Today, John, Sam, and Devin have decided to delve into the two archetypes that shape every one of us and profoundly impact our existence. We have chosen these two archetypes due to the intricate interplay between them and how they mutually support and complete each other. God has created men to be a wellspring of power and positive change for the world, but that same power can also be harnessed for evil. Let's focus our attention on how these Christ-like images within us influence our lives and how we can harness them to triumph in life. QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Each week we are going to answer one of your questions during the podcast. This week we have a question from a listener who wants to know how to better live his masculinity in relation to his wife's feminity, and how the baggage we bring into our relationships can have consequences.

Today, John, Sam, and Devin dive deep into the compelling topic of why men often seek respect but sometimes for misguided reasons. They explore how this desire for respect is etched into the core of a man's being, often intertwined with the desire for love. However, the hosts emphasize the need for this to be guided correctly because the opposite leads to vainglory, a sin that veers us off the virtuous path. Tune in as they articulate the essential rules that men should hold close to their hearts, guiding them on the journey to earn respect in a way that aligns with God's divine plan for their lives.

Today, John, Devin, and Sam answer the nagging thought that money will make life better. That if only you had more money you could accomplish things in life, not have to worry so much, and finally be happier. The concerns with money affect all of us and having a clear guide to why Christ spoke about this sin more than any other is needed today. We discuss the modern mindset as it relates to money, how to view money through God's eyes, and the way forward to live a truly happier life.

Today, John and Sam are excited to announce the third week with the new host of our show, Devin Schadt. We dive right into what all men need to start hearing preached during homilies. We discuss why this is important and express the reasons this is necessary. We ask the question of why we have never heard these things and how helpful it would be to the life of the Church. When men start hearing these points at the pulpit, we start identifying with our faith, we share that with other men, and we begin to enter into our God ordained call.

For the Catholic seeking God in the mountains, there is an expression more proverbial and iconic than any other. It is a terse Italian phrase, scribbled onto a photograph in 1925 by the late Pier Giorgio Frassati. It remains not merely the key into his sanctified existence, but an insight into the true nature of climbing.

We Christian men are longing to be challenged to love, to conquer not the world or each other, but the evil one. Our minds were made for truth and in a world of relativism and banal platitudes we’re starving for it. If men are barbarian conquerors, then I can assure you there is only One who can conquer us in love and raise up a new type of army. We need Christ.

“Man was created for greatness—for God himself; he was created to be filled by God. But his heart is too small for the greatness to which it is destined. It must be stretched…” In this real quote, “greatness” is not ambiguous at all. And it is not success, or money, or fame, or even starting a great Catholic initiative – it is God himself. But he says our hearts are too small for our destiny. It’s a bit of a paradox – we were made to be filled to the brim with something we are incapable of being filled with. But this is why he says your heart must be stretched. They must be stretched because they have been restricted. Our hearts are restricted by our self-absorption, and must be stretched.

In today's episode, hosts John Heinen and Sam Guzman discuss the 3 foundational pillars of a man's life. These 3 pillars were broken at the fall of man, yet until we understand these pillars and how to work with them, we will always be running in circles instead of persevering forward in our lives. We also discuss the most transformative new platform for men to get answers to their questions, grow in holiness with other men, and receive constant new content and challenges.
