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 and kids, and staying at work until 10 PM to "provide for your family." Joseph shows us differently. He prays, discerns, and acts. My challenge to you: take that hurdle in your life and hit your knees. Seek God’s will through prayer today. Don’t let the world’s Herod choke out your call to greatness.
We kick off with St. Michael’s prayer and close with St. Joseph, terror of demons—your spiritual wingmen. This episode’s for men ready to ditch passivity, root themselves in Scripture, and prepare for life’s game days. One week from Holy Week, it’s time to fight. Hit play, brothers—let’s get to work.
References:
- Holy Bible (Matthew 1:19)
- St. Michael Prayer
- St. Joseph Terror of Demons Prayer
Powerful Quotes:
- “No more passivity, no more excuses, no more lukewarm faith. This is your battle cry, your call to arms.”
- “Once his eyes were opened to the will of God, without hesitation, he leaned into it fully and embraced it with great virtue.”
- “We were not made for comfort. We were made for greatness.”
Key Takeaway:
Pray today. Take your latest curveball to God, discern His will, and act—don’t let chaos win.
