3 Lies Every Man Believes

Every man lives by a story, but what if the story you’ve been living isn’t true? We find ourselves, unknowingly, trapped in lies that define who we are and how we must act. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt expose the hidden lies that quietly shape how men see themselves, their worth, and their purpose. These lies are subtle, powerful, and universal, and until they’re revealed, they keep good men restless, anxious, and unsure of who they really are. With honesty and Catholic depth, John and Devin call men back to their true identity, one rooted not in lies but in something far greater. If you’ve ever felt like you’re striving but still empty, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss. FREE Handmade Wooden Rosary with Pardon Crucifix This Month for those joining CG+. 🟢 Join Catholic Gentleman+ for over 30 sessions of exclusive formation, daily saint quotes, and a brotherhood of men pursuing holiness: ⁠⁠https://catholicgentlemanplus.com⁠⁠👉 Devin Schadt’s new book The Rule: ⁠https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule⁠ COUPON CODE for 20% Off: Gentleman20 Video Producer - Pietro Damasceno ______________________ 🔴 PLEASE HELP US GROW THIS CHANNEL 🔴1.

FLASHBACK: How to Discuss Sex with your Wife

WARNING, this episode contains adult content. Few men realize how deeply silence about sex can wound intimacy. It’s not usually selfishness that causes distance, but fear of saying the wrong thing, being rejected, or exposing the ache for connection that runs deeper than words. Over time, unspoken needs harden into resentment, and what was meant to unite begins to divide. In this episode released from 9 months ago, John Heinen and Devin Schadt open a brutally honest conversation about how to talk with your wife about sex. Not as a demand, but as a path toward healing, holiness, and true partnership. Drawing from Scripture, Catholic wisdom, and personal experience, they reveal how mercy, patience, and honest communication can restore trust and rekindle desire. If you’ve ever wanted deeper unity in your marriage, this is where it begins.
