   Fulton Sheen’s Guide to Joyful Living (Guest: Maria Gallagher)

   Fr. Mark welcomes Maria Gallagher to discuss her book "Fulton Sheen’s Guide to Joyful Living," released just ahead of the beloved archbishop’s beatification. They explore Sheen’s remarkable life as America’s first great televangelist, his magnetic preaching on "Life Is Worth Living," his prophetic insights on culture and the value of life, and the practical paths to lasting joy he taught: faith, service, prayer, humility, and a deep love for Christ, Mary, and the Church. A warm, inspiring conversation that introduces a new generation to Fulton Sheen’s timeless wisdom and powerful intercession.

   Making Every Class Catholic (Guest: Dr. Brett Salkeld)

   Fr. Mark welcomes Dr. Brett Salkeld, Archdiocesan Theologian and author of Educating for Eternity: A Teacher’s Companion to Making Every Class Catholic. They explore how a Catholic worldview brings deeper meaning to every subject — from science and history to art and health — and why more families are turning to Catholic education for truth, integrity, and real formation. Dr. Salkeld shares practical stories (including a memorable one about his daughter Dorothy), the link between truth and freedom, and how failure and suffering fit into education that forms the whole person. A rich conversation for teachers, parents, and anyone who wants education ordered toward eternity.

   The Masculine Genius (Guest: Fr. Carter Griffin)

   Fr. Mark sits down with Fr. Carter Griffin to discuss his book "Reclaimed: Freedom, Self-Mastery, and Holy Purity" and the often-overlooked masculine genius. They explore what it means to be good at being a man — the five key qualities of security, steadiness, sharpness, sacrifice, and strength — and how these gifts complement the feminine genius. Fr. Griffin shares practical wisdom for young men, the power of friendship and brotherhood, the need for real human connection in an atomized culture, and how authentic masculinity serves the Church and the world. A timely, encouraging conversation for men seeking clarity, purpose, and holy self-mastery.
