Descripción

Soccer, hospitality, and a world brought together A self-described skeptic of the expanded 48-team format, Huynh admits the 2026 FIFA World Cup [https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show] has won him over. What's captured his attention isn't only the matches but the atmosphere — Scotland's "Tartan Army" singing through the stands, Japanese fans sharing Texas barbecue, strangers meeting across cultures. Events like this, he says, remind us that human beings delight in gathering, in song, in shared ritual — signs that we belong to something larger than ourselves. (Tournament note for fans: the World Cup runs across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico through the July 19 final, with the group stage wrapping up June 27.) From "warm fuzzy" to action: Catholic social teaching Catholic social teaching begins with the dignity of the human person — but never as an isolated individual. Citing Chesterton's line that "tradition is the democracy of the dead," Huynh argues that healthy societies are built from the bottom up: before we are citizens, we belong to a family; before we grasp justice, we learn to share. Neighborhoods, schools, parishes, and even youth sports form us — teaching, as any young player learns, that talent isn't enough, that discipline matters, and that you can face "disappointment without despair." Loving your neighbor in real community Turning to the second half of the greatest commandment, Huynh offers a concrete picture of loving your neighbor: embed yourself in the small, local communities you already belong to. He shares how an invitation from fellow parents into a simple faith-sharing group became exactly that kind of community — a place to carry the "weals and woes" of life together. Love of neighbor, he says, flows naturally from love of God.

The Catholic Morning Show – 06/24/2026

On The Catholic Morning Show today Sam Halligan hosts this week while Bo Bonner is away (back next Monday). Two conversations anchor the morning — one on the interior life and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the other on community, culture, and what really brings people together. Living in the Sacred Heart of Jesus — Betty Bosarge Betty Bosarge, OSF — retired criminologist, Secular Franciscan, and Fr. Robert I. Bradley's longtime editor — introduces Bradley's new book, The Pathway to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, from Angelico Press [https://angelicopress.com/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show]. She unpacks how the Holy Eucharist and devotion to the Blessed Mother open a genuine pathway to living within the Sacred Heart, and how Fr. Bradley's three-stage rule of life makes holiness practical for laypeople. The conversation lands in a fitting season: on June 11, 2026, the U.S. bishops marked the nation's 250th anniversary with the consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus [https://www.usccb.org/consecration-united-states-sacred-heart-jesus?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show]. The World Cup, Belonging, and the Common Good — John Huynh John Huynh, director of social justice for Catholic Charities of Des Moines [https://www.catholiccharitiesdm.org/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show], reflects on the 2026 FIFA World Cup [https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show] as a rare moment of global community. Drawing on Catholic social teaching and G.K. Chesterton, he explains why healthy societies grow from the bottom up — through families, parishes, neighborhoods, and even youth sports — and how to turn a "warm fuzzy" feeling into the everyday work of loving your neighbor.

How to Live in the Sacred Heart of Jesus: A New Book and a Rule of Life – Betty Bosarge – 06/24/2026

About the book: The Pathway to the Sacred Heart of Jesus A new release from Angelico Press [https://angelicopress.com/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show], this was the central project of Fr. Robert I. Bradley, S.J. — a Jesuit who, as a teenager at Gonzaga High School in Spokane, first wondered whether a soul could truly live inside the Heart of Jesus while still on earth. He entered the Jesuits in 1941 and spent a lifetime mapping that pathway. Betty Bosarge, OSF, his longtime editor and a key force in bringing the book to publication, joins the show to share its message. A pathway through the Eucharist and Our Lady Bosarge describes Fr. Bradley's core conviction: receiving Jesus in the Holy Eucharist — truly his Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity — with devotion and belief reshapes a life. Sin loosens its grip, the virtues grow, and the fruits of the Holy Spirit follow. Live this way, she says, and life feels almost split in two — "halfway in heaven and halfway here" — carrying real peace even through suffering. A rule of life for the laity — in three stages After years of people asking "Father, how do we get there?", Bradley developed a layperson's rule of life that unfolds in three stages, culminating with the great mystics like St. Teresa of Avila in true contemplation. Practical starting points from the conversation: first, desire it and resolve in your will; recognize sin and embrace the Sacrament of Penance; then build a devotional rhythm — Sunday Mass moving toward daily Mass, the Rosary, and more. To answer the universal "I don't have time," Bradley's chapter on building a rule of life has readers track how they spend each day for a couple of weeks — and discover the free hours hiding in plain sight. A timely word: the Sacred Heart in 2026 The book arrives in the heart of the Church's Sacred Heart season. On June 11, 2026, the U.S. bishops consecrated the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as part of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, following a June 3–11 novena. Explore the prayers and resources at the USCCB's consecration page [https://www.usccb.org/consecration-united-states-sacred-heart-jesus?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show].

The Catholic Morning Show - 06/23/2026

On this episode, guest host Sam Halligan — filling in for Bo Bonner — explores what real freedom looks like in the Christian life with the Fourth of July approaching. Two longtime friends join to share the missions God has placed on their hearts. Monica Welsh — The Catholic Bible Class with Mon Catholic Bible teacher Monica Welsh shares her casual, self-paced courses that take beginners through the whole Bible, book by book. Recording from Damascus' new East Coast summer camp in Maryland, Monica explains how her audio-guided Old Testament and New Testament courses connect every book of Scripture and make the Sunday readings come alive. Explore the courses at thecatholicbibleclasswithmon.com [https://thecatholicbibleclasswithmon.com/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show]. Nick Redd — The Freedom Group Freedom coach Nick Redd shares his powerful conversion and his mission to help men break free from addiction and reclaim their God-given identity. Nick walks through a Christ-centered, neuroscience-based approach to craving and "redemptive suffering" that helps men become fully present with their spouses, children, and God.

Helping Men Get Free: Addiction, Healing & Real Freedom – Nick Redd – 06/23/2026

Meet Nick Redd Nick is a co-founder and freedom coach with The Freedom Group, living in Kansas City with his wife, Theresa, and their growing family. After 15 years in full-time ministry, he launched The Freedom Group three years ago. His Story Raised in a strong faith background, Nick knew the rules but stayed trapped in a cycle of confession and relapse that grew into addiction. In 2009 he hit rock bottom and met Christ in a life-changing conversion — a healing that now fuels his mission to walk alongside other men. The Mission The Freedom Group helps men get free from pornography, lust, and other addictions and reclaim their God-given identity. Nick is convicted that families, culture, and society rise and fall on whether men will "get in the arena" of their own lives, and the group is now partnering with dioceses and seminaries to expand that work. The Approach Nick reframes addiction as a learned "solution" to pain rather than a simple moral failing. The Freedom Group's year-long, multi-phase curriculum is built on the neuroscience of redemptive suffering — learning to feel and suffer well, reframe cravings, and practice presence — so a man can show up fully for his spouse, his kids, his God, and himself. He also points listeners to Gerald May's book Addiction and Grace.
