Fathers, Fight for Milk
September 1, 2020
I’ll never forget the night my first child was born. I was racing down the freeway before dawn, clutching the steering wheel. “Look out for deer,” Brittany moaned. I glanced at her sideways. “You’re in labor, and you’re worried about deer?” “Just watch out for deer, okay!” I squeezed the steering wheel until my knuckles […]
The Gift of a Father’s Blessing
September 20, 2018
Scripture begins with the story of creation. God pours out his creativity and handiwork on the world, filling it with life and abundance. On the final day of creation, God creates mankind, made in his own image, as the culmination and the crown of his labors. God then admires his work, granting it the primordial […]
What Men Can Do to End Abortion
September 5, 2018
Men are frequently told that abortion is a women’s issue and therefore they should have no role in the issue. The argument follows that since men cannot get pregnant and have abortions, they cannot understand what a woman is going through and therefore they should have no voice. This argument is flawed because men are […]
Fathers: The Best Catechesis is a Life Well Lived
October 10, 2017
Recently, my five year old announced that he wanted a different haircut. The minimalist, efficient buzz-cut given to him by his mother was no longer sufficient.

The Paradox of Francis: When We Need Fathers, We Get the Law
December 7, 2016
In a business class in high school I recall studying how factories try to figure out how to squeeze productivity out of workers. In one case they took a group of women apart from the rest, gave them a specific widget-making task, and then had them do it over and over again with different work […]
The Essential Presence of a Father
June 19, 2016
Recently, at the park with my wife and son, I witnessed one of the saddest sights I’ve seen in a long time. A little boy, about five or six, was there with his dad. Normally, this would be a wonderful thing, but the tragedy was, they weren’t spending time with each other. The dad was […]
4 Out of 5 Catholic Men Confess This Sin
January 12, 2016
They confess to looking at pornography and masturbating. It’s awkward, I know, to say it so candidly, but the only way to defeat pornography in our lives is to admit that we have a widespread problem with it. Vice, Firmly Entrenched By the time I was in high school, the habit of lusting after women via […]
The More the Merrier: Fatherhood in An Anti-Kid World
October 13, 2015
“Do you know what causes that?” “Wow, you have your hands full.” “You are done now, right?” “You’re overpopulating the planet!” “Are all of those yours?” “Can you afford that many?” Those are just a few of the things you’ll hear from complete strangers if you have more than the nationally approved average of 1.7 children.
