  • Day 13 - St. Joseph’s Chastity Code: Mastering Purity in a World Gone Wild
    Mar 19 2025

    Today, we’re zeroing in on “Joseph Most Chaste, ”a title that’s not just a pat on the back, but a battle cry for us men. Joseph never flinched during his life. He guards his heart, his eyes, and his soul, living pure for God’s plan. That’s the kind of strength we’re unpacking here.

    We’re diving into what chastity really means, not just dodging the bad, but forging a life of purpose, body, mind, and spirit. Joseph didn’t just abstain; he chose a love so deep it outshone every temptation. Maybe he vowed virginity alongside Mary, maybe not, the point is, he stuck to it. In a culture drowning us in locker room talk, billboards, and endless smartphone scrolls, Joseph’s a lifeline. Porn’s a click away, flirtations beckon when marriage gets tough—how do you stand firm? This episode’s got answers.

    Here’s your challenge: Pick one weak spot today—phone, gym eye-candy, whatever triggers you—and cut it off. Delete those apps, switch your workout time, get a dumb phone if you have to. Do it now, before the day’s out, and ask St. Joseph to back you up. He’s not some dusty statue; he’s a warrior in your corner. Push play to hear how his chastity isn’t weakness—it’s power, freedom to love right and fight for what matters. Lent’s your shot to step up—let’s make it count.

    Hit that button now, brothers. This one’s raw, real, and loaded with grit to get you through the muck. Let’s lean on Joseph and lock in that purity together.

    Products and References Mentioned:

    • The Bible: References include Matthew 1:25 (Joseph “knew her not” until Jesus’ birth), Luke 2 (Joseph at Jesus’ birth), and Psalm 24 (“He who has clean hands and a pure heart”).
    • Consecration to St. Joseph: Book by Fr. Donald Calloway—highly recommended for this Lenten journey, grab it and dig in.

    3 Powerful Quotes:

    1. “Chastity is not just about avoiding sin. It’s about purity of heart, purity of body, and purity of mind, living out that with purpose.”
    2. “St. Joseph shows that chastity isn’t about what you can’t do. It’s about who and what you can become. It’s freedom to love rightly, to protect what matters, to be a man worth trusting.”
    3. “Chastity is a fight worth winning.”

    Guard your eyes—today. If porn, social media, or that gym distraction’s pulling you, ditch it now. Swap the phone for a rosary or a walk, and call on St. Joseph when it gets tough. Purity starts with one move.

  • Day 12 - St. Joseph’s Secret Weapon: How to Be a Just Man in an Unjust World
    Mar 18 2025

    Hey brothers, ever wonder what it takes to stand steady when life’s throwing curveballs? Welcome back to another reflection on St. Joseph. This time, we’re tackling “Joseph Most Just.” Imagine a guy so righteous he doesn’t lash out or crumble in chaos—he shields, he acts, he trusts God. That’s St. Joseph, and today, I’m unpacking how he’s our blueprint for living justly in a world that’s anything but.

    At work, you see a guy cutting corners—do you call him out or let it slide? At home, the kids are pushing every button, and you’re wiped—do you scroll or step up? Joseph shows us justice is doing the right thing, not the easy one. Your challenge today: Pick one spot to act justly. Maybe it’s pulling a co-worker aside to correct him with respect, not shame. Or it’s apologizing to your wife or kids after a short-tempered moment—teach them the right way, even when you’ve messed up.

    Push play now to hear how St. Joseph’s quiet strength can fire you up this Lent. It’s not about perfection—it’s about action, trust, and giving God His due. Let’s grow into just men together—hit that button and let’s roll.

    Products and References Mentioned:

    • The Bible: Key references include Matthew 1:19 (“Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame”), Matthew 1:24 (Joseph’s obedience post-dream), and Psalm 15 (the just man walks blamelessly).
    • Consecration to St. Joseph: Book by Fr. Donald Calloway, recommended for the Lenten journey—grab it and follow along.

    3 Powerful Quotes

    1. “Justice isn’t just fairness or sticking to rules. It’s living rightly before God and others, giving God worship, our family love, our neighbors respect.”
    2. “St. Joseph proved time and time again that justice isn’t loud. It is steady. It’s picking what’s right over what’s comfortable.”
    3. “Are you being just towards God? Are you giving God His due? Are you spending time praying to Him? Are you frequently in the sacraments?”

    Act, don’t just react. Next time you’re tempted to snap or slack off—whether at work or home—pause, breathe, and choose the right move, not the easy one. Joseph did it; you can too.

  • Fr. Dom's Homs - Surviving the Desert: How Jesus’ Temptation Becomes Your Strength from the 1st Sunday of Lent
    Mar 17 2025

    Ever feel like life’s throwing you into a tailspin, and you’re just crash-landing into Sunday? From the 1st Sunday of Lent, Fr. Dom is pulling back the curtain on a wild week that led him straight into the First Sunday of Lent with no prep and a whole lot of trust. Picture this: 900 men at the KEPHA Men's Conference, Trent Horn and Father Don Calloway lighting up the room, and a 19-year-old kid bawling his eyes out because God crashed into his life. That’s the kind of desert miracle we’re unpacking today.

    We’re diving into the Gospel where Jesus faces temptation in the desert—40 days of Satan hitting Him with lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life. He didn’t need to do it, but He did—for us. I’ll break down each temptation, from turning stones to bread to jumping off a temple, and show you how Jesus hands us the playbook to fight back: Scripture, trust, and surrender. This isn’t just a story—it’s your roadmap for Lent. Satan’s real, not some cartoon villain, and he’s after your heart. But God? He’s the divine surgeon, ready to cut out the idols holding you back.

    So here’s your challenge: Pick one temptation you’re wrestling with—maybe it’s the phone, food, or pride—and fast from it this week. Replace it with 10 minutes of Scripture daily (start with Luke 4). Tell a buddy to keep you honest. Miracles happen when you show up in the desert, vulnerable and ready.

    Push play now to get fired up for Lent. This isn’t about surviving 40 days—it’s about letting God transform you through them. Let’s hit the ground running, together.

    3 Powerful Quotes

    1. “Satan wants you to stay attached to your idols that keep you away from God. God wants to cleanse your heart of your idols so that you can fall more in love with him and he can move through you and be with you in a very powerful way.”
    2. “Jesus shows us what to do when we’re tempted by Satan in the desert. He combats Satan with the weapon of holy sacred scripture.”
    3. “When you blessed me, I was walking away. God spoke to me. Wow. Just like that. He says it’s unbelievable because there was a whole week before this conference in our retreat, I was in the desert. I didn’t want to go, but I came.”

    1 Key Takeaway for Men to Adapt Immediately:

    Face your temptations head-on with Scripture. Pick one weak spot today—scrolling, snacking, whatever—and hit it with a verse like “One does not live on bread alone” (Luke 4:4). Say it out loud when the urge hits. It’s your weapon, and it works.
