In this interview, I had the honour of being joined by world renowned powerlifters Sean Noriega & Jonnie Candito. These men are pound for pound two of the strongest men on the planet in their respective weight classes (and lifetime natural!) and they also happen to be devout Catholics.This is perhaps the GREATEST conversation you'll ever hear about bridging the gap between physical training and Catholicism. We get into all things Catholicism, virtue, physical culture, and WHY all Catholic men MUST pursue physical strength in some capacity.There's so much wisdom packed into this podcast you're going to want to stick around to the very end. And remember guys..physical culture belongs to the religion of the resurrection.

The Cross is not merely a symbol. It is Christ’s war trophy.The early Christians called it a “tropaion”: a memorial raised after victory in battle. Saint John Chrysostom called the Cross “a trophy against the demons” and “a sword against sin.”In this podcast, I explain why modern men have been given a false image of Jesus and why Catholic men cannot go back to weakness, passivity, and vice after Lent.-For Catholic men wanting to improve their fitness, overcome vice and practice virtue - apply for 1:1 coaching here:

The Vatican gathering around exorcism isn’t random - it’s a response to something real.

Spiritual warfare is not rare, and it’s not reserved for extreme cases.Most men aren’t losing through possession…they’re losing through distraction, comfort, and a lack of discipline.

This episode breaks down where the real battle is and why so many are unprepared.

Deus Vult.

I recently sat down with Fr. Dan Reehil, a priest I’m blessed to call a friend, to discuss the reality of spiritual combat, embodied Catholic masculinity, and how men can actively fight to grow in holiness.

We cover the nature of the spiritual battle, the role of discipline and virtue, and what it actually means to live as a strong Catholic man in today’s world.

Most men think they need more generic discipline.They don’t.They need to stop calling escape “rest.”In this video, I break down the hidden vice that’s quietly destroying your strength—disordered leisure and and contrast it with what St. Thomas Aquinas calls Eutrapelia: real rest that actually restores you for duty.Is this you, Western man?-If you’re a Catholic man who wants to grow in virtue, eliminate vice, and build real strength—physically, mentally, and spirituallyApply for 1:1 coaching: https://form.typeform.com/to/HSeWxjr2?typeform-source=rwb9r7bgxkj.typeform.com

In this interview, I had the tremendous honour of being able to sit down with MMA legend Bas Rutten - former UFC Heavyweight Champion, UFC Hall of Famer, actor, businessman, husband, father, and faithful Catholic man.

We discuss his conversion story, the suffering and hardship that shaped him, what true masculinity really is, why so many men today have lost the will to fight, and why becoming a faithful Catholic man is harder than becoming a world champion.

This is a conversation about manhood, faith, discipline, suffering, fatherhood, and the greatest battle of all: the battle for the soul.

You are going to want to watch this one from start to finish.
