Pints With Aquinas sponsors and ad reads

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out, that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12-month plan required. $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only. Greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy. See terms.

Years ago, a husband and a wife in Lithuania sent me one of their handmade rosaries, and I was so struck by it. The weight, the quality, the care in every detail. It was seriously the most beautiful rosary I'd ever seen. Now, in collaboration with Theotokos Rosaries, I'm making two of their handcrafted rosaries available to you over at dailywire.com slash shop. Italian olive wood, gold plated brass, micro braid cord built for a lifetime of prayer. Each one made by hand in Lithuania. These are not just beautiful rosaries. They can be family heirlooms that you would pass down, use for personal devotion. You can also give them as a wedding gift, ordination gift, confirmation gift, or for graduation. Now the first batch sold out right away. So pre-order yours now at dailywire.com slash shop before the next batch is gone. That's dailywire.com slash shop.

Raise our children, what organizations we support, but sometimes it's the little decisions that reveal what we actually value. Take your cell phone bill. It's one of those expenses you probably don't think about very often, but what if every month it could actually support causes you believe in? That's why I want to tell you about Charity Mobile. They're proudly pro-life. They offer the same nationwide coverage you'd expect from the major carriers. There are no contracts and their customer support service is staffed by pro-life Americans. Even better, every month they donate a percentage of your bill to the pro-life pro-family organization you choose. Over the last 30 years that's amounted to millions of dollars supporting the culture of life. Plans start at under 50 before taxes and fees. If you're already paying for phone service anyway, why not let that money do some good? Visit charitymobile.com slash Matt Fradd. Use promo code Matt Fradd and you'll receive a free phone with every new line, plus free activation and free shipping. Again, that's charitymobile.com slash Matt Fradd.

Amazing difference. I'm thinking of this one beautiful woman who was so kind to me when I was a child. She just supported me. And I would say that support in a very real way changed my life. One way you could do this for someone is supporting mothers facing unexpected pregnancies. That's exactly what PreBorn network clinics do. They offer free ultrasounds, practical support, counseling, diapers, maternity clothes, and real hope. And when a mother sees her baby on that ultrasound screen, something remarkable happens. That one moment dramatically increases the likelihood that she's going to choose life. Your generosity has already helped rescue hundreds of thousands of babies, but there are still mothers walking into clinics today who need someone to stand beside them. You'll probably never meet these children and they'll never know your name, but your generosity could become part of their story forever. If you'd like to help, go to preborn.com slash matt. That's preborn.com slash matt or dial pound 250 and say baby.

I grew up in Australia and we only had instant coffee in the 80s and 90s. I don't think it was until I was maybe like 18 years old that I had my first good cup of coffee and then immediately became hooked on it. I love coffee so much. It's become one of those little daily rituals I genuinely look forward to. And what I love is great coffee with a great cause. Seven Weeks Coffee is doing more than roasting great coffee. Seven Weeks Coffee is America's pro-life coffee company and they donate 10% of every purchase to pregnancy centers and pro-life organizations across the country. The name is pretty remarkable too. At seven weeks a baby is about the size of a coffee bean and it's also around that time that a heartbeat is clearly detected on an ultrasound. Since launching they have raised more than 1.5 million dollars and helped save thousands of lives. And yes, the coffee itself is excellent. It's mold-free, pesticide-free, shade-grown, organically farmed, low-acid, basically everything I'm looking for in a good cup of coffee. Go to 7weekscoffee.com slash pints and subscribe to save 15% forever, plus you'll receive a free gift. Then use promo code pints for an extra 10% off your first order, bringing your first order savings to 25% plus that free gift.

There are arguments for God that happen in books and then there are arguments for God that happen when you walk into a cathedral. You've probably had that experience. You step into one of these ancient churches and for a moment you stop talking, you stop thinking, you just look. Beauty has a way of opening the heart before the mind is even ready to argue. That's why I'm excited about a new documentary called Heaven in Stone and Glass featuring Bishop Robert Barron. He journeys through five of France's greatest Gothic cathedrals, including Notre Dame, Chartres, and other names that I can't pronounce, unpacking the theology hidden in the architecture, the stained glass, and the incredible craftsmanship that has pointed souls toward God for centuries. Whether you're a lifelong Catholic exploring the faith, or you simply appreciate beauty, this is the kind of film that's meant to be experienced on the big screen. Heaven in Stone and Glass is in theaters nationwide on September 20th and 23rd. Get your tickets now at heaveninstoneandglass.com and if your parish or community wants to attend together visit heaveninstoneandglass.com slash group for group reservations.

I want to talk about a company I've talked about in the past, namely Catholic Match, because it encourages intentional dating, not collecting matches. You, if you're discerning marriage, should hold the line on what actually matters: faith, character, openness to children, and a shared direction in life. Give a little grace, okay, on the non-essentials like height, hobbies, or the perfect profile picture. The best spouse rarely matches your checklist exactly. And thank God for that. If you are serious about discerning marriage, visit catholicmatch.com and take the first step. It seems like there have been many videos where I will talk about Catholic Match and then in the comment section, someone will say something like, I promise I'm not being paid to say this. I met my spouse through Catholic Match. Now I got married well before apps and smartphones and color television. That's a joke almost. But if I was single right now in discerning marriage, I would absolutely give this a shot and I think you should too. Go check out catholicmatch.com today to take the first step and be sure to download their app.

So here is a nugget of advice. Be careful what you feed your mind. We all know that what we watch affects us, what we listen to affects us, but what we read, that shapes us too. If most of your information comes from headlines, think about that. If most of your information comes from headlines, social media, or people who fundamentally misunderstand the Catholic Church, it's no surprise that your perspective will get distorted. That's why I'm grateful for publications like The Catholic Herald, such a beautiful magazine. The Catholic Herald has been covering the life of the Catholic Church since 1888. Over the years, it has features from some of the greatest Catholic writers in history, like G.K. Chesterton, Evelyn Waugh, Monsignor Ronald Knox, even J.R.R. Tolkien wrote letters to the editor. Today, they're continuing that tradition with thoughtful news, analysis, and opinion on the church and the world from a traditionally Catholic perspective. No sensationalism, thank goodness. No agenda-driven outrage, just serious writing for serious readers. I have these magazines at my house. They are not only excellent—like the material is excellent and edifying—it's also really beautifully put together. So if you'd like to give the Catholic Herald a try, they're offering my audience 30 days of free access. Just head to thecatholicherald.com. All of this stuff is online as well, of course, and use promo code FRAD at checkout. That's thecatholicherald.com, promo code FRAD for 30 days free.
