Our culture faces a crisis of fatherhood. The Church, too, has been wounded by scandals that have marred the name of father. In such times, how can we grow in holiness and become better men and better fathers?

In this episode, I talk with Fr. Donald Calloway, creator and promoter of the new 33 day consecration to St. Joseph, patterned after St. Louis de Montfort's 33 day consecration to the Virgin Mary.

This powerful spiritual retreat is one of the most comprehensive treatments of the theology of St. Joseph. It prepares you to surrender yourself to the leadership of Jesus' earthly father and your spiritual father. Entrusted to St. Joseph's care, you will learn to grow in holiness and discover the truth that every man is called to be a father, regardless of their state in life.

In the show we discuss...

What consecration means

The theological basis for consecration to St. Joseph

What the mystics tell us about St. Joseph's life

Why many images of St. Joseph get it wrong

How St. Joseph helps us be better men

And more

Pornography addiction is an uncomfortable topic, and many would rather ignore its prevalence. But in a world where over half of men regularly look at pornography at least once per week, ignoring it would be foolish. It is causing real harm to individuals, marriages, and families and crippling men's ability to lead as they desire to.

In this episode, I sit down with https://www.peterkleponis.com (Dr. Peter Kleponis) to discuss the problem of porn and ways men can heal.

Dr. Kleponis has over 20 years of professional experience working with individuals, couples, families, and organizations. He specializes in marriage and family therapy, pastoral counseling, resolving anger, men’s issues, and pornography addiction recovery.

Among the issues we discussed are:

The prevalence of pornography addiction

What makes porn so attractive to men

What porn does to your brain and body

The dangers of early exposure

The 5 reasons porn is incredibly addictive

The role of emotions in pornography use

The number one key to beating pornography

How to talk to your wife about your pornography use

J.J. Wright's style cannot be easily categorized. Trained as a jazz improviser at the New School for Jazz in NYC, he's also passionate about sacred music. Palestrina and Bach vie with Monk and Cannonball Adderley as just a few of his harmonic and melodic inspirations. While with the U.S. Naval Academy Band, Wright performed for the President—as well as several other high-profile diplomatic gigs—and with the Caribbean Jazz Project: Afro Bop Alliance, recording and performing with vibraphonist Dave Samuels. The album was nominated for a GRAMMY for 'Best Latin Jazz Album' and won the Latin GRAMMY in the same category. In addition to Mr. Samuels, J.J. has had the privilege of performing with Billy Hart, Ike Sturm, Nate Wood, Chris Cheek, Zach Harmon, Mark Ferber, Matt Ulery, and Delfeayo Marsalis.
