<p>I sat down with Matt Fradd, host of “Pints With Aquinas,” to explore the enduring power of Christian faith, the cultural crisis facing the West, and the vital role of fathers in navigating these turbulent times. As a Catholic convert, Matt examines the perceived tension between reason and faith in our culture—and explains why that conflict is an illusion. We dive into the significance of Holy Week, the problem of evil, and the reality of spiritual warfare. Matt critiques a culture adrift and makes a passionate case that the only path forward is one rooted in spiritual clarity and moral conviction.</p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Follow Matt on X (formerly Twitter): <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/RealMattFradd">https://x.com/RealMattFradd</a></p><p>Watch “Pints With Aquinas”: <a target="_blank" href="https://youtube.com/@pintswithaquinas?si=8ttxcoOvLmhmc22O">https://youtube.com/@pintswithaquinas?si=8ttxcoOvLmhmc22O</a></p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Outline:</p><p>[0:00] Why is Holy Week important?</p><p>[5:35] What can we learn from the Crucifixion?</p><p>[8:21] Grappling with the problem of evil</p><p>[17:53] Fatherhood requires suffering and sacrifice</p><p>[26:33] Original sin, salvation, and purgatory</p><p>[31:50] Should we trust the authority of the Church?</p><p>[38:29] Can we really be certain about anything?</p><p>[46:11] Faith, reason, and St. Thomas Aquinas</p><p>[50:27] Why did Jesus appear 2,000 years ago?</p><p>[57:23] Has the Enlightenment reached it’s limit?</p><p>[1:03:01] Does math prove God’s existence?</p><p>[1:13:12] Fairy tales are more true than textbooks</p><p>[1:17:46] What is spiritual warfare?

<p>I sat down with Eustace Wolfington, executive producer of “Cabrini,” to explore his journey from car leasing innovator to filmmaker behind a movie that Hollywood wouldn’t touch. Eustace shares how discovering Mother Cabrini at 23 had a lifelong impact, eventually driving him to bring her story to the screen. Cabrini, an Italian immigrant nun, overcame institutional corruption and fierce opposition to serve the poor and build an empire of charity. Her message of dignity, perseverance, and service resonates in today’s divided world, challenging us with a universal call to action that’s long overdue.</p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Watch “Cabrini”: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.angel.com/movies/cabrini">https://www.angel.com/movies/cabrini</a></p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Watch the video version on YouTube: <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/AH6iS2GMc_s">https://youtu.be/AH6iS2GMc_s</a></p><p>Make a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: <a target="_blank" href="https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?)">https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?</a></p><p>Visit our website: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/">https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/</a></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Dad Saves America at <a href="https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe</a>

<p>I sat down with Scott Lincicome, trade expert and Vice President of General Economics at the Cato Institute, to discuss why tariffs and protectionism are bad policy. Despite bipartisan support for trade restrictions in recent years—especially those targeting China—Scott argues that tariffs are fundamentally at odds with American prosperity, raising prices, killing jobs, and weakening U.S. manufacturing. He explains why fears over trade deficits are misplaced, how offshoring has actually boosted American wealth, and what really drove deindustrialization in the Rust Belt.</p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Follow Scott on X (formerly Twitter): <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/scottlincicome">https://x.com/scottlincicome</a></p><p>_____________________________________</p><p>Watch the video version on YouTube: <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/-G4L1WhB8NM">https://youtu.be/-G4L1WhB8NM</a></p><p>Make a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: <a target="_blank" href="https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?%5D(https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?)">https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?</a></p><p>Visit our website: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/">https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/</a></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Dad Saves America at <a href="https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe</a>
