Manly Catholic: Igniting Men to Light the World on Fire

Nefarious is hitting the theatres by storm. Highly endorsed by many Catholic priests, including Cardinal Raymond Burke, for its accurate portrayal of the demonic, Nefarious will leave you on the edge of your seat wanting more. As ChurchPop states on its website summarizing the plot, "On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer gets a psychiatric evaluation during which he claims he is a demon, and further claims that before their time is over, the psychiatrist will commit three murders of his own."Several priests, including Cardinal Raymond Burke and exorcist Fr. Carlos Martins, recommend "Nefarious." The writers and directors of the film also brought audiences Abby Johnson's "Unplanned" movie."From roofs blowing off of houses to multiple car crashes effecting many of the crew members, Nefarious is a movie the demons don't want you to see. Join James as he interviews Cary Solomon, co-director and producer of the movie.Like what you heard? Maybe you just enjoy reading James’s show notes?

You asked...we delivered! Many have been asking if Fr. Dom could start recording his homilies and post them to the podcast. And the answer is 100% yes!Fr. Dom gives fantastic homilies and I am glad he is doing this so we can start sharing them with the world. I will be posting these as much as possible, most likely one day after the homily was recorded given my current recording and editing constraints so I do apologize for the delay.But, you will not be disappointed.

Jesse Romero is back! Now, this is a past episode, but after re-listening to it you will be fired up to go out there and preach about Jesus! From personal stories about his time as a cop encountering the devil to powerful messages to motivate men, this episode packs a punch, literally and figuratively. It is no wonder this episode garnished over 10k views on YouTube!To quote Mr. Romero directly from his website: “If your parish suffers from low energy, call me, I can jump-start it. I’m a full Gospel, Bible Believing, Born Again, Spirit Filled, Evangelical, Orthodox Catholic Christian, washed and empowered by the blood of Jesus.  With a Bible in one hand, with a rosary in my other hand, and with Jesus in my heart, you will hear the fullness of the Catholic faith in an evangelical style with devil-destroying theology.”You won't want to miss this epic episode. Send us a textSupport the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Do any of you go to a men's group? Does your parish even have a men's group? Or maybe you do go but they just flick on a video made by somebody else and that's it? The video might pump you up for 1/2 a day and then it fades and nothing in your life changes. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not faulting the creators of these men's groups because there are some amazing ones out there. However, for the majority of men, this simply does not work. Think about it. If you are the lucky few who actually have a men's group, is it well attended? Think of all the men in your parish...what percentage are going? 10%? 20%? Men, we NEED fraternity. We NEED our brothers. We NEED a change. Step in John Edwards.If you don't know John, I invite you to check out episode 37 here. John is an amazing man and is doing incredible things over at Just A Guy In The Pew. Check out his website here. In this episode, find out why men's groups need to be different and how John introduces a different way based on the four pillars Jesus shared with His disciples. You won't want to miss this one!

Do you guys ever become afraid? Do you ever freeze? Fail to act when you know you should have? Or maybe you just are afraid of having that difficult conversation that you know you should have had 3 weeks ago. Whatever the case may be, we are afraid far too often. And that is this week’s episode.Dan poses the question, "Is it ever okay to watch scary movies? As with every good answer, it depends. Does it bring you closer to God? Does it serve as mere entertainment? Or, does it drive you further from God or lead you down a darker path? Fear can drive us into action or paralyze us into inaction. It can devour us and all our waking thoughts or it can take us to our knees and give it all up to God. How we respond to fear tells a lot about how we will respond to life itself.Join James and Dan on this week's episode to discuss those scary movies, what James and Dan fear the most, and why fear is the work of the devil.CHALLENGE: This week, go to adoration. Could be 1 hour or even 5 minutes. Talk to God about your fears. Identify them. Name them. Give them to Jesus.Do not be afraid. He has overcome the world. Resources Mentioned:The Comfort Crisis by Michael EasterA Quiet Place with Jim from The Office AKA John Krasinski. Send us a textSupport the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!
