Most husbands love their wives and are trying to do their best, yet many still make hidden mistakes that quietly convince her she isn’t loved. These aren’t failures of bad men, but blind spots of good men who don’t realize how their actions (or inactions) land. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt expose the unseen ways husbands lose their wives’ hearts and reveal a path toward lasting love and trust. With Scripture, Catholic wisdom, and real experience, they challenge men to grow into the husbands they are called to be. If you’ve ever wondered why your wife doesn’t always feel cherished, even when you’re trying, this conversation is for you. In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John Heinen and Devin Schadt expose one of the most misunderstood realities in marriage: the difference between lust and love. Wives know the difference, and they can feel when they are cherished and when they are being used. And if men don’t learn this distinction, it erodes trust, poisons communication, and slowly kills intimacy. Charles shares what he’s learned from working with exorcists, what the Church teaches about the saints’ ongoing mission, and why every man needs to claim spiritual warriors to fight for him and with him. You don’t need to be possessed to need a saint. You just need to be in the battle, and we all are.

Exorcisms have been around for millennia within the Church. No one outside the Catholic Church has the authority to cast out demons. In this episode, John Heinen sits down with Charles Fraune to talk about the spiritual war most men never see, and the unexpected allies exorcists call on to help them win it.
