Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen dig deep into why giving money is challenging for us men, what it reveals about our hearts, and how almsgiving trains a man to loosen his grip and live with gratitude.

We can look disciplined on the surface while still clinging to comfort, control, security, and the illusion that what we have is our own.
This conversation gets underneath the act of giving and presses on the deeper question: what am I holding onto?
Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen talk about why almsgiving is more than generosity, why it exposes the heart, and how gratitude breaks the instinct to accumulate.
If fasting teaches a man to master his appetites and prayer teaches him to abide in God, almsgiving teaches him to let go. It trains him to live open-handed before the Lord and to remember that everything he has has first been given.
This is not just about money.
It is about attachment, trust, possession, and whether a man lives like an owner or a steward. |

We found 30 handmade rosaries in our warehouse, so we're launching another free rosary campaign for Lent. There are only a handful left!
The first 30 new members receive a free Catholic Gentleman rosary with their annual Catholic Gentleman+ subscription. |
