It has been used for centuries to elevate and to glorify the Mass, memorize Scripture, and harnessed as a weapon against Satan. Although we see little evidence of this in the modern context, men must understand that music has been given pride of place in the Divine Liturgy. Today, Sam and John are joined by a composer, convert, and man of wisdom, Paul Jernberg, who is working to correct bad Church music and restore the glory of music once again.
We all struggle to actively live with purpose and intention day in and day out. Today Sam and John are joined by a military veteran, teacher, and woodworker, Paul Hyatt, who explains the richness of his life and how he lives each day with significance. The strength of society is dependent on men living to their fullest, who strive, regardless of their shortcomings or struggles, to live each day with meaning and purpose.

We finish with what all of us can be doing to achieve similar victories for the Pro-Life movement.
This time of year is filled with thoughts of change and renewal. Men take upon themselves resolutions to better their lives, however, the majority of these resolutions fail. Why do they fail and what purpose of resolutions is lacking that keeps men from moving forward in the active life? We turn to a great priest and expert in the Desert Fathers, Fr. David Abernethy, to guide us in what dispositions of the mind, intent of the will, and practices we must foster on a regular basis to find frequent growth from sin to holiness.
Today Sam and John are joined by a Scripture scholar and man who has written two recent books on the Infancy Narratives of Christ's birth, Fr. Dwight Longenecker. We discuss the truth of the Magi, the shepherds, and other stories that have come down through centuries that are not directly found in Scripture. How many Magi were there and where do we learn that number? How were Shepherd's stories passed down to Luke, writing 50-60 years later? We discuss all of this and how learning this information can be a turning point in your life.
Today Sam and John are joined by a seasoned veteran who has been fighting against the downfall of true masculinity for many years, Matthew Christoff.

After discussing the downfall over the years we go into effective and lasting solutions that men need to make and implement today.
