Are You Accidentally Letting the Devil in Your Home? w/ Dr. John Cuddeback
The Culture of Death is not random. Today we discuss the intelligence behind it and how your home is the first target. We dive deep into why you are so busy it hurts, and why you try so hard to “keep work at work” without realizing this is hurting your family. Feeling as if you are being pulled in a hundred different directions and looking for one simple solution is not the answer. The devil slowl
No. 1 Way to Unlock God's Blessings in Your Life
We hand our identity to the things we own. The house, the car, the title in the email signature, the number in the account. We see a man who is thirty seven and retired and decide he must have life figured out, and we measure ourselves against a pile we know nothing about. Underneath a lot of it is fear, the fear of losing what we have and the fear of who we would be without it. Devin and I sat do
3 Things the World is Stealing from Every Father
The world is stripping three things away from every Catholic man. Not in ways you'd recognize as an attack but disguised as a busy evening, a competing priority, or a reasonable excuse. Then one day you wake up and realize something essential is gone.
In this episode, we sit down to name three things the world, the flesh, and the devil are working together to take from you: your role as Kustos,
Cocaine Addict Becomes On Fire Catholic
A Fortune 250 company's Salesman of the Year. Devoted husband. Faithful Catholic father and a 17-year addiction no one knew about, including his wife. John Edwards spent nearly two decades living two lives at once. He closed sales by day, chased down his dealer by afternoon, and kept the mask on at home so well that no one knew. It held together right up until the morning he sat in a jail cell on
4 Reasons Satan Hates St. Joseph
The Church calls Saint Joseph the Terror of Demons. A carpenter. A foster father. A man who speaks not a single word in Scripture. And hell is terrified of him.
In this episode, John Heinen sits down with Devin Schadt, executive director of the Fathers of Saint Joseph, to unpack the four reasons Satan hates Saint Joseph. These are the virtues that send demons running. The same virtues every Catho
The Drift that's Killing Catholic Men
🟢 FREE Handmade Rosary This Month for those joining CG+ https://catholicgentlemanplus.com/rosary
Drift It accumulates in the gap between who we intended to be and who we've actually become. Recent studies show that 63% of men wish they didn't have to be adults, and 41% of men between 24 and 29 don't feel like adults at all. That's not a personality quirk. That's a crisis.

https://catholicgentlemanplus.com/rosary
John Sablan spent the better part of his adult life being what he now calls the X factor in his family: the one holding everything back. Raised in abuse, living a wayward life, he and his wife stumbled into the Catholic Church, and he settled comfortably into being lukewarm. His marriage came to th
Why 90% of Catholic Kids Leave the Faith (w/ Dr. Greg Popcak)
This stat should shake every Catholic father awake: 85 to 90 percent of kids raised in Catholic homes will leave the faith by adulthood.
We've somehow accepted that as normal. It's not. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Greg Popcak, a Catholic counselor with over 30 years in the trenches and author of more than 20 books, to talk about what the families who beat those odds are actually doing d
Exorcist Fr. Ripperger: Raising Your Sons to Be Men
Exorcist priest Fr. Chad Ripperger grew up working in his father's diesel mechanics shop, where he learned that reality doesn't care what you think or how you feel. A bolt either fits or it doesn't. A machine is either fixed or it isn't. And a man is either being formed or he's being stunted. In this conversation, Fr. Ripperger unpacks why young men today are trapped in adolescence, what the curse
This 7-Step Morning Protocol Will Change Everything
Every man knows the difference between a morning that owns him and a morning he owns. In this episode, Devin Schadt and I walk through a practical seven-point framework for building a morning routine that actually holds.

No. 1 Relationship Expert Reveals the Secret to Real Intimacy (w/ Adam Lane Smith)
Men today are doing everything they’ve been told, working hard, providing, staying faithful, yet they still feel disconnected or confused from their wives and children. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt sit down with Adam Lane Smith to uncover why. Drawing from the science of attachment theory, Adam exposes how a man can be highly capable on the outside while remaining emotionally isol
The Hidden Root of Anxiety w/ Dr. Bob Schuchts
We carry pain we can't name. It shows up as anxiety, anger, overwork, or the sense that no matter what we do, it's never enough. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt sit down with Dr. Bob Schuchts of the St. John Paul II Healing Center to explore what's really driving the unrest men feel and why pushing through it, numbing it, or ignoring it only makes it worse.

The Only Way for a Man to Behave Online (w/Timothy Flanders)
Men using the internet have no idea they are losing a war they never knew they were fighting. The algorithm is not neutral, it is rewarding outrage, feeding pride, and quietly rewiring the way men think, speak, and relate to God. Timothy Flanders, Editor-in-Chief of OnePeterFive, has lived inside this tension for years. He has built a major Catholic journal online while wrestling personally with w
The World Will Turn on You. Be Ready.
In this episode of Into the Desert, Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen confront the tension at the heart of Palm Sunday: the same voices that cry “Hosanna” can quickly turn to “Crucify Him.” What looks like devotion can collapse under pressure, revealing how easily men drift with the crowd, seek approval, and abandon the path of Christ when it becomes costly.
They press into the question: “Will I re
5 Traits Women Want in a Man
We get this question all the time, what do I need to do to find a wife or get married? So often we find men waiting for the right woman to find them, the right opportunity to arrive, the right moment to finally step up. The problem isn't that they lack a desire; the problem is that they haven't yet done the interior and exterior work of becoming marriageable. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin
The Father Who Ran: When A Child Refuses
Every father eventually faces a moment when his child pulls away. The distance grows, the relationship hardens, and most men respond in one of three ways. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt use the parable of the Prodigal Son to diagnose what's really happening beneath the surface: why rebellion cuts so deeply into a man's sense of worth, and what the wounds underneath his reactions are
This Is Where Men Quit Lent | Fr. Ken Geraci & John Heinen
We start Lent with strong intentions. The fasting plan is clear. The prayer routine feels doable. The discipline is there. But somewhere in the middle of Lent, the struggle begins. The motivation fades, the routine breaks down, and we quietly give up.
In this episode of Into the Desert, Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen explain why this exact moment is where real spiritual growth begins. The desert
The Leadership Lie Destroying Families
The word "headship" has become so loaded that most men either weaponize it or abandon it entirely. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt cut through the cultural noise to recover what male leadership actually means, not as domination or control, but as a divine paradigm rooted in the very nature of God and modeled from the beginning in Adam, St. Joseph, and Christ Himself.
Why do men of
Why Giving Money Is a Spiritual Battle | Fr. Ken Geraci & John Heinen
We can look disciplined on the surface while still clinging to comfort, control, security, and the illusion that what we have is our own. This conversation gets underneath the act of giving and presses on the deeper question: what am I holding onto?
Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen talk about why almsgiving is more than generosity, why it exposes the heart, and how gratitude breaks the instinct to
What We Can Learn From a Dying Father: Former Senator Ben Sasse Speaks
We avoid thinking about death until it forces its way into the room. But what happens when a husband and father is suddenly told he has ninety days to live?
In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt examine the striking story of former Nebraska senator Ben Sasse, who recently revealed a stage-four pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Drawing from his candid interview reflecting on that moment, they
What Prayer Actually Does to a Man | Fr. Ken Geraci & John Heinen
Prayer becomes one of two things: a religious obligation or a strategy to get results.
But it's not a productivity tool. It’s not emotional therapy. And it’s not a way to convince God of anything.
In this week’s Lent series, Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen cut through the purpose of prayer. If fasting makes room, prayer is where union happens. Prayer is where control dies, and where a man learns
How We Treat Women Reveals This About Us (It Never Lies)
How a man treats women is never a side issue. It is one of the clearest revelations of his interior life, where it is at and even where it is going. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt explore why masculinity is tested not in dominance, intellect, or achievement, but in whether a man honors, protects, and reverences the feminine. From the way a man looks at women in public, to how he spe
The Right Way for Catholic Men to Fast | Fr. Ken Geraci & John Heinen
It's time for a reset to the entire purpose of fasting. John shares how he spent years fasting the wrong way, treating it like self-mortification for the sake of self-control. Until a spiritual director challenged him: fasting isn’t mainly about proving you can suffer. It’s about making room for loving union with Christ.
Fr. Ken explains why the Church gives a minimal fasting prescription. It’s m
Why SILENCE is Your Superpower
You see over 5000 marketing messages every day. In 2025, hundreds of billions of emails were sent every day, notifications never stop, and research shows the average person switches attention every 47 seconds. We are conditioned to live and stay teathered to noise. But all of this keeps us separated from God. In addition, Scripture warns that men will render account for every careless word they sp
The Lent Resolution We All Need | Fr. Ken Geraci & John Heinen
This Ash Wednesday, Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen go straight to the heart of Lent’s first command: repent and believe.
We're focusing on two concrete actions that we avoid until we're desperate: a real examination of conscience and a clean, simple confession. Not scrupulosity. Not vague generalities. An honest inventory of blind spots, weak spots, compromises, and missed opportunities for virt
The Ultimate Plan for Lent
Men treat Lent as optional. However, if this were the case, Christ would NOT have begun His public ministry with the command to repent. Yet most Catholic men approach Lent as if it were extra credit — giving something up, struggling through forty days, and returning to the same patterns unchanged. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt discuss the real reason Lent exists. Penance is not a s
Prideful? The Best Way to Stop and Become Humble
Pride among Catholic men rarely looks like arrogance. What men don't realize is that it surfaces as control, self-reliance, withdrawal, or even habits that appear virtuous on the surface. In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John Heinen and Devin Schadt are joined by Patrick O’Hearn to examine why pride is so difficult to recognize in ourselves, and why it quietly blocks growth in the spirit
No. 1 Reason Men Struggle to Get Ahead
Men today are often lost and quietly confused. Some know they should strive for more, yet feel strangely unmoved to pursue it. Others are driven but stuck, spinning their wheels, repeating the same habits and even the same sins, wondering why nothing ever changes. Still others feel unambitious, listless, and disengaged, moving from obligation to obligation without a clear sense of direction. In th
Overcome Fear and Persevere w/ Jeff Schiefelbein
Most men today feel torn in a dozen directions. Family, work, faith, pressure, expectations, comparison, and the relentless noise of a culture that confuses success with self-promotion.
In this conversation, Jeff Schiefelbein dismantles those false narratives.
He reveals a radically Catholic vision of leadership and manhood built not on ego, luck, or hustle, but on integrity, stewardship, and th
Why Does God Allow Suffering?
Why does God allow suffering, especially for good and innocent people who are trying to live faithfully? Many men assume suffering means something has gone wrong: a lack of faith, a mistake, or even abandonment by God. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt confront that assumption directly. Drawing from our own personal suffering they challenge the modern instinct to avoid pain at all cost
7 Truths Men Were Never Taught to Understand
Men who are trying to be disciplined, responsible, and successful still feel internally restless, scattered, or dissatisfied. They work harder, set better goals, and chase improvement, yet something underneath remains unresolved. The problem is not effort. It’s formation. Many men were never given a clear vision of what masculinity is ordered toward, only pressure to perform and compete without un
The Husband's Authority (4 Ways Men Are Called to Protect Their Family)

The 5 Hidden Vices Fathers Pass to Their Children Without Even Realizing It
Why do so many men find themselves struggling with the same patterns their fathers struggled with: anger, distraction, work obsession, emotional distance, lust, even despite promising they’d be different? The truth is, fathers pass far more to their children than they realize. Not just beliefs or values, but habits, tone, priorities, and ways of relating that quietly shape the next generation.

Protestant Pastor Becomes Catholic: The Hard Truth Every Man Needs to Hear (w/ Keith Nester)

FLASHBACK: How to Discuss Sex with your Wife
WARNING, this episode contains adult content.
Few men realize how deeply silence about sex can wound intimacy. It’s not usually selfishness that causes distance, but fear of saying the wrong thing, being rejected, or exposing the ache for connection that runs deeper than words. Over time, unspoken needs harden into resentment, and what was meant to unite begins to divide.

Demons in the Home - How Evil Spirits Attack Us
Men underestimate the war being waged against them. The Devil doesn’t just tempt from a distance; he enters your home, seeking to pull you off your vocation as a husband and father, drown out the voice of God, and divide your marriage. Scripture, the saints, and even modern exorcists confirm it: this is how the enemy works. Yet the vast majority of men are unarmed and frankly unaware.
