In this special Father's Day edition of Battle Plan for Broken Families, Dr. Charli explores the spiritual battle surrounding fatherhood and the family unit. Looking at both Scripture and American history, she examines how cultural shifts, war, generational trauma, absent fathers, and changing family structures have weakened the role of fathers in modern society. Through biblical insight and practical encouragement, Dr. Charli challenges listeners to move beyond viewing Father's Day as a once-a-year celebration and instead embrace a lifestyle of honoring fathers, grandfathers, mentors, and spiritual fathers. She reminds men that God's design for fatherhood is rooted in love, instruction, faithfulness, and spiritual leadership. Whether you are a father, grandfather, father figure, or someone seeking healing from broken family relationships, this episode offers hope, perspective, and a call to restore God's purpose for fatherhood in a generation that desperately needs it.Active-Faith.orgcharli@active-faith.com

II Peter 1:3-10Recorded May 24, 2026 Evening

This is like a military project.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”In a world that often feels disconnected from the divine, many of us grapple with profound questions about identity, purpose, and love. Saint Catherine of Siena once said that if you become who you truly are, you would light the world on fire. This echoes the sentiments of John Paul II and Saint Athanasius, who spoke of the deep yearning inscribed in each human heart—a longing for a divine connection that can transform our lives. In this Episode we delve into these themes, particularly through the lens of Saint Augustine's journey and the insights from the Claymore Battle Plan.To start, we must recognize that our hearts are filled with desires to love and be loved. Yet, they can also be confused and hurt, struggling to find coherence in our experiences. In *Act 26* from the Claymore Battle Plan Handbook, we explore how the gospel intersects with our lived experiences. This interaction leads us to our "aha moment," where we encounter Jesus Christ and begin to understand our true purpose. Visit Claymore Milites Christi to learn more about the Battle Plan and connection to other men! Support the show

Fr. Dave Tomaszycki looks at Fulton Sheen's battle plan for spiritual warfare.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The claim that issues surrounding sexuality should take secondary priority behind concerns like justice, equality, or freedom reflects a distinction that unfortunately many modern Catholics increasingly make.In truth It is a False Separation Between Sexual Morality and Justice.The Catholic tradition—has consistently rejected this division.John Paul II for one never treated chastity and justice as competing priorities.He taught instead that they arise from the same truth about the human person.This was the core of his personalist vision that each person is an individual created in the image and likeness of God...and that each person must be loved and never used as a pawn in some political game as is done in Socialism. The crisis is therefore not merely political.It is anthropological. Anthropology is the study of human beings...and so It concerns the meaning of the human person himself.When sexuality is detached from truth, from procreation, from covenant, and from self-giving love, the effects do not remain private. They radiate outward into the culture.The consequences become visible everywhereVisit Claymore Milites Christi to learn more about the Battle Plan! Watch Video: https://youtu.be/RUkRwYl25g4Support the show

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”If you've ever felt like you got dropped into the middle of a movie and missed the first half, you know the quiet anxiety that follows. We start with a deceptively simple question from Stephen Covey: are you building your life with the end in mind, or just reacting to whatever hits you next?We pull from Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body and his “triptych” view of the human story: what love was meant to be, how the fall distorts desire, and where we're actually going. That bigger horizon changes how we talk about same-sex attraction, lust, marriage, and even the daily grind of work and family life. We also get very practical: the Claymore 10-minute morning ritual (before you touch your phone), why temptation isn't automatically sin, and how “praying with temptation” becomes the difference between repression and real healing.Visit Claymore Milites Christi to learn more about the Battle Plan for Young Men! Then we go deeper into the end goal: heaven. Jesus' words about the resurrection reshape what we think marriage is for, why love can't be reduced to sex, and how confession and mercy rebuild a distorted view of love into something true and joyful. If you're tired of grayscale spirituality and want a Catholic worldview that actually makes sense of your body, your desires, and your destiny, hit play.Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.Email Jack with questions and comments to answer and discuss on future episodes! jack@ClaymoreMilitesChristi.com.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The most disturbing stories at the border aren't numbers, they're names we never learn. We respond to a clip of reporter Ben Bergquam stepping outside a church to face protesters head-on, and the exchange becomes a window into something bigger: what happens to a culture when it trades truth for slogans and formation for outrage.We talk through the border crisis in human terms, focusing on the vulnerability of innocents and the ways cartels profit when order breaks down. The conversation raises hard questions about illegal immigration, border security, ICE enforcement, and the role of NGOs that receive public funding while facilitating movement across the border. We also unpack the mindset behind easy answers like “tax the billionaires,” and why that kind of thinking spreads faster in a society that has lost shared moral ground.From there, we zoom out to the deeper framework that drives the whole show: the Claymore three-step battle plan. We argue that lasting renewal starts in the human heart, strengthens marriage and the family, and then rebuilds culture through truth, virtue, sacrifice, and love. You'll hear practical next steps, including the Claymore handbook and a simple 10-minute morning ritual designed to pull you out of the spirit of the age and back into prayer, clarity, and courageous action.Visit Claymore Milites Christi to learn more about the Battle Plan for Young Men! Email Jack with questions and comments to answer and discuss on future episodes! jack@ClaymoreMilitesChristi.com. If this conversation challenges you, share it with someone who needs a better framework than outrage.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Evil rarely announces itself. More often it blends in, turns the temperature up one degree at a time, and convinces good people that numbness to sin is normal. Jack is with Claymore leader Dan McSweeney to talk plainly about the spiritual battle playing out in modern life and why so many young men feel drained, isolated, and stuck, even when everything looks “fine” on the surface. If you're watching marriages crumble, seeing addiction, especially to p*rnogra$hy (not a typo) become common, or feeling your own heart go passive, this conversation puts words to what's happening and why it matters.We also tackle a hard objection head-on: is the Church just a pile of rules? We walk through why the Ten Commandments are designed to set you free, not box you in. Freedom isn't “anything goes.” Freedom is the ability to love without fear, build trust, protect your family, and live with integrity when the culture pushes the opposite. Jack shares how the Catechism begins with desire and authentic love, reframing Catholic faith as a love story rather than a scolding, and why that changes the way a man fights the battle between love and lust.Then we get practical. Claymore's simple spiritual formation plan is built for real life: ten minutes of morning prayer before the phone, and a short nightly reading rhythm that can reshape your heart in 52 days. We talk about brotherhood, accountability, and why you should never try to do this alone, especially when spiritual resistance shows up after you start changing.Subscribe for more conversations on Catholic men's formation and the spiritual battle, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review to help more men find the Claymore Battle Plan.

Are we getting the Steelers smokescreens as we sit on the eve of the NFL Draft? Gerry Dulac has his latest, which he normally gets from the top. But as we have seen in recent years, Gerry isn't batting 1.000 when it comes to Steelers draft nuggets. An interesting prospect is Kenyon Sadiq, the top TE in the draft, that could be on the board at 21. Gerry also shared that Makai Lemon is the 2nd WR on the Steelers board. Is there a world where the Steelers do draft a tackle and move Troy Fautanu to guard? Gerry added that there is a ‘zero percent chance' the team drafts Ty Simpson and likely won't select one in the first 2 rounds. ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi described this year's draft as ‘top heavy' with so many teams looking to trade back in the 1st round or out of the round completely. Aditi thinks there are 12-16 1st round caliber players in this year's class, based on what she's hearing. Aditi expects a run on offensive line in the middle of tomorrow night. Is the tackle talk just a smokescreen by the Steelers? Aditi thinks Mike McCarthy will push for a WR. Aditi thinks a lot of teams will be jockeying for spots tomorrow night. Aditi's pick: Makai Lemon. Donny Football Debrief – One NFL insider says we shouldn't rule out Carson Beck being drafted in the 1st round. Could it be the Steelers?

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Your first 10 minutes each morning are already shaping you. The only question is whether they belong to your phone or to God. Jack sits down with Jeff to answer your questions. We hear from parents, mentors, and young men who feel the urgency of the moment and want a simple way to get their hearts back, find a wife or learn how to better love the one they have, and finally, how to restore the culture and take back their country. We break down how the Claymore 3-Step Battle Plan Outline and the Claymore Battle Plan Handbook work together, why the plan moves from the individual human heart to marriage and family, and then outward into culture and civic life. If you've been looking for Catholic discipleship that's practical, repeatable, and built for real life, we explain the “Claymore 10-Minute Morning Ritual” (knees before the phone) and the 10-5 rhythm that helps you build momentum without getting overwhelmed.We also go straight at the hard stuff: anxiety, loneliness, and addiction in a porn saturated culture. We talk about why “temptation is not a sin,” how to turn temptation into an invitation to pray, and why nobody wins this battle alone. Mentorship, walking with brothers, and the grace of the Sacraments are key themes throughout, along with one guiding rule for sharing faith at home: never impose, but always propose what is true, good, and beautiful.If you want the overview, practical starting steps, and a way to pass this on to your family, social circle or your parish, listen through, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the path.Email Jack with questions and comments to answer and discuss on future episides! jack@ClaymoreMilitesChristi.comSupport the show

One of the hardw=est things---at least for me. "Be still and know that I am God." I want to fix the situation. I hate just sitting still but that is exactly what God says we must do---be still and trust Him. Knowing He has everything in His control and all you and I can do is work on us and our obedience!

God gives a step by step plan in His Word for the last days

There is a victory and God prmises blessings for those who trust and keep the faith even in these last days. He has a special blessing just for you!

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The world is loud, confusing, and relentless and it is shaping men into spectators. We refuse that. We start with a sharper claim: the battle isn't mainly political, personal, or psychological. It's spiritual. Drawing from Ephesians 6, we talk about what it means to fight “not against flesh and blood,” and why misidentifying the enemy wrecks marriages, families, and your interior life.This is the Introductory Episode from the Claymore Battle Plan Handbook! Join us in this year-long journey! St Catherine of Siena said that if you “Become Who You Are" that you would set the world on fire!St Athanasius an early Church Father and Doctor of the Church said that the Son of God became man so that we might become like God!I'd take a wild guess but most of us are just a bit “disconnected” from the Divine life that these saints are pointing us too. Yet St JPll said that there is an “echo” of this story, this divine life that we are created for inscribed in each human heart and if we put on the proper lens we can get in touch with this ECHO within us in such a way  we have that aha moment! Claymore Milites Christi websiteSubscribe to us on XVisit our YouTube Channel and Subscribe! Email us at info@jp2renew.org with questions and comments for the next Episode!

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”You want a better life, a better marriage, a better country in which to raise your kids?Here is the truth of things: The world changes when we pass down what is true, good, and beautiful to the next generation.What does that mean? For one thing It means that you and I must be willing to proclaim the Gospel to them in a way that reaches them where they are hurting. https://claymoremiliteschristi.com/This is not brain surgery. Saint Paul, writing to Timothy, says:“I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus: preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season” (2 Tim 4:1–2).Pause for a moment and think about that verse.Was Timothy Superman?Did he possess some advanced technology to reach the masses?Was he physically stronger or intellectually wiser than other men?No. In fact, he was young and somewhat reserved by nature.Yet Saint Paul called him to be manly—to be strong in the grace of God—and to step forward and preach the word. And he adds a sense of urgency:“…be urgent…in season and out of season.”Claymore Milites Christi exists to answer that call—to preach the word with urgency, in season and out of season, to a generation that is clamoring to hear the Truth, with a capital T.But someone must be willing to preach the word to them.Email us: info@jp2renew.orgSupport the show

The Battle Plan

Send me a Text Message!In this series, “The Jesus Way" we are Listening to, learning from and leaning into the gospel of John; to get a better picture of what it looks like to be a Jesus-apprentice. And in this episode, we are finishing John chapter 10. But like the last episode, I'm going to start in John 10 but then wander a bit, all the way back to the Psalm 23. Why Psalm 23? Because there is a lot in John 10, about spiritual battle  and a lot about Jesus being our great Shepherd. John 10 contains another one of Jesus “I am” statements. I am the great Shepherd.And as I was reading John 10 through again, I kept thinking of Psalm 23, which is all about sheep, shepherds, and a crazy battle plan.

Audio taken from the live teaching "A Biblical Battle Plan For Finishing Well - 5 Ways To Safeguard Your Spiritual & Moral Life" - https://youtu.be/IV0QndmMg44I believe Proverbs 4:23–27 gives us one of the clearest battle plans God has provided for us in Scripture for protecting our spiritual and moral lives.In our text, Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, is speaking to his son, but today the Holy Spirit is speaking to every believer who wants to not only start well, but also finish well. The text shows us five critical “gates” we must diligently guard if we are going to walk in purity and integrity in a morally toxic world.Guardrail #1 - Guard Your HeartGuardrail #2 - Guard Your MouthGuardrail #3 - Guard Your EyesGuardrail #4 - Guard Your PathsGuardrail #5 - Guard Your FeetKey Scriptures used in today's teaching: Proverbs 4: 20-27Other Scriptures referenced: Matthew 6:22-23; Proverbs 4:27; Psalm 32:8; Jude 24Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!  Be sure to check out the playlist “New Beginnings” - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week.

When Janelle dreamed of becoming a mom, she never pictured the heartbreak that would come—navigating her daughter's teen years and facing the reality of addiction, family estrangement, and the pain no one likes to talk about. We're talking about Janelle's honest journey through bewildering and lonely seasons: the confusion, denial, searching for answers, and finally the courage to ask for help.Janelle talks about what it was like to realize her daughter was struggling with drug addiction, how she faced hard choices as a parent, and what it looked like to set boundaries she never imagined she'd need. She opens up about the guilt, fear, and shame that can come with these dark times—and how she found hope and healing one step at a time. Through faith, real community, and a willingness to learn and grow alongside her daughter (including joining support groups and recovery programs herself), Janelle saw God bring them both to a place of restoration.

Back in 2017, I titled that chapter “What If Things Fall Apart?”, and honestly, I don't think anything could be more relevant right now.   It feels like so many of us are wandering through our own wilderness—feeling lost, lonely, and afraid. Afraid of what's ahead. Afraid of what could be. Afraid of what our anxiety says about us. Afraid of what happens if things really do fall apart.   That's why I'm sharing this chapter with you today. My prayer is that it brings peace about the future and reminds you to find your own stones of remembrance—those markers of God's faithfulness that anchor us when fear tries to take over.   At the end of the episode, I'll not only share practical tools and encouragement to help you fight fear, but I encourage you to take one specific step: pick a stone of remembrance today, write it down, and let it remind you of God's faithfulness as you step into 2026 with greater confidence.   Timestamps: (03:38) - Fear of the Unknown: How It Keeps Us Stuck in Our Own Wilderness (13:00) - Focusing on God's Faithfulness: The Shift That Frees Us From Fear (17:17) - We Will Always Face New Giants (and How to Meet Them with Courage) (23:35) - How to Stop Catastrophizing Before It Derails Your Peace (26:11) -A Battle Plan to Fight Your Fear of the Future with Strength and Clarity WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Catalyst Mastermind The Uplift app is here!

The episode also celebrates significant ministry milestones: thousands of students served through Reformed Academy, international reading cohorts across six continents, new books published, and the largest theology conference in Reformed Forum's history. Framed by the theme "Growing Together into Christ" (Ephesians 4:15–16), this highlights episode not only looks back with gratitude but looks forward with confidence—inviting listeners to partner in the ongoing work of theological education for the church worldwide.

Sign up for FREE COACHING with Alli – https://alliworthington.com/freecoaching    Today, I want to share Chapter 4 of Fierce Faith: "What If They Don't Like Me?" I open up about my own rejection stories and the everyday ways fear of rejection shapes our choices. It's a fear we rarely talk about, but it shadows much of what we do.   Think about it—whether we post that picture we're proud of, share a new dream with our spouse, or open up to a new friend, fear is right there, whispering doubts. And most of us don't even realize how much power we've handed it.   My prayer is that this chapter helps you recognize and release the fear of rejection, so you can step into 2026 with hope, holy confidence, and courage, embracing your authentic self.   Timestamps: (06:13) - How Rejection Steals Our Joy (and Why We Don't Notice It Happening) (10:35) - Everyday Rejections: The Subtle Moments That Shape Our Confidence (16:29) - The Ultimate Rejection (21:06) - A Battle Plan to Fight the Fear of Rejection with Strength and Clarity (25:20) -How to Recover When We Feel Rejected and Come Back Stronger WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Catalyst Mastermind The Uplift app is here!

Hey sis, here is hope. You can turn your worries and your wishes into your true realities, and you can surely find freedom from the debilitating disease of an eating disorder and disordered eating. In this powerful episode, host Lindsey Nichol speaks truth directly to your heart, spirit, and mind. If you're stuck in the same place year after year - same worries, same wishes, same Thanksgiving anxiety, same holiday struggles - this is your wake-up call. Lindsey reveals why your worries and anxieties can actually HELP you move forward (or keep you stuck in the safe zone), and why your wishes and dreams must become greater than your fears. She introduces her 3-step battle plan for turning wishes into reality: align with your biggest challenge, align with your greatest dream, and study your enemy - that nagging voice keeping you in the cycle. This isn't just another motivational episode. This is a strategic battle plan for warriors ready to stop wishing and start living. Because girlfriend, warriors don't go into battle without a shield, a sword, or a plan. And you're not meant to go alone. If you've been waiting for the "magic pill" to create peace in your life, this episode will show you that YOU have the power to transform everything - starting right now. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why Worries Can Help You (Or Keep You Stuck) Your worries and anxieties can nudge you toward the future you're dreaming of They can propel you forward on your journey to freedom But they can also keep you stuck in the safe zone if you do nothing about them The difference between productive worry and paralyzing worry Why Wishes Aren't Enough Wishes and dreams are great, but they can keep you stuck too Without action, wishes remain fantasies year after year Life is hard, especially with an eating disorder - but wishes alone won't change that Your wishes must become greater than your worries to create real change The Biggest Challenges Women Face in Recovery When Lindsey asks her one-on-one clients "What is your biggest challenge?" she hears: Fear of weight gain Recovery feels totally impossible "I want to eat the way I should, yet I don't" Anxiety around food Over-exercising and calorie counting Worrying about how others see me Struggling to give up control Rigid routines and bad habits that are hard to break Eating differently than family Decades of disordered relationship with food and body Always relapsing when life happens The Greatest Wishes Women Have When Lindsey asks "What is your greatest wish?" she hears: I want to live life FREE I want to be healthier and better I want to eat "normal" (whatever that is) I want to nourish my body I want to be happy and healthy I want to stop thinking about food constantly I want to eat without fear of weight gain I want to go out to eat and enjoy it without looking at the menu beforehand I want flexibility I want to be present I want to LIVE The Bridge: Freedom IS Your Reality Freedom is possible no matter how you feel right now Feelings aren't forever - they change If you feel stuck year after year, same holidays, same struggles - it's time to stop the madness You have to stop the nagging voice keeping you in the cycle The Hard Truth You Need to Hear YOU have the power to transform your life completely - you, no one else If you had the "magic pill of power" to create peace, would you take it? You have to stop loving the drama of the cycle Your wishes must become GREATER than your worries This only happens when you come PREPARED FOR THE BATTLE Warriors don't go into battle without a shield, sword, or team You need a PLAN and you need to EXECUTE The 3-Step Battle Plan to Turn Wishes Into Reality: Step 1: Get in Alignment with Your Biggest Challenge In order to defeat the enemy, you need a strategy What is your biggest worry? Your biggest challenge? You have to identify it clearly to fight it effectively Be specific - name the fear, the behavior, the thought pattern Step 2: Get in Alignment with Your Greatest Dream What is your biggest wish? Your greatest desire? Close your eyes - where do you see yourself in 1 year? 5 years? Your dream is achievable if you can imagine it This becomes your "why" - what you're fighting FOR Step 3: Study Your Opponent (Your Enemy) How can you fight what you can't see? How can you put in your all when you can't define it? How can you go to battle if you don't know what you're up against? What is your reward when you conquer? Study the enemy like no other: What does that voice inside your head say to you? She's constantly bargaining, right? "You don't need that" / "You can eat later" / "It's too early for a meal" What is she trying to manipulate you with? When you can SEPARATE your thoughts from HER thoughts, you can build your plan of attack Key Takeaways: ✨ Worries can work FOR you or AGAINST you - they can propel you forward or keep you stuck ✨ Wishes without action keep you in the same place - year after year, holiday after holiday ✨ Feelings aren't forever - no matter how stuck you feel right now, it can change ✨ You have to stop loving the drama of the cycle - the cycle only continues if you participate ✨ Your wishes must become GREATER than your worries - this is the tipping point ✨ Warriors don't go into battle unprepared - you need a shield, sword, helmet, and plan ✨ You're not meant to do this alone - going solo into battle is a losing strategy ✨ YOU have the power to transform your life - no one else can do this for you ✨ Freedom is already yours - it's been granted to you, you just have to claim it ✨ Commit to ONE action today - your future self will thank you Powerful Quotes from This Episode: "You can turn your worries and your wishes into your true realities" "Your worries can help you move forward or keep you stuck in the safe zone" "Wishes can keep you stuck if you do nothing about them" "If you feel like year after year you're stuck - Thanksgiving after Thanksgiving, Christmas after Christmas - you have to stop the madness" "Feelings aren't forever, friend. Feelings aren't forever" "You have power to completely transform your life. You. No one else" "If I gave you the magic pill of power to create peace in your life, would you do whatever it took?" "You have to stop loving the drama of the cycle" "Your wishes and dreams have to become GREATER than your worries and anxiety" "You will only find freedom if you become prepared for the battle" "Warriors don't go into battle without a shield. Would you go into battle without a sword? How about going into battle alone?" "Why are you going to battle without a plan or without others fighting with you?" "How can you fight what you can't see? How can you put your all when you can't define it?" "When you can separate your thoughts from HER thoughts, then you can build your plan of attack" "You are a mighty warrior. There is no doubt you're strong" "What are you waiting for? Freedom is yours. It's already been granted to you" "Feelings aren't forever. You are a warrior" "It's time to stop going to battle without a helmet and a sword, and it's time to stop going as if you're going at it alone" Scripture: You Are a Mighty Warrior Zechariah 10:5-12 (paraphrased): You shall be mighty in battle, trampling the foe in the mud of the streets. You shall fight because God is with you and you will put to shame the riders on horses. He will strengthen you. He will save you. He will bring you back because he has compassion for you. And you will be enough. You won't be rejected. For he is God and he will deliver you. You shall become a mighty warrior and your heart will be glad and your children will see it and rejoice. God will whistle for you and gather you in because he is redeeming you and you shall be as you were before. He will bring you home from the desert land and gather you. He will pass through the sea of troubles with you and strike down the waves, and all the depths will dry up. The enemy shall depart. He will make you strong and you shall walk in his name. Questions to Reflect On: About Your Challenges: What is your BIGGEST challenge right now in recovery? What worry keeps you up at night? What anxiety feels heaviest on your shoulders? Be specific - name it, define it, see it clearly About Your Dreams: What is your greatest wish for your life? What is your deepest desire? Why are you here? What do you truly want? If you close your eyes and see yourself in 1 year or 5 years free from this - what does that look like? About Your Enemy: What does that nagging voice say to you? What lies is she constantly telling you? What manipulations does she use to keep you stuck? How does she bargain with you throughout the day? Can you separate YOUR thoughts from HER thoughts? About Your Battle Plan: Do you have a strategy, or are you winging it? Are you going into battle with a shield, sword, and helmet? Are you trying to do this alone? What is ONE action you can take today that your future self will thank you for? The Big Question: What are you waiting for?

Yesterday, I stood in church and I sang the words, “Oh God, the battle belongs to you.” As those words passed my lips, I felt the Holy Spirit say, “Do you really believe that?” Sometimes we can sing songs or even quote scripture, and we don't even realize what we're saying. Do you really believe […]
