Many men want to do better as husbands and fathers but feel lost on where to begin. In this episode, John welcomes back author and founder of the Fathers of St. Joseph, Devin Schadt, to talk about his new book The Rule, a practical guide for living the spirituality of St. Joseph in everyday life.

Devin shares how the book was born out of his own discouragement and how men repeatedly asked for clear, concrete direction on becoming the men God created them to be. He and John discuss the pillars of St. Joseph’s life, the importance of sonship, vocation, and spiritual authority, and why true growth happens when men embrace small daily practices with humility and perseverance.

If you have ever felt overwhelmed by your responsibilities or unsure how to take the next step in your spiritual life, this conversation offers simple, actionable wisdom grounded in the heart of St. Joseph.

Advent is a season that invites every man to return home to the Father. In this episode, John sits down with his friend Paul George—speaker, author, and founder of The Art of Living—to talk about Paul’s new Advent devotional for men, Feast, and the parable at the heart of it: the Prodigal Son.

John and Paul discuss why this story hits so deeply for men, how it mirrors our own patterns of pride, failure, repentance, and renewal, and why Scripture meets us differently every time we return to it. They walk through the themes of famine, forging, the Father’s embrace, and the feast that follows, showing how God uses our brokenness as the very place where healing begins.

So many men live with a quiet fear that who they really are will not be accepted. In this episode, John and Victor talk openly about how that fear shows up in two ways: changing ourselves to fit in, or pulling away so no one gets close enough to reject us.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to be someone you’re not, this conversation will help you take the next steps towards remembering we are beloved children of God.

In this episode, John and Victor reflect on how our weaknesses, sins, and struggles reveal our shared humanity and the deep need we all have for mercy, healing, and community. Through Scripture and personal experience, they show how God can use even our lowest moments to restore us and draw us together.

If you have ever felt unworthy or alone in your struggles, this conversation will remind you that God never wastes brokenness. It is not a barrier to grace but a bridge that leads you back to Him and to the people He has placed in your life.

Grace and hope have the power to change everything. Join us in the pew this week to reflect on personal growth, faith, and the everyday choice to be an agent of grace rather than destruction.

When we choose kindness over judgment and presence over indifference, we allow God’s love to work through us. Hope isn’t just a feeling; it’s a truth rooted in Christ’s promises that gives strength in every struggle. Through small acts of compassion and encouragement, we can remind others that they’re seen, valued, and never alone. Each of us has the chance to be a light in someone’s darkness, helping them rediscover purpose, joy, and faith.
