Ep. 79 Prayer: The Heart of Catholic Masculinity

In this powerful conversation, BT and Mike Pacer dive deep into the soul of prayer and the essential role it plays in the lives of men today.Drawing from Mike’s remarkable journey—from a successful career in law to a life devoted to ministry—they explore how faith is tested by doubt, reshaped by challenge, and ultimately reclaimed through the power of prayer.Together, they discuss the vital balance between personal devotion and communal worship, the spiritual battle every man faces, and the societal forces that threaten to pull hearts away from God.They shine a light on the urgent need for men to rise up as spiritual leaders—fathers, brothers, and sons—grounded in prayer and committed to nurturing faith within their families.Through stories, insights, and practical steps, BT and Mike offer a roadmap for strengthening your prayer life, standing firm against spiritual warfare, and finding comfort and courage in even the darkest moments.This isn’t just a conversation about prayer. It’s a call to arms for men to reclaim their God-given role—with strength, humility, and an unwavering spirit.Links:Ignatius Press: Mike's author pageReel Chapters08:54 The Importance of Prayer in Men's Lives12:01 From Lawyer to Ministry: A Journey of Faith15:04 Overcoming Doubt: Trusting God's Call18:07 The Role of Prayer in Catholic Masculinity20:46 Communal vs. Individual Prayer: Finding Balance24:00 The Power of Formulaic Prayers26:59 Reclaiming Masculinity Through Prayer31:21 Navigating Death and Spiritual Comfort36:17 The Power of Prayer in Difficult Times41:46 The Role of Fathers in Spiritual Leadership46:01 Understanding Spiritual Warfare52:16 Practical Steps for Strengthening Prayer Life57:29 Finding Hope in Suffering
