The Catholic Wealth Expert: Woke Vs Holy Investing

June 11, 2025
What happens when your money helps build the very culture you're trying to protect your soul—and your family—from? John Heinen sits down with Chris McMahon—Catholic entrepreneur, father of five, and founder of two financial firms, including Aquinas Wealth Advisors—to expose what’s broken in modern investing and how faithful men can do better. With over 35 years of experience and appearances on Fox News and the Wall Street Journal, Chris has seen firsthand how mainstream portfolios often fund abortion providers like Planned Parenthood, adult entertainment empires, and false ideologies that corrupt the dignity of the human person. Instead of looking away, he built a firm that offers clarity, conviction, and Catholic-aligned investment strategies. Alongside his wife Molly, Chris co-founded Mary’s Place, a home for struggling mothers, and continues to serve the Sisters of Life and Sisters of Mary with bold generosity. His story is one of quiet defiance—against greed, cultural compromise, and moral indifference. This conversation challenges men not only to steward their wealth wisely but to do so with eternal impact in mind. In this powerful conversation, he exposes why so many men today are stuck in fear and confusion—and how the ancient Rule of St. Benedict offers a blueprint for order, purpose, and peace. He goes into the misunderstood power of anger, the role of Marian devotion in masculine healing, and what it actually means to “earn” headship in your family and vocation. Fr. Boniface shares hard-won wisdom from the monastery, the confessional, and the battlefield of the soul.

Men grow up with emotions they can't understand or explain—impatience, anger, frustration, even loneliness or sadness—and because they lack the framework for how to work with these emotions they are ultimately controlled by them. In this episode, John Heinen sits down with T.K. Coleman—top 100 podcaster (The Minimalists) and author of Emotional Clutter—to expose the quiet war within: a spiritual battle fought not with swords, but with unprocessed emotions and buried beliefs.

This isn’t self-help fluff. It’s a battle plan for men who want clarity, freedom, and spiritual firepower in a distracted world.
