Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss surrendering your life to Christ and the needless fears associated with doing so.

Surrender

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father Today we hear Jesus offer the cryptic revelation that He has been explicitly sent from God the Father Almighty and how Jesus is mysteriously protected from being arrested and killed by His enemies. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to seek the Gift of Understanding from the Holy Spirit so he can fully accept Jesus as the Lord of his life.  We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to grow in the Virtue of Diligence so he can make it his daily mission to draw closer to Jesus Christ.

Episode 47 - Jesus cryptically reveals His Divinity and mysteriously escapes the attempt to arrest Him - Friday March 24, 2023 - Jn 7:1-2, 10, 25-30

Converting from Atheism to Catholicism

Exorcist priest, Fr. Chad Ripperger, joins us to discuss the general entitlement belief and effeminacy pervasive in men today. We find boys moving to this state of adolescence and frankly never getting out of it. Not only is this state of existence contrary to right order, it stunts growth and keeps boys mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically trapped in immaturity. Fr. Ripperger addresses this issue by breaking down the reality of how men are raised and what can be done to actively raise our sons to be men. He then discusses how his father and his life growing up greatly influenced him in his life as an exorcist battling demons on a regular basis. This is a great conversation with practical steps we can all use.<h2>Podcast Sponsor: </h2>Exodus 90 - https://exodus90.com/catholicgentleman<h2>Links Discussed on the Show:</h2>BOOK: Shop Talk by Fr.

Lila Rose: Pro-Life Warrior

In many cases, the love of money spills over into workaholism. The impact on the family is devastating leaving the children rejected and fatherless even while dad is in the home. Mark and Jeff call upon men to do better and use “The Door” as a daily trigger point to humble themselves and enter more fully into the lives of their spouses and children. For more great content from That Man Is You, visit https://paradisusdei.org/

Episode 7:  Workaholism

A few days before leaving for the 2018 Synod on Youth in Rome, Bishop Barron hosted a listening session with a group of young people at Villanova Preparatory School in his region. The goal was to invite the kids to share their ideas, desires, and concerns, so that Bishop Barron could bring those insights with him to the Synod discussions. Today we share the audio of that discussion. Enjoy! NOTE: Be sure to visit <a href= "http://wordfromrome.com">WordFromRome.com</a> to see all of Bishop Barron's daily video updates from the Synod!

WOF 148: Listening to Young People Talk About the Church

In Session 3, we saw that Don Bosco developed a system of parenting that was almost “fool proof.” How are we doing?

The majority of children under the age of 18 grow up in a home without their biological father. Fathers spend less than 5 minutes in conversation with their children during the most formative years. Have you ever heard the personal story of Mickey Mantle?

What if men chose a different path? What if we truly became “men after God’s own heart?” Then we would transform our children and our children would transform the world.

In what ways are you forming your children for success in the spiritual life?

BONUS: The Tales of Two Exorcists, Part 2

On today's Beacon of Truth, Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers is pulling from the Beacon of Truth Playlist and talking about Man in the Mirror from Michael Jackson. Plus, Soulful Psalm 11.

Playlist Edition: Man in the Mirror

Today we’re talking about something we see far too often: living with one foot in the world and one foot in the faith. It’s time to make a choice, to stop hedging our bets, and go all in with Christ.

In this episode, we share our own struggles with lukewarm faith and explore what it means to commit fully to God. We look at examples from Scripture—like Elijah calling out the people on Mount Carmel and David’s heartfelt psalm of trust—to remind us that God doesn’t want a half-hearted relationship. Advent is a time to prepare, reflect, and decide: Will we give our all to Him, or keep clinging to the distractions of the world?

Victor and I are passionate about helping you find the joy, peace, and purpose that only Christ can bring. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who’s ready to stop living a "safe" faith and start living a fulfilled one.

Don’t miss this one, and as always, share it with someone who might need to hear this message. God bless!

Episode 100: Grace amidst abortion, crystals, & psychedelics | The story of a merciful, loving God

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith, and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father Today we hear the very first words of Jesus’ very first sermon, the Sermon on the Mount, in which Jesus gives men a blueprint about how to find true and lasting happiness in the Beatitudes, both in daily life now and eternal happiness in the life to come. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to set his sights on the greatness of the Beatitudes and to grow in the Virtue of Magnanimity.  We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to seek the Fruits of the Holy Spirit so he can more fully present the truth of Jesus Christ to the world.

Friends, Christians often speak of “having a personal relationship with Christ” or “knowing Jesus personally,” but what does this actually mean? Is it possible?

God is our Father (not our mother) | The Creed (Pt. 4)In this third episode in our series on The Creed, Mario and Dave continue their discussion of the First Article, moving from the conversation about the nature of God and God as Creator to the truth revealed by Jesus that God is our Father.  They discuss why God is Father (and not mother), but also what we do and do not mean by this. They also show why those who say that God being called Father is the result of prejudices of previous historical time periods are misguided.Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David Hajduk- Sponsors -<a href="https://bit.ly/44nYYUw">Scapulars.com</a> - Divine protection in life and in death with the most durable, comfortable scapulars ever made.Real Estate for Life is a multinational corporation with 1,400 experienced, faith-based agents world-wide to connect you with a Catholic service provider who shares your values.Visit their website at: <a href="https://bit.ly/3tTH3qR">realestateforlife.org</a>- Resources -Take our podcast survey to help us make A Reason for Hope better for YOU! <a href="https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com/">https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com/ </a> Visit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app: <a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

Why a Professional Football Player Returned to the Catholic Church

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss one of the biggest roadblocks to living an authentic christian life: Duplicity

Duplicity

By now any Christian who follows events in the world knows how important it is for us to act.  The news headlines are filled with reports of things that are happening and calls for us to get involved.  On the other hand Christians are equally convinced that we need to pray.  Prayer is a part of our spiritual tradition and something our Savior commanded us to do. Is there a connection between the two?  Is there really a value to prayer when so much of our brain space is taken up by issues, and confrontations, and worry about the future.  I think there is and I want to make a case for it.

DGT Episode 261 - Making The Case For Prayer - Impact Culture For Christ Part 4

To borrow a football term, an audible is called at the last-minute when the scheduled guest doesn't show up, utilizing this episode instead to share some insights brought back from the 2nd Global Congress on Sport and Christianity. The conference took place in late October in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and this installment of CSR cites content from that event that underscore the longstanding relationship between sports and faith.

Carefree Timelessness

Christian leaders follow Christ – even though it seems contradictory to say leaders follow – this is what makes our leadership special.  It’s not about us.  It’s about Him and the influence He gives to the world through us.  The Virgin Mary demonstrates this admirable in her own life.  She is Christ’s perfect servant by doing everything that she can to make Him known and loved.  We can see this throughout his apostolic life but especially at two key moments.

DGT Episode 237 - Leading By Following - Mary Queen Of Leaders Part 9

Leadership is not done in a vacuum.  In fact the cultural situation we find ourselves in often influences the decisions we have to make.  This is why it is so important for Christian leaders to always remember the importance of their role as leaders in a world that is marked by sin.  In today’s episode, the second of our series of Leaders In A Broken World we develop the importance of Christian leadership for providing true unity and creating true harmony for the betterment of all.

 Hosts Pat Lencioni and Chris Stefanick give a daily reflection for Christians in the workplace.

Anonymity

We all know the value of separating our work life from our private life.  But are we always aware of the value that could come by integrating the two?  What would change about my personal life if I brought my work and dedication home? What would change about my work life if I integrated the values that I hold as an individual person into it? These questions have immense potential to change the trajectory of our lives.

DGT Episode 34 - Missionary Disciples In Leadership - Part 3

What's actually happening when we pray? In this episode, Bishop Barron answers the deepest questions about prayer, not necessarily how to pray but what is prayer? A listener asks about the Rosary prayer and how it operates.

About our drink:
Deanston 12 year
The new, relaunched 12 year old, this single malt has been bottled at a slightly higher proof, negating the necessity for chill-filtration and as such retaining more of its original charm. A lovely dram from the Deanston distillery.

Nailers, also known as nail guns, are available in coil and strip nail loading configurations.

This type of nail gun is more compact and can fit into more places than models requiring nail strips.

Strips of paper, plastic or wire hold the nails together. This configuration distributes the weight of the nails, making them easier to handle compared to coil nail guns. That means electric nailers requiring strips also handle easier than coil varieties.

About the Topic:
This episode is taken from Dr. Tim Gray - <a href="https://ascensionpress.com/collections/exodus-called-to-freedom" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Exodus: Called to Freedom by Ascension Press</a>
When God called Israel out of slavery in Egypt to a life of freedom as his people, it was the defining moment in Israel’s history. Exodus: Called to Freedom looks through the lens of Christ and the Church to show that, more than just seeking to free his people from the domination of Pharaoh, God desired to free his people from the far more dangerous grip of sin. Presenter Tim Gray explains how the Exodus story is not just Israel’s story but our story as well, because it reveals who God is and what he calls us to be. Discover the divine purpose behind the plagues on Egypt and how God’s law reflects his love and concern. Learn the keys to authentic freedom and how a proper understanding of the Exodus can illuminate one’s understanding of the Christian Faith.

For that reason I decided to ask St. Thomas about why Christ ascended into heaven and why it was profitable. --- HUGE THANKS to the following Patrons: Tom Dickson, Jack Buss, Sean McNicholl, Jed Florstat, Daniel Szafran, Phillip Hadden Katie Kuchar, Phillipe Ortiz, Russell T Potee, Sarah Jacob, Fernando Enrile and Christopher Beckett.

58: Why did Christ ascend into Heaven?

Leaders don’t get to be in the positions they have by doing nothing.  Instead they are men and women of action.  But does this mean they have to leave their people behind?  Is there a way to unite both action and productivity?  In the Catholic imagination the two are linked.  In the 13th century a Dominican friar named St. Thomas Aquinas gave valuable insight into this very question by comparing human leadership with God’s governing of the world.
