Mike Hernon,  from Messy Family Project , joins us to talk about raising boys and the importance of a rite of passage About our drink: N/A About our gear: Important books for boys to read About the Topic: Raising a son has always been tough, but boys are under attack today more than ever. The ordinary struggles, challenges, and perils that comes with raising boys are magnified by a multi-billion-dollar industry targeting our sons for porn addiction, a media that demeans and undermines the Catholic faith, and educators and culture leaders who treat masculinity as a disease or a psychosis. And too many dads feel frustrated, ill-equipped, or just unsure about stepping into their role of parenting pre-teen sons. We talk about it in depth with Mike in this week’s episode.

RECORDING FROM MOTHER ANGELICA’S OFFICE AT EWTN! About our drink: N/A About our gear: Kreg Pocket hole jigs Kreg Joinery™ is an incredibly fast, strong, and simple way of joining wood. It essentially involves drilling a hole at an angle into one workpiece, and then joining it to a second workpiece with self-tapping screws. While it may seem simple, the technique is revolutionary because of how easy it is. When you’re done assembling, there’s no need to leave your joint clamped up for hours, glue is completely optional, and there are no frustrating alignment problems to deal with. Kreg Joints™ are so simple they can be built in just a few easy steps – it’s as easy as drill, drive, and you’re done! About the Topic: It’s good to look back on some of your life decisions and see how those decisions either hurt or helped yourself, your family, and your spiritual life. Sometimes, you have to “kill” an action, habit, or thought in order for a new habit to be born. Sin makes us bl...

Fitness and Virtue with Pat Flynn – Episode 1 God didn’t just create us as spirits and then shackle us with bodies. As Catholics, we believe that the body and soul are intimately woven together, so it’s important that we work on both. Our friend Pat Flynn has written and spoken a lot on the virtues of fitness. He also has written several books, including an Amazon #1 seller:  Introduction to Kettlebells: A Minimalist’s Guide to Blasting Fat and Boosting Muscle.  A writer, entrepreneur, and “re-converted” Catholic, Pat focuses his efforts on helping others find happiness and wholeness through fitness, philosophy, and faith. And now we’re teaming up with him to host a patron-exclusive class on Fitness and Virtue! Throughout this course, Pat will discuss the role physical fitness plays in our lives and offer key insights on how to maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle—and how to avoid the spiritual pitfalls of vanity and self-absorption. And, no, we didn’t bring Pat in to preach...
