Podcast appearances and mentions of devin schadt

Most husbands love their wives and are trying to do their best, yet many still make hidden mistakes that quietly convince her she isn't loved. These aren't failures of bad men, but blind spots of good men who don't realize how their actions (or inactions) land. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt expose the unseen ways husbands lose their wives' hearts and reveal a path toward lasting love and trust. With Scripture, Catholic wisdom, and real experience, they challenge men to grow into the husbands they are called to be. If you've ever wondered why your wife doesn't always feel cherished, even when you're trying, this conversation is for you.

Is it lust or love? Many men are looking for a cure for lust and often think that marriage will cure it, only to discover the struggle follows them into married life. The truth is, marriage doesn't magically cure lust. If you battled it before, you'll still battle it after. Marriage doesn't change the interior dispositions and temptations of man. Love does. In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John Heinen and Devin Schadt expose one of the most misunderstood realities in marriage: the difference between lust and love. Wives know the difference, and they can feel when they are cherished and when they are being used. And if men don't learn this distinction, it erodes trust, poisons communication, and slowly kills intimacy.

Men underestimate the war being waged against them. The Devil doesn't just tempt from a distance; he enters your home, seeking to pull you off your vocation as a husband and father, drown out the voice of God, and divide your marriage. Scripture, the saints, and even modern exorcists confirm it: this is how the enemy works. Yet the vast majority of men are unarmed and frankly unaware. Only 5–10% of Catholic men are even praying daily. Is it any wonder the family is crumbling? In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt break open The Rule to expose three subtle but devastating ways demons attack men. We'll name what's really happening, why it matters for husbands and fathers, and how you can resist.

In this compelling episode of the Respect Life Radio podcast, Devin Schadt of the Fathers of St. Joseph apostolate invites men into a transformative journey guided by the quiet strength of St. Joseph. Drawing on his apostolate's four pillars—embrace silence, embrace woman, embrace the child, and embrace charitable authority—Schadt presents a spirituality of fatherhood that equips men to deeply understand and live out their roles as husbands and fathers. These pillars become channels through which fathers embody the face, touch, and voice of the Heavenly Father—especially critical for men seeking a deeper understanding of their role within the Holy Family's model of love. This episode also shines a spotlight on Schadt's recent handbook, The Rule: Counsels and Directives for Husbands and Fathers. It distills practical spiritual guidance into short, powerful meditations—rooted in the four pillars of St. Joseph—to help men pray more deliberately, affirm their wives spiritually and emotionally, reflect the Father's heart to their children and stay vigilant against spiritual threats. It is a must-listen for any man wrestling with what it means to be a husband or father in a faith-filled way. It offers both theologic depth and actionable wisdom grounded in the humble, hidden strength of St. Joseph—faithfully capturing the vocation of earthly fathers who reflect heavenly love.  To purchase Devin's book and to learn more visit: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule/?srsltid=AfmBOorNHpas8te1UW8-xAuQ4dQLFjLvt2w0qg4so-4K9GNK00mvjFoF

Many husbands confuse authority with control, and it's slowly killing trust in their marriages. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt unpack why your wife resists your leadership, how control is a counterfeit of true authority, and why authority, rightly lived, is a God-given responsibility that blesses and gives life. You'll hear practical examples of the appropriate use of authority versus control over your spouse in spiritual life, finances, and parenting, along with the deeper fears that drive men to dominate or withdraw. Most importantly, you'll learn how to lead with sacrificial love, preserve your wife's dignity and free will, and rebuild trust even when your leadership has been rejected.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by former Protestant pastor Keith Nester and author and speaker Devin Schadt to discuss the process of Catholic conversion from two sides of the same story.In a first for this podcast we unfold the narrative of a Catholic conversion–Keith's conversion, in this case–from two different perspectives; from the perspective of the Catholic loving and practising and sharing their faith, and from the side of the skeptical Protestant doing the exact same thing on the other end. You'll hear how these two friends journeyed together, how they used apologetics, how they argued and debated and nearly got arrested one time, but how the Holy Spirit ultimately used Devin's witness, and their friendship, to convince Keith of the truth of the ancient Catholic faith.It is an incredible story and a real privilege to share it with you.

What is micro cheating? (3:32) Devin Schadt joins Trending with Timmerie discussing: Why is physical intimacy a core need for a husband? (23:44) 3 phases of a man. (29:02) Resources mentioned: Devin Schadt – Fathers of St. Joseph https://fathersofstjoseph.org/

Many men think staying in the marriage is enough. They don't cheat, they provide, they avoid conflict, but is this all there is to marriage? In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt expose the silent drift that leads so many marriages to die long before anyone leaves. They unpack what 73% of divorcing couples identify as the root issue, and redefine it in light of Scripture, covenant commitment, and the honest purpose of marriage. The conversation dives deep into what it truly means to lead, to suffer with, and to sanctify through your vocation as a husband. If your marriage feels stunted, strained, or disconnected, let's discuss how marriage can be your ultimate glory.

What do you do when every conversation with your wife seems to go sideways, even when you're trying to do the right thing? John Heinen and Devin Schadt sit down to expose the hidden habits that slowly destroy communication within marriages. With spiritual clarity and lived experience, they unpack how small patterns, like avoidance, assumptions, or rushed “fixes/hacks", can consistently unravel trust between husband and wife. Instead of playing defense, this episode shows men 5 ways to take responsibility for the tone, clarity, and direction of the most important conversations in their home. We discuss how resentment breeds in the silent darkness of unmet needs. Because a Catholic husband doesn't just talk, he leads. And that starts with the next conversation.

Why are 85% of Catholic children walking away from the Faith, even after years of weekly Mass, sacraments, and for many, Catholic school and youth group? John Heinen sits down with Devin Schadt to expose what parents today have been missing and why the solution is found inside the home. With wisdom drawn from recent studies, Church teaching, and personal experience, they reveal the one secret that thriving Catholic families have that others miss entirely. These families do not have children leaving the Faith when they go off to college, and actually, the reverse is happening. Instead of just doing more religious practices, this episode invites men to build something deeper: a Catholic family culture rooted in warmth, tenderness, and order. Devin and John break down how your family's core values, a family personality, and devotional life can become the shield that protects your children from spiritual collapse. And they share practical steps, beginning with one conversation with your wife that needs to happen immediately.

What happens when your wife begins to pull away, and you can't figure out why? What's more is that everything you do to help fix the situation seems to fall short. John Heinen and Devin Schadt discuss the hidden physical, spiritual, and emotional forces that quietly fracture Catholic marriages. Drawing on Scripture, theology, and hard-won experience, they reveal how isolation, resentment, and the demons can slowly unravel trust and intimacy. Instead of ignoring the drift, they unpack five subtle dynamics that sabotage unity and show how to reclaim authentic headship rooted in sacrifice, courage, and clarity. If you've felt the distance and wondered how to bridge it, this conversation will equip you to lead with confidence and rediscover the peace, trust, and communion God intends for your marriage.

What if the most important spiritual formation in your child's life isn't happening at church—but at your dinner table? Today, John Heinen and Devin Schadt discuss how family dinner has quietly lost its soul—and how fathers must bring it back, not just as a routine, but as a call and obligation. The culture has shaped the dinner table into what we commonly see today on TV. It is failing at its core mission to be a cornerstone of a thriving family. This isn't about Pinterest-perfect meals or polite conversation. It's about forming identity, memory, and virtue in the chaos of real life. John and Devin share how their own families bring structure and meaning to mealtime—from the nightly “Good Thing, Difficult Thing, Random Thing” ritual to coaching kids through cleanup as a form of love and responsibility.

What happens when the child you love won't speak to you anymore? When the hurt runs deep—and it's your fault? John Heinen and Devin Schadt go deep into one of the hardest realities a Catholic father can face: seeking forgiveness from a child who's been wounded by your failure. Drawing from personal experience, they walk through the steps of Recognize, Repair, and Rebuild—offering practical and spiritual insight for men who want to restore trust without forcing the outcome. This truth works for children from 18 months to adulthood. This isn't a quick fix. It's a call to live with humility, pursue the heart of your child, and become the kind of father they can one day forgive—even if they never say the words.

Every man fights invisible battles—fear, self-doubt, shame, and the lies he tells himself over and over about who he is and what he is good at. In this episode, John Heinen sits down with Devin Schadt to expose the real front line of spiritual warfare and personal growth: your thoughts. Together, they unpack how negative thinking becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, why social media magnifies feelings of inadequacy, and how unchecked mental habits shrink your brain and strangle your soul. With raw honesty and practical wisdom, John and Devin walk through a three-step battle plan rooted in Scripture and backed by neuroscience-to help you take control of your thoughts, hold them captive, and experience the freedom, success, and joy God intends for your life. As Devin says, “The very fact that those thoughts make you feel bad… is proof that you're good.” This episode will equip you to stop living in fear and start thinking with clarity, truth, and power.

What happens when more boys have smartphones than fathers in their homes? A groundbreaking UK research study called 'Lost Boys' has revealed alarming trends about young men today. John Heinen and Devin Schadt welcome back three-time guest Jim O'Day to respond to and unpack this landmark research and its implications. Together, they examine how the critical absence of male role models—particularly fathers—is creating a generation of directionless young men. The conversation highlights shocking statistics: women in their 20s are consistently out-earning their male counterparts, and young men are afraid to talk to women. The trio explores how fatherlessness, education failures, technology addiction, pornography exposure, and society's ignoring of men are ruining the future of humanity. While secular solutions continue to fall short, John, Devin, and Jim present both immediate interventions and long-term approaches rooted in timeless Catholic wisdom. Don't miss this essential conversation about reclaiming authentic masculinity for the next generation.

What starts as a small vice for men spirals into continuous sin, addiction, and spiritual destruction. Today, John Heinen and Devin Schadt tackle three devastating habits that plague virtually every man's journey. They reveal the surprising connection between self-perception and our most dangerous tendencies, showing how both thinking too little and too much of ourselves leads down identical paths to self-destruction. With brutal honesty from their own experiences, John and Devin offer a practical and simple framework for understanding and conquering these universal male struggles before they consume your life, relationships, and soul. Every man needs these insights for the battles in his life.

Timmerie talks about a viral rant from influencer Paige Connell: a mom, wife, and full-time working woman who aired out her frustrations online. And yep, she admits that she thought about divorce. Over what, you ask? The dishwasher. The trash. And kids' backpacks. But hang tight, because this conversation is about way more than chores. Check out the whole episode! The Mental Load Is Real… But Let’s Unpack It Paige’s viral video blew up because so many women felt it: the overwhelm, the exhaustion, the invisible to-do list that’s constantly running in your head like a browser with 27 open tabs. She shared how, despite having a good husband (like, objectively... a helpful, kind, involved dad), she still felt unseen and completely burned out. She became the project manager of her home, and it crushed her. One day she snapped: “I can’t do it all!” Honestly, she’s not wrong to feel the weight. But... Timmerie & Devin Schadt's Take Timmerie brings in Devin Schadt, founder of Fathers of St. Joseph, to give the Catholic hot take. Marriage Isn’t About “Equity”. It’s About Sacrifice Modern feminism says: everything needs to be 50/50. Equal chore charts. Equal mental load. Equal everything. Catholic teaching says: umm, nope. Marriage isn’t math... it’s a mission. Sometimes one gives 20%, the other gives 80%. It’s messy, but it’s sacred. And equity doesn't work when people have different capacities, seasons, or actual roles. The Perceived Problem vs. Reality Paige’s husband was helping. But he wasn’t anticipating or planning the way she did, so she felt disrespected. Devin points out: she didn’t want just help. She wanted him to read her mind, project-manage the house, and know what she needed without being told. That’s not partnership... it’s pressure. The Social Media Landscape Devin doesn’t mince words: blasting your spouse online is a total fail. Paige basically emasculated her husband in front of millions. She turned a cry for help into a public shaming moment... and that’s not love. That’s venting turned viral. Real respect is saying, "I believe in you. I know you can do this.” That’s what lifts men up and actually inspires them to step up more. And Now, the Deeper Stuff… We're in a culture that worships comfort and runs from sacrifice. People bail on marriage when it gets hard, thinking they can find someone better. Catholic marriage is unitive, procreative, and redemptive. It’s designed to purify us from selfishness and lead us to heaven. Devin says this: “The pain of loving someone sacrificially… is the pain of selfishness leaving the soul.” Final Thoughts from Timmerie & Devin: Ladies, your worth is not in your ability to do it all. Men, you’re called to serve heroically, not just “help out.” Marriage isn’t about keeping score... it’s about laying your life down. Kids are not just a task to be accomplished. They’re eternal souls we’re forming. They need us, not just our productivity. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt stretched too thin in marriage or parenting. It’s a wake-up call to stop chasing Pinterest-perfect balance and start living out the messy, beautiful, sacrificial love that Christ modeled. So… what’s your take? Ever felt the “mental load”? Do you think marriage should be “equal,” or something better? Share this with a friend who’s drowning in laundry and wondering if they're the only one.

As fathers of seven daughters between them, John Heinen and Devin Schadt understand the vital importance of authentic fatherhood. Statistics show girls without proper paternal presence are 4x more likely to face teen pregnancy, 2x more likely to battle depression, and a staggering 6x more likely to attempt suicide. Many end up trapped in cycles of toxic relationships. But what if there are three simple yet profound messages every daughter needs to hear from her father? Today, John and Devin share these transformative affirmations they've discovered through years of fatherhood - three powerful truths that help fathers reflect God's love, nurture their daughters' wholeness, and equip them for confident, fulfilling lives. Discover these essential insights every father needs to implement.
