and a bunch of other things mixed in. 

Enjoy. 

First, my prayers and intentions go out to out to Charlie Kirk and his family. He was a great man. I feel inspired by him. 

I felt it would be inappropriate to speak about him in regards to anything other then being called to life and purpose. I hope that has come across in the episode. 

This episode is a mix of my feelings following Kirks assassination and the realization of what we are called to do in our mission. 

Its more a bunch of random thoughts then anything else. 

It's time to start things up again. 

To much to talk about it all. To much to build it all. To much to learn it all. To much life out there to live it all. But damn it, we will do what we can with time we have to praise our Creator the best we can. 

This episode is a solo episode where I talk about mindset and the topic of one's mission. 

Season 2 has officially commenced. 

Dan Horvath is an aviation enthusiast who cowrote a book with his dad. He researches ww2 aviation, specifically the confirmed hits of axis and allied planes over Hungarian soil. 

We speak on his new book, ww2 history, the field research and writing of the book. Hungarian culture and history. Modern architecture, culture, and proxies. 

Myself, Dan and Pat take the briefs off of our recent marathon experience. 

Topics include training, the idea of belonging in athletics, and the concept of push vs pull motivation. 

I hope this gives the inspiration to join your first race or get into athletics. 

Well, it seems more necessary than ever to understand man's role in relation to the earth and to each other. What is our work? What is property? Why is it important? 

What does the Church say about all of this? 

Enjoy part one of a discussion and read through of Rerum Novarum. 

I sit down with JPC and Jozef Raiche, and we speak about all sorts of things.

JP and Joe have both completed a year of school in Cali and visited Rome. They offer unique perspectives on what the challenges and opportunities of social life, school, and life as a young adult in 2025 is like.  

Topics:

Aura forming and its limitations. 

Dating. 

School. 

Menourship. 

Education. 

Creativity. 

Believe in yourself. 

You are the chosen one for your life. 

Thanks again fellas. 

Enjoy!

A good solo pod for your Saturday morning. 

Lots of value if I say so. 

Get fired up but in a good way listening to this episode. 

And feel free to get on the newsletter attached in the footnotes! 

Joe MacMaster is a renowned fiddle player from Cape Breton who is currently studying at the seminary. Joe is a theologian who loves to explore topics relevant to our time. Honorable mention, he also has a purple belt in BJJ. 

Sam is from PEI and is also in the seminary. He is a brilliant thinker and speaker who I have recently gotten to know. Sam is interested in the liturgy of the mass, among many other areas. 

We cover the concepts of God as transcendent and imminent and how this applies to masculine vs feminine. Why women can't be priests, clericalism and the collapse of Christian culture, roles, authority, hierarchy of vocations, and Joe and Sam's personal vocations.
