Guys, my son was asleep on me when I recorded this, so forgive my mic.

The point remains: death to self is interior and intense but that intensity can’t be misplaced outwardly.

Fatherhood as we know it is in a messy state. I don’t care much about how or why. I care about what you’re going to do about it.

We have the sacraments; we’re not using them. We’re less obedient than ever and struggling with leadership.

Here’s how to change it today.

The Mass isn't for comfort or preference. It's for obedience over preference, silence over noise, and sacrifice over sentiment. Train like an apostle.

Catholic fatherhood isn’t an interruption to prayer...it is prayer.

This video is a tactical formation manual for Catholic husbands under pressure: spiritually collapsing, emotionally depleted, and tired of advice written for monks.

You’ll learn how to govern your home like a priest, embed prayer inside daily discipline, and stop trying to escape to God when He’s already in the house.

This is an asset, not content.

Your obedience is equity. Your vocation is fire.

Start building equity in your spiritual formation today.

My marriage was on the brink years ago.

I was out of communion with the Church, spiritually alone, and unequipped. No priest. No mentor. No map. Too many Catholic husbands are in that same place now, drowning in silence, begging God for something real. Here it is. It’s the training manual I wish I had.

The world is upside down right now.

You don’t need to start doomspiraling. You do need to take stock of what you’re contributing.

The best thing you can do as a Catholic husband and father is to keep bleeding into your vocation. That’s it. That’s the big secret.

Make sure that when this all boils over, you can say you kept the faith.

To every Catholic husband and father face down in the dirt today who is struggling, exhausted, spent

Remember, this was the posture of the Desert Fathers. They chose to lie prostrate in the dust, in surrender, waiting for God, begging to be formed, and not one of them got up the same.

You’re not finished. This is formation, and he’s working on you.

You’re in the furnace.

Stay there.

God sees, God speaks, and when He does, He lifts men up, and He sends them out. Be ready.
