Marcellino D'Ambrosio is the third D’Ambrosio to join Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein at The BeatiDudes’ tiny table. Being the fifth Marcellino in the family and his son being the sixth, this Marcellino has taken to the nickname Lino while referring to his son as Celli.

This episode is jam-packed with a little bit of everything - - days of mayhem, a punk rock band, one year of seminary (aka Catholic rehab), Ave Maria University, the founding of the Catholic Creatives movement and community, marriage, the birth of a child, and additional markers along Marcellino’s fascinating journey as a front-line evangelist.

Today, Marcellino is the CMO for Sherwood Fellows, an independent creative agency in Dallas, Texas, specializing in strategy, branding, and video. They love providing marketing for market challengers, underdogs, and contrarians.

Marcellino is also busy promoting the feature-length film Triumph of the Heart, set to open in mid-2025, alongside the film’s writer and director, his twin brother Anthony.

David Rinaldi, President of NET Ministries, shares an incredible journey of faith and hope in this BeatiDudes bonus show with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein.

During his days in college, David enjoyed Bible studies and small groups with friends who were mostly anti-Catholic. During World Youth Day in Denver, David reluctantly took a youth group to hear Pope John Paul II, during which he experienced a conversion of heart that brought him back to Catholicism.

David’s post-college experience in the Air Force also played a formative role in his faith journey. He and other friends wanted to evangelize young people in Minnesota, and that was when he first encountered NET Ministries. This group had already been established to do exactly what David felt called to do in his heart. Years later, he told his commanding officer in the Air Force about the pull on his heart for ministry, and that man proceeded to pull out his Bible to join David in prayer and support.

David Rinaldi journeyed from Minnesota to “put out into the deep” with Jeff Schiefelbein, Paul Kolker, and Nick Bezner at the tiny table.

As the President of NET Ministries, David leads a joyful and faith-filled team that challenges young Catholics, through relational ministry, to follow Christ and embrace a life of community in the Church. With over 25 years of experience as a Catholic leader and speaker, David empowers their staff and missionaries to fulfill Jesus’ command to go and make disciples.

NET Ministries (aka National Evangelization Team) started as a group of college students in St. Paul, Minnesota, who were empowered by the Holy Spirit and started retreats. It only grew from there. After 43 years of NET, the ministry grew throughout the United States and has been replicated in Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Uganda, and Australia.

Former NET missionaries continue to be involved in their parishes and many join Religious Life with more than 80 Priests and 3 Bishops.

During their training, NET volunteers learn formation, reconciliation, uplifting speech, the power of being heard, and the most efficient way to set up chairs at NET events.

Join NET as they set up a regional hub in Dallas, Texas.

TJ Bogan, aka Theron Jake, founder of Follow My Camino, explains his journey to the Camino with Jeff Schiefelbein, Paul Kolker, and Nick Bezner on this Friday episode.

Originally inspired by the movie The Way, TJ took a long journey before finally making it to the Camino. And for him, the Camino was the vocation path.

As St Augustine said, “It is solved by walking.”

Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims walk the Camino de Santiago each year for spiritual formation, healing, personal growth, adventure, and cultural exploration. The Camino de Santiago, also known as the “Way of St. James,” has many routes (Francis, Portugal, Primitivo, and del Norte, to name a few) that all lead to the same place: the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, where the shrine of Saint James the Great is in the cathedral itself.

Tune in as The BeatiDudes talk with TJ Bogan, the founder and director of Follow My Camino, about the many facets of the Camino and the breakthroughs he and others have experienced during their pilgrimages.

Fr. John Anthony Boughton, CFR, grew up down the road from the BeatiDudes studio in Dallas, Texas. He graduated from the Virginia Military Institute and was commissioned into the US Naval Reserve. After his service, Fr. John Anthony worked in sales.

Fr. John Anthony had a conversion to the Catholic faith during a series of miracles and encounters in Medjugorje. He then joined the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal in 1996 and was ordained to the priesthood in 2005.

Fr. John Anthony provides The BeatiDudes with a reflection on forgiveness and tools for achieving deeper forgiveness. Forgiveness is a choice of the will. It is not an emotion. It is not forgetting. It is a grace-filled act of the will that relies on God to be complete.

Fr. John Anthony suggests a 30-day forgiveness retreat using the following formula for praying over your agitations:

“In the name of Jesus, I forgive _____ for ______, and I bless them.”

And for those playing along with BeatiDudes Bingo – this show is jam-packed with rarely used words, including betwixt, agita, and jackanape.
