Today, John Heinen and Devin Schadt unpack Mackie's provocative comments, explore the controversy surrounding his statements, and delve into the fundamental truths of masculine identity.

Who was St. Joseph in real life? Not some distant figure on a pedestal. No, he was a flesh-and-blood man. He had to pray, listen to God, and live chastely. Picture a man wrestling with his longing for greatness and his desire to serve God. 

There were times when St. Joseph didn’t know what to do. He felt helpless. But he knew where to turn: God. And he knew how to do it: entering into silence. That’s what makes him great.

We cover:

• Four pillars of greatness.

• St. Joseph’s authority in the Holy Family.

• Your responsibility to embrace the dignity of women.

• Looking to God for your identity and mission.

• And more.

We are called to radical conversion, not some lukewarm, complacent Catholicism, but an on fire passionate existence in pursuit of life everlasting. Christ declared, "And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.” What did he mean by this text, and how often do men use their family as an excuse to avoid not fully committing to Him? We are going to go into this reality as well as offer 5 challenges and the enemies to those challenges, to help you live the best Lent ever.

Today we address a great conversation that occurred on the Diary of a CEO debating the economic effects of Trump's election. The conversation quickly turned into the global crisis of masculinity today and the commentators found themselves unexpectedly on common grounds. John Heinen and Devin Schadt listen and respond to clips from atheist Scott Galloway, agnostic Konstantin Kisin, Daniel Priestly, and Steven Bartlett as they try and make worldly sense of what it means to be a man. We discuss the overwhelming large global issue that occurs when masculinity is denied, Trump's view of masculinity, why men need a code of life, and how to raise sons in times like these.
