S2-Case #09-The Ties That Bind, Pt. 2

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. The Liturgy of the Hours, or the "Divine Office," is often associated exclusively with the spiritual practices of priests, monks, and nuns. To be sure, praying the Hours is an essential part of the lives of those who have formally taken religious vows. However, the prayer of the Church, as the Liturgy of the Hours is also called, is precisely that: a way of sanctifying the day for the whole Church, both laity and clergy alike. With so many forms of prayer already available, however, why should lay Catholics also consider praying the Hours? What, substantively, is distinctive about it? What are its origins? Moreover, given the size and complexity of the Hours—the full liturgy occupies four thick volumes of text with multiple ribbons to mark different sections—how, practically, can we get started? Here to explain the enduring theological and spiritual richness of the Liturgy of the Hours and how it deepens and enriches all Catholics' lives, is Bishop Robert Barron. Topics Covered 00:00 | Introduction 01:11 | Bishop Barron's diocesan travels 02:35 | Why the Liturgy of the Hours matters to Word on Fire 03:57 | Leading with beauty 04:57 | Prayer and the importance of embodiment 08:06 | The origins and practice of praying the Divine Office 12:13 | How the Liturgy of the Hours shapes priests 13:26 | Understanding the Liturgy of the Hours as the Divine Office 14:22 | Relating the Liturgy of the Hours to the liturgy of the Mass 15:11 | What makes a prayer liturgical? 15:52 | Why the Psalms feature so prominently in the Divine Office 20:06 | How the laity benefits from praying the Divine Office 21:46 | "Pray without ceasing" 23:17 | Getting started with the Liturgy of the Hours 27:32 | Persevering through fatigue in prayer 30:51 | The Divine Office and evangelization 31:44 | Listener question: What effect does our prayer have on others? 34:18 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> 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">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

Do the writings of St. John of the Cross and St. Theresa of Avila speak to you in a special way?Interior journey - search for God inside of oneself.meditation on the word of God, liturgy, silence and solitude, and asceticism.Carmelite spirituality proposes silence and solitude as necessary pre-requisites for prayer and contemplation.Not only exterior silence but interior silence as well.&nbsp;This is why solitude is importantAn emphasis in seeing suffering as part of God’s plan for our own sanctification“Dark night"Also St. Therese of Lisieux&nbsp;Opus DeiMotto - Opus Dei - the work of GodOfficially the “Prelature of the Holy Cross”Are you convinced that holiness is found in boardrooms and lunchrooms as well as chapels and churches? Consider the way of Opus Dei.Founded in Spain in 1928 by St. Josemaria Escriva. The guiding principle behind the movement is that holiness is attainable by everyone, and ordinary life is the way to sanctity.According to John Cloverdale, law professor at Seton Hall University and author of “Uncommon Faith, The Early Years of Opus Dei (1928-1943)”Three points characterize Opus Dei:First, a stress on integrating the secular into one’s spiritual life, rather than seeing everyday life as a problem to be overcome, it is part and parcel of where we are to sanctify ourselves.“Second, an emphasis on work, understood broadly, as the whole range of activities, seen as a path to sanctity. [God] wants us to do it well and offer it to him. The first step is to do it and do it well.“Third, a very strong stress on the reality of being sons and daughters of God that gives an optimistic and positive tone to love. God really does love us and is concerned about each of us.”SalesianMotto - Da mihi Animas cætera tolle -&nbsp;"Give me souls, take away the rest"Are&nbsp;you a people person who experiences God most in acts of gentleness, compassion, and optimism?The Salesians were founded by St. John Bosco is honor of St. Francis of DeSales.Much like the Opus Dei, Salesian spirituality is one for the everyday life.&nbsp;A unique emphasis of the salesian spirituality is an outward disposition of humility, gentleness, civility, and optimism.&nbsp;HUMILITY – living in self-truthfulness about who we are, both positive and negativeHumility leads us to GENTLENESS towards our neighbor. Because one is so aware of his or her own needs and weakness, one extends to another person similar understanding and compassion.CIVILITY and RESPECT must mark the behavior of a truly “gentle” devout Christian.Because we have a Savior, we are always OPTIMISTIC.Vincentian&nbsp;No motto associated with it, but the Missionaries of Charity are the most well know (at least in this country) and their motto is&nbsp;Caritas Christi Urget nos - The charity of Christ urges usDo you feel an attraction to the corporal works of mercy? Especially works of service for the poor?St. Vincent teaches us to see Christ in the poor and suffering, so much so that the poor become our Lords and Masters and we their servants. Vincentian spirituality is centered around this concept. Jesus said “Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” (see Matthew 25: 34-40).<h2>About our drink:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.stranahans.com/" target="_blank">Stranahan's Single Barrel Cask Strength</a></h2><h2>About the gear:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.catholicsacramentals.org/custom-items/sacramental-travel-kit" target="_blank">Sacramental Travel Kit</a></h2><h2>About our topic: Catholic Spiritualities</h2>https://youtu.be/a9GRIACPe5wIf this is your first time listening to The Catholic Man Show, we do 3 things almost every episode:TIME CODES:1.)

<div class="fluid-width-video-wrapper">Our topic:</div>
<div>
That there is a marital debt to be paid
As the slave is in the power of his master, so is one spouse in the power of the other (1 Cor. 7:4). But a slave is bound by an obligation of precept to pay his master the debt of his service according to Rom. 13:7, Render … to all men their dues, tribute to whom tribute is due, etc. Therefore husband and wife are mutually bound to the payment of the marriage debt.[1]
-very first commandment in the bible “go, be fruitful and multiply”
Whether the Husband is bound to pay the debt even if his wife does not ask for it?
I answer that, The debt may be demanded in two ways. First, explicitly, as when they ask one another by words; secondly, implicitly, when namely the husband knows by certain signs that the wife would wish him to pay the debt, but is silent through shame. And so even though she does not ask for the debt explicitly in words, the husband is bound to pay it, whenever his wife shows signs of wishing him to do so.[2]
WHETHER HUSBAND AND WIFE ARE EQUAL IN THE MARRIAGE ACT?[3]
I answer that, Equality is twofold, of quantity and of proportion. Equality of quantity is that which is observed between two quantities of the same measure, for instance a thing two cubits long and another two cubits in length. But equality of proportion is that which is observed between two proportions of the same kind as double to double. Accordingly, speaking of the first equality, husband and wife are not equal in marriage; neither as regards the marriage act, wherein the more noble part is due to the husband, nor as regards the household management, wherein the wife is ruled and the husband rules. But with reference to the second kind of equality, they are equal in both matters, because just as in both the marriage act and in the management of the household the husband is bound to the wife in all things pertaining to the husband, so is the wife bound to the husband in all things pertaining to the wife. It is in this sense that it is stated in the text (iv. Sent. D. 32) that they are equal in paying and demanding the debt.[4]
WHETHER HUSBAND AND WIFE CAN TAKE A VOW CONTRARY TO THE MARRIAGE DEBT WITHOUT THEIR MUTUAL CONSENT?[5]
I answer that, no.
WHETHER IT IS FORBIDDEN TO DEMAND THE DEBT ON HOLY DAYS?[6]
I answer that, Although the marriage act is void of sin, nevertheless since it oppresses the reason on account of the carnal pleasure, it renders man unfit for spiritual things. Therefore, on those days when one ought especially to give one’s time to spiritual things, it is not lawful to ask for the debt.[7]
WHETHER IT IS A MORTAL SIN TO ASK FOR THE DEBT AT A HOLY TIME?[8]
I answer that, To ask for the debt on a feast day is not a circumstance drawing a sin into another species; wherefore it cannot aggravate infinitely. Consequently a wife or husband does not sin mortally by asking for the debt on a feast day. It is however a more grievous sin to ask for the sake of mere pleasure, than through fear of the weakness of the flesh.[9]
WHETHER ONE SPOUSE IS BOUND TO PAY THE DEBT TO THE OTHER AT A FESTAL TIME?[10]
I answer that, Since the wife has power of her husband’s body, and vice versa, with regard to the act of procreation, the one is bound to pay the debt to the other, at any season or hour, with due regard to the decorum required in such matters, for this must not be done at once openly.[11]

The Dignity of the Human Person w/ Amanda Achtman

EP42 - Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

A celebration of faith and music: The Litany of St. Joseph in Song
On a remarkable evening in Calgary, the Catholic community gathered for a joyous and family-friendly musical event, one that resonated with men, women, and children alike. This spiritually uplifting concert was a tribute to the power of faith expressed through music, offering a rich blend of tradition, talent, and devotion.
Held in honor of St. Joseph&mdash;the Patron Saint of Canada&mdash;the event brought together voices from across the Diocese of Calgary. Selected choirs from various parishes performed sacred music that echoed the dignity and strength of this holy figure. These harmonious offerings set the tone for an unforgettable evening of reverence and unity.
At the heart of the evening was the world premiere of an original musical setting of the Litany of St. Joseph. Composed and conducted by Alberta&rsquo;s own Carlos Foggin&mdash;an award-winning maestro known for his dynamic leadership&mdash;this debut was the crescendo of the night. It marked not just a musical milestone but a spiritual one, inviting all in attendance into a deeper reflection on the virtues of St. Joseph.
The concert was more than a performance; it was a prayer in song, a communal act of praise during the 2025 Jubilee Year Celebrations. As part of the global theme Pilgrims of Hope, the evening offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness history through harmony and faith.
This recording captures the spirit of the event&mdash;its reverence, its joy, and its call to unity through music. We invite you to experience this sacred celebration and to stay connected for more spiritual opportunities in the days ahead.

St. Pope John Paul the II memorably observed that the Catholic Church comes from the eucharist and that the eucharist, in turn, comes from priests. As Bishop Barron noted in a recent letter to his diocese, "by an inescapable logic [therefore] no priests, no Church." We should add, however, that priests come from bishops, which expands the ecclesial logic to this: no bishops, no priests; no priests, no eucharist; no eucharist, no church. In other words, bishops not only hold an important administrative position within the Church; tracing their authority back to the apostles and, ultimately, to Jesus Christ himself, they constitute the very sacramental and liturgical foundation of Catholicism itself. That, to say the least, is a weighty responsibility. So what is it like to be a bishop? How does one come to hold this office? What, specifically, do bishops have authority over–and what don't they have authority over? What kind of relationship do they have with each other and with the Holy Father, the pope? What are their day-to-day obligations and activities? And what are some challenges they face that both clergy and laity may not be aware of? A listener asks what made Bishop Barron want to be a priest. Topics Covered: 01:38 | Bishop Barron's Thanksgiving in Chicago 02:45 | The origins of the office of bishop 04:51 | The theological dimension of the bishop's role 06:41 | The liturgical symbols of the office 10:45 | Bishop Barron's coat of arms 12:12 | How does one become a bishop? 16:10 | How are dioceses formed? 17:20 | Relating bishop to archbishop 18:51 | Understanding the bishop's authority 20:03 | What is a chancery? 21:03 | Essential tasks of the bishop 29:38 | Bishop Barron's approach to his official duties 33:01 | The meaning and authority of a conference of bishops 37:19 | Myths about Catholic bishops 40:06 | Listener question: What made you become a priest? 41:41 | Join the Word on Fire Institute <a href= "Links:">Links:</a> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>United States Conference of Catholic Bishops: <a href= "https://www.usccb.org/">https://www.usccb.org/</a></li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

In college he had been a middle linebacker on the football team at the University of San Diego, a Catholic college where he also ran track for them, setting the school shot put and discus records. For approximately 25 years now he has been running a chiropractic sports clinic in the Pacific northwest where for years he has served numerous sports teams and events in roles such as medical director, team doctor, head drug tester, and team chiropractor.

"Education cannot be neutral. It is either positive or negative. Either it enriches or it impoverishes... True education enables us to love life and opens us to the fullness of life." 
 
In this episode, we're joined by Kimberly Cichon, a mother of six and candidate for Calgary Catholic School District trustee, to explore the future of Catholic education. Our discussion delves into:
 
- Her personal journey from Protestant Christianity to Catholicism through teaching children's liturgy, highlighting how education can be a pathway to deeper faith
- The unique value of publicly funded Catholic education in Alberta and the importance of protecting this system while acknowledging its challenges
- The delicate balance between maintaining Catholic identity in schools while welcoming and serving a diverse student population
- Her discernment process in deciding to run for trustee, including spiritual direction and prayer that led to this decision- The critical role of parents as primary educators and how to navigate school choices for different children's needs
- Finding hope in Catholic education despite cultural challenges, and the importance of "leaning in" rather than abandoning Catholic institutions
- Practical wisdom for parents discerning educational choices, emphasizing the need for prayer and understanding each child's unique needs

BONUS EPISODE: Advocating for the Future of Catholic Education with Kimberly Cichon

Habemus Papam! The Church has a new pope—and he’s from Chicago.
In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob react with joy, awe, and a healthy dose of disbelief to the election of Pope Leo XIV, a South Side Chicago native and fellow “Bob.” The first American pontiff, Leo XIV is an Augustinian, missionary, canon lawyer, and lifelong baseball fan with deep roots in both Villanova and Peru. His election is already making waves—and memes.
Before diving into Vatican news, the hosts process a different kind of drama: sports heartbreak. Bob relives the Cleveland Cavaliers’ playoff collapse—one for the record books—and the deep disappointment that followed. Father Dave offers perspective (and a hopeful prediction) before they shift gears to highlight Franciscan University's Commencement weekend. From Mary Rice Hasson’s bold defense of the human person to Bishop Andrew Cozzens’ catechetical preaching, the event was a joyful witness to faith and truth.
Finally, they unpack the significance of the name Leo, what this new pope may prioritize, and how the legacy of Pope Leo XIII—with his groundbreaking encyclicals on labor, justice, and the Holy Spirit—may resonate in the years ahead.
From Chicago sports to conclave suspense, from Catholic memes to Marian devotion, this episode is a fast-paced blend of humor, reverence, and hope for the Church’s future under a pope who, as Bob puts it, “plays Wordle with his brother and orders from Wawa.”

What happens when Catholic men stop simply showing up for Mass and start truly showing up for one another? In this powerful conversation, leaders from the Central Texas Fellowship of Catholic Men reveal how dynamic men&rsquo;s groups are building stronger friendships, deeper faith, and a culture of mentorship across parishes.&nbsp;
From a local group that grew to 80 men meeting every week to a network reaching roughly 50 parishes, they share a simple vision: strengthen the man, strengthen the family; strengthen the family, strengthen the parish; strengthen the parish, and you can change the culture. Along the way, they explore the importance of fellowship, prayer, intergenerational mentorship, and giving younger men the wisdom they often wish they&rsquo;d received decades earlier. It&rsquo;s a compelling look at what can happen when ordinary men answer the call, build authentic brotherhood, and take responsibility for passing their faith to the next generation.

The key to our bourbon is our high malted barley content in our mashbill. By investing in our bourbon and using four times more malted barley than traditional recipes, we’ve created a non-traditional bourbon that generates sweet and light components. The malted barley combined with the spicy essence of clove from the rye, and the classic rich bourbon character from the corn, amounts to a robust and smooth taste profile.

<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.

Catholic psychologist Dr. Gregory Bottaro&nbsp;joins&nbsp;A Reason for Hope Podcast&nbsp;to explore why much of secular mental health care is falling short and how integrating&nbsp;faith and psychology&nbsp;offers a more complete path to healing. He shares his journey of discerning a religious vocation with the&nbsp;Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, his mentorship under&nbsp;Fr. Benedict Groeschel, and the deep spiritual wisdom behind&nbsp;Abandonment to Divine Providence. We discuss how&nbsp;faith&nbsp;can transform psychological practices, the impact of&nbsp;sin&nbsp;on mental health, and how the&nbsp;CatholicPsych Institute’s Mentorship model, launched just before the pandemic, is reshaping the landscape of&nbsp;Catholic therapy. Dr. Bottaro also explains the unique approach of&nbsp;Catholic Mindfulness&nbsp;compared to Eastern practices, highlights the saints who have inspired his work, and gives a preview of the upcoming&nbsp;CatholicPsych Institute Summit. ✨Follow our podcast! <a href="https://aoh.lnk.to/jqWMe4CH" target="_blank">https://aoh.lnk.to/jqWMe4CH</a> - Support Our Sponsors -<a href="https://bit.ly/44nYYUw" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;">Scapulars.com</a> - Divine protection in life and in death with the most durable, comfortable scapulars ever made.<a href="https://bit.ly/3RYoVVl" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;">Follow My Camino</a> - Whether you are interested in a fully planned trip, partially guided trip, or in assistance in planning your self-guided trip, Follow My Camino will make sure your Pilgrimage to the Camino is as amazing as it can be. - Connect with us -<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Facebook</a><a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Instagram</a><a href="https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Youtube</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/podcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Website</a> - Connect with CatholicPsych - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/catholicpsych/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CatholicPsych" target="_blank">Facebook</a><a href="https://x.com/catholicpsych" target="_blank">X</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/catholicpsych/" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://catholicpsych.com" target="_blank">Website</a> ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction02:20 Start of Interview 03:29 The Mental Health Crisis and Secular Psychology08:23 Formation and Spirituality in Psychology11:38 Abandonment to Divine Providence14:04 Integrating Faith and Psychology15:43 Scapulars.com16:28 Follow My Camino 17:10 Mentorship Program at Catholic Psych Institute22:19 The Relationship Between Sin and Psychological Health27:01 Exploring Catholic Mindfulness30:01 The Catholic Perspective on Mindfulness35:29 Influential Saints and Their Impact38:47 CatholicPsych Institute Summit 40:16 Chapter: The Relationship Between Faith and Mental Health42:54 Future Directions for Catholic Psych

2024 Heroic Leadership Summit

Why does modern culture feel so confused, divided, and disconnected from truth?In this episode of A Reason for Hope, host Mario Costabile sits down with Catholic author, speaker, and philosopher Bobby Angel to unpack the postmodern predicament—how we arrived here, why ideas truly have consequences, and how the Catholic faith offers clarity, hope, and healing in a fractured world. Drawing from philosophy, theology, culture, and lived experience, Bobby explains:What postmodernism really is (and what it’s rebelling against)Why truth, beauty, and meaning matter for human flourishingHow relativism and subjectivism fuel cultural confusionThe connection between philosophy, mental health, and identityHow Catholics can respond to gender dysphoria, polarization, and digital chaos with truth and compassionWhy faith and reason must work together, not against each otherHow the Church can evangelize boldly—without losing mercyThis conversation tackles some of the most pressing issues facing parents, educators, young adults, and the Church today—while offering a hopeful roadmap grounded in Christ, the saints, and the beauty of the Catholic intellectual tradition. -Support our Sponsors-<a href="https://bit.ly/44nYYUw" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Scapulars.com</a>&nbsp;- Divine protection in life and death with the most durable, comfortable scapulars ever made. -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/events/" 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 Bobby-Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bobby.angel" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/bobby.angel</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/p/Bobby-Angel-100063830525523/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/p/Bobby-Angel-100063830525523/</a>Website: <a href="https://jackieandbobby.com" target="_blank">https://jackieandbobby.com</a>Mentoring: <a href="https://catholicpsych.com/bobby" target="_blank">https://catholicpsych.com/bobby</a> ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction 01:12 Start of Interview 02:22 Exploring the Postmodern Predicament06:16 Why Ideas Have Consequences10:15 Common Philosophical Dilemmas in Our Society 12:50 Navigating Truth in the Digital Age 17:12 Postmodernism and Political Division22:13 Navigating Information Overload and Discerning Truth27:43 The Church's Role in Digital Evangelization30:22 Understanding Gender Dysphoria in a Postmodern Context37:04 The Role of Adults in Guiding Youth39:39 How Bobby's book can help!42:45 Final Remarks

AI, Sex Robots & Becoming Human Again (Michael Gormley) | Ep. 592

Anand Bheemarasetti is a modern missionary, business entrepreneur, media specialist, and community organizer who has dedicated himself to a life of service by following the inspiration of St. Mother Theresa of Calcutta. After outfitting the BeatiDudes with traditional Indian clothing, Anand shares his story of his roots and his transition to the United States. He had moved to Nebraska and was searching for a place to fit in. He was welcomed by a family who helped to set him on the right path. He was brought into various programs at his parish and started hanging out with seminarians, too. Then, he was introduced to FOCUS through a Bible study that blew his mind. These young people were sharing faith and praying together outside of church. He also attended the FOCUS conference later that year. While meeting with his spiritual director, it became clear that Anand’s vocation would not be priesthood. Instead, he set his sights on joining FOCUS as a missionary. His first year as a missionary was spent at Bradley University, followed by Illinois State University and the University of Colorado in Boulder, before he worked in marketing at the FOCUS headquarters. At the start of FOCUS, Anand knew about the one-year rule of no dating, so he started a friendship with the young lady who would eventually become his wife. Their courtship story is a great testament to building a strong foundation and playing the long game. Anand shares the inspiration that led to his current nonprofit. He had led mission trips to India and then started a media effort to bring Catholicism to YouTube through a series called Ask a Bishop. Then he decided to make a documentary in both Calcutta and Rome during the time of Mother Theresa’s canonization. As he started editing the footage, he heard the words repeatedly, “Find your own Calcutta.” That led to the start of Project Finding Calcutta, a service-focused ministry that provides opportunities for people to gather each week to perform corporal works of mercy. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a fed-up waiter or waitress to address the prompt, “I saw visions of ____ after _____.” Follow <a href="https://www.projectfindingcalcutta.com/">Project Finding Calcutta</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

Find Your Own Calcutta | Anand Bheemarasetti | Episode #145

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.

Spiritual Authority, Purgatory and Praying Against The Demonic

The BeatiDudes - Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein - enter sacred territory with Fr. John Paul Kern, a Dominican Friar from New York City. Broadcasting once again from Catholics at the Shore, we dig deep into the heart of identity, the trials of discernment, and the peace that comes only from total surrender to God.Fr. John Paul shares his vocation story, his thoughts on monastic community, and the real cost of saying “yes” to God. It’s a conversation that swings from Notre Dame dorm-room conversions to monastery silence, from struggles with pride to joyful humility. Oh, and Jeff totally forgets what question he was asking (again).Highlights:• “A priest’s job is to get out of the way so the faithful can encounter Christ.”• The danger of identity confusion in today’s world - and how the monastery offers clarity.• Father’s advice for men discerning: “Listen, then move. Stop chasing certainty.”Fr. John Paul’s Wisdom Drop:“The more we receive who we are from God, the less we feel the need to define it for ourselves.”<h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a> <a href="https://www.davemooremusic.com/">Dave Moore Music</a>

Terrifying Stories of Real Exorcisms (Fr. Vincent Lampert) | Ep. 479

"I went from reading only business and political stuff to tearing through spiritual books. After my conversion experience, I had an all-consuming desire to be closer to God, to go into the desert for healing, to allow Him to work on me and transform me. It was like a very powerful magnet just pulling at me. I wanted to give myself completely to God because He had given Himself completely to me."Today we're joined by John Cannon, founder of Sent Ventures, whose remarkable journey took him from...

WOF 479: Bishop Barron on the Theology of Balthasar (10 of 12)

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

Thorns in the Flesh: The Battle for Faith and Manhood in a Modern World

Every time we use God’s name in vain or let profanity slip from our lips, we do real damage—to our relationship with God, to our character, and to those who hear us. These words are not harmless; they scar the soul, weaken our witness, and erode the honor and holiness God calls us to.

Ep 17: Is Cursing Costing You?

There are no “deacons” in the Old Testament in the strict, sacramental sense as understood by the Church today. The diaconate emerges explicitly in the New Testament (see Acts 6:1–6) where men are set apart for service (diakonia) within the apostolic community. Deacon Harold opens up today's discussion.

Matt Fradd Makes Jeff Cavins Feel Uncomfortable | Ep. 426

<h3>We’re back, and life got real</h3>It has been the lightest recording stretch the show has had in almost ten years. Adam owns the delay and explains why. Since the last episode, baby Mary arrived very early at around 27 weeks and about two pounds. She was baptized immediately, and there is a question about whether she was also confirmed due to the use of holy oils and the circumstances.A few days after birth, Mary underwent an intense and invasive surgery that lasted more than six hours. The surgeon later said it was the hardest operation he had ever performed. The procedure connected her esophagus to her stomach, and the family is now living the day to day reality of the NICU: small adjustments, constant monitoring, and a careful balance with oxygen, blood pressure, heart rate, and long term risks.<h3>The charity that is hard to receive</h3>A theme that keeps surfacing is gratitude, and how hard it can be to receive help when you want to be in control. Adam and David thank listeners for prayers, meals, transportation help, and the quiet generosity that shows up when you least expect it.They give a major shoutout to the Ronald McDonald House, which provided a place for the family to stay near the hospital, along with meals and support that would have been financially impossible otherwise. Adam also mentions friends and patrons who opened their homes and brought food. It is a reminder that “village” is not a cliché when your world turns upside down.Also, in the middle of all this, Adam’s son Leo drops a classic kid moment at Mass: during a serious homily he leans over and asks when he will get to meet J.B. Mooney, the professional bull rider. Fatherhood keeps you humble.<h3>What they’re drinking</h3>David brings a bottle from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society featuring Royal Brackla. The tasting notes are ridiculous in the best way, described like “dessert in the workshop,” with custard, toffee chunks, marshmallow, and an unexpected “carpenter’s shop” vibe. It even has a hint of iodine that makes David think of Islay, without the heavy peat and smoke.<h3>A relic in the hotel room</h3>A priest from the diocese drops off a first class relic of St. Gemma, telling Adam to keep it while the family walks through this trial. Adam and David talk about the reality of having the body of a saint in the room with you, and the comfort that brings, especially when the road ahead is long.<h3>Lent and temperance: not a “no,” but a “yes”</h3>The episode’s main topic is temperance, framed as the Lenten virtue that touches everything. The simple kid definition they love is: temperance is having a healthy amount of everything. Not perfect, but memorable.They push back against the idea that temperance is just restriction. Temperance is not merely refusing the extra piece of cake. It is also the positive ordering of your life so you can say yes to the right things at the right time in the right way: exercise, prayer, rest, work, family presence, joy, celebration.The key theme: virtue is always a yes. The “no” exists to protect the “yes.”<h3>St. John Cassian and the “bread” of Sodom</h3>One of the most interesting turns comes from St. John Cassian’s Institutes. Cassian argues that Sodom’s first sin was not the obvious sin people associate with Sodom and Gomorrah. He points to Ezekiel and emphasizes surplus, abundance, and gluttony. Cassian’s logic is that the disorder starts low and spreads upward: feed the appetite, then the passions grow louder, the will weakens, and eventually the mind rationalizes what it should never have chosen.They connect this to the common sense link between food appetites and sexual appetites. If you cannot curb the basic, you will struggle to curb the higher.A line that lands: If you can’t say no, your yes means nothing.<h3>Pleasure, pain, and spiritual clarity</h3>Adam shares a sharp thought: pleasure clouds judgment faster than pain. Suffering, especially voluntary suffering, tends to focus the mind. It wakes you up and forces clarity. That is why fasting can sharpen spiritual vision. It reveals attachments you thought you did not have.They bring in Father Anselm Stolz’s point: ascetic practices are not the end. The end is contemplation, union with God, and becoming more like Christ. The danger for men is turning Lent into an achievement badge, turning penance into pride, and making the self the center.<h3>Temperance orders the whole man</h3>They outline a hierarchy: God, reason, will, passions, body. Temperance helps keep the order intact, so the higher rules the lower and the lower serves the higher. When the passions take the driver’s seat, the will becomes a servant, reason gets distorted, and you can rationalize sin quickly or slowly over years.They also emphasize something many men miss: the temperate man feasts. Feasting well matters. If you do not fast, you will not feast well. If you cannot feast temperately, your fasting might be more about control than freedom.<h3>Practical takeaways for dads</h3>One of the best “take this home” moments is teaching kids delayed gratification. The classic M&amp;M test becomes a simple, memorable way to form a child in temperance. Kids have wildly different reactions, and that is the point. You are building the muscle of waiting for the greater good.They also offer a gut check for adults: a good test of temperance is how you feast, not only how you fast. If Sundays turn into chaos, bingeing, and excuses, something is off. The goal is freedom.<h3>Closing thought</h3>Lent is a season of no so you can say yes. Mastery before glory. The Christian life is not an empty handed life. It is abundance in the right order.

About our drink:

Johnny Walker - High Rye

A mastery of blending to create a bold, new offering. It tempts palates with a revolutionary taste profile that can only be born from the powerful blend of key Johnnie Walker Black Label tasting notes and rye whisky flavors. Johnnie Walker High Rye Blended Scotch Whisky features a unique mash bill of 60% rye aged in American oak barrels, and includes notable single malts from distilleries such as Cardhu, an important part of the Johnnie Walker Black Label flavor. The result is a balance of sweet vanilla notes and the spiciness of rye that become revealed through subtle wisps of warm smoke.

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.

Each of us is called in our own unrepeatable way to continue the “work” of creation. Our path to salvation is through our participation in the redemptive work of Christ. In Episode Three, Andreas Widmer explains that we are made in the image of a creating God. Therefore we are creative beings and we call that creating “work”. He explores how we are invited to participate in the redemptive work of Jesus through our daily work.

The Spirituality of Work | The Gospel of Work | E3

Deacon Harold & Ace McKay cue up the playlist to talk about "Freewill" by RUSH

Playist Edition: Freewill

Jesus boldly proclaimed, "I am the way, the truth, and the life". In order to be His disciple, one must make Jesus Christ the foundation of life and proclaim His Lordship in every area of life. Much like the rose window in Chartres Cathedral, a well ordered soul revolves around the great center, which is Christ. In this episode, Bishop Robert Barron begins a series called The Eight Principles of the Word on Fire Ethos with this key principle, namely, "Christocentrism".

WOF 073: Making Christ the Center of Your Life

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.

Day 40 – I Battle Porn by Perpetually Pursuing Chastity

There is a question that men ask me all the time. How do you know if you’ve really changed? If you’ve really healed? If you’re actually becoming the man God created you to be?

This week, we wrap up our Power Made Perfect series with the final step: Restoration.

And here’s the truth: a restored life isn’t a perfect life. You’ll still struggle. You’ll still be tempted. You’ll still fall sometimes. The difference is that you don’t have to respond the way you used to. When that changes, you start to see the difference in who you used to be and who you are becoming. Restoration is coming to understand whose you are, who you are, and then beginning to live in and through that relationship each day of your life.

In this episode, we talk about:
🔹Why restoration is a lifelong process
🔹The difference between reacting from your wounds and responding from Christ
🔹Why suffering doesn’t disappear when you follow Jesus
🔹How to recognize the evidence that you really are changing
🔹How the entire Power Made Perfect process becomes a way of life

One of the biggest things I’ve learned is this: I’m not who I used to be—but I’m also not yet who God is making me into.

That’s restoration. Not perfection. Not the absence of struggle. It’s a lifelong journey that I can look forward to each and every day. With every success and every difficulty, there is an opportunity to learn and a chance to become more like Christ.

Power Made Perfect: Living a Restored Life

Keith Mack is a man of courage and charity. 
Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein meet Keith at the intersection of grit and grace as he shares his journey from Northwestern ROTC to flying the EA-6B Prowler, then into a vocation of fatherhood, parish service at St. Ann in Coppell, and board leadership with For Us the pro-life nonprofit that places ultrasound machines and now connects centers through a national Guardian Angel tech network. 
Keith explains why an ultrasound can move hearts to choose life, how Knights of Columbus amplify the mission, and why regular Eucharistic adoration at 5 a.m. keeps him anchored. The crew revisits the Napa Institute connection, laughs through Top Gun references and car-brand confusion, and then receives a surprise on-air gift as Keith presents three custom BeatiDudes rosaries he made and already prayed over with his family. From counsel for seminarians to the beauty of the Latin Mass to building Catholic community in North Texas, this conversation is equal parts joyful fraternity and serious discipleship, ending exactly where it should… in prayer.

Grit and Grace, A Life of Service | Keith Mack | Episode #273

Deacon Harold celebrates the Feast of St. Peter Claver as we look into the Church & Salvery.

The Church and Slavery

The hope we have been given by Christ who has transformed death. Deacon Harold & Ace McKay talk about The Elderly & the Fear of Death.

The Elderly & the Fear of Death

Tim Glemkowski doesn't just talk about faith; he challenges you to step up and experience the transformative power of the Eucharist. He’s calling out the difference between going through the motions and living a faith that’s real, conscious, and deeply personal. In a world that’s moved beyond Christendom, Glemkowski pushes the Church to embrace a "missionary conversion"—a complete shift in how we reach people. It starts with a deep encounter with Christ in the Eucharist, setting the faithful on fire and driving them to take action in the world.Glemkowski lays down a four-pillar framework for Eucharistic intimacy: encounter, identity, life, and mission. This isn’t just about feeling good; it’s about living a life of trust, obedience, and self-surrender that has real impact. The Eucharistic Revival, as he sees it, is a wake-up call for the Church in the U.S. to reconnect with its Eucharistic core, fueling a renewal in liturgy, personal faith, and missionary drive. Glemkowski challenges us to make the Eucharist the source and summit of our lives, turning our faith into a force that makes a difference in the world.About the 2024 Summit: The Heroic Leadership Summit is the annual, no-nonsense, cutting-edge event for Catholic men hungry for serious growth in their faith journey. Brought to you by the Catholic Men’s Leadership Alliance, join the best of the best in leadership and training together, one all-star weekend geared to ignite, equip, and grow ministry to men.

The 7 Liberal Arts with Andrew Pudewa

Manhood & Identity

Jason Shanks doesn&rsquo;t just talk about transformation&mdash;he lived it. After a near-death experience with COVID-19, Shanks discovered the absolute necessity of divine intimacy with God. As a convert to Catholicism, he learned firsthand how the Holy Spirit pulls people into faith, showing that real connection with God is about relationship, not just ritual.
His battle with COVID-19 wasn&rsquo;t just physical; it was spiritual warfare. Prayer and the intercession of his community were game-changers in his recovery. Shanks dives deep into what intimacy with God really means, comparing it to the covenant of marriage and the Eucharist.&nbsp;
He challenges men to strip away the distractions of the world, embrace vulnerability, and fight for their spiritual lives. This is about building authentic relationships with God and each other&mdash;no shortcuts, no compromises.

Experiencing Divine Intimacy with Jason Shanks

AJ Garcia and Pat Masterson explain how personal invitations, parish leadership teams, streamed conference resources, confession, prayer, and ordinary friendship can bring men back to Christ, strengthen fathers, renew families, and revive parish life. They also reveal how local leaders can launch a men&rsquo;s group with a small core team, support from pastors without adding extra work, and a willingness to invite one man at a time.
