Exodus90 has started but Exodus Lent is just around the corner!
March 2nd is Ash Wednesday, and over a billion people will start living different in some way. Maybe giving up chocolate or alcohol, or whatever.
For a lot of Catholics, Lent is a time of finding the easiest way to “give something up”. But, at the end of those 40 days, did that sacrifice really make a difference?
This year, there’s a new opportunity out there specifically for men that will actually help you grow closer to God and become a better man.
You’ve heard me talk about Exodus 90 — but let me tell you about Exodus Lent: a 40-day journey that will challenge you to dig a little deeper this year.
If your first reaction is: “I’m absolutely not taking cold showers” well you’re in luck: men who take on the Exodus Lent get to take warm showers, drink alcohol, and — when you’re with others — watch TV and sports. But don’t be fooled, this will still be a challenging 40 days of preparation for living the Christian life, for the rest of your life.
Here’s how it works:
First — Over the 40 days of Lent, men commit to daily prayer, setting aside a minimum of 20 minutes to spend with the Lord. Each day includes a scripture reading and reflection written to help men better understand, grow in, and live virtue.
Second — More than just giving up chocolate, men take up a range of disciplines and sacrifices for the season of Lent. Sweets, snacks, social media, are all gone.
Third — Men commit to a fraternity of 5-7 men. Each week, the fraternity meets to pray together, check in, hold each other accountable and encourage one another.
On Easter Sunday, you’ll walk away with a new and lasting understanding of what it means to live the full Christian life. Chocolate bunnies and all.

About our drink:
Buffalo Trace Single Barrel
Ancient buffalo carved paths through the wilderness that led American pioneers and explorers to new frontiers. One such trail led to the banks of the Kentucky River where Buffalo Trace Distillery has been making bourbon whiskey the same way for more than 200 years. In tribute to the mighty buffalo and the rugged, independent spirit of the pioneers who followed them, we created our signature Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
About our gear:
More of an action than a gear this week. We need to be talking about the positive things that happen in your prayer life to your children.
About the Topic:
We talk about the 9 choirs of angels, why they are important and what each choir's job is, and how beautiful it is that God uses all of His creation to carry out His will.

About our drink:
Islay Mist - We really liked this malt!
"Islay Mist was created on Islay in the 1920s using whisky from the Laphroaig Distillery as well as choice Speyside distilleries. Initially blended for the 21st birthday celebration of the son and heir of the then Lord Sargadale, this gold-medal winning whisky still carries the seal of the Lord of the Isles. Staying true to the founding recipe, Islay Mist remains the original peated blend with characteristic balanced smoky and peaty tones between layers of mellow oaky maltiness."
About our gear:
N/A
About the Topic:
With a reflection on Mark 8: 22-26, we discuss the moments in our lives where it was so abundantly clear it was a grace-filled moment. The amount of grace needed for one to repent, the amount of grace needed to strive for virtue, and the little moments we don't realize change the trajectory of our lives. We talk about that and more with Fr. David Carvajal.

About the Topic:
In his classic work The Soul of the Apostolate, Dom Chautard demonstrates that the very foundation of all apostolic work must be the Interior Life. The apostle of Christ will grow to become an instrument and true channel of God’s graces to the world only through prayer, meditation and the cultivation of the Interior Life. When one is involved in works of spiritual or corporal charity, his work can only be truly efficacious when he anchors his Interior Life in Christ. Without Christ, we can do nothing.

Exodus90 has started but Exodus Lent is just around the corner!
March 2nd is Ash Wednesday, and over a billion people will start living different in some way. Maybe giving up chocolate or alcohol, or whatever.
For a lot of Catholics, Lent is a time of finding the easiest way to “give something up”. But, at the end of those 40 days, did that sacrifice really make a difference?
This year, there’s a new opportunity out there specifically for men that will actually help you grow closer to God and become a better man.
You’ve heard me talk about Exodus 90 — but let me tell you about Exodus Lent: a 40-day journey that will challenge you to dig a little deeper this year.
If your first reaction is: “I’m absolutely not taking cold showers” well you’re in luck: men who take on the Exodus Lent get to take warm showers, drink alcohol, and — when you’re with others — watch TV and sports. But don’t be fooled, this will still be a challenging 40 days of preparation for living the Christian life, for the rest of your life.
Here’s how it works:
First — Over the 40 days of Lent, men commit to daily prayer, setting aside a minimum of 20 minutes to spend with the Lord. Each day includes a scripture reading and reflection written to help men better understand, grow in, and live virtue.
Second — More than just giving up chocolate, men take up a range of disciplines and sacrifices for the season of Lent. Sweets, snacks, social media, are all gone.
Third — Men commit to a fraternity of 5-7 men. Each week, the fraternity meets to pray together, check in, hold each other accountable and encourage one another.
On Easter Sunday, you’ll walk away with a new and lasting understanding of what it means to live the full Christian life. Chocolate bunnies and all.

About our drink:
Laphroaig 10 Sherry Oak Finish
This unique expression from Laphroaig combines the unforgettable flavour of our 10-year-old whisky with the sweet, aromatic flavours from the Oloroso sherry casks. This marriage of casks creates a rich, full-bodied flavour with notes of Manuka honey, bacon and maple syrup alongside the classic smoke, seaweed and hint of salt that Laphroaig is known & loved for.
The European oak sherry casks are carefully selected to complement the unique and much-loved taste of Laphroaig. The additional sweetness and character of the Oloroso casks add complexity and balance to create a unique and exciting expression, but one that stays true to the character of Laphroaig.
About our gear:
The Paint Stick
The Wagner PaintStick EZ Roller is great for painting walls and ceilings 2X faster than a manual roller and with less mess. The paint roller eliminates the need for messy roller trays by holding up to 22 oz. of paint directly in the handle. You can paint a 7’ X 10’ area in a single fill, allowing you to quickly transform an entire kitchen, living room, bedroom and more without having to stop and reload the roller. For even, consistent coverage, simply squeeze the trigger to feed paint directly to the paint roller. The roller also reduces the need for a ladder or step stool by providing long reach for tall walls and ceilings. The Wagner PaintStick EZ Roller is a great upgrade to traditional paint rollers and will be an ideal painting tool to have for your next room makeover!
About the Topic:
How do people go to hell?
The death of a person with the state of mortal sin, that is without any sanctifying grace.
What is mortal sin?
CCC 1855: “Mortal sin destroys charity in the heart of ma by a grave violation of God’s law; it turns man away from God, who is his ultimate end and his beatitude, by preferring an inferior good to Him.
3 conditions for mortal sin: 1. Grave matter 2. Full knowledge 3. Deliberate consent
