Ten Reasons to Pray the Rosary

Motivation is the key to carrying out any worthy enterprise. Great men and great women have clear goals and strong motivations. They know what they want and they have a clear plan before their eyes. CEO’s in successful companies know what they want, have goals, deadlines, and concrete steps to attain those goals. Professional athletes […]
How Long will you Put Him off? Giving your Morning to God

It is no exaggeration to say that it comes down to one thing: your morning routine.
As a house is built upon a solid foundation, the days of your life are erected upon your daily morning routine.
Conversely, if your house has a foundation wall that is bowing or buckling, it will eventually settle and perhaps collapse.
As a car rides on four tires, your days will ride on your mornings.
Again, if just one of your car’s four tires is flat, your vehicle will not drive.
Therefore, if you do not have a solid, consistent, life-giving morning routine, like that car, your life will go nowhere.
Your mornings determine your days, and your days determine your months, and your months determine your years, and your years determine your legacy.
Conversely, your grand vision of your life depends on the smallest of factors—how you begin your day, everyday.
Killing my Enemy

Great men aren’t born, they are made great through the crucible of life. It is a mystery left only to God’s providence that you would be reading this article in a particular place, and particular time, much of which has little to do with your choosing. You and I were born into a place, a people, and a time with all its particular benefits and challenges. We don’t choose when or where we come into the world, but each of us will be judged by how well we live in it. We are judged by how well we develop our gifts and talents in service to God and one another. This, of course, is hard work. It requires both self-knowledge and self-possession, the two pillars of maturity upon which the foundation of our holiness is built.

3 Things the World is Silently Stealing from Every Father
The world is stripping three things away from every Catholic man. Not in ways you'd recognize as an attack but disguised as a busy evening, a competing priority, or a reasonable excuse. Then one day you wake up and realize something essential is gone.
In this episode, we sit down to name three things the world, the flesh, and the devil are working together to take from you: your role as Kustos, what it means to be the guardian and protector of your family, and why the enemy targets this first. Why original sin was an assault on fatherhood itself, and what it looks like to choose your children the way God the Father chooses you.
This is the story of how a man hits the absolute bottom and finds out it was never the end of his story. Today we sit down with John to talk about what actually drives addiction, why isolation is the devil's first move on a man, and how the wound of "am I enough" sends so many men looking for affirmation in all the wrong places.

He Hid a 17-Year Addiction From His Wife. A Radical Catholic Conversion.
Salesman of the year. Devoted husband. Faithful Catholic father and a 17-year addiction no one knew about. John Edwards spent nearly two decades living two lives at once. He closed deals by day, chased down his dealer by afternoon, and kept the mask on at home so well that his own wife never saw it. It held together right up until the morning he sat in a jail cell on Good Friday with nothing left to control.

4 Reasons Satan Hates St. Joseph
The Church calls Saint Joseph the Terror of Demons. A carpenter. A foster father. A man who speaks not a single word in Scripture. And hell is terrified of him.
In this episode, John Heinen sits down with Devin Schadt, executive director of the Fathers of Saint Joseph, to unpack the four reasons Satan hates Saint Joseph. These are the virtues that send demons running. The same virtues every Catholic man is called to build.
