In this episode, you will hear John and Victor talk about:

- The REASON your lent is getting difficult
- Being grounded in a “yes”.
- Suffering is the key to our salvation!
- Practical tips on how to suffer well!

Why Is It Hard To Keep Our Lenten Promises?

In this episode, we discuss topics like:

- Responding to workplace irritations as chances to grow in sanctity.
- Understanding work's higher purpose and aligning it with God's plan.
- Embracing total abandonment to God's will in our professional lives.
- The impact of complaining about work and how it might contradict our faith.
- The necessity of dependence on God to guide our work efforts.
- The risks of living life in wait for its end, and appreciating the present as a gift.
- Drawing lessons from Adam's work in the Garden of Eden and working "unto the Lord."
- Recognizing the trap of ego in work, where "I" becomes a barrier to experiencing work's true glory.
- Insights from St. Elizabeth Ann Seton on viewing work as a gift—not a burden but a means to enrich others' lives.

Will Work For Sanctity

Without a doubt the life of St. Paul is one of the best places to study leadership in The New Testament.  Not only is his life an example of leadership, but in his first and second letters to Timothy St. Paul exposes his heart.  He writes to his beloved son, Timothy, whom he has formed in the faith, a letter of encouragement to go all the way to the end to mee the demands of leading God’s people.  His letter gives us many wonderful insights, especially in how to rekindle the fire.

DGT Episode 162 - Rekindle The Fire - St. Paul‘ Leadership Legacy II Part 1

Join us as we “wash the cup” the way the Pharisees just couldn't. In this episode, John and Victor talk about the tendency we have towards living for the opinion of others rather than living for our relationship with God. Are your daily efforts increasing your virtue or popularity? 

In this episode we talk about:  
- That charming pick-up-the-phone voice
- How we are chameleons
- Self-awareness vs. Self Preservation
- Being ok with not being ok all the time

Keeping Up Appearances

EPISODE 174: One Body, One Mission

In this episode, John and Victor talk about the dangers of living the Faith alone. As you will hear, the  Battle of Amalek is the perfect example of this: we have a great need for other people in our life in order to do the Lord’s will with strength. 

In this episode you will hear:  
- Happiness is fleeting, but joy is constant. 
- We’re quiet about our issues and our problems. 
- What do we allow ourselves to be pulled apart by? 
- So much of our life, we spend waiting for somebody else to deal with problems that God has equipped us to deal with on our own. 

#CatholicPodcast #JustaGuyinthePew #BattleofAmalek #Dependence

One Body, One Mission

In this bonus episode with Jon Leonetti we discuss:

 - The role grilled cheese played in Jon's ministry
 - Trying to control our lives rather than giving our plans up to the Lord can lead to our disappointment
 - Moments of silence are where we can hear God the loudest
 - And more!

Why a Raised Hindu Became a Devout Catholic Christian

What if the solution to parish decline isn’t another event, but a knock at the door?

In this week’s episode, John welcomes Austin Habash, founder of Think Catholic and Sent Evangelization, to share his powerful story—from agnosticism to the Carthusian monastery, and now to leading neighborhood evangelization across the country.

Austin explains why door-to-door ministry isn’t just possible for Catholics—it’s vital. And how real transformation doesn’t start with a script, but with prayer, presence, and genuine charity.

Why do you pray? Why do you work? Why do you listen to this podcast? 
“If you don't have passion you are never going to do anything well”.  Where does that passion come from? On this week’s episode, John and Victor chat about this answer… your “why”. THAT is what is going to make a difference in how you live your everyday life. Your WHY is the detrimental factor in living a meaningful life.

In this episode, John and Victor talk about:
- Following the traditions of the family vs. claiming your own beliefs. 
- Jesus becoming REAL to John in jail
- What it means to divorce ourselves from the Lord 
- If they are a good teacher it is because they were a good witness first and you can only be a good witness if you have your WHY

What's Your Why?

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob talk about sports and why they love them (even when their teams lose), the beatification of Pope John Paul I, and Philippians 2:1-11.

Philippians 2:1-11

The second book of Pope St. Gregory The Great’s “Rule For Shepherds” comes to a close by tackling one of the thorniest problems in the heart of a leader.  Whom do we serve?  On the one hand if we serve only God we run the risk of losing the people that we are called to lead.  However, if we serve the people that we are called to lead we can sometimes run amuck of our relationship with God.  The proper balance can only be found in what I call the love of a servant.

Who Does My Life Glorify?

Father Dave and Deacon Bob come to this episode with heavy hearts, reflecting on the recent church shooting in Minnesota. They share Archbishop Bernard Hebda’s moving words of hope, grapple with the reality of evil, and talk about the call to persistent prayer. It’s a sobering reminder of the world’s brokenness—and of the hope Christians cling to when sorrow feels overwhelming. 
Yet, even in hard weeks, these two help listeners find joy and laughter: Notre Dame heartbreak, Ohio State bragging rights, Alabama’s shocking stumble, the NFL’s opening buzz, Taylor-and-Travis engagement memes, and even the joyfully bizarre antics of the Savannah Bananas. 
They also pause to look back on five years of They That Hope—from pandemic beginnings to Deacon Bob’s ordination and Franciscan University’s bold “Step in Faith” initiative—grateful for the unexpected gift of sharing life and faith through this podcast. As the show nears its final stretch, listeners are invited to share their favorite memories. Through it all, the reminder is the same: true hope isn’t found in scores or headlines, but in Christ who never abandons his people.

(01:21) Football Woes, Memes, and Bananas

(12:03) Five Years, Countless Laughs (and a Few Tears)  
With the podcast coming to a close, Father Dave and Deacon Bob rewind to its pandemic origins and how simple recorded conversations grew into a ministry of encouragement. They reflect on their friendship, their ministry together, and the joy of bringing hope and humor into uncertain times.

Deacon Bob shares how COVID unexpectedly deepened his vocation and shaped his path to the diaconate. Father Dave remembers <a href='https://franciscan.edu/step-in-faith-fund/'>Franciscan University’s “Step in Faith” initiative</a> and the surprising blessings that flowed from those bold decisions.

Exorcist Reveals the Truth About Spiritual Warfare (Fr. Vincent Lampert) | Ep. 387

Being afraid is a normal response in front of things that are threatening to us.  The problem is not that we have fear – the question is whether or not we’ll allow that fear to become a catalyst for something greater, for courage, or whether we will allow fear to paralyze us.  When Christ formed his apostles he taught them to stare down there fears and he did this by facing everything before them.  Christ led his leaders through the valleys that they would have to face themselves and he does so for us today as well.

DGT Episode 226 - Staring Down Our Fears - The Call Part 8

Today on Pints with Aquinas, I'm joined by Fr. James Brent, O.P. Fr. James is professor of philosophy at the Dominican House of Studies, and one of the most brilliant, articulate, and convincing people I've ever met. During this conversation, we dig into the philosophical soil in which atheism grows — particularly the materialist, mechanicist, nominalist, skeptic, and relativist worldviews so prevalent in our culture. We'll tackle the BIG issues, like: • Why saying there is a God or there is no God represent two radically different worldviews • How atheism is, historically, a minority position, and what's happened to change this minority position in modern times • Why true science is actually neutral about the question of God's existence • Why it feels like you're rejecting science when you reject materialism (HINT: You're not!) • The five negative positions that constitute "big tent" Platonism, and why this list is invaluable in discussions with atheists... If you enjoy BIG conversations, then grab your notepad and pen because you're really going to enjoy this episode!

Why People Become Atheists (Fr. James Brent, OP) | Ep. 219

Raised in a strict King James-only, Independent Fundamental Baptist household and trained in Christian apologetics, this Southern Baptist pastor was taught that Catholicism was not just wrong—it was dangerous. But everything began to shift when he took his own advice: go to the source.What started as an effort to refute Catholic doctrine turned into a life-changing encounter with the truth of the Eucharist, the Sacraments, the early Church, and the beauty of the Mass.“I didn’t like it. I didn’t want it to be true. But I couldn’t deny it anymore.”From “Baptism now saves you” to the testimony of the Saints, this is the gripping story of a man who lost everything—his ministry, his comfort zone, his certainty—and found the fullness of truth.🙏 Watch as he shares how Scripture, study, and the surprising power of the Mass changed his life forever.#Catholic #Protestant #testimony #CatholicConvert #FormerBaptistPastor #WhyImCatholic #ChristianApologetics #BaptismRegenerates #KJVOnly #FromFundamentalistToCatholic #TheMassChangedMe #CatholicTruth ▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

Discovering God's Will

Get your Pints With Aquinas shirt <a href="https://teespring.com/fradd">here!</a> Available for 7 days only. --- It behooved Christ to rise again, for five reasons: First of all; for the commendation of Divine Justice, to which it belongs to exalt them who humble themselves for God's sake, according to Luke 1:52: "He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble." Consequently, because Christ humbled Himself even to the death of the Cross, from love and obedience to God, it behooved Him to be uplifted by God to a glorious resurrection; hence it is said in His Person (Psalm 138:2): "Thou hast known," i.e. approved, "my sitting down," i.e. My humiliation and Passion, "and my rising up," i.e. My glorification in the resurrection; as the gloss expounds. Secondly, for our instruction in the faith, since our belief in Christ's Godhead is confirmed by His rising again, because, according to 2 Corinthians 13:4, "although He was crucified through weakness, yet He liveth by the power of God." And therefore it is written (1 Corinthians 15:14): "If Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and our [Vulgate: 'your'] faith is also vain": and (Psalm 29:10): "What profit is there in my blood?" that is, in the shedding of My blood, "while I go down," as by various degrees of evils, "into corruption?" As though He were to answer: "None. 'For if I do not at once rise again but My body be corrupted, I shall preach to no one, I shall gain no one,'" as the gloss expounds. Thirdly, for the raising of our hope, since through seeing Christ, who is our head, rise again, we hope that we likewise shall rise again. Hence it is written (1 Corinthians 15:12): "Now if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead, how do some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?" And (Job 19:25-27): "I know," that is with certainty of faith, "that my Redeemer," i.e. Christ, "liveth," having risen from the dead; "and" therefore "in the last day I shall rise out of the earth . . . this my hope is laid up in my bosom." Fourthly, to set in order the lives of the faithful: according to Romans 6:4: "As Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life": and further on; "Christ rising from the dead dieth now no more; so do you also reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive to God." Fifthly, in order to complete the work of our salvation: because, just as for this reason did He endure evil things in dying that He might deliver us from evil, so was He glorified in rising again in order to advance us towards good things; according to Romans 4:25: "He was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification."

100: How do we know Christ rose from the dead?

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

St. Maximilian KOLBE - Pray for Us | Season One Finale | Episode #050

Objection 1. It would seem that it is not necessary to confess to a priest. For we are not bound to confession, except in virtue of its Divine institution. Now its Divine institution is made known to us (James 5:16): "Confess your sins, one to another," where there is no mention of a priest. Therefore it is not necessary to confess to a priest. Objection 2. Further, Penance is a necessary sacrament, as is also Baptism. But any man is the minister of Baptism, on account of its necessity. Therefore any man is the minister of Penance. Now confession should be made to the minister of Penance. Therefore it suffices to confess to anyone. Objection 3. Further, confession is necessary in order that the measure of satisfaction should be imposed on the penitent. Now, sometimes another than a priest might be more discreet than many priests are in imposing the measure of satisfaction on the penitent. Therefore it is not necessary to confess to a priest. Objection 4. Further, confession was instituted in the Church in order that the rectors might know their sheep by sight. But sometimes a rector or prelate is not a priest. Therefore confession should not always be made to a priest. On the contrary, The absolution of the penitent, for the sake of which he makes his confession, is imparted by none but priests to whom the keys are intrusted. Therefore confession should be made to a priest. Further, confession is foreshadowed in the raising of the dead Lazarus to life. Now our Lord commanded none but the disciples to loose Lazarus (John 11:44). Therefore confession should be made to a priest. I answer that, The grace which is given in the sacraments, descends from the Head to the members. Wherefore he alone who exercises a ministry over Christ's true body is a minister of the sacraments, wherein grace is given; and this belongs to a priest alone, who can consecrate the Eucharist. Therefore, since grace is given in the sacrament of Penance, none but a priest is the minister of the sacrament: and consequently sacramental confession which should be made to a minister of the Church, should be made to none but a priest. Reply to Objection 1. James speaks on the presupposition of the Divine institutions: and since confession had already been prescribed by God to be made to a priest, in that He empowered them, in the person of the apostles, to forgive sins, as related in John 20:23, we must take the words of James as conveying an admonishment to confess to priests. Reply to Objection 2. Baptism is a sacrament of greater necessity than Penance, as regards confession and absolution, because sometimes Baptism cannot be omitted without loss of eternal salvation, as in the case of children who have not come to the use of reason: whereas this cannot be said of confession and absolution, which regard none but adults, in whom contrition, together with the purpose of confessing and the desire of absolution, suffices to deliver them from everlasting death. Consequently there is no parity between Baptism and confession. Reply to Objection 3. In satisfaction we must consider not only the quantity of the punishment but also its power, inasmuch as it is part of a sacrament. In this way it requires a dispenser of the sacraments, though the quantity of the punishment may be fixed by another than a priest. Reply to Objection 4. It may be necessary for two reasons to know the sheep by sight. First, in order to register them as members of Christ's flock, and to know the sheep by sight thus belongs to the pastoral charge and care, which is sometimes the duty of those who are not priests. Secondly, that they may be provided with suitable remedies for their health; and to know the sheep by sight thus belongs to the man, i.e. the priest, whose business it is to provide remedies conducive to health, such as the sacrament of the Eucharist, and other like things. It is to this knowledge of the sheep that confession is ordained. --- Quotes from the early Church (taken from Catholic.com) The Didache "Confess your sins in church, and do not go up to your prayer with an evil conscience. This is the way of life. . . . On the Lord's Day gather together, break bread, and give thanks, after confessing your transgressions so that your sacrifice may be pure" (Didache 4:14, 14:1 [A.D. 70]). The Letter of Barnabas "You shall judge righteously. You shall not make a schism, but you shall pacify those that contend by bringing them together. You shall confess your sins. You shall not go to prayer with an evil conscience. This is the way of light" (Letter of Barnabas 19 [A.D. 74]). Ignatius of Antioch "For as many as are of God and of Jesus Christ are also with the bishop. And as many as shall, in the exercise of penance, return into the unity of the Church, these, too, shall belong to God, that they may live according to Jesus Christ" (Letter to the Philadelphians 3 [A.D. 110]). "For where there is division and wrath, God does not dwell. To all them that repent, the Lord grants forgiveness, if they turn in penitence to the unity of God, and to communion with the bishop" (ibid., 8). Irenaeus "[The Gnostic disciples of Marcus] have deluded many women. . . . Their consciences have been branded as with a hot iron. Some of these women make a public confession, but others are ashamed to do this, and in silence, as if withdrawing from themselves the hope of the life of God, they either apostatize entirely or hesitate between the two courses" (Against Heresies 1:22 [A.D. 189]). Tertullian "[Regarding confession, some] flee from this work as being an exposure of themselves, or they put it off from day to day. I presume they are more mindful of modesty than of salvation, like those who contract a disease in the more shameful parts of the body and shun making themselves known to the physicians; and thus they perish along with their own bashfulness" (Repentance 10:1 [A.D. 203]). Hippolytus "[The bishop conducting the ordination of the new bishop shall pray:] God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. . . . Pour forth now that power which comes from you, from your royal Spirit, which you gave to your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and which he bestowed upon his holy apostles . . . and grant this your servant, whom you have chosen for the episcopate, [the power] to feed your holy flock and to serve without blame as your high priest, ministering night and day to propitiate unceasingly before your face and to offer to you the gifts of your holy Church, and by the Spirit of the high priesthood to have the authority to forgive sins, in accord with your command" (Apostolic Tradition 3 [A.D. 215]). Origen "[A final method of forgiveness], albeit hard and laborious [is] the remission of sins through penance, when the sinner . . . does not shrink from declaring his sin to a priest of the Lord and from seeking medicine, after the manner of him who say, 'I said, "To the Lord I will accuse myself of my iniquity"'" (Homilies on Leviticus 2:4 [A.D. 248]). Cyprian of Carthage "The apostle [Paul] likewise bears witness and says: ' . . . Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord' [1 Cor. 11:27]. But [the impenitent] spurn and despise all these warnings; before their sins are expiated, before they have made a confession of their crime, before their conscience has been purged in the ceremony and at the hand of the priest . . . they do violence to [the Lord's] body and blood, and with their hands and mouth they sin against the Lord more than when they denied him" (The Lapsed 15:1–3 (A.D. 251]). "Of how much greater faith and salutary fear are they who . . . confess their sins to the priests of God in a straightforward manner and in sorrow, making an open declaration of conscience. . . . I beseech you, brethren, let everyone who has sinned confess his sin while he is still in this world, while his confession is still admissible, while the satisfaction and remission made through the priests are still pleasing before the Lord" (ibid., 28). "[S]inners may do penance for a set time, and according to the rules of discipline come to public confession, and by imposition of the hand of the bishop and clergy receive the right of Communion. [But now some] with their time [of penance] still unfulfilled . . . they are admitted to Communion, and their name is presented; and while the penitence is not yet performed, confession is not yet made, the hands of the bishop and clergy are not yet laid upon them, the Eucharist is given to them; although it is written, 'Whosoever shall eat the bread and drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord' [1 Cor. 11:27]" (Letters 9:2 [A.D. 253]). "And do not think, dearest brother, that either the courage of the brethren will be lessened, or that martyrdoms will fail for this cause, that penance is relaxed to the lapsed, and that the hope of peace [i.e., absolution] is offered to the penitent. . . . For to adulterers even a time of repentance is granted by us, and peace is given" (ibid., 51[55]:20). "But I wonder that some are so obstinate as to think that repentance is not to be granted to the lapsed, or to suppose that pardon is to be denied to the penitent, when it is written, 'Remember whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works' [Rev. 2:5], which certainly is said to him who evidently has fallen, and whom the Lord exhorts to rise up again by his deeds [of penance], because it is written, 'Alms deliver from death' [Tob. 12:9]" (ibid., 51[55]:22). Aphraahat the Persian Sage "You [priests], then, who are disciples of our illustrious physician [Christ], you ought not deny a curative to those in need of healing. And if anyone uncovers his wound before you, give him the remedy of repentance. And he that is ashamed to make known his weakness, encourage him so that he will not hide it from you. And when he has revealed it to you, do not make it public, lest because of it the innocent might be reckoned as guilty by our enemies and by those who hate us" (Treatises 7:3 [A.D. 340]). Basil the Great "It is necessary to confess our sins to those to whom the dispensation of God's mysteries is entrusted. Those doing penance of old are found to have done it before the saints. It is written in the Gospel that they confessed their sins to John the Baptist [Matt. 3:6], but in Acts [19:18] they confessed to the apostles" (Rules Briefly Treated 288 [A.D. 374]).

God Doesn't Want You To Be AFRAID | Mthr Natalia

The second letter to St. Timothy is one of St. Paul’s most important letters.  Written at the end of his life, St. Paul leaves a legacy in the heart of Timothy for how he sees good leadership.  It remains for us an amazing example of God’s teaching for us on the power and truth of our own leadership and gives us valuable insights on what it means to please Christ by being a good soldier for Him.

On today's episode, we clarify the Christian concept of love and how it is wildly different from what we see in romantic movies or hear in Taylor Swift songs.In Part 1, we'll discuss the different types of love outlined by C.S. Lewis and how Christians view each type. Pay close attention to the definition of Agape love which is the kind of love that Christ embodied by dying on the cross f...

How Science Reveals God: Near Death Experiences, Miracles, and the Shroud of Turin | Father Robert Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D

Liberalism is failing. Instead of making us more free, we are becoming more isolated from what makes us most human: from community, family, and friendship. Debates between progressives and conservatives continue to no end, but things only seem to get worse. In this episode of Pints with Aquinas, Dr. Andrew Willard Jones presents a paradigm shift for politics. Against the story of secularism, where politics and religion are separate realms, Andrew argues that Christ came to save all that is human: politics, economics, business—all of it. Instead of fighting over a failing liberalism, Andrew shows us why (and how) we should redeem politics by building families and communities of Christian love.

Paradigm Altering Political Theory (Dr. Andrew Willard Jones) | Ep. 454

Called the Prince of Paradox G.K. Chesterton was one of the greatest thinkers and writers of the 20th Century. JRR Tolkien memorized all 143 lines of Chesterton's "Lepanto". C.S. Lewis once said, "the best popular defense of the full Christian position I know is G. K. Chesterton's The Everlasting Man." Ronald Knox, the Scholar and Biblical Translator, homilizing at his funeral said, "All of this generation has grown up under Chesterton's influence so completely that we do not even know when we are thinking Chesterton".

The world is crying; this cry manifests itself in despair, anxiety and fear.

Jared Zimmerer, Senior Director of the Word on Fire Institute, delivered this lecture for the Knights of Columbus “Men of the Cross” initiative entitled “How Self-Control is Strengthened by Endurance.”

In this talk Jared discusses:

- Ways in which we can live self-discipline through the mind, body, and soul
- Images that the saints and philosophers have given to help us on this journey
- How a relationship with the Church and Jesus Christ is the path to real freedom
- Practical tips from spiritual masters on how to live out this freedom


Men of the Cross with Jared Zimmerer

So often in life we see people settling for the minimum. Mass one day per week, putting in the least amount of effort at work, looking to fulfill, and never exceed, any expectations in relationships, etc.&nbsp;
What does it look like to be average? We've spent a few weeks now talking about what mediocrity looks like in mental health, physical health, personal finance, and job satisfaction. Today, we take a look at what it looks like to be an average Catholic in modern day America.&nbsp;
Spoiler alert: &nbsp;it's not great
I wasn't incredibly surprised by the stats I found, but it was still sobering to see the reality of the world we currently live in.&nbsp;
Follow us @seeking365 and @ncrank23 for more great content!

Ep 126: The Average American Catholic

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

DGT Episode 87 Courageous Leadership Part 8 - Pope St. John Paul II

We are enslaved by our attachments to this world. But the world REJECTED Christ. 
How could we love both Jesus and the world if they oppose each other? 
The world and Jesus just don't mesh. 

We must choose to submit ourselves FULLY to Jesus and “take nothing with us” like the true disciples we are made to be.

This Secret-Sauce-Episode includes spicy content about:

- Elijah's abandonment  
- What it means to ~actually~ follow Jesus
- The 5 checks to being a disciple in daily life

Steven W. Mosher is an internationally recognized authority on China and population issues, as well as an acclaimed author and speaker. He has worked tirelessly since 1979 to fight coercive population control programs and has helped hundreds of thousands of women and families worldwide over the years.
 
In 1979, Steven was the first American social scientist to visit mainland China. He was invited there by the Chinese government, where he had access to government documents and actually witnessed women being forced to have abortions under the new “one-child policy.” Mr. Mosher was a pro-choice atheist at the time, but witnessing these traumatic abortions led him to reconsider his convictions and to eventually become a practicing, pro-life Roman Catholic.
 
Steven has appeared numerous times before Congress as an expert in world population, China, and human rights abuses. He has also made TV appearances on Fox News, Good Morning America, 60 Minutes, The Today Show, 20/20, and CNN news, as well as being a regular guest on talk radio shows across the nation.
 
He is also the author of the best-selling A Mother’s Ordeal: One Woman’s Fight Against China’s One-Child Policy. His other books include Population Control: Real Costs and Illusory Benefits, Hegemon: China’s Plan to Dominate Asia and the World, China Attacks, China Misperceived: American Illusions and Chinese Reality, Journey to the Forbidden China, and Broken Earth: The Rural Chinese.
 
Articles by Steve have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Reader’s Digest, The New Republic, The Washington Post, National Review, Reason, The Asian Wall Street Journal, Freedom Review, Linacre Quarterly, Catholic World Report, Human Life Review, First Things, and numerous other publications.
 
Steven Mosher lives in Ave Maria with his wife, Vera. He has nine children.

<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.

Pints With Aquinas: 50+ Deep Thoughts From the Angelic Doctor - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pints-Aquinas-Thoughts-Angelic-Doctor/dp/0692752404/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1477940120&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=pints+with+aquinas">https://www.amazon.com/Pints-Aquinas-Thoughts-Angelic-Doctor/dp/0692752404/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1477940120&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=pints+with+aquinas</a> PintsWithAquinas.com --- Objection 1. It would seem that the star which appeared to the Magi belonged to the heavenly system. For Augustine says in a sermon on the Epiphany (cxxii): "While God yet clings to the breast, and suffers Himself to be wrapped in humble swaddling clothes, suddenly a new star shines forth in the heavens." Therefore the star which appeared to the Magi belonged to the heavenly system. Objection 2. Further, Augustine says in a sermon on the Epiphany (cci): "Christ was made known to the shepherds by angels, to the Magi by a star. A heavenly tongue speaks to both, because the tongue of the prophets spoke no longer." But the angels who appeared to the shepherds were really angels from heaven. Therefore also the star which appeared to the Magi was really a star from the heavens. Objection 3. Further, stars which are not in the heavens but in the air are called comets, which do not appear at the birth of kings, but rather are signs of their approaching death. But this star was a sign of the King's birth: wherefore the Magi said (Matthew 2:2): "Where is He that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east." Therefore it seems that it was a star from the heavens. On the contrary, Augustine says (Contra Faust. ii): "It was not one of those stars which since the beginning of the creation observe the course appointed to them by the Creator; but this star was a stranger to the heavens, and made its appearance at the strange sight of a virgin in childbirth." I answer that, As Chrysostom says (Hom. vi in Matth.), it is clear, for many reasons, that the star which appeared to the Magi did not belong to the heavenly system. First, because no other star approaches from the same quarter as this star, whose course was from north to south, these being the relative positions of Persia, whence the Magi came, and Judea. Secondly, from the time [at which it was seen]. For it appeared not only at night, but also at midday: and no star can do this, not even the moon. Thirdly, because it was visible at one time and hidden at another. For when they entered Jerusalem it hid itself: then, when they had left Herod, it showed itself again. Fourthly, because its movement was not continuous, but when the Magi had to continue their journey the star moved on; when they had to stop the star stood still; as happened to the pillar of a cloud in the desert. Fifthly, because it indicated the virginal Birth, not by remaining aloft, but by coming down below. For it is written (Matthew 2:9) that "the star which they had seen in the east went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was." Whence it is evident that the words of the Magi, "We have seen His star in the east," are to be taken as meaning, not that when they were in the east the star appeared over the country of Judea, but that when they saw the star it was in the east, and that it preceded them into Judea (although this is considered doubtful by some). But it could not have indicated the house distinctly, unless it were near the earth. And, as he [Chrysostom] observes, this does not seem fitting to a star, but "of some power endowed with reason." Consequently "it seems that this was some invisible force made visible under the form of a star." Wherefore some say that, as the Holy Ghost, after our Lord's Baptism, came down on Him under the form of a dove, so did He appear to the Magi under the form of a star. While others say that the angel who, under a human form, appeared to the shepherds, under the form of a star, appeared to the Magi. But it seems more probable that it was a newly created star, not in the heavens, but in the air near the earth, and that its movement varied according to God's will. Wherefore Pope Leo says in a sermon on the Epiphany (xxxi): "A star of unusual brightness appeared to the three Magi in the east, which, through being more brilliant and more beautiful than the other stars, drew men's gaze and attention: so that they understood at once that such an unwonted event could not be devoid of purpose." Reply to Objection 1. In Holy Scripture the air is sometimes called the heavens--for instance, "The birds of the heavens [Douay: 'air'] and the fishes of the sea." Reply to Objection 2. The angels of heaven, by reason of their very office, come down to us, being "sent to minister." But the stars of heaven do not change their position. Wherefore there is no comparison. Reply to Objection 3. As the star did not follow the course of the heavenly stars, so neither did it follow the course of the comets, which neither appear during the daytime nor vary their customary course. Nevertheless in its signification it has something in common with the comets. Because the heavenly kingdom of Christ "shall break in pieces, and shall consume all the kingdoms" of the earth, "and itself shall stand for ever" (Daniel 2:44).

34: Was the star which lead the magi a real star?

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.

Bear Woznick from a Long Ride Home and Bear Woznick’s Deep Adventure Ministries
All the way from Hawaii, Bear Woznick is a long way from the pub; joining Sean and in a dram of American Whiskey each toting respectively a taste of Jack Daniels and Maker's Mark.
Bear doesn’t look at Bear’s Man Cave as a way to run from his wife like some men would. &nbsp;No his Cave is more what the desert is to the Early Church Fathers. &nbsp;Except for him, it’s a place to minister men in the faith. &nbsp;Bear and Sean have much in common, both real, both evangelists, both on fire for the Lord, both started on an embarrassingly small sized Honda motorcycle.
If sour mash and bourbon is to Harley and Victory, you can guess which one rides which.
This world adventurer and tandem surfing champion, sporting an impressive St. Benedict’s ring is alway eager to share about his faith and his adventures including getting a work out with his wife thanks to a Honu. Come and listen to Bear as he shares about his mana and the manaho he’s acquired. &nbsp;He gives you the secret to being able to ride the 85 foot waves the faithful will encounter. &nbsp;Yes, it does require courage. &nbsp;But Bear affirms, that’s what we’re made for… and it starts young.

A Dram With Bear Woznick

Join us in the pew this week as John and Victor reflect on their own seasons of hopelessness and what it means to feel stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break—whether it’s addiction, broken relationships, or the crushing belief that things will never get better.

But despair isn't the end. They also discuss that with Christ, you can fight for hope, even when you can’t feel it. When you keep showing up in prayer, the sacraments, scripture, and community, John and Victor share how choosing hope—even a hundred times a day—is the most courageous thing a man can do.

If you take anything from this podcast, know that you are not alone. Despair doesn’t get the final word when you place your trust in Christ and rely on the grace of the Holy Spirit.

What is Gentleness, REALLY? | Mother Natalia

There are three ways of knowing a thing: first, by revelation, and thus anyone may know that he has grace, for God by a special privilege reveals this at times to some, in order that the joy of safety may begin in them even in this life, and that they may carry on toilsome works with greater trust and greater energy, and may bear the evils of this present life, as when it was said to Paul (2 Corinthians 12:9): "My grace is sufficient for thee." Secondly, a man may, of himself, know something, and with certainty; and in this way no one can know that he has grace. For certitude about a thing can only be had when we may judge of it by its proper principle. Thus it is by undemonstrable universal principles that certitude is obtained concerning demonstrative conclusions. Now no one can know he has the knowledge of a conclusion if he does not know its principle. But the principle of grace and its object is God, Who by reason of His very excellence is unknown to us, according to Job 36:26: "Behold God is great, exceeding our knowledge." And hence His presence in us and His absence cannot be known with certainty, according to Job 9:11: "If He come to me, I shall not see Him; if He depart I shall not understand." And hence man cannot judge with certainty that he has grace, according to 1 Corinthians 4:3-4: "But neither do I judge my own self . . . but He that judgeth me is the Lord." Thirdly, things are known conjecturally by signs; and thus anyone may know he has grace, when he is conscious of delighting in God, and of despising worldly things, and inasmuch as a man is not conscious of any mortal sin. And thus it is written (Apocalypse 2:17): "To him that overcometh I will give the hidden manna . . . which no man knoweth, but he that receiveth it," because whoever receives it knows, by experiencing a certain sweetness, which he who does not receive it, does not experience. Yet this knowledge is imperfect; hence the Apostle says (1 Corinthians 4:4): "I am not conscious to myself of anything, yet am I not hereby justified," since, according to Psalm 18:13: "Who can understand sins? From my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord, and from those of others spare Thy servant." ST I-II. Q. 112, A. 5.

Ep 44 - Satan's 5 Generals

Most of us are aware of the story of King David, of the way that God blessed him and of God’s eternal covenant with David.  And most of us are aware of the story of Bathsheba and David’s famous lack of chastity.  The lessons of the life of David for our spiritual lives are many and deep.  But studying his failures from Bathsheba to Absalom his son to his census of Israel teaches us a powerful lesson about God’s merciful love for his leaders.

A Dram with Robert E. Tunmire

Jesus commands men to avoid unrighteous anger and warns of the fires of Hell. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of Knowledge from the Holy Spirit so he can memorize and live by The 10 Commandments and by building the Virtue of Meekness so he can seek to live in the Beatitude of Meekness.

Episode 129 - Jesus commands men to avoid unrighteous anger and warns of the fires of Hell - Friday February 23, 2024 - Mt 5:20-26
