The Fear of Being the Provider: How to Balance Work and Family Life
Work will take everything you give it. Give it enough and it will be the black hole that swallows your prayer, peace, and your marriage. Today we discuss Ora et Labora, the ancient rhythm of prayer and work that St. Benedict modeled his life after. We explain why work can feel like a curse, the difference between your occupation and your vocation, why good men get addicted to the office, and what St. Gregory the Great named as the hardest labor of all. 🟢 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.

The 4 Greatest Threats Facing Men in 2026
Men are facing many problems: 80% of suicides in this country are men, 1 in 5 struggle with severe loneliness, marriage rates for men 35 and older have dropped from 90% to under 60% — and the list goes on. We can feel it, but we struggle to name what is really causing all of this. You cannot beat an enemy you cannot name. So in this episode, we name four of them. Today we explore the answers to these questions — and how to avoid the answers the world wants to give you. We get into four specific threats and four very concrete responses, what it actually means for a man to consecrate himself to our Blessed Mother, and why spending time with the Love of the universe changes everything.

The Modesty Problem: What She Wears = What She Gets
Other modesty videos mentioned: Jackie Angel on Modesty in the Real World: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKACACmlW3U Leah Darrow on Modest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ84oSJcrFE While reading the comments from a previous video, we came across this one: "Please make a video giving husbands tips on how to help their wives dress more modestly, or help those women that struggle with modesty." We read every one, and this time, we didn't just reply. We built an entire episode around it. It doesn't start with policing her wardrobe. A woman dresses from how she's been convinced to see herself and the culture has spent decades doing the convincing. In this episode, we address: What modesty actually is according to St. Thomas Aquinas and why clothing is further down the list than you think. We explain the four real reasons women dress the way they do, why men feel they can't say anything, why women feel they can't be told, and we provide five practical actions a Catholic man can take that don't involve a single word about her outfit. 👉 Devin Schadt's new book The Rule: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule/ Video Producer – Pietro Damasceno Learn more about your ad choices.

Are You Accidentally Letting the Devil in Your Home? w/ Dr. John Cuddeback
The Culture of Death is not random. Today we discuss the intelligence behind it and how your home is the first target. We dive deep into why you are so busy it hurts, and why you try so hard to “keep work at work” without realizing this is hurting your family. Feeling as if you are being pulled in a hundred different directions and looking for one simple solution is not the answer. The devil slowly seeps into the ordinary life of a family’s home, and we want to show how to prevent it. We are joined by Dr. John Cuddeback, a professor of philosophy at Christendom College and the author of The Intentional Household: Living as If People Matter. 👉 10% OFF Dr. Cuddeback's new book The Intentional Household: Living as if People Matter: https://store.catholicgentleman.com/products/the-intentional-household-living-as-if-people-matter 🟢 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.

No. 1 Way to Unlock God's Blessings in Your Life
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 Silently Stealing from Every Father
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
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
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.
