Podcasts about virtues

Friends of the Rosary,The Catholic Church celebrates today, September 29, the Feast of the venerated archangels Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.Michael (who is like God?) was the archangel who fought against Satan and all his evil angels, defending all God's friends. He is the protector of all humanity from the snares of the devil.Gabriel (Strength of God) announced to Zachariah the forthcoming birth of John the Baptist, and to Mary, the birth of Jesus, with his greeting to the Virgin, "Hail, full of grace."Raphael (Medicine of God) is the archangel who cared for Tobias on his journey.The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us that, "The existence of the spiritual, non-corporeal beings that Sacred Scripture usually calls 'angels' is a truth of faith. The witness of Scripture is as clear as the unanimity of Tradition. In her liturgy, the Church joins with the angels to adore the thrice-holy God." (#328).Angels are pure, created spirits, servants or messengers of God. They are heavenly beings of a higher order than human beings. Angels have no bodies and do not depend on matter for their existence or activity. They are distinct from saints, which men can become. Angels have intellect and will, and are immortal. They are a vast multitude, but each is an individual person.Archangels are one of the nine choirs of angels listed in the Bible. In ascending order, the choirs or classes are 1) Angels, 2) Archangels, 3) Principalities, 4) Powers, 5) Virtues, 6) Dominations, 7) Thrones, 8) Cherubim, and 9) Seraphim.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

This week on Respect Life Radio, host Deacon Geoff welcome Catholic historian, author and educator Phillip Campbell. Phillip is the author of TAN Books' popular Story of Civilization series, a four-volume Catholic history curriculum that brings the stories of the past to life through the lens of faith. He has taught history, Scripture and other subjects to homeschool students and has written extensively on the Catholic Church, the saints and the lessons of history. In his recent Catholic Exchange article, “The Shepherd Cannot Run: The Life and Virtues of Bl. Stanley Rother,” Phillip explores the inspiring life of Blessed Stanley Rother, an American priest and missionary who gave his life in service to the people of Guatemala. Through the witness of this courageous shepherd, we are reminded of the call to faithful service, sacrificial love and the courage to remain with those entrusted to our care. Join us for a meaningful conversation on the life of Blessed Stanley Rother, the importance of courageous discipleship and what his example teaches us about living out our Catholic faith.

In 1 Timothy 3, Paul gives Timothy a picture of the qualities that should characterize Christian leaders: integrity, hospitality, wisdom, gentleness, self-control, and a good reputation both inside and outside the church. Today we consider what those qualities might mean for Christian leadership in our own time, especially in an age of social media influencers and outrage-driven conversations. Is being combative really a sign of faithfulness? What if the church valued gentleness and empathy as much as it values having the “right” answers? Paul reminds us that our witness matters—and that the way we treat people outside the church is part of how we show them the love of a God they cannot see.Join us for our daily reflections.

With an explosive offense and a star quarterback, the Chicago Bears have high hopes for a deep playoff run this year. But will Caleb Williams' hamstring injury put a damper on the team's promising season? We're sitting down with Kevin Fishbain, a senior writer at The Athletic who covers the Bears, to check on one of the highest-ceiling teams in the league.Then, we're going to talk about something that most elite athletes never even allow themselves to consider: quitting. Lael Wilcox is an ultra-distance cyclist who became the fastest woman to ride her bike around the world in 2024. This summer she wanted to try for the men's record too, and become the fastest person to cycle around the world.

How did Lael make the tough decision to stop, and what good came out of it?Show Notes Lael Rides Around the World | Full Film Why is the heat in Europe so deadly? | CBS Evening News So you want to ride around the world? | Cyclist Listen to Lael Wilcox's podcast Lael Rides Around the World Listen to Kevin Fishbain's podcast Breaking In With Kevin Fishbain Show CreditsHost: David GreeneExecutive Producers: Joan Isabella, Tom GrahslerSenior Producer: Michael OlcottProducer: Michaela WinbergAssociate Producer: Bibiana CorreaTalent Booker: Britt KahnEngineers: Mike VillersTile Art: Bea WallingTheme Song: Emma MungerSports in America is a production of WHYY, distributed by PRX, and part of the NPR podcast network.

Why should we care about prudence? Isn't prudence really just a lack of acting? Surely, it can't be too important! Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange, of course, disagrees! Join us as we discuss the necessity of prudence in every single action, how imprudence leads to very grave sins, and why none of the virtues would work without prudence.

4th Step – On Obedience The Ladder of Divine Ascent was written primarily for monks. However, the words of Saint John Climacus at the beginning of the first chapter indicate that his intention is to address every person who longs for salvation. He says: “The gates of eternal life are open to all. The goal of our life is to follow Christ and to become like Him in His divine love.” The reflections offered here are intended as preparation for formation meetings. They focus on the teaching of Saint John Climacus about the stages of spiritual ascent, which we find in his famous work, The Ladder.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Pulitzer Prize winner Carl Dennis about his collection, Earthly Virtues (Penguin Random House, 2026). Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Carl Dennis explores the expansiveness and complexity of universal virtues within the realm of the everyday in this thought-provoking new collection Though most of the virtues that interest Carl Dennis in Earthly Virtues have traditional names, they are provided with contexts that give them fresh implications, moving us in two directions at once, toward a recognition of limits and a recognition of possibilities. On one hand, they confront what it means to lack the knowledge and power we need to make our lives as consequential as we may want them to be. On the other, they reach out to widen the circle of our concern, suggesting a kinship of the local with the distant, enlarging the passing moment with history and prophecy. Wherever the poems turn, they prove spacious enough to take us with them, and they leave us grateful for the journey.Carl Dennis is the author of fourteen books of poetry, most recently Earthborn (2022). A winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Ruth Lilly Prize, he taught for many years in the English Department of the State University of New York, and in the Warren Wilson Writing Program in North Carolina. He lives in Buffalo, New York.Hollay Ghadery is an award-winning Iranian-Canadian multi-genre writer living in Ontario on Anishinaabe land. She has her MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Guelph. Fuse, her memoir of mixed-race identity and mental health, was released by Guernica Editions in 2021 and won the 2023 Canadian Bookclub Award for Nonfiction/Memoir. Her collection of poetry, Rebellion Box was released by Radiant Press in 2023, and her collection of short fiction, Widow Fantasies, was released with Gordon Hill Press in fall 2024 and was longlisted for the Toronto Book Award. Her debut novel, The Unraveling of Ou, was released with Palimpsest Press in 2026, and her children's book, Being with the Birds, with Guernica Editions in 2027. Hollay is a host on The New Books Network, as well as a co-host on HOWL on CIUT 89.5 FM. She is also a book publicist, the Founder of River Street, and the co-chair of the League of Canadian Poets BIPOC committee, as well as the Poet Laureate of Scugog Township. She is also a member of The National Book Critics Circle, The Creative Nonfiction Collective, and The Writers Union of Canada. Learn more about Hollay at www.hollayghadery.com.

Send us Fan MailSteven Pressfield is the reason a generation of leaders finally put a name on the enemy inside them.He called it Resistance — capital R. The force that stops the founder from starting, the writer from writing, the leader from leading. He gave the language for it in The War of Art, and he's been at the desk fighting it every Wednesday for over 50 years. He's the author of Gates of Fire — required reading at West Point, Annapolis, and on the Marine Commandant's list — The Legend of Bagger Vance, Tides of War, The Virtues of War, A Man at Arms, and his newest work released this past May, The Arcadian, a novel following Telamon the immortal mercenary through fifteenth-century Spain and the central question: does justice exist in this world?At 82 years old, Pressfield still shows up. Every Wednesday. That is the discipline this episode is about.In this conversation, Josh Kosnick and Steven go into:• Resistance, capital R — what it is, how it shows up on a Tuesday morning, and how to recognize it before it wins• Steven's daily ritual after five decades of fighting Resistance — and how he shuts it off at the end of the day• The Legend of Bagger Vance — what it's like to have your work adopted by Hollywood• Gates of Fire and why military academies keep coming back to it — what civilian leaders miss• The Spartan covenant between mother and son — “come back with this or on it” — and what it teaches a modern leader about standards• The professional vs. the amateur — the single most important difference, and how a founder knows which side of the line they're standing on• Telamon and The Arcadian — what a hero carrying a centuries-old curse teaches a leader who is tired of dragging his own• Does justice exist in this world — where Steven has landed after 40 years of writing about war and virtue• AI and the writing world — what a legendary author sees coming for creativity• Writing Wednesdays — the discipline that keeps an 82-year-old at the desk• The one Spartan virtue Steven would install in every American boardroom tomorrow• Steven's unpopular belief — the answer to Josh's signature closing questionJosh's on-mic acknowledgment: The Kairos Code was directly shaped by The War of Art. Steven's language of Resistance, the unlived life, and the professional/amateur distinction runs through Josh's work — and this episode is Josh giving public credit to the man who gave him the language.CHAPTERS________________00:00 Intro01:04 Spartan mythology and the War of Art — the bridge for an operator02:27 Resistance, capital R — naming the enemy inside05:42 Steven's daily ritual after 50 years of fighting Resistance07:36 How Steven shuts it off at the end of the day10:17 The Legend of Bagger Vance and Hollywood13:33 Gates of Fire — why military academies require it16:52 What civilian leaders miss about the Spartans19:23 What drew Steven to Spartan culture in the first place22:34 The Shield — “come back with this or on it”27:16 The professional and the amateur — the line30:37 The Arcadian — Telamon and the curse a leader carries34:45 Does justice exist in this world36:06 This life or the next37:20 A word for the Christian operator39:42 AI and the future of writing45:55 Writing Wednesdays — the 82-year-old discipline51:02 The one Spartan virtue for every American boardroom54:35 Steven's unpopular belief55:13 Where to find Steven's workFOLLOW STEVEN PRESSFIELDWebsite & Writing Wednesdays: https://stevenpressfield.comThe Arcadian (2026, Norton): available wherever books are soldThe War of Art — the book every operator needs on their deskGates of Fire — the Spartan novel required at West Point, Annapolis, and by the Marine CommandantSUBSCRIBE TO SPARTAN LEADERSHIPhttps://www.youtube.com/@spartanleadershippodcast?sub_confirmation=1FOLLOW JOSH KOSNICKWebsite: https://joshkosnick.comThe Kairos Code (book + audiobook): https://joshkosnick.com/thekairoscodeBridge Builder Mastermind: https://www.joshkosnick.com/mastermindRate and review the Spartan Leadership Podcast wherever you listen.

In Tinseltown, internships often come with the prospect of your fate being tied to how your answer a phone and your acumen for running errands at very same time. When it comes to interning at a comedy at a theater, the responsibilities run different, but it doesn't mean that you're hustling any iota less. We chat with Lyric Hyperion's brand new intern, the bright and ambitious Brady Smith, on hitting the ground running in LA while studying up at Emerson's LA campus and interning at the wondrous, wildly varied nights at Lyric Hyperion on this week's TCB Field Report.

Classical Christian schools strive to form students in virtue. That's great in theory, but what about the practical training today's kids need for an uncertain future? Turns out nothing is more useful than virtue: the intellectual and personal skills needed to become mature, versatile, and effective adults.  How does that work? Dr. Kevin Clark, a renowned author and educational leader, joins us in this friendly guide to Classical Christian Education.   Show notes:  To learn more about Dr. Clark's book, see The Liberal Arts Tradition: A Philosophy of Christian Classical Education .

In the chaotic times in which we live, how can we navigate through its darkness? Where can we find the light of true wisdom? Where can we find rest for our souls? Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and YOU SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy, and My load is light.”Jesus also tells us He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. And by being in Christ, we have been declared righteous. We are on the path of righteousness, and, "...the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,             That shines brighter and brighter until the full day" (Proverbs 4:18). By not leaning on our own understanding, by trusting in the Lord with all of our hearts, we act virtuously and shine as lights in a dark world. But even our virtuous acts are all of grace (Ephesians 2:8-10).

By his Spirit, God fashions us into his likeness as we behold his glory in his Son

In a world that often seems to be chaotically out of control, in a world of an endless cacophony of competing  voices, in a world that encourages us to do whatever we want, in a world that relentlessly encourages us to pursue our own interests and desires, how can we possibly even begin to "live well"? What does that mean? Is it pursuing personal peace and affluence? The perfect job? The perfect spouse? The right college? The right neighborhood? Our guest this week on the Profile, Dr. Alan Noble of Oklahoma Baptist University, has written a helpful little guide that answers these and other questions about what it means for Christians to live well. This is not a self-help book or a name-it-and-claim-it prosperity treatise, but an invitation to meditate upon and pursue the ancient virtues. Noble does not advocate that we are earning God's favor by pursuing the virtues. Rather, because we are made righteous in Christ, we have the freedom in Christ to pursue patience, wisdom, charity, love, courage, and resoluteness. The pursuit of virtue is not dry religious legalism, but an adventure, accomplished by and through the Holy Spirit.

Harry Sidebottom describes the reality of Roman gladiators, noting they were often heavy-set due to a carbohydrate-rich diet designed to provide protective fat. These fighters were glamorous figures who enacted Roman virtues of courage and physical strength for the public. While many were slaves or prisoners, others were free men who volunteered to escape grinding poverty. Most gladiators fought only once or twice a year, with a survival rate of roughly seven in eight. The segment also notes a rare historical instance where a Roman audience felt sympathy for elephants being massacred in the arena. (5)

Most Enneagram teaching is very good at describing what's wrong with you. This episode is about what's right. Every Enneagram type has a Passion — the chief emotional distortion the ego runs when it's disconnected from its truest self. Anger for the One. Pride for the Two. Deceit for the Three. Each of the nine types has one, and most of us have spent a lot of energy trying to manage ours without quite knowing what it is. But every type also has a Virtue. Not a moral achievement you add on top — a quality that naturally arises in the heart when the Passion loosens its grip. Serenity. Humility. Authenticity. Equanimity. Non-Attachment. Courage. Sobriety. Innocence. Right Action. These aren't things you build. They're things that emerge when you stop being in the way of yourself. In this final episode of the Enneagram Essentials series, Anthony and I walk through all nine Passions and their corresponding Virtues. I share what Equanimity feels like in my own life as a Four — when I manage to access it — and we close with two honest answers to the question of how any of this actually becomes real: contemplative practice, and a particular kind of willingness to stop running from pain. This is a hopeful episode. Everything in the series has been building toward this. The Enneagram has always been pointing here.   This is Episode 5 of 5 in the Enneagram Essentials series. All five episodes are available now wherever you listen to Typology.   RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:  The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron  The Story of You by Ian Morgan Cron Enneagram Assessment | Find Your Type Ian's speaking and organizational work   Follow Ian on Instagram | Facebook | TikTok | YouTube

Steven Pressfield is the author of over twenty books of fiction and nonfiction. Two themes emerge from his writings: self-help and creativity, and historical fiction and war. He wrote “The Legend of Bagger Vance”, which in 2000 was made into a major motion picture directed by Robert Redford and starring Will Smith, Matt Damon and Charlize Theron. He also wrote “Gates of Fire”, and “The Virtues of War” among others. “The War Of Art” focuses on procrastination. His works are widely read in military, creative, and leadership communities for their insights into discipline, resistance, and courage. He's a former Marine and a longtime student of classical history. He's known for blending historical accuracy with storytelling and philosophy. His newest book is “The Arcadian”. It's set in Spain and deals with the moral and spiritual costs of war. Which is particularly relevant today. My featured song is “Rough Rider”, one of my recent singles.

According to Dr. Yoram Hazony, chairman of the Edmund Burke Foundation, it has led us to the place we are today where Neo-Marxism is ascendant and we cannot conceive a higher good than consent.

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. From Bishop Barron's very first social media post close to 20 years ago, he and Word on Fire as a whole have recognized that the online world is a rough-and-tumble place. While most, over the years, have interacted with our content with charity and respect, even if they disagree, there's always been a gallery of trolls who traffic in insults and profanity and are only interested in taking potshots at the ministry rather than engaging in conversation. So it goes—that's just part of the price of entry into the digital world, especially when evangelization is your goal. The internet culture, however, seems to have taken a dark turn recently. Whatever limited restraint people used to show in their online interactions seems to have evaporated in a toxic cloud of mob-fueling—and mob-fueled—rage, replete with distortions, deceptions, and sometimes even explicit calls for violence. Exacerbated by the rise of the use of AI, bots, and anonymous accounts often based in foreign countries, it is increasingly difficult to know with whom you are engaging online or what their motives are. And sadly, physical threats from online sources are now also something we must take very seriously. So how should we move forward from here? Is it still possible to make evangelical headway in this increasingly noxious online environment? If so, what principles should guide the way? Here to discuss the challenges and possible solutions to the current state of the online world is Bishop Robert Barron.

Veronique de Rugy uses a 700-year-old Siena fresco to discuss the virtues of good governance. The artwork illustrates that a flourishing society requires the rule of law and justice. She cautions that modern industrial policies and government cronyism represent the same arbitrary governance the fresco warns against. (16)TUSCANY POSTCARD

After nine seasons of Typology, Anthony and I thought we should revisit some of the basics.  This is the first episode of a five-part series we're calling Enneagram Essentials. Think of today as the front door — we cover the ground every listener needs, from how to find your type to how the Enneagram works in relationships, in faith, and in seasons of genuine suffering.  Then, in Episodes 2 through 5, we go deeper into the concepts that most Enneagram teaching glosses over: Basic Fears and Desires, Instincts, Subtypes, and Virtues. The four things that, in my experience, change everything once you actually understand them. Whether you found the Enneagram last week or you've been sitting with it for years, there's something in today's conversation for you.
