If you have children that are currently being educated, you need to know about the attacks coming under the label of "Critical Race Theory."
CRT is devastating to children - it causes confusion, guilt, blame, and a lifetime of misunderstanding.
It's also demonic in origin.
Join me in this episode as CRT opposition expert Dr George Maurer walks through what is happening in schools and even home-schooling curriculum across the country in regards to CRT. He explains why it is so bad, and what you need to do as a parent to protect your children.

We worship a God of miracles. Sometimes they're subtle or slight - but sometimes they're not!
Sometimes the miracles are so big and powerful we're left to wonder how we ever doubted.
Join me in this episode as Joshua Marcengill shares his story about God's powerful and miraculous intervention in his life. Multiple times in his story, God brings a powerful healing. Now he has the opportunity to share his encounter with God with others.

Many today want to deny the existence or importance of the spiritual realm. It's scary, confusing, and often overwhelming.
Yet, we would be foolish to not take it seriously. We know that it's real and has real power in our lives.
Join me in this episode as I give some high level guidelines for some things you need to be aware of as a Catholic about the demonic world. This episode is only an introduction that will inspire you to dig deeper with the actual authorities. This should help you know when you need to do more.

A lot of us take great confidence in our technical skills. We may be the very best at our jobs of all the competition, but if we cannot connect on a personal level then we are going to struggle.
Join me in this episode as Lance Cayko walks through his journey of learning to connect with others, and eventually with God. So often we run from God - or at least from what we think God represents. Yet, God patiently draws us back to Himself. The truth always points to Him.

This is a tough time to be in a corporate environment and be a Catholic.
There's a tremendous number of powerful assaults on the truth and teachings of goodness going on everywhere. Many men are intimidated and unsure how to balance what seems like an impossible mix: providing for their family while also speaking the truth.
Join me in this episode as I tackle this difficult question. What are the principles and practical ways we as Catholic men can navigate these treacherous waters? We must hold to truth. We must hold to charity. We cannot compromise on virtue. We must be men of prayer, discernment, and action.

Virtually everyone has heard of the Ten Commandments. Yet, surprisingly, most of us can't actually name all ten.
If we can't even name them - do you really think we're actually keeping them?
Some people might even wonder if they're still relevant in our lives today.
Join me in this episode as Ed Van Buskirk and I talk about the value and necessity of the Ten Commandments in our lives, even today. We discuss why they are a critical part of our struggle towards holiness. God has given us a great gift in the commandments, and we ignore them to our own suffering.

We hear all the time that we need to surrender something to the Lord. Sure, it sounds good, and is probably a good thing to do - but how do we actually do it?
Sometimes surrendering that particular thing kind of feels almost like a little bit of death!
Sometimes it actually is. But we still have to do it anyways.
Join me in this episode as I walk through How to finally Surrender something to the Lord. It's super simple, but also super hard. To help make the point, I also tell 3 stories in my life of where I've had to surrender something, and the pain and agony I've gone through to do it.

Sometimes God asks us for little things. A little adjustment here or there.
Sometimes He asks us to do things that scare the...poop out of us.
How we respond to His call tells us a lot about ourselves. All too often we crumble and falter. But we don't have to!
Join me in this episode as Kevin Phillip shares his story of God's call to ministry through his life. Sometimes it was easy, and sometimes it was very hard. God often calls us into the place we least want to go - the place we are most afraid of. How we respond to that call sets the course of our lives!

Every human has a great number of pieces, parts, and facets to themself. Finding balance is often difficult - commonly one piece (perhaps a lustful piece) takes over control and we seem "surprised" with where we end up.
Things get really bad when we confuse a "piece" of ourself for the actual "self."
Who is the real "I" that lives beneath all our desires, whims, and needs?
Join me in this episode as I start with Exodus chapter 32 (the original "Pride Parade") and explore what commonly happens whenever we confuse a piece of ourselves with the actual self. The response is for the Levites to draw swords and kill - and that is often the response we need also towards those lustful, gluttonous and sinful parts.
Mild action doesn't cut it. We need to be radical.

So often in our lives, God is moving pieces that we don't see, or at least understand. We commonly are so focused on the moment we fail to see the bigger picture.
Commonly we fear that things are so bad there is no way even God could bring good out.
But there are also those blessed moments where God lets us really see back in time - see the beauty of His design, the power of His creativity. In those moments we are offered a renewed hope.
Join me in this episode as Scott Maderer shares his story. It is a powerful story of a patient God who lets Scott try it his own way. When that fails, God gently, patiently, and inexorably leads Scott back to the faith.

The Pro-Life cause is near and dear to many Catholics' hearts. Yet, a lot of us, with good intention, write a check, pray, and hope that's enough.
Here's a great story about a group of Deacons who set out to do more.
Join me in this episode as Deacon Dr. Kevin Cummings shares the story of Deacons of Hope. While based in Kansas, they are looking to expand. They created an amazing way to help women who were considering abortion; they support, treat, and train these women for success in life.
Deacon Kevin also shares some great life advice for those of us who aren't in that "second career" phase yet.

Most of us believe that God has a plan for us. Probably even a purpose...but do we know what it is?
Have you done the work to really connect deeply with God's plan for you?
If so, have you gone even further and aligned your time, your calendar, and your life with that purpose?
Join me in this episode as David Buck shares both his story and his wisdom about this topic. Like many of us, God has regularly given David a radical turn in the "plan" of his life. As David learned to navigate these changes, he was better able to connect with his purpose and align his time to that purpose.
I invite you to listen to this episode and do likewise. It will change your life.

We all get triggered. Some of us, frequently. When we get triggered, we love to point the finger at the other person, at the situation, even at God.
But what if the right person to point the finger at is ourselves?
My claim to you is that you have the power to solve your own triggers, to create your own responses that you choose. You can do it by finally getting to the bottom of what in your life controls you.
Join me in this episode as I walk through a process to help sort out and confront many common root causes that cause us as men to become triggered. You can do a lot of this work by yourself, but will definitely benefit from wise and trustworthy men in your life. For certain, you will need to include the Lord.

There are some addictions and traps that God lets us get out of pretty easy, but there are some that are really tough.
Often we persuade ourselves that we can do it, or that it'll be enough to just get mostly clean - but we're wrong.
We delay the healing through self deception.
Join me in this episode as Logan Hufford shares his story of a severe sexual addiction and the years he spent struggling for freedom. So often he deceived even himself about what was going on. Even in his darkest moments, God had a plan. The struggle to fully accept God's love is hard for all of us, but certainly for those struggling with an addiction.
You can find a link to the specific program Logan was part of here: https://www.prodigalsofalaska.com/

Most of us have been blessed repeatedly in life by another person offering wisdom and perspective. Sometimes it was a formal mentorship, sometimes simply a random passing.
There's something fundamental to the human experience to learn from and be in community with other humans.
Our modern world is quietly suffering in extreme isolation. We've never been so lonely. But we don't have to stay alone!
Join me in this episode as Terry Allen describes a new program he is launching to provide mentors to people of all ages. This program is totally free, and has the potential to forever change your life!

Addiction can leave one feeling utterly trapped, helpless, and powerless. It's so hard to escape, and even harder yet to hold onto hope.
Yet we are never too far gone for God's mercy.
Join me in this episode as Nico Morales shares his amazing story of addiction, escape, falling again, and escape again. God's love and grace are what save us all, but not everyone's story shows that love and grace quite so powerfully!

"Marriage is the primordial sacrament" - a comment understood by almost none of us.
We know that marriage matters, intellectually at least.
But how do we actually live out our marriage? How do we capture that sacramental grace in a practical way?
Join me in this episode as Catholic author Steve Thomas and I walk through what it means to be a man who is committed to living his marital sacrament in the modern day. It is not an easy, or painless, path. It's a cross, in the most painful of senses.
But it is also the most important thing we men who are called to marry can do with our lives!

The early church (and much of the modern Eastern church) had this strong Contemplative component that provided a powerful basis for Christians. This component is, sadly, mostly missing from our modern western Latin Rite Catholicism.
But what if what we lost is actually really important?
What if we need both contemplative time and community life at times?
Join me in this episode as Catholic music composer and community founder John Michael Talbot talks about his life with me. He not only shares a powerful story, he talks about how God was active in his life to bring him to a deeper and more powerful connection.
Music was a major part of his story and life. You can read about his music at https://johnmichaeltalbot.com/

One of the most common questions I get is what are the actual differences between Coaching and Therapy. While there are some common challenges between them, there are also some significant differences.
Coaching, much like in a gym, is much more of a push to do your best. Therapy, at it's finest, is a gentle nurturing restoration of traumatic damage. There's a time and a place for each, but there's definitely a modern trend to turn to therapy too quickly for too many things.
Join me in this episode as I explore some of the major differences between therapy and coaching, both in people who work in each field and how the fields work. I'll also give you some practical ways to help decide where you should go to get the help you need!

We all get into a low slump at times in our lives. Some of those times are lower than others.
Most men, when we get into a sticky and dark situation, really struggle to accept help. It seems like simply too much.
Join me in this episode as Ryan Penley shares his story of addiction, and how one man's tenderness and gentleness finally cut through his defensive shell and inspired him to get help. Wherever you are in your struggles, or if you know someone else who is struggling, kindness, tenderness, and compassion are a secret weapon for finding help.
