Guardian angels are perhaps almost as minimized as the devil in today's society.  While the devil is very real and very powerful, so are our angels.  They are a constant force ready to intercede for us both directly and indirectly.  We need to ask for their help and use them in our own quest for holiness.

Today I give 6 points to consider about guardian angels that should help to relieve the concern and fear raised by considering the devil.  We need to ask for help in order to get it.  I look at many bible verses and quotes from saints throughout history to help make my case that our guardian angels are indeed a great gift.

"He who sups with the devil should use a long spoon."  I think we all should view the devil with a bit more seriousness and gravity.  He is very real and very dangerous.  He is an immensely powerful being with a single goal - the destruction of all human kind and to drag them down into Hell.

He has, however, been defeated.  He will ultimately lose completely, but can do great damage in the mean-time.  Today I bring up 5 truths about the devil and discuss this great adversity.  Hopefully you will find some useful content about this most evil of creatures.

There are many types of seasons in life - not only the weather.  There are seasons of good times and bad, seasons of joy and loss.  Each season is given to us by God for a reason.  We can find great benefit and value by embracing that season, even if we don't see the value initially.

In this episode I give you 6 reasons why you should embrace a season.  Some of the reasons apply to the weather, some apply to other types of seasons.  Regardless of what season you're in, I really encourage you do slow down and take a deep dive into that season.  You will get great value - because God has a plan for you in each and every season.

Sometimes it can seem overwhelming to try to carve out the time it takes to attend a convention or a conference.  In the last episode we had a great discussion with Bill Donaghy about the upcoming Theology of the Body congress.  In this episode, I want to challenge all of us about the importance of setting a large block of time apart for spiritual growth.

Attending a conference isn't fun or sensational, but it can change your life.  It's easy to listen to the devil's distractions about how we don't have time or can't find child care - but instead I think we all need to think more carefully about just how much benefit can come.  In this episode, I offer you some reasons to make that time.

This week we have a special guest - Bill Donaghy has joined us to talk about how we can understand all of our relationships in the light of the Theology of the Body (TOB).  The TOB was originally a series of homilies by Pope John Paul II that spells out how the fundamental truths of our identity can be found in scripture and apply to our daily lives.  Bill helps us apply these in very concrete ways to life as a modern man.

Bill is a speaker at the 2016 International Theology of the Body Congress coming to the Ontario Convention Center this September in Southern California.  You can read more about the congress at www.tobcongress.com.  It should be a great opportunity to study, learn, and grow.  You can learn more about TOB at http://tobinstitute.org/

Change is hard, especially sometimes for us men.  Still, God calls us to live our lives and that means change. Making the wrong change can often be worse than making no change - so how do we know what to do?

Recently I've gone through a major change in my life as I've changed professions, and moved into a much more risky scenario.  Along the way I had to try to figure out what was the right thing to do, am I doing what I want or what God wants?

In this episode I give you the tips that were helpful for me to make this choice.  Hopefully they will help you to make the best choices you can when you hit your moments of change.

Pride is a dangerous component of every sin, and of every person.  We all suffer from pride.  The less prideful you think you are, the more you actually are likely to be.  To overcome this pride requires more than simply embracing religion or speaking poorly of oneself.  It requires a change of heart.

In this episode, I discuss 5 steps to becoming more humble.  I draw heavily upon C S Lewis, both in his writings and in his book The Screwtape Letters.  Humility is hard, and I hope that you will find these suggestions to be helpful for you to overcome your own challenges with pride!

I think most of us can quickly point out pride in others (especially politicians).  How easily though can we look at ourselves?  Pride is an elusive and tricky subject, it easily escapes our detection.

In this episode I discuss 6 dangers of pride.  I talk about how it can sneak into our life and disguise itself, causing great havoc.  Next episode I'll talk about how to find true humility.

While there are many reasons we may not be evangelizing, I think all of us realize we should do more.  Christ has given us a gift beyond comprehension by His death on the cross.  The only reasonable response is to share this story.  We do not have any trouble sharing our story with a new restaurant or a new movie - why do we have so much trouble sharing our encounter with Christ?

In this episode, I hope to give you some help with this.  I offer you 5 practical tips to help you share your story with others.  It is not easy - the devil himself is dedicated to preventing this.  We have to be intention, we have to remember the importance that sharing our story has.  I know that you have the power to make a difference in the lives of others.

We alll fall short of what we have been called to.   For those of us who are Christian, who know that we have a special charter to show Jesus to the world.  Yet, we tend not to do that. Why?

In this episode, I explore 6 reasons why all of us are not evangelizing - are not showing what Jesus has done in our lives.  I hope that, as you consider these reasons, you will find motivation to change; reasons to really share who and what Jesus is.  Evangelization seems hard, but can be so easy!
