Hello again! Welcome to Episode 3, "The Manly Dillema." Today, James and Father Dom continue their epic discussion Bishop Olmsted's gut-punching "Into the Breach." Bishop Olmsted asks three important questions in his exhortation that he addresses:
1. What does it mean to be a Christian man?
2. How does a Catholic man love?
3. Why is fatherhood, fully understood, crucial for every man?
Within those questions, he discusses three primary contexts to shape and mold the questions:
1. A New Apostolic Moment - The "New Evangelization"
2. A Field Hospital and a Battle College
3. Man and Woman are Complementary, not Competitors
This episode dropped all sorts of nuggets so make sure you tune in! You don't want to miss how this podcast is single-handedly trying to fulfill the call of the new evangelization, why the Church tends to the wounded from the spiritual battle with Satan and his demons (another epic novel idea), and why men and women are indeed different but they are in fact on the same team.
DO NOT FORGET James' Challenge. Yes, James stole Father Dom's game. Men, get to confession. No matter how long it has been, no matter what is holding you back, get to confession. Get in a state of grace first and foremost and allow God to work in your life. I, James, dread going to confession every time, but I leave feeling a weight has been lifted from my heart and soul. The Lord truly heals and gives us such a tremendous gift with confession.
