Catholic men, we’re at war—and this episode is a rallying cry. Fr. Dominic joins me as we dive deep into the election of Pope Leo XIV, what his papacy means for the Church, and how men must rise as warriors in the spiritual battle of our time. We discuss the symbolism of Pope Leo taking his name in continuity with the great Leo XIII, the Rosary Pope who gave us the St. Michael Prayer. We look at the promise of strong leadership, the dangers of confusion in the Church, and what it means for men ...

Most men today go through the motions of their faith without reverence, without preparation, and without fire. In this episode of The Manly Catholic, I sit down with Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB. He is a monk, translator, and retreat master of the Abbey of the Most Holy Trinity in New Norcia, Western Australia and he is here to confront that complacency head-on. We dive into his newest translation from Sophia Institute Press: The Eucharistic Visions of St. Francis of Rome. St. Francis of Rome was a wi...

Men, we are losing the battle because too many of us are sitting on the sidelines. In this powerful episode, I sit down with Jonathan Kuplak, co-founder of Sebaste, to talk about fighting back, breaking free from mediocrity, and choosing the cross in our daily lives. From running 214-mile endurance races to leading life-changing summer intensives for young men, he embodies what it means to get in the arena and stay there, even when you get knocked down. Sebaste is raising up a generation of Cat...

The Cross is not a symbol. It is a weapon. It is the key that unlocked Heaven, crushed Satan’s kingdom, and stands as the central reality of our Catholic faith. In this homily, Fr. Dom dives deep into the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the power of relics, and the meaning of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Fr. Dom begins with something extraordinary: a documented relic of the True Cross. Not just a piece of history, but a Eucharistic relic, tied directly to the mystery of Christ’s B...

Brothers, this episode of The Manly Catholic is unlike any other. I come to you with a heavy heart, grieving the assassination of Charlie Kirk: a husband, a father, and a fearless warrior for truth. This isn’t just about the death of a public figure. It’s about the loss of a brother in Christ, a man who stood boldly in a culture that mocks our faith and hates everything we stand for as Catholic men. Why does this tragedy cut so deeply? Because we see ourselves in Charlie. We saw in him the cour...

In this episode of The Manly Catholic, I sit down with Chris Lewis, the artist and founder behind Baritus Catholic Illustration. Chris is a Catholic convert, husband, father, and craftsman who has made it his mission to counteract the ugliness of modern culture with beauty. This isn’t just a conversation about art. It’s about the Catholic man’s responsibility to stand guard over beauty, to resist counterfeit creativity like AI-generated “art,” and to recover the discipline and craftsmanship tha...

Men, do you ever feel like your faith and career are worlds apart? What if succeeding in business could actually lead you to sainthood?

Men, are you ready to transform your life by embracing the virtue that unlocks God’s grace? From the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr.

Dom unpacks how humility shapes every aspect of our lives; work, family, and faith. He challenges you to pray daily, “Lord, humble me today,” to see reality through God’s eyes and break free fr...

Struggling with pornography? You're not alone. It is a battle many Catholic men face in silence, but there's real hope in community, faith, and understanding the root causes. In this episode of The Manly Catholic, I sit down with Chandler Rogers, co-founder and CEO of Relay, a tech platform designed to help men overcome porn addiction through connection and structured support. Chandler shares his personal journey from hidden shame to freedom, revealing how porn isn't just a "sin problem" but of...

Men, we are in a fight. The world is trying to strip us of our faith, silence our voices, and make us conform. But the truth is this: Christ has already won. From the 20th Sunday in OT, Fr. Dom shares his recent experiences on pilgrimage, ministry, and the frontlines of the faith. You’ll hear about the authentic pilgrimage through Italy walking in the footsteps of St. Francis and St. Clare, the power of worshipping with 1.1 million young Catholics at a youth rally with the Holy Father, and the ...

The Feast of the Assumption is not a quaint Catholic tradition. Mary, the New Eve, was taken body and soul into Heaven, preserved from corruption, crowned in glory, and placed beside her Son as Queen. This truth is not optional for us as Catholic men. It is a dogma of the Church. And it is a challenge. Fr. Dom takes you deep into the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Drawing from Scripture, the early Church Fathers, and Pope Pius XII’s declaration of the dogma in 1950, he unpacks why this ...

Men, the battle is here. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jared Staudt from Exodus 90 to issue a bold call: prepare for spiritual war through St. Michael’s Lent, starting August 15th. Your marching orders have arrived.

Learn why this penitential season is critical for men today, how the Exodus 90 team has structure...

Imagine a world without rules. No stoplights. No order. No boundaries. Just chaos. That’s exactly what Satan wants: not just in the world but in your soul. From the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Dom breaks open the Gospel of the Good Samaritan in a way you’ve never heard before. This isn’t a sentimental message about “being nice.” It’s a battle cry for Catholic men to return to order and to recognize the Savior who comes not only with mercy but with discipline and authority. Jesus is not ju...

Men...this is your wake-up call. In this solemn Corpus Christi message, Fr. Dom lays down a spiritual gauntlet for every Catholic man. Drawing from John 6, the chilling testimony of a former Satanist, and undeniable Eucharistic miracles verified by secular science, this episode is a gripping challenge to rise, believe, and live as if the Eucharist truly is what Christ said it is. Fr. Dom dives headfirst into the mystery and reality of the Holy Eucharist, the beating heart of our faith—and the ...

Most Catholic men can recite the Sign of the Cross in their sleep. But do we truly grasp what we’re invoking every time we say those words? Fr. Dom cuts through the confusion and calls Catholic men to stand firm in one of the most attacked and misunderstood dogmas of our faith: the Most Holy Trinity. From Scripture to heresy, from the Catechism to the Creed, this episode dives deep into why the Trinity is not just a theological concept—but the very heart of Christian manhood. We walk through s...

To take spiritual warfare seriously. To stop blaming everyone else and st...

Men, are you just clocking in, or are you building the Kingdom of God through your work? In this powerful second part of our Daily Grind with God series, we confront the real battle most of us fight every day, the temptation to see our jobs as a burden instead of a mission. Whether at a desk, in the trades, on the road, or at home with the kids, your work matters to God. This is the truth grounded in Scripture and the Catechism. In Colossians 3:23, St. Paul commands us: "Whatever you do, work a...
