October 15 The Submissive Wife: The Right Way to Love Your Husband (w/ Mary Stanford)
Submission. A word that is a instant red flag to many modern women. It sounds like a rule to be enforced, and a way a husband can get his way no matter what. But, t's so much more than that.
Today we are joined by Dr. Mary Stanford, a theology professor from Christendom College, a wife of 26 years, a mother of 7, and the author of "The Obedience Paradox: Finding True Freedom in Marriage". Today we discuss what the Church really asks of wives and husbands and wives, why obedience and freedom are not opposites, and what a husband has to give before his leadership can be received.

September 03 Former Muslim and Oxford PhD: Why Your Education Failed You
Joined by former Muslim, Oxford PhD recipient, and university founder, Dr. Jacob Imam, today we passionately discuss why the contempt for working with your hands is not just modern, but pagan. We explore how the current education system leaves men in a world that cannot tell them who they are or what they are for. We also get into how the idea that Catholicism has “gone soft” is a false rhetoric and how Islam offers a false sense of strength.
From Andrew Tate, to converting from Islam, to what our young men need to be successful as a person in 2026, Jacob provides us with fuel and direction.

August 27 3 Requirements to a Successful Catholic Marriage
There is always the temptation to keep score. Every little disagreement becomes a legal discussion, and you try so hard to win the case and walk away victorious. But it costs you. 74% of divorced people say their spouse should have worked harder. 73% say they themselves had already done enough. Both cannot be true.
Today we discuss the importance of not making your marriage a constant battle to win and how wanting to win can cost you your marriage. We learn to listen to our spouse's heart, not just their words, and to recognize that our needs are God-given. Devin and Kim Schadt have been married thirty years, through cancer, poverty, miscarriage, and a daughter's brain injury. In their new book The Marriage Gap, they lay out the three things every thriving marriage does.

August 20 Why "Holy" Men Make Lazy Husbands (A Father of 9 Explains)
A man decides he is serious about his faith, and somewhere along the way that becomes the reason he stops trying. His work is sloppy, his day is unstructured, and his wife carries the house while he tells himself he is just not attached to worldly things. He is not being humble, he's using God as cover, and the men around him can see it even when he cannot.
Today we sit down with JJ Sanford, a father of nine and the president of the University of Dallas, to talk about the excuse Catholic men keep reaching for. We discuss why magnanimity and humility are sister virtues rather than opposites, why St. Joseph was not spending his Saturdays on the couch while Our Lady did the work, what it means to live your whole day as a prayer instead of fencing your faith into a morning offering and a Sunday Mass, and why outsourcing your thinking to a machine leaves you unable to answer the one question that actually matters: what is God calling you to do with what He gave you.
