Interview with Devin Schadt: The Rule: Counsels and Directives for Husbands and Fathers

In this compelling episode of the Respect Life Radio podcast, Devin Schadt of the Fathers of St. Joseph apostolate invites men into a transformative journey guided by the quiet strength of St. Joseph. Drawing on his apostolate’s four pillars—embrace silence, embrace woman, embrace the child, and embrace charitable authority—Schadt presents a spirituality of fatherhood that equips men to deeply understand and live out their roles as husbands and fathers. These pillars become channels through which fathers embody the face, touch, and voice of the Heavenly Father—especially critical for men seeking a deeper understanding of their role within the Holy Family’s model of love.

This episode also shines a spotlight on Schadt’s recent handbook, The Rule: Counsels and Directives for Husbands and Fathers. It distills practical spiritual guidance into short, powerful meditations—rooted in the four pillars of St. Joseph—to help men pray more deliberately, affirm their wives spiritually and emotionally, reflect the Father’s heart to their children and stay vigilant against spiritual threats. It is a must-listen for any man wrestling with what it means to be a husband or father in a faith-filled way. It offers both theologic depth and actionable wisdom grounded in the humble, hidden strength of St. Joseph—faithfully capturing the vocation of earthly fathers who reflect heavenly love.
