Just Do It: Fulton Sheen and the Mystery of Love

The Catholic Man Show

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, Adam and David wrestle with advice, masculinity, and the struggle for holiness. Drawing from the wisdom of Venerable Fulton Sheen, they explore the three causes of love, the mystery of prayer, and why real men must go beyond “average” to pursue heroic virtue. Along the way, they share stories of fraternity, marriage, business, and spiritual battles—and how the simple thought “Just do it” can transform your daily walk with Christ. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: * Why comparing yourself to the “average American man” sets the bar far too low * Fulton Sheen’s teaching on goodness, knowledge, and similarity as foundations of love * The tension between prayer as desire vs. prayer as duty * Why saints are extraordinary men and women who embrace heroic virtue * “Just do it” as a rule for the spiritual life, work, and family life * The role of suffering and sacrifice in becoming extraordinary * Practical wisdom on prayer, business, and discipline for Catholic men today * A special tasting of an 18-year Orphan Barrel bourbon whiskey * Updates on pilgrimages, the Catholic Rancho Campout, and more Key Quotes: * “Extraordinary men and women are saints because they have heroic virtue. Not just virtue—heroic virtue.” * “Ordinary does not call you to get up early, to sacrifice comfort, or to fight for your family. Heroic men do.” * “Sometimes, you just have to Nike up, bro. Just do it.”
