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 at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men." When you live this out, even the most mundane spreadsheet becomes an offering. Even changing diapers becomes an altar.

This episode dives into:

• How your job is part of your divine vocation (CCC 2427)
• Why St. Joseph, St. Therese of Lisieux, and St. Josemaría Escrivá are your daily companions in the grind
• How to turn every workday into a prayer through intention, rededication, and excellence
• The real danger of turning work into your god—or treating it like it’s meaningless
• And most importantly, the spiritual challenge I give every man listening: Offer your work this week as a sacrifice for a specific intention

It’s time to stop coasting. Get intentional. Sanctify your labor. You don’t need to change careers—you need to change your heart.

3 POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:

1. “Your desk, your tools, your kitchen—that is your battlefield.”
2. “God doesn’t want your sloppy seconds. He wants your best.”
3. “Are you working for God, or are you working for yourself?”

KEY TAKEAWAY FOR CATHOLIC MEN:

Start offering your work every single day for a specific intention—your spouse, your kids, your priest, the souls in purgatory. Make your labor a prayer. This is your battlefield. Fight with purpose.

SHARE THIS EPISODE Men, we are in a war—and most of us are losing the battle in the workplace by treating our job like it’s separate from our faith. Forward this to a brother who’s stuck in a rut, burned out, or tempted to check out. We need soldiers—not spectators.

What if I told you the battle for your soul starts the moment your eyes open?

In this kickoff to our Daily Grind with God series, we challenge Catholic men to reclaim their mornings through the ancient spiritual weapon of the Morning Offering. This isn’t about adding another item to your to-do list but about performing a simple act to start your day that can change everything. The world wants your attention from the second you wake up. So does God. Who gets your first thought?

In this episode, we talk:

• How a simple prayer transforms chaos into mission
• What the Catechism and saints like St. Josemaría Escrivá and St. John Paul II say about sanctifying daily life
• Why your morning routine determines whether you're leading your family—or being led by the noise
• How even one intentional prayer can rewire your day and sharpen your focus

I walk you through the traditional Morning Offering and share flexible ways to make it your own—no excuses. I also challenge every man listening: Plant your flag for Christ the moment your day begins.

Stop surviving your mornings. Start owning them—for Him.

3 POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:

1. “Are you man enough to start your day with God? Or are you letting the world set your agenda?”
2. “Plant your flag for Christ—before your feet even hit the floor.”
3. “Your morning offering turns your daily grind into a mission for God's Kingdom.”

KEY TAKEAWAY FOR CATHOLIC MEN:

Make a Morning Offering every day this week before you do anything else. Offer it for a specific intention: your wife, your kids, your priest, the souls in purgatory. Begin your battle with God at your side.

REFERENCES & RESOURCES MENTIONED:

• Traditional Morning Offering Prayer
• Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2634 and 898
• Psalm 5:3 — “In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice…”
• St. Josemaría Escrivá — Living daily life for God
• St. Francis de Sales — Preparing the soul for peace each morning
• St. Pope John Paul II — “Do not be afraid to be saints”
• Prayer to your Guardian Angel to attend Mass on your behalf (Link in show notes)
• Archbishop Athanasius Schneider’s prayer for the conclave
• Mention of Cardinal Robert Sarah as a personal papal hopeful

Does Christ’s Resurrection ignite your soul? In this Easter Sunday homily, Fr. Dom proclaims the victory of Jesus over death: a real, historical event that demands you live differently. From the empty tomb to the Shroud of Turin’s mysterious radiation, Fr. Dom reveals the Resurrection’s power and challenges you to embrace it every day. Be a warrior for Christ: let the Eucharist transform you and build God’s kingdom.

Powerful Quotes from the Homily:

1. “Every day is a resurrection day. Every day is full of joy and peace and gladness if you want it.”
2. “What we celebrate here is Jesus Christ conquering death that has a grip on our soul.”
3. “The image found is limited to the very topmost fibers suggesting that radiation was involved in its creation.”

Key Takeaway for Men:
Embrace the resurrection daily by receiving the Eucharist and letting Christ transform your heart, mind, and body to build His kingdom with zeal and courage.
