ITF 13 | Virtue of Hobbies. Manhood and the Battle for Presence
<p><strong>Manhood, Hobbies, and the Battle for Presence | Into the Fire EP 13</strong></p><p>In this episode of <strong>Into the Fire</strong>, Levi, Devin, Josh, and John (Ice Cream) continue their mission of <strong>igniting a culture of evangelization</strong> that empowers men to lead in the battle for sainthood. The team dives into the practical disciplines of daily life, exploring how our hobbies, social signals, and even our phone habits define our character and impact our families.</p><p>The conversation starts with a spirited debate on <strong>social etiquette</strong>, specifically regarding the "loud" trend of dyeing hair unnatural colors. The hosts question if these choices serve as a distraction or a "look-at-me" signal that conflicts with the Catholic understanding of the <strong>"body as a temple"</strong>.</p><p>We also revisit the <strong>Cicero Challenge</strong>, as Devin shares his perspective on the quote: "No one can be brave who thinks pain the greatest evil or temperate who holds pleasure to be the highest good". Written as a guide to his son in Athens, Cicero’s wisdom warns against the "feel-good" philosophies that erode society. The team discusses why men must move from being a <strong>"no-act" to a "mo-act"</strong> (man of action) by embracing discomfort and rejecting the chase for constant "coziness".</p><p><strong>Key Topics Include:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>The Virtue of Hobbies:</strong> Why edifying activities like <strong>jiu-jitsu, fly tying, and scale modeling</strong> are essential for character building and avoiding the "devil's playground" of an idle mind.</li><li><strong>Scripture for the Mind:</strong> Reflecting on <strong>Proverbs 16</strong> and <strong>Philippians 4:8</strong> to guide our free time toward whatever is honorable and pure.</li><li><strong>The Battle for Presence:</strong> Levi shares a convicting story of his three-year-old son grabbing his face and saying, <strong>"Dad, look at me,"</strong> as a wake-up call to stop "doom scrolling" and be present.</li><li><strong>1950s Humanity at the Zoo:</strong> A real-life experience observing a resurgence of parents who are choosing intentional connection over digital distraction.</li><li><strong>Phone-Free Zones:</strong> Why society is beginning to push back against device addiction, including phone bans on rides at Disneyland.</li></ul><p><strong>Timestamps:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>0:00</strong> – <strong>Intro & Opening Prayer:</strong> Striving to bring God to men and men to God.</li><li><strong>2:45</strong> – <strong>Social Etiquette:</strong> The debate on unnatural hair colors and social signals.</li><li><strong>7:15</strong> – <strong>The Cicero Challenge:</strong> Bravery, pain, and the guide to being a man.</li><li><strong>10:30</strong> – <strong>Manhood vs. Animals:</strong> Why self-control is the defining trait of a virtuous man.</li><li><strong>14:45</strong> – <strong>The Devil’s Playground:</strong> Using Scripture to combat idleness and bad behavior.</li><li><strong>21:30</strong> – <strong>Character-Building Hobbies:</strong> From combat sports to the intricate art of fly tying.</li><li><strong>27:45</strong> – <strong>The Trap of "Vegging":</strong> Managing gaming, TV, and movies with temperance.</li><li><strong>32:15</strong> – <strong>"Dad, Look at Me!":</strong> Overcoming the distraction of the "stupid phone".</li><li><strong>36:30</strong> – <strong>Real Life Experience:</strong> Lessons in presence and "1950s humanity" at the zoo.</li><li><strong>43:00</strong> – <strong>The Phone Basket:</strong> A practical solution for reclaiming family time.</li><li><strong>47:00</strong> – <strong>Closing Thoughts:</strong> Keep stoking the fire.</li></ul><p><strong>Resources Mentioned:</strong></p><ul><li>Visit <strong>infernommen.com</strong> to find core groups, event tickets, and the "Mystique of Inferno" reading material.</li><li>Register for the <strong>Inferno Men’s Conference</strong> at the Broadmoor.</li><li>Check out the <strong>Laudate App</strong> for prayer and examinations of conscience.</li></ul><p><strong>Connect with Inferno Men:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Website:</strong> https://infernommen.com</li><li><strong>Podcast:</strong> Search "Into the Fire" on <strong>Spotify</strong> and <strong>Apple Podcasts</strong>.</li><li><strong>Support the Mission:</strong> Subscribe, smash the like button, and leave a 5-star review to help the algorithm!</li></ul>

ITF 12 | Cardinal Virtue Series : Fortitude. Why Mass Isn't Entertainment: Churchill, Eucharistic Miracles, and Active Participation
<p><strong>Why Mass Isn't Entertainment: Churchill, Eucharistic Miracles, and Active Participation | Into the Fire EP 12</strong></p><p>In this episode of <strong>Into the Fire</strong>, Levi, Devin, Josh, and John dive deep into the heart of the Catholic faith, focusing on why the <strong>Eucharist is the "source and summit"</strong> of the Christian life. Join the team as they explore the battle for sainthood and the mission to bring God to men and men to God.</p><p>The conversation begins with a heavy-hitting <strong>"Manly Man Quote" from Winston Churchill</strong> about the virtue of <strong>fortitude</strong>: "A man does what he must in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures and that is the basis of all human morality". The hosts discuss how this secular definition of courage aligns with the Christian call to follow God's path, even when it leads to persecution or social criticism.</p><p>We also address the common struggle of finding Mass "boring." Drawing on <strong>Father Mike Schmitz’s "Mass 101,"</strong> the team explains that we attend Mass to give God <strong>justice</strong>—giving Him His due worship—rather than seeking entertainment. We discuss the importance of <strong>active participation</strong> and "Catholic calisthenics," highlighting how the physical actions of the liturgy are designed to keep the mind and body engaged in the sacrifice of Jesus.</p><p><strong>Key Topics Include:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Winston Churchill on Fortitude:</strong> Doing what is right regardless of "personal consequences".</li><li><strong>The Eucharist:</strong> Analyzing recent studies on the resurgence of belief in the <strong>True Presence</strong>.</li><li><strong>Mass is Not a Movie:</strong> Why participation is the key to a deeper spiritual encounter.</li><li><strong>The Science of Miracles:</strong> How <strong>Eucharistic miracles</strong> and the work of <strong>Blessed Carlo Acutis</strong> point to the reality of Christ in the host.</li><li><strong>Finding "Perfect Silence":</strong> The power of <strong>Adoration</strong> at 5:00 AM and "soaking in the Spirit".</li><li><strong>Real Life Experience:</strong> Lessons from a golf pro on being approachable and breaking through the solitude of modern life.</li></ul><p><strong>Timestamps:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>0:00</strong> – Intro & Opening Prayer: Igniting a culture of evangelization.</li><li><strong>3:00</strong> – Banter: Can you wear tennis shoes with a suit?.</li><li><strong>5:30</strong> – <strong>Lightning Quote:</strong> Winston Churchill’s basis for human morality.</li><li><strong>12:15</strong> – The Sacraments: A quarter of the Catechism explained.</li><li><strong>15:15</strong> – The Source and Summit: Why the Eucharist contains the whole spiritual good of the Church.</li><li><strong>17:15</strong> – <strong>Mass 101:</strong> Giving God His due through justice, not entertainment.</li><li><strong>21:00</strong> – Catholic Calisthenics: The purpose behind standing and kneeling.</li><li><strong>23:45</strong> – <strong>Eucharistic Miracles:</strong> Scientific findings and Blessed Carlo Acutis.</li><li><strong>27:15</strong> – The Plenary Indulgence: Confession, Mass, and communion.</li><li><strong>33:30</strong> – <strong>Adoration:</strong> Finding God in the "perfect silence" of the early morning.</li><li><strong>39:00</strong> – Real Life Experience: Breaking the guard of strangers on the golf course.</li><li><strong>47:00</strong> – Closing Thoughts: Keep stoking the fire.</li></ul><p><strong>Connect with Inferno Men:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://infernommen.com/">infernommen.com</a> (Find core group locations and register for the <strong>2026 Inferno Men's Conference</strong> at The Broadmore).</li><li><strong>Listen:</strong> Available on <strong>Apple Podcasts</strong>, <strong>Spotify</strong>, and <strong>YouTube</strong>.</li><li><strong>Support the Mission:</strong> Smash that like button, subscribe, and leave a 5-star review!.</li></ul>

ITF 11 | Cardinal Virtues series: Temperance, Self Control, and Why Life is a Battleship
<p><strong>Mastering Self-Control: Cicero, Temperance, and Why Life Is a Battleship | Into the Fire EP 11</strong></p><p>In this episode of <strong>Into the Fire</strong>, Levi, Josh, and John continue the <strong>battle for sainthood</strong> by diving into the final installment of the <strong>Cardinal Virtues series</strong>: <strong>Temperance</strong>. With Devin away on assignment, the team explores what it means to lead as Catholic men by mastering self-control and ordering our desires toward the good.</p><p>The conversation begins with a look at "humanity" in everyday life, debating the nuances of <strong>elevator etiquette</strong>—specifically the awkward "thank you" given to someone who didn't actually stop the elevator for you—and how these small interactions reflect our social intentionality. We also tackle a common liturgical debate: the <strong>"Sign of the Cross" parentheses</strong>. Should you sign before and after every individual prayer in a series, or just once at the start and end?.</p><p>At the heart of the episode is a powerful <strong>manly man quote</strong> from the Roman orator <strong>Cicero</strong>: "No man can be brave who thinks pain the greatest evil, nor temperate who considers pleasure the highest good". We discuss the danger of <strong>complacency</strong> and the need to move from being a <strong>"no-act" to a "mo-act"</strong> (man of action) for Christ.</p><p><strong>Key topics include:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>The Definition of Temperance:</strong> Understanding self-mastery over instincts and the proper use of created goods (food, drink, and sexuality).</li><li><strong>St. Thomas Aquinas & "Hilarity":</strong> Why the goal of temperance is to find the "just right" balance—drinking to the point of joy, but no further.</li><li><strong>The Goldilocks Rule of Evangelization:</strong> Applying balance to how we meet people where they are through the <strong>Win-Build-Send</strong> model.</li><li><strong>Battleships vs. Cruise Ships:</strong> Why our lives should be viewed as a mission rather than a vacation.</li></ul><p><strong>Timestamps:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>0:00</strong> – Opening Prayer & Introduction: Igniting a culture of evangelization.</li><li><strong>2:30</strong> – Elevator Etiquette: Breaking the tension in modern society.</li><li><strong>9:15</strong> – The Sign of the Cross: Managing the "parentheses" of prayer.</li><li><strong>11:45</strong> – <strong>The Cicero Challenge:</strong> Bravery, pain, and the pursuit of greatness.</li><li><strong>15:30</strong> – Complacency vs. Action: Moving from "no-act" to "mo-act".</li><li><strong>20:15</strong> – <strong>Discomfort and Greatness:</strong> Why we were not made for comfort.</li><li><strong>26:20</strong> – Cardinal Virtues Recap: Building a saintly life on a human foundation.</li><li><strong>28:45</strong> – Temperance Explained: Mastery over animal instincts.</li><li><strong>30:50</strong> – Abstinence, Sobriety, and Chastity: Ordering our physical appetites.</li><li><strong>34:10</strong> – <strong>Drinking to Hilarity:</strong> Wisdom from St. Thomas Aquinas.</li><li><strong>38:40</strong> – The Power of Order: Why monasteries and families thrive on rules.</li><li><strong>45:30</strong> – The Goldilocks Rule: Finding the balance in outreach.</li><li><strong>51:20</strong> – <strong>Win-Build-Send:</strong> Modeling the Master in the Inferno Men culture.</li><li><strong>55:40</strong> – Battleships vs. Cruise Ships: Life as a mission-focused journey.</li><li><strong>1:02:15</strong> – Real Life Experience: Being approachable and bowing before the Tabernacle.</li><li><strong>1:15:30</strong> – The Happiness Debate: Is joy the ultimate goal?.</li><li><strong>1:19:00</strong> – Closing Thoughts: Keep stoking the fire.</li></ul><p><strong>Connect with Inferno Men:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://infernommen.com/">infernommen.com</a> (Find core groups, the Mystique of Inferno, and event tickets).</li><li><strong>Podcast:</strong> Available on <strong>Spotify</strong> and <strong>Apple Podcasts</strong>.</li><li><strong>Support the Mission:</strong> Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and help us ignite the fire!.</li></ul>
