Music has a way of telling the deepest things about God and religion. But most popular music tears down God and religion. How did grief turn one man into a songwriter who describes what it’s really like to know God?     This week on “The Bear Woznick Adventure,” I talk with alt-rock singer/songwriter Andy Gallagher, whose music I’m using for the next season of the “Long Ride Home.” We discuss what makes music so powerful and the extraordinary men who influenced Andy’s music and faith. We also explore the name of his band and what it means for all the men out there whose lives need an overhaul.    Tune in to meet the man behind the music!

“You are what you eat.” We’ve all heard that phrase. And while it’s certainly true on the level of our physical health, did you know that it’s equally true of the spiritual life?   In this week’s episode of the Bear Woznick Adventure, Bear is joined by Dr. John Oertle—Chief Medical Officer and co-founder of Solidarity HealthShare, and Bear’s personal fitness expert.   Together they’ll discuss the importance of gut health, Bear’s recovery from the effects of radiation treatment, and the role of the Eucharist in our spiritual health.

Memento Mori — Remember your death. This saying has helped monks and nuns throughout the ages stay focused on their ultimate end.

You and I are living in an epic season of the history of God. When you know how to read the signs, you can easily see that there’s a tidal wave of God’s power and glory approaching the shore. Are you ready to go out and meet that wave? In this episode of the Bear Woznick Adventure, I’m joined by Mike Aquilina — Early Church expert and one of our most popular guests on the show. Together we’re going to discuss: How the Early Church faced pandemics, persecutions, and wars, and how their example can help us overcome similar adversities How you and I ought to be preparing for the coming tidal wave of God’s power and glory (HINT: It’s not complicated.) How the Early Church met a similar wave of God’s glory, and what they did to prepare for it Why Mike’s favorite document from the Early Church is a novel (you read that right!) And much more…

Today I’m pumped to be joined by Matt Swaim! Matt drags me out of bed at 12:30 every morning to appear on his show for just five minutes. Now I get him for a full 45 minutes. Matt is a convert to Catholicism. He’s a prominent figure on Catholic radio, co-host of the Son Rise Morning Show and contributor to the Coming Home Network. He’s also a diehard Cincinnati Reds fan, but we can forgive him for that. (Go Dodgers!) Together we’re going to talk about: Why, aside from tandem surfing, baseball is the most Catholic sportHow the Church gives you all the tools to become a saint and how each saint applies those tools differently when they “step up to the plate”Why practice doesn’t make perfect and what you need to do to create your perfect practiceHow studying the plays of the “veterans” helps you improve your game on the field and in CatholicismWhy fiction authors sometimes make better evangelists than professional theologians.

The Church needs a mighty band of dedicated men willing to protect Her, drive out the demonic forces and shine the light of the Gospel into the darkness around us. In this week’s episode of The Bear Woznick Adventure, Bear is joined by Kevin Philip, a leader in the Men’s Movement in Regina, Saskatchewan. Together they’ll talk about how God is forming His dedicated band of men — Gideon’s Army — today!

If you aspire to serve the Lord, prepare yourself for an ordeal…. [For] the chosen man is proven in the furnace of much affliction. (Sirach 2:1, 5) Living Christian manhood today is countercultural. It’s challenging. It’s a struggle. But it’s vital for the future of our young men! Are you up to the task? Join Bear and Vincent Roberts — creator of the exciting new podcast “Out of the Cave” — as we discuss how important it is for men today to bear cheerful witness to the joy and the struggle of living the Gospel.

Society has placed us on a spectrum of manliness that ranges from chauvinistic to genderless. What does it mean to be a real man today?

You hear a lot of stories about people finding Christ and redirecting their lives to honor Him. Karlo Broussard has one of those amazing stories. Karlo was an aspiring musician in his native Louisiana when he encountered Christ in the presence of the Eucharist. That was all she wrote. Today on our show, Karlo talks about his encounter with Christ, his answers to the familiar Protestant question, “Where is that in the Bible?” and his explanation of common misunderstandings that Protestants have about Catholicism. Join us for a great discussion.

Surfing priest Father Don Calloway talks about Saint Joseph the Terror of Demons as a role model who challenges, and by his intercessions, helps men. Find out what we can learn about being a father and spiritual head of our households from Saint Joseph.

What can sports teach you about your faith journey? St. Paul used several sports metaphors to teach us about the kind of effort it takes to live as faithful Catholic men. We have to “pommel our bodies,” “run so as to win,” and “fight the good fight.” Today I’m joined by Bruce Wawrzyniak—host of Catholic Sports Radio. Together, we’ll shed some light on your faith journey by taking a close look at the discipline, teamwork, victories and defeats involved in sports.

Atheism is gaining popularity every day. Although you and I know the atheistic worldview is ultimately untenable, we often feel ill-equipped to counter atheist arguments. That’s why I’m so excited to be joined by best-selling author Dr. Peter Kreeft! In this episode, Peter and I tackle the difficult task of responding to militant atheist objections to the existence of God and the truth of the Catholic Faith. You’ll definitely want to check this out!

Do you struggle with an Elijah Complex… “Woe is me. I’m the only one left who is faithful to the Lord.” You’re not alone! God has always worked His wonders through a small remnant who remained faithful to Him. Your task is simply to seek out that small remnant in your life. In this episode, I’m joined by the great CPA and man of God, Mike Chadwick. Mike is an incredible witness to manly spirituality. As a founder of Men of Christ — the largest Catholic men’s conference in North America — Mike reveals the secrets of how the Lord grew the “small remnant” in his life into an army of faithful men over 3,000 strong! 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.

What’s your role in this great adventure? Where do you fit into His-story? What part is God calling you to play in salvation history? Join Bear and Jeff Cavins as they talk about discovering your place in the Great Adventure by prayerfully reading and studying Scripture, understanding your life’s ultimate goal and learning what it means to craft your life as an “activated disciple.”

Every day you’re battling the biggest bully out there — the Devil and his legions. If you’re going to emerge victorious from this battle, you need the best spiritual armor, weaponry and battle plan available. You also need to know the tactics, maneuvers and weapons of your enemy. Join Bear and Jessie Romero as they talk about the harsh reality of spiritual combat, the subtle tactics the Devil uses to wear us down and defeat us, and the weapon that’s the spiritual equivalent to dropping an atomic bomb on the Devil — HINT: If you just thought “the Rosary,” you’re wrong!

Abuse is a tough thing. Many experience it, yet few talk about it. Father wounds are a deficiency of love. Bob Kroll shares his story of how he learned from his own experience and what you can do to be a loving father.

It's not easy...following the Lord, but sometimes we just have to do it. There comes a time that each of us must seek the truth, step out in faith, and hold on for the ride. Listen in as Peter Bond, owner of Regina Cigars, and Bear talk about the fear and thrill of listening to God's call. Learn more about Regina Cigars at https://www.reginacigars.com

A war rages all around us. We are engaged in a spiritual battle like no other. 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.

Augustine said the truth is like a lion and it will defend itself. This easiest thing we need to do is explain our faith. There is nothing to argue about because it IS the truth. David Dawson took the brave leap to start a Catholic radio station so he could have a vehicle to proclaim the truth. Hear about hi journey on this week’s show.

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.

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.

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. When it does this it does not come into a culture and destroy it, it seeks out the beauty of those cultures and integrates their practices with the Catholic faith. One example is the Native American practice of sweats.

Judo is a form of martial arts that uses your opponent’s momentum and energy against them. Did you know that Jesus’ style of teaching was a lot like a Judo master?

On this week's show, Bear and David Bates, blogger at The Restless Pilgrim, show you how to gently push back and fill the God-shaped hole in each of us.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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/
