    Fulton Sheen’s SHOCKING Prophecy That Came True (w/ Al Smith)

    17/09/2026 | 1h 12 mins.
    In 1949, Fulton Sheen foresaw that men were starting to live lives of indifference. He was right. Today we discuss the choice of indifference, how it will ultimately lead you into a life of sin, and how anxiety and restlessness are a result of this lifestyle.

    Today we are joined by Fulton Sheen expert Al Smith who has spent the last 17 years studying Fulton Sheen. He offers great insight into the words of Fulton Sheen and how Sheen saw into the hearts of men and knew what they needed.

    Former Muslim and Oxford PhD: Why Your Education Failed You

    03/09/2026 | 1h 7 mins.
    Joined by former Muslim, Oxford PhD recipient, and university founder, Dr. Jacob Imam, today we passionately discuss why the contempt for working with your hands is not just modern, but pagan. We explore how the current education system leaves men in a world that cannot tell them who they are or what they are for. We also get into how the idea that Catholicism has “gone soft” is a false rhetoric and how Islam offers a false sense of strength.

    From Andrew Tate, to converting from Islam, to what our young men need to be successful as a person in 2026, Jacob provides us with fuel and direction.

    3 Requirements to a Successful Catholic Marriage

    27/08/2026 | 1h 6 mins.
    There is always the temptation to keep score. Every little disagreement becomes a legal discussion, and you try so hard to win the case and walk away victorious. But it costs you. 74% of divorced people say their spouse should have worked harder. 73% say they themselves had already done enough. Both cannot be true.

    Today we discuss the importance of not making your marriage a constant battle to win and how wanting to win can cost you your marriage. We learn to listen to our spouse's heart, not just their words, and to recognize that our needs are God-given. Devin and Kim Schadt have been married thirty years, through cancer, poverty, miscarriage, and a daughter's brain injury. In their new book The Marriage Gap, they lay out the three things every thriving marriage does.
