Closing the Loop: Leadership Lessons from India to Halo | Dr. Rob McKenna | Episode #270
BeatiDudes Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome back Dr. Rob McKenna to keep exploring trust, formation, and the quirky on-ramps God uses to shape leaders. Rob shares the origin of the WiLD Leaders washer symbol and a powerful “generational loop” story that began with his parents and found unexpected completion through his trips to India. The Dudes trade formative childhood moments and what they learned about resilience, agency, and identity. Rob explains how a Halo map and a rocket launcher inspired a real-world assessment platform that highlights the metrics that drive behavior and build leaders. The conversation takes many twists and turns, including jaunts into vulnerability, the costs of public leadership, melodic metal, video game soundtracks at the gym, and the hope that sits right on the edge of despair. Along the way, you will catch movie trailers that never were, a Scooby-Doo villain named Mr. Parrot, and a Pac-Man sprint set to Final Fantasy.

Whole Leaders, WiLD Trust | Dr. Rob McKenna | Episode #269
This week, The BeatiDudes welcome Dr. Rob McKenna, psychologist and founder of WiLD Leaders, for a fast-moving conversation about trust, leadership, and the kind of vulnerability that builds thriving organizations. Dr. Rob shares how growing up in a very public ministry home shaped his view of leadership, why Psalm 13 is a masterclass in honest prayer, and how “the little i” in WiLD points to whole and intentional leader development. Rob and The BeatiDudes (Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein) unpack the WiLD Trust Index, explore how faith fits into a healthy workplace, and WiLDly launch into a round of Blessed Are the Joke Makers. Along the way, you will hear practical ways to spark better one-on-ones, cultivate humble curiosity, and turn culture talk into culture traction. Dr. Rob also previews his new book, Whole Leaders, WiLD Trust: The Courageous Path to Personal, Relational, and Organizational Change, with a foreword by Stephen M. R. Covey. Standout Moments • WiLD Leaders origin story and why the “little i” matters for whole and intentional leader development • Growing up under a seminary president dad and learning to face hard questions at the kitchen table • Psalm 13 as a template for honest lament that still chooses trust • The WiLD Toolkit: ten developmental assessments that build people capacity over time • The WiLD Trust Index explained in plain English, including the 33 drivers of trust • Three levels of trust building: awareness within, patterns between, and conditions around • State of Trust research insight that many people work in a “jungle of trust” • Why trust is not “everywhere” just because it is “somewhere” - and how fragmentation shows up on teams • The power of asking questions you do not already know the answer to • Faith and leadership through the lens of St. Paul’s “many parts, one body” Our Partners:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Verso Jobs ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dave and Lauren Moore Concert⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sock Religious (10% Discount)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Solidarity HealthShare⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aquinas Wealth Advisors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lucid Private Office⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Divine Comedy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Undivided Life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   Follow The BeatiDudes:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BeatiDudes Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Pencil Bureau⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠    ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dave Moore Music⁠

Close to Home, Close to Heaven | Patrick Thornton | Episode #268
The BeatiDudes are back at the Tiny Table with Patrick Thornton from Catholic.Store and Tiny Saints. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein start the episode with playful banter about names, shirts, and biceps, before Patrick shares a heartfelt family story that changed his life. Not too long ago, Patrick’s oldest son survived a serious car accident, spent weeks recovering, and then stood at his wedding after a last-minute clearance from the doctor. The conversation turns to the gift of proximity, since all six Thornton kids now live within fifteen minutes of mom and dad in Irving. Patrick talks about ordinary names that feel wonderfully normal, the joy of grandparent life, and why Texas weather just works. The crew riffs on Tiny Saints as small reminders with a big mission, previews the red tiny table activation for the Catholic Music Initiative concert, and laughs through Catholic dad jokes, Tim Tebow sightings, and a legendary line delivered to Pudge Rodriguez. The show is equal parts comedy and consolation, the kind of episode that leaves you grateful for faith, family, and friends who keep showing up.

The Moore We Are | Dave and Lauren Moore Return to the Stage | BeatiDudes Special
BeatiDudes Special Show Alert! Dave Moore returns for a truly special and heartwarming visit. That’s right! The BeatiDudes (Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein) welcome back their longtime friend and collaborator, Dave Moore, the heartbeat behind the Catholic Music Initiative and co-founder of the upcoming benefit concert The More We Are, featuring Dave and Lauren Moore at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas on November 4, 2025. What starts as a fun reflection on the early days of the BeatiDudes quickly turns into a moving testimony of faith, perseverance, and God’s faithfulness. Dave shares the incredible story of his wife’s recovery from Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a journey that took Lauren from paralysis and months in the ICU to now preparing for her first public performance since her illness. Through laughter, tears, and a few off-the-wall tangents, the Dudes uncover what it really means to experience John 10:10 — to have life and have it abundantly. The November 4th concert isn’t just another show. It’s a resurrection moment for Lauren, a celebration of hope for the Catholic community, and an invitation to everyone to be part of something bigger than themselves. Attendees will witness Lauren’s return to the stage, hear stories of healing and gratitude, and experience a night that honors faith through beauty and music. All proceeds benefit the Catholic Music Initiative, helping the Moore family continue to compose, record, and lead worship that lifts hearts toward heaven. Whether you attend in person, sponsor a table, or donate from afar, your support fuels this movement of faith and artistry. 🎟 Get your tickets or become a sponsor: catholicmusicinitiative.org 📅 Event: The More We Are – Faith, Hope, and Healing 📍 Meyerson Symphony Center, Dallas, TX – November 4, 2025

Tiny Saints Show = Catholic Bluey | Patrick Thornton | Episode #267
Patrick Thornton, marketing vet turned Catholic entrepreneur behind Tiny Saints and Catholic.store, joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein, at the famous Tiny Table for an episode that’s part improv, part inside-baseball for Catholic media, and all heart. From Chicago-to-Denver-to-Irving life moves and father-of-many/grandpa stories, to the ‘Tiny Saints Show’ (think “Catholic Bluey”) and why quality family content deserves real investment, Patrick keeps a dry wit while the Dudes serve up URL shenanigans, saint jokes, and a game of ‘Blessed Are the Joke Makers.’ The throughline: build excellent, joyful Catholic storytelling that the whole family can love, and help fund the pilot. Call to Action Back the Tiny Saints Show pilot and help bring joyful, excellent Catholic family animation to life. Goal: ~$175,000 for the pilot episode (as of the episode’s recording).

The Church Alive | Fr. Mark Garrett | Episode #266
A mission-trip porch in Porto Gorgio, waves breaking in the distance, and a priest listening like a dad - that’s the heart of this Friday episode. Fr. Mark Garrett returns to share how a lifelong attraction to service, prayer, and spiritual fatherhood led him through nine years of seminary and into a vocation that still fills his “father” cup daily. Along the way, the Dudes riff on VHS baptisms, “formators,” the propaedeutic (aka “propaDudes”), and why the Church is very much alive through a new generation of priests. Hosted by Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein - with banter, gratitude, and a sincere invitation to come (back) to the sacraments. Highlights • Spiritual fatherhood on a porch: Fr. Mark’s nightly mission-trip conversations with teens—listening, loving, and walking with them—felt unmistakably “fatherly.” • Seeds of a call: From well-worn First Communion booklets to altar serving and imagining preaching as a teen, grace kept nudging him forward. • Dating & desire: The honest tension—real desire for marriage and family, yet a deeper pull toward giving his life to the Church. • Nine years, one “yes” at a time: Seminary wasn’t easy; a pivotal cathedral moment re-centered everything on the People of God. • When the Church hurts: Fr. Mark names real wounds yet witnesses a young, faithful, others-focused priesthood rising to serve. • Vocations in motion: St. Andrew’s Dinners, mentors, and the surprise clarity that sometimes comes on a simple morning walk. Try This • Come & see: If you’ve been away, slip into the back pew this Sunday. Let the sacraments do the talking, then introduce yourself to a priest after Mass. • Discernment nudge: Curious about priesthood or consecrated life? Ask your parish about a St. Andrew’s Dinner or reach out to your diocesan vocations office. • Fatherly presence: Take a teen (your child, godchild, student) for a simple walk and just listen. It counts more than you think.

They Call, We Answer: A Vocation Director’s Roadmap | Fr. Mark Garrett | Episode #265
Fr. Mark Garrett joins BeatiDudes Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for a moving, funny, and deeply Catholic conversation about hearing God’s call and answering it with courage. Fr. Mark shares life on the road as a nomadic vocation director, offering Mass across the Diocese of Dallas, inviting young men to discern with the Church, and showing up when people suffer. The episode centers on the power of the sacraments: anointing the sick during COVID, blessing workplaces on short notice, and the heart-stopping beauty of fully initiating a newborn into the Church before her short life returned to the Father. Sorrow and joy coexist, and grace is real. Highlights • “Five inches of whoosh” and the Tiny Table full of Tiny Saints. • Fr. Mark’s mileage: More than 20k miles in under a year, visiting 50+ parishes. This is ministry on the move. • Dallas Catholic boom: youth rooms full, weeknight faith formation, and communities on fire. • Vocations 101: The Church discerns with you. You start with your story, not a guarantee. • COVID-anointing in real time: when they call, a priest answers, and you prioritize presence over protocols. • A newborn fully initiated (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist) and a funeral filled with real joy. • Confession etiquette: help Father help you. Timing matters, mercy does too. • Quasi-parishes explained (and why canonical details actually serve people). • Why sacraments matter: not wishful thinking. God truly acts, and grace is given. • Blessings in the wild: offices, hallways, and holy water at the ready.

Protractors and Providence | Kyle Hatfield | Episode #264
The BeatiDudes and Kyle Hatfield are at the tiny table, and this time, Kyle is unpacking the full roller coaster of faith, foolishness, and Divine Providence. From a Lutheran kid who once called Catholics “cannibals” to a man discipled into joy by Fr. Eric Shield, Kyle’s story proves God’s grace has a wild sense of humor. He went from writing a handwritten list of 20 reasons to become Catholic to completely falling away in college, only to find his way home through a Life Teen summer, daily holy hours, and an unexpected transfer to Franciscan University (where he met his future wife Angela) Kyle shares two lines that changed his life: “If you’re humble and submissive to Christ, you’ll find peace in all you do,” and “Abandonment to the Father frees you from anxiety about tomorrow.” Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein mix in wisdom, laughter, and a few “ball-and-chain” lessons of their own as they remind us that holiness doesn’t start with perfection; it starts with surrender, a smile, and sometimes, a breakfast gone wrong.

Rebuild My Church (Practically) | Kyle Hatfield | Episode #263
This week the BeatiDudes welcome Kyle Hatfield. He’s a husband, girl-dad of five, former Pines Catholic Camp director, and the Director of Engagement at the Catholic Leadership Institute (CLI). Between insane stories at the Tiny Table, Kyle shares a joy-filled journey from conversion and camp ministry to coaching pastors and bishops. Kyle breaks down how CLI helps parishes move from vision to implementation. The "Tuesday-afternoon" stuff like prioritizing mission, delegating well, and caring for clergy with ongoing formation and wellness. Highlights • From The Pines to CLI: camp director during the pandemic to accompanying dioceses, pastors, and bishops • Vision → Action: practical coaching so parishes actually live their mission • Parish as “all souls within your boundaries”: an apostolic lens for leadership • Marriage & family: 10 years, five daughters, and vocation > occupation • The legendary 16-count slow clap and a rapid-fire joke round If you care about parish life that truly evangelizes, this episode delivers practical wisdom wrapped in fraternity and fun. Kyle’s story shows how saying “yes” to God at camp, at home, and in leadership, turns big church dreams into real, local renewal.

Habemus Infantem | JB Bionat | Episode #262
The BeatiDudes are at the studio with our brother Joseph “JB” Bionat, who just might be the most prepared (and unprepared) soon-to-be dad in Texas. JB is at the Tiny Table to share what it’s like standing on the threshold of fatherhood, with a baby due any minute. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein delve into JB’s first-ever diaper-changing adventure, the shock of discovering he and his wife, Caroline, were expecting just four months after their marriage, and the sacred blend of fear, joy, and awe that comes with preparing for life as a parent. Between “pregnant pauses,” discussions about Push Presents, and dreams of announcing “Habemus Baby” from the Vatican balcony, this conversation is equal parts comedy and holy anticipation. To top it off, JB takes on the BeatiDudes’ New Dad Quiz, where snack diplomacy,car seat meltdowns, and romantic recovery scenarios test his readiness for fatherhood. Will he pass the test? Let’s just say smoothies and charcuterie boards might be his secret weapons. Whether you’re a dad, a soon-to-be dad, or just love walking with brothers in Christ through life’s big transitions, this episode brings laughter, honesty, and encouragement. JB reminds us that fatherhood is both a gift and a calling, one that requires faith, humor, and fraternity.

Marketing, Ministry, and Marriage | JB Bionat | Episode #261
This week the BeatiDudes - Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein -welcome JB Bionat, Marketing & Communications Director at St. Ann. JB shares a winsome conversion arc: cradle Catholic to questioning student, then a reasoned return to the Church through scripture study, history, and a lived encounter with Jesus. Along the way: Aggie hospitality, ministry in the workplace, late-night adoration, grad studies at UD, a stint at Word on Fire, and the joyful story of meeting his wife at St. Ann. We also “prep” JB for new-dad life with a hilariously helpful quiz and a round of Blessed Are the Joke Makers. Humor + holiness = home base. Highlights • Aggie roots - Hospitality that feels like home; why a random campus tour sealed the deal for Texas A&M. • From rules to relationship - Bible study (Ephesians), Breakaway invites, and asking better questions about Jesus. • Thinking it through - JB’s route from monotheism vs. polytheism to the historicity of the Church (“one true church founded by Christ”). • Undivided life - Consulting career, witnessing with charity at work, and mid-week adoration near a client site. • Formation season - Pandemic discernment → Master’s in Pastoral Ministry (UD) → Word on Fire Institute marketing → St. Ann. • Love - Women’s Night of Worship, a camera, one providential photo, and a two-year courtship to marriage. • New-Dad Readiness Quiz - Midnight snacks, diaper math in the Target parking lot, and the proper lullaby (hint: “Bohemian Rhapsody”). • Game time - Blessed Are the Joke Makers - sour school-teacher edition.

Heritage, Holiness, and Cheesy Hot Chocolate | Nico Cabrera | Episode #260
Nico Cabrera joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein as he delves into the healing power of family, the beauty of choosing to grow, and why quality time together is what truly matters. From Colombian traditions (yes, cheese in hot chocolate and bananas with soup) to the sacred “movie moments” with nieces, to the case for showing up in person instead of living on Zoom, Nico threads humor, heritage, and holiness into a warm reflection on belonging. Along the way, we detour through pork-chop poetry, airport theme songs, and the working rule of family life: when you’re together, don’t look at the bill, look at the people. Highlights • “Choose to be better.” Nico shares how his parents’ decision to grow and heal reshaped the family’s trajectory, proof that humility and conversion change generational outcomes. • Presence > platforms. Trust and creativity accelerate when we’re physically together; Zoom can maintain momentum, but real relationships are built across a table (or next to each other at 6 a.m. work sessions). • Time turns holy. As parents age and siblings get married, mundane moments (sharing ice cream, chasing toddlers) become sacred snapshots. • Colombian comfort: Try it before you knock it, melty mozzarella in thick hot chocolate, and sweet banana alongside hot soup • Family finance rule: When you’re with your people, stop itemizing the joy.

Rich & Wild | Nico Cabrera | Episode #259
At the tiny table, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome Nico Cabrera - a Colombian‑American Catholic whose path runs from teaching high school students, to leading worship on massive international stages, to building partnerships inside a fast‑paced cybersecurity startup. This episode mixes humor (Zara cologne, “fat lips,” and the quest for a decent USA chant), culture (Spanish nicknames, rich family traditions, and Latin musical energy), and faith (music that exalts God, business that genuinely adds value, and choosing joy in each circumstance). Nico recalls playing right after the Pope at World Youth Day for 200,000+ people, reflects on being “rich and wild” in Spanish culture, and shares how Viktor Frankl’s insight - our freedom to choose a response - guides his work and prayer. The Dudes also attempt a color‑coded parody of I Will Survive… Highlights & Takeaways • From Colombia to the U.S.: early years, deep family bonds, and how American experiences shaped his worldview. • Faith, family, and country: the three loves Nico says define his life. • Music with a mission: forming EPIC the Band and leading Spanish worship at the National Eucharistic Congress (~50,000). • World Youth Day story: playing on the main stage immediately after the Pope for 200,000–250,000 people in Panama. • Business as service: a redeemed Catholic vision • Choosing joy daily: channeling Viktor Frankl. We can’t always choose circumstances but can choose our response. • Cultural laughter: affectionate Spanish nicknames, and why the USA chant needs work.

Happy Accidents & Holy Encounters | Michael Greene | Episode #258
In this fun-filled episode, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome back Michael Greene, the “grandpa” from Grandma and Grandpa Camp and now officially dubbed the James Bond of Grandparents. Today’s conversation flows around powerful “God moments”, those surprising, providential times when the Lord shows up in unexpected ways. Michael shares stories of houses that fell through (thankfully, thanks to termites and a title dispute), and how God sometimes needs to hit us with a 2x4 to get our attention. Michael unpacks how prayer and forgiveness have shaped his family through decades of life and marriage with his wife, Rosemary. Together, the BeatiDudes and Michael explore when they feel closest to God, whether in early morning prayer, praying over a child during nightmares, or writing prayers directly into emails instead of just promising them.

No Parents Allowed | Michael Greene | Episode #257
What happens when two intentional grandparents turn a simple idea into a decades-long family tradition? Meet Michael Green, 80 years young, who, with his bride Rosemary, built “Grandma & Grandpa Camp,” a week of fun, formation, and cousin-to-cousin friendship that’s changed their entire family culture. From “I Wear Pink for Grandma” (a breast-cancer-survivor moment that will hit you right in the heart) to “non-negotiables” like high tea in a tux, outdoor movie night, and murder-mystery dinners, Michael shows the BeatiDudes how ordinary time, shared faithfully, becomes extraordinary grace. Along the way, we talk faith, Eucharistic reverence, Fulton Sheen, and why the rule “No Parents Allowed” might be the secret sauce to stronger generational bonds. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein learn all about how to run a successful Grandma & Grandpa Camp.

The Eighth Continent | Evan Raugust | Episode #256
Twenty-year-old Catholic YouTube strategist Evan Raugust is with the BeatiDudes to unpack his recent solo trip through the Holy Land, including places like Bethlehem’s cave, Nazareth’s streets, Golgotha’s stones, and the peaceful waters of the Sea of Galilee. Evan shares how filming on pilgrimage deepened his faith, how he designs thumbnails and stories that reach millions, and why “vanity metrics” must stay in their place. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein talk community, humility, and the Church’s mission on the “eighth continent”: the internet. Highlights: • Holy Land, handheld: Evan traveled solo by bus and foot to film the major sites of Jesus’ life, turning Scripture locations into lived reality. • Expectation vs. reality: From beach trash along Galilee to Nazareth’s modern demographics, the surprise details made the Gospel feel even more human and immediate. • Sea of Galilee moment: In loneliness and awe, Evan experienced God’s protection, seeing Peter’s rescue as present tense, not past. • Community matters: The comment box brings prayer requests, testimonies, and real relationships, proof the internet is a place for mission, not just a tool. • Why film elevates memory: Editing forces deep reflection, turning travel into testimony that others can actually enter. Key Takeaways • Pilgrimage reframes Scripture as a specific place and time, and that concreteness strengthens faith. • Creative discipline (clear hook, visual contrast, tight narrative) is how beauty meets reach. • Numbers serve mission; they don’t define worth. Keep virtue ahead of virality. • The Church’s digital mission works best when creators ask for prayer, accountability, and community.

YouTube Strategist Dropping Knowledge | Evan Raugust | Episode #255
At the tiny table, hosts Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome Evan Raugust, a 20-year-old Catholic YouTuber and strategist who has already built a reputation for helping channels grow with focus, clarity, and positivity. Evan shares how he left Las Vegas for Dallas, why he locked himself in a room to study thousands of videos, and how he approaches YouTube as both an art and a science. His story moves from a Calvary Chapel upbringing to full reception into the Catholic Church in 2023, showing how faith and media can intersect with purpose. Episode Highlights: • Roots & Relocation - Leaving the transient culture of Vegas for the Catholic vibrancy of Dallas. • The YouTube Grind - Three weeks of intense study produced insights into “view caps” and “view floors.” • Confidence & Conversion - From doubting himself to becoming Catholic, Evan shares the inner journey behind the metrics. • Positivity Over Rage - Why encouraging, uplifting content builds loyal audiences that last. • Borrowing Formats - Applying proven video strategies from secular niches to evangelize in the Christian space. • Respect for All Faiths - Engaging Protestants, Muslims, Hindus, and more with curiosity. • 100K Milestone - Live subscriber counts tick upward as the conversation unfolds.

Witness > Words | Mike Pacer | Episode #254
Mike Pacer is with the BeatiDudes to talk about the gritty, grace-filled reality of Catholic marriage and fatherhood. From why kids actually want boundaries to how husbands can shift from praying “next to” to praying “with” their wives, Mike lays out a hopeful, practical path: witness first, build a shared spirituality, make joy a decision, and apologize quickly. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein laugh their way through Ignatian holy water, Latin(ish) dad jokes, and a peek behind the scenes of 5 Stones’ work with the Eucharistic Congress. Top Takeaways · Witness > Words: Your kids imitate what you do before they believe what you say. · Love = Willing the Good: Love isn’t a butterfly; it’s a choice repeated daily, especially when it costs you. · Pray Together, Not Just “Next To”: Stop forcing your spouse into your style; discover a shared spirituality through dialogue and humility. · Boundaries Are Love: Discipline that trains, not shames. · Entrance Prayer: Before you walk in the door, pause and pray because your primary vocation is waiting at home. · Joy on Purpose: Temperaments differ, but joy can be a decision in service of love. · Own It Fast: The quickest way to lead at home? Admit faults and apologize to your wife and your kids. Practical Challenge (Do This Today) · Text of Blessing: Send your wife a simple, sincere note, no agenda, just love. · Hidden Service: Do one chore she’ll never notice… because you did it before it became a burden. · Couple Prayer Plan: Choose one shared devotion for the week (e.g., Divine Mercy Chaplet in the car; a decade after dinner; or a bedtime psalm). · Driveway Pause: Say a short prayer in the car before entering the house.

What happens when a trial lawyer hears God tell him to “just leave”? In this powerful and joy-filled conversation, Mike Pacer shares his remarkable journey from the courtroom to Catholic ministry, publishing, and ultimately the founding of 5 Stones, a powerhouse partner for some of the world's top Catholic apostolates. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein dive deep into: - The story behind 5 Stones and how its five core services empower evangelization. - Mike’s book “Prayers for Catholic Men” and why prayer is both structure and surrender. - Honest talk about spiritual dryness, discernment, and trusting God when consolations fade. - The balance of humility and leadership in building faith-filled workplaces. - A hilariously improvised round of Blessed Are the Joke Makers (complete with a Father Mike Schmitz impersonation). From arm-rubbing mix-ups in Salt Lake City to authentic lessons on faith, fatherhood, and business, this episode captures the BeatiDudes blend of comedy and Catholic conviction.

The Chapel Story that Only God Could Write | John Egan | Episode #252
Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome John Egan to share one of the most remarkable stories of faith, redemption, and the unexpected ways God works through ordinary efforts. John recounts his time as director of The Pines Catholic Camp in East Texas, where the dream of building an air-conditioned chapel, against all odds, turned into more than just a construction project. With limited funds, relentless faith, and the help of staff, family, and alumni, John and his wife literally helped build a church from the ground up. But the story didn’t end there. Through a providential connection with the foreman “Buddy,” a man whose personal struggles and redemption journey would culminate in an unexpected conversion, the chapel became the site of healing, grace, and even Buddy’s funeral Mass. The conversation highlights themes of perseverance, family reconciliation, sacramental grace, and God’s relentless pursuit of each soul. The heart of this BeatiDudes’ episode is a testimony to how God works through ordinary efforts to create extraordinary grace. Whether you’ve ever hammered a nail for a parish project or simply wondered if God can redeem the broken parts of our stories, this episode will leave you inspired and grateful for the ways the Spirit shows up when we say “yes.” Our Partners:   ⁠⁠⁠Sock Religious (10% Discount)⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠Solidarity HealthShare⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠Aquinas Wealth Advisors⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠Lucid Private Office⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠Divine Comedy⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠Undivided Life⁠⁠⁠   Follow The BeatiDudes:   ⁠⁠⁠BeatiDudes Website⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠   BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By   ⁠⁠⁠The Pencil Bureau⁠⁠⁠    ⁠⁠⁠Dave Moore Music⁠
