Episode 4 Temptations Every Man Faces and How to Overcome Them
🟢 FREE Handmade Rosary This Month for those joining CG+ https://catholicgentlemanplus.com/rosary We know the temptations that hunt us, the ones we can't seem to outrun no matter how serious we get about our interior life. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt walk through a practical four-temptation framework with the corresponding virtues that combat each one. From lust as a disordered desire rather than a foreign attack, to the "respectable sin" of greed we praise as ambition, to the pride we cannot see in ourselves, to the sloth hiding inside our busiest days. We get honest about why temptation is not the sign that we're losing but the sign that the devil has marked us because he's afraid of us, why tithing belongs to today and not to some future income, why we're called to pursue excellence without attaching ourselves to it, and what Mother Teresa told the priest who was too busy for adoration. This isn't a list of sins to feel bad about. It's the field on which virtue is won, built on the conviction that to be a man is to have virtue, and to have virtue is to have power. 👉 Devin Schadt's new book The Rule: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule/ COUPON CODE for 20% Off: Gentleman20
