No. 1 Reason Men Struggle to Get Ahead

from The Catholic Gentleman · host John Heinen, Devin Schadt

Men today are often lost and quietly confused. Some know they should strive for more, yet feel strangely unmoved to pursue it. Others are driven but stuck, spinning their wheels, repeating the same habits and even the same sins, wondering why nothing ever changes. Still others feel unambitious, listless, and disengaged, moving from obligation to obligation without a clear sense of direction. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt name a reality they see everywhere: men who are not evil or careless, but internally stalled, unsure why they never seem to get ahead. Drawing on the work of Dallas Willard and their own experience walking with men, John and Devin unpack a simple but necessary framework for real change: Vision, Intention, and Means. They explore why some men burn with misdirected ambition while others drift without desire, how both stem from the same interior problem, and why a man’s belief in heaven, whether real or merely theoretical, shapes how he lives today. 🟢 Join over a 1000 men inside of Catholic Gentleman+ and get 33 sessions of exclusive formation, daily saint quotes, dozens of books, and a lot more: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com 👉 Get Devin Schadt’s book The Rule: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule/ COUPON CODE for 20% Off: Gentleman20 Video Producer - Pietro Damasceno Join Email - https://catholicgentleman.com/podcast-listing ______________________ -- FOLLOW THE CATHOLIC GENTLEMAN -- ➡️ https://www.instagram.com/catholicgentleman➡️ https://www.facebook.com/TheCatholicGentleman ➡️ https://x.com/catholicgent Learn more about your ad choices.
