Halloween and Day of The Dead

Word on Fire is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. That's twenty-five years of proclaiming the Gospel, evangelizing the culture, and working hard to bring people to—or back to—Christ and his Church. It's worth pausing to look back to remember where it all began and how the ministry has grown along the way. What is Word on Fire's origin story? When, where, and why did Bishop Barron—then Fr. Barron—first conceive of the idea to found Word on Fire? What were the early years like? What have been some major developments along the way? What obstacles were encountered, what lessons learned? And what does the future look like for the next five, ten, and even fifty years? A listener asks how he might be able to become a part of the Word on Fire religious order. 00:00 | Introduction 01:22 | Minnesota bishops visit state capital 02:55 | A brief look at Bishop Barron's early priestly life 06:18 | Bishop Barron's cathedral project 06:58 | Word on Fire's beginning 09:49 | Beginning the Catholicism series 11:24 | Cardinal Francis George 14:30 | Early days with Fr.

WOF 486: Celebrating 25 Years of Word on Fire

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.
Each chapter dismantles modern passivity and spiritual lukewarmness, calling men to deeper prayer, unshakable discipline, real repentance, and radical love. From embracing the Father&rsquo;s love to breaking free from sin, living by the Spirit, and becoming a servant leader at home and in the world&mdash;this series gives men the spiritual playbook they&rsquo;ve been craving.
If you&rsquo;ve ever wrestled with anger, lust, weakness, pride, or purpose, you&rsquo;re not alone&mdash;and this series is your training ground. Get ready to be challenged, inspired, and transformed. It&rsquo;s time to be the man you were created to be.

Be a Man! with Fr Larry Richards 

It’s the end of an era. After five years, Father Dave and Deacon Bob gather for the very last episode of They That Hope. True to form, the conversation blends laughter, sorrow, and a steady focus on Christ. 
The guys begin with one last round of sports heartbreak (Notre Dame, Broncos, and a Buccaneers game that hasn’t quite happened yet), plus Deacon Bob’s double-dose weekend of Weird Al concerts.  
Then they shift to reflect on the tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk. They wrestle with grief and division, recognizing how fragile life feels, and wonder aloud how silencing faith-filled voices only deepens the darkness. Their reflection reminds listeners that vengeance belongs to the Lord, and that true hope is found in forgiveness, mercy, and the power of the Holy Spirit.  
Finally, they wrap up by sharing heartfelt listener letters, favorite memories from the past five years, and their gratitude for everyone who joined them at the “podcast table.” As they sign off with blessings and thanksgiving, Father Dave and Deacon Bob leave us with the reminder that hope does not disappoint—because the love of God has been poured into our hearts. 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) A Final Episode Begins  
Father Dave and Deacon Bob kick off their last recording with gratitude and laughter. The bittersweet tone is lightened by jokes about Notre Dame football and whether ending the podcast jinxed their favorite teams. It’s a familiar start for a farewell filled with humor and heartfelt reflection. 
(03:47) Weird Al, Walk-On Songs, and Family Fun  
Deacon Bob shares his weekend of back-to-back <a href='https://www.weirdal.com/'>Weird Al concerts</a>, complete with Stormtroopers, “<a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOfZLb33uCg'>Amish Paradise,</a>” and plenty of costume changes. The story turns tender as he recalls memories of singing parodies with his kids, now grown. Father Dave teases along the way, but it’s clear these goofy songs carry a deep family legacy. 
(12:39) Grief and Division After Charlie Kirk’s Shooting  
They then turn to recent news: <a href='https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/charlie-kirk-shooting-investigation-09-16-25'>the shooting of Charlie Kirk.</a> They talk about his willingness to engage in dialogue, how violence eats away at our sense of safety and unity, and how we sometimes silence or dismiss voices that carry hope for fear of disagreement. Despite the pain this brings, they look for grounding in Scripture—especially the call to love even our enemies as part of the Christian witness. 
(22:08) Forgiveness, Mercy, and Real Hope  
Building on the previous reflection, Father Dave and Deacon Bob draw from Deacon Bob’s homily and the testimony of <a href='https://www.immaculee.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoodn8VQBjroxtmL7DiiLvWdGKHuOQYdTcaws2EQ3rXh_ztIJiIF'>Immaculée Ilibagiza</a> to explore what it means to respond in a Christ-like way. In times when the world feels fractured, mercy and forgiveness become the clearest sign of that hope we proclaim. 
(35:44) Listener Letters, Thank-Yous, and Final Blessing  
Fans write in to share how the podcast shaped their faith, lightened their burdens, and even sparked personal transformation. Father Dave and Deacon Bob laugh through memories, thank their families and the Franciscan University team, and offer one last blessing. They end as they began five years ago—reminding us that hope does not disappoint, because God is faithful.

All Good Things...

Like anything stepping into leadership requires training.  Stepping into Christian leadership requires that we not just be skilled but also ethical and holy.  How to integrate these two worlds?  How to integrate our spirituality, our faith, and the realism of the world of business?  The Church’s Magisterium put forth a wonderful document that outlines a way forward.  By educating Christians in the principles of Christ, and in the use of the virtues, she points forward a way for us to not only do business but to lead.

Pints With Aquinas

Many Catholic men feel bored, underused and unsure where they fit in the Church. Sam Halligan of Forge joins Heroic Stories to explore why men need a demanding mission, how sacrifice becomes a way of life, and what Ernest Shackleton&rsquo;s impossible Antarctic expedition can teach men about leadership. Sam also shares the painful discernment that uprooted his career and family, why struggle can transform a man&rsquo;s identity, and how ordinary men can recover purpose by serving the people already within their reach.
What You&rsquo;ll Learn
✅ Why men respond to difficult missions ✅ How sacrifice forms masculine identity ✅ Why struggle can become an encounter with God ✅ How one man&rsquo;s life affects everyone around him

Jesus Is the Son of God! | The Creed (Pt. 6)In this episode, we continue to discuss the second article of the Creed: "And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord." David and Mario focus upon what we mean when we profess that Jesus is "the only Son" of the Father. They discuss how the Son of God is eternally begotten of and consubstantial with the Father, and distinguish between being the Son of God by nature vs. being a son of God by adoption. They also discuss how Jesus is fully God and fully man in one Divine Person, and how the Church came to clarify this in response to early heresies about Jesus.Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David Hajduk- Sponsors -Birch Gold - The Precious Metal IRA Specialists. <a href="https://bit.ly/3IaudIo">https://birchgold.com/HOPE</a>Real Estate for Life - 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. <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.

Jesus Is the Son of God! | The Creed (Pt. 6) | DM

How does a frail young priest take on one of the world&rsquo;s most brutal regimes? This is the true story of Blessed Jerzy Popiełuszko, the Polish priest who stood with his people, preached human dignity, and became a symbol of hope during the dark days of communist oppression.
In this talk, you&rsquo;ll discover how Fr. Jerzy&rsquo;s simple acts of courage&mdash;celebrating Mass in steel mills, refusing to trample his rosary, preaching truth in the face of spies&mdash;turned him into a national hero and martyr. His story is one of quiet defiance, love rooted in sacrifice, and the unshakable power of faith to confront evil.
If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered what real courage, sacrifice, and spiritual leadership look like, this story will challenge and inspire you.

Into the Breach – Episode 8: Suffering

Many men want purpose, faith, brotherhood, and a stronger family life, yet fear and isolation keep them standing at the edge. Paul George, author of 'Holy Grit', joins Tom Hornacek and Dean Patterson to explore why men retreat, how Christ redeems pain, why mentorship can begin around a dinner table, and how husbands and fathers can recover their God-given purpose.

Holy Grit: The Fear Keeping Men From Going All In With Christ - Paul George

What do Catholic men really need today?
In this episode of Heroic Hotline, Deacon Pedro Guevara-Mann joins us to discuss evangelization, authentic masculinity, media, brotherhood, and why men were made for mission&mdash;not endless scrolling.
Drawing from more than two decades at Salt + Light Media, Deacon Pedro explains why Catholic organizations must work together instead of competing, why the Church already has an incredible "tool bag" for every stage of faith, and why today's biggest challenge isn't a lack of ministries&mdash;it's helping men find them.
He also shares one of the most practical reflections you'll hear on King David, social media, and why idleness can quietly lead men away from their mission.
What You'll Learn
✅ Why every Catholic shares the same mission to make disciples ✅ The importance of building bridges between Catholic ministries ✅ Why brotherhood matters more than branding ✅ How media can help&mdash;or distract&mdash;from holiness ✅ What King David teaches men about idleness and temptation ✅ Why service and mission are essential for authentic masculinity ✅ How ordinary Catholic men can confidently evangelize

About the Topic:
“And when you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure  their faces that their fasting may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father whose in secret will reward you.” Matthew 6:16-18
Jesus says “when you fast” not “if you fast”. He expected us to fast. But we should not fast out of dieting or pride, but out of love of God. 
Fasting improves us spiritually in several ways (from <a href="https://jimmyakin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jimmy Akin</a>):

<ol class="ol1">
 	<li class="li1">We express our recognition that spiritual things are more important than physical things.</li>
 	<li class="li1">We learn to deny ourselves pleasures, even in spite of pain. (Increase in fortitude)</li>
 	<li class="li1">We declare that we recognize the need to reform and to get closer to God.</li>
 	<li class="li1">We willingly embrace the hunger fasting produces as a sign of being willing to shoulder the burdens of others (Col. 1:24 - “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is Lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the Church…”). What is lacking: Christ’s sufferings were, of course, sufficient for our redemption, but all of us may add ours to his, in order that the fruits of his redemption be applied to the souls of men. </li>
 	<li class="li1">We express humility before God by adopting a humble posture, recognizing our dependence on him and affirming our submissiveness to his will.</li>
</ol> 
4 classes of penitents who committed major sins (idolatry, murder, abortion, adultery) in the ancient formal penitential discipline:

<ol class="ol1">
 	<li class="li1">Weepers - Not allowed in the church but stayed outside and asked those going in to pray for them.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Hearers - Stood inside the church doors and heard the liturgy of the word but were dismissed before the liturgy of the Eucharist.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Kneelers - knelt or lay down in church and participated with the Church in specific prayers for them before being blessed by the bishop and dismissed prior to the Eucharist. </li>
 	<li class="li1">Standers - sat in the congregation and stayed for the liturgy of the Eucharist but did not receive Communion.</li>

 	<li class="li1">Have a specific intention for your suffering. Visualize the person you are praying for or the grace you are asking God to give you.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Set a schedule. Scheduling how your day will look helps avoid moments of inactivity. Helps to go to sleep on time and get up early.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Increase the amount of water you drink per day.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Take multi-vitamins. When you fast you will become deficient in some vitamins your body is used to having.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Don’t complain. No one should know you are fasting.</li>
</ol> 
Canon Law on Feast Days: 
Can. 1246 §1. Sunday, on which by apostolic tradition the paschal mystery is celebrated, must be observed in the universal Church as the primordial holy day of obligation. The following days must also be observed: the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Epiphany, the Ascension, the Body and Blood of Christ, Holy Mary the Mother of God, her Immaculate Conception, her Assumption, Saint Joseph, Saint Peter and Saint Paul the Apostles, and All Saints.
Canon Law on Days of Penance: 
Can. 1251 Abstinence from meat, or from some other food as determined by the Episcopal Conference, is to be observed on all Fridays, unless a solemnity should fall on a Friday. Abstinence and fasting are to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
Can. 1252 The law of abstinence binds those who have completed their fourteenth year. The law of fasting binds those who have attained their majority, until the beginning of their sixtieth year. Pastors of souls and parents are to ensure that even those who by reason of their age are not bound by the law of fasting and abstinence, are taught the true meaning of penance.
Can. 1253 The conference of bishops can determine more precisely the observance of fast and abstinence as well as substitute other forms of penance, especially works of charity and exercises of piety, in whole or in part, for abstinence and fast.

<blockquote>Hey men,

Let me ask you: in the past 90 days, how often did you eat a little too much, drink a little too much, or spend too much time in the office?

How many times did you ignore your wife, children, or friends just to thumb through social media, watch Netflix, YouTube, or a game?

So many men today are distracted. They’re dependent on the comforts of this world, making them incapable of even knowing they aren’t free to say no to those things. Guys, we were made for more than this.

If you desire freedom from those attachments — Freedom to be a better husband, a better father, and a better man for others — I invite you to check out <a href="http://exodus90.com/?utm_source=catholicmanshow&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=exodus90-2022&amp;utm_content=catholicmanshow-email-1">Exodus 90</a></blockquote>

Exodus 90 is a ninety-day program that gets us back to the fundamentals of the faith: prayer, self-denial, and fraternity. It starts on January 17th and ends on Easter Sunday.More than 50,000 men from around the world — Catholics, Christians, even folks that don’t align with any Christian faith —  have done this. Of these men, 99% report experiencing greater freedom.

A Suffering God | The Creed (Pt. 8) | DMIn this episode continuing our series on The Creed, David and Mario set up the coming discussions on the articles pertaining to the passion and death of Jesus. They ponder the questions: Why focus so much on the passion of Jesus if the Gospels and The Creed treat it in a very cursory way? Why does Pontius Pilate's name make its way into The Creed? How is it that God - Who is perfect, perfectly happy in Himself, and cannot change - could ever "suffer"? They also look at an early heresy that attempted to split Jesus' humanity from His divinity, the Church's answer to which offers insight into how Mary can be called the Mother of God and how God can be said to suffer.Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David Hajduk- Sponsors -St. Joseph Partners was founded 12 years ago to help American families protect their wealth and diversify their investments in what history shows has been the most resilient asset – physical gold and silver.

A Meditation For Ash Wednesday by Thomas Aquinas

The very topic of near-death experiences (NDEs) must be approached with caution. There is a lot of unscientific writing about near-death experiences, often based on nothing but anecdotes, which is sometimes focused on the writers’ own agendas rather than evidence.However, there is also a growing body of legitimate research—actual medical studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals—on the subject of NDEs. Before we look at some of these studies, we must consider what is meant by “near-death experiences.”In this episode you will learn that ...■ Science and religion have the same goal.■ We can learn about our eternal destiny from revelation as well as natural science.■ Our consciousness cannot be reduced to the brain, and has a transphysical component.■ Scientific studies on near-death experiences (NDEs) and terminal lucidity provide evidence of survival of human consciousness after clinical death.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr. Spitzer is a Catholic priest in the Jesuit order and is currently the President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith (<a href="https://magiscenter.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">magiscenter.com</a>). The Magis Center produces documentaries, books, high school programs, college courses, adult-education programs, and social media materials on the close connection among science, reason, and faith.

Episode 1: Medical Evidence of our Transphysical Soul

EP 123 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

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.

Who Will Be Saved? w/ Dr. Ralph Martin

It's Lent, so a perfect time to walk into the sufferings of our Savior, Jesus Christ. In the diary of St. Faustina, Jesus tells the saint, "I give great graces to souls who meditate devoutly on My Passion." It is good to meditate on the sufferings of Jesus so that we remember what our sins cost Him, and the depth of His love for us.

Ep 27: Do You Know What He Endured for You? The Sobering Details from Gethsemane to Golgotha

This week, The BeatiDudes welcome Dr. Rob McKenna, psychologist and founder of WiLD Leaders, for a fast-moving conversation about trust, leadership, and the kind of vulnerability that builds thriving organizations. Dr. Rob shares how growing up in a very public ministry home shaped his view of leadership, why Psalm 13 is a masterclass in honest prayer, and how “the little i” in WiLD points to whole and intentional leader development. 
Rob and The BeatiDudes (Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein) unpack the WiLD Trust Index, explore how faith fits into a healthy workplace, and WiLDly launch into a round of Blessed Are the Joke Makers. Along the way, you will hear practical ways to spark better one-on-ones, cultivate humble curiosity, and turn culture talk into culture traction. 
Dr. Rob also previews his new book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Whole-Leaders-Wild-Trust-Organizational/dp/1394379277">Whole Leaders, WiLD Trust: The Courageous Path to Personal, Relational, and Organizational Change</a>, with a foreword by Stephen M. R. Covey.
Standout Moments
•	WiLD Leaders origin story and why the “little i” matters for whole and intentional leader development
•	Growing up under a seminary president dad and learning to face hard questions at the kitchen table
•	Psalm 13 as a template for honest lament that still chooses trust
•	The WiLD Toolkit: ten developmental assessments that build people capacity over time
•	The WiLD Trust Index explained in plain English, including the 33 drivers of trust
•	Three levels of trust building: awareness within, patterns between, and conditions around
•	State of Trust research insight that many people work in a “jungle of trust”
•	Why trust is not “everywhere” just because it is “somewhere” - and how fragmentation shows up on teams
•	The power of asking questions you do not already know the answer to
•	Faith and leadership through the lens of St. Paul’s “many parts, one body”

Ep 81 - Fearless Faith: How Catholics Triumph Over Fear

Religious freedom, especially for Christians, is under attack across the globe, including in the West–including right here in the United States. Whether insidiously in the form of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs that block Christians from employment and advancement opportunities, or, overtly, like vandalism against churches, or, in some parts of the world, murderous violence against Christians themselves, in terms of sheer numbers–and this fact is often ignored–Christians are, by far, the most persecuted religious group in the world. While defending religious freedom is important for people of all faiths, or no faith at all, it is thus especially urgent for believers in Christ. How, then, can we work together as a church and as a society to make progress on this front? Taking a step back, what, specifically, is religious freedom and why is it a universal human right? What is the relationship between the free exercise of religion and freedom of speech? And how can we respond to the secular charge that religious freedom is merely a backdoor means for the faithful to impose their beliefs on others? A listener asks how we can grow in confidence that Catholicism is the one true religion. Topics Covered: 00:00 | Introduction 01:36 | Concluding Winona-Rochester's diocesan synod 03:24 | The work of the Religious Liberty Commission 07:33 | Responding to Religious Liberty Commission criticism 09:11 | The inherent priority of religious liberty 12:32 | Distinguishing the freedoms of religion, conscience, and speech 14:26 | Is religious liberty necessary for worship? 16:33 | Understanding "due limits" to religious liberty 19:33 | Proposition or imposition? 20:24 | Civil authority and religious authority 22:40 | Truth and relativism 27:25 | How poor conceptions of religion undermine religious liberty 28:27 | Advocating for religious liberty 30:06 | Religious freedom in society 31:36 | Why religious liberty matters for evangelization 32:48 | Listener question: How can we know Catholicism is true? 36:01 | Join the Word on Fire Institute <a href= "Links:">Links:</a> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Dignitatis Humanae: <a href= "https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decl_19651207_dignitatis-humanae_en.html"> Vatican document</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>!

Day 19 Feast of St. Joseph Consecration | Fr Larry Richards

From the 5th Sunday of Easter (I know, I'm late!) Fr. Dom explores the concept of being attached to Jesus as the vine and the importance of remaining in Him. He emphasizes that having a relationship with Jesus is not just about being friends, but about sharing in His divine life. Fr. Dom discusses the need for transformation and renewal every day, and the power of the sacraments in grafting ourselves to the vine. He also highlights the role of baptism and confession in deepening our relationship with Christ.

S2-Case #14 "Medium, Not Well Done", Pt 1

Are supernatural healings happening today? Science can't prove God was the cause of the healing, but it can show something miraculous happened. Dr. Joshua W. Brown is a professor of Psychological and Brain Science at Indiana University, where he directs the Cognitive Control Lab. He also co-founded the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.globalmri.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Global Medical Research Institute</a> which performs peer reviewed research on claims of miraculous healing to support the idea that these things are in fact happening today. Today we dive into the placebo affect, healing in response to prayer, Josh's testimony of being healed of a malignant brain tumor, and his own personal experience contending for healing with others.

Fr. Cruz Shares Exorcism Stories

Wisdom isn&rsquo;t about how smart you are&mdash;it&rsquo;s about how surrendered you are. In Chapter Seven: Wisdom, Father Larry unpacks what it truly means to see the world through God&rsquo;s eyes and live according to His will. Real wisdom, he says, isn&rsquo;t political. It isn&rsquo;t macho. And it&rsquo;s definitely not self-centered. It&rsquo;s living like Jesus, who emptied Himself, took the form of a slave, and obeyed the Father&mdash;even to death.&nbsp;<a href="http://heroicmen.org/be-a-man-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download the Heroic Men Guide</a>

Chapter 7: Holy Wisdom

Ever wonder how you can become a better witness to Christ? Want to understand the depth of the Catholic Church's teachings on confession, reconciliation, and even the misunderstood concept of excommunication? Fr. Dom covers it all! He unpacks the power of confession and the Church's perspective on excommunication - not as a punishment, but as an ultimate act of love aimed at the salvation of souls. He dives into the beauty of the Gospel's teachings and explores the crucial role we play as parents in nurturing our children's faith. He then highlights the importance of continuously growing in faith so we can guide our families with the example of sacrificial love. Like what you heard?

Catholic Education w/ Dr. Brett Salkeld

What happens when the child you love won’t speak to you anymore? When the hurt runs deep—and it’s your fault? John Heinen and Devin Schadt go deep into one of the hardest realities a Catholic father can face: seeking forgiveness from a child who’s been wounded by your failure. Drawing from personal experience, they walk through the steps of Recognize, Repair, and Rebuild—offering practical and spiritual insight for men who want to restore trust without forcing the outcome. This truth works for children from 18 months to adulthood. 
This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a call to live with humility, pursue the heart of your child, and become the kind of father they can one day forgive—even if they never say the words.

The Wild Goose with Fr. Dave Pivonka

Your heart is a battlefield. What rules it—your emotions or God's will? In this episode, we dive into the raw struggle between passion and virtue, drawing from Scripture to expose how unchecked emotions can either destroy or transform. David had every reason to kill Saul, yet he chose mercy. Saul let jealousy consume him, and it led to his downfall. What about you? Are you ordering your passions toward God, or are they leading you into sin?Lent is coming. It’s time to examine what idols have crept into your heart and reclaim it for Christ. We unpack why the sacraments—especially the Eucharist—are the key to forming a heart like Christ’s. You’ll learn how to fight against destructive passions like anger and lust and replace them with ordered love, discipline, and righteousness.This isn’t just a call to reflection—it’s a call to action. If you want true peace, if you want to be free, you must embrace the radical love Christ calls us to.3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>"The passions of the heart, if left unchecked, will rule you. If you don't allow God to order them towards the good, they will control you and dictate every move."</li><li>"You want a heart like Christ? Then receive the Eucharist. His very heart—His body, blood, soul, and divinity—transforms yours."</li><li>"To turn the other cheek isn't weakness.

Harrison Butker - Building a Legacy as a Father

Let’s be real: a lot of guys hear the word disciple and think, “Whoa, I just wanted to flip burgers at the church event, not become a disciple.” But here’s the truth: being a Catholic man today means stepping up, not just sitting on the sidelines. Sean Lynn has been on this journey for 30 years. He was a police officer, seeing firsthand what happens when dads aren’t there—broken families, young people lost, crime. "We need Catholic men who are unafraid to lead, unafraid to live their faith boldly. And yeah, I get it—fear is real. We’ll talk politics, sports, anything but Jesus. But Scripture says it 140 times: Be not afraid." God is calling each of us by name. Right now. Will you answer?

Mission Ready: Unleashing Catholic Men for Discipleship

David Rinaldi journeyed from Minnesota to “put out into the deep” with Jeff Schiefelbein, Paul Kolker, and Nick Bezner at the tiny table. As the President of NET Ministries, David leads a joyful and faith-filled team that challenges young Catholics, through relational ministry, to follow Christ and embrace a life of community in the Church. With over 25 years of experience as a Catholic leader and speaker, David empowers their staff and missionaries to fulfill Jesus’ command to go and make disciples.NET Ministries (aka National Evangelization Team) started as a group of college students in St. Paul, Minnesota, who were empowered by the Holy Spirit and started retreats. It only grew from there. After 43 years of NET, the ministry grew throughout the United States and has been replicated in Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Uganda, and Australia. Former NET missionaries continue to be involved in their parishes and many join Religious Life with more than 80 Priests and 3 Bishops. During their training, NET volunteers learn formation, reconciliation, uplifting speech, the power of being heard, and the most efficient way to set up chairs at NET events. Join NET as they set up a regional hub in Dallas, Texas.

Lower Your Nets for a Catch with NET MINISTRIES | David Rinaldi | Episode #179

What gives a man purpose when his plans collapse? Dillon Caswell chats about Christian hope, Catholic faith, and the courage to serve through suffering. Caswell opens up about becoming a caregiver at 17 after his mother suffered serious complications during cancer surgery. The experience forced him to release his athletic ambitions, grow into responsibility and learn that heroism often begins with the person directly in front of you.
His story later leads through career disruption, a call to write despite dyslexia, conversion to Catholicism and a growing conviction that obedience matters more than controlling the next five years.

It is Solved by Walking | TJ Bogan | Episode #178

What does hope for America look like in 2025? A new inauguration, a national championship loss, and a 200th podcast episode offer some surprising answers. 
This week on They That Hope, Deacon Bob Rice and Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, reflect on what it means to hope—both in the life of our nation and in our own everyday moments. Against the backdrop of recent political transitions and ongoing national tensions, they discuss where real hope can be found: in unity, faith, and the freedom only God can give. 
They also take a hopeful look at the power of spiritual direction, the promise of Christian Unity, and the testimony of released hostages from Gaza. With plenty of laughs and some painful football heartbreak (we’re looking at you, Notre Dame), Father Dave and Deacon Bob celebrate their Episode 200 by offering their signature blend of humor and hope in today’s complex world. 
Thanks for journeying with us to Episode 200, here’s to hundreds more moments of humor, hope, and holiness.

Ep 83 | The Five Most Important Things To Do With Your Money

Since the mind can infer truths of which it does not have certainty, what judges the validity of an inference in concrete matters? The Illative Sense.
