Official podcast of the Cristeros.
The Cristeros is a movement of faithful Catholic men committed to growing in relationship with God, strengthening their families, serving their parish, and standing together as brothers as missionary disciples in the world.
A Cristero is a Catholic man who lives his identity as a Brother of Christ the King, formed in prayer and rooted in true devotion to Jesus through Mary. Our spirituality comes from conversion and trust in God rather than self-reliance, and is formed by the Church’s rich patrimony and the great masters of the spiritual life.

¡Viva Cristo Rey y Santa María de Guadalupe!
A Catholic bishop who could outperform prime-time entertainment sounds like a myth, but Fulton Sheen was that kind of communicator, and his coming beatification is pushing a lot of us to ask a sharper question: what made him so effective, and what can we actually copy in our own spiritual life? I’m joined by Father Mitchell Brown, pastor of Sacred Heart Cathedral in Gallup, to dig into Sheen’s life, his influence, and the person behind the preaching. We talk about Sheen as a pioneer of moder...

The Odyssey (2026) - Cristeros Review
Nolan’s The Odyssey looks like a throwback to an era when blockbusters still built real worlds, then it hits you with choices that feel aggressively modern. We sit down with our director of tech, Brian Venegas, to argue through what the film nails on a technical level and where it breaks its own spell, from IMAX-scale spectacle and practical effects to the jarring choice of modern American accents and dialogue that keeps pulling us out of ancient Greece. The conversation turns into a real de...

Judas Proves Life is a Gift...From Conception!!
“It would be better for that man if he had never been born” might be the most misunderstood line in the Passion narrative. Patrick Mason sits down with Father Matthew Keller of Sacred Heart Cathedral to discuss the passage, beginning with a simple question: why would the Gospel passage covering Christ's betrayal, trial, and judgement be called one of the most hopeful readings? Father Matthew proposes that the argument hinges on a single word: born. Jesus doesn’t say Judas would be bett...

Jesus Wants You to be a Dishonest Steward!
Jesus praises a dishonest steward and most of us immediately feel the tension. Why would Christ commend a man who looks like he’s gaming the system? We dig into Luke 16 and argue that the discomfort is a signal: the parable is not describing an earthly financial trick, but a spiritual reality where mercy, purification, and eternity are the real stakes. I’m joined by Father Matthew Keller to walk step by step through the story as a “purgatorial parable.” We talk about what it means to ...

Listen to Him: The Mystery of the Transfiguration
You know that feeling when you read the Transfiguration and think, “I wish I could have been there”? We challenge that assumption and make a bold claim: you are not deprived of Mount Tabor. When we understand the Catholic liturgy as more than remembrance, Eucharistic adoration becomes a real encounter with Jesus Christ, present and acting, even when His glory is hidden under humble signs. We start with Mark 9 and then follow a surprising path: a seminary homiletics assignment that opened a l...

A Priest, a Prophet, and a King Walk Into a Bar
You’ve probably heard the phrase “priest, prophet, and king” a hundred times. The surprise is how concrete it becomes once you connect it to Pentecost, the Church’s calendar, and what you actually bring to Mass every week. Patrick Mason sits down with Father Matthew Keller of Sigar Cathedral to talk about Ordinary Time (not “ordinary” as in plain, but ordinal as in numbered) and why the season after Pentecost is meant to feel like the Church stepping into the world with the Holy Spirit. We d...

Bullets in the Floorboards
A priest gets put on a death list, leaves for safety, then chooses to go back anyway. That decision sits at the centre of our conversation about Blessed Stanley Rother, the American Catholic missionary from Oklahoma who served in Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala and ultimately died as a martyr alongside the people he loved. We walk through the unlikely details that make his story so gripping: a seminarian who struggled with Latin, a missionary who never felt fully fluent in Spanish, and then the ...

Identity and Mission
Most of us don’t actually struggle with motivation, we struggle with clarity. We want God to hand us a personalised mission statement for today, but we skip the deeper question: do I know who I am, and do I know whose I am? We work through a simple framework that cuts through the fog: relationship leads to identity, and identity leads to mission. When relationship with Christ is thin, mission feels like pressure. When relationship is real, mission becomes obvious, concrete, and surprisingly o...

You Are Sent
The word “mission” can sound like something reserved for priests, campus ministries, or plane tickets. We want to bring it back down to earth, starting where the Church already starts it every Sunday: the dismissal at Mass. After we receive Christ in the Word and the Eucharist, we are blessed and sent, and that sending is not optional. It is the shape of Catholic life. We sit down with Father Joshua Mayer, vicar of clergy and director of vocations for the Diocese of Gallup, to unpack what “m...

Give Us This Day...
“Give us this day our daily bread” is a line most of us can recite by heart, but we rarely stop to ask what the Church is putting on our lips right before Holy Communion. In this episode, we walk step by step through the Communion Rite and show why the Our Father is more than a familiar group prayer. Its “daily bread” ultimately points to the Eucharist, the super substantial bread that truly sustains the Christian life. From there, we linger on the centurion’s words, “Lord, I am not worthy… o...

This Is the Night: The Triduum Explained
Join the Cristeros movement: https://thecristeros.org “This is the night” is not a line of poetry. It’s a claim about reality. We sit down at the heart of Holy Week with Father Mitchell Brown to walk through the Paschal Triduum. Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and the Easter Vigil are not separate events, but one continuous liturgy that makes Christ’s death and Resurrection present. What you will hear: Why the Eucharistic Prayer says “that is tonight” The institution of the Euchari...

The Mass Won't Change You, Unless You Offer Yourself
Six stone jars at Cana held an absurd amount of wine—and that overabundance becomes a doorway into how God gives at every Mass. In this episode, I sit down with Fr. Mitchell Brown of Sacred Heart Cathedral to walk through the Liturgy of the Eucharist using his book Praying the Mass in Lent. If you’ve ever felt like the Offertory is just “the part where stuff happens up front,” this conversation reframes it as the moment you place your whole life on the altar so Christ can transform it. We exp...

The Word Is Christ, Not Background Noise
The Mass is not just something you attend. It is where Christ speaks. Learn more and join the movement: theCristeros.org In Episode 3 of CristeroCast, Patrick and Fr. Mitchell Brown reflect on the Word of God, the Liturgy of the Word, Lectio Divina, and the power of friendship and brotherhood in the Christian life. Why does Scripture belong in the Mass? How should Catholics actually read the Bible? Why do men need fraternity, accountability, and real spiritual friendship? This episode covers ...

The Mass Isn’t Your Playlist.
Why does the Church care so much about liturgical music—and why isn’t the Mass built around our preferences? Join the Movement: https://www.thecristeros.org https://cristerocast.buzzsprout.com https://a.co/d/0iqW5STp ¡Viva Cristo Rey y Santa María de Guadalupe! In this episode of CristeroCast, we continue our conversation with Fr. Mitchell Brown, author of Praying the Mass in Lent, and dive into one of the most controversial topics in Catholic life: music at Mass. Why does the Church give...

Stop Attending Mass. Start Praying It.
Ever feel like you’re clocking in at church… and clocking out unchanged? This week on CristeroCast, we sit down with Father Mitchell Brown, STL in liturgical theology, to recover what the Mass actually is: not something we attend, but a prayer we enter. The Eucharist is Christ’s own prayer to the Father — and we are invited into it. Not as spectators. Not as consumers. But as sons. Father Brown takes us back to the beginning: identity before mission. Just as Christ’s public ministry flowed fr...
