    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.

    Stronger Together: Forgiveness, Brotherhood & the Path to Reconciliation. 23rd Sunday in Ordinary time.

    In this episode of The Point Man Podcast, the guys continue their new Lectio Divina format by reflecting on Matthew 18 and the powerful call to reconciliation, forgiveness, humility, and authentic brotherhood. What do you do when a brother sins against you? Instead of avoiding conflict, holding grudges, venting to others, or taking frustrations public, Jesus gives us a path: go directly to your brother, seek resolution, bring trusted brothers alongside you when necessary, and remain rooted in the truth of the Church. The conversation explores the courage it takes to have difficult conversations, the difference between pursuing justice and protecting our ego, and why forgiveness does not mean approving of the wrong that was done. The guys also reflect on the freedom that comes from loosening the burdens we carry—resentment, bitterness, pride, and unforgiveness—and placing them in the hands of Christ. At the heart of this episode is a powerful reminder: we were never meant to do this alone. Where two or three are gathered in His name, Christ is present. Brotherhood matters. Community matters. The Church matters. And sometimes the path back to unity requires the humility and fortitude to take the first step. Join the Point Man team as they unpack what it means to confront with love, forgive without keeping score, and walk together toward the freedom Christ desires for each of us. 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. Live a life of virtue. Stay close to the sacraments. Be the Point Man for your family.

    Lent/Easter Retreat, Conference 4 (w/Retreat Leader Greg Raymond)

    "SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST"  I am a soldier for Jesus Christ! The die has been cast. The decision has been made. I have stepped over the line of fear and doubt. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, be still, silent or afraid.  My past is redeemed, my present makes sense and my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals.  I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, am fed by the Eucharist, love with patience, live by prayer and endure with His power because His word is in me.  My eyes are focused, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable and my mission is clear so why FEAR? I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice or suffering, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity or meander in the maze of mediocrity.  till  I won't give up, shut up, let up or slow up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up and spoken up for the cause of Jesus Christ! YES!!! I am a SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST! I must go He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My heart is for Him! I will not waver, because I'm a SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!!!  AMEN! AMEN!
