Fortitude and Failure is a deeply reflective and spiritually rich exploration of King David’s life, examining his rise from humble shepherd to revered king, and the moral and spiritual lessons embedded in his triumphs and failures. Drawing from biblical narratives, the book highlights David’s courage, faith, and poetic devotion, while also confronting his impulsivity, lust, and moral lapses—especially in his relationships and leadership. Through David’s story, I invite readers to examine their own hearts, emphasizing the importance of humility, integrity, patience, and the pursuit of holiness. The book also critiques the dangers of pride, revenge, and hypocrisy, offering practical wisdom on parenting, leadership, and spiritual growth. With reflection questions and theological insights, it encourages readers to seek God’s guidance, embrace virtuous living, and finish life’s journey with faithfulness and grace.

Many of us struggle with the idea of how to have the greatest impact with our lives. In this episode, we discuss the relationship and tension between knowledge and contentment, as well as how to make a difference.

In this episode, I explore the truth that our senses remain unsatisfied until they are directed toward God. I reflect on why God created us and how our loving Father fulfills our deepest longing. Drawing from Scripture and the Catechism, I explore the meaning of true contentment.

In this episode, we discuss Thomas á Kempis' idea that caring only for our present moments and pursuing riches, acclaim, and advancement is only foolishness.

In this episode, we discuss Aquinas' definition of humility as well as how we live that out in our workplaces, our churches, our families, and every other relationship that we have.

What are the ways that Christ teaches us how to live and who to be? This episode will explore the many ways in which God speaks and also the reasons why we struggle to hear God.

How do we model our lives after Christ's life? In this podcast, we go through the work "The Imitation of Christ" by Thomas á Kempis and apply it to life in the 21st century. In this episode, we will explore how to train our minds as part of living the life God is calling us to life.

"The Imitation of Christ" by Thomas à Kempis was written by a monk to fellow monks, challenging them to follow Christ through all the difficulties of life. While most of us aren't monks (I'm not), this work challenges us in extremely practical ways to examine every aspect of our life. In this podcast, I take the Knox translation of the Imitation and apply it to our lives now in the 21st century.
