In this powerful episode of our Lenten Reflection Series with St. Joseph, I share a moving meditation from Mother Teresa titled I Thirst for You.

Holy Thursday. The Last Supper. The institution of the Eucharist. And a call to humility. 

Easter is Sunday. Today, we aredigging into Christ’s radical love with St. Joseph as our guide. Jesus washed His disciples’ feet and gave us His Body and Blood. This isn’t just a story. It’s our daily reality, a taste of heaven in every Mass. Peter balked, but Jesus insisted: service and sacrifice define us.  

The Catechism ties this night to t...

Spy Wednesday is here and we’re switching it up. Just three days from Easter, I’m inviting you into 10 minutes of sacred silence. Something different today: a chance to pause.

Your challenge: Be still for 10 minutes. Drop the podcast speed to normal, let Jeff’s calming music guide you, and reflect—on Chris...

Tuesday of Holy Week. Only four days until Easter, and we’re going deep. Yesterday was about simplifying; today, I’m leading you through the St. Joseph Rosary, a powerful prayer reflecting on five mysteries of his life. Never heard of it? I stumbled across it last year, and it’s perfect for our Lenten journey with him. Grab your beads, hit pause if you need to, and pray with me. 

The rosary is the weapon of our times. It is a weapon...

Men, Holy Week is upon us, and the finish line is in sight. Whether Lent has been a triumph or a struggle, now is your chance to lock in. Easter’s close, but we’re not there yet.   

St. Joseph lived hidden, guarding the God-man in silence while the world ignored him. His humility shone in poverty and trials, his faith unshaken by darkness. He’s our model now. Here’s your challenge: Simplify your life today. Too many prayers? Too muc...

One day away. Palm Sunday is tomorrow. Holy Week’s knocking. Are you ready? 

I’m diving into the privileges of devotion to St. Joseph, pulling from Father Calloway’s Consecration to St. Joseph and the wisdom of saints like St. Josemaría Escrivá. 

Today’s about why loving St. Joseph matters. Blessed Maria Teresa of St. Joseph went from a Protestant home to a nun, leaning on him through rejection and hardship. Venerable Mary of Ágreda ...

Day 33 of our Lenten journey with St. Joseph is upon us and we are just two days from Palm Sunday.  Feeling worn down? This episode’s for you. I’m diving into Pope Leo XIII’s 1889 encyclical, Quamquam Pluries, unpacking why St. Joseph’s intercession is our lifeline in tough times. 

Pope Leo saw faith fading, charity cooling, and the Church under attack. He urged Catholics to turn to St. Joseph, Mary’s spouse and guardian of Jesus, f...

From occult d...

Day 31 of our Lenten journey with St. Joseph brings a powerful analogy that’ll hit home for every Catholic man striving to live with purpose.

Redemptoris Custos shines light on St. Joseph and how he carried Jesus and Mary, God’s most precious treasures, and didn’t crack. What do you think he will do for you?

Life will surprise you. It likes to throw curveballs at you at unexpected times. Will you swing or duck? Lent is nearing Holy Week, and we’re reflecting on how a righteous man like Joseph faced chaos with virtue.  

Picture this: Joseph’s world flips upside down, yet once God’s will clicks, he doesn’t hesitate. He steps up as husband, guardian, and defender. Today’s culture tells men to run from unplanned challenges, abandoning women...

Men, Lent’s halfway mark hits with Laetare Sunday, a rose-colored call to rejoice. In this homily, Fr. Dom unpacks its power to refuel your climb toward Easter. This is no fluffy talk; it’s a reality check for men to be more serious about God.  

Fr. Dom dives into the Prodigal Son, St. Paul’s push for reconciliation, and why humility and fear of the Lord unlock strength. He’s been the lost son—sin-bound until confession at 27 set hi...

Demons are clawing at your soul: temptation, rage, despair, real and relentless. Who’s the warrior you call when hell unleashes its worst? St. Joseph, Terror of Demons, the silent carpenter who makes evil tremble. In this Lenten Reflection we’re deep in the fight. St. Joseph didn’t just flee to Egypt with Jesus and Mary; he stared down Satan’s hounds and won. Saints like St. John Bosco and St. Faustina saw it: invoke him, and demon...

The two guarentees in life are death and taxes. Maybe not today, but death is out there, real and heavy. Who’s in your corner when the end closes in?

Gentlemen, ever wonder what St. Joseph felt when Mary’s pregnancy rocked his world? In this Manly Catholic Lenten Reflection, we dive into a rare gem, the Mystical City of God by Venerable Mary of Jesus of Agreda, distilled by Michael DeMaio.

Life is hard. Isn't it? Beats you down. Kicks you. Then picks you up and does it again. 

But when the valley is dark, who’s your anchor? Jesus, of course. But also St. Joseph, the Comfort of the Afflicted. Today, we unpack how this silent saint, who faced poverty, exile, and doubt, lifts us from misery. 

He’s no statue. He hears your cry. He is a brother who’s been there: losing Jesus, shielding Mary, and battling demons. The Ch...
