WE Will Revolution

Dan interviews Father Alan Bridges, the newly ordained chaplain at Donovan Catholic High School, about his Navy and outdoorsman background, his relationship-first approach to youth ministry through sports and a planned fishing trip, and his goal of demystifying then remystifying the priesthood so students can grow in virtue and authentic faith.

The names we give one another can wound, define, encourage, and inspire. A nickname can become a burden someone carries or a virtue someone grows into. Jesus shows us the difference between careless labeling and calling a person toward their God-given purpose.

What do the greatest comebacks in sports have in common with the greatest comeback stories in Christianity? From impossible victories on the field to Peter, Mary Magdalene, the Prodigal Son, Paul, and Thomas, this episode explores failure, faith, forgiveness, and hope. And ultimately, we discover the greatest comeback of all—the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Don’t confuse the current score with the final score. With God, the story isn’t over.

Dan visits Bethlehem Catholic High School to talk with principal Dr. Dean Donoher, chaplain Father Stephen Isaac, and athletic director Matt Corsi about launching Catholic Athletes for Christ, alongside a schoolwide “Virtue Equals Strength” program which grew from a shared sense that sports should form disciples, not just athletes and prioritize putting Christ ahead of winning.

Dan visits Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, at the foot of the Cross, where the victory was won by her greatest act of love: refusing to leave.

Ted Williams, the Red Sox Hall of Famer often called the greatest hitter of all time, had extraordinary 20/10 vision that supposedly let him see the commissioner’s signature on a pitched ball—but that the gift was paired with relentless practice and study of pitchers. Dan explores physical sight and the work of learning to see the game as analogous to seeing our spiritual opponents clearly.
