  • The Hard Truth About Discipline & The Catholic Revival in NZ

    Is the "disciplined life" actually sustainable, or is it just a path to burnout? In this episode of the Curious Catholic Evangelion Podcast, I sit down with Tomas Mones-Cason from Fit for the Kingdom to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to live with heroic virtue.


    Thomas shares his raw experience balancing the growth of a massive social media platform with the upcoming arrival of his first child. We dive deep into the "soul-crushing" moments of early wake-ups, why quality matters less than consistency in the age of AI, and the explosive Catholic revival currently taking place in Christchurch. Whether you are struggling to stay on the "hard path" or curious about the St. Michael's Troop movement, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for the modern Catholic man.


    Key Topics Covered:

    The reality of the 4 AM wake-up call and how to stop hitting snooze.

    The impact of the Radio New Zealand (RNZ) article on the local Catholic community.

  • Ep. 67 How being single made me a better Father: 4 Things Every Catholic Husband Must Do

    What does it really mean to be a Catholic husband and father in today’s world?


    After spending just 12 hours living like a bachelor again, I realised something profound: fatherhood isn’t just a role, it’s a calling — and it requires four non-negotiables:


    1️⃣ Live Virtue

    2️⃣ Be Selfless

    3️⃣ Take Responsibility & Sacrifice

    4️⃣ Prioritise Your Time


    In this episode of Curiously Catholic, I share stories from fatherhood, insights from voices like John Clark, James Baxter, Jordan Peterson, and Bishop Barron, and practical ways we men can reclaim our mission as husbands and fathers.


    👉 Do we really need to give up bachelor freedoms?

    👉 How do we balance work, family, and faith?

    👉 And why is virtue the most powerful legacy we can leave our children?


    This is a call to men everywhere: the world doesn’t need more distracted men chasing dopamine — it needs fathers who love God, love their wives, and love their children.

  • Ep 66: Charlie Kirk’s Assassination: Human Dignity, Justice & the Death Penalty

    The shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk has divided the world — with some mourning his death, while others disturbingly celebrated it. This raises a deeper question: have we lost the human dignity at the heart of real discourse?


    In this episode of Curiously Catholic, I sit down with returning guest Fr. Isaac Fransen to tackle tough and timely questions:


    What does the Catholic Church teach about human dignity?

    How should we approach disagreement and debate in today’s culture?

    Is the death penalty ever a legitimate deterrent to crime?

    And even the most difficult: Does someone like Hitler still have human dignity?


    👉 This is a raw and thought-provoking conversation about faith, justice, and morality that will challenge the way you see the world.

    The gunshot that echoed around the world… and the injustice whose full impact we’ve yet to see.

    In this episode, I reflect on the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk, looking at what some of his closest friends and colleagues have said about him — and what we can learn from a man who left a profound mark on the world.

    💭 4 main learnings I garnered from Charlie:

    - Know your opponent

    - Live Virtue

    - The Power of Dialogue

    - Be not afraid

    My take on the Charlie Kirk Assassination.

    I had planned to sit down with Simon from Family Life International today to talk about something very different, but then in a moment the whole world changes and we did talk about life, we spoke about Charlie Kirk, how he lived out a call that was given to him and him alone, and how he lived it to the full. How do we process this, well the Church as always has the answer andwe see this in the beatification of the first millennial Saint Carol Acutis. Tune in for the full discussion.

  • EP.63: Scientific truth Revealed in Scripture w/ Dr Roger Seheult

    Join me for a fascinating conversation with Dr. Roger Seheult, physician, medical educator, and co-founder of MedCram, as we explore how and where God has revealed scientific truths in the Bible.

    From medicine to nature, Scripture contains wisdom that has shaped not only our spiritual lives but also our understanding of the created world. Dr. Seheult shares his unique perspective at the intersection of faith, science, and Scripture, and why seeing God’s hand in creation can transform the way we live today.

    👉 In this episode:

    Does the Bible anticipate modern science?

    How Scripture reveals truths about health and creation

    Why faith and science aren’t in conflict

    Dr. Seheult’s journey in medicine and faith

  • Ep. 60: How to Really Win People to the Faith w/ Cy Kellet


    Join me for a conversation with Catholic Answers’ own Cy Kellett as we explore how to win people’s hearts—not just arguments.


    This episode was filmed during Cy’s New Zealand tour a few years ago, where he spoke in Auckland and Hamilton. It was an incredible time, and in this chat we dive into the stories, lessons, and insights from that visit.


    We talk about:

    Why truth and charity must go hand in hand

    The difference between debating and evangelizing

    Lessons from engaging a secular culture with the Gospel
