The Catholic Gentleman Podcast

What does it take to become a man of clarity, courage, and spiritual fire in a world that wants you passive, distracted, and numb? Today, John Heinen welcomes Fr. Boniface Hicks—Benedictine monk, spiritual director, and author. For over 20 years, Fr. Boniface has guided men through spiritual warfare, identity crises, and the hidden wounds that keep them from living as sons of God.

In this powerful conversation, he exposes why so many men today are stuck in fear and confusion—and how the ancient Rule of St. Benedict offers a blueprint for order, purpose, and peace. He goes into the misunderstood power of anger, the role of Marian devotion in masculine healing, and what it actually means to “earn” headship in your family and vocation.

Fr. Boniface shares hard-won wisdom from the monastery, the confessional, and the battlefield of the soul.

Every man fights invisible battles—fear, self-doubt, shame, and the lies he tells himself over and over about who he is and what he is good at. In this episode, John Heinen sits down with Devin Schadt to expose the real front line of spiritual warfare and personal growth: your thoughts.

Together, they unpack how negative thinking becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, why social media magnifies feelings of inadequacy, and how unchecked mental habits shrink your brain and strangle your soul. With raw honesty and practical wisdom, John and Devin walk through a three-step battle plan rooted in Scripture and backed by neuroscience-to help you take control of your thoughts, hold them captive, and experience the freedom, success, and joy God intends for your life.

As Devin says, “The very fact that those thoughts make you feel bad… is proof that you’re good.” This episode will equip you to stop living in fear and start thinking with clarity, truth, and power.

Men grow up with emotions they can't understand or explain—impatience, anger, frustration, even loneliness or sadness—and because they lack the framework for how to work with these emotions they are ultimately controlled by them. In this episode, John Heinen sits down with T.K. Coleman—top 100 podcaster (The Minimalists) and author of Emotional Clutter—to expose the quiet war within: a spiritual battle fought not with swords, but with unprocessed emotions and buried beliefs.

Together they unpack why suppressing emotion doesn’t make you strong—it makes you weak and immature. Learn why reclaiming your inner life is essential to leading your outer one. This isn’t self-help fluff. It’s a battle plan for men who want clarity, freedom, and spiritual firepower in a distracted world.



We also discuss our thoughts on Pope Leo XIV.

What happens when more boys have smartphones than fathers in their homes? A groundbreaking UK research study called 'Lost Boys' has revealed alarming trends about young men today. John Heinen and Devin Schadt welcome back three-time guest Jim O'Day to respond to and unpack this landmark research and its implications. Together, they examine how the critical absence of male role models—particularly fathers—is creating a generation of directionless young men. The conversation highlights shocking statistics: women in their 20s are consistently out-earning their male counterparts, and young men are afraid to talk to women. The trio explores how fatherlessness, education failures, technology addiction, pornography exposure, and society's ignoring of men are ruining the future of humanity. While secular solutions continue to fall short, John, Devin, and Jim present both immediate interventions and long-term approaches rooted in timeless Catholic wisdom. Don't miss this essential conversation about reclaiming authentic masculinity for the next generation.
