SPEAKER
Mr. Jordan Montag discusses the Daily Examen as a practical tool for intentionally pursuing heaven, explaining how prayerful reflection helps us recognize God’s presence, respond to His grace, and identify areas where we need deeper conversion. He walks through the five steps of the Examen—prayer for enlightenment, thanksgiving, reflection on our thoughts and actions, contrition, and hopeful resolution—and emphasizes that it is not a checklist for being “good,” but a way to align our hearts more closely with God’s will. Through personal examples, he shows how regularly practicing the Examen can help us become more aware of God in the ordinary moments of daily life and prepare us to respond to His grace with greater freedom and love.

Into the Breach
Thursday, August 21, 2025
MR. WILLIAM STEGALL
Mr. William Stegall discusses the call of Catholic men to holiness and leadership, drawing from the Into the Breach exhortation and the imagery of spiritual battle. He explains how holiness begins with a deep relationship with Christ and flows into our vocation as husbands, fathers, and protectors of the family. Through practical “battle tactics” such as living a sacramental life, prayer, spiritual formation, obedience to God’s will, strengthening the home, and advancing with courage, he challenges men to step into the breach and become the leaders and warriors God created them to be.

DR. ERIC KEHN
Dr. Eric Kehn discusses the reality of hell, purgatory, and heaven, framing the journey of the Christian life around our ultimate choice to live with God or apart from Him. Drawing from Scripture and the wisdom of the saints, he explains how the cross reveals God’s love, how purgatory purifies us from the attachments and imperfections that keep us from divine union, and how heaven is our true home and ultimate goal. He challenges us to detach from worldly desires, pursue holiness now, and live each day with eternity in mind.

Christ the King and Proper Discernment

Dr. Ryan Tortorich discusses redemptive suffering and how to approach it as part of our journey toward heaven, explaining how God can bring greater good from suffering and invite us to participate in Christ’s work of redemption. He encourages us to offer our suffering to God, use it as an opportunity to grow in virtue and serve others, and carry the cross with love rather than resignation.
Time and Eternity
Thursday, November 20, 2025
MR. MITCH LEGER
Mr. Mitch Leger discusses how to use our time wisely in light of eternity, emphasizing that the pursuit of heaven is ultimately the pursuit of holiness. He challenges us to see every moment as a gift from God and to orient our daily decisions, relationships, work, prayer, and leisure toward loving God and doing His will. Drawing from Scripture and examples of the saints, he encourages us to keep heaven as our goal, avoid wasting the limited time we have been given, and actively pursue sainthood through a Christ-centered life.
Session 4: Prayer
The Catholic Teaching on Salvation
Thursday, December 18, 2025
FR. TODD LLOYD
Father Todd Lloyd discusses Catholic teaching on salvation and the pursuit of heaven, explaining how Christ’s sacrifice reconciles humanity with God and how we receive that salvation through grace and faith. He explores the relationship between faith, good works, and the sacraments—particularly Baptism and the Eucharist—and clarifies the distinction between justification and sanctification. Ultimately, he emphasizes that God does not merely want to forgive our sins, but to transform and sanctify us, calling us to become holy and remain united with Him on our journey toward eternal life.
Prayer
Thursday, December 18, 2025
DR. LUKE ZUMO
Dr. Luke Zumo discusses the role of prayer in our pursuit of heaven, presenting prayer as a personal response to God’s presence and invitation. He explores what prayer is, how we can enter into genuine prayer, and why a daily prayer life is essential to our relationship with God and our preparation for eternal life. Through Scripture, the Catechism, and practical examples, he encourages us to move beyond simply “going through the motions” and instead enter into a personal, loving relationship with God through silence, Scripture, and daily prayer.
Session 5: The Sacraments
Journeying to Heaven
Thursday, January 15, 2026
FR. GREGORY HESLIP
Father Gregory Heslip discusses the journey toward heaven and the importance of being attentive to God’s guidance along the way, using the journey of the Magi as a reflection on the Christian life. He explores how God speaks through prayer, other people, and circumstances, and how we need the courage to remain open to His plans, even when obstacles arise. He ultimately challenges us to examine what “stars” we are following in our lives and to let faith, hope, and love—and ultimately Christ Himself—guide our decisions and lead us closer to Him.
The Sacraments
Thursday, January 15, 2026
MR. ROY ISSA
Mr. Roy Issa discusses the role of the sacraments in our pursuit of heaven, explaining how Christ continues His saving work through the seven sacraments of the Church. He walks through each sacrament and its role in the different stages of Christian life—from baptism and confirmation to the Eucharist, reconciliation, anointing of the sick, holy orders, and matrimony. Ultimately, he shows how the sacraments are not merely rituals or symbols, but encounters with Christ that give grace, strengthen and transform us, and prepare us for eternal life with Him.
Session 6: Root Sin
Root Sin
Thursday, March 12, 2026
MR. JOHNPAUL CHAUVIN
Mr. JohnPaul Chauvin discusses root sin and the importance of discerning the deeper causes behind our recurring faults, explaining how identifying our predominant fault can help us grow in holiness and pursue heaven more intentionally. He explores three main root sins—pride, vanity, and sensuality—and how they are connected to where we seek our security. Through daily examination, prayer, spiritual direction, and the development of corresponding virtues, he encourages us to move beyond simply identifying our sins and instead develop a concrete plan for overcoming them while keeping our eyes fixed on Christ.
Our Lady of La Salette
Thursday, March 12, 2026
FR. TODD LLOYD
Father Todd Lloyd discusses Our Lady of La Salette and her call to conversion, focusing on the message she gave to two young shepherds in 1846. He explains how Mary’s sorrow points to the seriousness of sin, particularly the neglect of Sunday worship and the misuse of God’s name, while the image of the hammer and pincers reminds us that conversion can “remove the nails” from Christ’s wounds. Ultimately, he presents La Salette as a message of mercy and hope, calling us to deeper love for Jesus through faithful worship, prayer, and a renewed commitment to living out our faith.

Redemptive Suffering

FR. MICHAEL LUXBACHER
