Father Eric Weldon, pastor of Sacred Hearth Church, in Colwich, KS is the founder of the annual "Father Kapaun Walk". This journey starts in Wichita, and progresses on foot for over 60 miles, to Father Kapaun's home town of Pilsen, KS. Over the last decade, thousands of pilgrims have walked the 4 day journey, with hundreds making the pilgrimage each year. Learn the inspiration and origins of the pilgrimage, and how sacred, and sacrificial acts can bring you closer to our Lord. Father Eric shares a very similar back ground to our podcast's name sake, having served in the US Army, as well as being a brother priest to Fr. Kapaun. He also talks about the significance of the recent news regarding finding Fr. Kapaun, and how this year a record number of pilgrims is expected to lace up their shoes to join on this holy journey.

Fr. Chad Arnold is the vocations director for the Catholic Diocese of Wichita. His own vocation story is one that teaches us how to never let a moment go by unnoticed, and to always invite God into our story. While some moments in our journey are heart wrenching, and others are beautiful, intentionally sanctifying moments by acknowledging and thanking God, is a calling we all need to respond to.

We met Dr. J while on the Father Kapaun Pilgrimage- and once you meet him, you can't forget. This week we talk to Dr. John Crotty about his joyful witness to Christ and his spirit of encouragement that he shares with the people around him. Join us for this joyful episode!

You'll hear about General Chilton's trips to space, but also some great advice on leadership, and even a bit about marriage. Strap in and get ready for the episode that's out of this world.

We end our Lenten series in The Foxhole by recognizing that the battle isn't over, yet we are still called to celebrate the triumph of Christ in the Resurrection. Bishop Kevin Rhoades of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend joins us to plot the path to victory from the Passion and Death of Jesus to his glorious Resurrection and victory over sin and death. He helps us understand how to live united with our victor and move forward as a community of the redeemed. A big thank you to all who have joined us on this journey of Lent, and stay tuned for more great things to come, including more guests and improved audio quality. Servant of God Emil Kapaun, pray for us!

Should we be shocked that the Church and followers of Christ are misunderstood and under attack? St. Peter, and even Jesus himself, tell us that this is part of what it means to be Christian. As we approach Holy Week and the Passion, Father Curtis Hecker, chaplain at Kapaun-Mt. Carmel High School in Wichita, helps prepare us for this great battle. In order to help the Church, we don't need power or influence. Instead, we must be able to see our target clearly and continue to do the small things well- and with joy. If we do that, we'll be able to keep the darkness at bay.

Father Kapaun's remains have been identified! Okay, you've probably already heard about this, but we're still ecstatic about the news.

It's the solemnity of St. Joseph (March 19th), and we're talking the Battle for Families with Bishop Carl Kemme of the Diocese of Wichita. Even before Pope Francis did it for the whole Church, Bishop Kemme declared a Year of St. Joseph for the Diocese of Wichita to help guide us as a Church, clergy and especially as fathers and families. He joins us to talk about this, the hope that he sees for families, and and why treating Sundays as sacred is such a game changer. Weekly Challenge: Make this upcoming Lord's Day holy. Prayer to St. Joseph, Terror of Demons: Saint Joseph, Terror of Demons, cast your solemn gaze upon the devil and all his minions, and protect us with your mighty staff. You fled through the night to avoid the devil's wicked designs; now with the power of God, smite the demons as they flee from you! Grant special protection, we pray, for children, fathers, families, for priests and religious and the dying. By God's grace, no demon dares approach while you are near, so we beg of you, always be near to us! Amen.

There's a battle that's fought in all of our hearts, a battle between light and darkness. Father John Lanzrath of the Diocese of Wichita joins us to discuss this battle, and how the evil one tries to conquer us by using the weapons of fear and despair. But Jesus's suffering and resurrection give us hope that we will win this fight. It's the father of lies, the prince of darkness versus Jesus, who is the way the truth and the life, and the light that dispels the darkness in this episode of The Battle. Challenge: Pray with Psalm 119 and see what the Lord wants you to bring to his light.

Father Stephen is a former West Point Grad and Artillery Officer in the US Army. He's now a Catholic Priest, and he joins us today to talk about Jesus' cleansing of the Temple and to encourage us embrace a life of virtue and balance so we can pursue the Lord with an undivided heart. "If God is at the center of your life, everything else falls into proper place around that; He'll perfectly balance you out." Weekly Challenge: Recall your "why" from Ash Wednesday, and identify what in your life is keeping you from that why. Make the changes needed to help you reach your goal. Prayer to St. Michael: St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

The evil one hates communion and harmony. He wants to divide, and the thing he wants to divide most is the vowed union of marriage. But God is on our side, and he gives us the weapons to fight for our spouses and the good of society. Father Daniel Scheidt, Pastor of St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Fort Wayne, Indiana, is the perfect person to lead us in the Battle for Marriage, having studied at the John Paul II Institute for Marriage and the Family in Washington, DC, as well as having much practical wisdom from his own family and the inspiring men and women he has served as a shepherd of souls. This is an episode you'll want to listen to over and over again to soak in Father Daniel's great insights. "The evil one is incapable of emerging from himself: he is totally self-absorbed. Marriage reverses that. Marriage is being taken out of one self for the other person. And of course the paradox is the more I allow my life to be given as a gift the more myself I become." Weekly Challenge: Continue to say the Prayer to St. Michael Think and pray about one way you and your spouse can grow closer together, talk about it, and put a plan into place to do it.

Jesus went into the desert and faced temptation. The devil attacked his identity. As long as we're in the Battle, the same will be true for us. Father Royce Gregerson from Rekindle the Fire leads us in a meditation on this mystery and how we too can listen to the voice of God over the voice of the enemy. This is part 2 of our Lenten series called "The Battle". If you missed week 1, listen to Father David Lies lay the stage for the spiritual battle we're in. Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel: St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

We at Kapaun's Men are teaming up with the men of Rekindle the Fire in the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend for an 8-week Lenten Podcast Series called "The Battle". The devil wants to attack our identity as men, fathers, husbands and friends. Lent is the perfect time to embrace the tools the Church offers to help us draw closer to God. Father David Lies of the Diocese of Wichita joins us today to describe the spiritual battle that has been taking place for millennia. There is no neutral place to hide away, no spiritual Switzerland. The enemy is real, and Father David helps identify him and point out his tactics, but also gives us the weapons that God has given us to fight on the side of grace. The lines are drawn; which side will you fight on?

"I was walking up these steps, but I fell flat on my face. And when I looked up I realized I was on the property of St. Peter in Chains Cathedral. And when I realized I was on the grounds of the Catholic Church and I had fallen, I broke down in front of all my friends. That was actually the turning point where I said, I've had enough, I can't let this control me anymore. I have to live for him." David Patterson of Yes Catholic shares his powerful testimony of his own "Yes" to God, and the struggle to overcome sin and live that yes. It's an affirming reminder of God's love and dedication to us, and that although our response isn't always perfect or smooth, God writes straight out of crooked lines.

It didn't matter if I didn't swim again. It didn't matter that I had only been on campus 5 months as a student- I was a part of this family, and I was a part of this community of faith. Whatever it was going to be, I was going to be okay because I was a part of that community." Check out Haley's Book, What Though the Odds, and more at www.HaleyBook.com

Is business inherently selfish? Is it a profession that requires you to atone for it like a sin? Or instead, is it possible to approach business in a way that glorifies God and benefits both us and the world? Dr. Jim Otteson, a business ethics professor at the University of Notre Dame, has thought a lot about these questions and shares with us a refreshing take on the ethics of enterprise. Taking into account the dignity of all human beings, honorable business is actually one of the best ways we can use our God-given gifts well and spread the joy of the Gospel. Hear and read more from Dr. Otteson at https://jamesotteson.com/ and listen to his TED Talk at: https://youtu.be/eiJh0h79K-8
