**Fatherhood is the frontline of spiritual warfare.** In this hard-hitting #conversation Devin Schadt — founder of *The Fathers of St. Joseph*, co-host of *The Catholic Gentleman*, and author of *The Rule* delivers a clear call to Catholic men to wake up, stand their ground, and reclaim their God-given mission.

If you are a husband or father who feels stretched thin, spiritually numb, or unsure how to lead your home, this episode will challenge you to rise. Devin breaks open the truth that the enemy targets fathers first because the father is the spiritual head of the home. When the father collapses, everything collapses. When the father stands, everything strengthens.

We confront the reality of the battle, the wounds men carry, the lies that weaken them, and the steps every man must take to reorder his life under God. Devin gives direct guidance rooted in St. Joseph’s spirituality: prayer, sacrifice, hidden fidelity, blessing your children, uniting with your wife as one spiritual front, and building a rule of life that trains your soul for the fight.

If you want to stop drifting and start leading, press play on this #podcast episode.

Your wife needs this. Your children need this. The Church needs this.

And your soul depends on it.
