In this conversation, Jack and Tom Hampson discuss the paradox of food insecurity in America, despite its wealth. They explore the evolution of food banks into a multi-billion dollar industry that manages poverty rather than alleviating it. The discussion highlights the bureaucratic inefficiencies, the role of corporate donations, and the need for local, community-based solutions to effectively address hunger. They argue that the current system is failing the very people it aims to help and call for a reevaluation of how food assistance is structured and delivered.

Recently, while walking through my neighborhood and looking at Christmas decorations, I came upon a simple Nativity scene. Nothing extravagant. Just Mary. Joseph. A child lying in straw.

And it stopped me.

Because that scene reveals something our culture is trying desperately to erase:

God chose to enter the world through a family.

Not through a system.

Not through a state program.

Not through a technological utopia.

—and why the family remains the battleground for hearts, freedom, and the future. From Scripture’s fierce warning about harming the little ones to the daily headlines that blur truth and twist language, we connect the dots between cultural confusion, spiritual warfare, and the call to protect children.

The Claymore battle plan is a practical map for spiritual formation and cultural rebuilding. The goal isn’t outrage; it’s forming men who can love well, raise families, start businesses with integrity, and anchor parishes that become bright centers of mercy and truth.

Love isn’t a mood that lasts forever; it’s a mission that matures. 

We trace the arc from infatuation to mature love, explaining what happens when the early hormone rush fades and why that moment is the invitation to choose each other anew. Costanza reframes “submission” as surrendering the urge to fix your spouse and learning to love the person you actually married. We talk about original loneliness, the deep hunger for God at the center of every human heart, and the tough truth that marriage either becomes a school of holiness or it stalls in scorekeeping and silent contempt.

"Vulnerable and refreshingly real. Blessed is the Day We "Got it Wrong" is a must read for anyone craving hope, perspective, and a renewed commitment to love"--Meygan Caston, Marriage 365.

If you’re ready to move beyond feelings into a love that lasts, this one’s for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find this conversation.

A late recording on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe turns into a fierce meditation on a world that feels unhinged and the mother who leads us to her Son. We trace a throughline from John’s Gospel and the order of creation to Juan Diego’s roses in winter and the tilma that sparked eight million conversions, then ask what those signs say about today’s battles over life, meaning, and the human person.

Let's Pray together: 

O Virgin of Guadalupe, Mother of the Americas, grant to our homes the grace of loving and respecting life in its beginnings, with the same love with which you conceived in your womb the life of the Son of God. Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Fair Love, protect our families so that they may always be united and bless the upbringing of our children. 

Our hope, look upon us with pity, teach is to go continually to Jesus, and if we fall help us to rise again and return to Him through the confession of our faults and our sins in the Sacrament of penance, which gives peace to the soul. 

We beg you to grant us a great love of all the holy Sacraments, which are, as it were, the signs that your Son left us on earth. Thus, Most Holy Mother, with the peace of God in our consciences, with our hearts free from evil and hatred, we will be able to bring to all others true joy and peace, which come to us from your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who with the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

- Prayer by Pope John Paul

Advent sharpens our memory and our courage, and that’s where we start: gratitude for the return of public faith and a renewed freedom to say Merry Christmas without apology. From there we move straight into the central question young people are asking in a noisy, anxious age: What is the truth, and how do I live it? We lay out the Claymore battle plan—recover your heart, restore marriage and family, and then rebuild culture—so purpose moves from an idea to a daily practice that changes lives.

The Claymore battle plan is a practical map for spiritual formation and cultural rebuilding. The goal isn’t outrage; it’s forming men who can love well, raise families, start businesses with integrity, and anchor parishes that become bright centers of mercy and truth.

Tom Hampson is with Jack to dig into the newly released HHS review of youth gender medicine and what it asserts about puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgery for minors. You’ll hear why many countries are recalibrating toward psychotherapy and mental health support, what “gold standard science” should look like in pediatric care, and how long-term risks and informed consent must be handled with moral seriousness. Along the way, we examine how schools, media, and even churches helped normalize contested claims, and why silence from trusted institutions often reads like endorsement.

Feeling pressured to pick between Socialism and Capitalism? We challenge that trap and make a case for a third way that takes human dignity seriously, starts in the heart, and rebuilds culture from the ground up. We walk through why many young people gravitate toward socialism when family and schools fail them, and why unconstrained capitalism—when severed from God and moral law—leaves the soul hungry and communities brittle. 

Then we chart a different path rooted in a Christian vision of freedom ordered to the good, where love of God flows into love of neighbor, and where formation shapes the kind of people who can actually sustain a free society.

You’ll hear hard critiques—of socialism and hypercapitalism’s nihilism—paired with hopeful, concrete steps: prayer that grounds the day, the sacraments that renew the heart, small groups that build accountability, and local action that serves the poor, protects life, and strengthens communities.

We also discuss the Claymore battle plan as a practical map for spiritual formation and cultural rebuilding. The goal isn’t outrage; it’s forming men and women who can love well, raise families, start businesses with integrity, and anchor parishes that become bright centers of mercy and truth.

What if the love you’ve been searching for has been quietly pursuing you all along? That’s the heartbeat of this conversation with Greg Willits—author, award-winning media producer, and co-founder of Rosary Army—who opens up about childhood abuse, early exposure to pornography, depression, anxiety, and a late-stage collapse that forced him to seek real healing. Greg doesn’t offer platitudes. He shares how a priest’s advice to go to weekly confession, Catholic therapy, and daily fidelity to the rosary set the stage for a breakthrough guided by St. Louis de Montfort’s The Love of Eternal Wisdom.
