  • 319: A Call to Arms for Authentic Catholic Men! (w/ Devin Schadt)
    Oct 22 2025

    In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my friend Devin Schadt founder of the Fathers of St. Joseph, to talk about the critical need for authentic Catholic men and what it means to practice your Catholic faith for husbands, fathers, and Catholic men everywhere.

    We talk about what it means to live an authentic Catholic life as a disciple, the role of humility (and pride!), and the real battle underway for the soul of each and every Catholic men – and why Satan hates Catholic men in particular!

    Plus, Devin shares some fantastic insights from his own personal journey.

    For more from Devin visit his website and check out his book The Rule: Counsels and Directives from Husbands and Fathers.

  • 318: Advice for New Catholics – And Old Catholics, Too! (w/ George Weigel)
    Oct 15 2025

    In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by the elder statesman of American Catholicism the one and only George Weigel. Author of countless award-winning books, a regular columnist and commentator, and an all-around completely reasonable and decent Catholic guy, George joins us the week with a kind of State of the Union, a medical exam, if you will, of the Catholic Church with an eye to helping those new to the faith and those looking at Catholicism from the outside understand what's happening in the Church today.

    We tackle ideas of the nature of the Church and disagreements in Catholicism, the outlook for the American Church with an American Pope at the helm, the idea of evangelization and what's missing from Catholic discipleship, and, in general, what new Catholics can expect when they convert – and they are converting in droves these days!

    George is a bit of a sage when it comes to understanding the Church and even though he calls me "Kevin" throughout he has a lot of good points to make and this ended up being an absolutely wonderful conversation.

    For more from George check out his website.

  • 317: The Conversion of an Anti-Catholic Pastor (w/ Barbara Heil)
    Oct 8 2025

    In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Barbara Heil a former Charismatic, Evangelical Ministry, Missionary, and Evangelist who heard the call of God – encountered Christ in a profound way – and became Catholic! This is an incredible story, buckle up!

    Barbara spent 30 years in what she called cutting-edge Evangelical ministry, always seeking to live on the margins of where God was calling her, her husband, and their thriving ministry, until she began to encounter Christ in the most unexpected places: through Catholic priest, the Mass, and in Catholic encounters!

    Barbara's story is one of those incredible journeys of someone who is seriously "sold out" for the Lord, encountering him in the least likely of places: the Catholic Church.

    For more from Barbara check out From His Heart Ministries and her book Journey Into His Heart: How the Holy Spirit Led Me Into the Catholic Church. You will not be disappointed!
