  • Protestant Pastor Becomes Catholic: The Hard Truth Every Man Needs to Hear (w/ Keith Nester)

    Protestant Pastor Becomes Catholic: The Hard Truth Every Man Needs to Hear (w/ Keith Nester)
    Dec 11 2025
    Keith Nester spent more than two decades as a Protestant pastor. Preaching, leading, counseling, and absolutely certain he would never become Catholic. Yet his actual conversion story is long, often humorous, at times painful, and far deeper than a simple change of denomination. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt sit down with​ ⁨ @KeithNester to uncover what really happened behind the scenes: the fears he carried, the pride he had to confront, the moments of grace that broke him open, and the unexpected ways God used marriage, suffering, and friendship to draw him home. But this isn’t just a conversion story, the show quickly turns to truths every man needs to hear. Truths about how to lead, love, and live the faith with integrity. Keith shares the “hard truth” he believes all men must face: that authority without humility collapses, that evangelization begins long before words are spoken, but we still must speak, and that the quiet witness of fatherhood, sacrifice, and joy can transform more hearts than arguments ever will. 🟢 Join Catholic Gentleman+ for over 31 sessions of exclusive formation, daily saint quotes, and a brotherhood of men pursuing holiness: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com 👉 25% OFF Devin’s new book The Rule: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule/ Use coupon code Gentleman25 for 25% off this Christmas Season.

  • Why Marriages Fall Apart After Kids and 5 Simple Steps to Rebuild

    Why Marriages Fall Apart After Kids and 5 Simple Steps to Rebuild
    Nov 13 2025
    Every couple begins marriage with love, purpose, and seemingly endless dreams, but then the kids arrive...and everything changes. Sleepless nights, endless noise, and unrelenting schedules can slowly replace tenderness with tension. Before long, spouses who once felt inseparable find themselves living like teammates or strangers, wondering where the closeness went. In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John Heinen and Devin Schadt confront one of the hardest truths of married life: intimacy doesn’t die overnight; it fades when it’s no longer pursued. They share how to see, hear, remember, and respect your wife again, and how daily virtue (not quick fixes) restores the bond that children, exhaustion, and the world so easily erode. 🟢 Join Catholic Gentleman+ for 30+ sessions to help you understand how to balance work, how to overcome lust, how to actually prayer, and a ton more: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com👉 Get Devin Schadt’s new book The Rule: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule/ Use coupon code Gentleman20 for 20% off.

    She Doesn’t Want You to Fix Her - Here’s What She Really Wants
    Oct 30 2025
    Every loving husband wants his wife to be happy. But what happens when every attempt, every word, solution, silence, seems to push her further away? Why is it that more often than not, she does not want us to help her fix her problems? In this episode, John Heinen & Devin Schadt dig into the struggle so many good men face: the instinct to fix their wife’s unhappiness… and why healing often begins when you stop trying to be her repairman. You’ll hear the truth about the masculine drive to solve, the feminine longing to be seen, and how the real breakthrough comes when you shift your focus from making her happy to loving her well.

    3 Lies Every Man Believes
    Oct 23 2025
    Every man lives by a story, but what if the story you’ve been living isn’t true? We find ourselves, unknowingly, trapped in lies that define who we are and how we must act. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt expose the hidden lies that quietly shape how men see themselves, their worth, and their purpose. These lies are subtle, powerful, and universal, and until they’re revealed, they keep good men restless, anxious, and unsure of who they really are. With honesty and Catholic depth, John and Devin call men back to their true identity, one rooted not in lies but in something far greater. If you’ve ever felt like you’re striving but still empty, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.
