#691 A Simple Nativity Scene and the War for the Family
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” Recently, while walking through my neighborhood and looking at Christmas decorations, I came upon a simple Nativity scene. Nothing extravagant. Just Mary. Joseph. A child lying in straw. And it stopped me. Because that scene reveals something our culture is trying desperately to erase: God chose to enter the world through a family. Not through a system. Not through a state program. Not through a technological utopia. —and why the family remains ...

#690 Blessed Is The Day We "Got It Wrong": Marriage and Love With Costanza Miriano
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” Love isn’t a mood that lasts forever; it’s a mission that matures. We trace the arc from infatuation to mature love, explaining what happens when the early hormone rush fades and why that moment is the invitation to choose each other anew. Costanza reframes “submission” as surrendering the urge to fix your spouse and learning to love the person you actually married. We talk about original loneliness, the deep hunger for God at the center o...

#689 The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe: Finding Hope and Light In An Unhinged World
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” A late recording on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe turns into a fierce meditation on a world that feels unhinged and the mother who leads us to her Son. We trace a throughline from John’s Gospel and the order of creation to Juan Diego’s roses in winter and the tilma that sparked eight million conversions, then ask what those signs say about today’s battles over life, meaning, and the human person. Let's Pray together: O Virgin of Guada...

#688 Merry Christmas is Back! Thank You President Trump
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” Advent sharpens our memory and our courage, and that’s where we start: gratitude for the return of public faith and a renewed freedom to say Merry Christmas without apology. From there we move straight into the central question young people are asking in a noisy, anxious age: What is the truth, and how do I live it? We lay out the Claymore battle plan—recover your heart, restore marriage and family, and then rebuild culture—so purpose moves from...

#686 The Myth of “Gender-Affirming Care”: The HHS Just Exposed the Medical Scandal Against Our Children
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” Tom Hampson is with Jack to dig into the newly released HHS review of youth gender medicine and what it asserts about puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgery for minors.

#685 Electing Socialist Majors Across America Will Not Solve the Abuses of Unconstrained Capitalism: "The Third Way"
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” Feeling pressured to pick between Socialism and Capitalism? We challenge that trap and make a case for a third way that takes human dignity seriously, starts in the heart, and rebuilds culture from the ground up. We walk through why many young people gravitate toward socialism when family and schools fail them, and why unconstrained capitalism—when severed from God and moral law—leaves the soul hungry and communities brittle. Then we chart...

#683 Are You An Accident of History? Does Life Have Meaning and Purpose? What is the Truth of Things?
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” The root of the cultural chaos we are experiencing is a surrender of the Truth of things! Today Jack takes you inside a viral confrontation over women’s locker rooms, presses into why definitions matter for safety and law, and asks a harder question most debates skip: are we created with purpose and order, or are we accidents of history free to redefine reality on the fly? From that starting point, everything else follows—coherent p...

#682 Beauty Will Save the World! With Rocky Mountain Artist-Photographer and Author Erik Stensland
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” Beauty isn’t a filter on life; it’s a way to understand it, and ourselves. Jack sits down with Artist-photographer and author Erik Stensland to explore how a season of crushing burnout in the Balkans led him toward solitude, quiet attention, and a life reoriented by wonder in Rocky Mountain National Park. Together we unpack why silence feels unbearable at first, why many of us would rather hit the metaphorical shock button than face...

(CM #9) The Battlefield of the Heart! Directing Passions and Desires to a Love that is Beautiful!
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” What if the ache you feel isn’t a flaw to fix but a fire to aim? We open with the shocking power of eros—the sudden arrest of beauty, the pulse of attraction—and follow it to its true end: a life of self-gift that can heal hearts, families, and even a nation fraying at the seams. The story moves from a teenage moment of reverent awe to the Cross itself, where God’s desire for us becomes agape: “This is my body, given for you.” Along the way, we...

#680 Break Free From Problematic Sexual Behavior For Good, with Steve O'Connor
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” A hidden magazine in fifth grade. A dopamine hit. A secret that follows a boy into high school, dating, and marriage. That’s how our conversation starts, and from there we get honest about why porn isn’t just a bad habit—it’s a widespread, tech-fueled crisis that reshapes the brain, hollows out intimacy, and turns love into consumption. With coach and founder Steve O’Connor from Catholics Fight Porn, we unpack how a culture of access and silence...

#678 "What I Hope My Sons Will Learn From the Life of Charlie Kirk": with Carolyn McKinney
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” Start with the unpopular truth: the surest privilege isn’t race, money or status, it’s growing up with a married mom and dad who stay together. Then the shock of Charlie Kirk’s assassination... but it’s the two sided response that sheds light on where we are as a people—those who would celebrate the death of a loving husband and father to two young children on one side and the forgiveness, prayer, and resolve on the other—that reframes the...

#676 Climate Summits, Immigration debates, and Confusion over Life: A Papal Headache w Phil Lawler
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” Headlines say one thing, moral logic says another. We sat down with Phil Lawler to unpack the storm around a lifetime award for Senator Dick Durbin, the so-called “consistent ethic of life,” climate pageantry, and immigration debates—and to draw bright lines between intrinsic evils and prudential judgments. If you’ve felt whiplash from Vatican sound bites, this conversation gives you a filter: read statements carefully, rank issues rightly, and ...

We follow that question from the Gospel of the rich young man into the very real struggles of modern life—noise, distraction, and the hunger to be seen—and then further into a surprising WWII encounter with Padre Pio that ignites a forgotten calling. We share Act 7 of the Claymore Battle Plan, a simple, repeatable path for young men (and anyone who loves them) to...

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” Let’s be honest: the internet rewards outrage, not holiness. We wanted to cut through the noise and ask a harder question—what does it take to share the faith without losing your soul? With Bobby Frederickson (The Catholic Couple, Purposely Catholic), we dig into the quiet practices and gritty virtues that turn zeal into steady witness: daily silence, repentance when pride flares, and a home life that looks like love in action.
