Virtuous Leaders with Dr. Johann D'Souza

What if sexual liberation was never about freedom? What if it was always about control?E. Michael Jones wrote Libido Dominandi 25 years ago. The subtitle tells you everything you need to know. Sexual Liberation and Political Control. The thesis is simple. Sexual passion has been systematically weaponized as a tool of political domination from the French Revolution to the smartphone in your pocket.The biblical paradigm is Samson and Delilah. Samson was unconquerable. He could not be defeated in battle. But he had a weakness. And when Delilah exploited it, they cut off his hair and enslaved him. Then they cut out his eyes. As Thomas Aquinas says, lust darkens the mind. You become like a raging lion focused only on the antelope. And then you fall into the trap because you were not paying attention.Jones traces this from the Marquis de Sade to the invention of the camera to Hollywood to the internet. Each technological leap made the distribution of moral subversion more efficient. And now we have the smartphone. The greatest instrument of control in the history of the universe. An entire generation addicted to pornography because they all have cell phones.What You'll Learn:• The political mobilization of sexual lust began with the Marquis de Sade and the French Revolution • The camera solved the technological problem of mass distributing pornography • Bob Dylan introduced the Beatles to marijuana and changed the direction of American music • The antiwar movement was broken by sex, drugs, and rock and roll • The smartphone is constant distraction that prevents you from formulating coherent thoughts • Our hope is in the Lord and there is reason to be optimisticE.

In 1980, Dr. E. Michael Jones was fired from a Catholic college for being pro-life. He has been persecuted and canceled ever since.Google his name and the first results are the Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center calling him an anti-Semite. Use DuckDuckGo and the first result is his own website, Culture Wars. That tells you everything you need to know about who controls the information environment.Dr. Jones has spent over 40 years writing about the conflict between Logos and revolution. His 1,800-page book The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit traces this conflict from the rejection of Christ to the present day. His work on sexual liberation, Libido Dominandi, explains how moral subversion is used as a tool of political control. And his most recent book, Logos Rising, argues that Logos is mandatory for every human being because we are rational creatures.This conversation covers the definition of anti-Semitism, the revolutionary nature of Puritanism, the connection between Freemasonry and Judaism, the destruction of the English literary profession, and why suffering for the truth is the only path forward.What You'll Learn:• The original meaning of anti-Semitism was biological determinism and has been weaponized to mean anything Jews dislike • The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit is defined by the rejection of Logos, the order of the universe • Puritanism had a satanic grammar rooted in John Milton's Paradise Lost where Satan is the hero • Freemasonry was a philo-Judaic movement used to destroy Catholic Europe in the 18th century • Getting fired from a Catholic college was the best thing that ever happened to Dr. Jones because it freed him from a dying institution • If you are not suffering for the truth then you are not in the battleDr. E.

Are you willing to suffer for the truth? The answer was yes. And the suffering came. But so did the reach. Dr. Jones says his audience has never been larger. The books they tried to suppress are being read all over the world. And the slander of anti-Semitism has become a joke because they cried wolf one too many times.#EMichaelJones #CultureWars #DrJohannDSouza #VirtuousLeaders #Logos #JewishRevolutionarySpirit #LibidoDominandi #CatholicIntellectual #FreeSpeech #CanceledVoices #TruthTellers #LogosRising👇 Are you willing to suffer for the truth?

Speak truth, do good, or die trying.Marcellino D’Ambrosio @SherwoodFellows and his twin brother launched their “crack squad of dudes” in 2015 to transform Catholic marketing. After helping a Catholic roofing company’s solar division hit $1M extra revenue by shifting messaging from green virtue signaling to energy independence, Marcellino knows Catholic culture needs thriving Catholic businesses—not just better homilies. Raised by a theologian father and molded by homeschooling and public school challenges, he now writes on Substack about the post-liberal age while building family traditions like crafting coats of arms and daily mottos.Top 5 insights from Marcellino D’Ambrosio: • LinkedIn’s toxic positivity silences truth-tellers; speak anyway. • Catholic businesses should support men to afford stay-at-home wives; paychecks evangelize culture. • COVID revealed spiritual warfare: searches for Catholic scapulars and Wiccan spells doubled. • Identity is tribal, not individual; young men seek brotherhood and rituals denied by society. • Evangelization means starting businesses and cultural traditions, not just church programs.Marcellino D’AmbrosioCo-founder, Sherwood Fellows Marketing Agencyhttps://sherwoodfellows.com/https://www.instagram.com/sherwoodfellows/Substack: https://marcellinodambrosio.substack.comDr. Johann D’SouzaClinical Psychologist & HostPractice: https://www.valuesfirsttherapy.com/Collective: https://www.valuesfirstcollective.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johanndsouza/X: https://x.com/drjohanndsouzaSubstack: https://drjohanndsouza.substack.com/Mid-tier corporate Catholics can’t speak truth yet.

Get $40 off Wisephone using code valuesfirstAndrew Laubacher of Humanality ditched his smartphone at the peak of his music career, and something miraculous happened: his ministry exploded globally. Now he's exposing Silicon Valley's dirtiest secret. Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Zuckerberg all sent their kids to Waldorf schools with ZERO technology while pushing addictive devices on yours. Andrew's take? "You don't get high on your own supply."As Executive Director of Humanality, he's building offline "villages" where people reclaim 144 hours per year from their screens. Top 5 Insights from Andrew Laubacher • Tech titans protect their own kids from the products they sell yours. Every major Silicon Valley founder chose low-tech or no-tech education for their children. They knew exactly what they were creating. • 68% of Gen Z feels desperately lonely despite being "connected" 24/7. Hyper-connectivity is making us lonelier than ever. Real community requires proximity, shared concern, and actual responsibility. • Porn sites get more traffic than TikTok, Instagram, Zoom, OpenAI and Amazon combined. 30% of all internet traffic is pornography. Your 8-year-old has probably already been exposed. • Creativity beats IQ for success, but screens are destroying it. We're in a creativity crisis because devices are atrophying our cognitive abilities. The Torrance Test proved creativity matters more than intelligence. • Moderation with smartphones is like asking teens to moderate ecstasy. These aren't neutral tools. Trillions of dollars went into exploiting human psychology.

Chris Stanley is the Founder of MiniBook Publishing, where he empowers entrepreneurs, coaches, and thought leaders who struggle with getting their expertise out of their heads and into the world to create powerful, bite-sized “mini books” that establish credibility, attract clients, and spark real transformation.Top 5 Insights from Chris Stanley• Mini books force clarity—not just for readers, but for writers. Chris’s framework helps leaders distill their most important wisdom into concise, actionable forms that busy families and professionals can actually use. • A “flywheel” of impact: One well-written mini book can drive podcasts, social media, newsletters, and in-person talks—allowing you to reach families and communities consistently, without social media burnout or confusion about message. • Intentional living requires intentional work. Chris models a values-first approach, prioritizing family, homeschooling, and adventure on a sailboat—even as he runs digital businesses that fund his mission and time together. • Leading your family means shaping the culture at home. For Chris, that looks like involving his kids in building businesses, teaching them real-world skills, and making time for what matters most—no matter where life takes them. • Evangelizing your core beliefs—whether faith, parenting, or business—isn’t about hype, but about sharing a distilled, lived philosophy. Chris draws wisdom from centuries-old principles to help leaders (and their kids) make their impact felt.Timestamps00:00 Meet Chris Stanley: Empowering Entrepreneurs and Thought Leaders with Mini Books00:37 Defining a Mini Book01:39 Why Write a Mini Book?02:23 Frameworks for Writing Mini Books07:02 Marketing and Credibility Through Mini Books12:22 Pricing Strategies for Mini Books16:21 Choosing the Right Marketing Channels22:19 Steps to Start Writing Your Mini Book25:31 Mastering the Art of Mini Book Writing26:06 The Power of Structured Writing28:15 Flywheel vs. Funnel: A Marketing Debate30:26 Creating Valuable Lead Magnets32:57 The Journey from Lead Magnet to Coaching37:32 Balancing Family Life on a Sailboat40:29 Evangelizing Through Writing44:15 Choosing the Right Platform: Substack vs. Medium46:50 Final Thoughts and Contact InformationChris StanleyFounder, MiniBook Publishinghttps://www.minibookpublishing.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrispstanley/Dr. Johann D'SouzaClinical Psychologist at Values First Therapyhttps://www.valuesfirsttherapy.com/https://www.valuesfirstcollective.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/johanndsouza/https://x.com/drjohanndsouza

Through books, coaching, and ministry, Kevin’s mission is to develop fathers who are present, purposeful, and grounded in faith—so their children feel truly known, seen, and loved.Top 5 Insights from Kevin Goodnight • Strong fatherhood starts with strong personal identity: To be a better dad, you have to be a better man—addressing your own struggles and growth comes first. • Establishing purposeful family routines, like sharing three meals a week together, significantly lowers risks for kids and strengthens the parent-child bond. • Intentionality shifts everything: Simple actions, like putting away your phone when you get home and bookending your day with reflection and prayer, transform how you show up for your family. • Dads don’t need to be perfect—they need to be present. Focusing on their child’s heart, not just their outward behavior, is essential for true mentorship and discipleship. • Faith-infused leadership can’t be compartmentalized: Kevin’s story demonstrates that serving powerfully at home and in the marketplace often means bringing your whole, authentic self—including your faith—into every role.Timestamps00:00 Meet Kevin Goodnight: Helping Dads Become Virtuous Leaders00:34 Founding Dad Voted: A Journey of Sobriety and Purpose01:29 Helping Dads: Coaching and Writing03:18 Top Tips for Busy Dads05:56 Entrepreneurship and Book Sales08:04 C-Suite for Christ: Marketplace Ministry12:07 Speaking Engagements and Referrals14:05 Conclusion and Contact InformationKevin GoodnightFounder, Dad Votedhttps://www.dadvoted.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-goodnight/https://thewellthyleader.com/Dr. Johann D'SouzaClinical Psychologist at Values First Therapyhttps://www.valuesfirsttherapy.com/https://www.valuesfirstcollective.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/johanndsouza/https://x.com/drjohanndsouza

Through bold national initiatives, Jason leads efforts to heal wounds, foster deeper reverence, and inspire a new wave of “Eucharistic missionaries” ready to bring faith from the church to the streets.Top 5 Insights from Jason Shanks • Pilgrimage and public Eucharistic processions have sparked surprising stories of healing, conversion, and renewed unity among families and church leaders nationwide. • A true “revival” isn’t just intellectual; it reignites hearts, combating apathy and indifference by inviting Catholics to deeper devotion and visible reverence in daily life. • Leadership in faith movements means humble collaboration: Jason credits a diverse team, from bishops to volunteers, for the momentum of the National Eucharistic Revival. • Post-pandemic challenges have been transformed into opportunities for growth and renewal, prompting deeper questions about community, faith, and isolation—and fueling increased conversions among young people. • Becoming a “Eucharistic missionary” starts with personal commitment—daily prayer, active participation at Mass, and helping others—supported by training, community, and ongoing national initiatives.Timestamps00:00 Meet Jason Shanks: Inspiring Eucharistic Revival in the Catholic Church00:36 What is the National Eucharistic Revival?01:06 From Pilgrimage to Movement: The Story Behind the Congress02:19 Success Stories: Conversions, Healings, and Restoration03:55 Revival of Faith: Impact on Bishops and Parishes04:34 Combating Apathy: Rekindling Devotion to the Eucharist05:15 What Happens After the Congress?

Pete Burak is the Vice President of Renewal Ministries, where he helps individuals and communities hungry for deeper faith who struggle with stagnation or disconnection to encounter Jesus, become Spirit-filled disciples, and actively lead others toward renewal in the Church.Top 5 Insights from Pete Burak• Spirit-filled leadership begins with personal discipleship and flows outward—authentic leaders are formed in Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to replicate this transformation in others. • Humility and obedience are foundational for leadership; true leaders have first learned to follow before inspiring others to move from where they are to where God is calling. • Magnanimous vision—seeing and pursuing a “big God” mission—comes alive not just in public figures, but also in ordinary lives lived faithfully and well for the Kingdom. • Impactful leadership often happens in hidden places: raising families, influencing local communities, and quietly serving—these leaders are building the Church just as much as high-profile ministers. • Expectant listening to God isn’t a buzzword for Pete—it’s a way of life and a core value in organizational leadership, prayerfully pausing to seek and act on God’s direction at every level.Timestamps00:00 Meet Pete Burak: Forming Spirit-Filled Catholic Leaders00:20 Meet Pete: Vice President of Renewal Ministries00:33 Mission and Activities of Renewal Ministries01:26 Spirit-Filled Leadership Podcast02:40 Qualities of Effective Leaders04:54 Inspiring Leaders and Their Impact10:08 Pete's Vision and Mission14:59 Strategies for Effective Leadership17:46 Core Message: Repent and Believe19:08 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsPete Burak Vice President, Renewal Ministries https://www.renewalministries.net/ https://www.instagram.com/peteburakhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/peteburak916/https://www.facebook.com/pete.burak https://x.com/PeteBurak10https://www.youtube.com/@RenewalMinistriesDr. Johann D'Souza Clinical Psychologist at Values First Therapyhttps://www.valuesfirsttherapy.com/https://www.valuesfirstcollective.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/johanndsouza/https://x.com/drjohanndsouza
