If a Man Is Right His World Will Be Right
Here's the concept. If a man is right, his world will be right. Simple to say. Hard to actually live out.

Witches Get Stitches
This one's personal. I get into something that I think a lot of Mexican Catholics can relate to but nobody really talks about. Growing up in a culture where the faith is there but it's mixed with stuff that has no business being anywhere near it. Tarot cards, brujeria, spiritual practices that...

Bidness
The Catholic entrepreneurship conversation is shallow. Most of it stops at "pray hard, work hard" and calls it a day. In this episode, I'm making the case that we need more Catholic voices in business, not just men who happen to be Catholic and happen to run companies, but men who build with a...

Effeminacy

Sacrilegious

Decide

From Martín's Self-Doubt to the Best Shape of His Life
When Martín and I first spoke, he wasn’t lacking desire. He was lacking belief. He wanted to change, but he carried a lot of self doubt. Doubt shaped by old habits, inconsistency, and the quiet fear that maybe this time wouldn’t be different. In this testimonial, Martín shares what unfolded over...

Humbled
This episode is a real one. This Christmas and New Year’s weren’t filled with the joy and peace I expected. Instead, I walked straight into family tension, conflict, and situations that forced me to look hard at myself. No hiding. No spiritual bypassing. Just humility. I talk about how family…

Food Drug

Advent Maxing
Bro, I’m just gonna be real with you. Most Catholics have no idea what Advent actually is. We grow up hearing the word, seeing the wreath, lighting the candles, but no one ever tells us what the season is supposed to do to our soul. And honestly, that ignorance is killing a lot of people...

Freemasons
