About our drink:

We recorded on a Tuesday while on http://www.exodus90.com (Exodus90), so that means we are sipping on the water!

About our gear:

N/A - we jumped right into the topic

About the Topic:

It's important for men to gather in a small men's group. But how do we get men to the parish? What's the most important thing once we get them there? We talk about this with our guest, Fr. Brian O'Brien.

Men's groups should focus on:

Events led by men

Jesus Christ as the focus

Emphasis on reconciliation and the Eucharist

Catechesis with a male perspective

A commitment of the Bishop and priests

Build off of existing men's groups

Hold diocese-wide events on a regular basis

Hold frequent parish-focused men's events

Incorporating "dad-kid" events

http://exodus90.com/?utm_source=catholicmanshow&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=exodus90-2022&utm_content=catholicmanshow-email-1 (Exodus90) starts JANUARY 17! 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 http://exodus90.com/?utm_source=catholicmanshow&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=exodus90-2022&utm_content=catholicmanshow-email-1 (Exodus 90)

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.
