Losing to Win

Sometimes we forget that Lent is more than a season of waiting for Easter—it’s a chance to transform our lives.

Join us this week as we remember the power of humility and how what the world may call losing will actually bring us closer to true perfection. The cross didn’t look like winning to the Apostles, but through His death and resurrection, Christ won for us the greatest reward of all.

Fix your eyes on Christ and take the time to listen and learn from Him.

Lent: Keep Showing Up

Lent is a journey filled with challenges, but what matters most is not perfection—it’s perseverance. Setbacks and failures are inevitable, but giving up is the easy way out, and you can’t expect to grow stronger by always taking the easy path. Whether through fasting, prayer, or simply showing up, Lent is an opportunity to repent and draw closer to the Lord.

Join us in the pew this week for a reminder that failure doesn’t have to be the end—what truly matters is the courage to begin again.

Like St. Joseph with Devin Schadt

This week we welcome Devin Schadt into the pew to discuss the importance of authentic fatherhood, and how embracing the example of St. Joseph can and will transform your life.

Devin Schadt is the co-founder of The Fathers of St. Joseph, an apostolate dedicated to the renewal of authentic fatherhood. He is also a host on The Catholic Gentleman podcast. Devin reflects on his faith journey, describing his wayward youth and how God reached him at his lowest point. He explains the four pillars of Josephian Fatherhood—silence, woman, children, and charitable authority—and how they are invaluable tools of sanctity for all fathers and husbands.

Check out Devin’s new daily Lenten devotional here

Lent: Leaving Your Idols Behind

Happy Fat Tuesday!

As we dive headfirst into Lent, take a moment to reflect on the things in our lives that we need to let go of. It could be a bad habit or addiction, a fear or grudge, or even our tendency to test God and demand signs and wonders to justify our belief.

Take time to consider what you prioritize over God in your life, then find ways to shift that focus. Lent is one of the many gifts the Holy Spirit and the Church have given us to deepen our faith and realign our lives with Jesus.

Join us this week as we strive to leave behind our idols, pick up our crosses, and walk with Christ.

Do Men’s Groups Really Work? with Fr. David Aufiero

Fr. David Aufiero grew up in a troubled home, and after losing his father and grandmother, he reluctantly met with a local priest to talk through his difficulties. That one conversation led him to become the man he is today.

Fr. David knows well the struggles that men face and that the only way to overcome them is to bring the things we hide in the dark into the light. But it’s hard for men to open up and be vulnerable. How do you even begin to reach a whole parish?

That’s when he came across Just a Guy in The Pew. We were able to provide him with the tools and resources to get started, and even go in person to his parish to help launch this group for men. Now, more than a year later, Fr. David testifies to the positive effects that come from creating a space for men to support and challenge each other to grow in holiness.

Join John and Fr. David this week as they talk about the fruits and transformations they have seen firsthand from developing strong men’s groups.

What God Calls Great w/ Peter Herbeck

We know what the world considers greatness for men; if you’re rich, famous, piling up accolades and running your life on your terms, you’re great in the eyes of the world. As men, we have a deep desire for greatness, but at the end of the day, if we’re not careful, we can look at our lives and think, “Man, my life is kind of irrelevant.”

Now, God bless the guys who can achieve those things. But the Church looks at that and says, “That’s good, but it’s not true greatness. That’s not what is celebrated in Heaven for eternity.” True greatness looks like Jesus, taking the position of a slave, emptying Himself on a cross so that we might have eternal life.

Join John and his guest, Renewal Ministries executive vice president Peter Herbeck, as they talk about how to pursue the greatness God values.

And be sure to check out Renewal Ministries and the awesome ways they’re helping folks pursue true greatness. https://www.renewalministries.net/
