“I love this book. It provides wise counsel with beautiful simplicity. So, if you are looking to safeguard your family life from the wiles of the enemy and encourage your spouse and children to become the saints God is calling them to be, this is a book for you.” – Fr Gregory Pine

Home life can be difficult and busy, and it’s easy to get distracted from the point of it all: raising a family of saints.

In Living Beyond Sunday: Making Your Home a Holy Place, two married couples share what has helped them make their homes a place of encounter with God–a place where saints are being made.

Intro: [00:00:00] Cheers. Cheers. Did you click it and have it work? Sort of an oaky afterbirth. What was that? She did tell me to get a beer and some cheese fries over at Eskimo Joe's. That's very nice, lovely. I only hope you feel this way when I'm done. Because I could destroy this night in two seconds. Why is that funny?

Well, I think it's a bit funny to be trying to define nothing. Smooth as a bourbon on a summer day. Strong as a peated scotch in the winter night. This is a fair warning. The Catholic Man Show is about to begin. Slap some bacon on a biscuit and let's go! We're burning daylight! Welcome to the Catholic Man Show, we're on the [00:01:00] Lord's team, the winning side, so raise your glass.

Adam 

Adam Minihan: and Anne here, sitting with David Niles in studio, Juan is still not here, as we mentioned last week. Be moved. So he abandoned us, so he won't be here very often, but we have our good friend, father Bonaventure Chapman, Dominican friar, priest of God from up in Washington DC area. That's it. Coming back.

We did two, we did two episodes with you last, last, last time you were here. We also done 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: SCOTUS and I think art. 

Adam Minihan: Art. Yes. And so it's great to have you back. for, thanks for like sorry, I'm fourth to record with us today. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Oh, it's delightful. It's a, I love Oklahoma. It's always nice to visit Tulsa.

Friendly people. It's different than the Washington D. C. kind of east coast people. So they're, yeah. 

David Niles: Thank you. Friendly. Thank you. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: That was a huge compliment for us. Yeah, down to earth. 

David Niles: I mean, I'm sure that there are some good people. Wonderful people. In D. C. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: I didn't say there were. Yeah, I didn't say there weren't.

[00:02:00] I just said they're not good. Yeah. You know, it's like. No, they're just different. They're, look, I'll put it this way. They're not from Connecticut. That's it. The New Englanders are a whole different bag. Now, this is all tongue in cheek, but that's fair enough. Yeah, but yeah, just it's refreshing to actually be with ordinary people sometimes because in DC you just, and you're in 

David Niles: city living.

You meant good looking, I think. That's probably what you meant, but keep going. It's all right. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Yeah, fair enough. Yeah, fair enough. My humility 

David Niles: doesn't want to interrupt you. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Yeah, you're doing great. Yeah, I mean, there's there's a lot of guns out here. There's a lot of guns in here. Yeah, so, you know, 

David Niles: here we go.

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Here we are. 

David Niles: Guns are almost like currency around here. No, ammo. Ammos, Ammos definitely. Ammos guarantee, yeah. 

Adam Minihan: So hey guys, we're drinking a Jebsons Bourbon Cask Strength. My mother in law got this for me. It is a bourbon that you can only get in the distillery up in Chicago, Illinois. So it's, it's cask strength.

Like I said, it's like, see, almost 65 percent ABV. It is very strong. So we will drink [00:03:00] it very slowly in moderation. Well, we're on the Lord's team. Cheers. Winning side. So raise your glass. 

David Niles: Cheers to Jesus. 

Adam Minihan: Cheers. 

David Niles: It drinks to me like a standard bourbon, like, this is just, this is, this is like, to me it's like, kind of gives you a pow in the face.

Well, yeah, it is, like you said, it's, it's strong, it's strong, but the flavors that are there, it's like, yep, that is like classic bourbon. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: It's got heavy spice it seems that in the back, kind of swings around so yeah, it's got a lot of movement, it seems, that, I don't know how to describe bourbon bourbon.

But if I were to describe Bourbon. Yes. I would say this has a lot of movement and a lot of spice. Ooh. And I have, I mean, that's, that's probably a horrible way to say it, but that's. 

David Niles: I like that. I need more movement in my life. 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. Chicago. That's great. My, my my grandfather, my mother was born in Chicago.

My grandfather went to med school in Chicago. My brother did his residency pain fellowship at Rush in Chicago. So I love that. That's a great [00:04:00] city. That's how I really. Doing a pain, did you say a 

David Niles: pain? 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Pain 

David Niles: fellowship, yeah. That's there's a lot of, there's a lot of work there, there's a lot of like, funny stuff you can work with.

There is, yeah, 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: yeah. He's a specialist in pain surgery, and he was the 101st airborne flight surgeon, Afghanistan, two tours, and then finished residency, and now he's head of anesthesiology. Pain, now he's in charge of pain, yeah. Yep, in charge of pain fellows. So, 

Adam Minihan: You, you're one of the many, a couple hosts of Godsplaining.

Oh, yeah. There's five of us. Yep. Yep. That's right. So what are you what's been going on over there? 

Fr. Bonaventure Chapman: Well, we've got a taping coming up. We've got some retreats. We're doing a, we just got back this started this year doing two person kind of prudent companion retreats. So Dominicans have this. You don't go out.

We follow Guston's rule. And Guston always says, whenever you go out, make sure you go. with two or three. I didn't do that in this case, but I guess because you two are prudently companionable already. Yeah. Yeah. This is going really good so far. I'm here [00:05:00] to praise you, not to bury you. And so...
