How Men Can Find God and Strength in the Wilderness

Today we respond to an image of masculinity that has been adopted and admired by millions of men today but is toxic to their lives as well as society. Andrew Tate has gained billions of views and created an online program called Hustler's University that brought in over 150,000 men paying to learn how to become millionaires and get women. John and Devin are joined by a phenomenal guest and professional martial arts instructor, Jim O'Day, to discuss how this version of masculinity destroys men's lives and keeps them trapped in boyhood. In addition, we also answer a listener's question about dating a non-Catholic and what advice we have for him.

We hear a lot about the Good News today, but we do not hear much about the bad news. However, as Peter Kreeft has stated, without the bad news, the good news is meaningless. Sin is not spoken of frequently enough, glossed over, and sometimes outright ignored. We all know that the secular world champions vice and acts as if it is virtue, and while this complete reversal might not affect you totally, it likely has lessened the degree to which you despise sin in your life. Today we go into sin, what it is, what it is not, and two devastating ways that men often deal with sin in their lives. As we look to Christ on the Cross, it is necessary to understand how our sin has put him there and the mercy that is available to us. 🔴 🔴 Watch the extended addition, all 1h 30 mins of episode 152 on Catholic Gentleman Plus where we discuss the way out of sin in your life: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com ✅ We love to answer questions on the show.
