    Orthodox Catholic Hip Hop Rap Artist | Oscar Rivera @ DCYC 2025 | Episode #207

    Coming at you from the Amen Corner of the 2025 Dallas Catholic Youth Conference (DCYC), Oscar Rivera joins the BeatiDudes at the traveling tiny table. As the emcee of DCYC, Oscar is the common thread between every speaker at the conference. A New York Mets and Las Vegas Raiders fan, Oscar Rivera was raised in the inner city of Waterbury, Connecticut, and was taught early on how to be a survivor. His method of avoiding the streets and its promises, became the art of Hip Hop (or Hip-Hop Rap if you’re Jeff). Oscar takes his knowledge of the faith and inspires youth and young adults through his music, talks, retreats, and personal testimony. His life has been devoted to the New Evangelization of the Gospel and his upbeat contemporary approach to the good news has made the message easy to understand, follow, and relate to. Christianity is not boring, and Oscar does not intend to be either. Oscar leaves Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein with something powerful as he urges adults to wake up and show the youth that they have a purpose in the Church right now, not later. You can find Oscar on social media and his podcast, Ave Spotlight, which drops weekly.

    Superhero and Super-Marriage | Steven Thomas | Episode #204

    Steven Thomas, author of Catholic Joe: Superhero, is back with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein to talk about the beauty of marriage. After the sadness of his parents’ divorce when he was young, Steven’s heart was galvanized to fight for marriage. He has been married for 34 years and has eight living children. Steven wrote Catholic Joe: Superhero to show the beauty of marriage and make the Church more inviting. His advice for men, married or not, is to turn to St Joseph, follow the church teachings, and pray the family rosary. Catholic Joe is the first book in the series. Lieutenant General Joseph Salvatore, husband and father of a large family, is a man’s man. At age 48, he is still considered one of the deadliest men on the planet, able to kill an enemy with his bare hands and with the same hands tenderly caress his wife and children. Joe brings this same lethal intensity as he fights to save his youngest brother's marriage. In fighting for his brother, Joe, later deemed Catholic Joe by a reporter, uncovers corruption in the government and his church. During this bonus episode, The BeatiDudes and Steven Thomas declare that “thou shall consider every kid a miracle” before taking an unexpected call from a former BeatiDudes Super-Guest, Fr. Ken Geraci. Learn more about Catholic Joe: Superhero.

    Good Homilies Matter | Bishop Gregory Kelly | Episode #202

    Bishop Greg Kelly, the newly installed 5th Bishop of the Diocese of Tyler, joins BeatiDudes Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein again for this bonus episode about homilies. Bishop Greg Kelly was ordained to the priesthood in 1982. Throughout his life, he listened to many boring homilies, and he longed to deliver something better. When the Institute for Homiletics opened its doors in Dallas in 2021, Bishop Kelly was among the first to enroll. The Institute for Homiletics, a collaboration between the University of Dallas and the Catholic Foundation, was founded to renew preaching in the Catholic Church. The Institute believes that preaching should bring the people of God into an encounter with the living God. Likewise, the Institute for Religiously Funny Podcasts has blessed the work of The BeatiDudes for successfully combining humor and holiness in every episode of the show.
