  • Great for Catholic Men

    I might be biased because he is my husband, but James is a wonderful podcast host and evangelist! I see him waking up early or staying up late, fully committed to creating excellent content to bring more souls to Christ. Keep up the good work my love!

  • Catholics who no longer believe in America

    don’t give a fig about the ‘consent of the governed’ or ‘live and let live,’ two concepts that are in our country’s blood and soil.

    Anti-American Catholics believe in forcing their unpopular opinions onto the polity at large. Thank goodness the polity at large has had a bellyful of Prolife, Inc’s bullspit.

    The GOP will get right with women’s rights or never hold meaningful political power again. Tick tock!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 222 - Unlocking the Mystery of Guardian Angels (Patrick O'Hearn)
Q: What are some practical things we can do to increase our devotion to our guardian angel?
O'Hearn suggests praying the Angel of God prayer with children, offering Mass in thanksgiving, praying before car rides and the Sacraments, and keeping the angel's presence in mind.
Ep 222 - Unlocking the Mystery of Guardian Angels (Patrick O'Hearn)
Q: What is an angel, and what are the different choirs of angels?
O'Hearn explains that angel means messenger and describes nine choirs, from the seraphim closest to God through the angels, the choir to which guardian angels belong.
Ep 217: Real History Isn't Safe, But It's True (Phillip Campbell)
Q: If you could be the patron saint of anything, what would it be and why?
There's really only one answer, and that would be the patron saint of Dr. Pepper, and probably carbonated beverages overall, because it's become a signature part of my teaching persona and student interactions.
Ep 190 Revisited: New Adam (John Bishop)
Q: If you could be the patron saint of anything, what would it be and why?
John explains that he would choose patron saint of confused men to guide them toward a vision of holy, not toxic, masculinity, and to offer a concrete picture of what mature manhood looks like.
Ep 76 Revisit: Father Vincent Lampert on Spiritual Warfare, Real Exorcisms, and How to Win
Q: What practical steps can men take today to prepare for spiritual warfare?
Be a man of God, commit to Mass and family prayer, model faith for children, and lean on parish resources and sacraments rather than relying on sensational means.
