Adam's about to be Coweta's biggest celebrity. Porter and Prairie Farm's SEO game has worked so well that a Tulsa news station called wanting an interview about egg prices and how they're crushing family farms. Problem is, Adam has no idea what egg prices are doing anywhere else. He just knows what he charges, and that they've lost 35 chickens in two weeks. Lady Haylee, in her prudence, said maybe skip the interview. Adam already said yes. The real debate of the week: overalls or no overalls for the camera. Overalls, obviously. Carhartt, not blue jean, collared shirt underneath. Now both guys want branded farm overalls, Niles Ranch and Fecundity Farm for Dave, Porter and Prairie Family Farm for Adam.

Dave's week wasn't any calmer. He harvested and shucked 500 to 700 ears of corn with the whole family, then blanched all of it late into the night while Lady Pamela held down a house full of unexpected company. His exact line on the way out the door: "I gotta go drink with my buddy for Jesus. It's a ministry, babe." Piglets are due any day, and this time he's praying they're born alive.

The pour is a revisit: Salterra 14-Year Single Malt Scotch, finished in an Oloroso barrel, 48% ABV. Warm, not hot. Worth going back to.

The prayer request is Mary. She's got an eye procedure Thursday, lasers, to make sure her retina stays attached so she doesn't go blind. She needs to put on weight first. Some days she gains 70 grams, some days she loses it. Thank you for praying. Keep it up.

Then the real topic: what actually happens to your soul between the moment you die and the resurrection of your body. Can fire really burn something with no body to burn? Pulling from Aquinas's Summa, the guys walk through it. Your body dies, your soul doesn't, and it faces judgment immediately, heaven, hell, or purgatory on the way to heaven. The senses go dark since they run through bodily organs, but the intellect and the will, the parts that never needed a body to operate, stay fully awake. Aquinas's answer to the fire question: it doesn't burn the soul like a stove burns wood. It binds it. In sin, you subjected your higher self to a lower appetite, so in justice, a lower thing, fire, now holds your higher self captive. It's God's instrument, not chemistry.

Then the bonus round: limbo. The limbo of the fathers, emptied by Christ at the Harrowing of Hell. The limbo of infants, never defined as dogma, still debated, and Dave's new coinage for where he thinks it actually belongs: limburgatory. A place with no suffering doesn't belong bolted onto hell.

Protect what you love. Provide the truth even when it costs you something. Establish your kids in what's actually at stake. Raise your glass.

For the 4th of July, the 250th birthday of America, Adam did the most Okie thing a man can do to celebrate: he took the family to a rodeo. Both boys went mutton busting, Friday and Saturday. Leo, six, drew a slow sheep the second night and rode it a full 17 seconds, hanging on and hollering "keep going, keep going!" into its ear because he knew he needed that sheep to move to score.

He placed top three, took home a little money and a free snow cone, and nobody's sure which one he was prouder of. John, three, puffed his chest out all day, crumbled at the chute, rode two seconds, hit the dirt, cried, and then immediately declared he was doing it again tomorrow. He did. Same result. He was in it for the story.

Then there's Adam and the bull. He's always had the itch to put himself on the line, to go where it takes fortitude and prudence and a whole lot of luck. So he slipped up to the chute with the cowboys, just to feel the atmosphere next to something that powerful. A storm blew in and cut the bull riding short. Adam's calling that one Providence, same as the fight that got cancelled back when COVID shut down the world. Some signs you don't get to ignore.

The pour is Teeling Wonders of Wood Single Pot Still, Virgin Swedish Oak. Ninety three dollars, and worth it. No Jim on hand to work the yummy scale, so the guys guessed it might've metamorphosed into a 7.321. Deep, resonant, dangerously delicious.

The prayer request is Mary. She's a little over four months now, still in the NICU. Adam sent a photo of her smiling right through all the tubing, and it melted everybody. It's been a hard stretch, a step back, but she recovered fast, her breathing's improving, and there's talk of scheduling open heart surgery in the next four to six months. Adam described the NICU "tree," the pole that once held fifteen to twenty bags and lines and now holds four. Look where they were. Look where they are. Thank you for the prayers. They have not been in vain, and Lady Haylee has been heroic through all of it.

Then the topic: what to do when you're struggling. Not just spiritual struggle. Focus, work, sin, the whole weight of it. Most of it isn't laziness. It's disorder, a misalignment between the intellect and the appetites, an internal civil war stoked by stress and exhaustion and distraction. Aquinas names it. Augustine sharpens it: the mind commands the body and it obeys instantly, but the mind commands itself and is resisted. Adam's own admission cut deepest. There is a part of him that does not want to be holy. Naming that was the whole battle. Once he saw the enemy clearly, fasting and prayer stopped feeling like punishment and started feeling like war worth waging. Protect, provide, establish, and fight for your own soul while you're at it. Win the next 15 minutes. Then win the next one. Raise your glass.

Adam took the family on his parents' annual vacation this week, and Grandpa rented four jet skis. With a house full of kids, four turned out to be exactly the right number. Adam threw Luke off the back four times, which he's counting as a win. But the real event was the card game. If you've never played spoons with the Minihan family, know this going in: it ends in blood. Sheetrock has been broken. Tables have taken damage. Adam came home with a scratch, a bruise, and a loss he's still sore about. His sister Kaylin was his rival, so he spent the whole game yanking the spoons to the far end of the table just to make her fly for one. Then Grandpa broke out the karaoke machine after the kids went down, and Adam lassoed Lady Haylee into a duet of "Jackson." Every man should have a go-to karaoke song ready for when the moment finds him. Adam jokes, God help him, is "My Heart Will Go On."

Dave, by his own admission, has no fun stories. He spent the weekend working himself to the bone, finished cutting his wheat, and pulled a good harvest. Adam brought up while his family was away, something got into the coop. A fox or a coyote, most likely, because a raccoon doesn't kill a dozen birds. They lost the four new chicks and the brooding hens. Chicken math giveth, and this week it took away.

The pour is 1792 Full Proof, a single-barrel store pick from Broken Arrow Wine and Spirits, a Catholic-owned shop. It's barrel strength and it drinks hot. Jim, keeper of the yummy scale, gave it a 5.99 out of 6, then shrugged and told the guys to be indifferent to it. Which, as it happens, is the whole show.

Because tonight the topic is holy indifference, and Adam frames it first through ordering your day. Reading Sertillanges' The Intellectual Life, he lands on a hard truth: you are not at the mercy of your mood, and the man who waits until he feels like it never starts. Order gets carried out precisely when you don't feel like it, because the hierarchy of what matters doesn't shift with how you feel. Decide what a good day looks like before the day begins. Get your three to five things done no matter what the highs and lows throw at you. Kill the second alarm. Don't become a slave to the pillow. Small time used faithfully beats big time used erratically. And guard your silence, because a scattered mind can't go deep, and the first place you feel the noise is in adoration.

Then the turn. Holy indifference isn't apathy. It's the opposite. It's a hyper-preference, wanting the will of God so completely that you stop caring whether He sends riches or poverty, health or sickness, a long life or a short one. St. Ignatius calls it indifference to all created things. St. Francis de Sales sharpens it: the resigned man accepts God's will but still quietly prefers his own, while the indifferent man has let go of the preference itself. Wax in the hand. Clay in the potter's grip. Dave brings it home with the night a car stopped short in front of him and he thought, what if I'd just died? His first panic was, who takes care of my family? And the answer he heard was, do you think you're the one who takes care of them? Have they not always been Mine first? Protect, provide, establish, and then hold it all loosely. You can't abandon yourself to a God you don't trust, so build the faith that lets you trust Him. Raise your glass.

There's a new Niles in the world. Joshua Benedict Rex was born this week, and Dave wants you to know how stressful it all was. For the dad, that is. The pressure. The anxiety. All those things. None of which come to mind right now. Joke's on Dave, though, because Lady Pamela got to the birth center, the midwife offered to break her water, and Joshua arrived eleven minutes later. That's boy number three, bringing the count to three boys and four girls. Adam got the "we're going in" text at the hospital, stopped to pray, and barely beat the birth. The baby's a content little guy. A stereotypical Niles baby, the spitting image of baby Davy. Baptism's in a couple weeks with Uncle Father Sean, godparents are Sarah and Drew, and somewhere in there is a real theology question the guys throw to the priests who listen: can you name godparents after the fact for a baby baptized in a rush? Asking for a Mary.

That birth set the whole table. Every time a baby comes into this circle of friends, the men pull their money, buy one nicer bottle of whiskey, sign it with the kid's name, and drink it together. They call it the "baby bottles" tradition. It blends friends into family. And it's exactly the kind of gift that makes you grateful, which is what this whole episode is about.

They're recording on a Friday, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, the same day the bishops of America consecrated the entire country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The pour is Glendalough, a pot still Irish whiskey the guys actually visited on pilgrimage. Triple distilled by law, smooth, no burn, and oddly cheap. The bottle shows St. Kevin in cruciform, a bird nesting in his open hand. The pious legend says he held that prayer posture so long the eggs hatched. Jim's scale (Irish edition): 3.96 out of 6.

Then the meat: gratitude. Not the bumper-sticker kind. Gratitude is a virtue, a sub-virtue of justice, because it renders to another what's due, first to God who gave us everything. Aquinas lays out three degrees: recognition, expression, repayment. Most of us fail at the first one. We take the morning, the clothes, the breath for granted. St. Bernard calls ingratitude a scorching wind that dries up the streams of grace. God pours, the man doesn't return thanks, the flow stops.

The hardest, most masculine turn in the episode is receiving. Men hate it. I don't need your charity. I can carry this cross. But refusing a gift graciously offered isn't humility. It's a wall. Adam's lived on the receiving end through Mary's time in the NICU, and he's learned the Christian paradox: the more graciously indebted you are, the richer your life, because the score is never even. That's not a debt to clear. That's a brotherhood.

And the punchline ties it all together. Eucharist means thanksgiving. A man of gratitude is a Eucharistic man. You can't repay God for creating you, so He came down, became one of us, and offered Himself on your behalf. All you have to do is show up. Protect, provide, establish, and give thanks. Raise your glass.

Adam's on the front porch watching one of those Oklahoma sunsets that make you forgive the state for everything else. Dave pulls up. Walks toward the house, chest out, confident, ready to record. Adam asks the only question that matters: did you bring the equipment? He did not. New baby syndrome. Joshua got his first bath that night, Lady Pamela's still on the mend and bending over a tub isn't on the menu yet, and somewhere between bathing the kids and getting out the door, the recording gear stayed home. So Dave logged a solid hour of windshield time driving back and forth across town to fetch it. The baby's worth it. Six days old and already back to birth weight, sleeping three hours at a stretch, an almost unfairly easy kid for a man who's had colicky ones before.

The pour is a curveball: Saltire, a 14-year independent bottling distilled at Tomar, a first-fill Oloroso sherry cask. It's a Speyside, but nobody at the table would've guessed it. It drinks salty, like saltwater taffy, like it grew up near the ocean. The notes promise polished leather, dried cherries, tobacco, and, if you add water, burnt sugar, hazelnut, and "speckled chocolate milk," a phrase that derailed the conversation for a solid minute because nobody could agree what speckled chocolate milk is supposed to be. Cheers to Jesus. We're on the winning side.

Then Adam reaches past the planned backbiting episode, grabs Francis Weiser's Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs off the shelf, and lands on something better: the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, June 24th.

Here's the hook that got him. The Church only celebrates three birthdays. Jesus. Our Lady. And John the Baptist. Everybody else gets honored on the day they die, because for a saint that's the real birthday, the day they enter eternal life. So why John? The tradition says all three were born free from original sin. John wasn't conceived without it like Jesus and Mary, but he was sanctified in the womb when he leapt at the sound of Our Lady's voice at the Visitation. Born clean. St. Augustine treats it as a settled tradition, and if the Fathers are in, the guys are in.

The logic of the date is the part that'll stick with you. June 24th rides the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and from there the light starts to wane all the way down to Christmas and the winter solstice, when it turns and climbs again. John said it himself: I must decrease, so that He must increase. That's not just a calendar coincidence. It's a map of the soul. The more room you take up in your own heart, the less there is for Christ. If you want Him to be king there, you've got to get out of the way.

Then the fun: how to actually live it. Put it on the calendar and get to Mass. Pray the Benedictus as a family and light a candle. Build a bonfire on the eve, John the Baptist is one of the three fires on the Catholic year. Feed the kids honey sticks and, if you're brave, dried crickets, locusts and wild honey, desert food. Make it the anchor of your summer. This is the Establish pillar in the flesh, the small traditions that hand your kids an identity they'll carry for life. Catholic spice. Raise your glass.

Dave took another trip to the emergency room this week — though this one wasn't for him. His daughter Bernadette and one of his boys built a foam block bridge, she went off the side of it, landed on the wall, and broke her clavicle. Clean break. When Adam got the x-ray, he zoomed in, screenshotted just the broken collarbone, and sent it to Lady Haylee with no context — let her think Adam had been out grinding, building fences, shouldering it like a tough guy. Bernadette, for the record, is doing great. Three weeks and she's back to normal. As Dave put it, if you're going to break your clavicle, do it young. Don't do it at Jim's age.

A lot of life packed into this one before the topic. Adam and his boys, Luke and Jude, are going to read the Aeneid together this summer — Luke already read it at Holy Family Classical School, so he'll lead the way. Adam helped Dave harvest wheat (the invoice is coming), and the two of them talked homesteading honestly: you don't get into it to save time or money. It's a lifestyle, and the pork chop costs $400 if you're foolish enough to count your own labor. Adam also turned 40 — by the time this airs, the birthday's passed — and he spent his Substack this week reflecting on the four ten-year cycles he's got left, if he's lucky. The big lesson from 30 to 40: he had it backwards. He was making his life serve the business instead of the business serve his life. Build the habits of prayer, reading, and friendship young, because life only gets busier, and it's far easier to keep a habit than to add one.

Two prayer requests worth holding. Lady Pamela's due date is this week — baby Niles number seven, two middle names this time, names not yet shared. And baby Mary is still in the NICU. They're going to try again this week to take her off the breathing tube. She's weaning off sedation — which means withdrawals, which is hard — but she's gaining weight and getting stronger. Get past the tube and the next hill is open heart surgery. Adam's grateful for every prayer, and for the guys who sent DoorDash cards. Keep praying for Mary. And a shout-out to Dan O'Brien, David's father-in-law, walking the Camino as this drops — Dan, hope the feet are holding up.

This week's pour is a funny one: WhistlePig's 250th Anniversary of America 10-Year "Piggy Bank" Limited Edition Straight Rye, 55% ABV. The box is a literal piggy bank and the bottle is a chrome-plated ceramic pig. Spicier and more herbal than your Weller or Buffalo Trace — but smooth for the proof, with caramel and warm undertones. Picked up at Broken Arrow Wine and Spirits, owned by a good Catholic family from St. Benedict. Jim's yummy scale (bourbon scale): 5.87 out of 6.

Then the main course: the Finding of Jesus in the Temple. Luke 2, the last joyful mystery, the only Gospel that records it — and the very first time Jesus is recorded speaking. Adam walks through it with the Catena Aurea, Aquinas's compilation of the Church Fathers edited by St. John Henry Newman. The caravan to Jerusalem split women and children up front, men in the back, and a twelve-year-old could be in either — so Mary thought He was with Joseph, Joseph thought He was with Mary. Theophylact says it wasn't negligence. A logistical blind spot. Any father who's left a kid at church after coffee and donuts gets it.

The three days they searched? St. Ambrose says that's no accident — a rehearsal for the three days of the Passion, lost and then found again. The age of twelve is no accident either: right before the bar mitzvah, the Lord fulfilling the law perfectly, right on time, and twelve standing for the tribes and the apostles. Watch Mary, too. She brings her grief straight to her Son without accusation — "why have you done this to us?" — modeling how a soul carries pain to Christ: honestly, blaming no one, trusting before she fully understands. Watch Joseph, who says nothing, and pursues his mission relentlessly without drama. That's the masculine answer to adversity: very well, and you handle it. Protect, provide, establish.

Was Jesus being disobedient? The Fathers say no — His higher obedience to His Father's business ran underneath the surface, and verse 51 shows Him going home and being subject to them. God first, then family, and that order doesn't fracture the home. It grounds it. And where did they find Him? In the temple. His Father's house. Which is the whole point: you can find Jesus in nature, in the car, anywhere — but you are guaranteed to find Him in the church, body, blood, soul, and divinity, in the tabernacle of every Catholic church in the world. If you want to become holy, go be with Him. Get an adoration hour. Holiness doesn't happen the way Adam's buddy Juan figured he'd "just kind of one day have a six pack." You have to do something about it. Raise your glass.

Adam's youngest son, John, locked himself in the bathroom. No big deal — kid's fine, sang songs in there for forty-five minutes like a champ. The problem was the doorknob. Broken cam, broken spring, faceplate screws on the wrong side, and no way in. So Adam did what any father of six at the end of a long day does: he took an angle grinder to the thing and ground the entire doorknob into a pile of metal shards on the floor. Dave's suggestion — order the door open under holy obedience — came in a little too late.

Then Dave told on himself. Reseating a toilet, scraping the wax ring, already in a state of borderline rage. He bumped the tank against the tile and cracked it. In a fit of Herculean fury he hoisted the seat over his head, ready to Hulk-smash it into a million pieces — and heard, somewhere, his guardian angel. Jesus doesn't want you to do this. He set it down. Didn't destroy it. And got rewarded for it: American Standard honored a lifetime warranty he didn't know he had and shipped him a $1,600 toilet, free, to replace the $200 one he broke. Resisting the rage paid out at eight to one.

Then a quieter note. Baby Mary is still in the NICU. They got her off the breathing tube — she lasted about 24 hours before she had to be re-intubated. Good progress, long road still ahead. Oklahoma City's two hours off, the kids are out of school, and the Minihans are looking at hiring a nanny. But Adam wanted to brag on Lady Haylee. A stranger at the NICU left her a handwritten note and a crochet sweater with Mary's name on it — telling Haylee her faith had been an encouragement, that God is using her right there in that place. Haylee wasn't trying to be a witness. She was just being a mother in a hard place. That's exactly why it landed. Keep praying for Mary.

This week's pour: Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Straight Bourbon from Nevada H&C Distilling out of Las Vegas. 59.29% ABV — hand-written on the bottle, so every batch runs a little different. Hot, full-flavored, plenty of grit. Jim's yummy scale gave it a 6.0, which broke the scale, because the scale apparently only went to four until tonight.

Then the real work. The spiritual significance of manual labor. Summer's coming — the season of labor — and the guys make the case that work isn't a curse of the fall. Adam was tending the garden before sin entered the world. His very name comes from the dirt — adamah — made from it, named for it, made to work it. St. Augustine: what's more wonderful than to watch God's creation respond to human hands? Aquinas gives his four reasons for manual labor — obtain your livelihood, remove idleness, curb concupiscence ("I'm almost too tired to sin"), and give alms from the surplus. And the deeper distinction: servile work, done out of necessity, and liberal work, done for the sake of rest. We don't work to work. We work so we can look at what we've made, see that it is good, and rest. Same thing a man does in the soil, he does for his wife — order the environment so the thing entrusted to him can thrive. Protect, provide, establish.

It's hard. It's supposed to be. What did you think hard was going to be? The man who can fix things is a threat to the throwaway culture — and the same will that fixes a thing is the will that prays the rosary on the morning you'd rather not. Raise your glass.

Dave's been throwing parties. Three in four days. Confirmation sponsor for a friend's son, family and friends over the next night, and then — because the universe has a sense of humor — some local gentleman decided to remodel Dave's brick mailbox. With his truck. At speed. Bricks were found over a hundred feet away. The guy left his license plate behind, which Dave is now holding like a man who accidentally picked up evidence and doesn't know what to do with it. The driver's fine. Well — he's in jail. But he's alive. Dave wants him to know that God's mercy is always ready and present, even for the man who turned a brand-new brick mailbox into gravel.

Meanwhile, Adam got a new plum tree. Planted a maple. He's getting oaks for the pig pen so they'll drop acorns someday. One of his chickens died in a water barrel trap that nobody designed on purpose — the lid flipped, the chicken couldn't get out. Farm life. And then the real news: baby Mary is doing better. Haylee got to hold her. Adam held her for over three hours — only his second time since she was born in February. Three months of NICU, and the man finally got to just sit with his daughter. Praise God. Keep those prayers coming.

Also — Adam's turning 40 on June 2nd. And Lady Pamela is due with their next baby on June 4th. They floated the idea of recording an episode in the delivery room. Pamela has not been consulted.

This week we're sipping 13th Colony Distilleries Southern Rye Whiskey, French Oak Finish, Small Batch — 47.5% ABV. Platinum award-winning. Silky texture with hints of rye, apricot, and brown sugar. The rye's there but it doesn't overpower — still has a lot of bourbon elements to it. About forty bucks. That's a great buy.

Then the conversation turns to something Adam's son Jude sparked. Jude — Adam's second oldest — just finished reading the entire Bible, Genesis through Revelation, straight through. Now he's reading the Council of Trent Catechism. He's a kid. Nobody told him to do this. He just had good books lying around the house and picked them up. That's the whole point.

The virtue of study — studiositas — isn't what school taught us it was. It's not cramming. It's not memorizing facts to dump after the test. Aquinas calls it a habit of the mind ordered towards truth. Classical education at its best doesn't fill your head — it forms the way you think. The more you read rightly, the more you can arrive at correct conclusions through a sound process, not just recall. Study leads to contemplation. Contemplation is rest in truth. And it's not about finishing the book. If you're reading to check the box, you've already lost the plot. Sit with it. Let yourself be carried. The intellectual life doesn't compete with the family — it serves the family.

From there, Adam and Dave go back and forth on the books that actually formed them. Adam leads with Joseph Pieper's In Tune with the World — a short, devastating argument for why festivity dies when we strip the divine out of celebration. Dave counters with The Soul of the Apostolate — the book that reordered his understanding of what has to come first before any ministry means anything. Adam brings John Senior's The Restoration of Christian Culture — hard opinions, harder truths, and a quote worth sitting with: the virtue of study requires a canon, a body of great works proven across time. Without tradition to guide what's worth studying, you're just chasing novelty.

Dave goes deep on Fr. Timothy Gallagher's The Discernment of Spirits — a practical walkthrough of St. Ignatius's rules that shed light on the stages of the spiritual life and how the enemy shifts tactics as you grow. Adam responds with Raymond Arroyo's biography of Mother Angelica — a story of suffering, faithfulness, and a woman who said yes without knowing where it would lead. Dave makes a case for the Psalms — Psalm 51, the De Profundis in Latin, and the realization that there's a psalm for every moment of a man's life, and he'd been skimming past them for years.

Adam goes deep cut: Fr. Paul Murray's Aquinas at Prayer — a book that reoriented his understanding of St. Thomas from pure intellect to contemplative soul. Dave brings Divine Mercy in My Soul by St. Faustina — hundreds of pages of our Lord's words on mercy that are sometimes scandalously generous. Adam throws in Simon Sinek's Start with Why as the non-Catholic book that changed how he thought about business, marriage, and fatherhood. Both men land on fiction that haunts them — Adam with Sigrid Undset's Kristin Lavransdatter, Dave with Candice Millard's Hero of the Empire on young Churchill. They touch on Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Gone with the Wind, the bishop chapters of Les Misérables, Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death, and close with John Senior's Thousand Good Books — the canon itself, the list that connects it all.

They end where they always end: with Plato. They're halfway through the Republic in their great books group. David sits on the dumb couch. He knows he sits on the dumb couch. He's fine with it.

Raise your glass.

Indian paintbrush showed up at Porter Prairie Family Farm this week — native Oklahoma wildflower, first time Adam's seen it on his property. He didn't plant it. Nobody did. The seed bank was just dormant, waiting for the soil to be right. Two years of cattle grazing in the back pasture, no mowing, better land management — and something long dormant finally decided it was safe to bloom. Joel Salatin talks about this: when the practices change, when a property gets new stewardship, the land seems to know it. So does grace.

David's been busy in a different direction. He wired up an automatic door for the chicken coop — actuator, relay, battery, timer — a sliding gate that covers the nesting boxes so the younger chickens stop sleeping in them and fouling the eggs. Under $150 total, including an actuator that lifts 300 pounds for thirty bucks. When he asked Lady Pamela what she wanted it to look like, she said: prison bars coming down. "We'll call it the Henna Tincture." David said say no more. The Henna Tincture it is.

This week we're sipping Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond, Kentucky Straight Bourbon, 7 years — same distillery as Elijah Craig and Evan Williams. No gimmicks, under fifty bucks, smooth finish with a peanut butter quality that works. Bottled in bond since the Act of 1897. Very solid.

Quick update on baby Mary: she's still having good days. Praise God. Keep her and Lady Haylee in your prayers. Adam also headed out to Arkansas over Mother's Day weekend to be with his goddaughter JoJo Kleine for her First Holy Communion — and got to watch nephew Danny Kleine go two-for-two at the plate with at least one RBI. After months of watching a daughter fight for her life in a NICU, sometimes what a soul needs is family, a Mass, and a kid absolutely cranking baseballs.

Then we get into it: the papacy. A year in with Pope Leo XIV — the first American pope, the man who took the name knowing exactly whose shoes he was stepping into — and what does all of it mean? Where does that authority come from, and what's it actually for?

Dave traces it back to the Davidic kingdom. When the king left for war, he handed the keys to his steward, who operated with full royal authority until the king returned. Matthew 16 isn't symbolism. "What you bind on earth will be bound in heaven" — the Jews at the time knew exactly what that meant. That's why Peter is listed first among the apostles almost every time. He was their leader. He had the keys. Two thousand years of unbroken succession later, here we are.

But then the conversation goes somewhere unexpected. Authority is given to you so that you might serve those over whom you have authority. Not for your own glory. Not so people owe you. The pope is literally titled Servant of the Servants of God. The same authority Christ handed to Peter is the same authority He described in the upper room — the pagans lord it over their subjects, but not so among you. You will be the one who serves.

For fathers, that cuts. Pope John Paul II stood up against governments, even after taking a bullet. He kept going out. What does that courage look like in an ordinary household? Probably not a wound in the square. More likely a different kind of martyrdom — the kind where you make a decision for your family that nobody else understands, that your kids resent for a season, that costs you something in your social circle. You make it anyway. Because you've prayed about it, talked it through with your wife, and you know in your gut it's the right thing for your people. You stand on the island by yourself if you have to.

Dave closes with something worth trying: he prays specifically to the Holy Spirit to give Lady Pamela strong motherly intuition into the inner lives of their children. When she says something feels off, he pays close attention. That's him exercising his authority — his fatherly papacy — to draw more grace into his household. Not to control everything himself. To pray for the right graces for the right people.

The fatherly papacy, if you will.

We open the show on a wiffle ball game in the backyard. Adam's pitching. Jude's at the plate — right-handed, like always. Adam throws a sinker. Jude cranks it. Home run. On dad. In front of the whole family. Adam shakes it off, gets ready to deliver some justice on the next at-bat… and Jude steps over to the left side of the plate. "Jude, what are you doing?" "Dad. Just pitch the ball." Brushback pitch. Second swing — gone. Out of the park. Left-handed. Turns out Jude found out earlier that day he can bat from either side and forgot to mention it. Adam took it like a man — somewhere between humiliated and proud. Dave's response: this is why he still brushes his teeth left-handed. To stay coordinated. (Adam also has four cavities. Unrelated.)

This week we're sipping Laphroaig Càirdeas 2024 — Triple Wood & PX Casks. Aged ten years in ex-bourbon and quarter casks, finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. 52.4% ABV. Dark cherry-amber in the glass — uncharacteristic for an Islay. The classic peat smoke is there, then it opens into ginger, fruit, sherry sweetness. Càirdeas means friendship in Gaelic, which is exactly where the episode is headed. About $130-$140. Limited release, every year a little different.

Mary update: she's off the paralysis medicine. Still heavily sedated, but her eyes are open. She's looking around. Oxygen, blood pressure, heart rate — all trending in the right direction. More good days than bad right now. Adam and Lady Haylee are grateful. Keep them in your prayers.

Then we get into it: spiritual friendship, through St. Aelred of Rievaulx — the 12th-century Cistercian abbot whose book Spiritual Friendship is basically the Catholic doctrine on what a real friend is. He opens it with this line: "Here we are, you and I, and I hope that Christ makes a third with us." That's the whole thing.

Adam walks through the bell curve of zeal every man hits when he starts taking his faith seriously. Phase one: you read everything, you want to tell everybody, you should start a podcast. Phase two: you realize you know almost nothing and you go quiet. Phase three is where Aelred meets you — somewhere between "let me lecture you" and "I'm not qualified to say anything." The answer isn't to forfeit the zeal. It's to ground it in humility. You don't have the answers because you are not the answer. Christ is. But you do have your own experience, and what He's done in your life is yours to share.

Aelred's rules for friendship cut right through the noise. Spiritual friendship is not a teacher-student relationship — both men give, both men receive. Don't sacrifice your own vocation to be a "spiritual father" to someone else. When you meet, it's not the depth of the conversation that matters most, it's the consistency. And the cheat-code question for getting under the surface: how's your prayer life? Try that on a buddy this week and see what happens.

We close on Aristotle and the Eucharist. Nicomachean Ethics lays out hierarchies of friendship — friendship of utility, of pleasure, of virtue — but you can't be an authentic friend if you don't first know the good. And the good, ultimately, is Christ in the Eucharist. If the man you call your friend doesn't live a Eucharistic life, you may have a buddy. You don't yet have a spiritual friend. Make one. Be one. Bring him to Christ.

Raise your glass.

We open the show on Oz Pearlman — the mentalist who's been showing up on every podcast and somehow keeps reading minds for a living. Adam just caught him on Modern Wisdom, where Pearlman walked the host through his exact internal thought process — what he picked, what he second-guessed, what he settled on — like he had a pipeline straight into the man's head. Adam now rearranges his schedule whenever Oz pops up on a screen. So consider this a formal invitation: Oz, come drink whiskey with us. Tell us our favorite bourbon. We'll pour the Glencairns.

Speaking of — this week we're sipping High West Campfire. A blend of straight rye, straight bourbon, and blended malt scotch. Yes, scotch. Peat smoke gives way to orange zest, English toffee, toasted brioche, salted caramel, leather, dark chocolate. It works.

Then Adam gives an update on baby Mary. New listeners — Adam's daughter was born very early with a heart condition and a long list of complications. She's been in the NICU since birth. This past weekend was her actual due date, and after a long string of holding-the-line W's, she's turned a meaningful corner. Off the paralytic. Better oxygen, blood pressure, heart rate. Swelling coming down. Still a long road — likely nine to twelve more months in the NICU. Adam and Lady Haylee are deeply grateful. Keep them in your prayers. Both of them.

Quick note from Dave: Good Shepherd Sunday in Tulsa. The pastor handed out cards and asked every man in the pews to write down the name of a young man who'd make a good priest. A thousand men doing that work together. Tulsa's per-capita priest count is already top five in the country — and we still need more.

Then we get into it. The King in the Tabernacle.

If the Eucharist is just a symbol, the Catholic Church is a 2,000-year deception. Flannery O'Connor's line — to hell with it — is the right one. But we don't believe it's a symbol. We believe what Christ said. Body, blood, soul, and divinity. The continuation of the Incarnation, until the end of the age.

David's been reading The Real Presence by St. Peter Julian Eymard (Cor Jesu Press). Eymard is the patron of Eucharistic adoration — one homily in him, gave it for a lifetime. And one chapter lays out a battle plan for how to actually spend a holy hour. Not just sit there. Spend it.

The four ends of worship — ACTS: Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving, Supplication. Eymard breaks the hour into four fifteen-minute sections. First fifteen: adoration. You don't walk into the royal court making demands. You fall on your knees and salute the King. Second fifteen: thanksgiving — for yourself, your family, the world. Thank Him for instituting the Eucharist at all. (Most of us forget that one.) Third fifteen: reparation. Stand in the gap. For your sins, for the world's, especially for the sacrileges against the Eucharist itself. Fourth fifteen: petition. Now you can ask. Ask large graces. Ask for the triumph of His Church. By the time you get there, you're asking for the right things.

We talk about the difference between knowing the Eucharist is Christ and acting like it. You don't accidentally get a six-pack at 40. You don't accidentally get holy, either. We're body-soul composites — what we do with our bodies forms our souls. That's why we genuflect. Dress for Mass. Kneel after Communion. St. Charbel had two modes: preparing to receive, or thanking God for having received. The bar he set is the right one.

We close with Eymard's image of the guard of honor. Jesus has made Himself vulnerable in the host. Heart pierced. Defenseless. Waiting on His men to show up and adore Him. That's the work. Guard duty. Get to adoration. Change your life.

Raise your glass.

Adam went out to the shop and heard birds. Which would be fine — except the shop has closed-cell spray foam insulation. Thick stuff. Solid. Apparently it doesn't matter, because the birds had been pecking through it anyway, six spots deep, living inside the walls like they owned the place. He grabbed a can of expanding foam, took his six-year-old Leo out to help seal the gaps, and watched Leo immediately stick his hand in the wet foam. It went everywhere. On Leo. On the shop doors. On a previous car that is now long gone. If you've ever tried to wipe expanding foam off anything, you know how the rest of that goes.

He opened the show with that story. Then Jim Spencer showed up — back after a long hiatus, cowboy hat on, ready to weigh in — and they cracked a bottle of Kilchoman's 14th Edition, an Islay scotch that doesn't get the attention of a Laphroaig or Ardbeg but probably deserves it. A $110 bottle. Jim put it at a 3.91 on the yummy scale (it was a prime number recording day, so that's out of 7 — work it out yourself). They all agreed it was legitimately good.

Before getting into the main topic, Dave gave an update on Baby Mary. She's been on a paralytic to help her grow, and they're trying to wean her off it. She tolerated the second attempt better than the first, but not well enough. They'll try again Monday or Tuesday. Pray for her blood pressure to stay stable when she comes off, and for her heart and lungs to stop fighting the ventilator. Dave said it directly and without dramatics, and that's the right way to hear it.

The episode is about the dinner table. Not as a feel-good idea — as a liturgy.

Adam had done a piece on this for his Substack: what makes a good day? Not an emotional high. A good day. He landed on three things: early morning prayer and reading, honing his craft in some way, and making it to the dinner table. They spent the hour unpacking why that third one carries so much weight.

Dave brought in the biblical thread — Abraham hosting God and the angels, Moses eating with the elders on the mountain, the Passover meal, the Last Supper, Christ asking for fish in his glorified body just to show the disciples he wasn't a ghost, the Road to Emmaus where he revealed himself in the breaking of bread. The pattern is not subtle. God keeps showing up at tables. There might be something to that.

Adam made the distinction between communication and communion. A lecture is communicative. The dinner table — done right — is a place of communion. The giving and the receiving. The statement and the response. That's not an accident. It's what the table is for.

They got into the practical mechanics: one conversation at a time, husband and wife starting the conversation before the kids are brought in, ending dinner with prayer for the souls in purgatory, the escalating formality through the day (breakfast is just survival, lunch gets the flowers on the table, dinner gets the candles). Dave's daughters were wearing hoop skirts on the grass at the contra dance they hosted the night before. He mentioned a Clear Creek inspiration — the monks don't even sit at breakfast. He's pondering it. Adam is not.

The story that landed hardest was from Alabama. He and Dave were on their way to EWTN — they recorded an episode in Mother Angelica's office, and Adam has video of Dave in makeup, which is apparently a treasure. They had dinner at the home of a man named Charlie Remore, a friend of a friend they'd never met. Large family. Long dinner table. Every child had a job, and they knew it cold. One managed silverware, one managed plates. When dinner ended, one stood up and cleared. Adam tried to stack the plates to help, and Charlie's kid corrected him — politely, but clearly. Don't stack the plates. We have to wash both sides. That's my job.

That's disinterested service. The Catechism (CCC 2223) actually names it. Charlie's household had made it habitual. No one was waiting for a thank-you. The family is the mission.

The picky eater section was, as promised, a hot take. Adam doesn't tolerate it. Eat what's served or it goes in the fridge and that's what you're eating next time. He said it, Dave agreed, and they both acknowledged it's hard — the chicken nuggets are right there, it's easier, you're tired — but the long-term cost of caving is worse than the short-term cost of holding the line. Your kid spreading butter with their fingers in your presence, knowing the rule, is an event that requires a response. Even when it happens to be this morning.

After dinner prayer. Pray it. For the faithful departed. It's been jettisoned by most Catholic families, including strong ones, and it shouldn't be. You're feeding those who can no longer feed themselves. That's what it is.

Dave's cows got out again.

The gate was shut. Just not latched. There's a difference — a difference Dave now knows in vivid detail, courtesy of the Broken Arrow Police Department and at least one very stressed heifer on the turnpike. Nobody died. The cows are back. The neighborhood is bonded. And apparently this is just a tradition they keep at Niles Ranch and Fecundity Farm.

This week Adam and Dave sat down with a glass of Dancing Panda — a straight Kentucky bourbon, eight years, 100 proof, with an unexpected apple-cinnamon finish — and got into someone most Catholics have heard of but few have actually read: St. Bonaventure.

Before you dive in: Adam's daughter Mary is in the hospital. Her lungs keep deflating. The situation is hour by hour. Please pray for her.

St. Bonaventure is, in a word, underrated. He was the Franciscan answer to Aquinas — less systematic, more contemplative, every bit as deep. Best friends with Thomas Aquinas. Minister General of the Franciscan Order. Seraphic Doctor. Second founder of the Franciscans. The man who, when Aquinas read his contribution to the Mass reform aloud, said "That's perfect. There's no need for mine" — and meant it.

The book on the table is Holiness of Life, published by Coriaceous Press. Written to a Poor Clare nun. Short — you can finish it in an afternoon. Dense — you'll carry it for a long time after.

Bonaventure lays out a ladder. Self-knowledge first. Then humility. Then poverty. Then silence. Then prayer, the remembrance of Christ's passion, perfect love of God, and final perseverance. Adam and Dave cover the first four.

Self-knowledge is not a journaling exercise. It's a brutal, honest accounting of where you actually are — seeing your dignity as an image of God and your misery as a sinner, both at the same time, clearly. Bonaventure names three root causes of sin: negligence, passion, and malice. He also gives you a mirror: are your interior promptings pulling toward pleasure, curiosity, or vanity? Most of us don't have to think long.

Humility follows — because you can't see yourself honestly and still puff up. Bonaventure says humility is the guardian and foundation of all virtues. To excel in virtue without humility is to carry dust before the wind. If pride is the root of every sin, humility is the root of every virtue. And Adam drops the Aquinas line that's worth writing on a wall: A man is truly wealthy when he lacks nothing that he truly needs for salvation.

Poverty, in Bonaventure's framing, isn't about being broke. It's about holy detachment. The unburdening of the soul so you can actually run toward Christ. We're not trying to anchor ourselves in this world. The more you sink your teeth into worldly things, the less you can sink your soul into heavenly ones.

And then silence. Not just quiet in the house — interior silence. Bonaventure says poverty and silence are twins. Those appetites you feed don't just cost you. They're loud. They lie. They drown out everything you need to hear about who you actually are.

Bonaventure wrote: "Silence has another advantage. It shows that man belongs to a better world. If a man lives in Germany and yet does not speak German, we naturally conclude that he is not German. So too, we rightly conclude that a man who does not give himself up to worldly conversation is not of the world, although he lives therein."

That'll stay with you.

Most Catholic dads are working hard in their home. The problem? They’re not working on it. There’s a difference between a household that runs because you’re there holding it together — and one that’s been designed to form your wife and children for heaven even when you’re not in the room.

In this episode, Dave and Adam get into John Cuddeback’s framework for the domestic church, pull from their book Living Beyond Sunday, and share the 3 telltale signs your home is running on willpower instead of design. Plus: what to do about it, how morning chaos is actually a design problem, and why the living room might be the most important room in your house.

In This Episode* Why Holy Week is the lens through which this entire conversation happens * The Deacon’s homily: “You are a thought of God made flesh” — and what that means at your most broken moments * Adam’s son Luke wins concert tickets — then realizes it’s Good Friday. What happened next. * Adam announces M6 Marketing and The Grounded Builder Substack * The body-soul composite of the home: daily life vs. moral and spiritual formation * Working IN your family vs. working ON your family (the entrepreneur analogy every dad needs) * 3 signs your home runs on willpower, not design: * The same corrections keep happening to the same kids — it’s not a motivation problem, it’s a design problem * Morning chaos — nothing was built right the night before to make it smooth * Your presence is the only thing holding it together — when you’re gone, the wheels fall off * 3 diagnostic questions to ask when something keeps breaking in your home * The Great Silence: Dave’s family morning prayer rule (and why it’s formed him more than his kids) * Why bells beat yelling — and the sacramental case for ringing a blessed bell in your home * Giving kids real work with real consequences: why sweeping the floor doesn’t cut it * The dinner table as non-negotiable — and why screens are the enemy of family formation * The one room in your house not ordered toward a biological need — and why it matters most * Why designing the household is a man’s domain and responsibility — ordered entirely in love

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, Adam and David crack open a rare Teeling whiskey from Ireland and dive into a topic most men never examine: avarice.

Often reduced to “greed,” avarice is far more subtle—and far more dangerous. Drawing from St. John Cassian, St. Thomas Aquinas, and the spiritual tradition of the Church, the guys explore how a disordered attachment to material things can quietly shape our lives, distort our priorities, and even blind us spiritually.

They discuss how modern “grind culture” can normalize avarice, why money itself is uniquely deceptive among the vices, and how this sin can creep in unnoticed—even among faithful men striving for holiness.

The conversation also tackles:

1. Why avarice is different from other sins
2. The “seven daughters” of greed according to Aquinas
3. How avarice leads to restlessness, anxiety, and spiritual blindness
4. The connection between avarice and a lack of trust in God
5. The surprising concept of spiritual avarice
6. Practical strategies to root it out, including manual labor, generosity, and community

If you’ve never considered avarice in your examination of conscience, this episode will challenge you to take a deeper look—and give you a path forward.

What is time for?

In this episode, Adam and David reflect on the gift of time through the lens of Catholic theology, fatherhood, prayer, suffering, work, and even Nick Saban’s famous process-driven mindset.

The conversation begins with updates on baby Mary and a moving reflection on the fragile beauty of life, suffering, healing, and hope. From there, the discussion turns toward a deeper meditation on time itself: how easily we waste it, how often we rush through it, and how every moment is a gift given by God.

Drawing from St. Augustine, St. Teresa of Avila, the Psalms, leisure, memory, mortality, and the demands of vocation, Adam and David explore what it means to live well in the present moment. They also connect this to Nick Saban’s practical framework of focusing on the now, controlling the controllables, and trusting the process over the outcome.

This episode is a call for Catholic men to stop drifting through life, stop living in regret or anxiety, and start receiving time as the arena in which God prepares us for eternity.

In this episode:1. An update on baby Mary and the power of prayer 2. Why suffering, life, and death sharpen our awareness of time 3. St. Augustine on the mystery of past, present, and future 4. Why Catholic men must stop wasting the present moment 5. Fatherhood, busyness, and the fear of missing what matters most 6. Leisure as the wise use of time 7. St. Teresa of Avila on growth in prayer 8. How to stop rushing through life 9. Nick Saban’s “focus on the now” mindset through a Catholic lens 10. Control the controllables and trust the process 11. Time, judgment, memory, and eternity

Key takeaway:You cannot control the future. You cannot relive the past. But you can receive the present moment as a gift from God and use it for holiness.

David and Adam are back in the groove for Lent. They open with a timely conversation about Pope Leo's call for priests to stop using AI to write homilies, and why that warning matters far beyond the pulpit. The guys explore how AI threatens the muscles of human creativity, the irreplaceable nature of human-to-human proclamation of the Gospel, and where men should draw their own lines before the technology draws them for you.

Then it's deep dive time into Dante's Divine Comedy — specifically the Dantinian ordering of sin, love, and the moral life across the Inferno and Purgatorio. David and Adam unpack:

1. Why lust is the first (mildest) circle of Hell — and why that's actually a message of hope, not a free pass
2. Why fraud and treason sit at the bottom — and what it means to so disfigure your soul that evil looks like good
3. The mirror structure of Purgatory — pride at the base, lust at the summit, and why the climb starts now
4. Misdirected love, deficient love, and excessive love — how Dante's ladder maps directly onto your daily examination of conscience
5. Why Hell is isolation and Purgatory is communion — and what that says about Christian hope
6. Acedia (sloth) redefined — it's not laziness, it's spiritual sluggishness, and it may be the most dangerous sin of the comfortable
7. Cato's charge at the gate of Purgatory: Run. Don't wait a second.

The guys also taste a rare bottle of Angel's Envy Rye finished in Anejo Tequila barrels (104 proof, surprisingly mellow), give a shout-out to their upcoming 10-year anniversary, and share a sneak peek at the Catholic Man Show Campout short film dropping soon on Patreon.

Adam Minihan and Dave Niles open this episode with a story about two broken-down vehicles, a newborn daughter named Mary, and a prayer over a dying engine that — Amen — actually worked. From there they settle in with some Basil Hayden bourbon and turn to a piece of Dante most people have never read: the Convivio, his unfinished philosophical treatise written during his exile from Florence.

The main topic: wonder. What it is, why Dante considered it the most critical virtue to cultivate in adolescence, and what we lose when we crush it in our kids... often without realizing it.

Dante divides life into four stages: adolescence (birth to 25), youth (25 to 45), old age (45 to 70), and extreme old age (70 and beyond). Each stage has its own virtues and tasks. But it's adolescence — the age of obedience, wonder, and ordering loves — that Dante treats with the most urgency. Because wonder, once crushed, is very hard to resurrect.

Adam and Dave unpack why screens flatten the imagination, why GK Chesterton's wonder at green grass wasn't eccentricity but sanity, and why Dante's most devastating line about education still applies today: if you raise kids without wonder, you may make them competent... but not wise.

Also in this episode: the connection between Dante and Aquinas, the KU Integrated Humanities Program and David Dean, a monk at Clear Creek who hadn't read his prior's book and why that was one of the wisest things Dave has ever seen, and the difference between knowledge and wisdom in the age of AI.

Deacon Harrison Garlick's Ascend the Great Books podcast is working through the Purgatorio right now. If you're not following along, this episode is a good reason to start.

Topics covered in this episode:

1. Adam's van saga, a dying alternator, and what happens when you pray like Jeff Cavins
2. Dante's exile from Florence and why Pope Boniface VIII ended up in the eighth circle of hell
3. The four stages of life from the Convivio — adolescence, youth, old age, and extreme old age — and the virtues and tasks for each
4. Why Dante places the pinnacle of life at age 33 (and why that's not a coincidence)
5. Wonder vs. ignorance — Dante's distinction and why it matters for how we raise kids
6. Screens and the flattening of wonder — Dave's strong opinion, delivered with characteristic conviction
7. GK Chesterton and the green grass
8. "You cannot love that which you have never wondered at" — Dante's most profound parenting insight
9. The connection between leisure and wonder — why you can't have one without the other
10. Why the goal is heaven, not Harvard

We’re back, and life got realIt has been the lightest recording stretch the show has had in almost ten years. Adam owns the delay and explains why. Since the last episode, baby Mary arrived very early at around 27 weeks and about two pounds. She was baptized immediately, and there is a question about whether she was also confirmed due to the use of holy oils and the circumstances.

A few days after birth, Mary underwent an intense and invasive surgery that lasted more than six hours. The surgeon later said it was the hardest operation he had ever performed. The procedure connected her esophagus to her stomach, and the family is now living the day to day reality of the NICU: small adjustments, constant monitoring, and a careful balance with oxygen, blood pressure, heart rate, and long term risks.

The charity that is hard to receiveA theme that keeps surfacing is gratitude, and how hard it can be to receive help when you want to be in control. Adam and David thank listeners for prayers, meals, transportation help, and the quiet generosity that shows up when you least expect it.

They give a major shoutout to the Ronald McDonald House, which provided a place for the family to stay near the hospital, along with meals and support that would have been financially impossible otherwise. Adam also mentions friends and patrons who opened their homes and brought food. It is a reminder that “village” is not a cliché when your world turns upside down.

Also, in the middle of all this, Adam’s son Leo drops a classic kid moment at Mass: during a serious homily he leans over and asks when he will get to meet J.B. Mooney, the professional bull rider. Fatherhood keeps you humble.

What they’re drinkingDavid brings a bottle from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society featuring Royal Brackla. The tasting notes are ridiculous in the best way, described like “dessert in the workshop,” with custard, toffee chunks, marshmallow, and an unexpected “carpenter’s shop” vibe. It even has a hint of iodine that makes David think of Islay, without the heavy peat and smoke.

A relic in the hotel roomA priest from the diocese drops off a first class relic of St. Gemma, telling Adam to keep it while the family walks through this trial. Adam and David talk about the reality of having the body of a saint in the room with you, and the comfort that brings, especially when the road ahead is long.

Lent and temperance: not a “no,” but a “yes”The episode’s main topic is temperance, framed as the Lenten virtue that touches everything. The simple kid definition they love is: temperance is having a healthy amount of everything. Not perfect, but memorable.

They push back against the idea that temperance is just restriction. Temperance is not merely refusing the extra piece of cake. It is also the positive ordering of your life so you can say yes to the right things at the right time in the right way: exercise, prayer, rest, work, family presence, joy, celebration.

The key theme: virtue is always a yes. The “no” exists to protect the “yes.”

St. John Cassian and the “bread” of SodomOne of the most interesting turns comes from St. John Cassian’s Institutes. Cassian argues that Sodom’s first sin was not the obvious sin people associate with Sodom and Gomorrah. He points to Ezekiel and emphasizes surplus, abundance, and gluttony. Cassian’s logic is that the disorder starts low and spreads upward: feed the appetite, then the passions grow louder, the will weakens, and eventually the mind rationalizes what it should never have chosen.

They connect this to the common sense link between food appetites and sexual appetites. If you cannot curb the basic, you will struggle to curb the higher.

A line that lands: If you can’t say no, your yes means nothing.

Pleasure, pain, and spiritual clarityAdam shares a sharp thought: pleasure clouds judgment faster than pain. Suffering, especially voluntary suffering, tends to focus the mind. It wakes you up and forces clarity. That is why fasting can sharpen spiritual vision. It reveals attachments you thought you did not have.

They bring in Father Anselm Stolz’s point: ascetic practices are not the end. The end is contemplation, union with God, and becoming more like Christ. The danger for men is turning Lent into an achievement badge, turning penance into pride, and making the self the center.

Temperance orders the whole manThey outline a hierarchy: God, reason, will, passions, body. Temperance helps keep the order intact, so the higher rules the lower and the lower serves the higher. When the passions take the driver’s seat, the will becomes a servant, reason gets distorted, and you can rationalize sin quickly or slowly over years.

They also emphasize something many men miss: the temperate man feasts. Feasting well matters. If you do not fast, you will not feast well. If you cannot feast temperately, your fasting might be more about control than freedom.

Practical takeaways for dadsOne of the best “take this home” moments is teaching kids delayed gratification. The classic M&M test becomes a simple, memorable way to form a child in temperance. Kids have wildly different reactions, and that is the point. You are building the muscle of waiting for the greater good.

They also offer a gut check for adults: a good test of temperance is how you feast, not only how you fast. If Sundays turn into chaos, bingeing, and excuses, something is off. The goal is freedom.

Closing thoughtLent is a season of no so you can say yes. Mastery before glory. The Christian life is not an empty handed life. It is abundance in the right order.

What does it actually mean to persevere?

In this episode, Adam and David unpack the Catholic understanding of perseverance—not as white-knuckled suffering, but as faithfully enduring in the pursuit of the good over time.

Using insights from St. Thomas Aquinas, they explain why perseverance is less about dramatic hardship and more about showing up day after day in prayer, marriage, fatherhood, and work—even when there is no immediate payoff.

From the slow labor of a sow giving birth, to the monotony of daily prayer, to the demands of being present as a father, this episode reframes perseverance as one of the most essential virtues for the modern man.

Topics include:

1. St. Thomas Aquinas’ definition of perseverance
2. The difference between perseverance and constancy
3. Why perseverance is about duration, not difficulty
4. Why there is no “excess” of perseverance
5. Final perseverance as a gift from God
6. Why motivation fades but discipline remains
7. Practical ways to grow in perseverance as a man

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, Adam and David discuss the essential role of fathers in catechizing their children... not just by teaching information, but by forming habits, traditions, and a lived love for the Catholic faith.

Adam shares a personal update about his family and the power of prayer and community during a time of serious medical uncertainty. From there, the conversation turns to what real catechesis looks like in the home: modeling prayer, creating a culture of beauty, building liturgical traditions, and making the Eucharist the center of family life.

The guys explore why passing on the faith is less about producing kids who can pass a religion test, and more about raising children who know God is real and worth ordering their entire life around.

Topics include:

1. Why fathers are primarily responsible for catechesis
2. The difference between knowing the faith and loving the faith
3. Teaching children how to pray by example
4. Using beauty, art, and the home to form souls
5. Why habits and traditions matter more than programs
6. Making the Eucharist the source and summit of family life

This episode moves from a lighthearted family practice of setting “New Year’s disciplines” into a serious, practical conversation on Josef Pieper’s The Concept of Sin. Adam and David argue that modern culture often avoids the word “sin” not because sin disappeared, but because the concept of sin has been replaced with softer language: mistakes, weakness, psychological explanations, or vague “bad choices.” Pieper’s central claim, they explain, is that sin is not merely a moral misstep but a rejection of reality itself.

The conversation ties sin directly to freedom. Only a truly free person can sin, because sin requires knowledge, responsibility, and the willful refusal of the good. Drawing on the Catechism, they frame sin as an offense against reason, truth, and right conscience, as well as a failure in love caused by disordered attachment to lesser goods. Sin is not “missing the mark” in the sense of trying hard and falling short; it is a refusal, a “no” to what is.

They also explore how every sin involves untruthfulness and self-deception. To commit sin, a person constructs a false account of reality that makes the act seem reasonable. This helps explain why rationalization demands constant outside validation and why modern life often tries to remove guilt without removing sin. Against that, the hosts emphasize that forgiveness presupposes guilt, and sin can only be understood alongside grace.

Practical takeaways include building a daily examination of conscience, paying attention to patterns and triggers, naming both sins of commission and omission, and running to confession with regularity. The episode closes with a fatherly focus: how to speak about sin with children truthfully without crushing them, holding together mercy and clarity so that kids learn both the seriousness of sin and the permanence of love.

Key topics covered

1. A family approach to New Year’s disciplines: spiritual, virtue-driven, and “free choice” goals
2. Why “the concept of sin” has faded while sin itself has not
3. Pieper’s claim: before sin is a moral issue, it is a metaphysical issue
4. Sin, freedom, and responsibility: why only the free can sin
5. Why sin is more than “missing the mark”: refusal vs. mistake
6. Sin as rejection of reality and the link to truth and the transcendentals
7. The role of self-deception and rationalization in every sinful act
8. Grace and forgiveness: why forgiveness presupposes guilt
9. Vice vs. sin and how habitual patterns can erode clarity and hope
10. Examination of conscience, confession, and spiritual “trench warfare”
11. Parenting: naming sin without demoralizing children, holding truth with mercy

Notable references mentioned

1. Josef Pieper, The Concept of Sin
2. Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 1849 (definition of sin)
3. St. Paul on grace abounding where sin increases
4. Discussion invitation: patrons reading Romano Guardini, Letters from Lake Como (relationship to technology)
5. A practical tip for readers: keeping quotes and notes in a phone note app

Practical takeaways

1. Do a daily examination of conscience: where you fell, where grace was present, and what you failed to do.
2. Identify the “script” behind recurring sins: time of day, moods, environments, triggers, and predictable pathways.
3. Treat confession as a regular cadence, not only an emergency response.
4. Pay attention to sins of omission: failure to act, speak, defend, or choose the harder good.
5. When talking with children: name sin clearly, offer mercy quickly, and keep the relationship intact.

Opening: Joy evangelizes (and kids teach us)1. The “joyful demeanor” that opens doors to talking about Jesus (without getting weird). 2. A godfather breakfast on a baptism anniversary becomes a living lesson in evangelization. 3. “Five seconds” theology: most of our daily encounters are brief—so what do we do with them?

The Thomistic pivot: Why life feels like a blur1. Time accelerates as you age; “someday” becomes a trap. 2. Many men feel stuck for 10–15 years—spiritually, vocationally, relationally, and in work. 3. The antidote isn’t bigger ambition—it’s better order.

Aquinas on happiness: What won’t satisfyAquinas method: name the end (happiness), then rule out false ends.

1. Wealth: money is a means, not a final end.
2. Honor / reputation: depends on others; happiness must be stable and interior.
3. Power: instrumental, addictive, and easily disguised as “leadership.”
4. Pleasure: real and good, but cannot be the end—pleasure perfects an act, it doesn’t define the goal.

The positive claim: What happiness actually is1. Perfect happiness is the vision of God (beatific vision). 2. We can’t fully attain it in this life, but we can live an imperfect happiness by ordering our lives toward it. 3. Key shift: beatitude, not optimization.

Hierarchy of goods (practical framework for 2026)Three filters for any resolution:

1. Is it ordered toward the highest good? (God, truth, contemplation)
2. Does it support your vocation? (husband/father, priest, etc.)
3. Does it treat lesser goods as means? (money, status, comfort serve the mission)

Concrete resolutions (small, durable, lifelong)1. “Not huge shifts—small profitable habits that stick.” 2. Guarding silence and adding a few more minutes of contemplative prayer. 3. A reminder: you can “succeed” without prayer, but not in the way a Christian wants to succeed.

The closing medicine: Gratitude slows time1. Gratitude grounds you in the present and breaks the “always next” mindset. 2. Hard to stay bitter when you’re truly thankful. 3. Cheers to Jesus—and to living the winning side like you mean it.

Cy Kellett, host of Catholic Answers Live, joins the Catholic Man Show for a wide-ranging and surprisingly practical conversation on evangelization. If the idea of “sharing your faith” makes you uncomfortable, intimidated, or quietly guilty, this episode is for you.

The guys talk about why evangelization feels scary for normal Catholics in the pews, why it is not optional, and why God never asked you to be effective. He only asked you to be faithful. Cy explains why pressure to “get results” is misplaced, how discouragement is the devil’s favorite weapon against evangelists, and why introverts might actually be better at sharing the Gospel than extroverts.

They also dig into what the Gospel actually is, why “God loves you” is true but incomplete, and how the full Christian story speaks directly to the modern world’s confusion about meaning, identity, and purpose. From street evangelization to talking with adult children who have drifted from the faith, Cy offers clarity, encouragement, and concrete advice rooted in real experience.

This is an episode about integrity, prayer, the sacraments, and learning how to talk about Jesus in a way that is honest, human, and real.

In this episode:

1. Why evangelization feels intimidating for ordinary Catholics
2. Why you are not called to be effective, only faithful
3. How discouragement shuts down evangelization
4. The difference between proclamation and debate
5. Why introverts can be excellent evangelists
6. What the Gospel actually is, beyond “God loves you”
7. How modern culture misunderstands science and human dignity
8. Why evangelization always includes words, not just example
9. The role of prayer and the Eucharist in sustaining evangelists
10. Why the goal is winning souls, not arguments
11. Cy’s new book, How to Talk About Jesus with Anybody

Ever wake up with that “today is the day” feeling, like you are ready to conquer the world? The guys start there, take a hard left into Pinky and the Brain, and somehow end up pondering what it was like when Christ rose from the dead.

From there, it turns into a practical, tradition-packed episode on celebrating Christmas well. Not the Hallmark version, and not the American “Christmas ends on December 26” version either. The kind that actually follows the liturgical calendar, keeps Advent as Advent, and treats Christmas as a season, not a day.

Along the way, they review a Taiwanese whiskey from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, talk family customs that make the day feel grounded, and make a strong case for grandfathers and fathers to be the custodians of tradition. One of the best parts is a simple, doable challenge: take the 12 Days of Christmas seriously and mark the feast days with small, intentional practices your family will actually remember.

In this episode:

1. The “wake up and conquer the world” mood vs the day Christ resurrected
2. Advent vs Christmas, and why our culture gets it backwards
3. Why “Merry” used to mean more like blessed than happy
4. Midnight Mass, caroling, real Christmas trees, and reading Luke before presents
5. A great grandfather tradition: gather the family and speak from the heart
6. Gifts for kids: fewer and meaningful vs abundance as a sign of the Father’s generosity
7. The 12 Days of Christmas, and the feast days that stack up fast
8. St. John’s Blessing of Wine and why you should do it
9. A practical idea for the Holy Innocents: dads blessing their children out loud
10. Epiphany water and why you should plan ahead to get it blessed

Whiskey for the episode: Taiwanese whiskey (Scotch Malt Whisky Society pick), “Dunker’s Delight” style notes, 107 proof, with flavors like caramel and apple pie crust.

Challenge for the week: Pick two feast days during the 12 Days of Christmas and do something small but real. Bless your kids, bless wine, invite someone over, go to Mass, or start a tradition worth keeping.

In this episode, Adam and David welcome back longtime friend and mentor Matthew Christoff of EveryCatholicMan.com to talk about what it really means to become a happier Catholic man.

Matthew shares the story behind his new devotional, “Becoming a Happier Catholic Man 2026,” and why he believes every man can be happier by drawing closer to Jesus, embracing suffering, and living a zealous Catholic life.

Topics discussed:

This episode is packed — saints, miracles, Marian devotion, vocations, fatherhood, fasting, silence, and the rise of a new generation of men hungry for God.

Fr. Charbel, a Franciscan Friar of the Immaculate, joins Adam and David in Tulsa along with first-class relics of St. Maximilian Kolbe and St. Charbel, sharing powerful stories of faith, mission, intercession, and what young Catholic men are longing for today.

IN THIS EPISODE1. Meet Fr. Charbel — his order, his mission, and why Marian consecration is centralFr. Charbel introduces the Franciscans of the Immaculate, an order founded to continue the Marian mission of St. Maximilian Kolbe:

• Total consecration to Mary as a fourth vow
• A spirituality built on St. Francis + St. Maximilian
• Missionary availability (“Send me anywhere in the world”)
• Heavy emphasis on prayer, poverty, obedience, and Marian devotion

He explains how Our Lady’s presence has shaped every major moment in salvation history — from Nazareth to the Cross — and why consecration gives Mary “permission” to form us the way she formed Christ.

2. A surge of young men seeking GodAs the newly appointed vocations director, Fr. Charbel reveals something astonishing:

40+ serious vocation inquiries in just two months.

Why the sudden surge?

• Men want something real
• They crave mission and purpose
• They want orthodoxy and reverence
• They want a spirituality that demands something of them
• Marian devotion draws them in a unique way

“It’s inspiring,” he says. “Young men want authenticity.”

3. Stories of Divine Providence and the adventure of religious lifeThe guys talk about:

• The Franciscan blend of active + contemplative
• The thrill of trusting God with everything
• Poverty that becomes a doorway to providence
• Why Franciscans never seem to fundraise (“God just provides”)

Religious life, he says, is more adventurous than most men realize.

4. Deep dive: Who is St. Charbel? Why is he exploding in popularity?St. Charbel Makhlouf, a Lebanese hermit, is becoming one of the most beloved saints of the century.

Father explains why:

• Lived a hidden, humble, ascetic life
• 23 years in community + 23 years as a hermit
• Entire life centered on the Holy Eucharist
• Body discovered incorrupt with supernatural light rising from his tomb
• Over 29,000 documented miracles since 1950
• Miracles among Muslims, Druze, Orthodox, and nonbelievers
• Global pilgrims: 2 million+ per year

One stunning story:

A Muslim sheikh publicly visited St. Charbel’s shrine to thank him for healing his mother of cancer.

“Why would God confirm the life of a hermit who spent his life before the Eucharist,” Father asks, “unless the Eucharist is truly what the Church says it is?”

5. Lessons from St. Charbel for modern men + fathersWhat does a hermit from Lebanon have to teach us? A lot.

Fr. Charbel lays out practical takeaways:

• Faithfulness in the small things
• Silence — making space for God’s voice
• Daily prayer even without consolations
• Obedience and humility
• Eucharistic devotion
• Marian devotion as a way of being formed
• Asceticism and fasting: dying to self in small ways
• Doing your duty with love

As he says: “God doesn’t call you to be successful. He calls you to be faithful.”

6. Mary, her titles, and how she draws men to ChristThe guys discuss:

• Why we must be unashamed of Marian devotion
• The richness of her many titles:
• Mother of God
• Cause of Our Joy
• Mother of Good Counsel
• Undoer of Knots
• Seat of Wisdom
• Why Marian consecration doesn’t distract from Jesus — it leads to Him
• Why she is the “surest and quickest way” to holiness

Fr. Charbel emphasizes “You can never love her as much as Jesus already does.”

7. Books, Resources, and Where to Find MoreFr. Charbel’s order publishes incredibly practical Marian books:

• “Preparation for Total Consecration” (33 days in the spirit of Maximilian Kolbe)
• “Beloved Disciple” — how to live your consecration daily
• “Rule of Life: St. Maximilian Kolbe’s personal spiritual notes” (brand new)

This episode starts with an apology and an update. It’s been a wild stretch—hospital visits, birthday mishaps, broken teeth, truck trouble, cows and pigs headed to the processor—but also a lot of grace and gratitude.

Adam shares about Lady Haylee's recent medical scare during pregnancy, the prayers from patrons, and what it’s like to walk through real uncertainty as a husband and father. The guys reflect on how quickly life can tilt from “normal” to “barely holding it together,” and yet how God can still anchor everything in hope and gratitude.

Over whiskey (a Pseudo Sue malt from Iowa), Adam and David shift into the main topic: spiritual blindness—how easy it is for men to be convinced we’re right, standing for the truth, and yet be totally off the mark.

Drawing from Scripture, the lives of the apostles, St. John of the Cross, Aquinas, and even Dante, they explore:

In This Episode: Real-life trials and gratitude * Haley’s hospitalization and recovery * Kids’ birthdays, chipped teeth, and car trouble * How chaos at home can either crush us or deepen our trust in God * Miracles, doubt, and the desire for “proof” * “If God would just give us a miracle, evangelization would be easy” * The everyday miracles we ignore: the Eucharist, confession, conversions * Why even those who saw Jesus’ miracles still doubted and fled * Spiritual blindness in the apostles and in us * Peter’s “I’ll never deny you” moment—and the fall that followed * The apostles missing who Jesus really is, even after years of walking with Him * Looking back on friendships and seasons of life and realizing, “I was blind to how unhealthy that really was” * How our culture and attachments distort our judgment * Bringing politics into our faith and letting ideology outrank the Gospel * The overworking dad: when “providing” becomes an excuse to avoid the harder work of fatherhood * Attachment to success, busyness, and being “the guy” who makes everything happen * The “theology guy” who knows tons about the faith but never actually prays or serves * St. John of the Cross and Aquinas on blindness of mind * Disordered attachments as a cause of spiritual blindness * Misapplying first principles and deforming prudence * Why ignorance isn’t always innocent—especially when it’s chosen * Dante, betrayal, and why some wounds cut so deep * Why Dante places traitors and betrayers at the bottom of hell * The pain of realizing someone you trusted was not who you thought * How misplaced trust in people can tempt us to distrust God * Practical ways to grow in spiritual clarity* * Daily (or even twice-daily) examination of conscience * Honest fraternal correction and asking your friends to tell you the truth * Living a real ascetical life: fasting, temperance, and taming appetites * Submitting your judgment to the Church instead of making yourself the standard * Turning to the sacraments—especially confession and the Eucharist—for renewed vision

Along the way, you’ll also hear:

• A story about accidentally using cardamom instead of cinnamon on a first date
• The strangely satisfying joy of a perfectly vacuumed game room
• The quiet fulfillment of husbandry—raising animals, caring for land, and stewarding what God has given

This episode is an invitation to ask hard questions:

• Where am I convinced I’m right, but might be deeply wrong?
• What am I attached to that clouds my judgment?
• Who do I trust enough to tell me what I don’t see about myself?

If you’ve ever looked back on a season of life and thought, “How did I not see that?”—this conversation is for you.

Opening: Setting the Record Straight

No, The Catholic Man Show isn’t joining The Daily Wire. A sincere congrats to Matt Fradd on taking Pints With Aquinas to a bigger platform—and a case for celebrating a brother’s success without the cynicism.

Why Moves Like This Matter

Media realities, families to provide for, and why “selling out” is usually just a lazy take. Bigger reach can mean more souls reached—full stop.

Pilgrimage Debrief: Rome, Florence, and Awe

• Florence surprises: the David, the Medici footprint, and why the city stole the show.
• Rome moments: St. Mary Major, the House of Loreto, and the joy of praying where the Holy Family lived.
• Padre Pio: devotion, controversy, and a frank take on the modern shrine aesthetic.

A Feast-Day Field Note

St. Hubert, patron of hunters, meets a proud dad moment: a 12-year-old’s first solo hunt, patience under pressure, and why rites of passage matter for boys.

Main Topic: Obedience Without Caricature

• Aquinas on obedience: not the greatest virtue (charity is), but among the highest of the moral virtues because it orders us to the good.
• Catechism on authority (cf. 1897ff): authority is legitimate when it seeks the common good and respects moral law; unjust commands do not bind.
• Three “levels” of obedience
• Modern resistance to authority vs. Christian freedom: obedience is not blind; it’s charity and justice in action.

Socrates, the Coliseum, and Costly Witness

A lively back-and-forth: unjust sentences, martyrdom, and whether courage sometimes looks like staying put.

Fatherhood and the Pattern of Obedience

• Children learn reverence for God’s authority by seeing Dad obey the Church, pray when he doesn’t “feel like it,” and submit his will to the good.
• House rules and spiritual rule: why outside authority often works better than self-made resolutions.

Community Corner

Thanks to patrons, cookies, and a few inside-baseball notes about keeping a niche Catholic show on the air without taking a dime personally.

Key Takeaways* Celebrate good work when Catholic creators get a larger platform. * Obedience isn’t weakness; it’s strength directed toward the highest good. * Legitimate authority deserves assent; unjust commands do not. * Fathers model obedience that forms a family’s conscience. * Pilgrimage sharpens conviction—beauty and history catechize the heart.

Mentioned in the Episode St. Thomas Aquinas: Summa Theologiae, II–II, q.104 (obedience). * Catechism of the Catholic Church: on authority and the common good (around 1897–1904). * St. Hubert: patron saint of hunters. * Padre Pio: witness of obedience amid misunderstanding. * House of Loreto, St. Mary Major, Florence’s David:* moments where beauty meets belief.

Recording on the move along the Adriatic, the guys sit down in Italy with their spiritual guide and friend Fr. Stuart Crevecour to talk about Eucharistic adoration—what it is, why it matters, and how to begin. From stories of Eucharistic miracles in Cascia and Orvieto to practical advice for dads bringing kids to the chapel, this episode explores how adoration “holds a moment of the Mass” so Christ can transform our week. Along the way: pilgrimage anecdotes, incorrupt saints, and a few dad-joke detours.

Segment GuideOn the Road (and Sea): Why This Episode Is Different

First-ever episode recorded in transit—pilgrimage vibes, College GameDay energy, and what a Jubilee year in Italy feels like.

Eucharistic Miracles: From Casual Irreverence to Deep Conversion

The bleeding breviary in Cascia and the miracle preserved in Orvieto become cautionary tales—and catalysts—for reverence and faith.

What Adoration Is (and Isn’t)

Fr. Stuart offers a simple frame: adoration as a moment of the Mass held in contemplation—the elevation “stretched” so we can gaze and be changed.

Does It Really Do Anything? Why Go

From “just try it” to “I can’t live without my hour,” we hear how steady time before the monstrance re-centers a life and renews prayer.

Awkward at First: How to Start a Holy Hour

Bring a rosary or a good spiritual book. Expect silence to feel long. Keep going. Over time, conversation gives way to presence.

Spiritual Communion: When You Can’t Receive

Making a spiritual communion at home or in church keeps us oriented toward the tabernacle—especially helpful in seasons of waiting or constraint.

Benediction: A Different Kind of Blessing

Why the blessing at the end of adoration is unique: you’re being blessed by Christ himself, truly present in the Host.

Family Adoration (Without the Panic)

Practical ideas: parish “family holy hours,” short come-and-go windows, and training kids gently in reverence (yes, even page-turning).

If Your Parish Doesn’t Have Adoration

How to ask your pastor for a weekly hour or occasional exposition—and ways laity can help make it happen.

From Medieval Piety to Today’s Renewal

How devotion blossomed after Corpus Christi and grew again in recent decades—feeding vocations, parish life, and personal holiness.

Key Takeaways Adoration deepens Communion. It doesn’t replace the Mass; it disposes us to receive the Eucharist more fruitfully. * Start small, stay steady. Twenty minutes grows into an hour; over time, you won’t want to miss it. * Bring the kids. Create kid-friendly windows or family hours; let children encounter Jesus and learn chapel habits gradually. * Spiritual communion matters. If you can’t receive sacramentally, orient yourself to the tabernacle and keep showing up. * Benediction blesses uniquely.* The blessing is given with Christ himself, not merely by the priest.

Memorable Lines* “Adoration is a moment of the Mass held in contemplation.” * “You can’t outgive the Lord—show up and let Him do the work.” * “Hang out with Jesus often; we become like the people we’re with.” * “Correct the [Eucharistic] abuses, but don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater.”

How to Begin a Holy Hour (Simple Plan)1. Arrive and acknowledge: a slow Sign of the Cross; “Lord, I’m here.” 2. Read briefly (5–10 min): a Gospel passage or trusted spiritual classic. 3. Pray a decade or the whole Rosary. 4. Rest in silence: “I look at Him and He looks at me.” 5. Finish with gratitude and one concrete resolution for the week.

Resources & Places Mentioned Basilica of St. Rita of Cascia (Eucharistic miracle) * Orvieto (miracle tied to the Feast of Corpus Christi) * Sacré-Cœur, Paris (longstanding perpetual adoration) * St. Thomas Aquinas (Eucharistic hymns for Corpus Christi) * St. John Vianney (on simple adoration) * St. John Paul II (modern renewal of adoration) * St. Peter Julian Eymard* (19th-century apostle of the Eucharist)

For Dads & Grandfathers* Keep expectations age-appropriate. Five or ten minutes is a win. * Prep gently before you enter; debrief after with hot chocolate or a donut. * Rotate one-on-one holy hours so each child sees Dad pray

Listener ChallengeCommit to one adoration visit this week. If your parish lacks exposition, pray before the tabernacle—or make a daily spiritual communion at home, oriented toward your parish church.

Adam and Dave are broadcasting from the heart of Assisi, Italy—knee-deep in pilgrimage vibes with St. Francis, St. Clare, and the whole crew. They break down the "establish" pillar of fatherhood (you know, the third leg of protect-provide-establish) and get talk about turning your home into fertile soil where your family's faith thrives. Recorded right after a providential run-in with a fan who spotted Adam's voice in the wild—shoutout to Kel from Illinois!

Key Highlights:

• Pilgrimage Gold: Fresh off praying at St. Francis' tomb and St. Clare's incorrupt body. Plus, stories of Francis dodging death in the Holy Land because even the Saracens couldn't handle his holiness. Spiritual overload = total win.
• The Father's Job: Establish a Culture: Forget the 30-something basement-dwellers—it's time to till that family soil like a pro vintner. They riff on winery chats: Every plot's different, climates change, so adapt your strategy. Build traditions around high feasts (Christmas Nativity read-aloud before gifts? Yes!), guard your wife's prayer time, and echo that husband-wife holiness down to the kids.
• Resilience Like the Saints: One bad call ruins your day? No. Channel St. Clare ("No suffering bothers me!") and blind-but-joyful St. Francis. Practice gratitude, God's-will-be-done prayers, and bounce back fast—'cause your mood sets the home tone.
• Focus or Bust: Saints win by laser-focus on holiness. Ditch the noise (X, YouTube, endless projects). Adam's hack: Stopwatch your day. Shocking how 25 minutes of "deep work" gets hijacked by texts. Apply it home—clock real presence with kids over fence-painting busywork.

Adam's Four Pillars to Cultivate Christian Life:

1. Silence – God's language. Train kids to quiet appetites at home so they can apply it at Holy Mass.
2. Reverence – Rebel against irreverence. Yes sir/ma'am, genuflect at churches, dress sharp for Mass—builds love for the Eucharist.
3. Hard Work – Outpace 90% by pushing past "I can't." Sports, chess, prayer, fasting—saints weren't smarter, just tougher.

4. Charity – The supernatural crescendo. Serve without quid pro quo (Catechism 2223). Punch in pure love, St. Nick-style.

5. Grandpa Power: You're the tradition custodian! Give "state of the union" fireplaceside talks like Adam's grandpa—wisdom from the trenches and the hilltop.

6. Soul-Crafting Close: Italian churches are stunning, but one holy soul outshines 'em all. You're the craftsman for your wife's and kids' souls—steward God's talents like your life depends on it (spoiler: it does).

Action Steps for Catholic Dads:

1. Tonight: List 3 family traditions to start (feast-focused first).
2. Tomorrow: Stopwatch 1 hour of undistracted kid-time. No phone.
3. This Week: Guard your wife's prayer slot—strictly.
4. Pray: "Lord, till my home soil for saints."

Every man needs a rule of life—a clear, concrete framework that keeps prayer, family, work, and virtue in order. Without it, we risk wasting time, neglecting our duties, and drifting through life. With it, we gain clarity, perseverance, and a spiritual roadmap toward sanctity.

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, we explore:

• Natural benefits of a rule: better use of time, decisiveness, consistency, and efficiency.
• Supernatural benefits: transforming daily actions into prayer, combating disorder, and conforming life to God’s will.
• For your neighbor: how your fidelity inspires others, balances prayer and apostolic works, and sanctifies your community.
• The right balance: flexibility without laxity, firmness without scrupulosity.
• Concrete considerations: prayer, family life, work, personal discipline, community, and apostolic action.

A rule of life isn’t about rigidity—it’s about freedom: God first, then your soul, your family, and your apostolate.

“He who lives by rule, lives unto God.”

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, Adam and David wrestle with advice, masculinity, and the struggle for holiness. Drawing from the wisdom of Venerable Fulton Sheen, they explore the three causes of love, the mystery of prayer, and why real men must go beyond “average” to pursue heroic virtue. Along the way, they share stories of fraternity, marriage, business, and spiritual battles—and how the simple thought “Just do it” can transform your daily walk with Christ.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why comparing yourself to the “average American man” sets the bar far too low
• Fulton Sheen’s teaching on goodness, knowledge, and similarity as foundations of love

• “Extraordinary men and women are saints because they have heroic virtue. Not just virtue—heroic virtue.”
• “Ordinary does not call you to get up early, to sacrifice comfort, or to fight for your family. Heroic men do.”
• “Sometimes, you just have to Nike up, bro. Just do it.”

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, Adam shares a powerful story about his son, a food truck, and an unexpected act of virtue that left a lasting impact — not only on his son, but on him as a father. It’s not a flex… but it kind of is.

What does it mean to live virtuously in public? How can one small act of kindness or virtue build up a community, shape a young man’s character, and challenge all of us to do more with what we’ve been given?

Adam and David dive into:

• The deep value of prudence — the “charioteer” of the virtues
• The role of memory in growing in wisdom
• And of course… the return of David from his 17-month “vacation”

Plus: whiskey reviews, Clear Creek Abbey updates, the Catholic Man Show Campout hype, and why From Silence to Silence is the book to read for St. Michael’s Lent.

This episode is a mix of fraternal storytelling, serious virtue talk, and a challenge to be the kind of man whose actions ripple into eternity.

Challenge This Week:

Matt Walsh on Rest, Leisure, and Why Men Need to Get Off Their PhonesIn this episode of The Catholic Man Show, Adam Minihan and David Niles sit down with Matt Walsh — Catholic commentator, author, and host of The Matt Walsh Show — for a conversation on leisure, manhood, and how technology is reshaping our minds.

Matt shares his perspective on the modern man’s crisis of leisure, the dangers of mindless scrolling, and why intentional hobbies like fishing or board games are more than just recreation — they’re necessary for the soul.

They discuss:

• Why men today are worse at leisure than their grandfathers
• How social media disorders our view of rest
• The connection between leisure, joy, and being fully human

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles share personal anecdotes and deep spiritual insights, focusing on the challenge of distractions in prayer. From road trip stories to household mishaps, the hosts set the stage with relatable humor before diving into a discussion inspired by St. Thomas Aquinas and Father Frederick Faber. They explore the five fountains of distraction in prayer, offering practical advice for cultivating a deeper prayer life by addressing distractions outside of prayer time.

Key Discussion Points:

• Opening Banter (00:00:19 - 00:04:50): David recounts his family road trip to Wyoming, including an unexpected stop in Denver and the challenges of traveling with six kids. Adam shares his chaotic week of household breakdowns, from a malfunctioning dishwasher to a beeping van door and a broken lawnmower, humorously reflecting on the "throwaway culture" he’s trying to resist.
• Health Struggles (00:09:01 - 00:11:24): Adam discusses a rare bout of heartburn that kept him up at night, highlighting his lack of Tums and his struggle to lead a meeting while sleep-deprived and feverish. David relates to his heartburn experience from a past "one chip challenge" on the show.
• Sponsorship Spotlight (00:12:00 - 00:12:39): The hosts thank Select International Tours, a long-time sponsor, for their reliable pilgrimage offerings. They encourage listeners to visit selectinternationaltours.com for details on their upcoming October pilgrimage to Italy, emphasizing the ideal weather and transformative experience.
• What We’re Drinking (00:37:02 - 00:37:26): Adam and David enjoy Wyoming Whiskey, a bourbon David praises for its affordability ($30 in Wyoming) and delicious flavor, making it a fitting choice for the episode.
• Main Topic: Distractions in Prayer (00:15:28 - 01:11:09):
• Personal Reflection: Adam shares a moment of grace in adoration, where he asked God to reveal impediments in his prayer life. A distracting phone check during a conversation revealed his struggle with presence, sparking a realization about the need for focus in both human and divine relationships.
• Theological Foundation: Drawing from St. Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologica (Second Part of the Second Part) and Father Walter Farrell’s Companion to the Summa, the hosts discuss prayer as an act of the will, preceded by the intellect. They reference the Baltimore Catechism’s teaching that we are made to “know, love, and serve” God, emphasizing that knowing God fuels love, which leads to service.

• Five Fountains of Distraction (Father Frederick Faber):

• Disordered Health: An obsession with health (valetudinarian state) can distract from tranquility in prayer, unlike true suffering, which can draw one closer to God when united with the Cross.

• Actions of the Holy Spirit: Distractions can serve as a crucible to humble and purify, grounding believers in deeper devotion by burning away self-love.
• The Devil: Demonic distractions are marked by their abundance, vivid imagery, soul-disquieting nature, disconnection from daily life, repetitive patterns, and potential to lead to sin. Custody of the eyes, especially against sins of the sixth and ninth commandments, is crucial to limit the devil’s influence.
• Inculpable Self: Unintentional distractions arise from temperament, imagination, or poor spiritual direction, which are not deliberately chosen but still disrupt prayer.

• Culpable Self: Deliberately entertained distractions are grave sins if knowingly allowed during time owed to God. These include:

• Bodily Sources: Lack of mortification, irreverent postures (e.g., not kneeling when able), and frequent position changes. Kneeling can orient the mind toward God, uniting discomfort with the Cross.

• Mental Sources (Seven Causes):

• Carelessness about minute sins, which corrupt purity of intention.

• Lukewarmness (tepidness), often unrecognized, blinds one to spiritual deficiencies.
• Curiosity, especially a thirst for news or irrelevant knowledge, distracts from one’s vocation.
• Lack of preparation for prayer, such as not reflecting beforehand or rushing in without focus.
• Neglecting custody of the senses outside of prayer (e.g., excessive phone use or unchaste media).
• Failing to practice ejaculatory prayers (e.g., “Jesus, I trust in you”), which redirect the mind to God.

• Not addressing recurring distractions through mortification.

• Practical Advice: The hosts emphasize that the battle against distractions is won outside of prayer through habits like custody of the senses, scheduled prayer times, and preparation (e.g., silent reflection before adoration). Adam shares his practice of focusing on intentions during the drive to adoration, while David highlights the value of ejaculatory prayers and teaching children to offer Mass intentions.

• Key Insight: Faber’s teaching that “the time of prayer is not the time for the true combat with distractions” underscores the need to build disciplined habits throughout the day, such as avoiding phone distractions during conversations or limiting exposure to sensational news.

Episode Overview:

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles dive into a lighthearted yet profound discussion about the phrase "killing two birds with one stone," the joys and challenges of high school reunions, and a deep exploration of friendship—both human and divine. The episode centers on John 15:14-15, where Jesus calls His disciples friends, not servants, offering a transformative perspective on what it means to live in communion with Christ. A powerful confession experience ties the conversation together, emphasizing the shift from doing things for God to doing them with Him.

Key Discussion Points:

• Opening Banter (00:00:16 - 00:04:55): Adam and David humorously debate the origins and modern misuse of the phrase "killing two birds with one stone," referencing historical and biblical imagery like David and Goliath, and even a viral video of Nolan Ryan hitting a bird with a baseball.
• Life Updates (00:05:00 - 00:11:39): David shares his excitement for an upcoming family reunion in Wyoming, while Adam talks about his son Leo’s second-place finish in mutton busting at a local rodeo and his anticipation for a 20-year high school reunion, sparking a funny reflection on aging and pride.
• Sponsorship Spotlight (00:12:00 - 00:13:15): The hosts highlight their long-time sponsor, Select International Tours, encouraging listeners to explore pilgrimage opportunities at selectinternationaltours.com and join their upcoming trip to Italy in October.
• What We’re Drinking (00:13:29 - 00:15:47): Adam and David enjoy The Sassenach, a blended Scotch whiskey with a Gaelic name meaning "outsider" or "stranger." They praise its Highland-like flavor and art deco bottle, likening it to a Mad Men-style decanter.
• Literature and Reading (00:16:46 - 00:20:43): David discusses reading G.K. Chesterton’s Man Alive, recommended by Monsignor Gallus, a Chesterton scholar, and touches on Plato’s The Republic. The hosts reflect on Chesterton’s whimsical style and the influence of classical works on Christian thought.
• Main Topic: Friendship with Christ (00:22:08 - 00:58:51):
• Biblical Foundation: Adam introduces John 15:14-15, where Jesus says, “You are my friends if you keep what I command you. No longer do I call you servants… but I have called you friends.” This passage sets the stage for a discussion on authentic friendship.
• Philosophical Insights: Drawing from Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics (Books 8-10), the hosts explore his three types of friendship—pleasure, utility, and authentic (virtuous) friendship. Aristotle views authentic friendship as the highest moral achievement, impossible without virtue, as vice renders true friendship unattainable.
• Christian Perspective: The discussion connects Aristotle’s ideas to Christian theology, with references to Augustine, Aquinas, and Cicero. Aquinas describes charity as the highest form of friendship, requiring mutual love, willing the good of the other, and a shared life—mirrored in Christ’s relationship with His disciples.
• Old vs. New Covenant: The hosts contrast the Old Covenant’s servanthood (e.g., Abraham obeying without full understanding) with the New Covenant’s friendship, where Christ shares divine knowledge, inviting us into intimacy and communion.
• Confession Insight: Adam shares a transformative moment from confession, where a priest challenged his mentality of doing things for God, urging him to focus on doing things with God. This shift reframes Christian life as a relationship of friendship, not obligation, aligning with John 15’s message.
• Communion of Saints: The episode explores how the communion of saints reflects perfect friendship, unhindered by human vice, and how Christ’s infinite love desires this communion with us.
• Practical Takeaway: The hosts encourage listeners to reflect on John 15:9-17 in adoration, emphasizing that God doesn’t need our works but desires our companionship. This perspective relieves the pressure of performance and combats pride, fostering a deeper relationship with Christ.

Events and Announcements:

• Catholic Man Show Campout: Scheduled for the last Saturday in September at Clear Creek Abbey. Sign-ups open in August, with new activities planned for this milestone event (approximately the 10th annual campout).

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles welcome Michael Knowles, conservative commentator and host of The Michael Knowles Show, to discuss the critical role of language in shaping truth, culture, and faith. Drawing from philosophy, theology, and literature, Knowles explores how the corruption of language distorts our perception of reality, the dangers of slogans and propaganda, and the rebellious power of silence in a distracted world. From Dante’s view of fraud to the importance of interpreting the “signs of the times,” this episode is a thought-provoking call to reclaim language for truth and virtue.

Key Discussion Points:

• Language as a Lens for Truth: Knowles explains that language is not a neutral tool but shapes how we perceive the world. Misusing it, such as through euphemisms like “undocumented American” instead of “illegal alien,” can obscure truth and manipulate thought.
• Euphemisms and Lies: While polite euphemisms (e.g., “woman of a certain age”) can be charitable, dishonest ones cross into lying, undermining civil discourse and societal standards.
• The Battle of Standards: The real fight isn’t between free speech and censorship but between competing norms. Knowles critiques free speech absolutism, advocating for standards that reject obscenity and fraud in the public square.
• Philosophy and Language Degradation: Drawing on Josef Pieper, Knowles notes that denying objective truth turns language into a tool for manipulation, eroding reasoned debate and civil society.
• The Power of Silence: In a world of constant noise, silence is a rebellious act that allows us to hear God’s voice and interpret the “signs of the times,” as Christ urges.
• Dante and Fraud: Knowles connects Deacon Harrison Garlick’s idea of lying as “contraceptive speech” to Dante’s Inferno, where fraud, especially betrayal, is among the gravest sins, as it perverts language’s purpose of conveying truth.
• Christian Task of Interpretation: Knowles emphasizes that Christians are called not to “do” but to interpret the world’s meaning, aligning actions with truth rather than reconstructing it.

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles dive into the topic of spiritual idleness, drawing from Father Frederick Faber’s Growth in Holiness: Progress of the Spiritual Life. Recorded around the Fourth of July, the episode begins with a celebration of small-town Americana, from mutton busting at the local rodeo to the ordination of their friend, Father Robert Williams. The hosts then explore seven developments of spiritual idleness—dissipation, sadness, sloth, and more—offering practical insights on how to stay vigilant and prioritize a life oriented toward God. Sipping on Balvenie’s American Oak 12-Year Scotch, Adam and David discuss how modern distractions, like smartphones and excessive communication, fragment our focus and hinder our prayer life, and share strategies for cultivating presence, joy, and intentionality in both spiritual and daily routines.

Key Discussion Points:

• Small-Town Americana: The hosts celebrate the Heart of America rodeo, mutton busting, and the communal prayer and patriotism of small-town events, reflecting on their importance in fostering connection.
• Priestly Ordination: David shares a moving story of his son’s emotional response to Father Robert Williams’ ordination, highlighting the eternal nature of the priesthood and the call to discernment.
• Spiritual Idleness Defined: Drawing from Father Faber’s Growth in Holiness, the hosts unpack seven developments of spiritual idleness: dissipation (misprioritizing tasks), sadness (rooted in self-love), sloth (hatred of existence), useless industry (excessive communication), and general indifference to time.
• Dissipation’s Impact: Putting less important tasks first disrupts the hierarchy of goods, leading to a loss of peace and distractions in prayer, as Faber notes: “He who is diligent will soon be cheerful.”
• Sadness and Self-Love: Sadness, driven by self-improvement rather than God, gives the devil power over the soul, undermining spiritual progress.
• Sloth as a Culmination: Sloth combines dissipation and sadness, fostering a distaste for existence and duties, disrupting the tranquility of order (Aquinas’ definition of peace).
• Useless Industry: Faber’s critique of excessive letter-writing in the 1800s applies to today’s text messaging and social media, which fragment focus and reduce meaningful communication.
• Indifference to Time: Wasting time, especially on addictive platforms like YouTube Shorts, is a “stupid” sin that squanders the precious, irrevocable gift of time, which Faber calls “the stuff out of which eternity is made.”
• Focus and Presence: True focus requires saying “no” to distractions to prioritize God’s will, fostering presence in both daily life and prayer, as exemplified by a man eating lunch under a tree without multitasking.
• Leisure Done Right: Leisure must align with one’s state in life, be tethered to joy, and have a contemplative aspect, avoiding compulsory or utilitarian ends.

Notable Quotes from Father Frederick Faber:

• “Dissipation… consists in putting things off beyond their proper times so that one duty treads upon the heels of another, and all duties are felt as irksome obligations.”
• “He who is diligent will soon be cheerful.”
• “The soul of sadness is self-love… How many are there whose real end in the spiritual life is self-improvement rather than God?”
• “Nothing gives the devil so much power over us [as sadness].”
• “Time is the stuff out of which eternity is made… we shall have to give the strictest account of it at the last.”

Episode OverviewDavid and Adam welcome Father Mike Schmitz to discuss the transformative power of prayer. With humor and candor, they explore the difference between merely saying prayers and truly praying, addressing how to cultivate a prayer life that aligns with God’s will. Drawing from Saint John Chrysostom and Fr. Thomas Dubay, the conversation emphasizes the universal need for prayer, especially for laypeople navigating the challenges of daily life, and offers practical insights for moving from rote recitation to a deeper, relational encounter with God.

Key Discussion Points Prayer for All Vocations: Fr. Mike Schmitz challenges the assumption that monks have a deeper prayer life, citing Saint John Chrysostom’s teaching that laypeople need prayer and scripture more than monks due to the “arrows and spears” of daily life—annoying bosses, irritating spouses, and bothersome kids. This resonates as a call for everyone to prioritize prayer, regardless of their state in life. * From Saying to Praying: The hosts and Fr. Mike discuss the transition from reciting set prayers to engaging in mental prayer (e.g., Ignatian prayer, Lectio Divina). Fr. Mike shares a personal story of a silent retreat where a memorized psalm provided words when his own failed, highlighting the value of rote prayers as a foundation for deeper communion. * Distractions in Prayer: The conversation addresses the common struggle of distractions, distinguishing between intentional distractions (e.g., checking a phone during prayer) and natural ones that God may use to purify prayer. Adam emphasizes the beauty of “wasting time” with God in contemplative presence, akin to an old couple silently enjoying each other’s company, versus being distracted by external devices. * Why Prayer Matters: Prayer is an act of faith, rooted in the belief that time spent with God transforms us into the person He calls us to be. Fr. Mike compares prayer’s motivation to health practices like intermittent fasting: if you’re convinced it makes a difference, you’ll commit. Prayer changes us to love like Jesus, even when we feel inadequate. * Overcoming Apathy and Ignorance: Referencing a humorous anecdote about a coach and player discussing “ignorance and apathy,” Fr. Mike stresses that convincing someone to pray requires sparking a desire to become more like Christ. Without an encounter with Jesus (the kerygma), prayer may seem irrelevant to those who don’t yet care to grow in holiness. * Practical Advice for Laymen*: Fr. Thomas Dubay’s blunt wisdom—“If you’re content being a mediocre dad or mom, don’t pray”—underscores that prayer is essential for excellence in any vocation. Fr. Mike encourages introducing children to mental prayer early, as seen in his summer camp where sixth graders learn Lectio Divina and Ignatian prayer.

Featured Gift Catholic Woodworker Rosary: Fr. Mike receives an heirloom-quality rosary from The Catholic Woodworker, featuring handcrafted wood beads built to last. The hosts highlight its durability, even with young children handling it, and promote the official Catholic Man Show* rosary.

Spiritual TakeawayPrayer is not just a checkbox but an act of faith that transforms us into the image of Christ. Whether through memorized prayers that anchor us when words fail or mental prayer that fosters intimate communion, the key is presence with God. Laypeople, facing daily trials, need prayer as much as—if not more than—monks. By committing to prayer, even amidst distractions, we grow in love and align with God’s will for our lives.

Call to Action Get a Catholic Woodworker Rosary: Visit catholicwoodworker.com to purchase an heirloom-quality rosary, including the official Catholic Man Show design, perfect for daily prayer. * Practice Mental Prayer*: Start with Lectio Divina or Ignatian prayer to deepen your prayer life. Set aside time daily, even if brief, to be present with God, trusting that it will transform you.

Episode OverviewDavid and Adam share humorous anecdotes from their chaotic home lives—mice-catching kids, runaway cows, and pig feeder mishaps—before diving into a deep discussion on spiritual growth. Drawing from Father Frederick Faber’s Growth in Holiness, they explore five practical signs of progress in the spiritual life, offering insights for men seeking to deepen their relationship with God. The episode balances lighthearted banter with profound reflections on humility, perseverance, and living intentionally for Christ.

Key Discussion PointsLife Updates:

• Adam recounts his son Leo’s antics, including catching mice and feeding them into traps, and opening a gate, letting a cow escape during relentless Oklahoma rain. He also shares the challenges of a kitchen remodel, leading to household disorder and a mouse infestation.
• David discusses his pigs knocking over their feeder, eating through plywood, and his frustration-driven rebuild with metal siding, highlighting the manual labor woes of farm life.
• Spiritual Focus: The hosts explore Father Frederick Faber’s Growth in Holiness (published by Cor Iesu Press), focusing on Chapter 1’s five signs of progress in the spiritual life. Faber, a 19th-century Oratorian and convert, offers timeless clarity on Catholic spirituality.
• Contradictions in the Spiritual Life: Faber notes the spiritual life is full of contradictions due to our fallen nature, particularly the tension between knowing ourselves deeply while thinking of ourselves humbly. David challenges the modern adage that humility is “thinking about yourself less,” arguing that true humility requires rightly ordered self-reflection.

What Not to Do:

• Don’t Ask Your Spiritual Director for Progress Reports: Faber advises against seeking your spiritual director’s judgment on your progress, as it places unfair pressure on them and risks oversimplifying complex spiritual states.
• Avoid Arbitrary Benchmarks: Setting personal, artificial markers of progress can lead to disquietude, distracting from genuine growth and forfeiting graces.

Five Signs of Spiritual Progress:

1. Discontent with Your Present State: A desire to be holier, coupled with humility and gratitude for past graces, indicates progress. This discontent must avoid sloth (acedia) or unease with devotional practices.
2. Constant Fresh Starts: Persevering through repeated failures by recommitting to holiness (e.g., overcoming a persistent sin like pornography) is a sign of growth, reflecting perseverance.
3. Specific Goals in View: Actively pursuing a particular virtue, overcoming a specific fault, or adopting a penance shows intentionality, akin to a business plan for spiritual growth.
4. Feeling God’s Particular Call: An “attraction” to a specific fault to correct or pious work to undertake, guided by the Holy Spirit, signals progress. Not all experience this, but it’s significant when present.
5. General Desire for Perfection: A broad desire to be more perfect, if acted upon through prayer, penance, or zealous acts, is valuable but must be channeled into action to avoid spiritual stagnation.

Practical Reflections:

• Adam shares his practice of writing down elements of a “good day” (waking early, praying, reading, working hard, family dinner, early bedtime) to replicate satisfying days, aligning with Faber’s call for specific goals.
• David reflects on overcoming obsessive thoughts by offering gratitude to God, transforming burdens into opportunities for grace, illustrating the power of fresh starts.

Hot Takes:

• Faber’s claim that “we must not be without fear even of forgiven sin” sparks debate. David questions fearing forgiven sins, suggesting it doubts God’s mercy, while Adam interprets it as acknowledging lingering attachments or temporal consequences requiring atonement.
• Faber’s assertion that exact knowledge of our growth in grace is harmful is clarified as a caution against prideful self-assessment, emphasizing trust in God’s measurement over our own.

Priced at $25 for a four-pack, it’s a rare find but best sampled if you enjoy sour beers.

Spiritual TakeawayThe spiritual life is not about mountaintop experiences or avoiding sin alone but pursuing a deeper relationship with Christ through intentional, humble efforts. Faber’s five signs encourage men to embrace discontent as a spur to holiness, persevere through fresh starts, set specific goals, respond to God’s unique call, and act on desires for perfection. By avoiding prideful self-measurement and trusting in God’s grace, we can grow in love and freedom.

BBQ Judging, Scythe Harvesting, and Christian Marriage* Barbecue Competition Judging: Adam shares his first experience as a barbecue competition judge at a local Catholic church and school fundraiser in Tulsa, where he was joined by his son Jude (assistant judge) and two priests. * Judged four categories: chicken, pulled pork, ribs, and brisket (Adam insists brisket is the primary measure; David (wrongly) argues for ribs). * 12 pit masters competed; judged on appearance, taste, tenderness, texture, uniqueness, and overall (max score 25). * Advice from Joe Martin’s son: Take one bite per entry to avoid overeating (48 bites total across 40 minutes). * Adam judged strictly (e.g., scores as low as 14, zero for appearance), while priests gave higher scores (23–24), highlighting differing standards. * Event fostered camaraderie among pit masters (12 hours together) and service to attendees, teaching kids sacrifice, friendship, and craft articulation. * Shout-out to Brian Schooley for organizing; Adam and David plan to enter as The Catholic Man Show next year, with Jim in a dunk tank.

Main DiscussionWheat Harvest with a Scythe David’s Experience: David harvested two 45x45-foot wheat plots using a scythe, finding it soothing, peaceful, and in tune with nature despite being exhausting. * Quotes Wendell Berry: “The means we use to do our work almost certainly affects the way we look at the world” (via an X account, @minahan8). * Compared to last year’s sickle (felt “commie”), the scythe was efficient for small-scale farming; not practical for large-scale but satisfying. * Kids raked straw (post-harvest, nutritionless due to seeding) for pig bedding or garden mulch; straw vs. hay explained (hay retains nutrition). * Adam plans to borrow David’s scythe for his own wheat harvest, nervous about back strain. * Wendell Berry Reflection:* Hosts revisit Berry’s essays, appreciating his beautiful, idealistic conclusions but finding his reasoning insufficient (e.g., abandoning tractors would starve people). * Compare Berry’s idealism to J.R.R. Tolkien and Guardini's Letters at Lake Como; both depict lovely worlds but lack practical solutions for modern challenges.

Christian Marriage and Pope Leo XIII Introduction to Pope Leo XIII: Adam introduces Pope Leo XIII (1810–1903), a prophetic figure who addressed modernity’s challenges (secularism, communism, liberalism) in the late 19th century. * Known for Rerum Novarum (1891, Catholic social teaching), reviving Thomism in seminaries (to counter Nietzsche, Hegel, and communism), and engaging modern society. * His encyclical Arcanum Divinae Sapientiae (1880) emphasizes Christian marriage as a divine, not secular, institution, foundational to society. * Critiqued rise of divorce, moral relativism, and civil interference undermining marriage’s sanctity; argued church, not state, holds primary authority over marriage. * Marriage as Trinitarian Image:* Marriage mirrors the Trinity’s relational society, where spousal love is so real it produces a third (child), reflecting Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. * Secular view (Enlightenment-era and today) reduces marriage to a consensual contract, ignoring its sacramental, stable, and permanent nature. * State has a role in regulating marriage per natural law, but church’s supernatural authority supersedes.

Ephesians 5 and Mutual Submission Scriptural Basis: Leo XIII references Ephesians 5 (footnoted), where St. Paul instructs mutual submission out of reverence for Christ, with specific roles: wives submit to husbands, husbands love wives as Christ loved the church. * Secular society fixates on “wives submit,” ignoring mutual submission and husbands’ sacrificial love. * Submission Defined: Adam posits submission stems from extreme trust (in a good relationship) or fear (in a bad one); David nuances that even small decisions involve trust or fear, and submission means aligning with another’s mission (e.g., heaven). * Ideal marriage: Both spouses are so submissive they forget themselves, sharing one mission (heaven), as exemplified by Mary and Joseph (near-perfect). * Practical Mission:* Couples must articulate what “getting to heaven” means (e.g., prioritizing Mass over sports, family dinners, or vacation choices). * Early marriage decisions set family identity, reducing conflicts when children’s desires arise; trust builds when both spouses prioritize each other’s salvation. * Example: Blessed Karl of Austria to Zita: “Now we must get to heaven together,” requiring intentional, sometimes extreme steps.

Second Segment: Roles in Christian Marriage Husband as Leader: Husband is head of the household (per Genesis), leading with love, not dominance, kneeling beside his wife in prayer. * David prays daily for the Holy Spirit to inspire Pamela’s intuition, valuing her as a “helper” (biblical term for Holy Spirit), taking her insights seriously for family decisions. * Adam prays during Adoration for Haylee to grow closer to Mary, modeling humility and femininity. * Leadership Analogy: Like business, where employees leave due to poor leaders, not the mission, wives stay committed if husbands lead with love toward heaven. * Neglecting presence or duties undermines the mission, making separation easier despite shared goals. * Formation:* Husbands must prioritize prayer, Holy Spirit inspiration, and faith learning to pass tradition to children, adapting as family life grows louder and more complex.

Family Prayer Challenges David’s Routine: Observes “great silence” mornings to foster prayer and silence as a virtue, though young kids (e.g., 2-year-old Susanna) need reminders. * Older siblings model behavior, reinforcing communal prayer (before/after meals, morning, bedtime). * Adam’s Struggle: Excels at communal prayer but struggles to safeguard individual prayer time for Haylee (10 minutes of silent contemplation); sees it as his role to protect her prayer, and vice versa. * Homeschooling complicates silence (starts at 6 AM when kids sleep); mutual submission includes guarding each other’s prayer time. * Husband’s Role:* Create space for wives to flourish in femininity, free from burdens men ideally handle, requiring intentionality.

Break 2: Return to Discussion Sacramental Calling: Marriage is a sacramental vocation for salvation, under church authority (Arcanum Divinae Sapientiae); natural institution (state-regulated) but primarily supernatural (church-governed). * Polygamy isn’t against natural law, but church elevates monogamy as supernatural ideal. * Instilling Marriage’s Importance in Children: In a secular world of promiscuity and dating apps, parents must: * Model Complementarity: Display masculine men and feminine women (e.g., dresses enhance femininity, not mandatory) to show distinct, complementary roles. * Shield from Technology: Delay exposure to apps like Tinder, which allure with shallow choice over marriage’s depth. * Promote Virtue: Teach what to do (virtue) over what not to do, fostering human flourishing, not legalism. * Measure Virtue: Name virtues (e.g., generosity, kindness) to give them value, like business metrics or Snapchat streaks, making them family goals. * Set Mission:* Reinforce family mission (heaven) through consistent leadership, building trust in parents’ heavenly intent.

Podcast-Exclusive Segment: Encyclicals and Legacy Leo XIII’s Legacy: Oldest pope at death (93), first recorded/photographed; addressed Freemasonry (1880s, less relevant today). * Recommended reading: The Church Speaks to the Modern World (Doubleday, Image Books) compiles Leo XIII’s social teachings, available on abooks.com. * Suggests great book groups intersperse encyclicals (e.g., Rerum Novarum, Arcanum Divinae Sapientiae) with classics for rich discussion. * Patreon Support: Offers audiobooks of five Leo XIII encyclicals, professionally recorded by humans (pre-AI), at catholicmanshow.com. * Father’s Goal:* Reflect the Father’s love, giving children a glimpse of divine love through husbandly and fatherly sacrifice, despite failures.

Closing Thoughts Takeaway: Christian marriage, as Leo XIII taught, is a sacramental foundation of society, requiring mutual submission, trust, and a shared mission to heaven, modeled through virtuous leadership and complementarity. * Encyclical Recommendation: Read Arcanum Divinae Sapientiae (1880) for a primer on Christian marriage’s divine role. * Final Cheers:* “We’re on the Lord’s team, the winning side. Raise your glass! Cheers to Jesus!”

Action Items for Listeners Read Encyclicals: Explore Arcanum Divinae Sapientiae (1880) and Rerum Novarum (1891) for Leo XIII’s insights on marriage and society. * Model Marriage: Display complementary masculinity and femininity; prioritize virtue over legalism to teach children marriage’s value. * Protect Prayer: Safeguard communal and individual prayer times (e.g., great silence, 10 minutes for spouse’s contemplation). * Set Family Mission: Articulate and live the mission to heaven through intentional decisions, building trust and identity. * Support the Show: Join Patreon at catholicmanshow.com for access to Leo XIII encyclical audiobooks and more. * Read Berry:* Revisit Wendell Berry’s essays for beautiful, if idealistic, reflections on work and society.

Tornado Watches, Snakes, and the Holy Spirit Tornado Watch Context:* Hosts record during a tornado watch in Tulsa, Oklahoma, joking about their indifference to watches (less severe than warnings) and the confusing terminology. * David humorously claims to become a "seasoned meteorologist" each spring, sensing storms "in his bones" and using terms like "hook echo". * Brief tangent on Ralph Nader, who ran for president (circa 2000, Bush vs. Gore) and claimed never to have eaten McDonald’s, deemed unbelievable at the time due to McDonald’s ubiquity and lack of stigma.

Main DiscussionMinihan Household Adventures Possum Incident: While Adam was away, his wife Haylee killed a possum in their chicken coop with a .44 Magnum (jokingly exaggerated), impressing Adam via text. * Snake in the House: Upon returning from a trip, Adam’s family found a large snake (not a rat snake, possibly a king snake) in their home. * A child’s blood-curdling scream alerted Haylee; Adam initially deferred to her but helped after learning of the snake. * Snake was fast, striking, and required corralling kids into a closet for safety; Adam trapped it using a box and cardboard, later regretting not feeding it to their seven roosters. * Diocesan Rat Snake Story:* Adam recalls handling a 5+ foot rat snake at the Diocese of Tulsa early in his job, earning awe from coworkers and a social media post.

Nashville Recording Mishaps Forgotten Suit Pants: At a black-tie event in Nashville with Fr. Mike Schmitz, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Harrison Butker, David forgot his patterned suit pants, non-replaceable due to the unique design. * Father-in-law Dan O’Brien and Jim Spencer overnighted them via UPS, arriving 45 minutes before recording. * Equipment Failure:* Their recording case’s main power supply cord was severed in transit, requiring significant pivoting. * David predicted the need to “pivot” before the trip, likening their adaptability to NBA players; the weekend involved constant problem-solving but was ultimately fun.

Catholic Radio Station Launch McAlester Station:* David and Adam helped launch 90.9 FM in McAlester, Oklahoma, a full-power Catholic radio station built on a shoestring budget. * Located on parish grounds (no studio costs, using existing internet/power), it reaches McAlester’s community, including three correctional facilities (e.g., “Big Mac” maximum security prison). * Launched on the Feast of the Ascension (moved to Sunday in Tulsa’s mission diocese), aligning with the Great Commission to evangelize. * Aims to evangelize incarcerated individuals without the red tape of prison ministry; David gave a speech post-Mass, nearly upstaged by Adam’s readiness to intervene. * Prayer request for the station’s success.

Eucharistic Procession in Tulsa National Eucharistic Procession Stop: Tulsa hosted a stop in the nationwide procession, attended by 500–800 people (David’s estimate). * Counter-evangelists (not protesters) with megaphones followed the procession, slandering the Church; persistent but civil, they lacked goodwill due to rudeness. * Police (not necessarily Catholic) found them annoying; hosts advise listeners to prepare for similar disruptions at other stops. * Defense of Faith Question: David ponders if modern Christians are too pacifist compared to Crusade-era defense of faith, citing G.K. Chesterton’s The Ball and the Cross* (an atheist’s slander of Mary prompts a Catholic to challenge him to a duel). * Asks Adam if the pendulum has swung too far from defending honor; discussion deferred to post-break.

Second Segment: Defense of Faith and Holy Spirit Introduction Defense of Faith (Continued): * Adam rejects pacifism as un-Christian but also opposes militancy (e.g., raiding abortion clinics); struggles with nuance of defending honor, especially for Our Lady vs. personal family. * Honor culture’s decline reduces cultural awareness of slander’s gravity; suggests a “shortsword” or “backhand glove” metaphorically, emphasizing prudence and charity in response. * No clear answer but encourages pondering the balance between passivity and aggression. * Holy Spirit Topic Introduction:* With Pentecost approaching, David aims to explore the Holy Spirit’s role, often the least discussed Trinity person, using the Catechism. * St. Paul: Can’t say “Jesus is Lord” without the Holy Spirit; knowledge of the Father and Son depends on the Spirit. * Catechism (quoting St. Gregory of Nazianzus): Trinity’s revelation progresses—Old Testament reveals Father, New Testament reveals Son, and now the Spirit dwells among us for clearer vision. * Holy Spirit as “CEO,” executing divine action, though all Trinity persons act together (avoids heresy with disclaimer).

Question on Divine Revelation* Adam notes God’s slow self-revelation (Father in Old Testament, Son over 30 years, Spirit post-Ascension) mirrors Jesus’ gradual revelation, suggesting a model for manhood. * Contrasts with modern “microwave culture” and social media’s demand for instant openness (e.g., sharing deepest secrets), lacking decorum and dignity. * David agrees: Over-sharing is “ennoble”; small, face-to-face communities historically allowed meaningful relationships without forced exposure.

Break 2: Return to Discussion Divine Hiddenness (Continued): * God’s slow revelation was for humanity’s readiness; social media fosters a consumer mentality where people “consume” others’ lives without true relationship. * Example: Atheist Bible scholars know Jesus’ life but lack relationship, unlike personal encounters built over time. * Holy Spirit’s Role:* Through sacraments (e.g., Baptism, Confirmation), the Spirit subtly leads us to the Son, then the Father, reversing the Trinity’s condescension. * Catechism: Holy Spirit is the “oil” anointing the Son, encountered first in meeting Christ; a free gift requiring only acceptance. * Paragraph 1699: “Life in the Holy Spirit fulfills the vocation of man,” often taken for granted.

Break 3: Confession Story David’s Confession Experience:* At the 2025 Oklahoma Catholic Men’s Conference, David confessed to a Lebanese priest he initially judged (due to communication concerns). * Priest’s directness (“This is very bad. You cannot do this”) was refreshing, avoiding excuses; best confession due to tough love. * Penance: Say “Come, Holy Spirit” 12 times throughout the day, not consecutively. * Impact: Noticing the Spirit’s quick response in daily moments led David to habitually invoke the Spirit, enhancing awareness.

Podcast-Exclusive Segment: Fruits of the Holy Spirit Charismatic Movement Hesitation: * Adam admits invoking the Holy Spirit transactionally (in tough situations) rather than relationally, due to mystery and past experiences. * Poor catechesis in the charismatic movement (1960s–1990s), influenced by Protestant culture (e.g., TV preachers), caused confusion; practices like “re-baptism in the Spirit” raise red flags. * Mother Angelica’s experience: Allowed charismatic prayers but later distanced herself, reflecting nuanced concerns. * Adam recognizes intellectual error in dismissing the Spirit (“throwing baby out with bathwater”) but struggles emotionally due to cultural baggage. * Fruits of the Holy Spirit: David shifts to Catechism’s teaching that the moral life is sustained by the Spirit’s gifts (unearned, permanent dispositions for docility). * Fruits (from children’s song): Charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity. * Encourages simple invocations like “Come, Holy Spirit” or the Jesus Prayer to acknowledge the Spirit’s constant work. * Praying in the Spirit:* David references Fr. Mike Schmitz’s mention of “praying in the Spirit” (from Nashville interview), unsure of its meaning vs. regular prayer. * Cites biblical examples (e.g., Simeon/Anna “in the Spirit” at the Presentation); hopes to clarify with Fr. Mike later.

Closing Thoughts Takeaway: Increase awareness of the Holy Spirit through simple prayers (“Come, Holy Spirit”) to fulfill man’s vocation and sustain moral life. * Catechism Recommendation:* Read paragraphs 683–780 for insights into the Holy Spirit’s names and symbols.

Action Items for Listeners Invoke the Holy Spirit: Say “Come, Holy Spirit” in daily moments to increase awareness and docility. * Read Catechism: Explore paragraphs 683–780 on the Holy Spirit’s role, names, and symbols. * Pray Simply: Use short prayers like the Jesus Prayer or “Come, Holy Spirit” for instant connection. * Reflect on Honor: Ponder the balance of defending faith with prudence and charity in modern contexts. * Support McAlester Station:* Pray for 90.9 FM’s success in evangelizing McAlester and its correctional facilities.

Family Adventures, Cattle Auctions, and Catholic Entrepreneurship with Karl Graham Introduction: David and Adam welcome listeners to the 9th anniversary episode of The Catholic Man Show, started in 2016 as a Catholic radio show before becoming a podcast. * Drink Announcement:* Celebrating with Old Rip Van Winkle 10-Year Bourbon, a gift from friend Blake Burger for their 100th episode, sourced again for this milestone.

Main DiscussionFamily Adventures at the Wanamaker Gun Show* Adam shares his family outing to the Wanenmacher Gun Show in Oklahoma, one of the largest in the U.S., with ~10,000-15,000 attendees. * First weekend home in weeks; decided to spend time with family despite cold, rainy weather. * Spent 3 hours exploring ~40% of the massive expo (quarter-mile long). * All kids (except 2-year-old John) got pocket knives; Anna (Adam’s daughter) showed hers off at Mass. * Only one Band-Aid needed (Anna’s finger), considered a "miracle" for 4 pocket knives.

Cattle Auction Experience* Adam recounts taking his 6-year-old son, Leo, to a cattle auction in Checotah, Oklahoma (hometown of Carrie Underwood). * First-time experience; fast-paced, intimidating environment with bids decided in 5-10 seconds. * Auctioneers provide rapid info (weight, heifer/steer, vaccination status) while cows move in and out. * David bought two heifers and accidentally bid on a bull, later corrected to a steer with help from friend Jimmy Ritchie. * Leo loved the action-packed atmosphere, unaware they’d bought cows until Adam explained. * Cows are alive, thriving, and haven’t escaped fences yet.

Farm Life and Pig Processing* David awaits delivery of half a pig (named Chocolate Chip) from friend Juan Posadas, processed by Brandon Sheerd. * Juan sold piglets from David’s heifer; funny story of Juan transporting pigs to a baptism at Christ the King in summer heat. * Excitement for natural bacon cured with salt, free of commercial feed chemicals that affect fat flavor.

Guest Introduction: Karl Graham* Karl, a longtime friend from the Diocese of Tulsa, joins to discuss his journey as a geologist, family man, and Catholic entrepreneur. * Background: Grew up in Tulsa, studied geology in Colorado, returned in 2010, moved to San Antonio (2014), Houston, and back to Tulsa (2017). * Married to Lindsey (nurse); father of six, including twins born in San Antonio. * Professional path: Oil and gas industry (10+ years), MBA from University of Chicago, transitioned to entrepreneurship.

Break 1: Pilgrimage Sponsor Select International Tours:* For 34 years, leading pilgrimages worldwide with top guides and hotels. Visit selectinternationaltours.com for details.

Second Segment: Karl’s Professional Journey Geology Career: Started in oil and gas in Tulsa post-undergrad, worked for a global company with offices in Perth, Cairo, Houston, etc. * Moved to San Antonio for a “skunk works” project; loved the ordinariate parish (Our Lady of the Atonement). * Realized geology wasn’t enough; aimed to become a business executive. * MBA Experience: Attended University of Chicago while working full-time, traveling every other weekend. * Moved from San Antonio to Houston during school; had twins and fourth child; graduated with five kids after moving back to Tulsa. * Industry contracted during this time, closing offices he’d hoped to work in (e.g., Cairo, Perth). * Wake-Up Call:* Realized corporate life diverged from family goals; noticed family members thrived as entrepreneurs in smaller communities. * Left corporate job in Houston (despite stability) to join a small oil and gas startup in Tulsa with colleague Chris (now business partner). * Risky move: Lower salary, invested personal savings, rented home after multiple moves.

Third Segment: Entrepreneurship and Risk Oil and Gas Startup: Joined a 20-person company (down from 3,000 in corporate role). * Wore multiple hats, executed own ideas, gained confidence despite moderate success. * 2020 Challenges: COVID and negative oil prices (-$28/barrel) led to triage mode, layoffs (30 to 11 employees), and weekly vendor payment decisions. * New Venture: Co-founded Luminess Capital (real estate investment firm) with Chris, focusing on self-storage facilities. * Simpler than oil exploration; clear risks and opportunities. * Grew to 16 employees across four continents (U.S., Philippines, Zimbabwe, Panama, El Salvador, Mexico). * Rewarding to offer global team flexible work (e.g., no long commutes); 100% Catholic employees initially (unplanned, due to hiring in Philippines). * Entrepreneurial Mindset:* Bet on skills, create opportunities for others, provide meaningful Christian work environments.

Break 3: Return to Discussion Parish Involvement:* Karl emphasizes using professional skills to serve the local parish, not as a factory but as stewards of resources (money, buildings, beauty). * Example: Volunteering on finance and school councils, proposing longer meetings (1 to 1.5 hours) to solve complex problems. * Encourages men to offer expertise (e.g., landscaping, maintenance) to save funds for higher-impact uses (e.g., Catholic education).

Podcast-Exclusive Segment: Evangelization and Magnanimity Prestige and Humility: Pursuing professional excellence builds a platform for evangelization. * Example: JD Vance’s Catholic faith enhances his credibility as a statesman, inspiring others. * Opus Dei examination of conscience: Are you using professional prestige to spread faith? * Stereotype of poor Christians (e.g., Franciscans) shouldn’t deter success; wealth is a talent to steward, not squander. * Entrepreneurship Benefits: Creates jobs, fosters Christian work environments, offers opportunities (e.g., Good Friday off for Filipino employees). * Parish Engagement Challenges: Men’s clubs often feel like “another meeting”; Karl’s Knights of Columbus experience in San Antonio (casino trip focus) was uninspiring. * Solution: Social organizations should prioritize relationships (like Jesus’ three years with disciples), not formalities. * Example: Invite neighbors to casual parish events (e.g., BBQs) to share life, not just preach. * Stewardship Mindset: Treat parish resources (and personal gifts like homes, bodies) as God’s, fostering buy-in. * Example: Men landscaping parish grounds saves money for education and builds community stake (like past generations who built parishes). * Wichita’s model: Active parishioners get tuition discounts for volunteering time, creating a culture of giving. * Faith and Work:* Kids didn’t shift Karl’s work focus initially (already driven), but now with six kids, he values flexibility to volunteer at school/parish. * Prayer to St. Joseph warns against “vain complacency in success”; Catholics should strive for constant excellence to reflect faith. * If Catholics excelled maximally, employers would seek them out.

Closing Thoughts Encouragement for Men: Don’t shy away from parish involvement; offer specific skills (e.g., “12 guys to solve a problem”) without needing formal workdays. * Example: Karl’s parish has 90+ RCIA candidates; needs space solutions. * Story: RCIA candidate Curtis saw friend Anthony’s Catholic conversion change him, sparking his own journey. * Magnanimity: Use God-given talents for greatness in secular and church life to build the Kingdom. * Final Cheers:* “We’re on the Lord’s team, the winning side. Raise your glass! Cheers to Jesus!”

Action Items for Listeners Parish Involvement: Reach out to your pastor with a specific offer (e.g., “I’ll get 10 guys to landscape the grounds”). * Stewardship: Reflect on how you can use professional skills to serve your parish (e.g., finance, maintenance, education). * Evangelization: Build relationships through social parish events to share your faith naturally. * Magnanimity:* Pursue excellence in your career to reflect Christ and expand your influence for the Kingdom.

Additional Notes 9th Anniversary Context: Show started when podcasts were niche; now over 500 episodes, outlasting most (average podcast stops after 3-5 episodes). * Old Rip Van Winkle: Exceptional bourbon; no alcohol burn, flavorful kick, lingers pleasantly. Shared generously per “festivity” philosophy (per Pieper). * Luminous Capital:* Karl’s real estate firm grew from a self-storage thesis to a global team, emphasizing a Christian work culture. * Catholic Education:** Reference to Bishop Connolly’s pastoral letter on stewardship in Catholic schools (e.g., Wichita’s model).

Episode Overview

Join hosts David Niles and Adam Minahan on The Catholic Man Show as they welcome Dr. Kent Lasnoski, a theology professor and key figure in founding San Damiano College for the Trades. In this lively episode, recorded with David’s godson Luke present for the first time, the trio explores the dignity of work, the role of masculinity in Catholic life, and the interplay of work, leisure, and virtue. From ultimate Frisbee to speculative theology about the Garden of Eden, this episode blends humor, faith, and deep insights into living as a Catholic man.

Key Themes and Discussions

• Masculinity and Feats of Strength: The episode kicks off with a lighthearted recount of an impromptu ultimate Frisbee game, sparking a discussion on how friendly competitions—like stone-throwing or wiffle ball derbies—foster community and allow men to embrace their God-given strength. Dr. Lasnoski highlights how such activities echo the heroic spirit of figures like King David, who boasted of slaying bears and lions.
• The Dignity of Work: Drawing from Genesis and Pope St. John Paul II’s Laborem Exercens, Dr. Lasnoski explains work as a fundamental human vocation to imitate God’s creative act. Work involves earning daily bread, extending dominion over creation, and elevating culture toward God. The subjective element—who performs the work—gives it value, distinguishing human labor from robotic tasks.
• Work Before and After the Fall: The hosts dive into speculative theology, debating whether work existed before the Fall. Dr. Lasnoski argues that Adam’s role to “tend and till” the Garden was work, but without the toil introduced by sin. Post-Fall, work became punitive due to man’s interior disorder, yet it retains a redemptive quality through participation in Christ’s restoration of creation.
• Home as a Place of Production: Dr. Lasnoski challenges the modern view of the home as merely a place of consumption (e.g., entertainment, food). Historically, homes were productive spaces where men and women collaborated in family economies. He encourages Catholics to see the home as a domestic church, fostering virtue and fruitfulness in alignment with God’s plan.
• Work, Leisure, and Contemplation: Referencing Josef Pieper, the discussion distinguishes work (done for extrinsic goods) from leisure (done for its own sake, touching the foundation of reality). Leisure prepares the soul for contemplation and union with God, while a consumerist mindset can hinder true rest. The hosts also explore whether prayer or routine tasks like tying shoes qualify as work.
• Men’s and Women’s Roles in Work: Dr. Lasnoski reflects on the complementary roles of men and women in work, rooted in their biological and spiritual natures. Women’s work often involves nurturing and making a home, while men’s work is more extroverted, pouring themselves out to make creation fruitful, as seen in Genesis and John Paul II’s Theology of the Body.
• Retirement and Multigenerational Living: The modern concept of retirement—focused on leisure without purpose—can lead to a loss of meaning. Dr. Lasnoski advocates for a retirement that continues giving oneself through service, like volunteering or mentoring. He also champions multigenerational households as a gift, fulfilling the biblical call to honor parents and enrich family life.
• San Damiano College for the Trades: Dr. Lasnoski shares the mission of San Damiano College, a three-year program integrating trade skills, a Great Books education, and spiritual formation. Students graduate debt-free by working through the program, learning to live as virtuous men who rebuild the Church through skilled labor and faith.

OverviewIn this episode, David Niles and Adam Minahan sip on Brothers Bond bourbon, celebrate the election of an American pope, and share updates on farming and upcoming interviews in Nashville. The main discussion focuses on the importance of prayer, particularly in moments of temptation, drawing from scripture, saints, and practical advice for building a prayerful life. The hosts also promote their upcoming pilgrimage and Patreon support.

Key Topics1. Celebrating an American Pope American Pope Enthusiasm: The hosts humorously declare “everything is American now” with the election of an American pope, jokingly claiming spaghetti and the Catholic Church as American. * Cultural Shift:* They playfully note the Church is now “more profitable” with an American pope, reflecting their excitement for this historic moment.

1. Personal Updates and Farming Adventures David’s Farming Efforts:* David shares his experience planting 576 kernels of corn (16 rows of 36) without tilling, following a “Back to Eden” approach using wood chips. He discusses challenges with nitrogen depletion in the soil, leading to poor growth, and plans to amend it.
2. Family Teamwork: David describes a rewarding family moment planting with his daughters, using a power drill and raking to plant seeds, fostering teamwork and bonding.
3. Farm Life: Updates include a nearly completed garden fence to keep out rabbits, 41 chickens, and a rooster confrontation. David’s son, Luke, caught his first rabbit, soon to be fried for dinner.

4. Anniversary Trip: David and his wife, Haley, celebrated their 13th anniversary in Mexico, briefly mentioned as a joyful getaway.

5. Upcoming Interviews and Patreon Promotion Nashville Interviews:* The hosts are heading to Nashville to interview Father Mike Schmitz, Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh, Harrison Butker, and possibly Candace Owens, among others. These interviews will be posted first on their Patreon page.

6. Patreon Support: They encourage listeners to support The Catholic Man Show on Patreon to help spread the gospel in a manly way, with exclusive access to upcoming interviews. Visit thecatholicmanshow.com for details.

7. Guest Teaser: The hosts announce an upcoming episode with Dr. Kent Litnoski, who offered insights on living Lent as a married man, with plans for him to return to Tulsa for further discussion.

8. Discussion on Prayer and Temptation Scriptural Foundation:* The hosts focus on Matthew 26:41 (“Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak”), reflecting on Jesus’ Agony in the Garden and the apostles’ failure to stay awake and pray.

9. Theological Importance of Prayer:
10. Union with Christ: Prayer during temptation unites us with Christ, who modeled prayer in distress, revealing man’s supreme calling (Catechism reference).
11. Humility and Dependence: Prayer crushes pride and fosters reliance on God, countering the modern tendency to act independently of Him.
12. Obedience: Jesus’ command to pray in temptation is reason enough to do so.
13. Saints’ Wisdom:
14. St. Alphonsus Liguori: Willfully neglecting prayer for a day is a venial sin, but neglecting it during temptation could be mortal, emphasizing prayer’s gravity.
15. St. John Chrysostom: Prayer is owed to God as a matter of justice, regardless of one’s state in life, with a suggested minimum of 15 minutes daily.
16. Origen and St. Jerome: The apostles’ failure to pray in the Garden shows the need for constant prayer to avoid falling into temptation, as temptation is inevitable but succumbing is not.
17. James Montgomery Poem: “Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath, the Christian’s native air, the watchword of the gates of death, he enters heaven by prayer,” highlighting prayer as essential for salvation.
18. Practical Applications:
19. Breaking the Cycle: Prayer disrupts the “daydream” of temptation, engaging rational faculties to resist sin’s allure.
20. Specific Prayers: Simple prayers like “Jesus, I trust in you,” the Jesus Prayer (“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy on me, a sinner”), “Mary, Mother most pure, pray for me,” and the St. Michael Prayer are highly efficacious during temptation.
21. Change Location: Physically removing oneself from the source of temptation (e.g., leaving a computer or bar) can weaken its pull.
22. Family Prayer: Quoting Fr. Clement Crock, family prayer offers a “holy violence to heaven,” infallibly drawing God’s blessings. The hosts discuss building habits like meal prayers to foster a prayerful family culture.
23. Habit Building: Regular prayer, confession, and examination of conscience build resistance to temptation over time, often unnoticed until reflected upon later.

24. Parenting Insight: A family’s rule allowing teenage sons to go for a run without questions to combat temptation (e.g., sexual) was praised for fostering open communication and practical solutions.

Memorable Quotes* “Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath, the Christian’s native air, the watchword of the gates of death, he enters heaven by prayer.” – James Montgomery * “The union of family prayers offers a holy violence to heaven and, where practiced, infallibly draws down God’s special blessing upon that home and that family.” – Fr.

OverviewIn this lively episode, the hosts express enthusiasm for the election of Pope Leo XIV, share personal stories, including a wedding-crashing adventure in Mexico, and dive into a deep discussion on the virtue of humility, drawing from Father Beleckias' book Solid Virtue. The episode blends humor, personal reflection, and spiritual insights, with a focus on Catholic faith and living a virtuous life.

Key Topics1. Excitement Over Pope Leo XIV New Pope Announcement: The hosts are thrilled about the election of Pope Leo XIV, an American cardinal with a Tulsa connection, having served on the board of Cascia Hall, a Catholic preparatory school in Tulsa. * Historical Context: They discuss Pope Leo XIII, a significant influence (one host named a child after him), and note Leo XIV's choice of name as a nod to this legacy. * Conclave Insights: The quick election (likely on the fourth ballot) suggests strong consensus among the cardinals. The hosts avoid speculating on insider details due to the sacred nature of the conclave. * Fun Facts: Pope Leo XIV is a White Sox fan, not a Cubs fan, as initially reported. The hosts humorously claim him as "basically from Tulsa." * Prophetic Banter:* A playful exchange about predicting the length of Leo XIV’s pontificate (jokingly suggested as 25 years) and his potential holiness.

1. Personal Stories and Anniversary Celebration David’s Anniversary Getaway:* David shares how he and his wife, Haley, celebrated their 13th anniversary with a phone-free weekend in Mexico to focus on their time together.
2. Wedding Crashing in Mexico: David recounts crashing an Indian wedding at a resort in Mexico, joining the groom’s procession with a hype man, music, and dancing. He and Haley briefly joined the celebration before slipping away.

3. Hype Man Discussion: The hosts humorously explore the idea of having a hype man for life events, likening it to a boxer’s ring walk or a DJ hyping up a crowd.

4. Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano Historical Miracle:* David shares the story of a 12th-century Eucharistic miracle in Lanciano, Italy, where a doubting monk witnessed the host turn into flesh and the wine into blood during Mass.

5. Scientific Studies: In 1977, 1978, and 1987, tests confirmed the flesh as living heart tissue and the blood as human, preserved for over 1,200 years.
6. Spiritual Significance: The hosts emphasize the miracle’s importance for reinforcing belief in the Real Presence, while noting that every Mass holds the same ontological reality.

7. Pilgrimage Plans: The hosts invite listeners to join their October 2025 pilgrimage to Lanciano to celebrate Mass in the presence of this miracle.

8. Discussion on Humility Source Material: The hosts draw from Solid Virtue* by Father Beleckias, S.J., to discuss the three degrees of humility.

9. First Degree: Complete obedience to divine law, refusing to commit mortal sin even if offered the world or threatened with danger.
10. Second Degree: Holy indifference to wealth, poverty, honor, or disgrace, refusing even venial sin for worldly gain. The hosts reflect on the challenge of achieving this in a materialistic world.
11. Third Degree: Actively choosing poverty, contempt, and disgrace to imitate Christ’s humility, as exemplified by saints like Francis and Katharine Drexel. The hosts acknowledge the difficulty of this level, especially for family men.
12. Practical Insights:
13. Humility is not thinking less of oneself but thinking rightly about oneself in relation to God and others.
14. Confidence and humility are intertwined, rooted in truth and trust in God’s will.
15. The hosts critique the popular C.S. Lewis quote (“Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less”) as incomplete, emphasizing self-reflection to align with God’s purpose.

16. Application for Listeners: Living in a state of grace, surrounding oneself with virtuous people, and choosing entertainment that aligns with spiritual goals are key to growing in humility.

17. Pilgrimage Promotion Select International Tours:* The hosts promote their upcoming pilgrimage with Select International Tours, a long-time sponsor, encouraging listeners to join them in October 2025 for a Papal audience and Mass in Lanciano.

18. Details: Visit selectinternationaltours.com for more information on the pilgrimage.

19. Whiskey Tasting Drink of the Episode:* The hosts enjoy an 11-year-old Coal Ila whiskey from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society.

20. Tasting Notes: Described as having big smoky notes with a sweet and spicy side. When diluted, it evokes “slurping an oyster with a smoky, zesty, and sweet chili dressing.”
21. Jim’s Rating: 3.89 on the “yummy scale.”

Memorable Quotes “Humility isn’t about not thinking about yourself, but it’s about thinking rightly about yourself.” – David Niles * “What we do in this life echoes in eternity.” – Adam Minahan (paraphrasing Gladiator*) * “You can’t be holy if you’re not humble.” – Adam Minahan

Opening Story: Country Mart in Coweta, America Host shares a humorous experience at the Country Mart grocery store in Coweta, Oklahoma, a beloved local spot with no self-checkout and bag boys who carry groceries to cars. * After Mass, dressed in a suit, the host is mistaken for a preacher by four different people (a passerby, a deli customer, the cashier, and a bag boy). * Jokes about leveraging his "preacher hair" and suit to become the mayor and preacher of Coweta, introducing the concept of "nondenominational Catholic" (a playful term explained as Catholics not being a denomination, derived from Latin de nominae* meaning "other name"). * Reflects on the Christian culture of the store, where such assumptions are a kind gesture.

Coweta Anecdote: Natural Family Planning (NFP) Story* Host recounts a family story about his parents, the first NFP teachers in Oklahoma, teaching the Couple to Couple League’s symptothermal method. * A humorous moment from a class where a participant mispronounced "coitus" as "Coedes," leading to an ongoing family joke about Coweta (pronounced similarly). * Mentions his in-laws’ involvement in promoting NFP classes and their eventual move to Coweta, tying it to the town’s significance.

Listener Question: Plenary Indulgence During Sede Vacante* Listener query: Can a plenary indulgence be received during a sede vacante (when there is no pope), given the condition of praying for the pope’s intentions? * Hosts ponder without definitive answers, suggesting: * Prayer is outside linear time, so praying for the next pope or the recently deceased pope’s soul might satisfy the condition. * Pope Francis’ intentions for the month (published in advance) could still be prayed for. * No prayer is wasted; God applies it appropriately, even if the target (e.g., a soul in hell or heaven) cannot benefit. * Encourage canon lawyers or experts to clarify, acknowledging their limited knowledge on the topic. * Brief mention of Polymarket, a prediction market where bets can be placed on the next pope, highlighting absurd betting trends.

Pilgrimage Promotion* Promotion of Select International Tours, a long-time sponsor offering pilgrimages to holy sites worldwide for 34 years. * Visit selectinternationaltours.com for details on their high-quality tours with excellent hotels and guides.

Clarification from Previous Episode* Correction from a prior episode about papal eligibility: Any baptized Catholic man can theoretically be elected pope, not just clergy. * Hypothetical first act as pope: * One host would set a date for Blessed Carlo Acutis’ canonization, expected to be a priority for the next pope. * Other host jokingly suggests suppressing the Jesuits, quickly clarifying it’s a jest, praising Jesuits like Father Mitch Pacwa and noting their potential as Dominicans.

Main Topic: Time Management for Catholic Dads Introduction and Context: * Host shares a chaotic day (e.g., a cow in the wrong pasture) to humorously underscore the need for time management, the episode’s focus. * Aimed at Catholic dads balancing work, family, and prayer life. * Philosophical Understanding of Time: * Time is a gift from God, not an enemy, akin to grace—available only in the present moment, not to be saved or earned. * Avoid the mindset of “just getting past this weekend” to reach holiness; every moment is an opportunity for sanctity through fulfilling one’s vocation. * Busyness does not equal holiness; faithfulness and resignation to divine providence do. * References a conversation with Dr. Carlo Broussard defining time as “the measurement of change,” emphasizing human agency in shaping incremental changes toward holiness. * Stewardship of Time: * Inspired by St. Louis de Montfort’s feast day and Mary’s fiat, time belongs to God and should be wholly available to His will, not divided into “God’s time” and “personal time.” * Stewardship involves giving 100% of time back to God, not just a portion, mirroring the Trinity’s interplay of love. * Children are the highest form of stewardship; parents form their souls to return them to God. * Practical Time Management Principles: * Act Promptly and Orderly: Inspired by Mary’s haste to visit Elizabeth, act promptly when God’s will is clear. Father James Schall (from The Life of the Mind) states, “Promptness in action flows from love of the good.” Avoid paralysis or using discernment as an excuse for inaction (St. Joan of Arc: “Act, and God will act”). * Guard and Structure Time: Time management is about saying no to lesser goods to say yes to greater ones. Protect time for intellectual and spiritual growth for yourself, your wife, and children. * Routines vs. Flexibility: Routines are crucial but should serve love, not become idols. Flexibility increases as habits form, especially with older children, but deviation without established habits risks chaos. * Calendar as a Reflection of the Soul: Father Schall’s insight: “We do not really believe what we do not live.” A calendar reveals priorities. Examples: * Daily 3 PM alarm for Divine Mercy hour to reorient toward Christ. * Scheduling monthly family confessions to ensure regularity. * Waking up early for prayer and reading, sacrificing comfort for spiritual/intellectual growth. * St. Alphonsus Liguori’s 12 Steps of Holiness: Focus on one virtue per month (e.g., mercy in April) to build family habits. Articulate and reinforce the virtue in daily interactions (e.g., emphasizing forgiveness during sibling disputes). * Well-Ordered Family: Suggests setting yearly, monthly, and weekly family goals with family meetings to track progress. Caution against overly businesslike approaches to avoid utilitarian family dynamics. * Balancing Business Principles and Family: * Critique of equating business culture with family (e.g., “we’re a family” in workplaces is utilitarian, as employees can be fired, unlike family). * Distinction: Applying business tools (e.g., goal-setting) to family is valid if ordered toward charity and disinterested service, not utilitarian ends. Every family member has a duty to serve others selflessly (per John Paul II and the Catechism). * Incremental Change for Holiness: * Holiness requires incremental changes, not instant sainthood (e.g., can’t bench press 500 pounds without training or become St. Francis overnight). * Reference to Solid Virtue* (prior episode): Focus on amending faults in small, daily increments (e.g., half-day resolutions) rather than lifelong commitments to avoid overwhelm.

Practical Tips for Catholic Dads Prioritize Spiritual and Intellectual Time: Block off time for prayer and reading, even if it means sacrifices (e.g., earlier wake-ups, shorter lunches). * Set Family Virtue Goals: Adopt St. Alphonsus Liguori’s model to focus on one virtue monthly, reinforcing it in family language and actions. * Use a Calendar: Schedule critical spiritual activities (e.g., confession, prayer) to ensure they aren’t neglected. * Establish Routines with Flexibility: Build habits early, especially for prayer, but allow prudent flexibility as children grow and habits solidify. * Avoid Busyness as a Holiness Metric: Focus on faithfulness and love, not task volume. * Act Promptly*: When God’s will is clear, act without delay, trusting He will guide.

Drink of the Episode Glentauchers 8-Year-Old Scotch* (Scotch Malt Whisky Society, “Smokehouse on the Beach”) * From the Campbeltown region, with a coastal, briny flavor, blending Islay and Highland characteristics.

Closing* Invitation to join the hosts’ October pilgrimage to Assisi, Italy, to see Blessed Carlo Acutis, St. Francis, and St. Clare (incorrupt saints). Assisi is a highlight, with two days planned for a deeper experience. * Dedication of the episode to the hosts’ wives, Pamela and Hailey. * Cheers to Jesus!

Remembering Pope Francis* Hosts reflect on Pope Francis' passing: * Personal memory: Pope Francis kissing one host's daughter in 2015. * Notable moments: His global benediction during COVID and the phrase "shepherds need to smell like sheep." * Speculation about the timeline for electing a new pope, with a nod to historical conclave delays.

Eucharistic Miracle Story Story of Father Peter of Prague, a 13th-century German priest who doubted the Real Presence. * During Mass in Bolsena, Italy, the host bled, leading to the establishment of the Feast of Corpus Christi by Pope Urban IV. * St. Thomas Aquinas composed hymns like Tantum Ergo and Pange Lingua* for the feast. * The miraculous host is preserved in Orvieto, which the hosts will visit on their October pilgrimage with listeners.

Spiritual Insights from Solid Virtue by Father Balakius Discussion of Solid Virtue by Jesuit priest Father Balakius, published by Coresu Press. * Recollection: * Defined as watchfulness and awareness of God's presence, akin to an "earthly heaven." * Benefits: Prevents sin, reduces weariness, and fosters joy in God's love. * Three sources: solitude, silence, and avoiding news (to curb curiosity and anxiety). * Particular Examine: * Focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of faults, not just external behaviors. * Analogous to treating the cause of a disease, not just symptoms. * Requires self-knowledge, possibly aided by friends, a spouse, or spiritual direction. * After correcting major faults, shift to perfecting daily actions and cultivating virtues. * Spiritual Warfare*: * Involves a firm resolution to amend faults, renewed twice daily (morning and noon). * Resolutions should be short-term (half-day increments) to avoid discouragement. * Twice-daily examination of conscience (noon and evening) to track progress. * Keep a log of faults to compare daily and weekly progress, ensuring empirical improvement.

Practical Applications* Hosts emphasize the practicality of Balakius' advice, comparing it to business strategies like tracking KPIs. * Encouragement to stay focused on one vice or virtue at a time, similar to St. Alphonsus Liguori’s 12 Steps of Holiness. * Modern distractions (e.g., smartphones, social media) hinder recollection and willpower, making these practices challenging but essential.

Personal Reflections* A host shares a poignant moment with his son, illustrating the power of undistracted presence as a form of adoration. * Discussion about the struggle to focus on one task at a time, even when the task is good (e.g., mowing the yard vs. listening to audiobooks). * The monastic principle of dedicating fully to the present task as God’s will.

Closing Invitation to join the hosts on their October pilgrimage to Rome, highlighting ideal weather and Eucharistic miracle sites. * Recommendation to check out Solid Virtue* and other Coresu Press publications. * Cheers to Jesus!

Sister Mary Michael joins us for a conversation on Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, 12 steps, and our Mission.Summary: In this episode, we welcome back Sister Mary Michael, a seasoned Dominican Sister from the Saint Cecilia community in Nashville, to Oklahoma for a heartfelt conversation. With over 35 years as a religious sister, she shares her passion for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, her work with Franciscan University, and her unique ministry with men in recovery. At a recent men’s conference, she introduced the power of the 12 Steps—rooted in Alcoholics Anonymous but universally applicable—as a practical path to freedom from destructive habits, paired with insights from Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Sister Mary Michael’s warmth, humor, and wisdom shine as she encourages men to embrace their God-given mission and reorder their lives with grace.

Key Topics: - Who She Is: A Dominican Sister with a doctorate in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Sister Mary Michael works with four-year-olds on Fridays, teaches at Franciscan University’s Catechetical Institute, and speaks at men’s conferences.

• Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: A Montessori-inspired, Hebraic approach to children’s faith formation, rooted in the pedagogy of God and the Church’s heart. She’s written a book on it and sees it as a growing movement (highlighted in the 2020 Directory for Catechesis).

• Men in Recovery: Inspired by landscaping help from men in recovery, she’s taken their stories on the road, blending the 12 Steps with Ignatian spirituality to address universal patterns of behavior—addictions big and small.

• The 12 Steps: Sister explores their accessibility and power, starting with Step 1: admitting powerlessness over habits (e.g., anger, control, manipulation) and unmanageability in life. She connects this to grace and personal transformation.

• Universal Application: From vanity to strong opinions, we’re all “recovering sinners.” The 12 Steps offer a fearless moral inventory (Step 4) and accountability (Step 5), helping anyone break free from vices.

• Grace and Nature: The steps align with the Church’s heritage—practical like the 12 Steps or spiritual like Ignatius—showing how grace perfects our disordered nature.

• Men’s Mission: She challenges men to reject Satan’s distortions, embrace their masculine genius, and take action to live out God’s purpose.

Quotable Moments:- “Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori Hebraic approach—it’s how God brings people to Himself.”

• “I’m powerless over this, and my life’s unmanageable—that’s a grace right there.”

• “I’m not taking that drink of criticism or gossip—it’s a shot of vodka to my soul.”

• “God’s got a beautiful mission for you, and Satan’s not gonna leave you alone—so it’s time to do something about it.”

Resources Mentioned: - Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: Learn more about this movement online or through Sister’s book.

• The 12 Steps: Google them—read through and reflect on what challenges you.

• Ignatian Spirituality: Explore how it aligns with the 12 Steps for deeper growth.

Closing Thoughts: Sister Mary Michael’s eclectic life—from teaching kids to guiding men—offers a fresh take on recovery and holiness. Her practical, grace-filled approach makes this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking freedom and purpose. Thanks for joining us, Sister—God bless!

In this episode, we interview Tim Carney, a father, husband, and political reporter.Summary:

In this episode, we sit down with Tim Carney, a political reporter, think tank fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and author based in Washington, D.C. Tim, a Catholic father of six, shares his unique perspective on raising a family in the nation's capital, challenging the stereotype of D.C. as a "moral wasteland." He discusses his latest book, Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be, and dives into topics like the declining U.S. birth rate, the importance of culture in politics, and practical ways to support families—from walkable neighborhoods to tax policies. Tim also reflects on the role of fatherhood, the need for cultural shifts, and why he believes having more kids (four or more!) can actually make life easier.

Key Topics:

• Life in D.C.: Tim debunks myths about Washington, D.C., highlighting its strong Catholic community, great schools, and notable figures like Justice Clarence Thomas attending Mass.
• Writing & Work: As a political commentator, Tim has authored books on lobbying and corporate welfare, but his recent focus is on family and community—arguing that babies and strong families are vital to society.
• Culture Matters: At AEI, Tim works in the new Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies department, emphasizing how marriage, kids, and human values shape politics and the economy—despite resistance from D.C.’s policy-focused elite.
• Low Birth Rates: Tim addresses America’s falling fertility rate (1.62 babies per woman) and the growing political awareness of this issue, citing figures like JD Vance pushing for a pro-family agenda.
• Policy Ideas: From local walkability for kids to federal child tax credits, Tim explores how government can support families without overreach, drawing examples from Hungary and France.
• Fatherhood: He advocates for culturally elevating fatherhood as distinct from motherhood, encouraging dads to prioritize family over work and set an example in their communities.
• Favorite Article: Tim shares the success of his Washington Post piece, “The Ideal Number of Children in a Family: Four at a Minimum,” which sparked debate and highlighted the benefits of larger families.

Quotable Moments:

• “Babies are a good thing. Life is good.”
• “If you want fecundity in the sheets, you need walkability in the streets.”
• “Childhood anxiety is mostly about kids growing up without unsupervised play. Parental stress is this false belief that you control them.”

Where to Find Tim:

• Book: Family Unfriendly – Available on Amazon or your local bookstore (if you convince them to stock it!).
• X: @TPCarney

Closing Thoughts:

Tim’s blend of humor, policy insight, and pro-family passion makes this a must-listen for anyone interested in culture, parenting, or the future of American society.

In this episode, we sit down with speakers Ennie Hickman and Paul George to unpack the themes of risk, faith, and mentorship.From Ennie’s grand-slam opening talk to Paul’s reflections on mentorship, this discussion dives deep into what it means to live a risky, faith-filled life as a man today.

Highlights: Ennie’s Home Run Start (00:11): Ennie Hickman kicks off the conference with a powerful talk that surprises everyone—described as a “grand slam” after setting expectations low with a “bunt.” We explore his rhetorical flair and the humor that had the crowd laughing, even if it took a moment to sink in. * The Abraham Joke (01:25): Ennie breaks down his viral moment—a hilarious yet profound take on Abraham’s obedience to God, from circumcision to the sacrifice of Isaac. It’s a wild reminder of the risks faith demands. * Risky Faith (02:22): Paul George and Ennie reflect on the moments in life where God calls us to step out—like marriage, trusting God’s plan, or simply saying “yes” when it feels insane. Living faith, they argue, should always involve risk. * Mentorship Matters (04:10): The conversation turns to the crisis of young men unwilling to take risks. Paul shares how mentors—like he was for Ennie—pushed him to grow, even calling him out on a landline in college about smoking weed. The group debates: Are young men missing mentors, or are they missing the willingness to listen? * Dopamine vs. Pursuit (06:54): Ennie and Paul discuss how modern distractions—gaming, phones, instant gratification—are keeping young men from chasing real goods, like relationships or purpose. * Trust and Friendship (07:54): The key to mentorship? Trust. Ennie recalls how Paul’s persistent friendship gave him the courage to make hard choices, proving love and accountability go hand in hand. * Raising Sons with Community (08:33):* The group explores the power of men modeling faith and camaraderie for the next generation. From organizations like Fraternus to everyday “Uncle David” moments, it’s about inviting sons into the good life alongside trusted men.

Key Takeaway:Faith isn’t safe—it’s risky. Whether it’s Abraham chopping off a bit of himself or a mentor calling you out on a landline, the path to manhood demands courage, trust, and a willingness to swing for the fences.

Guests: Ennie Hickman:* Conference speaker and master of the well-timed Abraham joke. * Paul George**: Mentor, speaker, and the guy who won’t stop calling until you step up.

4. Confess without amendment
5. Receives communion without devotion and fruit
6. Perform their daily actions without a proper intention, without method or order
7. Being intent on exterior things, give less their thoughts to God
8. Content with mediocrity
9. Neglect the pursuit of a higher virtue
10. Avoid those who aim at perfection and eagerly seek the company of those who lead a life of greater laxity
11. Who form a conscience of their own, by false principles

Dangers that invariably accompany tepidity

1. Falling into mortal sin. The tepid live in a state of continual imperfection, commit venial sins without remorse, and but seldom consider the malice of sin, and the motives which should prompt them to refrain from the commission thereof.
2. That a tepid soul is on the point of being casts away, with disguise, by the Almighty God.
3. Lukewarmness
4. The Risk of not dying a pious death.

Remedies to banish tepidity:

It is very hard to cure tepidity. The greatest sinners are often awakened from their death slumber by merely looking upon the crucifix and reflecting upon the Last Judgement.

1. A fervent meditation to be performed every morning
2. Pious and attentive spiritual reading every day
3. A daily examination of conscience joined with the particular examen
4. A short recollection, for at least half an hour every month

If you think you may be too weak to withstand the manliness represented in the following program, please do yourself a favor and stop listening now. If you choose to continue in spite of this warning, If at any time you feel yourself overcome by the manliness, stop immediately and consult your closest medical professional.And now, for the not so fair, faint, or frilly, [00:02:00] we present The Catholic Men's Show.Adam Minihan: Welcome to the Catholic Man Show. Alleluia. I said it. I said it. Alleluia. It was a long time coming. We're on the Lord's team, the winning side. So raise your glass. Adam and Anne here with Sir David Niles. We also have a good friend, fellow priest of the Diocese of Tulsa in Eastern Oklahoma. And of God.And of God. Also a brother in law to David David Niles: Niles. In the order of Malchizedek. Adam Minihan: Also a, a good friend of ours all the way from kindergarten as David Niles: well. It's kindergarten class reunion Fr. Sean O'Brien: right here. It's a few years ago, that's David Niles: it. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, just a handful. Adam Minihan: Father Sean O'Brien. [00:03:00] Great to have you Fr. Sean O'Brien: here. Good to be here.Adam Minihan: We also have Jim here. Jim. Jim, it's been, it's been a long 40 days. David Niles: We'll see what Jim is back. Yeah, we'll see how you rate the yummy skill today. I'm not sure, I'm not sure what your rating is gonna be. I'm interested to tell, to Fr. Sean O'Brien: hear. Today. But he is here with his strength. I feel very secure. Yes. I am sitting David Niles: next to him.I feel like our whole conversation is gonna be like Adam Minihan: more at ease. Yeah, we were pretty People uptight the last 40 Fr. Sean O'Brien: days. You just never know. People can break through the door. Not sure. Totally. And that's gonna be okay David Niles: if they do. I mean, if they do now. Oh yeah. If they do now, yeah. Yeah. You get what you, you get what you, you sow what you reap.It's their own fault. No. You reap what you sow, Anna. Yeah. Although, ironically, you also do sow what you reap because those are the seeds that you have. Unless you buy the Adam Minihan: seeds. Unless you do that. We have entered into a new season, a new liturgical season. The best. The best season. I've also entered into a new stage of fatherhood.Oh. I have now entered into [00:04:00] the stage of fatherhood of Did you turn out the lights, David Niles: fatherhood? Adam Minihan: Yes. One that I never thought I would, I would get to, because I just did not think that was gonna be, that was gonna be me. Mm hmm. My, my dad did it all the time. Yeah. I did not think it was that big of a deal growing up.I did not think that it was something, you know, Really to, to, like, be concerned about. It's like three cents for the light to be on. David Niles: Especially now with Fr. Sean O'Brien: LEDs. So are you feeling, are there more lights being left on? Yes. Is the electricity the issue? Is it? Oh, Adam Minihan: that's not it. It's not, no, it's just like It's the principle of the thing.Right. It's about having order and, like, having responsibility in Fr. Sean O'Brien: the home. We're conservatives here. We will conserve David Niles: electricity. That's right. We don't leave the water running in the sink. That's right. When you're not Adam Minihan: there, don't leave the light on. I just did not realize that I was going to come to this.To this level of fatherhood, but here I am. David Niles: Congratulations to you. Yeah, I've also been at this level. For a while. And it's very weird. You know, and it [00:05:00] sneaks up on you. Turn off the lights! A little bit. It does. It's not like one day You just decide. You put on a new pair of pants and then you're, you know, that kind of dad.You just kind of realize, at some point, you hear words coming out of your Adam Minihan: mouth and you say, I haven't heard those words for 20 some odd years. And it was from my David Niles: father. Right. Right. Like, Obi Wan Kenobi. It's like, that's a name I have not heard in a long time. Yeah, which is very weird. Well, congratulations.Thank Adam Minihan: you. It's really good about it. Yeah, it's a true father. All right We're having this this evening Penelope straight rye whiskey toasted Barrel finished which I'm not sure what kind of finish David Niles: What's the finish Fr. Sean O'Brien: barrel? It was I Adam Minihan: think actually metal all Yeah, all whiskeys are barrel David Niles: finished. I don't yeah and barrel started and barrel Adam Minihan: middled.Yeah but they do, oh, so here's, here's what it is. They, they finish the straight [00:06:00] rye whiskey in a new freshly toasted barrel. Okay. So like it's a toasted barrel finish. That's what it's not. David Niles: Oh, it does say toasted. It's not toasted barrel finish. It's Adam Minihan: toasted David Niles: barrel finish. That is confusing because it's a different size.The word toasted, different line, different size, Adam Minihan: different color. So, 100 proof. It's a rye whiskey, so it's gonna have a little bit of bite, a little bit of sting to it. Hopefully. We're on the Lord's team. David Niles: The winning side. So raise your glass. Cheers. Adam Minihan: Cheers to Jesus. Cheers. Cheers. To the, to the risen Fr. Sean O'Brien: Christ.And to my goddaughter whose name is Penelope. One of mine. Ooh hmm. Cheers to her. Adam Minihan: Shout out to Penelope. Jim, what do you think? David Niles: Do you need some time before you, do you need some time before you come up with a yummy Adam Minihan: scale? Okay. He's just so, I mean, he is probably a little rusty. David Niles: I mean, Adam Minihan: when you look at him, his palate is probably a, like, needs to get back acclimated too.Yeah. David Niles: We'll let you, [00:07:00] we'll give, we'll give you give, we'll give you a minute or two, Jim, Adam Minihan: we'll, we'll catch you on, on, on the flip side, David Niles: I'm not a rye guy. I mean, I just don't drink it very often. Mm-Hmm. . It's not my preference and this is kind of, yep. It's a rye. I don't have a lot to say about it because I think it's probably good as, Fr. Sean O'Brien: as rye go.How do you describe that rye flavor? I feel like there's like a low flavor, I don't know how to describe it. Is it that lowness Adam Minihan: there that I'm, yeah, it's a, it's the, it's a little bit of that burn that, that strength at the very end, that catch that you catch. Also has, because it is toasted, you can almost like.Smell like burnt marshmallows. How do you toast whiskey? You toast the barrel. You put the barrel on the fire? Like the inside is all David Niles: charred. Yeah, sometimes they'll have a barrel. Upside down on a conveyor belt and then they have like the biggest flamethrower you've ever seen and they just char it for like 15 seconds and Like they let they let it have it.Fr. Sean O'Brien: Mm hmm. Take that [00:08:00] whiskey. You're gonna be toast Adam Minihan: Yeah Now father Sean you are the pastor of three Fr. Sean O'Brien: parishes three parishes in two counties in two different counties The floor County has County Poto Spiro and Stigler of the towns And I'm also the pastor of every town in between. David Niles: That's true. Even though there's no church.You know what? That is interesting. What makes it interesting? I just wouldn't have thought about Adam Minihan: Can you be a pastor without the Do you have to have a church to be considered a pastor? You, Fr. Sean O'Brien: Oh, that's a good question. I never thought about that. You would have to have a territory at least. David Niles: Right, yeah, so Fr. Sean O'Brien: it like puts it in your And I would assume that you need a location to celebrate the sacraments so that would be the parish.David Niles: Yeah. I have never thought about, oh, being the pastor of a place where there's no church, but Missionary, you know? Yeah, but it makes, it does make sense that, hey, this is your Fr. Sean O'Brien: territory. At least a territory. Adam Minihan: Yeah, it's [00:09:00] your territory. I've always understood it to be like that you're the spiritual father of all of those, like you're, you're, you're in charge of those souls that are in your quote unquote territory.You know, it's not, it's just like here in Broken Arrow, we have Saint Benedict, But Father Brian Brooks is in charge of more than just the people who go into Yeah. St. Benedict. Walk through the David Niles: doors. Actually, because whether you're Catholic or not. Right. He's got their soul. Yeah. So you have like the O'Brien triangle between your three parishes.Fr. Sean O'Brien: You can describe it as David Niles: that way. Yeah. As you wish. That's how I like to, I like to, starting Fr. Sean O'Brien: right now, I like to say walk into this triangle. You're toast. You're Catholic. This David Niles: is Fr. Sean O'Brien: You're like this whiskey. Game over. You're toasted. You're toasted. Flamethrower of grace upon your soul. Love it. Sacred heart burning you Adam Minihan: up.And you, you've been there for how many Fr. Sean O'Brien: years now? Going on completing three years. So two and almost three years. This is my third Adam Minihan: year. Okay, and before that you Fr. Sean O'Brien: were I was an [00:10:00] associate pastor here in Tulsa, at two different parishes, three here also in Broken Arrow, but at the other church, not y'all's place, St.Anne's, and then one year at the church we call St. Pius. Mm hmm. That's where I got my Spanish feet underneath me. Nice. Not very well. The people suffered my Spanish, but they suffered it with grace. David Niles: Your Spanish Fr. Sean O'Brien: now is pretty good, though. It's, it's good. I'm just thankful. Yeah, I do Adam Minihan: it well, but so this is your first like, Fr. Sean O'Brien: Pastor assignment?First pastorate. Yeah. I'm the first I'm the pastor. Nice. David Niles: Yeah. And you are, how many years a priest? Fr. Sean O'Brien: Eight. Think seven plus, I think this is almost eight then. Yeah. Yeah. About ready to complete eight years. Praise God. Praise love it. I love it. Yeah. This is David Niles: the best eight best. That's, that's a, that's a big year.It's like, is it? Well, you know, there's like the seven, eight year. Seven eight is like. A good number. It's the, cause it's the days of creation plus one. Okay, I buy that. You know, like, sometimes in churches you'll see eight. Like eight pointed [00:11:00] stars. Baptismal, baptismal font

If you think you may be too weak to withstand the manliness represented in the following program, please do yourself a favor and stop listening now. If you choose to continue in spite of this warning, If at any time you feel yourself overcome by the manliness, stop immediately and consult your closest medical professional.And now, for the not so fair, faint, or frilly, we present the Catholic Men's Show.Adam Minihan: Welcome to the Catholic man show. We're on the Lord's team, the winning side. I David Niles: was Adam Minihan: trying to figure out like how to [00:01:00] say, have a good holy week. You know the people? In Latin? No, just like in English. David Niles: You should ask Google Translate. Yeah, Adam Minihan: because that always works. Yeah, it's been, it's hit home runs for us every time we've done that.So many times. But I was like, you know, have an efficacious Holy Week. No, that doesn't, like, that isn't right. Like, have an intense Holy Week. I don't, I don't know, like, may you suffer well, David Niles: like, maybe a I mean, it sounds like the question you're asking really is, like, I have wondered the same thing about Lent.Yeah, you know because it's kind of the same thing. Yeah, like but specifically Adam Minihan: for a holy week huh, right as we're entering into the holiest week of the year David Niles: I mean it's like but it's really a question of a distinction of degrees not kind, right? In what you're like because if it was true about Lent, it's definitely true now.Yes, right And so I used to say I used to say something I think I used to say like maybe it was efficacious and efficacious Lent to you Adam Minihan: But like that just doesn't hit, you know, it's like, I don't know, like have an intensely prayerful whole [00:02:00] week. It was like for a David Niles: while. It's like, this is years ago. It's like kind of down with the happy Lent, have a happy, happy Lent.And you know, I hope you do have a happy Lent, but that's not like the thing I want to wish you. About Lent. Like, to me, like, the thing that is essential to Lent isn't that it's happy. It's happiness. Yeah. Right. You know, sort of like Easter would It's not, it's not, Lent's Adam Minihan: charism, so to speak. David Niles: Right, exactly.Yeah, it's not it's charism. That's exactly right. Whereas Easter, on the other hand, is like Joyful! Joyous! Yeah, like so, well, but, if I can remember it before the end of the episode, I will You'll, and I will just Cut us off. Stop, absolutely halt whatever it is we're saying about, saying at the time.Perfect. And just Throw it in. Yeah. And we'll see. Okay. And then we can carry on. Adam Minihan: I'm very excited to enter into the Easter season. Dude, me too. I cannot wait. It's gonna be so awesome. The beautiful thing about fasting is that you get to feast. You know, there's, there's seasons of feasting. Yeah. And if you fast well, you get to feast [00:03:00] well.You know, like, feasting, like, It means more. David Niles: Yeah, and it's great that we have, I think Palm Sunday is just, you know, the Church's liturgical calendar is a work of art, I think. We're in the middle of, you know, at the middle of Lent, towards the end of Lent, now entering into the most penitential week of the year, but we have Palm Sunday first, which is like the celebration of Jesus entering tri, you know, triumphantly into Jerusalem, you know, to, like, this is a, this is a Sunday to really feast.Amidst all Sundays, as we celebrate Christ's triumphant you know, like, entrance into Jerusalem. Yeah. It's like a, a real victory. It's a, a day of victory. So, and that's a beautiful thing to have right here before we go into the most penitential week of the year. Yeah. Adam Minihan: Yeah. Well, when we commit deicide, [00:04:00] David Niles: which is bad.It's bad. It's a bad It's one of our Well, it's not good, Adam. Adam Minihan: It's one of the ugliest marks for David Niles: humankind. Well, let's see how it works out for him, Cotton. Adam Minihan: Oh, man. Okay, so hey, we are Bold strategy. Bold strategy, yeah, but it turns out it, it was David Niles: It's, it seemed like a bad, it seemed like a fail, and then it turned out to be a pretty, you know, like, I imagine that's how it was for Satan.Don't you think that Satan thought, like, as he watched Christ hanging on the cross, don't you think he thought he was winning, or something? I imagine that that was a Yeah, probably some Like a big bait and switch. On the devil. Yeah, you know like when all of a sudden he realized what he's back. I was like rooting for him like I, you know, like, deceived one of his own apostles, his, like, inner circle, into betraying him [00:05:00] and getting him killed.And now Only to realize, that's what's the, that, you know, like, AGH! Adam Minihan: Now the gates of heaven are all open. Right, yeah, it's like, that's a big backfire. That is, yeah. So this evening, you know what's not a big backfire, is this whiskey we're having this evening. It's so good. Wyoming whiskey, we've had Wyoming whiskey on the show several times, this is the double cask.I gotta tell you, my dad actually asked me, he was going to a friend's house not too long ago, and he said, hey, what's a good bourbon that's not very expensive to bring over to their house? And I said, listen, and we get this question a lot from people, they email us or text us or something like that, asking us, hey, what's a bourbon?Here's my go tos, okay? So for bourbons, If you can find Wyoming whiskey, David Niles: that's the, that's the win. Hard to find here in Oklahoma, a little bit. It, you can, you, you can find it, but. It's, it's cheap, you know, it's. So what was this, like 35, maybe 40 bucks? Yeah, it's under 40 for sure. Yeah, and this is the double cask.Right. The, the regular is even [00:06:00] cheaper. And it's so Adam Minihan: smooth. And it's so good. Yeah, so my dad couldn't find Wyoming whiskey. Cause it's hard to find, like you mentioned. Yeah, David Niles: in other states, the closer you get to Wyoming. If you're in Wyoming, this is at every grocery store, it's at every liquor store, and it's like 30 bucks.Yeah. It's really cheap. Adam Minihan: So I told them like, Wyoming whiskey is a good one. 1792, I really like. Yeah. It's one that has a great presentation bottle. It's a cheaper whiskey. The whiskey is good. It's smooth. It doesn't have a harsh bite. It's not, it's not David Niles: like, uberly complex. Right. But it's, but it's good.It's a easy drinking. Right. Yeah. Not going to offend anybody. Everyone's going to enjoy it and have a good time. Buffalo Trace is Adam Minihan: another one. Eagle Rare is another one. You know, there's, there's several. Anyway, it was really funny because he got there, he brought 1792. He got there, somebody else had brought a Wyoming whiskey, and so he had a chance to try both.Huh. And he said, he really liked the 1792, but he said, the Wyoming whiskey was just so smooth. Yeah. And so David Niles: It [00:07:00] really is, and everything I've had from them is all good. Yeah. Every single Adam Minihan: thing. This one is, so again, double cask, it's a straight bourbon whiskey finished in sherry casks, so it has a little sweetness at the end there, which is nice because it's you know 50 percent ABV.The whiskey gets its color and character from the cask in which it ages and matures. This double cask whiskey goes through the process twice. The first five years in the barrel makes it a bourbon. The sherry cask adds a nice touch of sweetness and brings out the best in the spirit to deliver superior smoothness and drinkability.You can drink it on ice with twist. And anything nice. David Niles: You know, okay. That is another thing I don't, I'm not a ice in my whiskey guy. But if you have every now and then you want to make a drink and if you, all you have are nice scotches and expensive bourbons. You're not going to want to make, well you might make an old fashioned out of a nice, a nice [00:08:00] bourbon, but this is a whiskey that I'm not afraid to, oh yeah, like, mix in a drink, because it just, it doesn't cost very much, right, so like sure, whatever, even though I'm I always drink it neat and straight, like a man.It's so good. Adam Minihan: So we're on the Lord's team. The winning side. David Niles: So raise your glass. Cheers to Jesus. Cheers. And the last thing I'll say about Wyoming whiskey is it's just kind of a cool story. It's not like a story of ancient tradition, like every single whiskey distiller tries to present themselves.Right. Basically it's all made in this tiny town in Wyoming. And I think they Yeah, I think they employ like Almost the entire town, like almost everybody there because it's a, it's a small town. distillery. And so it really is become like a local, you know, everybody's really proud of the product that they make there.Yeah. You just like to see that. Yeah. Adam Minihan: Big news for the, [00:09:00] the David ranch, the Niles ranch. We have David Niles: chicks. Yes. Just yesterday and today they started hatching. There are still four eggs that The broody hen is sitting on. We'll see if they hatch. Okay. It's been exciting. Yeah. You know, between having piglets and now baby chicks I did want to ask for prayers because I, if I can borrow a trailer, if, If my buddy Robert who is a loyal, he's your, we're, our buddy Robert, one of the best guys, I mean, really, and he also has a nice trailer that he lets me borrow anytime I want, and I just text him this evening, like, hey, can I borrow your trailer tomorrow, and I haven't heard back from him yet, but the Cattle Auction is tomorrow, okay, and if you guys remember the story about the last time I went to the Cattle Auction, the hilarious debacle, yes, I'm about trying to, trying to buy, I don't know what you call [00:10:00] it.Deformed is maybe the best, the most, the politest word I can think of to describe this cow. But it's really cheap, right? So, I just would like prayers that I don't humiliate myself again. Adam Minihan: Or, That you do for the sake of your David Niles: humility. And if I do, if I do humiliate myself, that I get a lot of traction out of it.You know, that I, that I really, really lean into it, and like it makes a big difference in my life. And just appreciate it. Yeah, that it's like something that really, Helps me grow. to God. Yeah, exactly, and isn't wasted as just a humiliating moment in a funny story. I'm Adam Minihan: okay with either. Yeah. So for the Minnehands, we we just had our first flag football scrimmage this week.All right. I'm the coach. In a league? Yeah, we're in league. Okay. I'm the head coach. Our good friend, Blake Berger, is the assistant coach. [00:11:00] Good. We have a lot of work to do. Yeah, we have a lot of work to do. The plays in which we drew it, so I got pretty intense, maybe a little too intense some would say.Okay. Drew up a lot of plays. All the kids had wristbands. Plays were on the wristbands. Holding them up. Telling them like colors. We hadn't practiced yet. The first scrimmage was like the practice. So there was some frustration on my part. Yeah. Cause David Niles: it's Forgot to go over like positions. Adam Minihan: Yeah. Yeah. They didn't Oh yeah.No, it's just defense. Yeah. So we're gonna work through that. But, it should be, it should be a fun year. David Niles: Awesome. Do you feel like God is calling you to go on a pilgrimage? Yes. Well, for the last 34 years, Select International Tours has been leading pilgrimages to holy sites all over Adam Minihan: the world.

100 years ago, if you were talking about teenagers, no one would know what you were talking about. What are the ramifications of creating this new category in society and in the Church?When teenagers were revoked from the adults category, there were isolated into their own classification. Not grouped with adults meant they were able in many ways to continue the way of life they knew for their whole existence but with more bodily maturity too.

Here are a few points of discussion:* 2 age categories for all of time: Adults and Children * Culture of the 1960's and 1970's * Youth culture over adult culture * God and the faith are "ever ancient and ever new" not forever young * What are the effects of this in youth ministry? * Maturity is restrained and unfree, bound to God and the crosses He sends and the people He binds us to. True freedom is not youthful unattachment, but the loss of the types of freedoms the world pursues

AQUINAS ON THE EUCHARIST QUESTION 73 INTRODUCTION Hey patreons of the Catholic Man Show, Karlo Broussard here. I’d like to welcome you to this course on Aquinas and the Eucharist where we’ll be looking at what Aquinas says about the Eucharist in his Summa Theologiae, tertia pars, questions 73-83.I’d like to thank Adam and David for this opportunity to share the course with you, which is a token of their appreciation for your support of the show—a support that I would strongly encourage you to continue in.I think you’re going to enjoy going through this course on the Eucharist because Aquinas has some great things to say about it. And, of course, it’s always to geek out on this stuff. I hope that you have as much fun as I will have teaching it.Aquinas divides his treatment of the Eucharist into seven major themes or aspects of the Sacrament and treats each with one or several different “Questions,” which are basically further subpoints to make about those major aspects. And each of these Questions are further divided into articles, or what Aquinas calls, “points of inquiry.”Each of the lessons for this course will ordinarily deal with a single question. But there will be times when we have to divide a question into two lessons in order to do justice to it. For example, Question 75 is so packed and dense that we’ll need two lessons to do it justice.The methodology that I’ll use is simpe: read the text and offer commentary as we go. Some things can be received upon an initial reading. Others, however, not so much. Sometimes there is a need for further commentary. And I’ll do my best to provide that for you.Also, my goal is to outline Aquinas’s thought in a way that easily digestible, giving summaries of the various arguments with premises and conclusions. I know it helps me to keep track of exactly what Aquinas is saying because it makes explicit what Aquinas often is saying implicitly.Now, before we begin diving into Question 73 in this lesson, it’s important that we look at Aquinas’s outline of the material that he will be going through on the Eucharist. Aquinas says there are seven major aspects of the Eucharist to consider: The sacrament itself (Question 73) * Its matter (Questions 74-77) * Its form (Question 78) * Its effects (Question 79) * The use or receiving* of the sacrament (Questions 80-81) * The minister (Question 82) * The rite of the sacrament (Question 83)

In this lesson, we’ll start with Question 73, which deals with the sacrament itself. It’s divided up into 6 articles, or as Aquinas puts it, “six points of inquiry.”1. ARTICLE 1: Is the Eucharist a sacrament?

Commentary: What is a sacrament? A sense perceptible sign that effects what it signifies. So the question here is: Does the bread effect what it signifies, namely, the body and blood of Jesus?1. Aquinas’s Answer: Yes

[An appeal to authority]“On the contrary, It is said in the Collect [Postcommunion "pro vivis et defunctis"]: "May this Thy Sacrament not make us deserving of punishment." [Aquinas’s own reasoning]“I answer that, The Church's sacraments are ordained for helping man in the spiritual life. But the spiritual life is analogous to the corporeal, since corporeal things bear a resemblance to spiritual. Now it is clear that just as generation is required for corporeal life, since thereby man receives life; and growth, whereby man is brought to maturity: so likewise food is required for the preservation of life. Consequently, just as for the spiritual life there had to be Baptism, which is spiritual generation; and Confirmation, which is spiritual growth: so there needed to be the sacrament of the Eucharist, which is spiritual food.” Summary: Is the Eucharist a sacrament? Yes! What is the reason why the Eucharist is a sacrament? There is a need for the preservation of the spiritual life. A summary of Aquinas’s argument? P1: The purpose of the sacraments is to help man in the spiritual life.P2: The spiritual life patterns the corporeal life in generation, growth, and preservation of such life.C1: Therefore, there should be sacraments that correspond with generation, growth, and the preservation of such life.P3: There are sacraments that correspond to generation and growth—baptism and Confirmation respectively.C2: Therefore, there must be a sacrament that corresponds to the preservation of life—i.e., the Eucharist. 1. Reasons Given for Why the Eucharist is Not a Sacrament (Objections and Replies)*

Intro * Each of the objections provides a reason why the Eucharist is thought not to be sacrament. * Each of the objections basically takes the form of a modus tollens argument: + “If the Eucharist were a sacrament, then X. But not X. Therefore, the Eucharist is not a sacrament.” - g., If raining, then wet; not wet; therefore, not raining.

1. Reason #1: Confirmation and the Eucharist would be ordained to the same end of perfection, which can’t be.

“Objection 1.* It seems that the Eucharist is not a sacrament. For two sacraments ought not to be ordained for the same end, because every sacrament is efficacious in producing its effect. * Therefore, since both Confirmation and the Eucharist are ordained for perfection, as Dionysius says (Eccl. Hier. iv), it seems that the Eucharist is not a sacrament, since Confirmation is one, as stated above (III:65:1; III:72:1).”

Summary:P1: If the Eucharist were a sacrament, then it wouldn’t be ordained to the same end as Confirmation, i.e., perfection.P2: But the Eucharist is ordained to the same end as Confirmation, i.e., perfection.C1: Therefore, the Eucharist is not a sacrament. Reply: The objection runs on a vague understanding of “perfection” Reply to Objection 1. “Perfection is twofold . . .* The first lies within manhimself; and he attains it by growth: such perfection belongs to Confirmation. * The other is the perfection which comes to manfrom the addition of food, or clothing, or something of the kind; and such is the perfection befitting the Eucharist, which is the spiritual”

Summary:P1: The Eucharist would have the same identical end as Confirmation, and thus not be distinct from Confirmation, if and only if the perfection that the Eucharist achieves is identical to the perfection that Confirmation achieves.P2: But the perfection that the Eucharist achieves is not identical to the perfection that Confirmation achieves.* [Recall, perfection of Confirmation lies within man himself. The perfection of the Eucharist comes to man from the outside].

C1: Therefore, the Eucharist doesn’t have the exact same end as Confirmation and thus is distinct from it. 2. Reason #2: The species of bread and wine would produce Christ’s true body like water produces spiritual cleansing, which can’t be.

Commentary:* Note on “species”—The Latin word species means, “a seeing, view, look; a sight; an external appearance; a show or display.” * It’s in this sense that he’s using it. He’s not using it in the Aristotelian sense of a species that divides up a genera.

“Objection 2.* Further, in every sacrament of the New Law, that which comes visibly under our senses causes the invisible effect of the sacrament, just as cleansing with water causes the baptismal character and spiritual cleansing, as stated above (III:63:6; III:66:1,3,7). * But the species of bread and wine, which are the objects of our senses in this sacrament, neither produce Christ's true body, which is both reality and sacrament [res et sacramentum], nor His mystical body, which is the reality only in the Eucharist [res tantum]. + Commentary: Aquinas is drawing on scholastic threefold dimension of each of the sacraments: sacramentum tantum [sign only], res et sacramentum [reality and sign], and res tantum [the reality only, which basically refers to the primary and secondary effects]. + For the Eucharist, the sacramentum tantum [sign only] is the bread and win. The res et sacramentum [reality and sign] is the actual body and blood of Christ. The res tantum [reality only] is the union of members within the body of Christ, which is the primary effect. The secondary effect is spiritual refreshment. * Therefore, it seems that the Eucharist is not a sacrament of the New Law.”

Reply: The objection operates on a flawed assumption as to the nature of the sacrament of baptism and the cause of its spiritual efficacy “Reply to Objection 2.* The water of Baptism does not cause any spiritual effect by reason of the water, but by reason of the power of the Holy Ghost, which power is in the water. + [evidence #1] Hence on John 5:4, "An angel of the Lord at certain times," etc., + [evidence #2] Chrysostom observes: "The water does not act simply as such upon the baptized, but when it receives the grace of the Holy Ghost, then it looses all sins." * But the true body of Christ bears the same relation to the species of the bread and wine, as the power of the Holy Ghost does to the water of Baptism: * hence the species of the bread and wine produce no effect except from the virtue of Christ's true body.”

1. Reason #3: The Eucharist would be perfected by the use of the matter instead of the consecration, which is absurd.

“Obection 3. Further, sacraments of the New Law, as having matter, are perfected by the use of the matter, as Baptism is by ablution [ablutione*—act of washing], and Confirmation by signing with chrism. * If, then, the Eucharist be a sacrament, it would be perfected by the use of the matter [the bread and wine], and not by its consecration. * But this is manifestly false, because the words spoken in the consecration of the matter are the form of this sacrament, as will be shown later on (III:78:1). * Therefore the Eucharist is not a sacrament.”

Reply: The Eucharist is unique in relation to the other sacraments such that the sacrament is completed by the words of consecration without the use of matter being applied to the recipient. * “A sacrament is so termed because it contains something sacred. * Now a thing can be styled sacred from two causes; either absolutely, or in relation to something else. + The difference between the Eucharist and other sacraments having sensible matter is that whereas the Eucharist contains something which is sacred absolutely, namely, Christ's own body; + the baptismal water contains something which is sacred in relation to something else, namely, the sanctifying power: and the same holds good of chrism and such like. * Consequently, the sacrament of the Eucharist is completed in the very consecration of the matter [the absolute option], whereas the other sacraments are completed in the application of the matter for the sanctifying of the individual [the “in relation to something else” option]. * “And from this follows another difference. + For, in the sacrament of the Eucharist, what is both reality and sacrament [the body of Christ] is in the matter itself. But what is reality only [the effect, in this case the secondary effect], namely, the grace bestowed, is in the recipient; + whereas in Baptism both are in the recipient, namely, the character, which is both reality and sacrament, and the grace of pardon of sins, which is reality only. And the same holds good of the other sacraments.”

1. ARTICLE 2: Is the Eucharist one sacrament or several?

2. Aquinas’s Answer: One

[For his appeal to authority, he appeals to St. Paul]“On the contrary, The Apostle says (1 Cor. 10:17): "For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread": from which it is clear that the Eucharist is the sacrament of the Church's unity. But a sacrament bears the likeness of the reality whereof it is the sacrament. Therefore the Eucharist is one sacrament.”“I answer that, As stated in Metaph. v, a thing is said to be one, not only from being indivisible, or continuous, but also when it is complete;* [e.g.,] thus we speak of one house, and [e.g.,] one man.

A thing is one in perfection, when it is complete through the presence of all that is needed for its end;* g., as a man is complete by having all the members required for the operation of his soul, and * g., a house by having all the parts needful for dwelling therein.

And so this sacrament is said to be one.* Because it is ordained for spiritual refreshment, which is conformed to corporeal refreshment. [this is the end]

[He now moves to the articulate all that is needed for the end of spiritual refreshment—Christ’s body and blood]Now there are two things required for corporeal refreshment, namely, food, which is dry sustenance, and drink, which is wet sustenance. Consequently, two things concur for the integrity of this sacrament, to wit, spiritual food and spiritual drink, according to John: "My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed." Therefore, this sacrament is materially many [all that is needed for the end], but formally and perfectively one.” [because there is one end] SUMMARY: Is the Eucharist one or several? It is one! What is the reason why the Eucharist is one sacrament? Upon the consecration of bread and wine the sacrament has that which is necessary to make it complete and thereby perfect for spiritual nourishment—namely, Christ’s body and blood. A summary of Aquinas’s argument? P1: When a sacrament has that which is necessary for it to be complete and thereby perfect it is one.P2: The Eucharist requires both Christ’s body and blood to be complete for spiritual refreshment.P3: The Eucharist is both Christ’s body and blood.C1: Therefore, the Eucharist has that which is necessary for it to be complete and thereby perfect.C2: Therefore, the Eucharist is one. 1. Reasons Given Why the Eucharist is not One (Objections and Replies)

Introduction:* Each of the objections is a reason why the Eucharist is not one. * Unlike the previous article, not all of these objections take the form of a modus tollens.

1. Reason #1: The Collect of the Mass speaks of the Eucharist as a plurality of sacraments

“Objection 1. It seems that the Eucharist is not one sacrament but several, because it is said in the Collect [Postcommunion "pro vivis et defunctis"]: "May the sacraments which we have received purify us, O Lord": and this is said on account of our receiving the Eucharist. * Consequently the Eucharist is not one sacrament but several.”

Reply: There is a sense in which the Eucharist is many and yet in another sense in which it is one “Reply to Objection 1. The same Collect at first employs the plural: "May the sacraments which we have received purify us"; and afterwards the singular number: "May this sacrament of Thine not make us worthy of punishment": so as to show that this sacrament is in a measure [quodammodo—in a certain manner] several, yet simply one.” 2. Reason #2: There are many signs of the Eucharist (bread and wine).

“Objection 2.* Further, it is impossible for genera to be multiplied without the species being multiplied: thus it is impossible for one man to be many animals. * But, as stated above (Question [60], Article [1]), sign is the genus of sacrament. * Since, then, there are more signs than one, to wit, bread and wine, it seems to follow that here must be more sacraments than one.”

Reply: Materially many but formally one due to the single end of spiritual refreshment3. Reason #3: The Eucharist involves a double consecration.

“Objection 3.* This sacrament is perfected in the consecration of the matter, as stated above (Article [1], ad 3). * But in this sacrament there is a double consecration of the matter. * Therefore, it is a twofold sacrament.”

Reply: Materially Many but not formally III. ARTICLE 3: Whether the Eucharist is necessary for salvation? 1. Aquinas’s Answer: No

“On the contrary, Augustine writes (Ad Bonifac. Contra Pelag. I): “Nor are you to suppose that children cannot possess life, who are deprived of the body and blood of Christ.” I answer that, Two things have to be considered in this sacrament, namely, the sacrament itself [the sign alone], and what is contained in it [this is going to refer to the reality of the sacrament below—the primary effect of the sacrament. We might think of “reality of Sacrament” to be Christ’s body. But for Aquinas, that’s the reality and the sacrament together—res et sacramentum]. Now it was stated above (Article [1], Objection [2]) that the reality of the sacrament [the primary effect of the sacrament] is the unity of the mystical body, without which there can be no salvation; for there is no entering into salvation outside the Church, just as in the time of the deluge there was none outside the Ark, which denotes the Church, according to 1 Pt. 3:20,21. And it has been said above (Question [68], Article [2]), that before receiving a sacrament, the reality of the sacrament can be had through the very desire of receiving the sacrament. ...

David and Adam discuss Dom Eugene Boylan's book, Difficulties in Mental PrayerIt can be difficult to pray, but it is even more difficult not to pray. In this book, Dom Eugene explains what prayer really is, why it is necessary for everyone and how anyone can become proficient in it. Without using complicated language, he introduces readers to the main stages of the development of prayer and the spiritual life.

Living Beyond Sunday: Making Your Home a Holy Place Our new book is available for pre-order from Ascension Press! “I love this book. It provides wise counsel with beautiful simplicity.

Home life can be difficult and busy, and it’s easy to get distracted from the point of it all: raising a family of saints.

About our drink:

Whistle Pig - Piggyback 6 year Rye

We think anything worth doing is worth doing 100%… where most whiskey makers stick to the minimum 51% Rye, we are committed to long aging and countless barrel experiments that have led to the first 100% Rye perfected for sipping and mixing. Our Rye aged for six years taught us that it doesn’t take long to arrive at perfection. With a mashbill of 100% Rye to capture a 100% bold, spice flavor profile. PiggyBack’s unique strength of precisely 96.56 proof is the optimal match in the strength-sweet-bitter cocktail triangle, making it a bartender’s dream. Stir or shake as you choose.

93 Points from Wine Enthusiast.  Certified Kosher.

About our gear:

Cremo Shaving Cream

About the Topic: Evangelization and success. What does that look like and what do we mean by success? David puts forth a calling for men to strive for greatness.

About our drink:

https://www.kingscountydistillery.com/straight-bourbon (Kings County Straight Bourbon) is a bourbon made like a scotch whiskey. We use 80% New York organic corn from the Finger Lakes, and English Golden Promise barley for a high malt recipe that avoids the wheat or rye typically in Kentucky bourbon. We double pot distill for a more flavorful white spirit, and age in a variety of new charred oak barrels for 3-6 years. Rich in caramel, vanilla, and holiday spice, this bottle is cited frequently in lists of best non-Kentucky bourbons. Younger than some mainstream bourbons, this is a precocious whiskey, surprisingly robust for its age.

About our drink:

https://wyomingwhiskey.com/whiskies/double-cask/ (Wyoming Whiskey Double Cask)

A whiskey gets its color and character from the cask in which it ages and matures. This Double Cask whiskey goes through the process twice. The first five years of maturation in a new charred oak barrel makes it a bourbon. That bourbon then experiences secondary maturation in decades-old casks seasoned by Pedro Ximenez sherry that adds a touch of sweetness, and yields a smooth and impressively complex spirit.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR: copper to mahogany

NOSE: autumnal notes of dried apricot, mission fig, and dried date

PALATE: stewed prune and black raisin, with hints of candied orange peel; vanilla butter cream and toffee underneath

MOUTHFEEL: rich, sticky cinnamon roll with raisins and spice

FINISH: dark dried fruit, followed by warming brown baking spices

About the Topic:

About our drink:

Johnny Walker - High Rye

A mastery of blending to create a bold, new offering. It tempts palates with a revolutionary taste profile that can only be born from the powerful blend of key Johnnie Walker Black Label tasting notes and rye whisky flavors. Johnnie Walker High Rye Blended Scotch Whisky features a unique mash bill of 60% rye aged in American oak barrels, and includes notable single malts from distilleries such as Cardhu, an important part of the Johnnie Walker Black Label flavor. The result is a balance of sweet vanilla notes and the spiciness of rye that become revealed through subtle wisps of warm smoke.

http://exodus90.com/tcms (What’s your holy hour look like? )

There’s a common thread among thousands of formerly sinful people we now call Saints.

They had a relationship with God.

Which then inspired them to ‘set the world on fire’ as Catherine of Sienna put it.

But, more specifically, it meant they put in the time.

They sat with the Lord. Spoke with Him. Listened to Him.

Daily.

They unveiled their hearts and wounds and problems to Him.

They offered him thanks and gratitude.

They left their sufferings with Him on the altar.

They begged for His help.

My question to you: are you putting in the time?

I’m not talking about time to just talk at Him or sit in church making a mental grocery list. I’m talking about time to build a consistent, honest relationship. Time to speak, and time to listen.

Whether you want to pray a daily holy hour or hit up adoration once a week, I have a guide here from the makers of Exodus 90 specifically about praying a Holy Hour.

Inside, you’ll find a simple breakdown that shows you how to structure your time with the Lord.

About our drink:

https://www.oldelk.com/lineup (Old Elk Whiskey)

The key to our bourbon is our high malted barley content in our mashbill. By investing in our bourbon and using four times more malted barley than traditional recipes, we’ve created a non-traditional bourbon that generates sweet and light components. The malted barley combined with the spicy essence of clove from the rye, and the classic rich bourbon character from the corn, amounts to a robust and smooth taste profile.

http://exodus90.com/tcms (What’s your holy hour look like? )

There’s a common thread among thousands of formerly sinful people we now call Saints.

They had a relationship with God.

Which then inspired them to ‘set the world on fire’ as Catherine of Sienna put it.

But, more specifically, it meant they put in the time.

They sat with the Lord. Spoke with Him. Listened to Him.

Daily.

They unveiled their hearts and wounds and problems to Him.

They offered him thanks and gratitude.

They left their sufferings with Him on the altar.

They begged for His help.

My question to you: are you putting in the time?

I’m not talking about time to just talk at Him or sit in church making a mental grocery list. I’m talking about time to build a consistent, honest relationship. Time to speak, and time to listen.

Whether you want to pray a daily holy hour or hit up adoration once a week, I have a guide here from the makers of Exodus 90 specifically about praying a Holy Hour.

Inside, you’ll find a simple breakdown that shows you how to structure your time with the Lord.

About our drink:

Glendalough Distillery 7 year old Mizunara Finish Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Glendalough's Mizunara 7-year single malt is vivid, but delicate with seamless depth. It is vibrant, fruity, and floral on the nose, enjoying a luxuriously smooth mouthfeel with notes of dark chocolate orange, sandalwood and cinnamon synonymous with Mizunara whiskeys. This unique whiskey benefits from an exceptionally long finish of toasted oak and oriental spices, with the dark chocolate lingering even longer.

About the Topic: What should you say (or not say!) at an Irish pub? What was the relationship of Protestants and Catholics in the early 1900's? How has that shaped the way Ireland is today? We have one of our favorite guests on The Catholic Man Show this week, Fr. Sean Donovan to talk about this and our upcoming pilgrimage to Ireland.

About our drink:

Glendalough Pot Still Irish Whiskey -

There is no more Irish a whiskey than Pot Still, so we felt it was fitting to age it in Irish Oak.

We at Glendalough Distillery are proud to play our part in bringing back the use of Irish oak for whiskey cask-making.

This most quintessentially Irish style of whiskey, pot still, is first matured in ex-bourbon casks, then in Irish Oak felled in the mountains around the distillery.

While the bourbon cask softens and sweetens the whiskey, the higher levels of flavor in Irish oak complement and balance the classic pot still spices.

About the Topic:

Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My Mercy. —St. Faustina’s Diary 300

Divine Mercy Plenary Indulgence:

Performance of the indulgenced “work” — usually some prayer, or Scripture reading, or a pilgrimage.**

Detachment from all of our sins — that is, not holding on to any of our sins in any way.

Prayers for the Holy Father’s intentions.

Confession.

Mass and Holy Communion in the state of grace.

http://exodus90.com/?utm_source=catholicmanshow&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=exodus90-2022&utm_content=catholicmanshow-email-1 (Exodus90) has started but Exodus Lent is just around the corner!  

March 2nd is Ash Wednesday, and over a billion people will start living different in some way. Maybe giving up chocolate or alcohol, or whatever. For a lot of Catholics, Lent is a time of finding the easiest way to “give something up”. But, at the end of those 40 days, did that sacrifice really make a difference?

This year, there’s a new opportunity out there specifically for men that will actually help you grow closer to God and become a better man.

You’ve heard me talk about Exodus 90 — but let me tell you about Exodus Lent: a 40-day journey that will challenge you to dig a little deeper this year.

If your first reaction is: “I’m absolutely not taking cold showers” well you’re in luck: men who take on the Exodus Lent get to take warm showers, drink alcohol, and — when you’re with others — watch TV and sports. But don’t be fooled, this will still be a challenging 40 days of preparation for living the Christian life, for the rest of your life.

Here’s how it works:

First — Over the 40 days of Lent, men commit to daily prayer, setting aside a minimum of 20 minutes to spend with the Lord. Each day includes a scripture reading and reflection written to help men better understand, grow in, and live virtue.

Second — More than just giving up chocolate, men take up a range of disciplines and sacrifices for the season of Lent. Sweets, snacks, social media, are all gone.

Third — Men commit to a fraternity of 5-7 men. Each week, the fraternity meets to pray together, check in, hold each other accountable and encourage one another.

On Easter Sunday, you’ll walk away with a new and lasting understanding of what it means to live the full Christian life. Chocolate bunnies and all.

About our drink:

Buffalo Trace Single Barrel

Ancient buffalo carved paths through the wilderness that led American pioneers and explorers to new frontiers. One such trail led to the banks of the Kentucky River where Buffalo Trace Distillery has been making bourbon whiskey the same way for more than 200 years. In tribute to the mighty buffalo and the rugged, independent spirit of the pioneers who followed them, we created our signature Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

About our gear:

More of an action than a gear this week. We need to be talking about the positive things that happen in your prayer life to your children.

About the Topic:

We talk about the 9 choirs of angels, why they are important and what each choir's job is, and how beautiful it is that God uses all of His creation to carry out His will.

http://exodus90.com/?utm_source=catholicmanshow&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=exodus90-2022&utm_content=catholicmanshow-email-1 (Exodus90) has started but Exodus Lent is just around the corner!

March 2nd is Ash Wednesday, and over a billion people will start living different in some way. Maybe giving up chocolate or alcohol, or whatever. For a lot of Catholics, Lent is a time of finding the easiest way to “give something up”. But, at the end of those 40 days, did that sacrifice really make a difference?

This year, there’s a new opportunity out there specifically for men that will actually help you grow closer to God and become a better man.

You’ve heard me talk about Exodus 90 — but let me tell you about Exodus Lent: a 40-day journey that will challenge you to dig a little deeper this year.

If your first reaction is: “I’m absolutely not taking cold showers” well you’re in luck: men who take on the Exodus Lent get to take warm showers, drink alcohol, and — when you’re with others — watch TV and sports. But don’t be fooled, this will still be a challenging 40 days of preparation for living the Christian life, for the rest of your life.

Here’s how it works:

First — Over the 40 days of Lent, men commit to daily prayer, setting aside a minimum of 20 minutes to spend with the Lord. Each day includes a scripture reading and reflection written to help men better understand, grow in, and live virtue.

Second — More than just giving up chocolate, men take up a range of disciplines and sacrifices for the season of Lent. Sweets, snacks, social media, are all gone.

Third — Men commit to a fraternity of 5-7 men. Each week, the fraternity meets to pray together, check in, hold each other accountable and encourage one another.

On Easter Sunday, you’ll walk away with a new and lasting understanding of what it means to live the full Christian life. Chocolate bunnies and all.

About our drink:

Chivalry French Single Barrel Whiskey

Chivalry features a custom-made bottle resembling a knight from the 8th century. The mastery of each handmade bottle extends to the liquid inside with an expertly crafted blend of French whisky. You’ll experience notes of gentle malt, honey, vanilla, and oak. A perfect bottle for a unique gift or to be the star of the show with a bottle that will shock the room.

About our gear:

When it comes to popular power tools, the oscillating tool is the new kid on the block. The best oscillating tools cut materials like metal, wood, and drywall and can sand and file with the right attachment. They can also fit in tight and awkward spaces to tackle jobs other power tools can’t manage.

An oscillating tool uses blades and attachments made for almost every type of home improvement project by vibrating the blades from side to side in an arc, digging them into material or moving sandpaper across the surface. Keep reading to learn more about the features of these tools and how to choose the best oscillating tool for your needs.

About our drink:

Islay Mist - We really liked this malt!

"Islay Mist was created on Islay in the 1920s using whisky from the Laphroaig Distillery as well as choice Speyside distilleries. Initially blended for the 21st birthday celebration of the son and heir of the then Lord Sargadale, this gold-medal winning whisky still carries the seal of the Lord of the Isles. Staying true to the founding recipe, Islay Mist remains the original peated blend with characteristic balanced smoky and peaty tones between layers of mellow oaky maltiness."

About our gear:

N/A

About the Topic: With a reflection on Mark 8: 22-26, we discuss the moments in our lives where it was so abundantly clear it was a grace-filled moment. The amount of grace needed for one to repent, the amount of grace needed to strive for virtue, and the little moments we don't realize change the trajectory of our lives. We talk about that and more with Fr. David Carvajal.

About our drink:

https://www.laphroaig.com/en/10-year-old-sherry-oak-finish (Laphroaig 10 Sherry Oak Finish)

This unique expression from Laphroaig combines the unforgettable flavour of our 10-year-old whisky with the sweet, aromatic flavours from the Oloroso sherry casks. This marriage of casks creates a rich, full-bodied flavour with notes of Manuka honey, bacon and maple syrup alongside the classic smoke, seaweed and hint of salt that Laphroaig is known & loved for.

The European oak sherry casks are carefully selected to complement the unique and much-loved taste of Laphroaig. The additional sweetness and character of the Oloroso casks add complexity and balance to create a unique and exciting expression, but one that stays true to the character of Laphroaig.

The paint roller eliminates the need for messy roller trays by holding up to 22 oz. of paint directly in the handle. You can paint a 7’ X 10’ area in a single fill, allowing you to quickly transform an entire kitchen, living room, bedroom and more without having to stop and reload the roller. For even, consistent coverage, simply squeeze the trigger to feed paint directly to the paint roller. The roller also reduces the need for a ladder or step stool by providing long reach for tall walls and ceilings. The Wagner PaintStick EZ Roller is a great upgrade to traditional paint rollers and will be an ideal painting tool to have for your next room makeover!

The death of a person with the state of mortal sin, that is without any sanctifying grace.

What is mortal sin? 

CCC 1855: “Mortal sin destroys charity in the heart of ma by a grave violation of God’s law; it turns man away from God, who is his ultimate end and his beatitude, by preferring an inferior good to Him. 

3 conditions for mortal sin: 1. Grave matter 2. Full knowledge 3. Deliberate consent

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 https://jimmyakin.com/ (Jimmy Akin)):

We express our recognition that spiritual things are more important than physical things.

We learn to deny ourselves pleasures, even in spite of pain. (Increase in fortitude)

We declare that we recognize the need to reform and to get closer to God.

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. 

We express humility before God by adopting a humble posture, recognizing our dependence on him and affirming our submissiveness to his will.

4 classes of penitents who committed major sins (idolatry, murder, abortion, adultery) in the ancient formal penitential discipline:

Weepers - Not allowed in the church but stayed outside and asked those going in to pray for them.

Hearers - Stood inside the church doors and heard the liturgy of the word but were dismissed before the liturgy of the Eucharist.

Kneelers - knelt or lay down in...

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.

About our drink:

https://www.dewars.com/us/en/double-aged-whiskies/dewars-double-double-27-year-old-whisky/ (27 year Double Double Dewars)

Our unique Four Stage Aging Process for Ultimate Smoothness finished in Palo Cortado Sherry Casks.

Dewar’s Double Double 27-Year-Old is finished in Palo Cortado sherry casks, this blend delivers heady, aromatic, floral notes with honeyed fruits and subtle spice and the characteristic silky smooth finish.

Innovation comes in many forms, and in 2019 our Master Blender, Stephanie Macleod, released a new range of Blended Scotch Whiskies with a Four Stage Ageing Process for Ultimate Smoothness. This may sound like an indulgence but the series has been picking up gold medal awards the world over since being released.

We believe that in order to do things right and get the best results you should put in double the effort; everything else is just a job half done. So we asked ourselves how we could put in double the effort to our range that was already Double Aged for Extra Smoothness…and it was obvious..double it!

Our Double Double Series has been aged, blended together, aged again, then finished in sherry casks for the Ultimate Smoothness.

About our gear:

https://www.cuapress.org/journals/the-thomist/ (The Thomist Subscription)

The Thomist appeals to a wide international readership in the university, the seminary, and the Church. In the tradition and spirit of Thomas Aquinas, it seeks to promote original and penetrating inquiry into the full range of contemporary philosophical and theological questions. It undertakes particularly to support sustained discussion of issues of philosophy and systematic theology, where such discussion can be advanced by creative use of the thought of Aquinas and significant authors in the Thomistic tradition. In this way The Thomist seeks to cultivate a fruitful dialogue between modern and contemporary philosophical systems and the classical tradition of philosophy and Christian theology.

About the Topic:

Acquired: Virtue that we cultivate by our own efforts. Acquired virtues can be strengthened progressively over time. Aquinas holds that acquired virtue can be a life of continuous growth and progress.

Infused: Given by God alone. Habitual grace is the accidental form that modifies the essence of the soul so as to give the human person a participation in the divine nature. Infused virtues can also grow over time.

Stages of growth:

Beginner – avoiding sin and preserving the gift of charity.

Proficient – Strengthen charity by steadily advancing in greater works

Perfect – Whose exercise of charity is directed at uion with and enjoyment of God

The strengthening of a habit enables one to perform greater acts in accordance with that virtue the 1. Promptness 2. Pleasure 3. Ease.

Acquired virtues are both generated and increased by gradual strengthening of reason’s imprint on the appetitive powers through human acts,

About the Topic:

Hierarchy of gratitude:

God

Our Parents

The person that excels in dignity, from whom general favors proceed

A benefactor from whom we have received particular and private favors

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.

Francis De Sales – Intro to the Devout Life: Of poverty of spirit in the midst of riches.

“There is a difference between having poison and being poisoned”

Steps to growing in gratitude – Catholic Digest

Prayer, prayer, prayer

Surround yourself with people who are grateful for life

Attitudes are contagious

Materialism fuels our ingratitude

Before we make purchases (planned or otherwise) say a prayer

Instead of rewarding children with things, reward them with experiences

Will this gift end up in the trash in a week?

Refusing to forgive is a major obstacle to gratitude

Failure to forgive places burdens on our soul

Worry and Anxiety also lead us away from gratitude

“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

There is a direct link between screen time and anxiety

Practice custody of our language

Just like custody of the eyes.  Grumbling or venting does not help, it is a consummation with our interior feelings.  Stop complaining, be happier

Regular confession

Meditate on our Lord’s mercy

Memento Mori

Having Heaven as our context helps us be grateful for everything, especially our trials

The new bourbon is described as a blend of Kentucky Owl 4-year-old wheat and high-rye bourbons, along with 5 ½-year and 8 ½-year-old Kentucky-sourced bourbons.

“The Wiseman Bourbon is an artful balance of soft wheat and spicy high-rye that provides a smooth but complex bourbon designed to drink neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail,” said John Rhea, Kentucky Owl master blender, in a prepared statement. “The product leads with a beautiful caramel flavor and aroma followed by notes of allspice, citrus fruit and a nudge of oak.”

True Devotion to Mary

About the Topic:

A true devotion is defined as a "promptness of the will in the service of God" - Aquinas

Errors of a True Devotion:

1. In wishing to go to our Lord without passing through Mary. Some Catholics do not see clearly enough how expedient it is to have recourse to the Blessed Virgin in order to enter the intimacy of Christ.

2. They fear that devotion toward her is abused and that injury is done to our Lord by paying excessive honor to BVM.

3. Seems to consider Mary a hindrance in reaching divine union, whereas all her influence is exercised in order to lead us to it.

"To neglect the mediators whom God has given us because of our weakness, shows a lack of humility. Intimacy with our Lord in prayer will be greatly facilitated by frequent recourse to Mary."

EX: Asking Mary to help make a good examination of conscience and confession.

"There are Catholics who do not see clearly enough the necessity of having recourse to Mary that they may attain to intimacy with the Savior” - Fr. RGL

Degrees of the Devotion:

1. Consists in praying to the BVM from time to time, honoring her as the Mother of God, saying, for example, the Angelus with true recollection every time it rings.

2. Having more perfect sentiments of vereration, confidence, and love for Mary. Lead us to the daily recitation of at least one of the three parts of the Rosary while we meditate on the joyful, sorrowful, or glorious mysteries, which are for us the road of eternal life.

Page 27 in Secrets of the Rosary on why the rosary is more efficacious than reading the psalms.

1. True devotion to Mary, that proper to proficients, consists in consecrating oneself entirely to our Lord through her. "This devotion consists in giving oneself entirely to the BVM in order to belong entirely to Jesus Christ through her."

CCC 964: Mary's role in the Church is inseparable from her union with Christ and flows directly from it. "This union of the mother with the Son in the work of salvation is made manifest from the time of Christ's virginal conception up to his death";504 it is made manifest above all at the hour of his Passion

Fruits of the Devotion:

St. Louis de Montfort says that this road to God is easier, and nevertheless more meritorious, and consequently a more perfect, short, and sure road.

“But thanks to Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort,” he wrote in 2004 in the Letter...

About our gear:

https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Sanctity-Saint-Francis-Sales/dp/1785167863 (The Secret of Sanctity) - OUR GREAT HAPPINESS as Christians is to possess, in this world, through grace and love, Him Who deigns to be our beatitude for all eternity; and our greatest misfortune, after sin, is not to know or to recognize this secret of eternal charity. God would have us holy even as He is holy; He would have us live His very life. It is for this end that He has given us His divine Son, and with Him the infinite riches of His heart; that is. His merits. His sacraments, His Church. Sanctity consists in believing and receiving these divine communications, of which Jesus Christ is the source, the instrument, and the end; consequently, it also consists in uniting ourselves with Him by loving Him, and in modelling ourselves upon Him by imitating Him; it can and ought to pervade every life, the busiest as well as the simplest.

About our gear: https://www.amazon.com/Before-Church-State-Sacramental-Kingdom/dp/1945125144 (Before Church and State: A Study of Social Order in the Sacramental Kingdom of St. Louis IX)

Before Church and State: A Study of Social Order in the Sacramental Kingdom of St. Louis IX by Andrew Willard Jones explores in great detail the "problem of Church and State" in thirteenth-century France. It argues that while the spiritual and temporal powers existed, they were not parallel structures attempting to govern the same social space in a contest over sovereignty. Rather, the spiritual and the temporal powers were wrapped up together in a differentiated and sacramental world, and both included the other as aspects of their very identity. The realm was governed not by proto-absolutist institutions, but rather by networks of friends that cut across lay/clerical lines. Ultimately, the king's "fullness of power" and the papacy's "fullness of power" came together to govern a single social order.

The prevailing narrative of human history, given to us as children and reinforced constantly through our culture, is the plot of progress. As the narrative goes, we progressed from tyranny to freedom, from superstition to science, from poverty to wealth, from darkness to enlightenment. This is modernity's origin myth. Out of it, a consensus has emerged: part of human progress is the overcoming of religion, in particular Christianity, and that the world itself is fundamentally secular. https://www.amazon.com/Two-Cities-History-Christian-Politics/dp/1645851222 (The Two Cities: A History of Christian Politics)

In The Two Cities: A History of Christian Politics, Andrew Willard Jones rewrites the political history of the West with a new plot, a plot in which Christianity is true, in which human history is Church history.

The Two Cities moves through the rise and fall of empires; cycles of corruption and reform; the rise and fall of Christendom; the emergence of new political forms, such as the modern state, and new political ideologies, such as liberalism and socialism; through the horrible destruction of modern warfare; and on to the plight of contemporary Christians. These movements of history are all considered in light of their orientation toward or away from God.

The Two Cities advances a theory of Christian politics that is both an explanation of secular politics and a proposal for Christians seeking to navigate today's most urgent political questions.

To ensure a unique and consistent flavor, barrels are hand selected to create a perfect blend that is smooth and at the same time bold and intense. Released in 2016, our goal was to create a unique great tasting high rye content bourbon.  The problem is that rye ages much faster than corn. So while our younger vintages had a big rye spice flavor (which we love) the mouth feel was too thin and it lacked the sweet, delicate complexity of a well aged spirit. Our older vintages had the smoothness and sweet notes that can only be achieved by moving in and out of #4 char and caramelized oak for many, many years, but the nice rye spice had been aged out!   So what to do? Find the perfect blend. We combined the two. The younger vintages maintain the bold spiciness of the rye, cut down on the tannins and keep it fruit forward. The older vintage brings in a creamy mouth feel with sweet aromas and taste notes that only appear over time from aging in a barrel. We hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoy making it. Nose: Balanced oak nose with hints of fruit and dried apricots. Taste: Initial sweet notes on the front of the tongue. Well balanced mouth feel with spicy notes including white pepper on the middle and back of the tongue from the younger vintage and high rye mash bill.  Good balance of sweet and oak flavors including hints of caramel (from the #4 charred barrels, caramelized wood sugar), fruit flavor and rye spice. Finishes smooth with no alcohol burn even at 100 proof.  2016, 2017 and 2019San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Medal Winner About our gear: Staple Gun How much of a big deal can it be to choose a staple gun? Not much, right? That’s what most of us think because staplers are pretty straightforward tools and don’t do much other than fastening objects. But guess what, it may not be as simple to pick one that meets all your needs for work around the house or on the job. That’s why we decided to create this guide to simplify your search for the best staple gun. https://www.architecturelab.net/best-staple-gun/ (Click here for the top 13 staple guns of 2021) About the Topic: Experiencing a miscarriage as a husband and father is difficult.

Bottled at the same 114 proof the spirit was when it entered into the barrel, this non-chill filtered wheated bourbon forgoes chill filtration to preserve all the naturally occurring residual oils and flavors that occur during the distillation and aging process (potentially making it appear cloudy at cold temperatures). This bourbon balances a rich mouth feel, with robust notes of vanilla and oak. A whiskey that satisfies the demand of the non-chill filtered whiskey enthusiasts, honoring the man who made wheated bourbon legendary.

The ordinary struggles, challenges, and perils that comes with raising boys are magnified by a multi-billion-dollar industry targeting our sons for porn addiction, a media that demeans and undermines the Catholic faith, and educators and culture leaders who treat masculinity as a disease or a psychosis. And too many dads feel frustrated, ill-equipped, or just unsure about stepping into their role of parenting pre-teen sons.

This year the celebration is set to be entirely online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This will be the second year the festival has been virtual. “This year will be my first Ardbeg Day ever: a baptism of fire! It’s a shame we Ardbeggians can’t enjoy it together in person, but the online event is shaping up to be tremendous fun,” Ardbeg’s Distillery Manager Colin Gordon said. “With a whole virtual world to explore, including fantasy inns, campfire tales, medieval feasts and live tastings, there’s plenty for people to be excited about this year.” The Committee Release of Ardbeg Scorch will be available to buy from https://www.ardbeg.com/en-US/about-ardbeg/embassies (Ardbeg Embassies), whisky specialists, online retailers and from the Distillery Visitor Center on May 1 for $139. The General Release will be available on June 1 at a price point of around $120. Official tasting notes can be found below. Color – Bright brushed gold Nose – On the nose, frighteningly intense aromas of soot and smoke lie in wait. Hints of aniseed and fragrant patchouli interlace with bold notes of quenched steel and saddle soap. With a drop of water, herbal top notes of briarwood, sage and pine wisp their way to the fore. Taste – Take a sip and experience layer upon layer of flavor. An oily mouthfeel grips the senses. Billowy clouds of sweet smoke and dragon charred oak permeate the palate, while grilled fare and black licorice weave between notes of medicinal lozenge. Finish – A long and heroic finale, with a subtle tarry aftertaste. A finish that will drag on, well into its happily ever after.

About our gear: N/A About the Topic: Our good friend, https://www.chroniclesofstrength.com/ (Pat Flynn), joins us to talk about the problem of evil, PSR, and the cosmological argument. The problem of evil is one of the strongest arguments against the existence of God. But the problem of evil is only a problem if the principle of sufficient reason is true because the problem of evil claims that evil doesn’t make sense – namely, is inexplicable (brute!) – given the existence of God. So, if the problem of evil is to be posed as a problem then the PSR is assumed and gives us the existence of God, from which we can infer evil has an explanation even if we cannot see what that explanation is, and so the PoE is dissolved.

Skye’s second distillery is configured to produce a traditional island-style malt whisky – medium-weight and medium-peated with a long fermentation in wooden washbacks and plenty of copper interaction providing a fruit-forward spirit. Every drop of its spirit will be earmarked for bottling as a single malt to begin with, though expect to see some siphoned off for blending further down the line. About our gear: N/A About the Topic: [From the Summa] As stated above (https://www.newadvent.org/summa/2055.htm#article3 (I-II:55:3)), it is https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05543b.htm (essential) to https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15472a.htm (virtue) to incline https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09580c.htm (man) to https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06636b.htm (good). Now the https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06636b.htm (good) of https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09580c.htm (man) is to be in accordance with reason, as https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05013a.htm (Dionysius) states (Div. Nom. iv). Hence https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09580c.htm (human) https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15472a.htm (virtue) is that which inclines https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09580c.htm (man) to something in accordance with reason. Now https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14481a.htm (temperance) evidently inclines https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09580c.htm (man) to this, since its very name implies moderation or temperateness, which reason https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03459a.htm (causes).

Aquinas Guilbeau, O.P., entered the Dominican Province of St. Joseph in 2005. After several years of pastoral work in New York City, Fr. Guilbeau began doctoral studies in moral theology at the University of Fribourg, where he completed a dissertation on St. Thomas Aquinas’s doctrine of the common good. In addition to his teaching, Fr. Guilbeau serves as senior editor of http://aleteia.org/ (Aleteia.org) (English edition). He is also the current prior of the Dominican House of Studies.

Josef Pieper strikes again!

We want to help YOU experience the fun and faith-enriching power of pilgrimage. https://selectinternationaltours.com/catholicmanshow/ (Click here) About our drink: https://www.bruichladdich.com/laddie-shop/octomore/octomore-11-1-139-6ppm/ (Octomore 11.1) Exposing the structural brilliance of our pure, unadulterated Octomore super heavily peated spirit, our 11.1 edition is powerful, understated and vibrant. Underpinned with a delicate balance of smoke and sweet vanilla from the ex-American oak casks, this single malt has spent just 5 years in contact with fresh first fill wood. The presence of peat on the palate is huge, and yet is incredibly balanced with clean fruit and floral notes. Distilled in 2014 from the 2013 harvest of 100% Scottish barley then filled into active ex-American oak, this high provenance, high peat single malt is a fitting embodiment of how quality ingredients demand less time to reach maturity. About our gear: https://thecatholicmanshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/in-tune-with-the-world.jpg ()In this stimulating and still-timely study, Josef Pieper takes up a theme of paramount importance to his thinking – that festivals belong by rights among the great topics of philosophical discussion. As he develops his theory of festivity, the modern age comes under close and painful scrutiny. It is obvious that we no longer know what festivity is, namely, the celebration of existence under various symbols Pieper exposes the pseudo-festivals, in their harmless and their sinister forms: traditional feasts contaminated by commercialism; artificial holidays created in the interest of merchandisers; holidays by coercion, decreed by dictators the world over; festivals as military demonstrations; holidays empty of significance. And lastly we are given the apocalyptic vision of a nihilistic world which would seek its release not in festivities but in destruction. Formulated with Pieper's customary clarity and elegance, enhanced by brilliantly chosen quotations, this is an illuminating contribution to the understanding of traditional and contemporary experience. About the Topic: - Festivals can only arise from a working day (fast before the feast). - It has to be leisurely - a realm of activity that is meaningful in itself. - Ingredients of a festival: - Play or leisurely - Contemplation (“the simple intuition of reason. The mind’s eye resting on whatever manifests itself.”) - Phenomenon of wealth (Existential richness - aka abundance) - Affirmation - (Pieper says affirmation is the substance of festivity.) Festivals are impossible to the “naysayers”. The more money he has, and above all

About our drink:

https://www.missionliquor.com/products/calumet-single-rack-black-bourbon-14yr-750ml (Calumet 14 year Bourbon)

Calumet Farm Single Rack Black 14 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey represents both the prestigious nature and hard-earned quality of a premium Kentucky straight bourbon. It is painstakingly crafted from extremely small batches of 19 barrels. All barrels used are aged in a single, center cut rack from the ideal maturation location and conditions inside the rick house. This expression of the Calumet Farm Bourbon family is a true convergence of craftsmanship and flavor. It is Non-Chill Filtered for added depth of character and color.

This Bourbon is carefully distilled at Western Spirits Beverage Company distillery, United States.

About the Topic:

The topic is focused from the lens of Prudence:

Prudence is the first cardinal virtue for a reason; it is the virtue that teaches us knowledge of reality. From prudence, we gain the ability to discern what is good in every circumstance and to choose the right actions. St. Thomas Aquinas quotes Aristotle that “prudence is right reason applied to action” 

Foresight, a sub-virtue of prudence, is the ability to see into the future and direct actions toward an end. Foresight allows us to rightly order present actions to a good end, knowing that we can never fully predict the future.

Shrewdness, another sub-virtue of prudence. It means to be able to form both a correct and a quick opinion. This is done by developing the mental insight to read between the lines or finding the middle term in a demonstration. The Latin is solertia, which means to have a clear-sighted objectivity, even a dispassionate observance of situations. The one who is shrewd is agile and quick-witted, able to put the pieces together, both from memory and from learning, into the big picture.

When Looking for a Job: - There are only certain things you can control:

• Be praying for your potential boss. Be praying for your current boss and your coworkers.

• Ask your Guardian Angel for guidance and assistance

• The way you dress

• Your online presence

• Research the employer

• Think of ways that would set you apart from other candidates

• Understand that the interview begins the moment you set foot on the premise

• Keep answers brief and concise

• Be prepared for questions: “Tell us something about yourself"

• Thank the interviewer for their time...

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? Scroll to the bottom of the page for the show transcript

After our conversation with https://thecatholicmanshow.com/captivate-podcast/homesteading/ (Michael Guidice), we've been thinking about our gardens a lot more!

Check out this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaItpz4Qn5s (video) on burning the wood before you use it! About the Topic:

-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...

Bl. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humbert_of_Romans (Humbert) of Romans in his book https://www.amazon.com/Oratione-Collection-Humbert-Romans-Writings/dp/1989905242 (De Oratione) discusses the importance of location, community, and different aspects of prayer.

On the holiness that must be found in prayer:

1. Intention of the mind 

2. Frequency of assiduity 

3. Holy purity 

“Know, then, that in order to have holiness in prayer, one must take heed that the praying tongue be not infected by sin.”

The Theological and Cardinal virtues associated with Prayer:

Faith: so that our requests may be made in faith

Hope: so that the one praying does not doubt

Charity: Moves on etc holy desires, which our Lord will grant more willingly

Prudence: so that not harmful things be sought, but helpful ones

Justice: Giving God what He is due. Our love and admiration

Fortitude: Which is part of courage, in order that one may persevere in knocking.

Abstinence: which is a part of temperance. For this is a characteristic of holy men, that they join fasting to their prayers.

On being thankful when a prayer is answered.

3 evils result from ingratitude

1. The first is being deprived of the good that one has received. Chrysostom, “thanksgiving is a kind of tax which our Lord levies upon whatever goods He bestows; and so, just as one who does not pay his property tax may be legally deprived of the property on which it was due, so is it with the ungrateful man and the good things he has received.

2. The second evil resulting from ingratitude is that it hinders future benefits. For it is neither usual nor reasonable that a man who is ungrateful for what he has already received should be granted other things.

3. The third evil is punishment, even in this life. For our Lord is not content only to take away from the ungrateful what He...

You never outgrow the fundamentals. You simply move more deeply into them. For anyone - the kettlebell novice to the 15-year veteran - this short (read: just 30 page) ebook provides the perfect foundation or refresher of the fundamental kettlebell techniques, including the kettlebell swing, goblet squat, snatch, Turkish get up, clean, and military press. Each movement has detailed instructions plus step-by-step photos to help the reader understand the movements as well as safely and effectively execute them.

After we discuss the hows of each of the basic movements, we move into applying what we've learned with a simple, straightforward kettlebell program for strength, muscle, mobility, conditioning, and (for those who want it) weight loss. This 7-day program can be run through just once as a refresher or for up to six weeks as a standalone program.

About our drink:

https://christianbrothersbrandy.com/ (Christian Brothers Brandy VS)

The Christian Brothers Brandy is made from the finest grape varietals and incorporates the same time-honored copper pot still production method perfected over https://christianbrothersbrandy.com/our-history.php (75 years ago) . This process, similar to that of fine Cognacs, creates a rich flavor and full body, enhanced by slow aging in hand-selected Bourbon barrels for a minimum of two years. During aging, the oak barrels imbue the Brandy with layers of well-balanced fruit flavors and a warm, lingering finish.

Not necessarily a gear this week. More of a thought on how we should be thinking about keeping our kids safe in regards to technology.

About the Topic:

Gratitude orients our thoughts toward reality

3 things from Fr. Romano Guardini - the Catholic Thing

• You can only express gratitude toward another person

• Gratitude can only be had in the realm of freedom

• We do not thank the sun for rising (not a person and the sun doesn’t have freedom)

• We do not give thanks for something to which we have a rightful claim

• Gratitude vs politeness

• Gratitude can also be polluted by the giver

• Giving out of a sense of superiority, power, or indifference does not merit the same level of gratitude

Remember the past with gratitude.  Live the present with enthusiasm.  Look forward to the future with confidence.” – St. John Paul II

Would that I could exhaust myself in acts of thanksgiving and gratitude towards this Divine Heart, for the great favor He shows us.” – St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

Get used to lifting your heart to God, in acts of thanksgiving, many times a day. Because he gives you this and that. Because you have been despised. Because you haven’t what you need or because you have. Thank him for everything, because everything is good.” – St. Josemaria Escriva

Gratitude is the memory of the heart.” – Saint Mary Euphrasia

About the Topic:

Eighth Rule

Let one who is in desolation work to be in patience, which is contrary to the vexations which come to him, and let him think that he will soon be consoled, diligently using the means against such desolation, as is said in the sixth rule.

Ninth Rule

There are three principal causes for which we find ourselves desolate. The first is because we are tepid, slothful, or negligent in our spiritual exercises, and so through our faults spiritual consolation withdraws from us. The second, to try us and see how much we are and how much we extend ourselves in his service and praise without so much payment of consolations and increased graces. The third, to give us true recognition and understanding so that we may interiorly feel that it is not ours to attain or maintain increased devotion, intense love, tears or any other spiritual consolation, but that all is the gift and grace of God our Lord, and so that we may not build a nest in something belonging to another, raising our mind in some pride or vainglory, attributing to ourselves the devotion or the other parts of the spiritual consolation.

Tenth Rule

Let the one who is in consolation think how he will conduct himself in the desolation which will come after, taking new strength for that time.

Eleventh Rule

Let one who is consoled seek to humble himself and lower himself as much as he can, thinking of how little he is capable in the time of desolation without such grace or consolation. On the contrary, let one who is in desolation think that he can do much with God’s sufficient grace to resist all his enemies, taking strength in his Creator and Lord.

Twelfth Rule

The enemy acts like a woman in being weak when faced with strength and strong when faced with weakness. For, as it is proper to a woman, when she is fighting with some man, to lose heart and to flee when the man confronts her firmly, and, on the contrary, if the man begins to flee, losing heart, the anger, vengeance and ferocity of the woman grow greatly and know no bounds, in the same way, it is proper to the enemy to weaken and lose heart, fleeing and ceasing his temptations when the person who is exercising himself in spiritual things confronts the temptations of the enemy firmly, doing what is diametrically opposed to them; and, on the contrary, if the person who is exercising himself begins to be afraid and lose heart in suffering the temptations, there is no beast so fierce on the face of the earth as the enemy of human nature in following out his damnable intention with such growing malice.

Thirteenth Rule

Likewise he conducts himself as a false lover in wishing to remain secret and not be revealed. For a dissolute man who, speaking with evil intention, makes dishonorable advances to a daughter of a good father or to a wife of a good husband, wishes his words and persuasions to be secret, and the contrary displeases him very much, when the daughter reveals to her father or the wife to her husband his false words and depraved intention, because he easily perceives that he will not be able to succeed with the undertaking begun. In the same...

Subtle nose of golden delicious apple-meat and honey. Sweet floral verbena, fresh cut grass, saddle leather, cinnamon and honey. Springtime flavors of honeysuckle and orange candy, yellow pound cake, baking spices, lemon gumdrops, and sugar cookies. Long and engrossing finish. Complex. Smoky county fair caramel apple sprinkled with walnuts and cinnamon.

We found this bourbon to be complex and delicious. Worth the price point.

The https://www.amazon.com/Discernment-Spirits-Ignatian-Everyday-Living/dp/0824522915 (book): 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:

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.

About our gear:

More of an action this week than a gear. Build up the Advent season by taking your children out caroling!

About the Topic:

Straight from the Catechism of the Council of Trent:

Three Things to be Avoided by Parents He should also admonish them to guard particularly against three things, in which they but too often transgress. In the first place, they are not by words or actions to exercise too much harshness towards their children. This is the instruction of St. Paul in his Epistle to the Colossians: “Fathers, he says, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. For there is danger that the spirit of the child may be broken, and he become abject and fearful of everything.” (Col. 3.21) Hence (the pastor) should 424 require parents to avoid too much severity and to choose rather to correct their children than to revenge themselves upon them. Should a fault be committed which requires reproof and chastisement, the parent should not, on the other hand, by undue indulgence, overlook its correction. Children are often spoiled by too much lenience and indulgence on the part of their parents. The pastor, therefore, should deter from such excessive mildness by the warning example of Heli, the high priest, who, on account of overindulgence to his sons, was visited with the heaviest chastisements. Finally, to avoid what is most shameful in the instruction and education of children, let them not propose to themselves aims that are unworthy. Many there are whose sole concern is to leave their children wealth, riches and an ample and splendid fortune; who encourage them not to piety and religion, or to honorable employment, but to avarice, and an increase of wealth, and who, provided their children are rich and wealthy, are regardless of their good name and eternal salvation. Can anything more shameful be thought or expressed? Of such parents it is true to say, that instead of bequeathing wealth to their children, they leave them rather their own wickedness and crimes for an inheritance; and instead of conducting them to Heaven, lead them to the eternal torments of Hell. The priest, therefore, should impress on the minds of parents salutary principles and should exhort them to imitate the virtuous example of Tobias, that having properly trained up their children to the service of God and to holiness of life, they may, in turn, experience at their hands abundant fruit of filial affection, respect and obedience.

About our drink:

Midnight Ritual

Fans of Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat Beer will be able to enjoy the iconic ale like never before:  as a whiskey. The collaboration with Iowa-based Foundry Distilling Co. turns nascent Unfiltered Wheat into 89 proof Midnight Ritual, an American malt whiskey.

Prior to fermentation, Unfiltered Wheat traveled by tanker from Boulevard’s Kansas City brewery to historic Valley Junction in West Des Moines, Iowa, home of Foundry Distilling Company. After distillation in Foundry’s towering column still and a slumber of more than two years in new 30-gallon #3 charred oak barrels, Midnight Ritual entices with notes of caramel, banana bread, and allspice.

About The Alcuin Institute:

Officially launched on Oct. 7, 2018—the feast day of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary - the Alcuin Institute is an educational and cultural institute that oversees the formation of Catholic leaders and educators throughout the Diocese of Tulsa & Eastern Oklahoma.

The Alcuin Institute for Catholic Culture seeks to cultivate in the Diocese of Tulsa & Eastern Oklahoma forgotten, and often forbidden, realities—such as virtue, chivalry, valor, self-denial, a fondness for things of the past, and the real mirth found in friendship in order that truth, goodness, and beauty may prevail. In doing so we hope to become a bastion for authentic Catholic culture.
