Former Muslim and Oxford PhD: Why Your Education Failed You
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 Necessities to a Successful Catholic Marriage
👉 Devin Schadt's new book The Marriage Gap:https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-marriage-gap 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. 🟢 FREE RTIC Travel Mug with our New Coffee Bundle 🟢 https://store.catholicgentleman.com/collections/coffee/products/coffee-bundle 🟢 Join Catholic Gentleman+ for over 31 sessions of exclusive formation, daily saint quotes, and a brotherhood of men pursuing holiness: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com Video Producer – Pietro Damasceno Learn more about your ad choices.

Why "Holy" Men Make Lazy Husbands (A Father of 9 Explains)
A man decides he is serious about his faith, and somewhere along the way that becomes the reason he stops trying. His work is sloppy, his day is unstructured, and his wife carries the house while he tells himself he is just not attached to worldly things. He is not being humble, he's using God as cover, and the men around him can see it even when he cannot. Today we sit down with JJ Sanford, a father of nine and the president of the University of Dallas, to talk about the excuse Catholic men keep reaching for. We discuss why magnanimity and humility are sister virtues rather than opposites, why St. Joseph was not spending his Saturdays on the couch while Our Lady did the work, what it means to live your whole day as a prayer instead of fencing your faith into a morning offering and a Sunday Mass, and why outsourcing your thinking to a machine leaves you unable to answer the one question that actually matters: what is God calling you to do with what He gave you.

The Shortest Road to Christ: Stop Ignoring Her (w/ Gabe Castillo)
Most men have only an idea of Mary, but not a relationship. Today we discuss how Marian devotion is the best way to grow closer to Christ.
