The most dangerous part of Pride is how often it hides itself behind seemingly well intentioned lies. Being consulted is a good thing. Being preferred because you've worked hard is also a good thing. The desire of these, however, is not.

This does not make sense right away. It's not obvious why this should be so.

Join me in this episode as I discuss the danger of the desires to be consulted and preferred. These do not sound like bad things - and in fact are not. The danger is in the desire, but it's subtle. We intellectually know that the church's teachings are true, but they can be hard to understand!

This is the third episode of a series, I strongly recommend not listening to them out of order.

This episode continues the Humility series where I am exploring the Litany of Humility. This is one of the most painful prayers to pray, and therefore probably pretty important.

Pride is one of the greatest sins of our time - and perhaps always has been. As Christians, we are called to combat the pride in our own hearts in a powerful and unique way.

Join me in this episode as I walk through what I call the "direct goods" that the litany asks Jesus to deliver us from. Why would this be good? What does this even mean? Why would I want to pray this? Join me in this episode to find out.

This episode is part 2 of a discussion with Ed Jozsa. In part one (episode 211) he discussed his amazing story of a series of miracles that took place after he went through a horrific accident. If you have not yet listened to that episode, I strongly suggest listening to that first!

In this episode he and I take the discussion in a totally different direction. I explore the impact that this story has had on his relationships, starting with his marriage, then moving into how it has affected his children and extended relationships.

Join me in this episode as Ed and I discuss how you do not need to go through a miracle to experience the voice of God and respond to his promptings. God has a plan that needs your cooperation. You are called to act powerfully in the lives of everyone around you. Take action, today!

You can find his two books:

The Mystic Next Door and Triumph of the Cross

So many men feel overwhelmed. We allow the distractions and tasks of the day to be more important than our loved ones. Worse, we often fail to take care of ourselves properly!

Productivity is not some magic pill or meditation technique, but a return to the simple basics that always work.

Humility is one of the hardest and most essential of virtues to grow in. It's painful, embarrassing, and well...humiliating!

The hard part is most people don't even really understand what humility is.

Join me in this episode as I start a new series on humility. The goal of this episode is just to explore what humility is, how to find our pride, and some basics of what to do. In subsequent episodes, I'll walk through each line of the litany of humility. First, however, we need some basics.

This episode is not going to be fun, comfortable, or easy to listen to. It may, however, be the most important podcast episode you listen to!

Sometimes the day that everything goes horribly, even tragically wrong, can be the best thing ever to happen to us.

We almost never see it that way at the time, but we worship a God of impossibilities. A God that does things that seem utterly impossible.

Join me in this episode as Ed Jozsa shares his miraculous, unbelievable story. After an accident that the doctors all agreed he should never have survived, Ed was given a series of truly mystical visions. They were a wake-up call to a man who was sleeping through his life. They can be a wake-up call to us as well.

Whether you are a father, grandfather, or thinking you might become a father one day, odds are that you aren't giving enough gravity to what that role really means.

A father is often even more critical in an older child's life than his mother - and research supports this scary (and politically incorrect) conclusion!

Join me in this episode as I explore the data about why fatherhood is so critical, ways that we can imitate our Heavenly Father, and practical tips to being a better father right now. Wherever you are in your journey as a father, something in this episode will challenge and inspire you to up your game.

Your children are counting on you!

While Eve was speaking to the serpent, Adam...stood by idle. He did not act.

How often do we also fail to act - either entirely or slowly?

Join me in this episode as I explore why it is so important to make today "Day One" or obedience to God's will, rather than waiting to obey "One Day" in the future when it's more convenient. God invites us to obedience.

If you have children that are currently being educated, you need to know about the attacks coming under the label of "Critical Race Theory."

CRT is devastating to children - it causes confusion, guilt, blame, and a lifetime of misunderstanding.

It's also demonic in origin.

Join me in this episode as CRT opposition expert Dr George Maurer walks through what is happening in schools and even home-schooling curriculum across the country in regards to CRT. He explains why it is so bad, and what you need to do as a parent to protect your children.

We worship a God of miracles. Sometimes they're subtle or slight - but sometimes they're not!

Sometimes the miracles are so big and powerful we're left to wonder how we ever doubted.

Join me in this episode as Joshua Marcengill shares his story about God's powerful and miraculous intervention in his life. Multiple times in his story, God brings a powerful healing. Now he has the opportunity to share his encounter with God with others.
