    Ep 18 | Choice: Weekly Jesus

    Are you free to say, “Yes” to what is good for you and “No” to what isn’t? Jesus believes you are far stronger than you know. He believes you can develop the awareness, mental strength, and spiritual maturity to rise above your desires and say, “yes” to what is good, holy and healthy and “no” to what isn’t.

    Ep 17 | Empathy Ain't Superman!

    Empathy is powerful—but it ain't enough! As a culture, not only are we obsessed with empathy but we treat it like superman. As if it's invincible and the perfect cure to all ills. But Jesus tells a different story. True healing requires not just validation, not just empathy, but redemption, resurrection, and mercy. Empathy is important, but so is action, so is forgiveness, and so is redemption!

    Ep 16 | Daily Jesus: The Danger of Conviction

    The devil loves it when I feel convicted, feel inspired, and check spiritual boxes, but never actually set out to live the Gospel. He loves it when I talk a big game and do nothing about it. On the other hand, it seems that God loves it when I talk little and act faithfully. So, are you talking or living?

    Ep 15 | The Virtue of Intensity: A Conversation with Brian Honsberger Part Two

    St. Paul was tough. But he was also tender. He adapted, he suffered, he failed, and he kept going. In this conversation, Jack and Brian unpack how Paul’s intense personality, courageous preaching, and deepening surrender over time offer a practical path for any man trying to live with purpose today. Masculine spirituality. Apostolic mission. Honest growth. It’s all here. To access more content from Jack or to learn more about his work as a Catholic Mentor, go to ⁠⁠⁠thecatholicmentor.com⁠⁠⁠.
