When God Interrupts: How a Ruined Plan Became a Mission
I walked out of church filled with peace—the real kind, the quiet strength that settles in your bones after receiving the Eucharist. Mass had been clear, consoling, grounding. I felt God with me.
Then the phone rang.
My ex-mother-in-law needed a ride to the hospital. No one else was stepping up. My co-parent didn’t take the lead. The expectation silently fell on me.
My first reaction? A very human, very honest:
"What the heck… why is this suddenly my job?"
But grace was larger than irritation. Something in me shifted from Why me? to Maybe this is mine because God is handing it to me.
When Stability Feels Like Loneliness: A Father’s Call in an Unstable Co-Parenting Season
There are seasons in a father’s life where the hardest battles are not loud, dramatic, or public. They happen quietly in the heart — when the people we depend on become unpredictable, and the responsibility for our children falls suddenly, heavily, into our hands.
This past week was one of those seasons.
When Suffering, Justice, and God’s Heart Finally Make Sense
For a long time, I struggled with the same question many people carry quietly in their hearts:
If God is real, why is there so much suffering? Why does He allow injustice? Why doesn’t He stop it?
This question is not intellectual — it is emotional.
It breaks marriages.
It shakes faith.
It keeps people far from God because they fear a God who feels distant, passive, or cruel.
I carried that question, too. In fact, before I ever prayed for mercy, the first thing I ever prayed for was justice.
When Peace Feels Strange: Learning to Live in the Grace God Sends
The other day I stepped back and realized something unusual was happening in my home.
No yelling.
No tension.
No slammed doors.
My son did his homework without pushback.
Bath time didn’t turn into a wrestling match.
Even my co-parent apologized about the ladder issue — something I didn’t expect but quietly thanked God for.
And the strangest part?
I wasn’t fighting for this peace. It just… came.
Learning Humility from the Humblest of God’s Creatures:
In every generation, men wrestle with the same tension:
-How do I grow strong without growing proud?
-How do I lead without becoming self-absorbed?
-How do I honor God without secretly thinking I can do life on my own?
The Catholic answer begins — unexpectedly for many men — with a woman. Not just any woman. The humblest of God’s creatures: Mary, the Mother of the Lord.
Why Catholics Should Be Wary of Father Joseph Iannuzzi’s “Exotheology”
I used to regularly watch Fr. Joseph Iannuzzi — a priest whose teachings initially seemed deeply spiritual, theological, and even intellectually provocative. But over time, his focus shifted: he began discussing space aliens, 2 antichrists, and a literal 1,000-year peace. As someone who just completed a serious study of Revelation, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy. My biblical and theological training told me that many claims he makes — especially around the “1,000 years” — are symbolic, not literal. That prompted me to look deeper into his work, and I found a disturbing analysis from Monokosmos that raises serious questions about his academic integrity, his use of authority, and the theological soundness of his teachings.
