The Fit For The Kingdom Podcast

Our previous episode together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-haTN3_5a-Q&t=40sThere is one activity that demands more from a man than almost anything else he can voluntarily put himself through, and it still has the capacity to return nothing. No result. No animal. Just the mountain, the weight on your back, and whatever you're made of. Lucas Orr is a full-time dairy farmer, father, and hunting...

Most people know how to celebrate the faith. Fewer know how to suffer in it. Liam Aquilina's talk on Our Lady of Sorrows goes to the part of Catholicism that modern Christianity has quietly agreed to stop teaching, the cross, sorrow, contrition, and what it actually means to carry something heavy for the love of God. It is a theological reckoning with why suffering is inseparable from the Christia...

Most men have a vague sense that they're supposed to figure out their life. Pick a direction. Settle down. Maybe go to church. And for a while they chase what the world tells them will satisfy, the girls, the money, the status. Then they hit a wall. Not because they're bad men. Because no one ever taught them how to listen, how to reflect, or what they were actually made for. In this episode we si...

Most men know what they're supposed to do. The gym, the discipline, the prayer, the routine. And they do it for a while. Then they stop. Not because they're lazy. Because they never understood what they were actually building, or why the body has more to do with all of it than anyone is telling them. In this episode I sit down with Lucas, a dairy farmer, hunting guide, husband, and new father, for...

God has sent the Blessed Virgin Mary again and again and again, across centuries, across continents, to the poorest and most unlikely people on earth, with the same urgent message. Guadalupe. Lourdes. La Salette. Knock. Akita. Fatima. Each apparition verified by the Church. Each one accompanied by miracles that have never been explained. Each one delivering a warning that the world largely ignored...

In this episode of the Fit for the Kingdom podcast, Tomas and Nico tackle two raw questions from the Kingdom Legion Q&A: is competitive martial arts morally acceptable for Catholic men, and how do you stop your ambition from quietly replacing God?

You say you're taking a break from dating. But you're still at every party where girls are. Still texting multiple girls. Still "building the pipeline" for when the hiatus ends. You think you're being intentional - but you're just suppressing the desire, not integrating it. Here's the real problem: you're attached to female validation. You can't work alone. Yo...

This is honest discussion...

Is there a difference between worldly masculinity and Biblical masculinity? In this episode, Tomas and Nico tackle one of the most controversial topics in modern Christianity: what does true biblical masculinity actually look like? We expose why most men fall into one of two deadly extremes, and how to integrate physical and spiritual strength the way St. Joseph did. We break down: -Why Andrew Tat...

This episode tackles one of the most ignored but destructive habits in modern life: living undecided.
