect w/ Fr. Angelus Montgomery, CFR

"The breath of the Almighty gives me life." - Job 33:4 | The only way we are able to live a life of faith, a life full of love, peace, joy, and power is by the Holy Spirit. We see this most clearly in the lives of the Apostles. They had every advantage in being with Jesus and hearing him preach and seeing the many miracles that he had done, and yet, even with that advantage, they were frightened men living their faith life in a locked room before they received the Holy Spirit. What took place in the upper room changed the lives of these men and women and would change the course of human history. This experience of the Holy Spirit is an encounter available to everyone; it is not reserved for a select few. Pentecost and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit is the theme of this segment.<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&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>

Air Quotes

Jesus calls us to be perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect.  This "perfection in Christ" that we seek in faith must integrate the spiritual and temporal dimensions of the human person.  Deacon Harold looks into how we can find God in jobs and in the Soulful Psalms we look at Psalm 15

Finding God in the Workplace

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.

Fr. John Hopkins | Sacrifice vs Indifference

Imagine starting something that no one believes in. That’s exactly what happened when Andre Regnier founded CCO in 1988. Evangelization wasn’t just uncommon in Catholic circles back then—it was almost a dirty word. But he and his wife pushed forward, convinced that God was calling them to bring young people back to the Church. In this conversation, Andre shares the struggles, the doubts, and the moments that almost made him quit. So how did he keep going? Two things: prayer and perseverance. He describes how his personal prayer life sustained him, how he learned to talk to God like a friend over coffee, and why prayer isn’t just about checking off a list—it’s about real relationship. He also shares the exact steps he teaches young people today to build a meaningful daily prayer life. If you've ever felt disconnected from prayer, if you've wondered how to hear God speak, or if you've needed encouragement to stay strong in your faith, this episode is for you. Plus, Andre introduces a simple prayer guide that could transform your own spiritual life.

Andre Regnier on Wrestling with Faith: How Prayer Transforms Everything

Heroism isn’t born—it’s made. And sometimes, it’s forged in the darkest of moments.

A Tear-Filled Catholic Testimony about Fathers, Sons, Sinners, and Saints

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John and Sam are joined by Dr. Scott Hahn to discuss the moral decay and decline of right order in society. We get into how separation of church and state is not of divine origin and how an inability to admit this creates a false reality that leads to injustice towards God. Let us all take on the responsibility to bring God's natural and divine law to renew the mind of society. In this episode we discuss;<ul>
<li>What are the Root Causes of the Crisis Society is in</li>
<li>How College Students Today are Unprepared to Think</li>
<li>How the Renewal of the Mind is Needed Today More Than Ever</li>

Is Separation Of Church And State A Good Thing? (w/ Dr. Scott Hahn)

"At the center of the Church is the Eucharist, where Christ is present and active in humanity and in the whole world by means of the Holy Spirit." - Pope St. John Paul IIThe Eucharistic liturgy is saturated with the presence of the Holy Spirit. From the moment you decide to go to Mass the Holy Spirit is active and alive. Sadly, many people don't experience the Holy Spirit, and attending Mass becomes a chore for them rather than a life giving encounter with Jesus. In this segment we will look at a few of the many ways that the Holy Spirit is present in the Mass that will enable you to encounter God when you attend the Liturgy.<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&nbsp;</a>

He opens up about his personal struggles—overcoming pornography, protecting his family from real threats, and deepening his connection with God through daily prayer.

He reminds us that no matter what we face, nothing can strip away our love for the Lord. This is more than a testimony; it’s a call to prioritize what truly matters and fight for a life rooted in faith.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.

Family, Fight Club, & Faith: Matt Aujero's Testimony

St. Luke's telling of the Christmas story, which is read at Midnight Masses all over the Catholic world, commences by invoking the first-century's most powerful man: "In those days Caesar Augustus published a decree ordering a census of the whole world." Then the story continues by introducing a new King, one born in straw poverty, wrapped in swaddling clothes and placed in a feeding trough. This is the poetry by which God enters into our world, not as a tyrant surrounded by powers of earthly violence but as a fragile baby surrounded by an army of heavenly angels set to usher him to the cross. Today's episode of the Word on Fire Show discusses this subversive Christmas tale and encourages us to consider which king we choose to follow. The listener question asks about the relationship between mind, body, and spirit.

WOF 054: The Subversive Baby King

Two young saints, one who loved mountaineering and the other rocked Nike sneakers: Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati prove holiness doesn’t mean leaving normal life behind—it means living it to the fullest with Christ. 

Father Dave and Deacon Bob reflect on Pope Leo’s homily at the canonization Mass for these two young Italians and explore why so many saints begin saying yes to God in their youth. 
True to They That Hope form, they take a lap through the weekend in sports, from NFL openers to U.S. Open storylines to the eternal LeBron vs. Jordan debate. Then they settle into the title’s theme: modern sanctity. Carlo’s wisdom (“In front of the sun you get a tan; in front of the Eucharist, you become a saint”) and Frassati’s cry “to the heights!” frame a simple invitation: say yes to the Lord today. 
They close with campus updates, a prayer, and a warm invitation to share your favorite podcast memories. Saints Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati, pray for us!

WOF 312: Understanding Genesis: Abraham and Isaac

Deacon Craig Anderson discusses “We are Deacons: Our Important Role in the Church”. Deacon Craig will be speaking in depth about the integral role that deacons play, and how it has changed and matured over time.  

ABOUT DEACON 

Deacon Craig Anderson was ordained in February 2011 for the Byzantine Catholic Eparchy (Diocese) of Phoenix,  which serves the 13 western states, and is part of the Byzantine Catholic Church in America, an Eastern Catholic Church in full communion with the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church. 

He retired after a career in the Fire service, working as a Fire investigator and fire prevention officer for a northern California Fire Dept. Before that he worked as a Roman Catholic lay minister and high school teacher. He has a Master of Arts degree in Theology and Ministry from Franciscan University of Steubenville, where he met his wife MaryTherese. 

They have five adult children and eight grandchildren. Deacon Craig has been involved in ministry to men for most of his life (and previously served on the Board for Catholic Men's Fellowship of California). He and his wife recently relocated to Fort Worth, Texas.

We Are Deacons: Our Important Role in the Church

After serving as a United States Navy SEAL, Conor Donahue continues to apply his unique blend of faith, fortitude, and focus to serve in his roles as a husband, father, parish leader, and business owner. Conor grew up in northern Virginia with a strong faith foundation. He shares his fascinating journey to join the Navy SEALS by taking us back through his childhood and early teen years. Conor had moments and mentors that caused him to see a clear pathway for his life and to go “all in”. During his nine years of active duty, Conor’s dating life turned into an engagement, marriage, and parenthood. He shares his appreciation for the support that service members receive while also acknowledging the silent sacrifice that military families endure behind the scenes. Conor closes the show by sharing his view of marriage and fatherhood by comparing the guardian role of a man to that of a sheepdog. Show segments: On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a constant complainer to address the prompt, “Youth ministers love talking about ______.” TBD Question of the Day – What title would you use if there was a book about your life?

NAVY SEAL Anointed and Sealed in the Holy Spirit | Conor Donahue | Episode #127

John Heinen, Devin Schadt, and Sam Guzman meet to discuss the confusing and often controversial topic of working on Sundays. We are called to abstain from work on Sundays, and indeed it can be sinful to engage in unnecessary labor. Yet we face the challenge of discerning what constitutes work, how we as men living for God can fulfill this precept, and what we should avoid to ensure our Sundays remain holy.

Can I Mow on Sundays?

Do you believe in miracles? Dr. Robert Collins joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for miracle stories found at the intersection of prayer and medicine. Dr. Robert experienced the power of prayer when his son had major surgery on a tumor that was on his spine. Inspired and supported by past patients and faithful friends, Dr. Collins and his wife felt a cloud of prayers as they waited through their son’s procedure.

Medical Miracles | Dr. Robert Collins | Episode #200

As 2020 winds to a close, Bishop Barron reflects back on his five most popular YouTube videos of the decade. He and Brandon Vogt discuss why these videos, in particular, resonated with so many people. A listener asks, if Jesus already did what he came to do, and Satan realized he was beat, why wasn't that the end of the story? What are we still doing here?

WOF 265: Bishop Barron's Top 5 YouTube Videos of the Decade

The uncommon courage of ordinary men who lived with fire in their souls.
In an age when manhood is under siege, these four saints stand like watchmen on the wall&mdash;men forged in the furnace of history, defiant in the face of tyranny, and unwavering in their devotion to truth. 4 Modern Saints for Men is a gripping, soul-stirring mini-series that reveals how St. Thomas More, St. John Henry Newman, Blessed Jerzy Popiełuszko, and Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky each became heroic witnesses to Christ in a hostile world.
🔹 Thomas More, the lion-hearted lawyer who chose a martyr&rsquo;s crown over political compromise. 🔹 John Henry Newman, the intellectual warrior who traded worldly accolades for the radical fidelity of faith. 🔹 Jerzy Popiełuszko, the priest who challenged communism with a microphone and a rosary. 🔹 Vasyl Velychkovsky, the bishop who risked everything to shepherd an underground Church through Soviet terror.
Each episode reveals how these men embraced sacrifice, led with conviction, and became beacons of courage for today&rsquo;s Catholic man. This isn&rsquo;t just history&mdash;it&rsquo;s a manual for spiritual battle. Because in every generation, God raises up men who refuse to bow.

Handling Gay Pride and Speaking with Friends w/ Jason Evert

We&rsquo;re on pilgrimage in Poland, walking where saints once walked. In this episode, Fr. Ian Hollick joins us on the road&mdash;from the mountains of Zakopane to the silence of Auschwitz&mdash;reflecting on the deep connection between suffering and beauty.
We hear about John Paul II&rsquo;s childhood, his family&rsquo;s quiet faith, and the early losses that shaped a future saint. We pray the Litany of Trust right from the tour bus. We talk indulgences, hope, and how God takes even the darkest notes and turns them into music.

Save the Family, Save the World with Deacon Jeff Drzycimsky (+ Slides)

We all know that leaders need to be strong and bold and brave.  We all know that a group’s success will depend in large proportion on the success of it’s leadership.  But what happens when leaders aren’t successful?  Have there ever been saints that showed us the other side of failure?  What can we learn from the stories of leaders, even Saints, who may have come up short from time to time.  Join me in my first part of the series, “Where Leaders Fail.”
