  • No. 1 Way to Unlock God's Blessings in Your Life

    No. 1 Way to Unlock God's Blessings in Your Life
    Jun 25 2026
    We hand our identity to the things we own. The house, the car, the title in the email signature, the number in the account. We see a man who is thirty seven and retired and decide he must have life figured out, and we measure ourselves against a pile we know nothing about. Underneath a lot of it is fear, the fear of losing what we have and the fear of who we would be without it. Devin and I sat down to talk about money, and we ended up talking about that fear, and about a truth we work hard to dodge: none of it belongs to us. Our bodies, our homes, every part of our lives, all of it on loan. Today we dig into the four pillars of stewardship from the USCCB, the parable of the talents, and a framework for giving that works at any income level. We tell the story of Conrad Hilton, a man who lost nearly everything in the Depression, who gave away 97% of his fortune and why his son eventually did the same. 🟢 Join Catholic Gentleman+ for over 31 sessions of exclusive formation, daily saint quotes, and a brotherhood of men pursuing holiness: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com 👉 Devin Schadt's new book The Rule: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule/ COUPON CODE for 20% Off: Gentleman20 Video Producer – Pietro Damasceno Learn more about your ad choices.

  • 3 Things the World is Stealing from Every Father

    3 Things the World is Stealing from Every Father
    Jun 18 2026
    The world is stripping three things away from every Catholic man. Not in ways you'd recognize as an attack but disguised as a busy evening, a competing priority, or a reasonable excuse. Then one day you wake up and realize something essential is gone. In this episode, we sit down to name three things the world, the flesh, and the devil are working together to take from you: your role as Kustos, what it means to be the guardian and protector of your family, and why the enemy targets this first. Why original sin was an assault on fatherhood itself, and what it looks like to choose your children the way God the Father chooses you. 🟢 Join Catholic Gentleman+ for over 31 sessions of exclusive formation, daily saint quotes, and a brotherhood of men pursuing holiness: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com 👉 Devin Schadt's new book The Rule: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule/ COUPON CODE for 20% Off: Gentleman20 Video Producer – Pietro Damasceno Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Cocaine Addict Becomes On Fire Catholic

    Cocaine Addict Becomes On Fire Catholic
    Jun 11 2026
    A Fortune 250 company's Salesman of the Year. Devoted husband. Faithful Catholic father and a 17-year addiction no one knew about, including his wife. John Edwards spent nearly two decades living two lives at once. He closed sales by day, chased down his dealer by afternoon, and kept the mask on at home so well that no one knew. It held together right up until the morning he sat in a jail cell on Good Friday with nothing left to control. This is the story of how a man hits the absolute bottom and finds out it was never the end of his story. Today, John Heinen and Devin Schadt sit down with John to talk about what actually drives addiction, why isolation is the devil's first move on a man, and how the wound of "am I enough" sends so many men looking for affirmation in all the wrong places. John Edwards is the founder of Pew Ministries and host of the Just a Guy in the Pew podcast.

  • 4 Reasons Satan Hates St. Joseph

    4 Reasons Satan Hates St. Joseph
    Jun 4 2026
    The Church calls Saint Joseph the Terror of Demons. A carpenter. A foster father. A man who speaks not a single word in Scripture. And hell is terrified of him. In this episode, John Heinen sits down with Devin Schadt, executive director of the Fathers of Saint Joseph, to unpack the four reasons Satan hates Saint Joseph. These are the virtues that send demons running. The same virtues every Catholic man is called to build. We discuss how being called a just man used to be the highest honor a man could receive, the importance of prompt obedience, confidence, and magnanimity, and silent sacrifice. Saint Joseph gives us the example and pattern to achieve this.

  • The Drift that's Killing Catholic Men

    The Drift that's Killing Catholic Men
    May 28 2026
    🟢 FREE Handmade Rosary This Month for those joining CG+ https://catholicgentlemanplus.com/rosary Drift It accumulates in the gap between who we intended to be and who we've actually become. Recent studies show that 63% of men wish they didn't have to be adults, and 41% of men between 24 and 29 don't feel like adults at all. That's not a personality quirk. That's a crisis. This week, John and Devin trace how we got here, from G. Stanley Hall's early 1900s invention of adolescence as a cultural category, to the market forces and generational messaging that turned extended boyhood into an identity. But the the deeper question is what it actually takes to move from boy to man, and the answer isn't hustle or stoicism. It starts with taking responsibility, stop blaming, and build toward conviction. As Aquinas makes clear, the order of love in a man's life begins with God and flows outward through vocation, marriage, and fatherhood. The irreplaceable call that cannot be transferred or replaced. And it ends with self-mastery, not as an end in itself, but because a man who cannot possess himself has nothing to give. St. Paul says it plainly in 1 Corinthians 13:11: "When I became a man, I gave up childish ways." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • 4 Temptations Every Man Faces and How to Overcome Them

    4 Temptations Every Man Faces and How to Overcome Them
    May 21 2026
    🟢 FREE Handmade Rosary This Month for those joining CG+ https://catholicgentlemanplus.com/rosary We know the temptations that hunt us, the ones we can't seem to outrun no matter how serious we get about our interior life. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt walk through a practical four-temptation framework with the corresponding virtues that combat each one. From lust as a disordered desire rather than a foreign attack, to the "respectable sin" of greed we praise as ambition, to the pride we cannot see in ourselves, to the sloth hiding inside our busiest days. We get honest about why temptation is not the sign that we're losing but the sign that the devil has marked us because he's afraid of us, why tithing belongs to today and not to some future income, why we're called to pursue excellence without attaching ourselves to it, and what Mother Teresa told the priest who was too busy for adoration. This isn't a list of sins to feel bad about. It's the field on which virtue is won, built on the conviction that to be a man is to have virtue, and to have virtue is to have power. 👉 Devin Schadt's new book The Rule: ⁠https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule/ COUPON CODE for 20% Off: Gentleman20 Video Producer – Pietro Damasceno Learn more about your ad choices.

  • No. 1 Reason Men Can't Finish Hard Things w/ John Sablan

    No. 1 Reason Men Can't Finish Hard Things w/ John Sablan
    May 14 2026
    🟢 FREE Handmade Rosary This Month for those joining CG+ ⁠⁠https://catholicgentlemanplus.com/rosary John Sablan spent the better part of his adult life being what he now calls the X factor in his family: the one holding everything back. Raised in abuse, living a wayward life, he and his wife stumbled into the Catholic Church, and he settled comfortably into being lukewarm. His marriage came to the edge. Then at a men's conference, with a general confession, and a priest praying deliverance over him in Latin changed the trajectory. In this conversation, John Heinen and Devin Schadt sit down with John Sablan to get at the real roots of what's keeping men soft and what it actually takes to do something about it. Rooted in Thomistic psychology (which he studied under Fr. Chad Ripperger), John defines effeminacy the way Aquinas did: not a personality flaw, but a moral vice. The inability to deny pleasure in order to pursue the arduous good. He unpacks the trap men fall into when they finally decide to get serious: trading softness for stoicism, white-knuckling virtue as a self-improvement project, making the whole thing about proving themselves rather than serving God. They also tackle why "do you want to save your marriage?" is the wrong question. 🔥 Follow John and all his work - www.serviaminstitute.com www.johnsablan.com www.worldablaze.org FREE Handmade Wooden Rosary with Pardon Crucifix This Month for those joining CG+. 🟢 Join Catholic Gentleman+ for over 31 sessions of exclusive formation, daily saint quotes, and a brotherhood of men pursuing holiness: ⁠⁠https://catholicgentlemanplus.com/rosary Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Why 90% of Catholic Kids Leave the Faith (w/ Dr. Greg Popcak)

    Why 90% of Catholic Kids Leave the Faith (w/ Dr. Greg Popcak)
    May 7 2026
    This stat should shake every Catholic father awake: 85 to 90 percent of kids raised in Catholic homes will leave the faith by adulthood. We've somehow accepted that as normal. It's not. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Greg Popcak, a Catholic counselor with over 30 years in the trenches and author of more than 20 books, to talk about what the families who beat those odds are actually doing differently. Greg walks me through the 12 research-validated habits that families who successfully pass on the faith all share in common, what he calls the Liturgy of Domestic Church Life. We get into why just dragging your kids to Mass and white-knuckling the family Rosary isn't enough if there's no joy behind it, why your kids need to experience the Faith as the source of the meaning in your home and not just the source of the rules. He breaks down what headship actually looks like when it's modeled after the ministerial priesthood rather than a dictator, and he tells a story from his time in Hong Kong about a father who tried to hug his daughter for the first time and she didn't even know what he was doing.
