Embracing the Spirituality of St. Joseph | Devin Schadt | Episode #355
The BeatiDudes
Devin Schadt joins The BeatiDudes for a powerful conversation about conversion, marriage, fatherhood, and seeing life's trials through the eyes of faith. Devin shares the remarkable story of his conversion at age 24, when a life marked by selfishness, theft, broken relationships, and despair finally brought him to his knees in a Catholic church. That surrender eventually transformed not only Devin, but also the woman who would become his wife. Now an author of 25 books and founder of the Fathers of St. Joseph, Devin explains why the renewal of the Church and society begins in the home, with men learning to embrace the spirituality of St. Joseph and becoming the husbands and fathers their families need. The conversation becomes deeply personal as Devin tells Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein about his daughter Anna Marie, whose permanent brain injury became an unexpected turning point in his understanding of fatherhood. Devin describes moving from anger and resentment toward forgiveness, discovering that a father does not merely accept his children but actively chooses them: "I choose you. I want to be with you." He also shares the insight that changed the way he sees suffering: Anna Marie was not "in the way," but "a way to the Way." From his new book The Marriage Gap to the daily work of loving a spouse, choosing your children, and embracing hardship instead of fleeing from it, Devin offers a compelling reminder that authentic Catholic manhood is ultimately lived not on a stage or at a conference, but by going home and faithfully loving the people God has entrusted to you.
