Love is not simply something God does. Love is what He is. In this chapter you will explore how Jesus’ ministry reveals this truth, and why some of the most common misconceptions about God are wrong.In this episode you will learn that ...■ Jesus’ revelation of agapē love as the summation of all the Law is also a revelation of the heart and core identity of God.■ To live out agapē love is to imitate God Himself.■ The most detailed illustration of God’s unconditionally loving nature might be found in Jesus’ Parable of the Prodigal Son.■ Though God’s love is extended to us unconditionally, we must want it enough to accept it, enter into it, and make it our own.■ Jesus illustrated how God’s unconditional love extends to everyone by seeking out the poor, the sick, and sinners.■ False conceptions of God are dangerous because they close us off to Him just when we need to reach out to Him the most.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

Episode 12: Jesus Reveals God as Unconditional Love

Discover

This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Humanae Vitae, the controversial encyclical by Pope Paul VI which defended the classic sexual framework and prophesied the devastating consequences that would result upon its rejection. As Bishop Barron reveals, those prophecies have since been strongly vindicated. A listener asks whether God hates anything since he is defined by love.

WOF 111: Sex, Babies, and a Prophetic Pope

Fatherhood changes a man. For record-setting runner and Catholic convert Alan Webb, raising daughters forced a deeper question: What does it actually mean to be a man? Webb talks about masculine leadership, marriage, athletic discipline, conversion, miscarriage, confession, and the responsibility every father carries to show his children what faith looks like under pressure. His answer is demanding: a man needs to know who he is leading, where he is leading them, and whether his own life can survive being copied by his children.
What You&rsquo;ll Learn
✅ Why fatherhood strengthened Webb&rsquo;s masculinity ✅ How miscarriage deepened his Catholic faith ✅ Why athletic discipline needs a spiritual destination ✅ What Catholic leadership looks like inside a family

What Fatherhood Teaches Men About Strength & Leadership - Alan Webb

In this episode, we hear from Catholic convert, priest, author and blogger Fr. Dwight Longenecker. We hear about his journey from an Evangelical Protestant to Anglican priest to the Catholic Church and Catholic priesthood. We learn about Fr. Longenecker's love for literature and for writing, and in particular his books commenting on our current secular age riddled with atheism and materialism. We also hear about how St. John Paul II understood the false ideas that underlie our current cultural crisis and how he sought to correct them.-- About Fr. Dwight Longenecker "I was brought up in an Evangelical home in Pennsylvania. After graduating from the fundamentalist Bob Jones University with a degree in Speech and English, I went to study theology at Oxford University. Eventually I was  ordained as an Anglican priest and served as a curate, a school chaplain in Cambridge and a country parson on the Isle of Wight.""Realizing that the Anglican Church and I were on divergent paths, in 1995 I and my family were received into the Catholic Church. For ten years we continued to live in England where I worked as a freelance writer and charity worker. Then in 2006 the door opened to return to the USA and be ordained as a Catholic priest.""I now serve as Pastor of Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Greenville, South Carolina." -- Visit Fr. Longenecker's website: <a href="https://dwightlongenecker.com/">https://dwightlongenecker.com/</a> Fr. Longenecker's new book, Beheading Hydra: A Radical Plan for Christians in an Atheistic Age, is available for purchase at his <a href="https://dwightlongenecker.com/shop/">online bookstore</a>.-- Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David Hajduk, Ph.D.Visit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

Understanding Our Secular Age w/ Fr. Dwight Longenecker

On May 8, 2025, the college of cardinals stunned the world by electing Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, a native of the South Side of Chicago, as our new pope. What kind of papacy should we expect from this American pope? How should we interpret his papal name, Leo XIV, and his background as the former head of the Augustinian religious order? Are there any early signs of what his priorities will be? And how should we think about him in relation to his predecessors, including Pope Francis?

<h3><a href="http://Exodus90.com/tcms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What's your holy hour look like? </a></h3>
<div></div>
<div>There's a common thread among thousands of formerly sinful people we now call Saints.

They had a relationship with God.

Which then inspired them to 'set the world on fire' as Catherine of Sienna put it.

But, more specifically, it meant they put in the time.

They sat with the Lord. Spoke with Him. Listened to Him.

Daily.

They unveiled their hearts and wounds and problems to Him.

They offered him thanks and gratitude.

They left their sufferings with Him on the altar.

They begged for His help.

My question to you: are you putting in the time?

I'm not talking about time to just talk at Him or sit in church making a mental grocery list. I'm talking about time to build a consistent, honest relationship. Time to speak, and time to listen.

Whether you want to pray a daily holy hour or hit up adoration once a week, I have a guide here from the makers of Exodus 90 specifically about praying a Holy Hour.

Inside, you’ll find a simple breakdown that shows you how to structure your time with the Lord.

The narrative that science and Christianity are enemies is false. Not only are they not enemies but Christianity helped science develop beyond the limits imposed on it by ancient cosmologies. In this sample lesson from her Word on Fire Institute course titled "Science for Evangelists," Dr. Trasancos introduces us to the basics of science and why there is no real conflict between science and Christianity.

WOF 076: Caesar, the Dude, and a Serious Man

Without a doubt something that all leaders have in common is that we are men and women of action.  Practically oriented, skilled in social settings, leaders tend to rise to the top because they engage their talents in their situations to make a difference.  They are men and women of action.  Does the Christian faith have room for them and do they have room in their hearts for Christianity?  What about contemplation, receptivity, submission to God?  In this second part of our series on applying the gospel we explore these actions and more.

Interview with Comedian Jeremy McLellan

Your family is a battlefield, and Dr. Dan Schneider argues that Catholic fathers have been given a serious responsibility: provide, protect, pray, and lead. In this conversation with Tom Hornacek and Dean Patterson, Schneider explains spiritual authority in the family, the power of a father&rsquo;s blessing, how temptation exploits small compromises, why discipline matters, and how division between husband and wife can leave children vulnerable. He also explores confession, forgiveness, spiritual combat, Catholic masculinity, and why the renewal of Catholic culture begins inside the family.

This year the celebration is set to be entirely online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This will be the second year the festival has been virtual.“This year will be my first Ardbeg Day ever:&nbsp;a baptism of fire! It’s a shame we Ardbeggians can’t enjoy it together in person, but the&nbsp;online event is shaping up to be tremendous fun,” Ardbeg’s Distillery Manager Colin Gordon said. “With a whole virtual world to explore,&nbsp;including fantasy inns, campfire tales, medieval feasts and live tastings, there’s plenty for&nbsp;people to be excited about this year.”The Committee Release of Ardbeg Scorch will be available to buy from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ardbeg.com/en-US/about-ardbeg/embassies" target="_blank">Ardbeg Embassies</a>, whisky specialists, online retailers and from the Distillery Visitor Center on May 1 for $139. The General Release will be available on June 1 at a price point of around $120. Official tasting notes can be found below.<ul><li>Color –&nbsp;Bright brushed gold</li><li>Nose –&nbsp;On the nose, frighteningly intense aromas of soot and smoke lie in wait. Hints of aniseed and fragrant patchouli interlace with bold notes of quenched steel and saddle soap. With a drop of water, herbal top notes of briarwood, sage and pine wisp their way to the fore.</li><li>Taste –&nbsp;Take a sip and experience layer upon layer of flavor. An oily mouthfeel grips the senses. Billowy clouds of sweet smoke and dragon charred oak permeate the palate, while grilled fare and black licorice weave between notes of medicinal lozenge.</li><li>Finish –&nbsp;A long and heroic finale, with a subtle tarry aftertaste. A finish that will drag on, well into its happily ever after.</li></ul> About our gear:N/AAbout the Topic:Our good friend, <a href="https://www.chroniclesofstrength.com/" target="_blank">Pat Flynn</a>, joins us to talk about the problem of evil, PSR, and the cosmological argument.The problem of evil is one of the strongest arguments against the existence of God. But the problem of evil is only a problem if the principle of sufficient reason is true because the problem of evil claims that evil doesn’t make sense – namely, is inexplicable (brute!) – given the existence of God. So, if the problem of evil is to be posed as a problem then the PSR is assumed and gives us the existence of God, from which we can infer evil has an explanation even if we cannot see what that explanation is, and so the PoE is dissolved.Check out our limited release episode with Pat Flynn for our patrons on Fitness and Virtue:https://thecatholicmanshow.com/captivate-podcast/fitness-and-virtue-with-pat-flynn/Here's another episode we did with Pat:https://thecatholicmanshow.com/captivate-podcast/virtues-and-vices-of-fitness-with-pat-flynn/&nbsp; The Catholic Woodworker:Check out The Catholic Woodworker’s&nbsp;<a href="https://catholicwoodworker.com/collections/home-altars" target="_blank">home altars</a>.

On Detachment

To find oneself in a life crisis is not necessarily a bad thing. Questioning God's will for your life is a daily activity to grow in humility as well as provide further clarity and conviction for your actions. However, most people turn inwards and become bitter and frustrated by the challenge. Today's guest discusses how his life as a professional actor turned tough, and how he found a way out to better glorify God.

The Sacramental Life w/ Dr. Scott Hahn

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

The journey continues as John and Victor dive deeper into the 7 Deadly Sins. This week's focus is Lust, the "disordered desire for or inordinate enjoyment of sexual pleasure" (Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC], paragraph 2351). According to Archbishop Fulton Sheen, the key word is inordinate. God Himself associated pleasure with the flesh. Pleasure becomes sinful when we use it as a means instead of an end. Lust distorts the gift of sexuality and causes us to gaze only upon ourselves and our desires. What is the remedy? "The only real escape from the demands of the flesh is to find something more than the flesh to love" (Archbishop Fulton Sheen).  

Scripture passages to pray with:
-Matthew 5:28
-1 Thessalonians 4:3-5
-Romans 8:6 
-Psalm 51:10-12

In this episode: 
-Lust is selfish or perverted love 
-Acknowledging the gift of our sexuality 
-Chastity,"the successful integration of sexuality within the person" (CCC 2337), is the virtue that combats lust
-There is hope! Call on Jesus and His Mother, turn your gaze from yourself to the ones you love, & view temptation as an opportunity to choose the good

Thank you to Mr. Taylor Barranco for the drink. Fireside Whiskey is a 4 year aged Straight Bourbon that is a nice bourbon to have in your cabinet. It is dangerously smooth but still maintains all of the robust flavor gained from aging for more than 4 years in brand new white oak barrels. A nice end of summer dram.

<h2>About our topic:</h2>
<h3 class="p1">WHETHER VENGEANCE IS LAWFUL?</h3>
 I answer that, Vengeance consists in the infliction of a penal evil on one who has sinned. Accordingly, in the matter of vengeance, we must consider the mind of the avenger. For if his intention is directed chiefly to the evil of the person on whom he takes vengeance, and rests there, then his vengeance is altogether unlawful: because to take pleasure in another’s evil belongs to hatred, which is contrary to the charity whereby we are bound to love all men. Nor is it an excuse that he intends the evil of one who has unjustly inflicted evil on him, as neither is a man excused for hating one that hates him: for a man may not sin against another just because the latter has already sinned against him, since this is to be overcome by evil, which was forbidden by the Apostle, who says (<a href="https://biblia.com/reference/Ro12.21?resourceName=summaeng">Rom. [12:21]</a>): Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil by good.
If, however, the avenger’s intention be directed chiefly to some good, to be obtained by means of the punishment of the person who has sinned (for instance that the sinner may amend, or at least that he may be restrained and others be not disturbed, that justice may be upheld, and God honoured), then vengeance may be lawful, provided other due circumstances be observed. 
<h3 class="p1">WHETHER VENGEANCE IS A SPECIAL VIRTUE?</h3>
I answer that, As the Philosopher states (Ethic. ii. 1), aptitude to virtue is in us by nature, but the complement of virtue is in us through habituation or some other cause. Hence it is evident that virtues perfect us so that we follow in due manner our natural inclinations, which belong to the natural right. Wherefore to every definite natural inclination there corresponds a special virtue. Now there is a special inclination of nature to remove harm, for which reason animals have the irascible power distinct from the concupiscible. Man resists harm by defending himself against wrongs, lest they be inflicted on him, or he avenges those which have already been inflicted on him, with the intention, not of harming, but of removing the harm done. And this belongs to vengeance, for Tully says (loc. cit.) that by vengeance we resist force, or wrong, and in general whatever is obscure<a href="https://biblia.com/books/vulgataclem/Ge">*</a> (i.e. derogatory), either by self-defense or by avenging it. Therefore vengeance is a special virtue.
<h3 class="p1">WHETHER VENGEANCE SHOULD BE WROUGHT BY MEANS OF PUNISHMENTS CUSTOMARY AMONG MEN? </h3>
I answer that, Vengeance is lawful and virtuous so far as it tends to the prevention of evil. Now some who are not influenced by motive of virtue are prevented from committing sin, through fear of losing those things which they love more than those they obtain by sinning, else fear would be no restraint to sin. Consequently vengeance for sin should be taken by depriving a man of what he loves most. Now the things which man loves most are life, bodily safety, his own freedom, and external goods such as riches, his country and his good name. Wherefore, according to Augustine’s reckoning (<a href="https://biblia.com/reference/Augustine.De_civ._Dei_21?resourceName=summaeng">De Civ. Dei xxi</a>.), Tully writes that the laws recognize eight kinds of punishment: namely, death, whereby man is deprived of life; stripes, retaliation, or the loss of eye for eye, whereby man forfeits his bodily safety; slavery, and imprisonment, whereby he is deprived of freedom; exile, whereby he is banished from his country; fines, whereby he is mulcted in his riches; ignominy, whereby he loses his good name.
<h3 class="p1">4 sins that cry to Heaven for Vengeance</h3>
1.       Murder – “the blood of able”
2.      Sodomy – “the sins of the Sodomites”
3.       Oppression of the poor – “cry of the people oppressed in Egypt”
4.      Injustice to the wage earner – not paying wages owed
a. Dt [24:14]-15 &#8211; 14 You shall not withhold the wages of poor and needy laborers, whether other Israelites or aliens who reside in your land in one of your towns. 15 You shall pay them their wages daily before sunset, because they are poor and their livelihood depends on them; otherwise they might cry to the Lord against you, and you would incur guilt.

The Virtue of Vengeance

Friends, can everything in the world be reduced to atoms bumping against each other, and chemical reactions in our brains? Or is there something more to reality than its material elements? That's what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today's "Word on Fire Show" episode, with the help of a new book by Justin Brierley, titled <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Surprising-Rebirth-Belief-God-Christianity/dp/1496466772/?tag=woonfi-20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "The Surprising Rebirth of Belief In God: Why New Atheism Grew Old and Secular Thinkers Are Considering Christianity Again - opens in new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">The Surprising Rebirth of Belief In God: Why New Atheism Grew Old and Secular Thinkers Are Considering Christianity Again</a>.

GODSPLAINING: The Catholic Man Show on Living Your Faith

Prayer to St. Joseph:
"Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.
"Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life. Obtain for us grace, mercy, and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen."
 
The Mass reading from today that I referenced is from the <a href="https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading">Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 11</a>

What if your biggest spiritual problem isn&rsquo;t sin&mdash;but pride? In &ldquo;Repentance,&rdquo; Chapter Three of the series, we&rsquo;re confronted with the brutal truth: men love to be in control, and sin is just doing it our way instead of God&rsquo;s. But this chapter is more than just a guilt trip. It&rsquo;s a roadmap for spiritual victory. We don&rsquo;t repent to earn God&rsquo;s love&mdash;we repent because we&rsquo;re already loved, and we&rsquo;re finally ready to trust Him. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

With a little time in the glass sitting idle (just a few minutes) the bouquet really opens up to it's full potential<h2>The Name</h2>Where did “Yippee Ki-Yay” come from? Is it a real expression of joy popular with cowboys in the 19th century Western United States? Is it part of the greatest one liner in movie history? Was it influenced by the phrase ‘Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay’ from the 1936 hit song “I’m an Old Cow Hand from the Rio Grande” about a 20th-century cowboy who has little in common with cowpunchers of old and sung by Bing Crosby in the film “Rhythm on the Range” (also sung later by Roy Rogers and Frank Sinatra) and considered one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time? We’re not sure. But we are sure we like how we feel when we say it... and recommend you use it every chance you get.<h2>Back Label Story</h2>We confess...we didn’t coin the term “Yippee Ki-Yay”. Moreover, we didn’t paint the picture on the front label. It’s an historic poster (Gift of The Coe Foundation and Henry B. Balink) now at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming (centerofthewest.org, you really ought to visit). Furthermore, we didn’t distill the whiskeys in this bottle - it’s our Double Rye! However, we did come up with a combination that we think will make you say...Yippee Ki-Yay drinkers of horrible tasting cheap flavored uisge beatha! One day, just for fun, we put Double Rye! into oak barrels that had originally been used to age two different types of wine and discovered an all-natural, not disgustingly-sweet sipper for the rest of us.<h2>About the gear: N/A</h2><h2>About our topic: Being a Catholic Man</h2>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIvpYzboddY&amp;w=560&amp;h=315]If this is your first time listening to The Catholic Man Show, we do 3 things almost every episode:TIME CODES:1.)

The Question

What does it feel like when the eyes of the world turn to the Sistine Chapel, as everyone waits for white smoke? In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob explore the sacred mystery—and human drama—of a papal conclave. But first: baseball, astronauts, Marvel movies, and pierogies. 
 Father Dave shares a powerful conversation with retired astronaut and U.S. Air Force General Kevin P. Chilton, who received the Eucharist in space. The hosts also discuss the lesser-known fact that Buzz Aldrin took communion on the moon, blending space exploration with sacred devotion. 
 Meanwhile, Deacon Bob reflects on being left out of both that interview and a May the 4th Star Wars-themed baseball game (yes, stormtroopers and all), and offers a spoiler-free review of Marvel’s new film Thunderbolts. 
 The hosts unpack the process of the papal conclave, exploring how the Holy Spirit leads (without micromanaging) the selection of a pope. They also respond to the controversial AI-generated image of Donald Trump dressed as pope—shared by official White House social media—and call for reverence during this pivotal moment in Church history.
As always, the episode blends solemnity with laughter—from memories of first Communions and unforgettable Masses to hot takes on sports, politics, and pilgrimage.

Faith is a Gift

Draw out the beauty in the ordinary with Coronation Media’s Co-Founder and Executive Producer, Bill Phillips.Bill left his Gettysburg address to join The BeatiDudes, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein, at the Tiny Table in Vatican Valley. He recalls his journey, including the major life events that were put into motion during his time at Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Maryland, where he studied Theology and Psychology with a minor in fine arts. Although he did not choose the college for religious reasons, Bill began to deepen his commitment to his faith during his time there. Through his roommate, Gary Gasse, the other Co-Founder of Coronation Media, Bill’s faith was also strengthened, preparing him for the struggles and the joys that would come during those years. After Bill’s mother was diagnosed with cancer during his undergrad time, he began an intellectual conversion of faith by joining RCIA and reading the Catechism from cover to cover. At the end of his time at Mount St. Mary’s, Bill found his faith, his career, and his wife.The episode has a surprise ending where each of The BeatiDudes is given one shot to get hired by Bill after pitching new cartoon ideas.

Crown the Good with Coronation Media | Bill Phillips | Episode #209

Depression and anxiety have exploded in the past decade in the United States, especially, though not exclusively, among young people. Tragically, anxiety and depression frequently contribute to suicide and suicide attempts, with young men in particular taking much of the brunt of this epidemic of self-harm. Many suffer in silence, with neither family members nor friends aware of their mental, spiritual, and sometimes even physical anguish. What can we do to reintroduce hope, purpose, peace, and perhaps even joy into the lives of those who are feeling lost? What can both Catholic belief and practice offer in particular?

WOF 477: 5 Ways Faith Can Free You from Anxiety & Depression

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-meekness-against-wrath/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Meekness go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a>

True Beauty: In this episode, we hear the story of Leah Darrow - a former reality TV model turned international Catholic speaker, life-coach, author, and podcaster. We discuss True Beauty and how the very notion of beauty has become distorted in our culture. We also discuss Leah’s work to help women reach their God-given potential through her initiatives Lux University and Power Made Perfect. -- About Leah DarrowLeah Darrow is an international Catholic speaker that dares her audience to live a life according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Before her debut on the reality TV show, America’s Next Top Model, and the subsequent years as a professional model in New York City, Leah earned a Bachelors in psychology from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. She is currently working towards her Masters in Theology at the Augustine Institute. Leah and her husband Rick Soldinie, live in St. Louis, welcomed their 1st child in August 2013 and rarely sleep anymore. Leah has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs regarding topics of faith and culture. She also addressed a United Nations panel discussion on behalf of international youth in July of 2011. Most recently overseas, Leah rallied an audience of 15,000 youth at the World Trade Center in Manila during her Real Love Revolution tour in the Philippines, and then here at home gave the keynote address for over 7,000 college students at the national FOCUS conference, SEEK2013 held in Walt Disney World. Leah speaks to people of all ages on topics of mercy, conversion, human dignity, modesty, and chastity. Leah is particularly inspired to share these ideas in light of Blessed John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, and do her small part in the call for a New Evangelization. -- Resources from Leah Darrow <a href="https://www.leahdarrow.com/powermadeperfect">https://www.leahdarrow.com/powermadeperfect</a> <a href="https://www.theluxuniversity.com/?r_done=1">https://www.theluxuniversity.com/?r_done=1</a> -- Check out this article!: <a href="https://stjosephshelf.com/reclaiming-halloween-as-a-catholic-celebration/">Reclaiming Halloween as a Catholic Celebration</a>-- Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David HajdukVisit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

WOF 128: Kids Q&A with Bishop Barron

Today we share the second half of Bishop Baron's talk titled "Knocking Holes in the Buffered Self: Approaches to the Question of God." (<a href= "https://www.wordonfireshow.com/episode274/">Click here to listen to the first half.</a>) He gave the talk at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary as part of their Kenrick Lecture series. Many—especially the young—in today's time have absented themselves from the practice of faith. Our culture and time is anomalous in the extreme, in that it's the first ever to widely entertain God's nonexistence. Christians, at least in the West, are facing a practically unprecedented crisis of disaffiliation. But there are paths out of the cave, and that's what Bishop Barron reveals.

WOF 276: Approaches to the Question of God (Part 2 of 2)

Keith Nester spent more than two decades as a Protestant pastor. Preaching, leading, counseling, and absolutely certain he would never become Catholic. Yet his actual conversion story is long, often humorous, at times painful, and far deeper than a simple change of denomination. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt sit down with​ ⁨<a href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCCIcOC_ats_S_qCAnvwzunw"> @KeithNester </a> to uncover what really happened behind the scenes: the fears he carried, the pride he had to confront, the moments of grace that broke him open, and the unexpected ways God used marriage, suffering, and friendship to draw him home.

But this isn’t just a conversion story, the show quickly turns to truths every man needs to hear. Truths about how to lead, love, and live the faith with integrity. Keith shares the “hard truth” he believes all men must face: that authority without humility collapses, that evangelization begins long before words are spoken, but we still must speak, and that the quiet witness of fatherhood, sacrifice, and joy can transform more hearts than arguments ever will.

There’s a common thread among thousands of formerly sinful people we now call Saints.

They had a relationship with God.

Which then inspired them to ‘set the world on fire’ as Catherine of Sienna put it.

But, more specifically, it meant they put in the time.

They sat with the Lord. Spoke with Him. Listened to Him.

Daily.

They unveiled their hearts and wounds and problems to Him.

They offered him thanks and gratitude.

They left their sufferings with Him on the altar.

They begged for His help.

My question to you: are you putting in the time?

I’m not talking about time to just talk at Him or sit in church making a mental grocery list. I’m talking about time to build a consistent, honest relationship. Time to speak, and time to listen.

Whether you want to pray a daily holy hour or hit up adoration once a week, I have a guide here from the makers of Exodus 90 specifically about praying a Holy Hour.

Inside, you’ll find a simple breakdown that shows you how to structure your time with the Lord.

WOF 030: Listener Q&A w/ Bishop Barron

Every man wants justice when he has been betrayed, humiliated, wounded, or cheated. But what happens when the demand for justice becomes its own prison? Chuck Jansen joins Heroic Men to explain why forgiveness is one of the hardest and most heroic choices a Catholic man can make. Drawing from years of teaching in prisons, churches, and men&rsquo;s groups, Chuck reveals how unresolved pain controls men, why forgiveness is a decision rather than a feeling, and how surrender to the Holy Spirit frees a man from anger without denying evil, abandoning truth, or excusing the offender.

In this episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, Mario Costabile sits down with Nate Guyear to explore the mystery and gift of divine grace.

We dive deep into the Catholic theology of grace, discussing:<ul><li>Why the natural cannot reach the supernatural without God's help</li><li>How grace draws us to God</li><li>How suffering can be transformed through grace</li><li>What role free will plays in accepting or rejecting grace</li><li>How to be more open to grace in everyday life</li></ul> If you’re looking to understand Catholic truth, deepen your Catholic spirituality, or simply want to be reminded of the power of God’s grace, this episode is for you. 📌 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more Catholic podcasts like this! -Support our Sponsors-<a href="https://bit.ly/4pd2t9B" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Magnifier</a>&nbsp;- An exciting new magazine to awaken wonder in children ages 7–12. -Support Our Mission-<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/donate" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Donate Here</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Book an Event</a> -Follow Us On Social Media-Facebook:&nbsp;<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast</a>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast</a>YouTube:&nbsp;<a href="https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast</a>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&nbsp;https://www.tiktok.com/@r4hpodcast</a> -Follow Nate Guyear-Website - <a href="https://catholicismexplained.com/" target="_blank">https://catholicismexplained.com/</a> ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction01:26 Start of Interview 03:15 What is Grace in the Catholic Tradition? 07:04 Is Grace Necessary? 08:42 How is Grace Acquired? 15:41 What does it mean to be in a "State of Grace"? 16:46 How does Grace change us? 19:36 Cooperating with Grace 23:43 How does Grace change suffering? 30:48 The Proper Response to God's Grace 36:48 How to Keep Up To Date with Nate

The Three Keys With Fr. James Malon (Replay)

Join Deacon for a raw conversation with radio pioneer Kevin Matthews—whose improbable journey from Detroit's airwaves to Marian devotion inspired the new film Broken Mary (in theaters October 7th). Raised in a violent, impoverished home amid alcoholism and racial strife, Kevin clawed his way to syndication stardom, captivating millions as a shock jock with a chaotic, high-rolling lifestyle. But after a devastating firing and rare illness left him broken, a dumpster-found, shattered statue of the Blessed Virgin ignited his radical conversion, turning the former junkyard dog into Christ's devoted "sheepdog."<a href="https://www.brokenmaryfilm.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.brokenmaryfilm.com/</a>

From "Shock Jock" to Divine Shock | Kevin Matthews

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-justice-against-injustice/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Justice go to EveryCatholicMan.com</a>.

Spy Wednesday is here and we’re switching it up. Just three days from Easter, I’m inviting you into 10 minutes of sacred silence. Something different today: a chance to pause. Judas betrayed Jesus today for 30 pieces of silver, setting the stage for tomorrow’s agony. What did Joseph feel in his trials? Your challenge: Be still for 10 minutes. Drop the podcast speed to normal, let Jeff’s calming music guide you, and reflect—on Christ, on Joseph, on your life.  Maybe you’re swamped, stressed, or off-track this Lent. That’s fine. This is your reset. Simplify, obey, be humble—10 minutes to listen to God’s voice. It might be your only break today, so take it.

Day 37 - Finding Peace in the Silence

<h1>Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted &#8211; Bishop of Phoenix</h1>
<h2>Complete My Joy</h2>
While at the <a href="http://www.cmfp.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Catholic Men&#8217;s Fellowship of Phoenix Conference</a> this past weekend, we were able to sit down with Bishop Olmsted to talk about his new <a href="http://www.ncregister.com/images/documents/DEC_12_ENGLISH_FINAL_CompletemyJoy.pdf?_ga=2.72147920.236494248.1549395572-1852606167.1549395572" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apostolic Exhortation</a>, &#8220;Complete My Joy&#8221;.
In 2015, Bishop Olmsted wrote <a href="https://intothebreach.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/INTO-THE-BREACH-ROMAN-CATHOLIC-DIOCESE-OF-PHOENIX.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Into the Breach&#8221;</a> an Apostolic Exhortation to Catholic men and masculinity that has been a popular read all across the globe and has now been officially translated in 11 different languages.
The title &#8220;Complete My Joy&#8221; is taken from Philippians [1:27]-2:2:
<blockquote>“Live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or am absent and hear about you, I will know that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving side by side with one mind for the faith of the gospel, and are in no way intimidated by your opponents. For them this is evidence of their destruction, but of your salvation. And this is God’s doing. For he has graciously granted you the privilege not only of believing in Christ, but of suffering for him as well— since you are having the same struggle that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.  If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.”  (Philippians [1:27]-2:2, RSV)</blockquote>
The document urges fathers and mothers to commit themselves and their families to a deeper relationship with Christ. &#8220;Fathers and mothers have the ability and responsibility to lead their families to holiness,&#8221; said Bishop Olmsted. &#8220;When I consider the blessings that God has bestowed on me in my life, second only to my Baptism into Christ&#8217;s family is the blessing of being raised in a faithful and united Catholic family. My parents, Patrick and Helen, committed themselves to God in the vocation to Holy Matrimony, and this provided stability for me to grow as their son and as a son of God.&#8221;
Bishop Olmsted released the apostolic exhortation on the Feast of the Holy Family, December 30th, 2018.
We want to thank Bishop Olmsted and the Diocese of Phoenix for the opportunity to discuss, &#8220;Complete My Joy,&#8221; and hope everyone will take the opportunity to read this gift.

Leading in an Apostolic Time w/ Dan Cellucci

Catholic men — it’s time to wake up.The battle is real, and it’s personal. Welcome to Part 3 of the Daily Grind with Go.d If you're not actively fighting for your soul, your wife’s, and your children’s, you're losing ground. This is not a game. Satan is not playing around, and the culture of comfort is numbing us into spiritual death.This episode is a direct challenge to you. To stop sleepwalking through your vocation. To take spiritual warfare seriously. To stop blaming everyone else and start owning your mission as a man, husband, and father. I talk about the realities of hell, the lies of the world, and how most men are spiritually passive while pretending they’re doing enough. Spoiler: we're not.I walk through my own moments of cowardice; not to beat myself up, but to show that if we don’t face the hard truth, we’ll never change. I also offer a clear battle plan: Confession, the Rosary, fasting, sacramentals, and brotherhood. You need a weapon in one hand and a rosary in the other.Attend the <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/strength-in-silence-ihm-mens-retreat-tickets-1309258600719?aff=oddtdtcreator" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Silent Retreat</a> in Grand Rapids, MI!🔥 3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>“You are either advancing the Kingdom of God — or retreating in cowardice.”</li><li>“We have too many baptized men who are spiritually castrated. They’ve handed over their authority without a fight.”</li><li>“You’re not ‘too busy’ for prayer. You’re choosing something else over God — and that’s idolatry.”</li></ol>One Key Takeaway to Apply Immediately: Stop making excuses and get to Confession this week. If you’ve been in mortal sin or living lukewarm, you are vulnerable to Satan’s grip. This is your first step in reclaiming your authority and becoming the spiritual warrior God created you to be.<a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>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!

Ep 18 - How to Become Great

Friends, our culture is obsessed with self-determination: finding our own voice, setting our own agenda, doing things according to our own lights. But is this problematic? And what does the Bible have to say about self-determination? On today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," Brandon Vogt and I discuss how, in the Christian tradition, heroes are never those who "find themselves," but rather those who heed the voice of God and remain obedient to the mission that God has given them. A listener asks, how do you possibly balance a passion for baseball with your faith life?

WOF 382: The Beauty of Hope w/ Fr. John Riccardo

Advent is not just a season; it’s a call to action. In this episode of The Manly Catholic, we dive deep into what it truly means to prepare for Christ’s coming—not just at Christmas but daily and in His glorious return. Discover why Advent is a season of spiritual warfare, silence, and renewal, and how Catholic men can step into their roles as protectors, leaders, and warriors for their families.We also highlight the powerful examples of St. Nicholas, the warrior bishop known for his bold defense of the faith and generosity, and St. Joseph, the silent protector whose strength and obedience inspire us to listen to God’s voice amidst the noise.Looking for practical tips? Learn how to incorporate daily Scripture, fasting, confession, and tools like Exodus 90’s Advent guide to deepen your spiritual discipline and grow closer to Christ. This episode is packed with wisdom to help you lead your family with courage and faith this Advent season.Key Takeaways:<ul><li>The meaning of Advent and its threefold focus: Christ’s birth, His daily presence, and His return.</li><li>Why Advent is a “spiritual boot camp” for Catholic men.</li><li>How St. Nicholas exemplifies bold action and charity during this holy season.</li><li>The importance of silence and how St. Joseph teaches us to listen to God’s will.</li><li>Practical tools like Exodus 90, fasting, and Advent traditions to help you and your family prepare.</li></ul>Top Quotes:<ul><li>“Advent isn’t passive—it’s a time of active battle.

The devil thrives in noise and distraction, but God speaks in the stillness of our hearts.”</li><li>“Advent is a season of preparation, not just for Christmas but for Christ’s second coming.

Ep 144 - Advent: A Call to Battle, Silence, and Spiritual Leadership

You are not living in neutral territory. You are standing on a battlefield.In this opening episode of our Spiritual Warfare series, we confront a truth most Catholic men avoid: the war is real, and you are already in it.Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the testimony of appointed exorcists like Fr. Gabriel Amorth, Fr. Chad Ripperger, Fr. Vincent Lampert, and Dr. Dan Schneider, we strip away the myths and expose how the enemy actually works.Most men do not fall because they openly rebel. They fall because they drift. They stop praying. They stop going to confession. They stop resisting. And into that vacuum, disorder enters.There is no neutral ground in the spiritual life. You are either moving toward God or sliding away from Him.You were not baptized into comfort. You were baptized into Christ’s death and resurrection. You were made for combat.If you are a Catholic husband, father, priest, or single man who wants clarity about spiritual warfare, demonic influence, confession, the state of grace, and authentic Catholic masculinity, this episode is for you.The question is simple: Where have you stopped resisting?The challenge this week is direct:<ul><li>Pray the St. Michael Prayer out loud three times a day (6am, 12pm, 6pm).</li><li>Take 10 minutes of silence and ask God: “Where have I gone soft?”</li></ul>The war is real. Fight like it.Referenced Resources &amp; Products<ul><li>Catechism of the Catholic Church (Paragraph 409)</li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/the-liber-christo-method-a-field-manual-for-spiritual-combat/?gc_id=12292385187&amp;h_ad_id=497215801881&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=12292385187&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADyykAzW8otW2_PpyoLE9LhYNARXv&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiA7rDMBhCjARIsAGDBuEARN1tPLv9QDqB_ybL9AeQjRiTgt0ymucx-EJ1xfwtuQVuRKPQ7JZsaAhKtEALw_wcB" target="_blank">The Liber Christo Method</a></li></ul>3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode<ol><li>“The war is real and whether you want to acknowledge it or not, you’re already in it.”</li><li>“No man accidentally becomes holy.

Ep 189 - The War Is Real: Why Passive Catholic Men Are Losing the Battle

The beautiful celebration of Corpus Christi is upon us and Fr. Dom does not disappoint! He discusses the significance of the Eucharistic procession and shares his personal experience of being ordained as a priest. Fr. Dom also explores the concept of being a priest and the joy and challenges that come with it. He then delves into the topic of Eucharistic miracles, highlighting several cases where the Eucharist transformed into human flesh and blood. Finally, he concludes by emphasizing the profound connection with God that occurs during the reception of the Eucharist. Takeaways <ol><li>The Eucharist is a profound gift from God that allows us to participate in His divine life.</li><li>Being a priest involves more than just celebrating Mass; it is a vocation of service and shepherding God's people.</li><li>Eucharistic miracles serve as powerful reminders of the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.</li><li>Receiving the Eucharist provides a deep connection with God and an opportunity to receive His graces.</li><li>The Eucharist is a source of peace, hope, and joy in our lives.</li></ol>Food for Thought <ul><li>"Every time we receive the Eucharist, we receive fully God's Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity."</li><li>"There's not enough hours in the day to satisfy the priesthood, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday."</li></ul>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://www.patreon.com/themanlycatholic?fan_landing=true" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Patreon</a> page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

About our gear:
No gear this week but something to do with your wife.
You and your wife write down the top 10 things that make you the happiest. Share the 10 things and think about if what you do throughout the day moves you closer to those things or further away.
This idea came from reading the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Playing-Financial-Independence-Retire-Early/dp/1608685802" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Playing with Frie by Scott Rieckens</a>
About the Topic:
<ol>
<li> The Good as a Cause of Love</li>
</ol> 
<ol>
<li> That it is (ST I-II:26:1)</li>
</ol> 
“As stated above (Q. XXVI., A. 1), Love belongs to the appetitive power which is a passive faculty. Wherefore its object stands in relation to it as the cause of its movement or act. Therefore the cause of love must needs be love’s object. Now the proper object of love is the good; because, as stated above (Q. XXVI., AA. 1, 2), love implies a certain connaturalness or complacency of the lover for the thing beloved, and to everything, that thing is a good, which is akin and proportionate to it. It follows, therefore, that good is the proper cause of love.
<ol start="2">
<li> Application to Married Life</li>
</ol> 
<ul>
<li>The more virtuous, the more loveable.</li>
<li>Foster natural virtues (prudence, temperance, fortitude, and justice)</li>
<li>Foster supernatural virtues (faith, hope, and love)</li>
</ul> 
<ol>
<li> Beauty as a Cause of Love </li>
<li> That it is (ST I-II:26:1 ad 3)</li>
</ol> 
“The beautiful is the same as the good, and they differ in aspect only. For since good is what all seek, the notion of good is that which calms the desire; while the notion of the beautiful is that which calms the desire, by being seen or known. Consequently those senses chiefly regard the beautiful, which are the most cognitive, viz., sight and hearing, as ministering to reason; for we speak of beautiful sights and beautiful sounds. But in reference to the other objects of the other senses, we do not use the expression beautiful, for we do not speak of beautiful tastes, and beautiful odours. Thus it is evident that beauty adds to goodness a relation to the cognitive faculty: so that good means that which simply pleases the appetite; while the beautiful is something pleasant to apprehend.”
<ol start="2">
<li> Application to Married Life</li>
</ol> 
<ul>
<li>The more beautiful, the more loveable.</li>
<li>Beauty as seen: e.g., physical appearances, external behavior, facial expression of mood, etc.</li>
<li>Beauty as known: e.g., knowledge of spouses life, skills, ideas, etc.</li>
</ul> 
<ol>
<li> Knowledge is Cause of Love </li>
<li> That it is (ST I-II:26:2)</li>
</ol> 
“As stated above (A. 1), good is the cause of love, as being its object. But good is not the object of the appetite, except as apprehended. And therefore love demands some apprehension of the good that is loved. For this reason the Philosopher (Ethic. ix. 5, 12) says that bodily sight is the beginning of sensitive love: and in like manner the contemplation of spiritual beauty or goodness is the beginning of spiritual love. Accordingly knowledge is the cause of love for the same reason as good is, which can be loved only if known.”
<ol start="2">
<li> Application to Married Life</li>
</ol> 
<ul>
<li>The more knowledge we have of our spouses, the move loveable they become.</li>
<li>Deep and meaningful conversation fosters growth in knowledge of spouse.</li>
</ul> 
<ol>
<li> Likeness is Cause of Love </li>
<li> That it is (ST I-II:26:3)</li>
</ol> 
“Likeness, properly speaking, is a cause of love . . . One kind of likeness arises from each thing having the same quality actually: for example, two things possessing the quality of whiteness are said to be alike . . . [this] kind of likeness causes love of friendship or well-wishing. For the very fact that two men are alike, having, as it were, one form, makes them to be, in a manner, one in that form: thus two men are one thing in the species of humanity, and two white men are one thing in whiteness. Hence the affections of one tend to the other, as being one with him; and he wishes good to him as to himself.”
<ol start="2">
<li> Application to Married Life</li>
</ol> 
<ul>
<li>It often occurs when one excels in an area and the other doesn’t, there can be tension. As such, we should strive to attain likeness or commonality in some areas of the spousal friendship.</li>
<li>E.g., exercise, topics of study, laughing at memes, etc.</li>

Problem of Evil with Pat Flynn

🔥Comment below: why do you think men need a series like this?
Can you help? Step up with Heroic Men to get this series into the hands of 25,000 men this 2025. <a href="https://heroicmen.org/give" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">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&mdash;only on Heroic Men. God made you a man. And God doesn't make mistakes.
This world is confused. It doesn&rsquo;t know what a real man is anymore. A real man doesn&rsquo;t live in isolation. He doesn&rsquo;t sit around making excuses for his selfishness. He doesn&rsquo;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&mdash;to lay down your life for others, to surrender your ego, to stop living for yourself and start living for Christ.
The question isn&rsquo;t whether or not you want to be a man. The question is: will you become the man God made you to be?

About our drink:

Each cask is chosen for its rare character and exceptional maturity. Finished in deep charred oak, the result is an exceptionally smooth single malt whisky whose aroma and flavour work in harmony. Bottled in the traditional way straight from the cask and without filtration, its subtle wood and vanilla flavour is enhanced by a full bodied spicy fruit aroma and mildly smokey aftertaste.
About our gear:
<div class="fluid-width-video-wrapper">This week we offer a challenge rather than a gear. Tune in to hear the challenge.</div>
<div></div>
<div class="fluid-width-video-wrapper">Our topic:</div>
<div class="fluid-width-video-wrapper">
<div>
Leisure &gt; Contemplation &gt; Gratitude &gt; Charity &gt; Evangelization
Leisure - Leisure is essentially “non-activity”; it is a form of silence. Leisure implies an attitude of total receptivity toward, and willing immersion in, reality; an openness of the soul, through which alone may come about those great and blessed insights that no amount of “mental labor” can ever achieve. Leisure implies that a person is freed for this period of time from any social function. Yet leisure does not mean the same as a break. A break, whether for an hour or 3 weeks, is designed to provide a respite from work in anticipation of more work; it finds its justification in relation to work. Leisure is something entirely different. The essence of leisure is not to assure that we may function smoothly but rather to assure that we, embedded in our social function, are enabled to remain fully human. 
Contemplation - It has been interpreted to mean: not only in the life to come, but also in his material existence in history, man is, to the very roots of his being, a creature designed for and desiring vision; and this is true to such a degree that the extent of a man’s happiness is only as great as his capacity for contemplation.
St. Teresa of Avila - “Contemplative prayer in my opinion is nothing else than a close sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with him who we know loves us.”
St. Gregory the Great - “the contemplative life is to cling with our whole mind to the love of God and our neighbor, and to desire nothing beside our Creator.”
Aquinas says people’s life are said to be contemplative who are chiefly intent on the contemplation of truth.
"Contemplation is a gaze of faith, fixed on Jesus. "I look at him and he looks at me": this is what a certain peasant of Ars in the time of his holy curé used to say while praying before the tabernacle. This focus on Jesus is a renunciation of self. His gaze purifies our heart; the light of the countenance of Jesus illumines the eyes of our heart and teaches us to see everything in the light of his truth and his compassion for all men. Contemplation also turns its gaze on the mysteries of the life of Christ. Thus it learns the "interior knowledge of our Lord," the more to love him and follow him.”
Gratitude - is being thankful for understanding reality for what it is. It is a moral imperative that keeps our focus on God, the source of all our blessings.
“Thank God ahead of time.” - Fr. Solanus Casey
CCC 2097: To adore God is to acknowledge, in respect and absolute submission, the “nothingness of the creature” who would not exist but for God. To adore God is to praise and exalt him and to humble oneself, as Mary did in the Magnificat, confessing with gratitude that he has done great things and holy is his name. 
CCC1418 “Because Christ himself is present in the sacrament of the altar, he is to be honored with the worship of adoration. “To visit the Blessed Sacrament is… a proof of gratitude, an expression of love, and a duty of adoration toward Christ our Lord.”
Charity: “The theological virtue by which we love God above all things for His own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God.” 
Aquinas on charity as “the friendship of man for God”, which “unites us to God”. Aquinas holds it as “the most excellent of the virtues.” Further, Aquinas holds that “the habit of charity extends to only to the love of God, but also to the love of our neighbor.”
The fruits of charity are joy, peace, and mercy.

How to not evangelize in a weird way

One of the most commonly used phrases to describe the experience of leadership is “it’s lonely at the top.”  The phrase resonates with leaders of all stripes and colors but what does it mean for a Christian?  Is there a way to find a deeper meaning to the solitude of leadership?  How did Jesus live His life as a leader?  How did the saints do it time and again?  And in what way can this pathway of solitude be a pathway of holiness for us today?  Here is Part One of our new series Embracing Solitude.

DGT Episode 322 - A Leader's Cross - Embracing Solitude Part 1

"Men, Trades, and the Language of Creation"“A man’s way of life is to put things in order, both in the world and in his own soul.”In this episode, we dig into the profound intersection of faith, work, and masculinity. Join James Caldwell and Father Dom as they speak with David about Harmel Academy of the Trades. This Catholic trade school is transforming lives by equipping men with skills for both the workshop and the soul. This isn’t just about trades; it’s about fatherhood, brotherhood, and answering God’s call to sanctify work.Memorable Quotes:<ol><li>"Work doesn’t just build walls; it builds men." – John Paul II’s wisdom on work resonates deeply throughout this conversation.</li><li>"Creation itself is a language—a divine language inviting us to read, shape, and elevate it."</li><li>"Men are apprentices of Christ. Our job is to show up and keep our eyes on the Master."</li></ol>Key Takeaways:<ol><li>The Sacredness of Work: Harmel Academy teaches men to see work as a path to holiness. Work isn't just a job; it's a participation in God’s creation.</li><li>Restoring Fatherhood: Fatherhood isn’t just biological—it’s spiritual and generative. Men are called to be stewards, builders, and protectors of their families and communities.</li><li>Community as Formation: Harmel creates a brotherhood where men grow together in prayer, work, and study, unlocking their potential as spiritual and practical leaders.</li><li>The Hierarchy of Work: As St. John Paul II taught, the primary value of work is in what it does to the worker—the sanctification of the person—before its societal contributions.</li><li>Attentiveness to God’s Will: True discipleship means asking, “Lord, what are we making here?” in every moment of work, even in the mundane.</li></ol>This episode is a call to action for men everywhere: to embrace their God-given roles as co-creators with Christ, to transform their work into worship, and to lead with humility and strength. Harmel Academy is shaping a new generation of men who bring faith into the workshop and the world.Ready to take the next step?

WOF Bonus Episode: Kids Interview

In Session 2, we saw that God developed in Adam’s heart a desire to be “like God.” Adam separated his heart from God and all creation fell. Jesus Christ became the “prodigal Adam” to restore what was lost be Adam. But we must go much further!

We must discover the primacy of mercy. Mercy is ESSENTIAL to the heart of a father. You were created to be a source of life. Life goes forth from you. You were also created to be rich in mercy.

When we practice mercy, it transforms us AND the other person … then why is practicing mercy so hard?  Once again, we will see that the battle to “be a man” is waged within your own mind and heart! Fortunately, God is on your side.

Advent Traditions

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.1.The Catholic Faith and Science Video Series can be used by parishes (large groups or smaller groups), individuals, groups, which pairs with:<a href="https://store.magiscenter.com/products/the-catholic-faith-and-science-parish-edition-participant-workbook" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Participant Workbook</a> (Condensed for individual, group, or parish use) <a href="https://store.magiscenter.com/products/facilitators-guide-parish-edition-the-catholic-faith-and-science" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facilitator’s Guide</a> (for group/parish use) 2.The Catholic Faith and Science also has the Student Workbook designed for a senior-year elective for high schools;<a href="https://store.magiscenter.com/products/the-catholic-faith-and-science-student-workbook" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Student Workbook</a> (for high school seniors, or any high school-aged student through adult)<a href="https://store.magiscenter.com/products/the-catholic-faith-and-science-teacher-s-guide" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Teacher’s Guide</a> (designed for high school teachers)About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

Leadership 

Kyle Washut, president of Wyoming Catholic College, joins the bonus show to discuss the trials and triumphs of family life. He and his wife Erin are happily raising their six kids, ranging from high school to one year old. Kyle attributes all family triumphs to the work of our Lord and recognizes that we are not the responsible party for all the goodness that comes from our kids.He recounts the harrowing tale of their fifth baby, Macrina, and the scare that occurred when his wife went into labor at 19 weeks pregnant. Needing a higher order of medical care to stop the hemorrhaging, Erin and Kyle had to be transported to a major hospital in Denver by plane. When they left the kids behind, they feared that Erin might not survive, and they were told that the baby would certainly not make it. The doctors encouraged the couple to perform a “procedure,” which was a euphemism for an abortion. Kyle knew at this moment they were facing a medical community that was not on the same page as the family, and the couple would need to rearrange their entire lives to prevent the ongoing pressure to abort.Kyle couldn’t return to Wyoming Catholic College, where he was serving as a dean and a professor, while his wife and unborn baby needed him in Denver. As Erin remained pregnant for ten more weeks in the hospital, the entire college met and decided to reorganize the schedules and plans of EVERYONE—all staff, students, and faculty—to accommodate the family's needs in supporting this birth. Baby Macrina is now a thriving five-year-old girl. This story is the greatest commercial anyone could ever imagine for how community is formed in special places like Wyoming Catholic College.

My Wife Went into Labor at 19 Weeks | Kyle Washut | Episode #136

Is Christianity a useful religion to the West? Atheist Richard Dawkins recently claimed that, while still an atheist, he considers himself a "cultural Christian" because of Christianity's utility in supporting Western cultural and political values, which he laments are under attack. Former atheist Ayaan Hirsi Ali also recently shared that she became a Christian upon realizing that Christianity is necessary to preserve Western political norms. There are some complex and even troubling underlying questions about making the connection between Christianity and utility, especially as it relates to contemporary "Western values." How is the utility defined and in response to what specific societal goals? Is Christianity's utility limited to the West alone? Aren't there some "Western values" that are antithetical to Christianity? A listener asks how to respond to the common criticism from atheists that Christians only believe in God because they are scared of death. 00:00 | Intro 01:32 | Bishop Barron's recent farm visit 03:00 | Recapping Richard Dawkins and the New Atheism 07:14 | Unpacking Richard Dawkins as a "cultural Christian" 12:38 | Can Christianity be culturally useful without a fixed cultural aim? 14:13 | Making moral judgments without a fixed standard 16:43 | The fundamentality of Christian thought in the West 19:51| Remembering the doctrinal dimension of Christianity 21:51 | Other influences in Western thought 25:16 | Is linking Christianity and Western thought evangelically helpful? 27:23 | Listener question 29:44 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Show Notes: <ul> <li>Article: <a href= "https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/257276/famous-atheist-richard-dawkins-says-he-considers-himself-a-cultural-christian" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/257276/famous-atheist-richard-dawkins-says-he-considers-himself-a-cultural-christian</a></li> <li>Article: <a href= "https://unherd.com/2023/11/why-i-am-now-a-christian/" target= "_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://unherd.com/2023/11/why-i-am-now-a-christian/</a></li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

About the Topic:
In his classic work<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Soul-Apostolate-Jean-Baptiste-Chautard-C-S/dp/0895550318" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a>The Soul of the Apostolate,  Dom Chautard demonstrates that the very foundation of all apostolic work must be the Interior Life.  The apostle of Christ will grow to become an instrument and true channel of God’s graces to the world only through prayer, meditation and the cultivation of the Interior Life.  When one is involved in works of spiritual or corporal charity, his work can only be truly efficacious when he anchors his Interior Life in Christ.  Without Christ, we can do nothing.

<blockquote>
<div>March 2nd is Ash Wednesday, and over a billion people will start living different in some way. Maybe giving up chocolate or alcohol, or whatever.</div>
For a lot of Catholics, Lent is a time of finding the easiest way to “give something up”. But, at the end of those 40 days, did that sacrifice really make a difference?

This year, there’s a new opportunity out there specifically for men that will actually help you grow closer to God and become a better man.

You’ve heard me talk about Exodus 90 — but let me tell you about Exodus Lent: a 40-day journey that will challenge you to dig a little deeper this year.

If your first reaction is: “I’m absolutely not taking cold showers” well you’re in luck: men who take on the Exodus Lent get to take warm showers, drink alcohol, and — when you’re with others — watch TV and sports. But don’t be fooled, this will still be a challenging 40 days of preparation for living the Christian life, for the rest of your life.

Here’s how it works:

First — Over the 40 days of Lent, men commit to daily prayer, setting aside a minimum of 20 minutes to spend with the Lord. Each day includes a scripture reading and reflection written to help men better understand, grow in, and live virtue.

Second — More than just giving up chocolate, men take up a range of disciplines and sacrifices for the season of Lent. Sweets, snacks, social media, are all gone.

Third — Men commit to a fraternity of 5-7 men. Each week, the fraternity meets to pray together, check in, hold each other accountable and encourage one another.

On Easter Sunday, you’ll walk away with a new and lasting understanding of what it means to live the full Christian life. Chocolate bunnies and all.
