The Bear Woznick Adventure

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? And how can we mentor our sons into an authentic, Christ-like manliness? Join Bear, Fr. Sinclair Oubre and Andy Sonnier — organizers of the “Christ in You Men’s Conference” — as we tackle this crisis and offer some practical ways to start moving back toward an authentic and gritty manliness.

If you're not physically healthy, how can you fulfill God's mission for you? Bear and Dr. John Oertle break down the importance of taking good care of your body so you can take the best care of your soul.

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 C

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.

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.
