The 5 Hidden Vices Fathers Pass to Their Children Without Even Realizing It

About this episode

Why do so many men find themselves struggling with the same patterns their fathers struggled with: anger, distraction, work obsession, emotional distance, lust, even despite promising they’d be different? The truth is, fathers pass far more to their children than they realize. Not just beliefs or values, but habits, tone, priorities, and ways of relating that quietly shape the next generation. In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John Heinen and Devin Schadt expose five hidden vices that fathers often pass on without ever intending to. They challenge men to see what their children are already learning from them, and how to break destructive cycles before they become generational. 🟢 Join Catholic Gentleman+ for deeper formation, exclusive sessions, and a brotherhood of men pursuing holiness: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com Join us on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheCatholicGentleman 👉 25% OFF Devin’s new book The Rule: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-rule/ Use coupon code Gentleman25 Video Producer – Pietro Damasceno Learn more about your ad choices.
