In light of Pope Leo XIV's canonization of the Catholic Church's two newest saints last week Sunday and due to other timely and relevant reasons you'll hear cited at the very start, this is a reissue of what was Episode 188, exactly three years ago this month. The now departed George Rose was the Executive Advisor of Pacific Rim Operations with the New York Yankees, which included having served as a Japanese translator for the likes of Hideki Irabu, Masahiro Tanaka, and Hideki Matsui, among others. He also served as an advisor for Japan's Yomiuri Giants baseball team. He was a board member of "Catholic Men for Jesus Christ," a more than 25-year old organization. He also had a radio show called, "Brothers in Arms," which he talked about here. And, he was a cancer survivor who by far was not only the first person to come on this show with a story about a miracle that would help confirm a saint, but probably the ONLY person who will be a guest and have that kind of witness to share -- the closest that any of us will come to hearing something like this firsthand.

An online forum thread sparked a firestorm when a young Catholic woman asked why so many Catholic men seemed to lack financial ambition while also desiring large families. Have we confused gospel poverty with financial irresponsibility?In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Jonathan and Amanda dig into the tension between faith, finances, and ambition.They explore what holy simplicity really means, why lack of financial formation creates painful realities for young Catholic families, and how men and women alike can discern career and family decisions responsibly. Whether you're single, newly married, or deep into family life, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to think differently about vocation, responsibility, and provision.

We live in a world that feels more divided than ever. Every issue seems split down the middle—until we discover what I call 100% issues: causes that no one can argue against. What if the Church set its sights on ending childhood hunger in America? What if Christians became known, once again, for living lives of staggering generosity? In this talk, I share how generosity can transform not only the Church but also the culture around us. You'll hear stories of priests, parishes, and ordinary people who discovered the freedom of trusting God more than money and the joy of giving beyond expectations. Generosity is not just about money—it's about time, encouragement, praise, and creativity. When we grow in generosity, we ignite the world with hope and faith.

Most Catholic men can recite the Sign of the Cross in their sleep. But do we truly grasp what we're invoking every time we say those words?Fr. Dom cuts through the confusion and calls Catholic men to stand firm in one of the most attacked and misunderstood dogmas of our faith: the Most Holy Trinity. From Scripture to heresy, from the Catechism to the Creed, this episode dives deep into why the Trinity is not just a theological concept—but the very heart of Christian manhood.We walk through salvation history, tracing how the Trinity was slowly unveiled, culminating in Pentecost when God fully revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is not just a mystery to study—it's a mystery to live. And in a world that mocks the sacred, we are challenged to reclaim our bold, public witness to this truth.Fr. Dom reminds us that every time we make the Sign of the Cross, we are drawing the sword of Christ's victory over Satan. Every confession, every Eucharist, every act of prayer—these are moments where we are in direct contact with the living Trinity.But how many men cower when it's time to make the Sign of the Cross in public?This episode issues a direct challenge: Catholic men must stop being ashamed of their faith. Stop being passive. Start embracing the power of the Trinity that was poured into your heart at baptism.Key Challenge Issued:“We must stop being ashamed of making the Sign of the Cross in public. The world needs to know who we are and what we stand for.”One Key Takeaway for Men: Begin and end your day making the Sign of the Cross slowly and reverently. Do it with conviction. Do it in public. Do it as if your soul depends on it—because it does.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Ever feel like you're giving your all to work, relationships, and personal goals, but treating your spiritual life like an afterthought?

As a former trial attorney who specialized in breaking down complicated concepts for juries, he now applies that same clarity to the spiritual journey – particularly focusing on confession and the Mass as the "one-two punch" of authentic faith.The conversation tackles a profound question: Why do we accept that every other area of life requires consistent effort – from weightlifting to career advancement – yet expect our souls to flourish without similar investment? Purchase "Prayers" For Catholic Men by Mike Pacer Contact Jack: info@jp2renew.orgJacks Latest Blog Young Men United in the Eucharist: Heroically Rebuilding the Three Necessary SocietiesFollow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalSubscribe to our Newly Resurrected YouTube Channel!Sign up for our Newsletter: https://jp2renew.org/Support the show

The Church has entered a historic moment—and you, Catholic man, have a mission. In this episode of The Manly Catholic, we reflect on the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American Pope in the history of the Church, and the profound implications this moment holds for Catholic men across the world. This isn't just a historical event—it's a spiritual challenge.With clarity, conviction, and a deep love for the Bride of Christ, Pope Leo XIV comes out of the gates with power. Drawing from the charism of the Augustinians and inspired by Pope Leo XIII, our new Holy Father is already taking bold, countercultural stands. In just his first week, he infallibly declared that marriage is between one man and one woman and proclaimed the family as the nucleus of civilization. He is not holding back—and neither should we.We are facing our own Industrial Revolution: Artificial Intelligence, the breakdown of the family, confusion about human identity and sexuality, and an increasing rejection of moral truth. But like Pope Leo XIII before him, Leo XIV is standing in the breach—and he's calling us to do the same.Key Takeaway: Live your faith publicly and boldly. Do not hide behind silence or comfort. Proclaim Christ with your life, especially in your home. Begin by strengthening your marriage and leading your family in sacrificial love. That is where the Church is rebuilt.References & Products Mentioned:Pope Leo XIII's encyclicals, especially Rerum NovarumThe St. Michael the Archangel PrayerSt. Augustine's quote: “Our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”The “Room of Tears” tradition in papal historyThe Gospel of John 13:34–35Catechism of the Catholic Church (sections on papal infallibility, marriage, and the Church)Final Charge: Pope Leo XIV isn't waiting around—and neither can you. Catholic man, your home is your mission field. Your vocation is your battlefield. And your courage, forged in love, is the weapon that will rebuild the Church.Send us a text Support the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

The current crisis of masculinity is rampant in our society, but few have responded to this cultural moment like Mike Pacer in his new book “Prayers for Catholic Men.” Instead of encouraging men to simply gut it out and take responsibility, Mike encourages men to fall on their knees, and he provides them with the resources to encounter God in a meaningful and profound way. “Prayers for Catholic Men” not only teaches men how to pray, but it provides many unique and personal prayers that men at any stage in their life will resonate with. In this episode, Andrew Petiprin sits down with Mike Pacer to talk about the common struggles men encounter when praying and what resources they can use to strengthen their spiritual life.   Get Your Copy of “Prayers for Catholic Men”: https://ignatius.com/prayers-for-catholic-men-prcmp/   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The human heart has an extraordinary capacity for resilience. Even in our current era—where young men grow up bombarded by toxic influences that rob their innocence and shatter their moral imagination—something remarkable is happening. They're awakening to the sacred.Mike Pacer, president of Five Stones and author of "Prayers for Catholic Men," joins Jack to explore how prayer is transforming young men's lives against all cultural odds. Pacer shares his own journey of faith—leaving behind a successful career as a trial attorney when God simply said "leave"—and how surrendering to divine guidance led him to a more authentic life.The conversation centers around three foundational spiritual practices for men: beginning each day on your knees in surrender to God, viewing temptation as an invitation to prayer rather than a cause for shame, and committing to love the next person you encounter. These simple yet powerful habits create a framework for spiritual growth amid today's distractions.Purchase "Prayers" For Catholic Men by Mike Pacer Contact Jack: info@jp2renew.orgJacks Blog on Substack: https://johnpauliirenewal.substack.com/If you're interested in being a sponsor of the Become Who You Are Podcast, please email us at Info@JP2Renew.orgSupport the show, Sign up for our Newsletter: https://jp2renew.org/Support the show

Who gets your first thought?In this episode, we talk:How a simple prayer transforms chaos into missionWhat the Catechism and saints like St. Josemaría Escrivá and St. John Paul II say about sanctifying daily lifeWhy your morning routine determines whether you're leading your family—or being led by the noiseHow even one intentional prayer can rewire your day and sharpen your focusI walk you through the traditional Morning Offering and share flexible ways to make it your own—no excuses. I also challenge every man listening: Plant your flag for Christ the moment your day begins.Stop surviving your mornings.

Ever wonder what it takes to stand firm when life throws chaos your way? In this episode of The Manly Catholic, we unpack Saint Joseph's title "Joseph Most Faithful" in our Lenten series. This isn't about Sunday lip service—Joseph lived a trust in God that didn't crack. For Catholic men, it's a wake-up call: faithfulness isn't a feeling, it's a choice. Push play to see how Joseph's steel resolve can fire up your vocation.He didn't bail when it got messy; he trusted God's wild plan. Are you faithful to your mission, men? To your wife, kids, parish? If you're not praying for them daily, you're dropping the ball. Life's a roller coaster—job's dull, marriage stalls, prayer's dry—but Joseph says hold the line. Faithfulness fights demons and builds heaven.Your challenge today: pray five minutes for your vocation. Married? Pray for your family. Discerning? Seek clarity. No excuses—do it.

What if obedience isn't weakness, but a superpower? In this episode of The Manly Catholic, we dive into Saint Joseph's title "Joseph Most Obedient" during our Lenten series. For Catholic men, this episode reframes obedience as strength, not submission, challenging us to align our will with God's. Hit play to explore how Joseph's unwavering trust can transform your vocation—whether husband, father, priest, or discerner.Joseph was a man of action, leading his family through danger, returning to Nazareth on God's word. No whining, no negotiating—just action. Obedience wasn't a one-off for Joseph; it was his daily yes to God. I ask you: Are you obedient to your calling? Husbands, to your wives? Fathers, to your kids? Priests, to your flock? If not, we're failing. This isn't about being a doormat—it's about choosing God over ego, passions, or unjust laws.Your challenge today, men: sit with God for two minutes. Ask through Joseph's intercession, “Lord, how can I be obedient to my vocation—or discern it—today?” Listen, act, start now. Lent's our shot to grow into men like Joseph.

Sounds like it's weakness... But for Joseph, it's the opposite. It's actually his superpower.""Every time God speaks, Joseph moves... He didn't hesitate. He didn't whine about it... He just said yes. That is strength, man.""We are going to be obedient to something in this life. What is it going to be? Are you going to be obedient to God? ... God will never call you to do something contrary to his will."Say yes to God's call without delay. Joseph didn't stall when God spoke—he acted. Next time you feel that nudge—forgive, step up, ditch a habit—don't negotiate. Pray, trust, and move.

Fr. Meyer challenges us to confront a fundamental question: “Who do you say that I am?” In this powerful homily from the E6 Catholic Men's Conference, he shares his personal reflections on how many of us may have misunderstood Jesus, particularly in the context of our Catholic faith. He explores the differences between Catholic and Protestant views of Jesus and encourages men to reexamine their faith practices, from fasting to prayer, and align their lives more closely with how Jesus lived. This homily is a call to rediscover the fullness of our faith and to live as true disciples of Christ. Watch now for an inspiring reflection on who Jesus is and how we are called to respond.

Thank you all for your patience last week with the episode. It's all gonna be worth it for this episode right here with Alex otherwise known as the Voice Of Reason. Now I'm sure there are gonna be plenty of more new faces around here considering Alex has a huge platform and this is gonna be the first time that you're seeing me around here but let me introduce myself. My name is Isaac Padilla. I'm the host of The Catholic Warrior Podcast and on this episode and I am a Catholic Men's Fitness Coach I wanted to get to know Alex on a more personal level than what you normally see of him. I actually told Alex before we filmed that this would be his Joe Rogan type of podcast. I had no prior questions ready nothing is scripted. We just had a conversation as men. This isn't the normal Voice Of Reason that you're used to seeing about apologetics or theology or battling protestants even though I think that's amazing and I love to watch him own all of them. In this episode, you will learn more about who Alex is. Alex grew up three hours north of my hometown in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He mentioned to me that he felt a specific call towards the priesthood at a very early age. He was even a seminarian. We continue to talk about the fact that he was a well trained fighter, and even a professional actor that starred in the spin of series of the famous show Breaking Bad “Better Call Saul” (they made him the Mexican cartel dude.. smh) it is an episode full of two Nuevo Mexico boys who are rough around the edges, that gave everything for God. We have that in common more than anything else. Enjoy and God bless you. Viva Cristo Rey!New Episodes Every Sunday Join The Catholic Warrior Coaching Program: https://www.catholicwarriorfitness.com/ Send us your questions and/or topic & episode recommendations here: catholicwarriorfitness@gmail.comWatch Episodes here:    / @catholicwarriorpodcast  Follow us on Instagram:   / catholicwarriorpodcast

Romantic love (Eros) is everywhere—movies, music, social media. But our culture twists it, reducing it to fleeting passion, self-gratification, and empty pleasure. In this episode, we reclaim Eros for what it truly is—a God-given force meant to lead us to self-giving love, commitment, and holiness.I break down:How Eros, when rightly ordered, reflects God's covenant love.Why the hookup culture and pornography industry are destroying authentic masculinity.The danger of unrealistic expectations in marriage (yes, even The Bachelor is part of the problem).How men must slay the dragon of lust and lead their relationships with virtue.The one decision my wife and I made that eliminated divorce from our marriage—permanently.Men, Eros is not the enemy. But it must be redeemed, purified, and placed at the service of something higher. Today, I'll show you how.
