    What Does It Really Mean to Be Blessed? w/ Dr. Jordan Haddad: Solemnity of All Saints, Matt. 5:1-12

    Thanks to Ryan Foley and the Catholic Mission Network for their sponsorship and support of The Point Man Podcast. https://nds.edu/team-member/jordan-a-haddad-ph-d/ https://catholicexchange.com/contributor/dan-spencer-iii/  https://www.echocommunity.us/uploads/2/3/9/3/23935933/english_loc_-_digital_version.pdf In this episode of The Point Man Podcast, the guys and special guest Dr. Jordan Haddad reflect on Matthew 5:1–12 and the Beatitudes in honor of the Solemnity of All Saints. Jesus turns the world’s definition of happiness upside down, showing us that true blessedness is found not in worldly success, comfort, or recognition, but in a heart transformed by God. The guys explore what it means to be poor in spirit, meek, merciful, pure of heart, and willing to endure suffering for the sake of righteousness. The conversation challenges us to move beyond simply knowing Scripture and begin living it. Through reflections on faith, sacrifice, fortitude, and the lives of the saints, they discuss how we can grow in holiness, trust God’s promises, and recognize His presence even in the midst of hardship. They also share practical ways to bring Scripture into daily life, including memorizing passages that help us confront our personal struggles and grow in virtue. Ultimately, sainthood is not about copying someone else’s life. It is about becoming the person God created us to be and faithfully answering His call in our own lives. As husbands and fathers, our mission is to lead our families toward Heaven and strive for holiness in the ordinary moments of each day.

    What Is the Greatest Commandment?: 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Matt 22:34-40

    Thank you to Ryan Foley and the Catholic Mission Network for their sponsorship and support In this episode of The Point Man Podcast, the guys reflect on Matthew 22:34–40 and Jesus’ two greatest commandments: love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. The guys challenge one another to move beyond simply knowing the commandments and begin living them with greater intention. They discuss how pride, busyness, personal priorities, and the desire for comfort can keep us from putting God first and recognizing the needs of those around us. Through personal stories, including a powerful example of compassion toward a homeless woman, the conversation explores what it truly means to be our brother’s keeper. Love sometimes calls us to give more than we planned, set aside our own agenda, or simply be present for someone who needs us. Ultimately, the episode is a reminder that our faith is not just about following rules or checking boxes. Everything hinges on love: loving God first and allowing that love to shape how we serve our families, care for our neighbors, and give of ourselves.

    Living in the World and Not of the World: 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Matt 22:15-22

    Thank you to Ryan Foley and the Catholic Mission Network for sponsoring and supporting The Point Man Podcast. In this episode of The Point Man Podcast, the guys reflect on Matthew 22:15–22 and Jesus’ teaching to render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s. Joined by special guest Ryan, they explore what it means to live in the world without becoming consumed by it, and how we can give God the first place in every area of our lives. The conversation challenges husbands and fathers to examine their priorities, from work and sports to family life and daily responsibilities. Are we simply making time for God, or are we allowing Him to shape everything we do? The guys discuss the importance of leading by example, forming our children in the faith, and recognizing when worldly commitments begin to take priority over our relationship with God. They also explore the virtues of temperance and fortitude, the challenge of being fully present with our families, and how to respond to frustration with patience, humility, and love. Ultimately, the call is simple: Give God what belongs to God. Our time, talents, families, and entire lives are gifts from Him. As husbands and fathers, we are called to put Him first and lead our families toward Heaven.

    Accept the Invitation to the Wedding Feast: 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Matt 22:1-14

    Thanks to Ryan Foley and the Catholic Mission Network for their sponsorship and support of The Point Man Podcast. The passage guiding today’s discussion is from the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Times, Year A, October 11, 2026. In this episode of The Point Man Podcast, the guys reflect on Matthew 22:1-14 and the Parable of the Wedding Feast. The guys unpack what it means to be invited to the wedding feast of heaven and why our response to that invitation matters. Jesus makes it clear that the invitation is offered freely, but we are also called to prepare our hearts and respond with intentionality. The conversation explores the temptation to become distracted by work, business, family responsibilities, or our own plans and miss what God is inviting us into. They discuss the importance of not simply checking the boxes of our faith, but allowing Christ to transform our hearts through prayer, the sacraments, Scripture, and a genuine relationship with Him. The guys also reflect on the wedding garment and what it means to be clothed in love and charity. The invitation is not simply about showing up. It is about allowing God’s grace to change the way we live, love our spouses, raise our children, and serve the people entrusted to us. Ultimately, the episode asks a simple but challenging question: Do we have eyes to see what God is inviting us into? The wedding feast is prepared. The invitation has been given. The question is whether we will accept it and intentionally live in response to it.

    The Vineyard Was Never Mine: 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Matt 21:33-43

    The passage guiding today’s discussion is from the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Times, Year A, October 4, 2026. In this episode of The Point Man Podcast, the guys read and reflect on Matthew 21:33-43 and the Parable of the Wicked Tenants. The guys unpack what it means to recognize that we are tenants in God’s vineyard and that the gifts, relationships, families, work, and responsibilities entrusted to us ultimately belong to Him. The conversation explores the temptation to grasp for control, rely on ourselves, and treat God’s gifts as our own rather than receiving them with gratitude and becoming good stewards. The guys also wrestle with a deeper question: Do we truly believe that God is a good Father? Through conversations about surrender, prayer, Scripture, adoration, fatherhood, anxiety, and the example of a faithful wife, they discuss what it looks like to move from simply knowing about God to actually encountering Him and trusting Him. The episode also challenges fathers to consider how they model God’s love within the home and how the way we live, serve, and love our families can point our children toward the Father. Ultimately, the call is simple: Let Christ be your cornerstone. Trust the Father, surrender what was never truly ours, and faithfully bear fruit in the vineyard He has entrusted to us.

    Say Yes to The Father: 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

    In this episode of The Point Man Podcast, the guys reflect on Matthew 21:28-32, the parable of the two sons. Jesus tells of a father who asks his two sons to work in his vineyard. One says no but later changes his mind and goes. The other says yes but never follows through. The guys unpack what it means to truly hear the will of God and respond with our lives, not just our words. The conversation explores obedience as love acted out, the daily nature of conversion and discipleship, and the importance of allowing God's love to transform our hearts. They discuss the temptation to write people off because of their past, the call to see others as sons and daughters of the Father, and the small opportunities each day to respond to God's will. The guys also share personal stories, including an encounter with a homeless man in New Orleans and the incredible story of a South Vietnamese pilot who landed his family on an American aircraft carrier during the fall of Saigon. Both stories highlight the importance of recognizing moments when we are being called to act. The episode ultimately challenges each of us to ask: Where am I saying no to God, and where is He asking me to say yes today?

    It’s Never Too Late to Begin Again: 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

    In this episode of The Point Man Podcast, the guys reflect on the parable of the workers in the vineyard and what it reveals about the generosity, mercy, and goodness of God. Why does the landowner give the same wage to the worker who arrived at the end of the day as the one who worked from the beginning? The conversation dives into the tension we can feel when God’s generosity doesn’t seem “fair” by our standards and how easily comparison, envy, pride, and resentment can take root in our hearts. The Point Men explore the powerful truth that God’s mercy is not something we earn through comparison or performance. Everything is grace. The landowner goes out first, seeks his workers, and continues inviting people into the vineyard throughout the day reminding us that God is always taking the initiative and calling us closer to Him. This episode is also a reminder for anyone who feels like they are too late, too far behind, or have too much ground to make up: it’s never too late to start. Whether you are returning to your faith, working to strengthen your marriage, becoming a more faithful father, or simply trying to begin again after falling short, there is still an invitation waiting for you. God can do much with what we are willing to place in His hands. The conversation also challenges us to stop comparing our story to someone else’s. We may not understand what God is doing in another person’s life and we don’t need to. Our call is to trust the goodness of the Father, rejoice when others receive His mercy, and faithfully respond to the unique invitation He has placed before us. At the heart of this episode is a simple but challenging question: Does my life start with God, or does it start with me? Join the Point Man team as they unpack what it means to surrender our prayers, works, joys, and sufferings to the Lord, live as stewards of the gifts we have been given, and enter each new day with the courage to begin again. A special thank you to Ryan Foley and the Catholic Mission Network for their generous sponsorship and continued support of The Point Man Podcast. We are grateful for your partnership and for helping make this mission possible. The kingdom starts with the Landowner. We simply receive His grace with gratitude and bear fruit for His kingdom.

    The Power of Forgiveness: 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

    In this episode of The Point Man Podcast, the guys dive into one of the most challenging and essential calls of the Christian life: forgiveness. Reflecting on the Gospel of Matthew, where Peter asks Jesus how many times he must forgive his brother, the conversation explores Christ’s powerful response: not seven times, but seventy-seven times. Through the parable of the unforgiving servant, the Point Men unpack the incredible mercy God has shown each of us and the responsibility we have to extend that same mercy to others. This conversation goes beyond simply saying, “I forgive you.” The guys wrestle with what it truly means to forgive from the heart, especially when the wounds are real, the offense is deep, and letting go feels impossible. They discuss the supernatural grace required for forgiveness, the weight that resentment can place on our lives, the importance of humility and reconciliation, and why some wounds are too heavy to carry alone. At the heart of this episode is a powerful question for all of us: What am I still holding on to? Forgiveness doesn’t mean pretending we were never hurt. It doesn’t mean ignoring the reality of deep wounds. But through Christ, we are invited into a freedom that resentment can never give us. Sometimes forgiveness requires a difficult conversation. Sometimes it requires prayer, reconciliation, support from others, and a willingness to allow God to heal what we cannot heal on our own. The challenge is simple but not easy: remember the incredible debt that has been forgiven in us, and allow that mercy to transform the way we love others. A special thank you to Ryan Foley and the Catholic Mission Network for their generous sponsorship and continued support of The Point Man Podcast. We are grateful for your partnership and for helping make this mission possible. There is incredible power in forgiveness—the power of Christ Himself.
