In this episode, we sit down with Fr. Morey, the prior at Clear Creek Abbey, to discuss the vital role of fathers in passing down faith and tradition. Fr. Morey shares insights from his life as a Benedictine monk, including the importance of spiritual protection for families, the power of fasting as a group, and how manual labor connects men to reality. We dive into why a lack of tradition signals a loss of culture, the spiritual warfare fathers face, and practical advice for men striving for holiness. Plus, learn about the "deposition of charges" at the monastery and why relics, not money, are the true treasure. Join us for a conversation filled with wisdom from the cloister, recorded at the ninth annual Catholic Man Campout at Clear Creek Abbey.
