The Reconsidered Leader, Pt. 7: Holiness and Leadership--Being Set Apart
2026/04/18
We keep our reconsidered leader arc going, this time considering the Scriptural concept of Holiness and what it has to teach us about leadership that imitates Our Lord. Dispelling misconceptions regarding the ideas of holiness, we look to the Old Testament to dwell on the concept of election (both for persons and people), and dive into the social and political situation on the ground during the New Testament to help look at Jesus's understanding of the point of holiness, and the implications this has for leadership.

The Reconsidered Leader, Pt. 6: Sacrificial Leadership-The Ultimate Skin In The Game
2026/04/11
Rolling along with the reconsidered leader, we explore how the Theology of Sacrifice makes Taleb's concept of "Skin In The Game"...well...take on flesh! Sacrifice is often misunderstood as archaic or merely destructive, but with a properly informed Theological understanding, the Christian difference in leadership takes on new light. Along with practical implications for how Sacrificial Leadership will (and will not!) look like on the ground, its an episode you won't want to miss!

The Reconsidered Leader, Pt. 5: Skin In The Game--Leadership Incarnate
2026/03/28
We continue our Reconsidered Leadership series with part 5: Extending arguments made by Nassim Nicholas Taleb from his popular book Antifragile, we explore the concept of "Skin in the Game," and how interpreted through the "key of Christ," this understanding of what leaders must do in regard to risk, benefit, and sharing burdens with those they lead serves as the practical way forward to judge whether one is a kenotic leader or not.

The Reconsidered Leader, Pt. 4: Being Antifragile--Gaining Through Struggle
2026/03/21
We continue our Reconsidered Leadership series with part 4: Antifragility. Taking the theory by Nassim Nicholas Taleb from the book by the same name, we consider how leadership that is made different in the "key of Christ," is self-emptying and "apophatic" leads us to help our followers not become fragile, but more than resilient. This is nothing but antifragility, and it is unique to the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus Christ that His strength is more than robust, but weakness, suffering, and strife transfigured by the Resurrection.

The Reconsidered Leader, Pt. 2: Pour Yourself Out--Kenotic Leadership in Scripture
2026/02/28
The arc of the Reconsidered Leader rolls on: we now turn to the central Scriptural concept that must guide our understanding of leadership: Kenosis. With extended observations from Philippians 2 and the Gospel episode of Christ washing the Apostle's feet, we formulate the essential principle grounding the rest of our conception of the difference Jesus Christ makes for leadership studies.

A Life of Showing Up: Why Fathers Matter and What Keeps Cradle Catholics in the Faith
2026/02/07
On this special episode of The Uncommon Good, Dr. Bud Marr is joined by Joe Stopulos, host of Man Up, for a candid and engaging discussion about the spiritual journey of a cradle Catholic. Joe reflects on growing up in a large Catholic family, the quiet power of faithful parents, and how simply “showing up” to Mass formed a lasting foundation of belief.
The conversation explores the importance of fathers in passing on the faith, the challenges and blessings of Catholic life in the 1990s, and how Joe’s faith deepened in adulthood through parish life, Scripture study, Catholic radio, and the influence of Fr. John Ricardo. Joe also shares the story behind the founding of Man Up and the vibrancy he sees today in the Diocese of Des Moines.
This episode is a thoughtful reflection on how ordinary faithfulness can bear extraordinary fruit — in families, parishes, and the wider Church.

The Seeds Of The Future: On What's Around the Corner in 2026
2026/01/10
The guys ARE NOT trying to predict the future! Instead, they dwell on "the seeds" of issues broiling the world and effecting the Church that look to be "on the docket" for the Church to witness to and navigate. From The Pope, to Peace in the world, and what it actually means to be prophetic, we hope to get your year started off right!
