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.

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.

Have you all tried to ask for a raise? Maybe you have played sports in the past and had a big competition on the horizon? Or maybe you were actually in the military on deployment. Whatever the case might be, you prepared for it, didn’t you? You studied your competition. What makes them tick? What are their strengths? What are their weaknesses? How can I come out on top?You knew your enemy. Now, of course, your boss isn’t your enemy. Nor is the other team or competition you faced. The actual enemy, is Satan. Whether you know it or not, Satan is coming for you. There is a competition for your soul between Jesus and the devil. “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither yourself or the enemy, you will succumb in every battle.”In this episode, we talk about Satan. In episodes 16 and 17, we talk about Spiritual Warfare and in Episode 44 we talked about Satan’s 5 Generals. Keep listening to hear about the true enemy and why knowing him makes a whole lot more sense when looking at what is going on in the world today. Fr. Dom Challenge: He REALLY loves confession. Not only does he want you to go once, but times that by two. Be extra holy to prepare for Lent men.Not Catholic? No worries! Try the Act of Contrition linked below (number 6).

In this conversation, James and The Manly Catholic introduce you to Dan McNally, former Theology teacher turned physical therapist. James met Dan as a new employee here in Grand Rapids and they instantly connected based on their love for Jesus, the Church, and their rugged rosaries. Throughout this conversation, James and Dan discuss 7 common misconceptions about the Catholic Church, how a Pope actually dug up his predecessor and put him on trial, and why actually knowing what the Church teaches will embolden your faith, not diminish it.James's challenge: Buy a Catechism (if you have not already!).

Are you ready to be inspired? Are you ready to take that next step and welcome your son (or daughter!) into adulthood? Then this is the interview for you!Join James and David Arms, that other co-author of the book "Milestone to Manhood," a practical guide to your boys rite of passage into adulthood. Father Dom and James discussed Rite of Passages back in episodes 27, 29, and 30. BUT, this book actually gives you a template on how to actually incorporate that into your life. You won't want to miss this interview! James talks with the other Arms, David, to get the dad's perspective on the importance of the Rite of Passage for their family. Milestone to Manhood shows how fathers of pre-teen boys can help their sons to successfully make the transition from boyhood to manhood. It is a father’s responsibility to bestow the title of “man” on his son, and the book outlines a once-in-a-lifetime weekend to help a father do so. The weekend involves the other male role models in the son’s life as well, like his grandfather, uncles, and older brothers, who all participate in order to make it clear to the boy that he is now considered to be a man. This coming-of-age ceremony is called his Rite of Passage. Visit milestonetomandhood.com for more info!Like what you heard? Maybe you just enjoy reading James’s show notes?

In this episode, James and Ryan sit down and talk about the unknown or forgotten "reprobate mind." Although not specifically mentioned in our Catholic Bibles, the concept is rooted in the letter of St. Paul to the Romans.At that time, the Romans lived their lives lavishly with little regard for morals or objective truth. In essence, they were living in mortal sin with little conviction to change that. This can lead to what we call the reprobate mind. Join us in the fascinating discussion on what a reprobate mind is, how you can change it, and how you can strengthen your resolve to avoid becoming a reprobate! Like what you heard?

In this interview, James sits down with John Horvat, Vice President of Tradition, Family, and Property (TFP). TFP is "an organization of lay Catholic Americans concerned about the moral crisis shaking the remnants of Christian civilization. Its earliest origins date back to January 1971, when the first TFP members started to group around the publication Crusade for a Christian Civilization. Today, with over 120,000 active members, volunteers and donors, the TFP is on the front lines of the Culture War, peacefully defending the values of tradition, family and private ownership." John is a deep thinker who offers great insight on the challenges men face today and the wonderful work that TFP does in the community, especially on campuses across the country!Like what you heard?

Ryan and James discuss on this episode the Synod on Synodality listening sessions, specifically here at St. Roberts in Ada. According to the USCCB website, the Synod on Synodality: The Synod on Synodality is a two-year process of listening and dialogue beginning with a solemn opening in Rome on October 9 and 10, 2021 with each individual diocese and church celebrating the following week on October 17. The synodal process will conclude in 2023. Pope Francis invites the entire Church to reflect on a theme that is decisive for its life and mission: “It is precisely this path of synodality which God expects of the Church of the third millennium.” This journey, which follows in the wake of the Church’s “renewal” proposed by the Second Vatican Council, is both a gift and a task: by journeying together and reflecting together on the journey that has been made, the Church will be able to learn through Her experience which processes can help Her to live communion, to achieve participation, to open Herself to mission.In short, the Church is inviting lay people to give their input on how the Church can improve in various aspects. In this episode, Ryan and James specifically talk about the topics relating to listening and dialogue in the Church and society and engaging more families. Remember men, our priests, bishops, and the Pope have to answer to Christ, not us. James' Challenge: Pray specifically for the Holy Spirit to come and guide you every day this week.Like what you heard? Maybe you just enjoy reading James’s show notes?

In this episode, James is joined by Ryan Young, founder of Camp Veritas, a Catholic Summer Camp for teens 12-18. Ryan is a man who has lived many lives, as he puts it. From briefly meeting his future spouse at a college meet-and-greet and knowing he was going to marry her to working as a Physician's Assistant in New York, Ryan is a doer. Husband and father to 8-children, Ryan's life is so busy he had to cut the interview short due to a little one needing stitches!During their discussion, Ryan and James speak about the four greatest challenges men face in this day and age, the biggest threats to boys becoming men, and how God rewards the proactive. Ryan is a man who believes there are no accidents and it is evident by the way he speaks about his faith and the Church. “There is nothing more delusional in the universe to think your opinion actually matters.” Ryan YoungLike what you heard?

Part 2 has arrived! No Avicii references this time around...I promise. In this episode, James and Ryan continue their discussion and dive into the various levels of prayer, including touching on some mystical levels we don't really know a heck of a lot about. We can dare to become like one of these mystics and enter the inner depths of the soul to reach these levels of mastery in prayer. Here is how you do Mental Prayer:Prepare: Place yourself in God's presence and pray for the grace to meditateBegin the meditationReflect on particular subject, some truth of God or the Faith (more on this later)Examine yourself in relation to this truthThink of how you can improve in this aspectAffections like sorrow for sin, hope in God, and love arise in your heart from considering the subject of your meditationOffer petitions in your heart to God: for people in your life, for yourself, your family, your enemies, for the Church, and so onResolve to conquer your main vice or grow in a needed virtueConclusion: Thank God for the graces He gave youRyan's Challenge: Evaluate your current level, and level up to the next one.

In Part 1, they give you an overview of the 3-different "ways" of prayer as well as all nine levels before teasing you with only levels 1-2. They also discuss Ryan's checklist for mental prayer, which you can find here: Here is how you do Mental Prayer:Prepare: Place yourself in God's presence and pray for the grace to meditateBegin the meditationReflect on particular subject, some truth of God or the Faith (more on this later)Examine yourself in relation to this truthThink of how you can improve in this aspectAffections like sorrow for sin, hope in God, and love arise in your heart from considering the subject of your meditationOffer petitions in your heart to God: for people in your life, for yourself, your family, your enemies, for the Church, and so onResolve to conquer your main vice or grow in a needed virtueConclusion: Thank God for the graces He gave youLike what you heard?

Ever wonder what those voices in your head mean? No, you aren't crazy (or are you?). We all go through doubt, peace, anger, joy, etc. and figuring out "WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!" Men, you are not alone.Join James and Ryan, the newly dubbed "scorn of the thorn" as they discuss the ever-popular discernment of spirits. Made famous by the great St. Ignatius of Loyola, James and Ryan discuss the basis of the discernment of spirits, great resources to become a spiritual master, and personal examples from both James and Ryan on how it has helped them. Plus so much more! James' Challenge: Take 10 minutes a day and sit with the Gospel reading. Try not to think too hard about it. Reflect on one word or one line and just allow God to meet you in the Gospel. Like what you heard? Maybe you just enjoy reading James’s show notes?

Ohhhhh boy! You have been waiting for the day and here it is! Father Dom and James had the privilege and honor of interviewing the one and only Jesse Romero on the podcast and boy, did he not disappoint! For those of you who don't know Jesse, I am just going to drop a quote 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.”To say Jesse is energetic and passionate is an understatement. He brought the fire and hammer down during the podcast and you will not want to miss it. Be sure you check out the resources listed below to find out more about Jesse, ways to support the podcast, and other great content on our other social media platforms. Like what you heard?

Whoa....an episode on Friday? You bet! Something special is coming next week. In this episode, James wraps up his discussion with Ryan Flaherty, a local from Ada, MI who attends St. Robert's of Newminster parish. Ryan is a husband and father of two and is passionate about all things spiritual warfare. He is basically a spokesperson for Fr. Chad Ripperger (we are also guilty as charged) and wants to help men yell with a battle-ax in one hand and the Rosary in the other hand. Or, give a good battle cry. Either one will work.Continue to listen to this finale episode (and extra special since it's on Friday) as James and Ryan discuss practical tips on how to prepare yourself to fight in the most epic and important fight we will ever enter into.

With everything going on in Ukraine, Fr. Dom and James thought it appropriate to expand on the Church's teaching on Just War Theory. What is it? Does it even matter? Is there such thing as a "just war?" Join us as we dive deeper into St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas' teachings on the foundation of the theory. The Church has guidelines that all should try and follow to avoid war and also once you are already in war.This is a fascinating episode that is applicable to what is going on in the world today. Don't miss it!Father Dom's Challenge: Pray for Ukraine. For most of us, that is all we can do. Your prayers do matter. If you are financially able, you can donate at these links:1.
