I think we all go through these periods in our lives when we don’t feel very spiritual. Do you experience those times at the end of the day when you are like. “I hope God thinks I’m ok. I’m working hard to do more good than bad.” Have you gotten to the point where you aim to at least make it into purgatory? We are living in a privileged moment of the Holy Spirit when graces and gifts are being pou...

Following Christ can be tough. I know as well as you do that it's not easy. So what does it take to be a disciple? It takes a conscious choice to be like Jesus every day. To do that, means spending time with Him and witnessing about Him to others.  This week I welcome Jeff Cavins and we discuss situational awareness and how to look for opportunities throughout your day to pray for someone or witne...

We have a front row seat to the future of our Church and the future looks bright! Tizoc Rosales is the Director of Advancement for the Saint Paul Seminary and the Saint John Vianney College Seminary in Minnesota.

Read the Bible daily. Go to Mass every week. Quit making excuses and be a man! Jesse Romero joins me this week and together we are going to give you some tools to take into spiritual battle with you!

I often share my testimony of my return to the Catholic faith. This week Keith Nester joins me and we have a great discussion about both of our conversions. Keith was raised a United Methodist pastors kid and became a pastor himself. As he became more engaged in his faith he encountered a number of Catholics who showed him the true beauty of the Catholic faith. Keith became inundated with books, v...

Do you realize every one of us is meant to have a personal relationship with Jesus? I get it….life gets  a little uncomfortable, it doesn’t seem to fit, we take ourselves too seriously and we end up missing out on the simplicity of what it means to give our lives to Jesus and experience the infusion of his love and his truth. My Cajun friend, Karlo Broussard, joins me this week to discuss how to b...

This week I welcome back Long Ride Home cast member Grady Dyke. Grady never realized a simple ride to the Big Bend with a group of Catholic men would turn into something greater. Riding in a pack with men he had never met before taught Grady unity and trust. We quickly learned that men can grow in their faith by working together and challenging one another to attain greatness. Want to learn how? J...

You've probably heard people talk about hearing this small voice. I bet you've wondered how exactly do we hear that still small voice within each of us? We have to be quiet. Life requires us to step out in faith and see where God leads us. We may not know what is beyond the horizon but it is worth the ride. This week Long Ride Home cast member Tony Orband and I reflect upon the challenges and triu...

Why spend time with Mary? Why not go right to the Lord? What is Mary’s role in our lives?

Kendra Von Esh left behind the hustle and bustle of the corporate world to pursue a calling to evangelize for the Lord. That may sound simple but it was far from it. Kendra was focused on making money, climbing the ladder, with little time to pursue the faith she was born into.    One day she received a phone call that would change her life forever. Life became less about her and more about Him. L...

We need to work together as men to build a community that challenges, equips, and mobilizes each other in the art of chivalry and being a knight of virtue. Jerome Richter returns to talk about the group he created to support young men.   The Knights of Virtue helps young men have a fraternal community to hold each other accountable and to show them what it means to be a man in this secular world....

I have great admiration for those with the entrepreneurial spirit who use their skills to evangelize. Robert Tunmire is one of those people and his journey is incredible. For much of his life Robert was not really interested in faith. He didn’t have anything against the faith….he just didn’t have time for it. But that all changed when after wondering in the desert for 40 years Robert found God. Yo...

Boy do I have a story to share with you this episode! The Church is big and as it has grown it has encountered various cultures and practices. When it does this it does not come into a culture and destroy it, it seeks out the beauty of those cultures and integrates their practices with the Catholic faith. One example is the Native American practice of sweats. Jerome Richter VP of Public Affairs at...

I think in life sometimes we get hit right between the eyes with a reality check. When that happens we realize we need to make some changes. That’s what life is all about…growth and change. Such was the case when Dallas Carter faced reality and shed 200+ pounds. I’m anxious for you to hear Dallas’ message about losing weight and staying healthy. Whether it’s walking, running, biking or jiu jitsu f...

The ocean is like God – it keeps you humble. You can’t control it, and if you try to, you will wipe out. But if you let yourself be carried by the waves, you’re in for a mystical experience.

Dr. Peter Kreeft, a convert to Catholicism, has written 75 books on apologetics and currently...

My guest this week is Jason Craig and he has  a great new book out that explains this in detail called Leaving Boyhood Behind: Reclaiming Catholic...

God is always willing us back to him even when we do not realize it. One way God attracts and invites us is by communicating to us through nature. Did you know that nature is an icon to God’s love? We can't just stop at the beauty of nature itself we need to go deeper and discover God. Heather Makowicz joins me this week to discuss the healing power of hiking in nature and her ministry Peak Encoun...

When it comes to business we need to understand that people are not simply cogs in a wheel….they are human beings.

I have a question for you. Have you ever thought to yourself what are the roles of man and woman? Approaching that question with an open mind reveals a lot. Men and women are both equally human and yet they are different. Women are more oriented towards people and the personal. Men are wired to make use of the goods of creation to serve, protect, and provide for his family and the community within...
