What if the end of your life was today&mdash;would it matter how you lived? In this gripping and raw reflection, &ldquo;Final Goal&rdquo; confronts the ultimate truth: you are going to die. And that&rsquo;s not a threat&mdash;it&rsquo;s a wake-up call. From a spit-take over a shocking book line to the death of a teenage hockey player, every story in this chapter is a reminder that life is short, fragile, and urgent. But more than fear, it offers purpose.

Jesus enters Jerusalem at Passover as a King in preparation for His Passion - Palm Sunday - March 29, 2026 - Mt 21:1-11

Men treat Lent as optional. However, if this were the case, Christ would NOT have begun His public ministry with the command to repent. Yet most Catholic men approach Lent as if it were extra credit — giving something up, struggling through forty days, and returning to the same patterns unchanged. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt discuss the real reason Lent exists. Penance is not a spiritual accessory, and conversion is not reserved for dramatic moments of crisis. Lent is ordered toward metanoia, a real turning away from sin and a deliberate turning toward Christ. 
Together, they clarify what penance actually means in Scripture and tradition, why many men resist it, and why discipline without direction produces little lasting fruit. Most importantly, they lay out a concrete three-step plan to help men structure Lent intentionally, not as a seasonal effort, but as a path toward becoming like Christ.

The Ultimate Plan for Lent

&quot;I believe the Lord has a raging fire spirit in Him. God the Father is this kind of passionate God.&quot; Join us for a profound conversation with Matthew Pinto, founder of Ascension Press, as we dive deep into the intersection of Catholic faith and entrepreneurship. Matthew shares his inspiring journey of how embracing his faith transformed him from a young entrepreneur into a leading figure in Catholic publishing and media.Our discussion covers:<ul><li>The unique challenges and rewards of building successful ventures within the Catholic ecosystem.</li><li>How Matthew’s early entrepreneurial experiences and family background shaped his innovative mindset.</li><li>His transformative conversion journey ignited by evangelical evangelization, leading to a profound commitment to the Catholic faith.</li><li>Why integrating secular skills into church initiatives can initially feel jarring but ultimately be incredibly fruitful.</li><li>The importance of risk-taking, passion, and prudent boldness in Catholic entrepreneurship.</li><li>Practical lessons Matthew learned while growing Ascension Press from a single book project to a globally recognized Catholic publisher.</li><li>Essential spiritual safeguards Matthew recommends, such as consecration, tithing, regular confession, and cultivating a generous spirit.</li><li>Why Matthew emphasizes maintaining a balance between work, family, physical health, and spiritual well-being.</li></ul>Matthew candidly shares insights into common entrepreneurial pitfalls, such as neglecting personal well-being, failing to celebrate wins, and undervaluing strategic leverage. He explains the concept of &quot;booze, bingo, and dancing&quot; to illustrate Catholicism&#39;s confident and balanced approach to engaging with the secular world without compromising faith.Whether you&#39;re building a Catholic venture, wrestling with workplace ethics, or discerning how to authentically live your faith through your career, Matthew&#39;s wisdom offers essential guidance for aligning professional ambition with eternal values.Resources:<ul><li>The Genesis Group: <a href="https://catholicfund.com/">https://catholicfund.com</a></li><li>Catholic Catalyst: <a href="https://catholiccatalyst.com/">https://catholiccatalyst.com</a></li></ul>We want to hear from you!

Entrepreneurial Evangelization with Matthew Pinto (Founder of Ascension Press and Theology of the Body Institute)

Lent is not about checking a box or proving how disciplined you can be. It is about bringing your whole heart back to God. In this episode, John and Victor reflect on what real conversion looks like and why simply giving something up is not the same as returning to the Lord. Drawing from Joel’s call to “rend your hearts, not your garments,” they challenge listeners to move beyond surface-level sacrifices and into true interior change.

If you have ever treated Lent as routine or felt unsure how to make it meaningful, this conversation is an invitation to start again. Return with your whole heart, and let God do more than adjust your habits.

WOF 442: Dante Ascends the Paradiso

This no-nonsense, gut-punching, soul-waking series is a firestarter for any man ready to stop drifting and start living with holy purpose. With raw humor, spiritual grit, and deeply personal stories, Father Larry Richards challenges Catholic men to step into their true identity&mdash;not just as believers, but as beloved sons, courageous warriors, and men of God.

Be a Man! with Fr Larry Richards 

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

Explosive Rage & Father Wounds — Finding Freedom & Healing | Bob Kroll | Ep 14

What if the deepest truth about you isn&rsquo;t your failures&mdash;but that you are loved? In &ldquo;Beloved Son,&rdquo; the most essential chapter of the book, we get a powerful reminder of our true identity&mdash;not as sinners, but as sons. This isn&rsquo;t just theory. It&rsquo;s personal, emotional, and deeply spiritual. Centered around Mark 1:11, where the Father says to Jesus, &ldquo;You are my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,&rdquo; this talk calls every man to hear those words for himself&mdash;and to believe them. <a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

"We are witnesses of these things, as is the Holy Spirit that God has given to those who obey him." - Acts 5:32The Holy Spirit gives witness to Jesus. We are not able to understand fully who Jesus is on our own strength, intellect, and power. The Holy Spirit aids us in moving from our limited intellectual perception of who Christ is and what he has done for us to a life-changing understanding of Christ. It is also the Holy Spirit that inspires us to give witness to Christ by our words and actions. This segment will look at how we are best able to cooperate with the Holy Spirit so that we may see Jesus as he is and give witness to him.<a href="https://wildgoose.tv/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Wild Goose Website</a> | <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hOAVbPbyXfzLijwZdhtcqa9_9bHFiff1/view?usp=drive_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Study Guide</a>

The Spirit's Witness | Episode 13

What happens when more boys have smartphones than fathers in their homes? A groundbreaking UK research study called 'Lost Boys' has revealed alarming trends about young men today. John Heinen and Devin Schadt welcome back three-time guest Jim O'Day to respond to and unpack this landmark research and its implications. Together, they examine how the critical absence of male role models—particularly fathers—is creating a generation of directionless young men. The conversation highlights shocking statistics: women in their 20s are consistently out-earning their male counterparts, and young men are afraid to talk to women. The trio explores how fatherlessness, education failures, technology addiction, pornography exposure, and society's ignoring of men are ruining the future of humanity. While secular solutions continue to fall short, John, Devin, and Jim present both immediate interventions and long-term approaches rooted in timeless Catholic wisdom.

The No.1 Reason Boys Don't Grow Up: We are Making Dangerous, Depressed, and Lonely Men!

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.

151: Mindfulness, Self-Care, & Dealing W/ Stress, with Dr. Gerry Crete

What if the biggest thing holding men back... was the pain they never talk about?
In this raw and revealing episode, Catholic men&rsquo;s coach Kenneth Harouff joins Sean to unpack the hidden struggles men carry&mdash;addiction, isolation, spiritual burnout, emotional wounds&mdash;and why just &ldquo;being more spiritual&rdquo; isn&rsquo;t enough. With honesty and deep compassion, Kenneth shares how real healing begins when men stop hiding, start reaching out, and surround themselves with wise, courageous brothers.
You&rsquo;ll learn how spiritual bypass keeps men stuck, why vulnerability is the key to transformation, and what practical steps any man can take right now to begin healing. From confronting past trauma to building authentic brotherhood, this episode gives you a new lens for understanding what real strength looks like.
Whether you&rsquo;re battling burnout or just sensing something&rsquo;s off, this is a call to stop going it alone&mdash;and start becoming the man God created you to be.

Men today are under siege. Our faith is mocked. Our masculinity is sidelined. Brotherhood fails around us. It’s a crisis like we’ve never seen before. How do we turn it around? | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https:/heroicmen.org/alliance">Join the Heroic Alliance | Learn more!</a>500 years before Christ, King Nebuchadnezzar, the greatest warrior-king of the Babylonian empire rounded up and targeted the best Hebrew young men. He brainwashed their religion out of them, stripped them of their Hebrew identity, and demanded that they abandon their God - or face death.Today, Big Tech and broken education are brainwashing our children. Our youth have been robbed of their Christian identity. We are being challenged to abandon God. In those days of Hebrew persecution, Daniel and three men of heroic virtue refused to back down. They set an example of unfailing heroism in the middle of a brutal culture siege.What kind of men are we today? Do we know how to step up and take a stand for our faith, our families, and our future?Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers challenges men to join him live for a half hour of powerful storytelling, practical wisdom, and a roadmap to build the habits of a Heroic Man."Knowing that other men share my experience in this siege against my faith, my family, and my brothers, is crucial.

Living the CALL

Legendary radio broadcaster Kevin Matthews takes us on a journey that’s anything but ordinary. From the heights of a high-profile career to a profound spiritual awakening, everything shifted when he stumbled upon a broken statue of the Virgin Mary in a dumpster. That moment marked the beginning of a new chapter. Now, battling multiple sclerosis and the loss of his job, Kevin shares how he rediscovered God and found unshakable hope through raw, personal encounters with Mary.

Broken but Loved, with Kevin Matthews 

Deacon Harold helps us to break down God's gifts in our lives and how we improv to serve Him. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 1:1-6 from today's Mass.

The Bible and Improvisation

The fathers of the Second Vatican Council referred to the Eucharist as the source and summit of the Christian life, that from which authentic Christianity flows and that toward which it tends. Yet a recent Pew Forum study found that only 30% of church-going Catholics believe what the Church teaches about the Eucharist, that under the forms of bread and wine, Christ is really present in the sacrament. That alarming statistic is why Bishop Barron devoted an hour-long keynote address to the topic at the 2020 Los Angeles Religious Education Congress. Today we share the first half of his talk, which looks at the Biblical and patristic basis for the doctrine of the Real Presence, and next week we'll share the second half. Enjoy!

Ep 24: Unforgiveness - The Spiritual Prison We Unknowingly Dwell Within

The Importance of Effective Communication in the Church | Matthew Warner | R4HIn this episode, we welcome Matthew Warner, the founder of Flocknote and author of Why They Follow published by Word on Fire. We discuss how he became passionate about the Catholic Faith and felt called to use his skills as a computer engineer to spread it. We learn about how this led to him founding the communications platform Flocknote as a way to connect unconnected Catholics with the great things happening in their parishes, as well as to re-evangelize the disaffiliated. We also will dive into the reasons why so many Catholics have left the Church and what we can do to lead them back home.Host: Mario Costabile- Sponsors -Pietra Fitness: By combining stretching and strengthening exercises with Catholic prayer and meditation, Pietra Fitness workouts enrich your body, mind, and soul so you can glorify God with your entire being. <a href="https://bit.ly/3TmA3Nf">LEARN MORE</a>The University of San Diego — Lighting the Way Forward <a href="https://bit.ly/4cply2F">LEARN MORE</a>- Resources -Take our podcast survey to help us make A Reason for Hope better for YOU! <a href="https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com/">www.areasonforhopepodcast.com</a>Visit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">www.arrayofhope.org</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">watch.arrayofhope.net</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

Heroic Word is the weekly show where we reflect on the Word of God in this Sunday's Gospel. Hosted by Mike Donovan, a leadership coach with Heroic Men.

Join Mike each Thursday to reflect on the upcoming Sunday’s readings, so that our hearts are better prepared to receive our Lord and Hero in the Eucharist.&nbsp;Join Mike in the Heroic Brotherhood to share your insights and meet other men walking the same journey: https://heroicmen.circle.so/c/heroic-word/

Heroic Word

<h1 class="p1">God calls each one by name. Everyone's name is sacred. The name is the icon of the person. It demands respect as a sign of the dignity of the one who bears it. What does that mean for God's name?</h1>

About the Topic:
<div class="fluid-width-video-wrapper">
-There is power in a name.  Moses received the name of God which gave him the authority to perform miracles.
-“Our Father, who art in Heaven, Your name is Holy”
2nd commandment – Thou shalt not take the Lord’s name in vain  (CCC 2142-2167)
2142 The second commandment prescribes respect for the Lord's name. Like the first commandment, it belongs to the virtue of religion and more particularly it governs our use of speech in sacred matters.
2143 Among all the words of Revelation, there is one which is unique: the revealed name of God. God confides his name to those who believe in him; he reveals himself to them in his personal mystery. The gift of a name belongs to the order of trust and intimacy. "The Lord's name is holy." For this reason man must not abuse it. He must keep it in mind in silent, loving adoration. He will not introduce it into his own speech except to bless, praise, and glorify it.74
2146 The second commandment forbids the abuse of God's name, i.e., every improper use of the names of God, Jesus Christ, but also of the Virgin Mary and all the saints.
2147 Promises made to others in God's name engage the divine honor, fidelity, truthfulness, and authority. They must be respected in justice. To be unfaithful to them is to misuse God's name and in some way to make God out to be a liar.77
2148 Blasphemy is directly opposed to the second commandment. It consists in uttering against God - inwardly or outwardly - words of hatred, reproach, or defiance; in speaking ill of God; in failing in respect toward him in one's speech; in misusing God's name. St. James condemns those "who blaspheme that honorable name [of Jesus] by which you are called."78 The prohibition of blasphemy extends to language against Christ's Church, the saints, and sacred things. It is also blasphemous to make use of God's name to cover up criminal practices, to reduce peoples to servitude, to torture persons or put them to death. The misuse of God's name to commit a crime can provoke others to repudiate religion.
2150 The second commandment forbids false oaths. Taking an oath or swearing is to take God as witness to what one affirms. It is to invoke the divine truthfulness as a pledge of one's own truthfulness. An oath engages the Lord's name. "You shall fear the LORD your God; you shall serve him, and swear by his name."
2808 In the decisive moments of his economy God reveals his name, but he does so by accomplishing his work. This work, then, is realized for us and in us only if his name is hallowed by us and in us.
-Movie Rule: Train yourself against humor which violates the 2nd commandment

The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Discernment-Spirits-Ignatian-Everyday-Living/dp/0824522915" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">book</a>: The Discernment of Spirits: An Ignatian Guide for Everyday Living
St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits, is one of the most influential spiritual leaders of all time, yet many readers find his Rules for Discernment hard to understand. What can Ignatius teach us about the discernment of spirits that lies at the very heart of Christian life? In The Discernment of Spirits, Fr. Timothy Gallagher, a talented teacher, retreat leader, and scholar, helps us understand the Rules and how their insights are essential for our spiritual growth today. By integrating the Rules and the experience of contemporary people, Gallagher shows the precision, clarity, and insight of Ignatius's Rules, as well as the relevance of his thought for spiritual life today. When we learn to read Ignatius correctly, we discover in his remarkable words our own struggles, joys, and triumphs. This book is for all who desire greater awareness of God's action in their daily spiritual lives, and is essential reading for retreat directors, spiritual directors, priests, and counselors.
About the Topic:
<div class="fluid-width-video-wrapper">
First Rule
In persons who are going from mortal sin to mortal sin, the enemy is ordinarily accustomed to propose apparent pleasures to them, leading them to imagine sensual delights and pleasures in order to hold them more and make them grow in their vices and sins. In these persons the good spirit uses a contrary method, stinging and biting their consciences through their rational power of moral judgment.
Second Rule
In persons who are going on intensely purifying their sins and rising from good to better in the service of God our Lord, the method is contrary to that in the first rule. For then it is proper to the evil spirit to bite, sadden, and place obstacles, disquieting with false reasons, so that the person may not go forward. And it is proper to the good spirit to give courage and strength, consolations, tears, inspirations, and quiet, easing and taking away all obstacles, so that the person may go forward in doing good.
Third Rule
The third is of spiritual consolation. I call it consolation when some interior movement is caused in the soul, through which the soul comes to be inflamed with love of its creator and Lord, and, consequently when it can love no created thing on the face of the earth in itself, but only in the Creator of them all. Likewise when it sheds tears that move to love of its Lord, whether out of sorrow for one’s sins, or for the passion of Christ our Lord, or because of other things directly ordered to His service and praise. Finally, I call consolation every increase of hope, faith, and charity, and all interior joy that calls and attracts to heavenly things and to the salvation of one’s soul, quieting it and giving it peace in its Creator and Lord.
Fourth Rule
The fourth rule is of spiritual desolation. I call desolation all the contrary of the third rule, such as darkness of soul, disturbance in it, movement to low and earthly things, disquiet from various agitations and temptations, moving to lack of confidence, without hope, without love, finding oneself totally slothful, tepid, sad and, as if separated from one’s Creator and Lord. For just as consolation is contrary to desolation, in the same way the thoughts that come from consolation are contrary to the thoughts that come from desolation.
Fifth Rule
In time of desolation never make a change, but be firm and constant in the proposals and determinations in which one was the day preceding such desolation, or in the determination in which one was in the preceding consolation. Because, as in consolation the good spirit guides and counsels us more, so in desolation the bad spirit, with whose counsels we cannot find the way to a right decision.
Sixth Rule
Although in desolation we should not change our first proposals, it is very advantageous to change ourselves intensely against the desolation itself, as by insisting more upon prayer, meditation, upon much examination, and upon extending ourselves in some suitable way of doing penance.
Seventh Rule
Let one who is in desolation consider how the Lord has left him in trial in his natural powers, so that he may resist the various agitations and temptations of the enemy; since he can resist with the divine help which always remains with him, though he does not clearly feel it; for the Lord has taken away from him his great fervor, abundant love, and intense grace, leaving him, however, sufficient grace for eternal salvation.

<a href="www.TheBeatiDudes.com%20">www.TheBeatiDudes.com</a> The BeatiDudes welcome back John Cannon, Founder of SENT Ventures, for this bonus episode.After early career success, John joined the Carmelite order and lived a contemplative, cloistered life of prayer and study. While researching church renewal movements, John realized that one of the most powerful tools for renewal is entrepreneurship. This led John to discern out of the monastery and into the business world to build a community that supports Catholic entrepreneurs and builders.In this episode, the Dudes reflect on the components of authentic Christian fraternity before diving into a discussion on the social teachings of the Church for business. Many of the SENT Ventures members are leading by or seeking to learn how to infuse dignity, solidarity, justice, and just wages into their organizations. During the "Blessed are the Joke Makers" game, John joins the BeatiDudes in answering the question "_________ led me to _________" as a fire and brimstone preacher. You won't want to miss his surprising answer. The show is closed out with another "reverse Simpsons" moment during which the Dudes play a classic improv game with a new name, "Doctor of The Church Know-It-All." <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow (our guest):</h2><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><h2>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By</h2><a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a> <h2>Great resources from this show</h2><a href="https://www.amazon.com/True-Leadership-Habiger-Institute-Catholic/dp/1944418717">True Leadership </a>book <a href="https://cas.stthomas.edu/_media-library/_documents/catholic-studies/vocation-of-the-business-leader.pdf">The Vocation of the Business Leader</a>

Hierarchy of gratitude:
<ol>
 	<li>God</li>
 	<li>Our Parents</li>
 	<li>The person that excels in dignity, from whom general favors proceed</li>
 	<li>A benefactor from whom we have received particular and private favors</li>
</ol> 
Summa - the natural order requires that he who has received a favor should, by repaying the favor, turn to his benefactor according to the mode of each.[1]

The grateful person sees reality as it is. Everything as gift.

Steps to growing in gratitude – Catholic Digest
<ol>
 	<li>Prayer, prayer, prayer</li>
 	<li>Surround yourself with people who are grateful for life
<ol>
 	<li>Attitudes are contagious</li>
</ol> 
</li>
 	<li>Materialism fuels our ingratitude
<ol>
 	<li>Before we make purchases (planned or otherwise) say a prayer</li>
 	<li>Instead of rewarding children with things, reward them with experiences</li>
</ol> 
</li>
</ol> 
<ol>
 	<li>        Will this gift end up in the trash in a week?</li>
</ol> 
<ol>
 	<li>Refusing to forgive is a major obstacle to gratitude
<ol>
 	<li>Failure to forgive places burdens on our soul</li>
</ol> 
</li>
 	<li>Worry and Anxiety also lead us away from gratitude
<ol>
 	<li>“Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.  Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7</li>
 	<li>There is a direct link between screen time and anxiety</li>
</ol> 
</li>
 	<li>Practice custody of our language
<ol>
 	<li>Just like custody of the eyes.  Grumbling or venting does not help, it is a consummation with our interior feelings.  Stop complaining, be happier</li>
</ol> 
</li>
 	<li>Regular confession
<ol>
 	<li>Meditate on our Lord’s mercy</li>
</ol> 
</li>
 	<li>Memento Mori
<ol>
 	<li>Having Heaven as our context helps us be grateful for everything, especially our trials</li>

Rediscovered Medieval Book Shares 42 Secrets of Happiness

Miracles Do Happen: In this episode, we are honored to have Dr. Ben Carson - the world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon, Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, two-time speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast, presidential candidate, and author. We discuss Dr. Carson’s life and faith, and how he almost miraculously overcame adversity, and went from a life of dire poverty to national recognition. Dr. Carson will share some stories of real miracles he witnessed as a neurosurgeon. We will also discuss what miracles are and the essential part they play in our Faith. -- About Dr. Ben CarsonNeurosurgeon, medical director, foundation executive and author Dr. Benjamin Solomon Carson, Sr. was born on September 18, 1951 in Detroit Michigan, to Sonya and Robert Solomon Carson. After the couple separated, Carson and his brother Curtis lived with their mother. Although she worked several jobs at a time, Sonya supported the family and played a tremendous role in shaping the lives of her sons. Upon seeing her sons’ poor performance in school, Sonya required them to read regularly and to present her with weekly book reports, although she herself only had a third grade education and had difficulty reading. In 1969, Carson graduated with honors as the student “Most likely to succeed,” from Southwestern High School, a public school located in southwest Detroit, Michigan. During his early years, although Carson had improved his grades considerably, he had to overcome his temper. After an incident in which he almost stabbed a friend, Carson made up his mind to change his ways. Upon receiving his high school diploma, Carson attended Yale University, where he would meet his future wife, Lacena “Candy” Rustin. After graduating from Yale University with his B.A. degree in psychology in 1973, he went on to the University of Michigan School of Medicine. After receiving his M.D. degree in 1977, Carson trained at Johns Hopkins University, where he completed his internship in general surgery and his residency in neurological surgery. In 1983, Carson traveled to Perth, Australia to serve as a senior registrar in neurosurgery at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. A year later, he returned to Johns Hopkins and by the following year was named Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery. In 1987, through a ground-breaking surgical procedure, Carson successfully separated conjoined twins who were attached at the head. Outside of his work as a world-renowned surgeon, Carson has been civically active. Using his own life story as a background, Carson has written four motivational books, which include: "Gifted Hands" in 1990, "The Big Picture" in 2000, "Think Big" in 2006, and "Take the Risk: Learning to Identify, Choose, and Live with Acceptable Risk" in 2007. The first of these works served as the inspiration for a film of the same title, in which Cuba Gooding, Jr. plays the role of Carson. Carson has also created three foundations—the Carson Scholars Fund, the Ben Carson Reading Project, and Angels of the Operating Room. He serves on the board of directors of the Kellogg Company and CostCo Wholesale Corporation. In 2008, President George W.

Miracles Do Happen w/ Dr. Ben Carson

Dr. John Bishop sits down with Peter Herbeck to discuss Peter&apos;s experience in his 37 year marriage, fighting to keep Christ at the center of his marriage and closeness to his children. They talk honestly about the challenges of choosing love over one&apos;s ego. Filled with stories and practical ideas, this conversation helps make the ideal of raising your children in the faith a more tangible reality.

Ep 3: Peter Herbeck on a Practical Christ-centered Marriage and Family

Whatever format it’s found in, teamwork has always played an essential role in getting anything done.  It’s so important in fact that much of contemporary literature around leadership focuses on a leader’s ability to generate and maintain healthy teams.  But isn’t the notion of a team something that is essential to the Christian religion?  And if so shouldn’t Christianity offer a special advantage to a Christian leader?  In this tenth episode of our series on the Christian advantage in leadership I take a look at this question.

DGT Episode 278 - A Different Kind Of Team - The Christian Leader's Advantage Part 10

Few saints exemplify the power of Catholic leadership more than a simple Italian nun named St. Frances Xavier Cabrini.  Although plagued with bad health and many restrictions in her life she found a way to be incredibly productive founding schools, orphanages, and hospitals on four continents.  She teaches us to overcome whatever lies in our way as we pursue God’s will – sharing with us her personal motto, “I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me.”

Socialism, Black Lives Matter, and Systemic Racism (Trent Horn) | Ep. 208

In this episode, we hear from Steve Ray about two different types of pilgrimages: a pilgrimage of faith to the Catholic Church; and a literal pilgrimage through the Holy Land. Steve and his wife Janet have traveled to the Holy Land over 180 times exploring, filming, and leading thousands of pilgrims. We discuss the importance of pilgrimages and the power that comes from experiencing the very places Jesus, His mother, and the Saints walked. Steve Ray has authored many books, including the best-selling book "Crossing the Tiber: Evangelical Protestants Discover the Historic Church", and is a highly acclaimed speaker and producer of Catholic films.Steve Ray is a convert to the Catholic Church and the author of three best-selling Ignatius Press books (Crossing the Tiber, Upon this Rock, and St. John’s Gospel). He speaks at conferences around the world.  He is a regular guest on The Journey Home and has appeared on many other radio and TV programs, including Fox News. He is writer, producer and host of the 10-part video/DVD series The Footprints of God: the Story of Salvation from Abraham to Augustine filmed entirely on location in the Holy Land and surrounding countries. Steve and his wife Janet are certified guides to the Holy Land and lead pilgrimages throughout the Middle East and Rome. He and Janet live in Michigan. They have four children and ten grandchildren.Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David HajdukFollow Array of Hope Ministries on:Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ArrayOfHopeMinistries">@arrayofhopeministries</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/arrayofhopeministries/">@arrayofhopeministries</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/AOHMinistries">@aohministries</a>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@arrayofhopeministries">@arrayofhopeministries</a> LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/array-of-hope-ministries/">@arrayofhopeministries</a> YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/arrayofhope">@ArrayofHopeMinistries</a>

Going on Pilgrimage w/ Steve Ray

In this episode of Into the Desert, Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen confront the tension at the heart of Palm Sunday: the same voices that cry “Hosanna” can quickly turn to “Crucify Him.” What looks like devotion can collapse under pressure, revealing how easily men drift with the crowd, seek approval, and abandon the path of Christ when it becomes costly. 

They press into the question: “Will I remain with Him when the path leads through suffering, rejection, and contradiction?”

This is not about chasing hardship or proving strength. It is about surrendering preference and choosing the will of God over comfort, efficiency, and control. Because the Christian life is not built on the easy road or the hard road, but on obedience. And Holy Week reveals it clearly: every man must decide which voice he will follow, and whether his “Hosanna” will last when the Cross appears.

A Dram With Andre Regnier

On today’s podcast, I'm joined by Deacon Jeff Drzycimski to talk about those times when we feel bogged down in our daily routines. It’s like we’re checking off the to-do list and wondering where God is in all of this.

In this episode, we learn that:
 - When we get bogged down in a bunch of tasks, we’re depriving ourselves of joy.
 - Looking at each daily task to determine how we are using it to glorify God restores that joy.
 - If a task does not bring glory to God, we should ask ourselves why we’re doing it.

The Grind

Daily decisions have eternal ramifications…. Don't claim ignorance. This week Victor and John talk about the long-term effects of our current daily choices. We often seek what is best the most enjoyable for our temporal life, without discerning what is best for our souls. Complacency could quietly be the death of us because we often choose the easy way instead of investing in service. 

In this week’s episode John and Victor discuss: 
- The rich young man dining SCRUMPTIOUSLY
- Sins of Commission vs. Sins of Omission
- One drop of His blood… is it enough? 
- The importance of an Examen.

Dr. Bob Schuchts

Today we’re talking about Pentecost Sunday and how it reminds us that our true purpose – like the Apostles’ – is to share the good news. Our responsibility as Christians is to spread the Word of God and save souls.

On this podcast we’ll learn that:

 - Those who identify as Christians should examine how they express those values each day
 - Evangelization differs from outreach or service because it requires that we proclaim the Word of God, not just practice good deeds
 - We shouldn’t worry about what we will lose by devoting our lives to God, but rather trust in all that we will gain.

Our Responsibility

Leaders are people of action.  They are those who have the vision to know what they want to do, the intelligence to choose how to do it, and the dedication to carry the job through.  It’s this last part that is a challenge for many.  As soon as we begin the process of change, challenges will arise from every side.  How do we form the heart and the drive sufficient to carry our actions through to success.  In these circumstances the Christian faith shines beautifully and gives Christian leaders and advantage.

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

True Beauty w/ Leah Darrow

When we decide to follow God, it’s super important that we begin to foster a disgust of sin. But sometimes it’s easier to be disgusted at others’ sins rather than our own, and that causes us to not take our own sins seriously. That’s why Victor and I sat down to talk about getting real in our fight against sin, and not giving ourselves a pass when we fall to temptation.

In this episode you’ll learn:
 - Why we can’t just ignore our own sins.
 - How treating confession as a “car wash” really hurts our relationship with God.
 - What we should do to foster repentance in our lives.
 - And more!

In our work with the Catholic leader, one of the most sensitive subjects is whether or not they should make money.  For some reason making a profit in our business has been associated with guilt and corruption.  But is this association always accurate?  Is it okay for a Catholic business leader to actually make a profit?  And if they do make a profit what are they supposed to do with it?  How does Christ qualify our success and how does a profitable Christian business look different from those of the world?

DGT Episode170 - A Business Should Make Money - Six Practical Principles For Business Part 5

We’ve journeyed together through the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas about making decisions.  We’ve learned about discernment, about counsel, about timing and about so much else.  And now is the time to act.  In this final segment on our series on making winning decisions with St. Thomas Aquinas, I want to look with you on the theology of the imperium or the command that our mind tells our will to make - getting over the hurdle of constantly wondering whether or not we should something and crossing the threshold of success.

DGT Episode 257 - To Do Or Not To Do - Leadership Lessons From Aquinas Part 6

In this episode, Victor and I ask “Why do we even try to be enough?” 
The enemy knows that men often struggle with feeling like they are not good enough fathers, husbands, or providers. It is a painful lie to believe you have to be “enough”. 

Take a load off and join us, your inadequate brothers, as we chat about it. 

In this episode you will hear about: 

* The sin of forgetting God’s love
* The GREATNESS of your insufficiency 
* Desolation
* Letting yourself be held by God… like a child.

BEHOLD the Man | Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers | Episode #059

What happens when a man stops treating faith like a routine and starts inviting the Holy Spirit into his daily life?
In this conversation, two Catholic men share powerful stories from prison ministry, mission work, and charismatic prayer that reveal how the Holy Spirit moves when men act in faith. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and the life of the Church, they explore spiritual gifts, repentance, confession, and the courage it takes to surrender control to God.
From moments of unexpected grace in prison to the quiet conviction that leads a man back to confession, the episode shows that the Holy Spirit is not distant or abstract. He is Advocate, Helper, and guide&mdash;ready to stir what was already given at baptism and confirmation.
The challenge is simple but demanding: ask boldly, live the sacraments, and stop walking the Christian life alone.
When men invite the Holy Spirit in, everything changes.

The Holy Spirit Changes Everything | Ep 8

All is gift!

Join John and Victor this week as they discuss the power of receiving everything-trials and sufferings included- as a gift from the Lord. As St. Paul writes in his letter to the Romans, "We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). The Lord desires to use every moment of our lives to draw us back into union with Him. Nothing is wasted! May this year be an opportunity of greater trust, surrender, and freedom in Christ for each of us. 

In this episode we discuss:
-Living joyfully in all things
-Receiving every trial and suffering as a way to draw closer to the Lord 
-The greatest opportunity in life is learning how to love

Trial Or Opportunity?

God Bless This Mess!: In this episode, we hear from Michael and Alicia Hernon, Catholic parents of ten children and founders of the Messy Family Project, an apostolate that seeks to accompany couples to embrace and joyfully live out their vocation to parenthood in the messy realities of life. We discuss Mike and Alicia’s stories and story, how the foundation of a thriving family is putting God and your spouse first, and how God works with and through our “mess” to bring about something beautiful and show forth His glory.  -- About Michael and Alicia HernonMichael and Alicia Hernon are the founders of The Messy Family Project, a ministry that  empowers moms and dads to embrace their sacred calling at home and gives them the tools to do so.  As parents of 10 children, Mike and Alicia bring inspirational and practical insights into family life to parents all over the world through their podcast, downloadable resources from their website, and online workshops for parents.   As they have sought to serve other families, Mike and Alicia have been also raising their own children in Steubenville OH.  They have 5 children at home, 5 who have successfully “launched”, and grandchildren as well.  Their children have been their greatest joy and challenge in this life, as well as their path to heaven.  Without their children, there would be no podcast, since 10 kids certainly do make for very messy parenting!  Their podcast started as a response to their family members who asked that they share their experiences, not as experts giving clinical advice, but simply as fellow parents. The podcast has now been active for 6 years and has been downloaded over a million times. Their podcasts and resources over various topics such as “7 Ways to Spice up Your Marriage”, “Yelling, the Lazy Approach to Parenting” and “Yes, Your Kids Can be Best Friends”.  For more information you can visit their website at  <a href="http://www.messyfamilyproject.org/">www.MessyFamilyProject.org</a> -- Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David HajdukVisit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

God Bless This Mess! w/ Michael & Alicia Hernon

The easiest way to get lost in doing anything is to not know what you are trying to do to begin with.  Anytime we’re called to lead a project of any kind, our leadership begins with vision.  But what if we can’t find a vision?  Is there something deeper at the root of being able to cast a vision going forward?  There is – we call it the power to dream.  Dream is the power within a leader to reach forward to something which you do not yet possess and its roots lay in healing our ability to desire things.

DGT Episode 214 - The Desire At The Heart Of Dreams - AUDEO Part 12

We avoid thinking about death until it forces its way into the room. But what happens when a husband and father is suddenly told he has ninety days to live? 

In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt examine the striking story of former Nebraska senator Ben Sasse, who recently revealed a stage-four pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Drawing from his candid interview reflecting on that moment, they explore how the ancient Christian discipline of memento mori, remembering death, cuts through ambition, noise, and distraction to reveal what actually matters in a man’s life.

Sasse speaks openly about regret, fatherhood, selfishness, and the urgency of redeeming time when the clock is no longer theoretical. John and Devin unpack his reflections through the lens of the Church’s tradition, from Sirach’s warning to “remember your last end” to the teaching of saints like Jerome, Augustine, and Alphonsus Liguori, while confronting the questions most men quietly push aside: what would change if you truly believed your days were numbered?

We are joined by Father Basil Cole, who according to many, including Father Martins, is one of the greatest angelologists and demonologists in the world today. Father Basil Cole is a member of the famed Dominican order, the order founded by Saint Dominic. They are renowned for the quality of their learning and for the many Theologians they have produced through the centuries, including the renowned St. Thomas Aquinas, who is easily one of the greatest, if not the greatest, intellects whoever lived.While the study of Angels is not a "science" and great minds can disagree, there is much that scripture and tradition has to say. Want more Exorcist Files Content? <a href="https://exorcistfiles.supercast.com/" target="_blank">Subscribe to The Vault</a> for exclusive deep dives into past cases and Ask Me Anything Episodes with Father Martins. SPONSORS OF TODAYS EPISODE<a href="https://www.firebreakerseries.com/" target="_blank">FireBreaker Series-  </a>  A dramatic and epic adventure recounting the legend of George and the Dragon.

Jesus commands men to love even their enemies so they might strive to be perfect like the Heavenly Father. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by building the Virtue of Charity and rely on the Church to discern issues of justice and by growing in the Virtue of Fortitude so he can persist in love for those who hate and attack him.
