Fr. Mark welcomes Dominican priest Fr. Jesse Maingot, O.P. (co-author with Fr. Ignatius Schweitzer, O.P.) to discuss their new book How to Be His: A 33-Day Dedication to Our Eucharistic Jesus. Fr. Jesse shares his powerful reversion story — from New Age and agnosticism to a life-changing encounter with Christ through a deacon at Mass — and why the Eucharist became the center of his priesthood and ministry. Together they explore practical ways to deepen intimacy with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the fruits of adoration, how it prolongs and intensifies the graces of Mass, and powerful insights from the saints on living as Christ’s own. Perfect for anyone seeking a deeper relationship with Jesus in the Eucharist, whether preparing for the Eucharistic Revival or simply longing to belong more fully to Him.

Why Feminism Can't Be Fused with Christianity (Guest: Dr. Carrie Gress)

Fr. Mark welcomes Catholic author and speaker Carrie Gress to discuss her powerful new book Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can't Be Fused with Christianity. In this timely conversation, Carrie explains why the feminist movement, rooted in Marxism, envy, contempt for men, and radical autonomy, is fundamentally incompatible with Christian anthropology. She contrasts it with John Paul II's vision of women, complementarity, fruitfulness, and authentic femininity grounded in Scripture and the dignity of the human person. From the historical roots of feminism and its quasi-religious structure to the importance of motherhood, beauty, spiritual maternity, and the genius of women as life-givers, this episode offers clarity and hope for rebuilding a culture that honors the true gifts of men and women. A must-listen for anyone navigating today's gender debates, marriage, family, and the role of women in the Church and world.
