In this episode of Gotta Be Saints, I sit down with Catholic speaker and author Doug Barry to talk about what it means for men to embrace their God-given call to heroism.

We discuss the challenges facing men today, the temptation toward comfort and passivity, and why authentic masculinity requires sacrifice, discipline, and a willingness to take responsibility. Doug shares why men are called to be the “first line of defense” for their families and how prayer, the sacraments, and devotion to Our Lady prepare us for the spiritual battles we face.

We also talk about Doug’s new book, First Line of Defense: The Catholic Man’s Call to Heroism, co-written with Daniel O’Connor, and the practical ways men can grow spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically.
