Today, John and Sam are excited to announce a second week with the new host to our show, Devin Schadt. His depth of knowledge, charism, and understanding is a joy to bring to our listeners. This week we talk about what holiness is NOT and the failed thought process we often fall into while striving to be better. We spend time expanding upon how fear and work are stages we often go through in understanding how to grow into a loving relationship and union with God.
Finally, each week we are going to answer one of your questions during the podcast. This week we have a question from a father who is trying to get ideas to help raise his son to respect the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. If you have any questions, please, record yourself on your phone and send us the audio clip to podcast@catholicgentleman.com. Or just send us your question and we will read it on air.

How To

Men can choose to live a mediocre life. We see this throughout our society, in our churches, and among our families and friends. The first step to changing this is waking up to the reality of this truth and becoming aware of how you are falling into the trap. Satan wants you to stay trapped in this state, and in today's episode, we discuss 3 signs that the devil has caught you. They are often subtle, but they are very prevalent in men's lives today. 
Stay tuned as we delve into these signs and provide practical steps on how to break free and lead a more fulfilling life. Let’s get started!
We also get to answer a question from a mom who is concerned about her son's sexual addictions and wants to know how she can help.


3 Sure Signs That the Devil Owns You

Women need the strength of men. It is not just a biological reality but one that expands to all aspects of a man's relationship with a woman. Regardless of what popular opinion, ideologies, or political agendas might suggest, without the strength of men our society would crumble. Today, Sam, Devin, and John discuss a recent Kent State University study that aimed to prove masculinity is inherently flawed and dominating and that the more awareness of this issue the better our society will be. Instead, it proved the opposite because of what it failed to realize about love and the benefits of masculinity. From here we discuss 5 ways women need the strength of men.
We also get to answer a question from a listener whose girlfriend is more advanced in her faith 'credentials' than him and he is concerned about how he will lead.

"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room", stated Pascal, and this is the issue we tackle today.

Today we give a road map for prayer, one that can allow you to commit to, expand from, and stick with at all times.
