This is a replay of Episode 38. 

Once we say "no", we can continue to move towards our yes. But we have to say "no". If this is new to us, it will be one of the hardest things we need to do. But it will yield so much fruit in our lives. Let's start to say "no" to those things that stand in the way of achieving what the Lord is putting before us.

What would our finances look like if we truly believed that everything we have belongs to God? In this introduction to the upcoming four-part series, Catholic Men, Faith and Finances, Paul shares how our faith should shape the way we make financial decisions, work with our spouse, practice generosity, and choose the lifestyle we live. Ultimately, it all comes back to one question: Is Jesus really Lord of our finances?

Someday, if we're blessed with a long life, we may find ourselves on the other side of the conversation. We may need help from our own children. In the final episode of the Walking with Our Aging Parents series, Paul talks about having the humility to let our children help, choosing the right people for different responsibilities, and inviting them into our plans before a crisis occurs. Growing older may mean giving up some control, but it can also mean giving our children the opportunity to serve us, honor us, and simply love us.

Caring for aging parents can bring out the best in a family, but it can also create disagreements, resentment, and difficult decisions. In Part 3 of our Walking with Our Aging Parents series, Paul talks about navigating this season together—working with siblings, communicating well, sharing responsibilities, protecting marriages, and finding support when you don't have siblings to lean on. Through it all, the goal isn't for everyone to do the same amount, but to make sure Mom and Dad are loved and cared for while protecting the family relationships that matter along the way.

When aging parents begin to need more help, the worst time to figure everything out is in the middle of an emergency. In Part 2 of our Walking with Our Aging Parents series, Paul talks through the practical steps families can take now—from powers of attorney and health care directives to finances, passwords, important documents, and the Legacy File. Good preparation won't eliminate the difficulty of a crisis, but it can replace unnecessary confusion with clarity, peace, and the ability to focus on loving and caring for the people who once cared for us.

We may take a break from work, routines, and schedules, but we never take a break from our mission as Christians. In this episode, Paul explores what it means to approach vacations through a Catholic lens, seeing every trip as an opportunity to bring Christ's love to our spouse, our family, and every person God places in our path. Before you leave for your next vacation, ask one simple question: "Lord, who do You want me to love while I'm there?"
