5 Reasons Men Should NOT Get Married
John Heinen, Devin Schadt, and Sam Guzman explore the nature of marriage in our fast-paced hook-up culture and examine why some men (and women) argue that men should avoid marriage. With declining marriage rates and persistently high divorce rates, it's clear that marriage is challenging, leading millions to opt out entirely. We discuss 5 reasons why marriage is difficult for men and why some argue we should abandon this supposedly outdated social construct. But is there truth to these statements? The discussion reveals how these five reasons fall short in helping men live their best lives and uncovers the enduring value of marriage.We also get to answer a question from a listener about how to pray and improve his life after a devastating divorce.✅ Send us questions that we can answer on the show to podcast@catholicgentleman.com.Devin's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DevinSchadt🔴 Get this and watch the entire 1h 32mins of episode 177 here - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com🔴 NEW SESSION ON FINANCES NOW AVAILABLE.

Every person of goodwill should be aware of these torments to inspire a deeper commitment to holiness and truth. Few doctrines of the Faith cause more discomfort and denial among Christians than the existence of hell. How could an all-good and loving God allow eternal damnation for finite failings?

Can I Mow on Sundays?
John Heinen, Devin Schadt, and Sam Guzman meet to discuss the confusing and often controversial topic of working on Sundays. We are called to abstain from work on Sundays, and indeed it can be sinful to engage in unnecessary labor. Yet we face the challenge of discerning what constitutes work, how we as men living for God can fulfill this precept, and what we should avoid to ensure our Sundays remain holy. We explore what the Church actually teaches, why leisure is essential for our lives, and what can prevent the Holy Day from being truly effective.We also get to answer a question from a listener about helping his friend after his wife had an affair.

How To Know God's Will For Your Life w/ Dan Burke
John Heinen meets with Dan Burke to dive into how we can clearly know God's will in our lives. Looking at the great Doctor of the Church, St. Alphonsus, we discuss the truths that everyone needs to hear and commit to memory. We often view our relationship with God as some sort of game to be won, rather than a loving union to be experienced and strengthened. Our decisions can be flooded with stress and anxiety, and our suffering can feel isolating. However, we can find peace in the storms of our struggles; even in the uncertainty of our decisions, God's will can be known, and aligning our lives with it is the ultimate victory.Podcast Sponsor: Exodus 90 - https://exodus90.com/catholicgentlemanCOUPON CODE: AVILA20BOOK: Finding Peace in the Storm by Dan Burke - https://shop.spiritualdirection.com/product/finding-peace-in-the-storm/Into the Deep by Dan Burke - https://shop.spiritualdirection.com/product/into-the-deep/https://avila-institute.org/🔴 Fr.

The Man Who Walked 1200 Miles Holding Christ
I have the privilege of speaking with Fr. Roger Landry, who embarked on an extraordinary 1,200-mile plus Eucharistic pilgrimage across the United States while carrying Christ. We explore the profound impact of bringing Jesus in the Eucharist to tens of thousands of people, where even the most indifferent hearts were moved. Fr. Landry shares stories of people stopping their cars, stepping onto the scalding asphalt to kneel in reverence, and experiencing conversions of heart amidst a world often filled with loneliness and apathy. He even had the opportunity to offer a procession in a prison yard, leading something that has likely never happened before in the United States of America. Despite facing some insults, the journey was marked by overwhelming love and transformation. Join us as we delve into these powerful moments of faith and devotion.Links Discussed on the Show:Seton Pilgrimage Chronicled by Fr. Roger Landry and his team - https://www.setonpilgrimage.orgFr.
