In Episode 11 of Arena Ablaze, Marco Sandoval and Todd Powers look back at the podcast so far, revisit the lessons that have impacted them most and explain the larger mission behind these conversations. Arena Ablaze is a call for men to move beyond a faith that exists only in the head and allow it to transform the heart. Marco and Todd discuss Marian consecration, the Holy Face of Jesus, the power of prayer, suffering, brotherhood, virtue and the need for men who are willing to put their faith into action.

They reflect on lessons from previous guests, including Father Carney, Father Bernie Georges and Bob Powers, while discussing the Sacred Heart, public processions, the Rosary, Catholic masculinity and the importance of recognizing the opportunities God places before us. The goal is to build an army of men consecrated to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These are ordinary men who are willing to enter the arena, sharpen one another and carry the Holy Face of Jesus into the spiritual battle raging around us. Marco and Todd also explain the meaning behind “Sons of Muck,” why men need honest conversations and how suffering can strip away pride, distractions and attachments so that God can reveal our identity and mission.
