The Catholic Gentleman is one of the most impactful brands for equipping men to live for Christ by serving their families, neighbors, and the church. In this week’s episodes, the owner and director of The Catholic Gentleman, John Heinen, joins the BeatiDudes for a well-balanced dose of folly and formation.

The show starts with a reflection on Pope Saint John Paul II’s use of Jeff’s favorite word, penultimate, in Evangelium Vitae when he states that life on earth is not an "ultimate" but a "penultimate" reality.

John and his wife have a large family, including children here on Earth and others in Heaven, and they are currently expecting another child. Please offer a prayer for their entire family during the show.

John is also the Vice President of a marketing firm called Fuzati, which is a fun combination of the words fusion, technology, and information. They help clients with business strategy, marketing, social media, and strategy implementation.

Through the efforts of the team at Fuzati, The Catholic Gentleman has become the most recognizable online men’s apostolate. Each week hundreds of thousands of men around the world visit their site for articles and products designed to encourage a life of authentic manhood. The Catholic Gentleman is one of our favorite podcasts, give it a lesson.

The BeatiDudes have a lot of fun on this week’s Blessed are the Joke Makers, during which they must complete the sentence, “The eleventh plague {blank},” as an aging beauty queen.

John reflects on what St. Augustine said about the fall of man and how three things were ruptured: our relationship with God, our relationship with others, and our relationship internally. The conversation goes deeper into virtues and how we become slaves to our desires when we don’t keep passion, profit, and power in check.

John and the Dudes take on a new question from The BeatiDudes (TBD) Question Deck: What are you struggling with?

The show concludes with an incredible rendition of Reverse Simpsons called “The Bread of Wife Discourse.” This segment was suggested by Jarod Frank and sponsored by his company, Wealth Coordination Partners. He aims to bring his wealth management expertise to more Catholics, check him out at https://www.wealthcoordinationpartners.com/ and https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerod-frank/.

But wait – John has a surprise twist on the Bread of Wife Discourse that you won’t want to miss.
