The Manly Catholic: Igniting Men to Light the World on Fire
Voted #1 Catholic Podcast for Men!
Jesus Christ is the epitome of what it means to be a man. With masculinity in our culture more confused than ever, join us at The Manly Catholic as we strive to ignite men to be on fire for Christ. Men are challenged and fight battles that often distract them from their ultimate goal: to become a saint. We will help you become saints and become the men God created you to be. And have some laughs along the way. Because who couldn't use more laughter in their life?
