The Catholic Gentleman
by Sam Guzman
It started as a blog. Sam Guzman's The Catholic Gentleman grew into a podcast, books and a community that describes itself as Catholic men striving to live for Christ by serving their families, their neighbors and the Church.
The podcast covers prayer, virtue, spiritual combat, marriage, fatherhood, work and the lives of the saints. Some episodes are conversations with guests, and others are shorter reflections. The tone is earnest and encouraging, with no chest-thumping. It challenges men to take their faith seriously and live it in concrete ways, starting with the people under their own roof.
It suits men in OCIA, husbands and fathers, and men who want encouragement from other Catholic men. Plenty of men find it easier to talk about faith once someone else has named the struggle out loud. This show does that. Episodes are a manageable length, so it fits into a commute or a workout.
