What does it look like to live your Catholic faith in a workplace that doesn’t always share your values?
What happens when the bravest thing you can do isn't rushing into a burning building, but standing firm in your convictions in a culture that demands compromise?
In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, Benjamin O'Brien, a career firefighter and the author of The Proving Grounds: A Catholic on Ladder 17, talks about what it means to be a Catholic in a culture that is not always so Catholic.
He takes us behind the scenes of life on the front lines, not just firefighting, but in standing up for truth, for moral conviction, and for what one knows to be right, even if others in the workplace strongly disagree.
Ben shares his journey as a Catholic man trying to live his faith with integrity in one of the most high-pressure environments imaginable.
From workplace harassment and pride month mandates to anxiety, fatherhood, and learning how to forgive without being walked on - his story is raw, relatable, and deeply rooted in the spiritual battle. We are all called to fight.
This conversation is both encouraging and grounding, offering a vision of how Catholics can live their faith with integrity, joy, and purpose.
