Catholic Dads Podcast - Fix You

noreply@blogger.com (Breadbox Media) — Mon, 12 Aug 2019 20:08:00 -0700

We live in a disposable society where it is sometimes easier to replace a broken item rather than repair it. The “cheaper” it is, the easier it is to replace. Where do we draw the line on when to replace something vs. repairing it? How does that translate into things of faith and family such as Marriage and children?

Catholic Dads Podcast - Devices

noreply@blogger.com (Breadbox Media) — Fri, 14 Sep 2018 13:19:00 -0700

Technology sure has come a long way. Think of how many stand alone items that one device has replaced – camera, video camera, radio/CD/Tape player, alarm clock, calculator, calendar, level, compass… the list goes on. Based on information from Nasa.com that device in your pocket likely has at least 240,000 times the memory of a Voyager spacecraft (16 GB vs. 69.63 KB). With all that power and promise at your fingertips it’s no wonder that it can be a distraction. So how do we deal with it?

Catholic Dads Podcast - Ode to Sleep

noreply@blogger.com (Breadbox Media) — Fri, 10 Aug 2018 12:05:00 -0700

A good night’s sleep is more than just getting your beauty rest. You need it to function properly the next day, to have the focus you need and to make you into a likable human being. And as a Catholic Dad it can affect our prayer life and relationship with our spouses and children. So why do we put sleep so low on our priority list?

The Final Chapter in our Three-Part Series honoring the 50th Anniversary of Humanae Vitae, we discuss “The Talk” – that awkward conversation that we have with our kids about sex, and how its best that it comes from you instead of someone else.
