The Catholic Gentleman

What happens when the child you love won’t speak to you anymore? When the hurt runs deep—and it’s your fault? John Heinen and Devin Schadt go deep into one of the hardest realities a Catholic father can face: seeking forgiveness from a child who’s been wounded by your failure. Drawing from personal experience, they walk through the steps of Recognize, Repair, and Rebuild—offering practical and spiritual insight for men who want to restore trust without forcing the outcome. This truth works for children from 18 months to adulthood. This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a call to live with humility, pursue the heart of your child, and become the kind of father they can one day forgive—even if they never say the words.

We have all experienced lack of motivation. We feel as though we can't accomplish anything or we simply don't want to accomplish anything. If left unaddressed, it can cause to freeze up completely.

Today are joined by Dr. Tom Zimmer who is the Professor of Leadership and Outdoor Education at Wyoming Catholic College, a husband of 22 years, the father to 4 children, and wrote his dissertation on motivation.

Today we discuss how trying harder won't fix anything, how to handle failure, and the three keys to staying motivated.

Submission. A word that is a instant red flag to many modern women. It sounds like a rule to be enforced, and a way a husband can get his way no matter what. But, t's so much more than that.

Today we are joined by Dr. Mary Stanford, a theology professor from Christendom College, a wife of 26 years, a mother of 7, and the author of "The Obedience Paradox: Finding True Freedom in Marriage". Today we discuss what the Church really asks of wives and husbands and wives, why obedience and freedom are not opposites, and what a husband has to give before his leadership can be received.
