The world today is like a ship with no anchor—adrift, lost, and tossed around by every new idea that comes along. We’ve abandoned truth, rewritten reality, and now we’re paying the price. Anxiety, confusion, and chaos are everywhere because we’ve got nothing solid to hold onto.That’s why Bobby Angel is here. His book, The Postmodern Predicament, tackles the big question: How did we get so lost, and how do we find our way back? We talk about why the world feels so unstable, how throwing out faith and reason led to this mess, and why beauty, truth, and tradition are the way forward.Bobby shares his own story—firefighter, seminarian, husband, father—and how wrestling with God’s plan led him exactly where he was meant to be. We break down the lies of postmodernism, the crisis of identity in today’s culture, and how to stand firm in a world that keeps shifting.If you’re tired of drifting and ready to drop anchor in something real, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m joined by the great CPA and man of God, Mike Chadwick. Mike is an incredible witness to manly spirituality.

Buckle up because things get gritty! Mike shares his struggle to face his own mortality when confronted with a life-threatening illness. He talks about the impact of having faithful Catholic men in his life. And he shares the freedom he experienced when he was finally released from the grip of “careerism” holding so many men today.

The Church at large fell into great error…. Many in the hierarchy were morally compromised. Many were too cowardly to stand up for the Truth. Many were just flat-out corrupt. Political intrigue abounded within the ranks of the hierarchy…. Good bishops were marginalized, sidelined and even forced into hiding. Sound Catholic doctrine seemed to be abandoned wholesale for a new “revolution” in doctrine. The entire Church seemed on the verge of collapsing. If you think I’m talking about the Church of today, think again! This was the state of the Church back in the 3rd Century  during the Arian crisis! To quote a famous sci-fi show, “This has all happened before. And it will all happen again.” If history is repeating itself, we need to be prepared for the fight to come. In today’s episode of The Bear Woznick Adventure, Fr. Mark Goring and I talk about today’s crisis in the Church and what you and I should be doing to fight back against the worldly errors, corruption and dark forces that have crept into the Church.

I often share my testimony of my return to the Catholic faith. This week Keith Nester joins me and we have a great discussion about both of our conversions. Keith was raised a United Methodist pastors kid and became a pastor himself. As he became more engaged in his faith he encountered a number of Catholics who showed him the true beauty of the Catholic faith. Keith became inundated with books, videos, and other material that simply blew his mind. Catholicism got him and he eventually converted to the Catholic faith. Once he abandoned himself he was locked into that wave, ready for the ride of his life. I love this guy and can’t wait for you to hear how he has totally sold out his heart for Jesus!

Do you realize every one of us is meant to have a personal relationship with Jesus? I get it….life gets  a little uncomfortable, it doesn’t seem to fit, we take ourselves too seriously and we end up missing out on the simplicity of what it means to give our lives to Jesus and experience the infusion of his love and his truth. My Cajun friend, Karlo Broussard, joins me this week to discuss how to be in the world…..but not of the world. We need to learn how to properly order our goods in our lives. Let me tell you, pleasure and material goods will not last forever. Remember memento mori. We are going to die. We must ensure we possess the ultimate good. One that never will pass…a relationship with God.

This week I welcome back Long Ride Home cast member Grady Dyke. Grady never realized a simple ride to the Big Bend with a group of Catholic men would turn into something greater.

Join Grady and I while we share our experiences on Long Ride Home as we prepare to release Season 2 in October.

You've probably heard people talk about hearing this small voice. I bet you've wondered how exactly do we hear that still small voice within each of us? We have to be quiet. Life requires us to step out in faith and see where God leads us. We may not know what is beyond the horizon but it is worth the ride. This week Long Ride Home cast member Tony Orband and I reflect upon the challenges and triumphs of seasons one and two as we prepared to film the third season of Long Ride Home.

I have great admiration for those with the entrepreneurial spirit who use their skills to evangelize. Robert Tunmire is one of those people and his journey is incredible.

But that all changed when after wondering in the desert for 40 years Robert found God. You are going to have to tune in to hear what happened to Robert over a 72 hour business trip that set him on the path to God eventually landing him in the Catholic faith evangelizing men.

Boy do I have a story to share with you this episode! The Church is big and as it has grown it has encountered various cultures and practices.

It requires them to protect the common good, be leaders, be providers and how to live those principles out as husbands and fathers.

This week Bear gets real with a mailbag show. How can men develop a vibrant parish? Why can’t we keep teens in the Church? How can men lead in marriage with Natural Family Planning? How do we deal with the epidemic of ography? Listen in as Bear answers these questions and more as submitted by listeners. Frequent guest Bill Snyder “emcees” the show and adds to the discussion. You won’t want to miss this episode!

The Lord asks that we step out in faith to do His will.....daily! It's not enough to be  a passive fan you MUST be a follower to change the world. Every situation in life can be an opportunity to witness to Christ. From the office to a three thousand mile bike ride you have opportunities to evangelize. Jeff Cavins and Bear Woznick discuss situational evangelization. You have to have some courage to get out of the boat and walk on water. THAT is the great adventure.

Men need to be more aware of the spiritual battle raging all around us. They must be better prepared for it and be more engaged in this spiritual fight. Join Bear Woznick as he and Doug Barry talk about the physical, mental and emotional aspects that must go into this fight and how we can grow as faithful Catholics.

Why spend time with Mary? Why not go right to the Lord? What is Mary’s role in our lives? She is the Queen Mother of the King our Lord Jesus Christ and he will do whatever she asks of him. Sometimes we need to set down our rosaries and have a heart to heart talk with Our Lady in good times and bad. Father Don Calloway and Bear discuss how to develop a sweeter intimacy with Mary.

They say you judge a tree by its fruit. Man is the tree and the fruit are the virtues we manifest in our lives. We live a full life when we incorporate those virtues into our daily lives. Tom Equels and Bear discuss how we learn the mastery of virtues through our failures and how this in turn builds us into better men.

Wasting time can be a good thing if you're "wasting" it on the Lord. People think it’s not productive to pray but it’s the most productive part of your day. If you’re not getting up in time to spend an hour with the Lord then you've wasted something.....an entire day! Join Gary Zimak and Bear as they talk about “wasting time” with the Lord. This is hard for men but we need him to strengthen us and that is not wasted time at all!

It’s war. What will be your weapon of choice? On this week’s show, Bear talks with Tom Sullivan, creator of the Warrior Rosary, about the power of the rosary, the impact it has had on Bear’s own life, and the martyrs that influenced the creation of the Warrior Rosary.

Every day is an adventure with the Lord that requires us to step out to do His will. You can't be a fan, you have to be a follower to change the world. Jeff Cavins is a teacher, evangelist, and a biker. He and Bear discuss being situationally aware and looking for opportunities to evangelize. On vacation, in the office, at the gas station, at restaurants, down the street with your neighbor, on a three thousand mile bike ride......every moment that God gives you is an opportunity to be a witness to Christ. Ask yourself, would Jesus ignore this situation? You are the body of Christ. You have to have some courage to get out of the boat and walk on water. THAT is the great adventure.

The real fake news today are the anti-Catholic myths out there. Steve Weidenkopf is the author of The Real Story of the Catholic Church. Steve and Bear Woznick discuss and provide tools on how to refute and debunk the myths so the real story of the Church can shine through.

It’s unfortunate that Catholic social teaching is presented as if you need to be an intellectual to grasp it’s meaning. This is simply not true. In its simplest form every human person deserves full legal protection from violence. One sign of this is helping your neighbor when they are suffering. Listen this week as Jason Jones returns and he and Bear discuss the fundamentals of Catholic social justice.

Long Ride Home cast member Jason Jones joins Bear Woznick to talk about stepping out, leaving fear behind, and pursuing your dreams.  Jason’s mission has always been to promote the incomparable dignity of the human person and to protect the vulnerable from violence. But what drew Jason Jones to become such a strong pro-life advocate? Bear and Jason talk story about the abortion battle that chose him.

Greg Dougherty rode from Miami to New York to celebrate the Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima……..in a row boat! He had never rowed that far solo before. The trip was a lesson in fortitude as Greg faced adversity head on throughout his trip. Listen as Bear and Greg talk story about overcoming adversity, the power of prayer, and meeting goals stroke by stroke by trusting in God’s strength and not our own. Learn more about Greg’s journey at Rowing4Fatima.com.

The younger generation is living a Catholic lifestyle, which is counter-cultural, and swimming upstream. Sam Guzman has led the charge and fostered a healthy rebellion against the status quo at his website TheCatholicGentlemen.net. Join Sam and Bear as they strive to show an image of authentic catholic male spirituality. We can have fun, we can enjoy life and be 100% on fire for the faith. Yes, there’s trials, yes there’s difficulties but Christ is always with us.

Women are looking for men who will respect them and treat them with the dignity they deserve - men who will draw them closer to Christ. If you've ever doubted that, listen to Bear's discussion with Judy Keane, author of Single and Catholic, on this week's show. Find out how you can be masculine but NOT macho and become the spiritually alive man your wife has always wanted.

Evangelizing the world in the times of the Apostles was no easy task. Apostles traveled a lot of mileage and they didn’t have the convenience of a Harley Davidson motorcycle to do so.  If an Apostle wanted to go some great distance they had to get on a cargo ship and take a dangerous voyage. The food would be wretched and the sanitary conditions had much to be desired. By taking on this mission of evangelizing the world they were taking on a lot of risk. Mike Aquilina and Bear talk about the Apostles and their times on this week’s episode of the Bear Woznick Adventure.

The Lord has this gift called the expansion of time. He will provide you with the time to do it all. If you’re not getting up in time to spend an hour with the Lord you have wasted a day. Without the Lord, you make so many mistakes because you’re not hearing his voice. Your day is muddled, you’re not moving in his power, you’re not moving in his order, you’re missing your divine appointments that day, you’re busy, busy, busy. People think it’s not productive to pray but it’s the most productive part of your day. Don’t be afraid to “waste time” with the Lord. Just sit and be with Him. This is hard for men but we need him to strengthen us and that is not wasted time at all!

A fun, manly, episode where Adam Minihan and David Niles, the founders of The Catholic Man Show, compare and discuss man caves with Bear. Do you have a library in your man cave? How about TV time in your man cave? More importantly what is the role of TV in your own life? Perhaps, like Bear, your man cave is your prayer room. No matter how your man cave is outfitted it is your manly escape. Listen in and maybe get a few ideas for your own!

The best way to describe the experience of Long Ride Home is a group of men who become fox hole buddies during a war. Bear Woznick and Long Ride Home cast member Dan’l Markham talk story about the thrill, grit, and obstacles they encountered during the filming of Season One. Holy Spirit moments and opportunities to share the Gospel popped up left and right throughout filming that proved sometimes you just have to let go and let God.

In our times, we are so connected in every technological way but so disconnected in any inter-personal way. Today, there is a desire in men for authentic, manly, Godly relationships with authentic friends. The bridge that often helps make that happen is having a cigar over a campfire or in a cigar shop. Peter Bond is the founder of Regina Cigars and he and Bear talk about authentic male friendship. As GK Chesteron said, “The pint, the pipe and the cross go well together”.

Every day is an adventure with the Lord that requires us to step out to do His will. You can't be a fan, you have to be a follower to change the world. Jeff Cavins is a teacher, evangelist, and a biker. He and Bear discuss being situationally aware and looking for opportunities to evangelize. On vacation, in the office, at the gas station, at restaurants, down the street with your neighbor, on a three thousand mile bike ride......every moment that God gives you is an opportunity to be a witness to Christ. Ask yourself, would Jesus ignore this situation? You are the body of Christ. You have to have some courage to get out of the boat and walk on water. THAT is the great adventure.

Tired of, or confused by, what media and society THINKS your body image should be? John Aquaviva is the founder of Catholicbodyimage.com He takes the teachings of Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body and uses them to help people gain a deeper appreciation of their bodies. John steers people away from the image that TV and print tell people how they should look and turns them back to what their faith and the church say they should strive for.

Have you ever had this desire to go for a hike? Kevin Greaney did. He went for a little stroll on the famous Camino de Santiago and what he found on that journey was a DEEP relationship with Christ. His hike ended, his personal physical goal was reached, but his Catholic faith continues to grow to this day. Kevin serves as the Mission and Adventures Director for Creatio.org and this week he and Bear talk story about finding faith in the unexpected.

Bob “Ace” Bagley is the President of the national Knights of Columbus group “Knights on Bikes”. When Bob started riding bikes he found a brotherhood but he just felt that something was missing. Bob rationalized that with all the things he had done in his youth, that God had turned his back on him. All that changed after he appeared in court and after a two week wait he called to find out the decision. To his amazement they had no record of him ever appearing there. To him it was a sign of God reaching down and picking him up at his lowest moment. This event led to his conversion but the journey was not over, nor would it be easy. His witness story is one that must be heard.

MMA and UFC World Champion fighter, Bas Rutten, is as intense as a grizzly bear about his sport and about his faith. It takes discipline to become a successful athlete. How does that translate to one’s faith? How can an athlete take the practices they incorporate in training and maintaining physical fitness and then apply them to their spiritual life? Bas Rutten calls this a habit and when you have a bad habit you switch it to a good habit. The same applies to our faith. You don’t have time in your schedule for faith? Make time, make it a habit. Learn how on this week’s episode of Deep Adventure Radio.

Adam Henrichs Is the founder of Creatio, a group whose mission is to guide people to encounter the beauty of creation and the creator through outdoor adventure and service to the poor and environmental stewardship.

Does God have a desire for adventure? Adam tells how these questions can all be answered by stepping outside your door and experiencing God’s creation.

Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers is a real example of what a man should be. He has a real heart for the Lord and is constantly laying down his life for others. What does it take to be a real man? Don’t be a nice guy. Don’t be a macho guy. Be a good man. Be God’s man. Learn how to abandon yourself to the wildness of the reality of the adventure of a God who made black holes, incredible quasars and made YOU the highest and best of all his creation.

Long Ride Home cast member Lance "Doc" Maki was our wilderness doctor during the filming of both Seasons One and Two of Long Ride Home. He is a trained doctor and a necessary component of our Long Ride Home pack. Bear and Doc talk about the adversity faced during filming and the positives that came from their trials. The Holy Spirit caused each of the men on the ride to trust and know that God was there within their midst. Men need a test, they need to be challenged and called out. We are all called to be heroes and Jesus Christ is our greatest example of a hero. Tune in and learn how to be hero to those in your life.

Long Ride Home cast member Jay "Iron Man" Flunker surfs, rides motorcycles and is a Catholic evangelist. He is full of love for the Lord and has a deep desire to evangelize.    Bear and Jay recount how, during the filming of Season One, Jay had to split from the pack and  return 100 miles back to a Harley dealership for some repairs to his motorcycle. As Bear points out, the adventure starts at the detour. Jay’s trip to the Harley dealership turned into an evangelization mission, as he handed tracts out and talked Church with some fallen away Catholics.    God has given us all gifts and we are all evangelists of some fashion. Tune in for some tips on how to share the Gospel in unexpected circumstances.

He attended All Saints Catholic grade school and Bishop Kelley high school before studying finance at the University of Central Oklahoma. During his college years, while maintaining his Catholic identity, David stopped practicing his faith. It wasn’t until he was out of school and living with his lifelong friend and co-host, Adam Minihan, that he stumbled upon a Catholic Radio station and little-by-little began embracing his faith once again. It was listening to shows like Catholic Answers Live that began his relationship with apologetics and would eventually lead to him co-founding an apologetics group at his parish for those who had recently entered the Church. In 2014 David and Adam started a local Catholic radio station, St. Michael Radio, which is now broadcast over the entire city of Tulsa. Later that same year, by the grace of God, David convinced a gorgeous young saint named Pamela O’ Brien to marry him and they now have a 1 year old daughter named Elizabeth (who was kissed by Pope Francis!), and are expecting number 2 at the end of October.  http://www.stmichaelradio.com/catholic-man-show-bios/

DAR249 Fr. Tim McCormick interviews Bear Woznick

http://stmartha.com/people/fr-richard-mcneillie Inspiration for priesthood : I don't remember hearing the word "vocation" until college. At that time, I had some friends who were considering the priesthood. They used to ask me if I was being called, but it was kind of a joke since I was dating someone at the time. I had to take their question seriously a few years later when I went on a retreat. In one of the meditations I was asked to imagine myself sitting across from Jesus. Between us was a box with his plan for my life inside. I could try to imagine what my vocation was, the good and the bad that might have been inside, but I couldn't open the box. Instead, the goal was to trust Jesus, and say "yes" to whatever he had planned. I couldn't do it. At that point in my life, I realized that his plans were probably different from mine.  Months later, while in Houston for the Easter Triduum, the late Fr. John Weyer was reading out of the Diary of St. Faustina for the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday. Listening to that dialogue between St. Faustina and Jesus, I heard for the first time God telling me that he loved me. My life was never the same after that. I knew before that experience that God had something different in mind, but now I wanted that different something too. At the end of the day, my decision to become a priest was about desire.  After that Good Friday experience, I wanted to dedicate my life to God and to serving others, much like St. Faustina had done. It took me a while to trust that these desires were a gift from God, but once I did, I've tried to follow my heart as much as possible.

John has a bachelors degree in physics and an MBA from Ohio University.

John's website:  http://www.wildernessoutreach.net/about Wilderness Outreach calls men to live out an authentic Catholic, masculine lifestyle, one where men become the leaders, providers and protectors God created them to be. The organization was created to provide the formational, and developmental structure where all Catholic boys, men, laymen, seminarians and priests can discover, and develop thier God given manhood and lead the Catholic Church into the future. . Wilderness Outreach challenges men to embrace the theology of their masculine bodies on the physical, intellectual and spiritual levels, and therby fight for the inner integrity that God the Father calls them to. Wilderness Outreach recognizes that each man is called to leadership by developing his God given masculine desires and talents, and then living them in his mission and duty as Priest, Prophet and King.

Bear talks faith and story with Jason Craig, Director of Training and Program Development at Fraternus, a parish-based Catholic movement to help mentor boys to become virtuous Catholic men.  Here is the Philosophy of Fraternus: “The youth of today need fathers. They need men who will step into their lives and lead them to the Truth we all long for. They need a few less interesting people in their lives, and one who is a little more interested. Youth ministry as we know it today is a response to the breakdown of the family, arguably the role of the father. However, rather than  addressing  symptoms, Fraternus deals with a root issue – fatherlessness. Fraternus equips and inspires men to do what only they can do – be spiritual fathers and mentors to the boys in their life.  Every man has what it takes, but not every man had a True Mentor as a boy. This is where the Fraternus programming, training and support take a man who is willing, faithful and Catholic and form him into a True Mentor which in return causes an entire transformation in a family, community and the culture.” If you want to get fired up about Fraternus, watch this video.  Wow. http://youtu.be/dQY-PBF6Yh0 - See more at: http://www.newemangelization.com/uncategorized/a-discussion-with-jason-craig-fraternus-building-catholic-boys-into-virtuous-catholic-men

Matthew James Christoff is a convert and was accepted into the Catholic Church in 2006.  Prior to his conversion, he was a pluralist, believing that all religions had truth but no single religion had the “Truth.”  In the midst of a life-threatening battle with cancer, Matthew had a series of encounters with Jesus Christ that eventually led him to the Catholic Church. - See more at: http://www.newemangelization.com/about-matthew-james-christoff The New Emangelization Project urgency is driven by this idea:  There can be no New Evangelization without a New Emangelization, creating generations of Catholic men who are on fire for Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church. - See more at: http://www.newemangelization.com/about-matthew-james-christoff/#sthash.zPH7aZCO.dpuf

Adrianne graduated from the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. In her early career, she focused on classical and sacred music. She and her husband, Thom, left Cincinnati and moved to Los Angeles to follow their careers. As a singer, actress, and voice-over artist, she also worked behind the camera in the production of made-for-TV films, TV commercials and industrial films. While in LA, Adrianne sang under the direction of Gregorian chant master, Dr. Paul Salamunovich. Sadly, severe vocal nodules plagued her for many years, which kept her from a full-time singing career. Miraculously, she was healed of her nodules in 1998. Since then, she has been giving thanks to God for her healing by singing only sacred music. As a soloist, she appears frequently on EWTN Global Catholic Television Network. She has been a cantor/soloist for many years while living in Cincinnati, LA, Minneapolis, and Birmingham, and sings for other Christian venues. Adrianne lives in the Birmingham, AL area with her husband Thom. They have one son, Spencer Thomas Joseph, and a small zoo of pets. Website:  http://adrianneprice.com/
