In this episode, Adam and Dave start with a lighthearted story about a suspicious liquor store and end up diving into one of the most serious struggles facing men today: restraining our instincts.
They reflect on:
- The challenges of summer routines, distractions, and drifting prayer lives
- The importance of order and rhythm in family and spiritual life
- How our passions can overwhelm us if not properly trained
- Practical steps for purifying the memory and avoiding near occasions of sin
- The balance between embracing God’s gifts and remembering the Giver
- What it means to fight temptation as husbands and fathers, especially in seasons of abstinence
- Encouragement from the spiritual masters: why pressure can be good and why we must never assume we’re immune from temptation
With humor, honesty, and practical advice, Adam and Dave remind us that peace is the tranquility of order and that holiness requires vigilance, fraternity, and grace.
