The reality of death confronts our Lord as he nears the end of his earthly journey. In the death of their brother Lazarus, with all of its pain and sense of loss, Martha and Mary experience a preview of Christ's redeeming sacrifice that He offered for us.  Jesus teaches us today that we exist not to avoid suffering that is meaningless, but to find meaning in the suffering that is unavoidable.  Deacon Harold expands this today and also looking into Soulful Psalm 132:1-5

Marvel's Captain America, Anthony Mackie, recently spoke out about the "death of the American male". Which he states we have been living through for the last two decades. He then goes on to answer what makes a man and how to raise sons. However, does he get it right? Today, John Heinen and Devin Schadt unpack Mackie's provocative comments, explore the controversy surrounding his statements, and delve into the fundamental truths of masculine identity. They discuss why understanding what it means to be a man is crucial for everyone in today's complex social landscape. We cover:<ul>
<li>The essential virtues of masculinity</li>
<li>Archetypes and their effects on others</li>
<li>The principal example we must give our sons</li>

The 3 Habits of Missionary Discipleship

The line between science and faith is one we have been walking on for decades and Deacon Harold chats with Fr.

Ep 225 | The Eucharist Separates Us | Gathering at the Grotto

In this episode, Dr. David Hajduk gives his take on a popular argument of skeptics that the Gospels, as well as the central claims of Christianity like Jesus' resurrection, are just myths. He exposes how their ideas are built on shaky foundations, and makes clear that Christianity is the "real deal." - Support our Sponsor -<a href="https://bit.ly/3UaE1t2" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Ave Maria Mutual Funds</a>&nbsp;-&nbsp;the largest family of Catholic mutual funds in the U.S. Launched in 2001, their six no-load funds adhere to strong pro-life and pro-family values. ✨Join Us In Our Mission : https://arrayofhope.org/donate/ - Connect with us! - Facebook: @arrayofhopeministriesInstagram: @arrayofhopeministriesX: @aohministriesTikTok: @arrayofhopeministriesLinkedIn: @arrayofhopeministriesYouTube: @ArrayofHopeMinistriesWebsite : https://arrayofhope.org/podcast #truth #Christianity #TheTruthAbout ⏰ Timecodes ⏰00:00 Intro01:29 The basis that Christianity &amp; Jesus's Resurrection is a Myth03:27 Myth #1 Is Mark's Gospel is the oldest04:21 Myth # 2 Is Mark's "added" or "newer" ending06:19 Ave Maria Mutual Funds07:29 Become a partner of Array of Hope08:12 Myth #3 Is Paul and the other Evangelists were fakes09:14 Myth #4 Is The Idea Luke has more resurrection narratives10:07 Myth #5 That The Evangelists constructed a "story" to prove the Resurrection11:31 The Gospels vs The New Modern Scholars12:23 End

The Truth About Christianity : Why it's the real deal

All of us are engaged in business.  What difference does faith make?  How is it that my faith in Jesus Christ and His teachings will really impact my life as a professional in this world?  Do the two intersect?  Pope Francis thinks that they do.  I’d like to look at the difference that it makes for someone to know Jesus Christ from the heart.

Ep 129 - The Gateway to the Divine Life with James and Fr. Dom

Parts of the global Church have a very different kind of challenge on their hands than we do in the West: how to handle explosive growth. In many parts of Africa, the Church is running out of room in their seminaries, convents, and monasteries because of rising vocations, and the laity are collectively practicing their faith in ways that put the Church in the West to shame. In Nigeria, upwards of 94 percent of Catholics go to Mass every week, while the U.S. can't even reach 30 percent in weekly Mass attendance among Catholics. What explains this wide discrepancy? What are we in the West getting so wrong about evangelization, and what is the Church in Africa getting so right? A listener asks how she and her family can practice Sabbath rest. 00:00 | Intro 01:50 | DOWR Chancery dedication 03:00 | The African church as a robust exemplar 05:35 | Does Africa's numerical strength translate to ecclesial strength? 07:12 | Lesson 1: Primacy of the supernatural 10:56 | Lesson 2: Hold fast to theological orthodoxy 12:08 | How the Church engages cultures 16:13 | Lesson 3: Commitment to evangelize the culture 17:49 | The rhythm between "hunkering down" and "diving in" 19:50 | Lesson 4: Praise in public, criticize in private 23:13 | Lesson 5: Courage in the face of opposition 25:19 | Counter-claims for Africa's religious success 28:49 | Listener question 31:28 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Show Notes: <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Stats for Nigerian Church attendance: <a href= "https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253488/where-is-mass-attendance-highest-one-country-is-the-clear-leader" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253488/where-is-mass-attendance-highest-one-country-is-the-clear-leader</a></li> <li>Stats for American Mass attendance: <a href= "https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/04/12/9-facts-about-us-catholics/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/04/12/9-facts-about-us-catholics/</a></li> <li>National Catholic Register article: <a href= "https://www.ncregister.com/news/same-sex-blessings-and-the-catholic-church-in-africa" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://www.ncregister.com/news/same-sex-blessings-and-the-catholic-church-in-africa</a></li> <li>E&C Online article: <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/pope-francis-isnt-actually-visiting-peripheries-hes-leaving-them-behind/"> https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/pope-francis-isnt-actually-visiting-peripheries-hes-leaving-them-behind/</a></li> <li>Crux article: <a href= "https://cruxnow.com/news-analysis/2023/01/running-the-numbers-africa-isnt-the-catholic-future-its-the-present"> https://cruxnow.com/news-analysis/2023/01/running-the-numbers-africa-isnt-the-catholic-future-its-the-present</a></li> <li>Vatican News article: <a href= "https://www.vaticannews.va/en/church/news/2023-04/over-50000-christians-killed-in-nigeria-by-islamist-extremists.html"> https://www.vaticannews.va/en/church/news/2023-04/over-50000-christians-killed-in-nigeria-by-islamist-extremists.html</a></li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/">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>!

As Bishop Barron shows in his new book, <a href= "http://vibrantparadoxes.com" target="_blank">Vibrant Paradoxes</a>, Catholicism is both/and, not either/or. It celebrates the union of contraries—grace and nature, faith and reason, Scripture and tradition, body and soul—in a way that the full energy of each opposing element remains in place.

Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and the Problem of Certainty (Erick Ybarra) | Ep. 510

After perusing <a href= "http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/08/24/why-americas-nones-left-religion-behind/"> the latest Pew Study</a> on why young people are leaving the active practice of Christianity, Bishop Barron noticed that (once again) the reasons they offer for abandoning Christianity are entirely not compelling. That is to say, any theologian, apologist, or evangelist worth his salt should be able easily to answer these objections to faith and hopefully encourage the youngster to reconsider the Truth of the Church.

Mr. Beast, Budlight, Aquinas on Memory, AMA, and Whatever Else

God created man and put him in the Garden of Eden to till (serve) and to keep (protect and defend) it. God entrusts man with caring for His creation and allows him to name the animals. These acts are not simply to keep man busy or provide him with something to do to pass the time. Man is imbued with preternatural gifts and human dignity. Deacon Harold continues this talking about The Value of Work in God’s Blueprint for a Happy Life

God's Blueprint: The Value of Work (Part 2)

Most couples believe love and faith are enough to build a marriage. But what if they aren't? Too often, the real cracks appear after the vows because they never talked about what truly matters.

From intimacy and past wounds to faith, finances, and family culture, this episode uncovers the silent assumptions that quietly sabotage relationships.

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob discuss fantasy football, Padre Pio, Shia LaBeouf, and the end of the first chapter of Philippians.

Philippians 1:12-30

Friends, today we share my recent <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjxKG4mR3U4">"Bishop Barron Presents" discussion with Shia LeBeouf</a>. Shia is an actor famous for his roles in Transformers, Honey Boy, and Peanut Butter Falcon, among other films. His most recent role is as the young Padre Pio in a new biopic on the great saint, a role which changed his life as he explains in this discussion. His story of conversion is profound and I think you will find it deeply moving.

WOF 350: Finding the Way to God w/ Shia LaBeouf

Today we share in interview about Brandon Vogt's new book <a href="https://wordonfire.org/return">Return: How to Draw Your Child Back to the Church</a>, recently published by Word on Fire. The book is full of concrete advice and practical strategies to help draw any loved one back to the Church. <a href="https://wordonfire.org/return">Return</a> includes one of the best summations of why people dismiss the Church's faith. He doesn't cast aspersions or blame, and he avoids the scapegoating that marks some approaches to this problem. Instead, he focuses on the solution, using a positive emphasis on what parents can say and do to respond to their child's objections, rebuild relationships, and ultimately draw them back to the Church. <a href="https://wordonfire.org/return">Return</a> offers no magic-bullet guarantee that your loved one will come back. But you will find a complete game plan to create the best possible environment to reintroduce them to Christ and his Church.

SPECIAL: Hope During the Coronavirus w/ Bishop Barron

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-humility-against-pride/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Humility go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a>

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

Why The Rescue Project?

We passionately believe that the most urgent task is the compelling proclamation of the gospel, one that not only shares it in an attractive – and concentrated – way, but that also offers people a way of seeing reality, and of making sense of the world, history, and life that is vastly different from the story our modern culture tells.

Until this happens, the Christian faith is often experienced as a mere set of rules and disciplines, and simply going to Church isn’t likely to lead a person to embark on the great adventure that is following Jesus and continuing His mission of the rescuing of this world. We don’t think most people have ever heard the gospel.

What is The Rescue Project?

The Rescue Project seeks to proclaim the gospel in a compelling and attractive way over eight weeks in a small group format. This experience is imbued with beauty, authentic humanity, and accompaniment.

Oh, and by the way it’s free!

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-faith-againt-doubt/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Faith go to EveryCatholicMan.com</a>.

LITANIES OF VIRTUE SERIES: The Litany of Faith (Against Disbelief and Doubt)

The BeatiDudes is a religiously funny talk show that takes a holy and humorous approach to being a Christian man in the modern world. This Catholic show combines prayer, wit, wisdom, and everything in between.Season One wraps up as the BeatiDudes honor their wives and each other with a rollercoaster of Catholic comedy and prayer. Watch Paul Kolker crush it in a special game of Blessed are the Joke Makers in which he takes on many personas to address the prompt, “Mea culpa, Father, I couldn’t make it to mass because _____” while Nick and Jeff guess as many as possible. Then the pinnacle moment of Season One occurs when the BeatiDudes dedicate the show and all of its work to the protection and intercession of St. Maximilian Kolbe.

Friends, death is a topic most of us try to avoid. So, why does Catholicism teach we should meditate regularly on our death? On today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," Brandon Vogt and I discuss the ancient Christian practice of memento mori (remember your death), and how Christ solves the four problems that death poses to each of us: identity, futility, loss, and the end of earthly joys. A listener asks, what should Catholics think about near death experiences and stories?

WOF 399: Why You Should Ponder Your Death

Today it’s fashionable to separate the Church from society.  We claim that the legitimate separation of Church from state means that the state should proceed without any influence from the Church.  The Church, however, has a different opinion.  How are we to evaluate of the Catholic Church’s contribution to our society?  What impact can the world really expect from the Christian message?  What’s the value of the culture that we’re proposing?  All these question are central to the discussion about how Jesus raises us up to lead our culture today.

Bill Donaghy On Transgenderism

Thanks for listening! Here's the text I read from the Summa II-II, Q.2 (articles 1,2, and 3). I answer that, "To think" can be taken in three ways. First, in a general way for any kind of actual consideration of the intellect, as Augustine observes (De Trin. xiv, 7): "By understanding I mean now the faculty whereby we understand when thinking." Secondly, "to think" is more strictly taken for that consideration of the intellect, which is accompanied by some kind of inquiry, and which precedes the intellect's arrival at the stage of perfection that comes with the certitude of sight. On this sense Augustine says (De Trin. xv, 16) that "the Son of God is not called the Thought, but the Word of God. When our thought realizes what we know and takes form therefrom, it becomes our word. Hence the Word of God must be understood without any thinking on the part of God, for there is nothing there that can take form, or be unformed." In this way thought is, properly speaking, the movement of the mind while yet deliberating, and not yet perfected by the clear sight of truth. Since, however, such a movement of the mind may be one of deliberation either about universal notions, which belongs to the intellectual faculty, or about particular matters, which belongs to the sensitive part, hence it is that "to think" is taken secondly for an act of the deliberating intellect, and thirdly for an act of the cogitative power. Accordingly, if "to think" be understood broadly according to the first sense, then "to think with assent," does not express completely what is meant by "to believe": since, in this way, a man thinks with assent even when he considers what he knows by science [Science is certain knowledge of a demonstrated conclusion through its demonstration.], or understands. If, on the other hand, "to think" be understood in the second way, then this expresses completely the nature of the act of believing. For among the acts belonging to the intellect, some have a firm assent without any such kind of thinking, as when a man considers the things that he knows by science, or understands, for this consideration is already formed. But some acts of the intellect have unformed thought devoid of a firm assent, whether they incline to neither side, as in one who "doubts"; or incline to one side rather than the other, but on account of some slight motive, as in one who "suspects"; or incline to one side yet with fear of the other, as in one who "opines." But this act "to believe," cleaves firmly to one side, in which respect belief has something in common with science and understanding; yet its knowledge does not attain the perfection of clear sight, wherein it agrees with doubt, suspicion and opinion. Hence it is proper to the believer to think with assent: so that the act of believing is distinguished from all the other acts of the intellect, which are about the true or the false. (Article 1) I answer that, The act of any power or habit depends on the relation of that power or habit to its object. Now the object of faith can be considered in three ways. For, since "to believe" is an act of the intellect, in so far as the will moves it to assent, as stated above (Article 1, Reply to Objection 3), the object of faith can be considered either on the part of the intellect, or on the part of the will that moves the intellect. If it be considered on the part of the intellect, then two things can be observed in the object of faith, as stated above (II-II:1:1). One of these is the material object of faith, and in this way an act of faith is "to believe in a God"; because, as stated above (II-II:1:1) nothing is proposed to our belief, except in as much as it is referred to God. The other is the formal aspect of the object, for it is the medium on account of which we assent to such and such a point of faith; and thus an act of faith is "to believe God," since, as stated above (II-II:1:1) the formal object of faith is the First Truth, to Which man gives his adhesion, so as to assent to Its sake to whatever he believes. Thirdly, if the object of faith be considered in so far as the intellect is moved by the will, an act of faith is "to believe in God." For the First Truth is referred to the will, through having the aspect of an end. (Article 2) I answer that, Wherever one nature is subordinate to another, we find that two things concur towards the perfection of the lower nature, one of which is in respect of that nature's proper movement, while the other is in respect of the movement of the higher nature. Thus water by its proper movement moves towards the centre (of the earth), while according to the movement of the moon, it moves round the centre by ebb and flow. On like manner the planets have their proper movements from west to east, while in accordance with the movement of the first heaven, they have a movement from east to west. Now the created rational nature alone is immediately subordinate to God, since other creatures do not attain to the universal, but only to something particular, while they partake of the Divine goodness either in "being" only, as inanimate things, or also in "living," and in "knowing singulars," as plants and animals; whereas the rational nature, in as much as it apprehends the universal notion of good and being, is immediately related to the universal principle of being. Consequently the perfection of the rational creature consists not only in what belongs to it in respect of its nature, but also in that which it acquires through a supernatural participation of Divine goodness. Hence it was said above (I-II:3:8) that man's ultimate happiness consists in a supernatural vision of God: to which vision man cannot attain unless he be taught by God, according to John 6:45: "Every one that hath heard of the Father and hath learned cometh to Me." Now man acquires a share of this learning, not indeed all at once, but by little and little, according to the mode of his nature: and every one who learns thus must needs believe, in order that he may acquire science in a perfect degree; thus also the Philosopher remarks (De Soph. Elench. i, 2) that "it behooves a learner to believe." Hence in order that a man arrive at the perfect vision of heavenly happiness, he must first of all believe God, as a disciple believes the master who is teaching him.

158: Aquinas on the act of faith

One of the terrible, and often true, stereotypes of Gen Z and Millenials is that of an entitled attitude. Young people today can be seen saying that they want to be able to work less and earn more than every generation before them - despite the fact that we currently live the most comfortable lifestyles in all of human history by a long shot. 
 
This flows in and out of a victim mindset - whereby young people blame all their financial problems on other people. The reality is that even if your situation is the result of other people&#39;s decisions, it&#39;s your responsibility to change it. 
 
There&#39;s a hard message in today&#39;s podcast. I hope that it will inspire some, especially young men, to recognize their God given capability for hard work, creativity, and fortitude.

Joel Stepanek is the Chief Operating Officer for the National Eucharistic Congress taking place in Indianapolis in July of 2024. The attendees will be united, formed, healed, and sent out as evangelists. This is the first event of its kind since the 1940s. Prior to the Congress, four separate Eucharistic processions will cross America and converge in Indianapolis. Joel leads the BeatiDudes in a review of all the ways in which we can participate in the Congress, starting with the fundamental question of “how are we allowing God to work in us and through us?”On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a Drill Sergeant to address the prompt, “Lord, I need _____.” The TBD question of the day is where would you go in the United States if someone gifted you and your spouse with an all expense paid trip for the week?

When most people speak about leadership today, they mean it in the context of business.  And there are ample examples of great leadership in the world of business, and ample examples of Catholics who have typified that same leadership in the world of business.  But I’d like to focus us today on the reflection of a great Saint who was not a business leader but in fact the Pope, Pope St. John Paul II, and see how his life teaches us about Catholic leadership.

Last weekend, I came across a short clip from Pints with Aquinas on YouTube that was titled, &quot;Stay-at-home dads are AWESOME&quot; 
 
But are they really? I took some of my thoughts to Instagram and quickly was met with feedback. Some people seemed to support the idea of stay at home dads while others were against it. 
As usual, it took me a few day to come to a conclusion on where I really stand on the subject. Once I did, I knew I&#39;d need to record an episode on it.

Ep 226 | Stay at Home Dads: A Recipe for Awesomeness or Disaster?

Hey there, brothers! This episode of the Manly Catholic dives deep into "Philia," the Greek word for friendship, exploring how this love forms the backbone of true brotherhood. Forget the superficial hangouts; we're talking about the kind of bond where iron sharpens iron, just as Proverbs says. We kick off post-Super Bowl, reflecting on more than just who won the game but on the deeper connections we should strive for in our lives. I challenge you to look at your friendships: are they just for watching sports, or do they push you towards virtue and sanctity? Philia isn't just camaraderie; it's a sacred, Christ-centered relationship that demands vulnerability and mutual growth.You'll discover how Jesus himself modeled this friendship, inviting us into a divine camaraderie. We'll tackle modern challenges like fear of vulnerability, the illusion of social media connections, and our culture's competitive nature, which can erode true brotherhood. Actionable Insights:<ul><li>Reflect on Your Circle: Evaluate who you spend time with. Are they pushing you towards sainthood or just another game night?</li><li>Cultivate Deep Connections: Make time for meaningful conversations, not just casual meetups. Be intentional about deepening your relationships.</li><li>Pray for Friendship: If you feel isolated, pray for the right companions who can challenge and support your spiritual journey.</li></ul>Key Takeaway for Men:<ul><li>Embrace Vulnerability: True friendship requires sharing struggles, not just victories. Open up about your challenges, and you'll find strength in those who lift you up.</li></ul>This episode isn't just about friendship; it's about forming a brotherhood that reflects God's love. Don't miss out on transforming your life through the power of philia. Tune in now, and let's build a fraternity that stands the test of time.

Eucharistic Miracles with Angelo Libutti

Deacon Harold reflects on the sacrament of Matrimony and Psalm 119: TETH

The Ring and the Cross

She competed in hockey, figure skating, gymnastics, soccer, and dance team as a young girl and teenager, and in her adult years moved into sports pursuits such as tennis/pickleball, receiving Pilates and TRX certifications, and creating a physical certification program under the banner of SoulCore, a Catholic fitness apostolate that she is co-founder of, with a mission to amplify the experience of prayer through physical movement. On the faith side, she has a conversion story to the Catholic faith, which she talks about during this interview.

Thanks to the news, we seem to always know about conflicts and wars happening halfway across the world. Currently, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Palestine conflict have captured our attention. But have you ever given thought to all the conflict that exists in the world that we don't even hear of? The wars that get no media coverage?The ongoing conflict in Cameroon is one such story.Every single day, people live in circumstances that we here in the west can barely fathom. So, toda...

Faith, Hope and Charity in War-Torn Africa with Fr. Cipriano Obioha

Men are confused. The culture is loud. Fathers are absent. The Church is under pressure.So what does it actually mean to be a holy, strong, masculine man today?In this episode of The Manly Catholic, I chat with John Bishop, founder of Forge and author of New Adam, to confront the crisis head-on. We talk about the collapse of fatherhood, declining male engagement in the Church, toxic masculinity narratives, and the deep hunger men feel for a clear mission.This is not about machismo or cultural sterotypes such as "toxic masculinity" or domination; but about returning to Genesis and the garden.We walk through:<ol><li>Why masculinity and femininity rise and fall together</li><li>The devastating impact of fatherlessness on faith and society</li><li>Why young men are searching for heroes</li><li>The failure of modern culture to form men</li><li>Adam in the Garden and what his mission teaches us</li><li>The sacred call to work as part of male holiness</li><li>Why priests must reclaim authentic fatherhood</li><li>How Christ, the New Adam, restores what was lost</li></ol>If men do not know who they are, they cannot lead. If fathers do not lead, families collapse. If families collapse, the culture collapses.This episode is a direct challenge: Stop drifting. Stop outsourcing formation. Stop waiting for someone else to lead.The time for passivity is over.<h3>Products &amp; References Mentioned</h3><ul><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.orderosv.com/product/new-adam-god-s-plan-for-men?ga_ref_list_id=taxonomy_3_term_6524ga_ref_list_name=Taxonomy%20Term:%20New%20Releases" target="_blank">New Adam by John Bishop</a></li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://myforge.org/" target="_blank">Forge</a></li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://focus.org/" target="_blank">Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS)</a></li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.mysticmonkcoffee.com/" target="_blank">Mystic Monk Coffee</a></li><li>Harmel Academy of the Trades</li><li>Opus Dei</li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Get-Married-Americans-Families-Civilization/dp/0063210851" target="_blank">Brad Wilcox – Get Married</a></li></ul><h3>Powerful Quotes from the Episode</h3><ol><li>“Masculinity and femininity thrive when they are in synergy with one another.

Ep 190: New Adam: The Blueprint for Catholic Masculinity in a Confused World (John Bishop)

Friends, the Liturgy of the Hours is the highest form of prayer after the Mass. It is an ancient, structured way of praying Scripture throughout the day, focusing especially on the Psalms. In today's episode of the "Word on Fire Show," Brandon Vogt and I discuss why this prayer is so powerful and how to get started with it. We also introduce <a href="https://wordonfire.org/pray">a new resource from Word on Fire</a> that makes it easier to pray these sacred prayers. A listener asks, is there much point to praying anything other than the Lord's will?

WOF 332: How to Start Praying the Liturgy of the Hours

I have the privilege of speaking with Fr. Roger Landry, who embarked on an extraordinary 1,200-mile plus Eucharistic pilgrimage across the United States while carrying Christ. We explore the profound impact of bringing Jesus in the Eucharist to tens of thousands of people, where even the most indifferent hearts were moved. Fr. Landry shares stories of people stopping their cars, stepping onto the scalding asphalt to kneel in reverence, and experiencing conversions of heart amidst a world often filled with loneliness and apathy. He even had the opportunity to offer a procession in a prison yard, leading something that has likely never happened before in the United States of America. Despite facing some insults, the journey was marked by overwhelming love and transformation. Join us as we delve into these powerful moments of faith and devotion.<h2>Links Discussed on the Show:</h2>Seton Pilgrimage Chronicled by Fr.

The Man Who Walked 1200 Miles Holding Christ

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. Healing is much broader than we could ever imagine, so be sure that your work is always under the influence of prayer. Robert H.

In this episode, Dr. David Hajduk gives his take on whether you can call yourself "Catholic" and be "pro-choice." He makes clear what being "pro-choice" means and what being "Catholic" means, as well as what sort of choices, beliefs, and activities might make a person no longer in communion with the Catholic Church. - Support our Sponsor -<a href="https://bit.ly/3UaE1t2" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Ave Maria Mutual Funds</a>&nbsp;-&nbsp;the largest family of Catholic mutual funds in the U.S. Launched in 2001, their six no-load funds adhere to strong pro-life and pro-family values. ✨See How We Can Help Your Parish/Faith Community https://arrayofhope.org/ - Connect with us! -Facebook: @arrayofhopeministriesInstagram: @arrayofhopeministriesX: @aohministriesTikTok: @arrayofhopeministriesLinkedIn: @arrayofhopeministriesYouTube: @ArrayofHopeMinistriesWebsite : https://arrayofhope.org/podcast #catholic #prolife #prochoice ⏰ Timecodes ⏰00:00 Intro01:28 Can a person be both Catholic and Pro-choice02:30 What is Abortion?03:45 The Catholic Churches opinions &amp; teachings about abortion05:28 Excommunicated from the Catholic Church06:33 How can excommunication be lifted?06:57 Abortion in Politics10:38 Ave Maria Mutual Fund Ad12:13 More on the Teachings of the Church about Abortion13:36 St. Pope John Paul II - Evangelium Vitae15:35 Rejecting the Churches Teachings about Abortion16:33 Possibility of schism on those who oppose the Churches teachings on abortion16:56 St. Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Letters17:47 Pope Benedict XVI comments on the teachings19:26 Are the excommunicated still Catholics?20:51 Final Thoughts

Case #01 - No Life Without Death - Pt. 1

This chapter introduces the section on building a clear path to discipleship. Tim reminds us that this is our core identity as a Church, so we strategize on how to accomplish it.


Chapter 14: Introduction

Friends, many people in the Church, including the Holy Father, have been talking about "synodality." But what is it? What does it mean? How can it help the Church, and what are possible dangers? That's what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show." A listener asks, what is appropriate to bring with you into Eucharistic Adoration? Links <ul> <li><a href="https://goodnewsconference.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Good News Conference</a></li> </ul>

WOF 365: What is Synodality?

Jesus warns men to be watchful in the Parable of Watchful Slaves. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of Piety from the Holy Spirit so he can enter more deeply into the liturgy of the Church to prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ and by cultivating the Virtue of Diligence so he can vigilantly battle to live a more orderly and holy life and be ready to meet Jesus Christ at any time.

Episode 104 - Jesus warns men to be watchful in the Parable of Watchful Slaves - Sunday December 4, 2023 - Mk 13:33-37

Bishop Barron takes several questions from non-Catholics, including: <ul> <li>How does the Catholic Church think about sola Scriptura and Bible interpretation?</li> <li>Since we can't know beyond a reasonable doubt that Christianity is true, why should I become a Christian?</li> <li>Any tips for a Protestant transitioning to Catholicism?</li> <li>Why are some sins considered mortal?</li> <li>Is there a realistic possibility of reuniting the Christian churches, and if not, what are the major stumbling blocks?</li> <li>What is the role of saints? Why aren't they considered to be idols?</li> <li>What is the Catholic view of the apocrypha (deuterocanonical books)?</li> <li>What about apparent contradictions in the Bible? Does this undermine the Bible's inerrancy?</li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bishopbarron">Become a patron</a> and get some great perks for helping, like free books, bonus content, and more.

WOF 314: Non-Catholic Q&A w/ Bishop Barron

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father. Today we hear Jesus, the Messiah, bluntly rebuke and the men of His hometown Nazareth and miraculously thwart their angry attempts to kill Him by throwing Him off a cliff. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to seek the Grace of Christ to grow in the Virtue of Faith so a man always remains faithful and loyal to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to build the Virtue of Piety so he can seek to imitate the heroic virtue of St. Joseph and seek his intercession in a man’s daily struggles.

Episode 36 - Jesus reveals He is the Messiah and the people of His hometown attempt to kill Him - Lenten Daily Gospel Bible Study - Monday March 13, 2023 - Lk 4:24-30

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-temperance-against-gluttony/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Temperance go to EveryCatholicMan.com</a>.

The BeatiDudes set up a booth at the 10th National Eucharistic Congress (NEC) for one day of open recording with new friends, old buddies, and a handful of repeat guests.Part One of this three-episode series jumps right in with the BeatiDudes’ first guest, a man who started off as a stranger walking by and quickly became an all-time BeatiDude favorite. Meet Kelly, Texas Aggie Class of 1993. This man embodies the Spirit of Aggieland, aka Texas A&amp;M University, better than just about anyone. The second guest is our first repeat BeatiDude in history, Chris McMahon from <a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a>. Chris is on fire for service and shares his love for the great work of many religious sisters before introducing the BeatiDudes to their next guest, Sister Margie from the Sisters of Mary.

J.B. and the BeatiDudes talk about the power of praise and worship in the most dynamic parishes and organizations, especially St. Ann in Coppell, Texas. This quick and powerful conversation includes ice sculpture ideas and a shared prayer for J.B. and his fiancé. <a href="https://www.stannparish.org/"> Follow St. Ann Parish online</a>.The last guest for the first hour of NEC fun is Fr.
