Prayer is not prescriptive. So how could we hope to teach our children a practice that St. Thérèse called “a surge of the heart”? Lower school head Colin Gleason suggests that it's about creating opportunities and options, so that our sons can naturally make a life of prayer their own. In his talk from our Parenting Conference in April, Mr. Gleason lays out ten very practical ways to sow the seeds of prayer into our family's daily routines—in formal and spontaneous ways. He ends by reminding us that prayer is not a program. It is an orientation. And whatever we parents approach with consistency and sincerity, “the house will be filled with the fragrance of it” (cf. John 12:3).

Carter Griffin

Pope St. John Paul II outlined the four pillars of formation for seminarians back in 1992 with his apostolic exhortation Pastores dabo vobis. For years, Fr. Carter Griffin has used this framework to walk with seminarians through a program of human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral formation at St. John Paul II Seminary in Washington, DC. With his recent book, Forming Families, Forming Saints, Fr. Griffin brings that rich framework into the context of parenting. In this episode, he provides parents with an overview of the four pillars of formation, and offers encouragement and practical wisdom about what it means for the family to be a “domestic church.” Chapters: 5:43 Family: the domestic church 8:38 Similarities to seminary formation 10:45 Not just self-optimization 15:03 The four pillars of formation 18:30 Sincerity: the truth is never a problem 25:50 Parental expectations 30:29 A childlike relationship with God 33:48 What faith is 37:41 Introducing our children to prayer 43:42 Struggles with prayer 46:41 An apostolic approach for families 48:34 Comfortable with being different 52:52 Awareness of vocations: 11 and 11th 56:31 An outlook of hope Links: Forming Families, Forming Saints by Fr.

Fr. Carter Griffin joins Patrick to discuss Dealing with Anger When is anger good and when is anger bad? (7:23) Patty - I found something that was appalling. I walked away. I don't know if that was the right thing. It angered me later because I should have done or said something. When do you step out and say something when you've seen something awful? Nick - I blow my top at the stupidest things. Still dealing with a foul mouth. Some things I refer to is some of the most potent scripture that combats it. If we can think of the heavenly virtues that combat that in the moment of anger. (20:00) Bridget - In my late 60's. Always have had a problem with anger. I've learned how not to get angry anymore and it's a game changer. It has made my life and everyone else's much better. (26:59) Break 1 How do we find our triggers of anger? (40:18) Kathy - I'm a convert married to a man who is very angry. Always complaining, yelling, etc. How can I deal with that?

“Catholic parenting is above all a work of grace” - Fr. Carter Griffin We often say there is no manual for being a parent, but this book comes pretty close!  In this podcast, we interview the author of Forming Families, Forming Saints Fr. Carter Griffin.  Fr. Griffin has worked for years forming young men into priests in the seminary setting.  In doing so, he saw many similarities between what he was doing with young men and what parents were doing at home.  The four pillars of formation in the seminary - human, intellectual, spiritual, and apostolic - can be applied in the family as well! In both settings, ultimately God is the one who does the transforming in people's lives, but He does choose to use us in the process. We believe this book is a valuable resource for parents that they will be able to refer to again and again.     Key Concepts Parents are proxies. God is the ultimate shaper of their hearts and minds, but He chooses to use us in the lives of our children In the past decade or so there has been an emphasis on the importance of childhood and parenting on a person's life.  This knowledge is good, but it also has put an incredible amount of pressure on parents to “do it right”.  The four pillars of seminary formation - Human, Spiritual, Intellectual, and Apostolic can be applied for parents forming children within the home.   The most successful parents create an environment of trust in the home through continual dialogue with their children while sending the message that they don't just love their kids, but they like them too!  Parents need to know they are not alone! There are many other families working alongside you and we have a great cloud of witnesses cheering us on.  Couple Discussion Consider the four pillars that Fr. Griffith describes.  How is our child doing in each of these?  Can we make a goal for them in each area?  Are we overwhelmed by the responsibility of parenting?  How can we rely on God more for the grace that we need and for the grace that our children need?   Resources Father's book:  Forming Families, Forming Saints: https://stpaulcenter.com/product/forming-families-forming-saints/ Find out more about our UK tour in March - https://messyfamilyproject.org/uk-tour-2025/ Event in New Jersey with Array of Hope - Beloved https://arrayofhope.regfox.com/beloved

Fr. Carter Griffin joins Patrick to discuss Apologetics (3:45) What does the word Apologetics Mean? (8:36) We could even appreciate arguments against the faith by learning apologetics and being respectful of our opponents (13:15) You don't need to be a world-class apologist to be an effective apologist (21:26) -What are some of the common apologetics questions people ask? (25:09) Nick-The power of apologetics in my life and how I'm implementing it in my life (29:19)-How to avoid getting bullied in the faith (31:14) Marty-Sometimes it seems like the Catholic Faith is too overwhelming for me. (37:41)-What makes for a good and bad argument? (40:47)-Bill-Trying to do apologetics to get people into the Church or for them to have a stronger relationship with Jesus (49:10)-How someone could grow in their apologetics?

Where to begin with the lofty, almost nebulous virtue of magnanimity—what St. Thomas Aquinas called “stretching forth of the soul to great things”? Of course we want to raise great-souled children, who even outstrip us in their vision of the good and their commitment to serving it. But words alone will fail to impart such a personal and complex mission. At last April's Fatherhood Conference at The Heights, Headmaster Alvaro de Vicente tackled the challenge of how to teach magnanimity to our children. Following Fr. Carter Griffin's keynote address, Mr. de Vicente laid out the map: the obstacles we must navigate, the targets of opportunity we must seize, and the tools to pack for the mission. Chapters 4:30 Defining magnanimity: a vision of and commitment to the good External challenges to teaching magnanimity: 6:37 Identity culture 7:43 Sexualized culture 9:09 The “second-hand smoke” of culture 10:20 Materialism and affluence 13:18 Entertainment culture 16:01 Moral relativism Internal challenges to teaching magnanimity: 19:23 Selfishness, “I deserve” 22:33 Anxiety 24:26 Personal weakness 26:26 Playing the wrong role: acting coach, not director Opportunities for teaching magnanimity: 28:08 Dealing with our own anxiety 31:32 Communicating with God and spouse about each child 33:42 Emotional presence at home 37:50 Expressing affection Ways to discuss magnanimity with your child: 40:00 Positive framework for “the talk” 40:52 Examples of virtue 44:36 Through sports 47:00 Dependable routines 47:50 Financial awareness 48:59 Forming a boy's intellect with conversation Your best resources: 51:38 Friendship with like-minded parents 52:14 Online resources, podcasts 52:52 Spiritual direction53:46 Hope in God's grace Also on the Forum: Magnanimity and the Great-Souled Man featuring Fr.

This week we feature a lecture by Fr. Carter Griffin, rector of the Saint John Paul II Seminary in Washington, D.C., to Heights Fathers on magnanimity.  This virtue calls us to stretch forth towards greatness, but with humility; to have an unshakable confidence in the victory of good over evil, but to walk slowly; to know ourselves to be loved by an all powerful father, but to be unmoved by either praise or slander.  As we help our sons to grow in virtue, Father Griffin encourages us, as fathers, to foster in ourselves this, the jewel of all the virtues which gives us confidence and certainty that God has a plan, and that we have a role in it.   Father Carter Griffin St. John Henry Newmann:  Warfare the Condition of Life St. Thomas Aquinas on Magnanimity https://www.newadvent.org/summa/3129.htm Teaching Through Immersion Workshop at Northridge Preparatory School June 17-21, 2024   Alexandre Havard on Magnanimity and Great Hearts

Scaling a company from $5M revenues to $50M to $250M isn't just about a great product. In fact, that's the easy part. Scaling a great team, which enables the business to scale, is far more difficult. So I sought out an expert to find out how it's done. Carter Griffin is General Partner of Updata Partners, the growth equity firm with $1 Billion in committed capital. He & team have invested in over 60 B2B software growth-stage companies. In short, he knows how to pour fuel on the fire when a company has $5M to 50M revenues. You know his investments. They include Built In, DataCore Software, Interactions LLC, Jellyvision, LendKey Technologies, Inc., Piano, Ruby. Scaling often comes down to the CEO (Carter likes to back “tenacious storytelling leaders”) Carter serves on the Board of Directors of Mindshare, a leading forum for 900 tech CEOs. He also serves on the Board of Directors of the Mid-Atlantic Venture Association In this 20-minute conversation, Carter reveals how he helps his portfolio companies put a Rockstar in every seat.

Carter Griffin est associé général chez Updata Partners, un fonds de capital-risque qui tire parti d'indicateurs clés et d'un cadre prédéterminé afin d'aider les entreprises de logiciels-services à croître de façon exponentielle. M. Griffin et Updata ont perfectionné ce cadre au fil des années en tant qu'entrepreneurs et investisseurs dans le domaine de la technologie. Le cadre repose sur l'analyse d'indicateurs précis qui aident à déterminer le RCI de certaines dépenses, le coût d'acquisition d'un client, mais surtout, les activités opérationnelles les plus rentables. Updata Partners aide les entreprises de logiciels-services en démarrage à réussir en comprenant leurs activités et en explorant de nouvelles façons d'analyser leurs données.Le logiciel-service est un modèle uniqueAux débuts de M. Griffin dans le secteur de la technologie, les logiciels étaient installés physiquement. Maintenant, ils sont hébergés dans le nuage. Updata a développé un cadre unique qui examine des centaines d'investissements potentiels et qui aide à évaluer la santé d'une entreprise. Quels indicateurs vous permettent de déterminer si votre entreprise de logiciel-service est financièrement viable? M. Griffin croit qu'il y en a deux d'essentiels.Le coût d'acquisition d'un client doit être calculé en détailBeaucoup d'entreprises de logiciels-services calculent leur coût d'acquisition d'un client en ne tenant compte que de la somme de leurs dépenses liées aux ventes et au marketing. Mais cela ne dit pas tout. Pour M. Griffin, l'efficacité du modèle d'affaires est bien plus importante que les écarts financiers habituels. Les entrepreneurs doivent inclure les coûts d'intégration et les dépenses courantes au coût d'acquisition afin de clairement cerner les mesures qu'ils peuvent prendre pour croître.Les logiciels dévorent (toujours) le mondeSelon M. Griffin, les secteurs de la technologie et des logiciels ont été parmi les moins touchés par la pandémie de COVID-19. Il ne s'attend pas à beaucoup de changements dans le monde des logiciels, mais cela ne veut certainement pas dire que nous devrions craindre pour leur avenir. M. Griffin considère les logiciels comme le secteur dominant de notre ère. Par conséquent, nous devons continuer à investir dans des entreprises novatrices et à favoriser le progrès. Services financiers Innovation CIBC est un partenaire financier de confiance pour les entrepreneurs et les investisseurs.

Carter Griffin is the general partner at Updata Partners, a company using key metrics to help SaaS companies scale their businesses exponentially using a predetermined framework. This is a framework that Carter and Updata have honed after years as technology entrepreneurs and investors. It’s based on analyzing specific metrics that help you better understand the ROI on certain expenditures, the cost of acquiring a customer, but most importantly which business activities are driving the best results. Updata Partners is helping SaaS startups find success through understanding their businesses and exploring new ways of analyzing their data. Software as a Service is a unique modelWhen Carter started working in technology, software companies were physically installing software. Now, it’s hosted in the cloud. Updata has created a unique framework that evaluates hundreds of potential investments and helps determine the health of a business. So what metrics help you determine if your SaaS business is financially viable? Carter believes there are two that matter the most. Customer acquisition cost needs to be a more in depth analysisMany SaaS businesses look at their customer acquisition cost by taking the sum of their sales and marketing expenses to acquire a new customer, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. Carter says looking at a business model’s efficiency is way more important than the standard gap financials. Onboarding and ongoing expenses need to be considered in the cost of acquisition to help entrepreneurs paint a clearer picture of their growth levers. Software is (still) eating the worldThe tech and software industries were some of the least affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Carter. He doesn’t anticipate much change for the software world, yet this certainly doesn’t mean it’s in trouble. Carter identifies software as the dominant sector in our lifetime, which is why it’s so important that we keep investing in innovative companies and driving progress. CIBC Innovation Banking is a trusted financial partner to entrepreneurs and investors.
