There is a call for the prince to bear the sword, i.e. to wield power for a good end. Sometimes it's thought that good leaders should be pacifists, far from it. They should be feared by those who intend to do harm to their subjects. This subject and much more are covered with Fr. Schumacher. We also talk about Cicero, what the purpose of law is, and the marvelous nature of human beings. It's always a joy to have Father on and we hope you really enjoy this show.  Resources: - Fr.

We're delighted to welcome President Kyle Washut back to the 'cast. Kyle is the president of Wyoming Catholic College and he joins us today to talk on education, AI, and how to live fully in the Faith. One of the common misconceptions of being Catholic is that nothing else matters, so we shouldn't try to excel in any skill or craft, yet embracing our gifts, talents, and determination in service of God through the Faith, is what will actually bring about the most good and form our true identities. It's always a pleasure to speak with Kyle, and we hope you enjoy the conversation.  Resources: President Kyle Washut: https://wyomingcatholic.edu/person/kyle-washut/Washut's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-washut-06a1b298/Wyoming Catholic College Website: https://wyomingcatholic.edu/  Green Dragon MediaWebsite: https://lifelineusa.store/gdmFollow on Instagram, Tik Tok, and X @greendragonpod LifeLineUSA- Website: https://lifelineusa.store/

 Man has many roles in life, and they are commonly categorized in the four roles of warrior, king, poet, and lover. However, it's hard to transition between these roles without one becoming too dominant that it impedes the others. Colin returns to the 'cast to discuss his mentality of approaching this subject, and dives deeper into the proper mindset to have in those roles, especially embracing the warrior role in a transformative way. It's always a joy to speak with Colin, and I hope that we can have another conversation soon! Resources: Colin's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/purezastberry/Anti-Fragile Athletes: https://www.instagram.com/anti.fragile.athletes/ References: Ed Mylett: https://www.edmylett.com/Ed My;ett's Speech: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4m1GNpI12R2WZZXWHBjVxF?si=5a739d949d8d4c78 Green Dragon MediaWebsite: https://lifelineusa.store/gdmFollow on Instagram, Tik Tok, and X @greendragonpod LifeLineUSA- Website: https://lifelineusa.store/

The problems with social media are becoming more prevalent each day as we ask ourselves if these mediums are actually beneficial. Unfortunately, much of the technology is designed to harness our time and attention, leaving us depressed, anxious and disconnected. Andrew Laubacher joins us to speak about this epidemic that is harming so many people, especially kids, and offers a revitalized way to reengage with life.

One of the most heartbreaking things to learn is how poorly our veterans are cared for after their service--more than 22 veterans commit suicide every day. Many of these happen because they don't receive proper care and support after their time in the military. Our guest, Valerie Suddeth HMC (FMF/SW/AW) Ret., U.S. Navy, works to help veterans get the care they need to recover from trauma and enable them to find new life after the military. We hope you enjoy this conversation. It was an honor to have Valerie join us, and we hope she can come on the show again soon!Resources: Valerie's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerie-sudduth-31a6038b/Email: valerie.su@firstdawnrecoveryFirst Dawn Recovery: https://firstdawnrecovery.com/Desert Wind Recovery: https://desertwindsrecovery.com/ Green Dragon MediaWebsite: https://lifelineusa.store/gdmFollow on Instagram, Tik Tok, and X @greendragonpod LifeLineUSA- Website: https://lifelineusa.store/

Men riding horses is an image captured throughout history. There is a deep connection that man has had with certain animals that have allowed humanity to build civilizations. We are joined by Majorie Papadopoulos to discuss horsemanship and the connection humans have with animals. There is so much more than meets the eye in this connection, and Marjorie shares with us the meaning and art of horsemanship and the roots beneath the age-old bond between man and animal. Resources: Sacred Cow: https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Cow-Better-Well-Raised-Planet/dp/1948836912Wendell Berry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendell_BerryJulian Simon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_SimonThe Ultimate Resource: https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Resource-Julian-Lincoln-Simon/dp/0691003815Hannah's Children: https://www.amazon.com/Hannahs-Children-Quietly-Defying-Dearth/dp/1684514576?tag=googhydr-20&source=dsa&hvcampaign=books&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhYS_BhD2ARIsAJTMMQa-mzYG2unpXonXd_tICAT_BLmK_omsxseXnmfUb7bM3S4gDlf4b8caAtvHEALw_wcB

The Modesty Principle: are we covering great art with a curtain? Dr. Tiffany Schubert joins us again on the 'cast to discuss how to properly understand how we dress, both men and women, in a way that befits human beauty. This is a very enlightening conversation in thinking about how men and women should interact across many contexts. Usually we're given a one-rule approach to thinking about beauty, modesty, lust, and sexuality, but maybe their is more prudence needed to properly understand these aspects of the male and female relationship.  Resources: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Canterbury_Tales Green Dragon MediaWebsite: https://lifelineusa.store/gdmFollow on Instagram, Tik Tok, and X @greendragonpod

Our newest guest is Fr. Ian VanHeusen. Fr. Ian is a Catholic priest of the diocese of Raleigh, and in our conversation, we discuss many pertinent topics of the spiritual life. Many times, we are not always influenced by God, and it is important to understand how to discern those moments. In addition to that topic, we talk about the rigor of scholastic arguments, of which St. Thomas Aquinas is renowned as being one of the greatest, and how thinking in that way can help find the truth more concretely in all facets of knowledge. We also delve into the dangers of half-truths and many other ideas, thoughts and ways to think about our lives in different contexts. We hope you enjoy this episode! We can't wait to have Fr. Ian back on the show!  Resources: Fr. Ian's ChannelsX: https://x.com/ianvanheusenFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fatherianvanheusen GDM Resources:Website: https://lifelineusa.store/gdm
