We learn from Pro-Life leader, Brett Attebery, how Thrive Women's Health strategically worked to end abortions in St. Louis. We discuss how this approach is repeatable and how it effectively works to help and change the hearts and minds of women in need.
We are joined today by Brett Attebery, President of Heroic Media, to discuss how Thrive Women's Health worked to strategically end abortions in St. Louis. Brett is the author of a new book, Your Pro-Life Bottom Line, and a convert to the Faith. He tells the dramatic story of how he entered the Church and how he was healed from a previous abortion. 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. In order to move to appropriate solutions, we first assess and diagnose the crisis of masculinity in the Catholic Church as well as society. After discussing the downfall over the years we go into effective and lasting solutions that men need to make and implement today.
Today John and Sam discuss Our Blessed Mother and 5 reasons why we all must have a devotion to the Immaculate. We discuss the struggles that we have each had in accepting or wrestling with the Church's teachings on Our Perfect Mother. However, and our lives are testaments to this transformation, by trusting the Church's teaching and practicing these devotions you will have chosen the surest, easiest, and shortest pathway to Christ and heaven.
Today, American Ninja Warrior and Catholic evangelist, Sean Bryan, discusses how his life has brought him to the peak of physical performance and how it is all done through the Holy Spirit. He has a passionate and clear understanding of the Faith and he lives that in his actions, insights, and missionary work off the course. We talk about his choice of the moniker, "Papal Ninja", how the Church lacks in forming men today, and what Sean and his apostolate, Lay Mission Project, are doing to fill that void.
Today we discuss how your physical health and wellness go hand in hand with your development in virtue and growth in holiness. Dr. Kevin Vost joins us to address the huge rise in diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, liver disease, obesity, and other health-related illnesses in society today. We go into the false notion that you are either physically strong or mentally strong and that the integration of the two leads to a more grateful, loving, healthy, and holy life. Do we have a moral obligation to take care of ourselves and what is the correct balance?
