Stand Tall In The Sight Of The Father

CATHOLIC LIFE COACH FOR MEN PODCAST

God should come first, but what does that really mean?

I’m Michael Jaquith. A modern Catholic guy, a podcaster, and a Life Coach. This podcast is dedicated to those guys who really want to grow and become the man God created them to be.

We’ll talk about both practical strategies for managing life, better ways to view and engage the world, and how to take one step closer to standing tall in the sight of the Father.

 

157 – Leave No Soul Behind with Fred Vilbig

Christ commissioned his disciples to spread the Good News to everyone throughout the world. While this has always been challenging, it is even harder in our “post-Christian” world.

It’s very clear that arguments are rarely effective.

Join me in this episode as Fred Vilbig shares his story and how he shares his faith with everyone – including his fallen-away children. This is a challenge that many Catholic parents are struggling with, uncertain how to reach them.

As a father of 11 children, several of which have fallen away from the faith, he has ample practice. He shares his wisdom about how gentle questions and open engagement can reach the heart far better.

Fred has written a book specifically about his experience reaching these souls. You can get a copy of the book and learn more about Fred at his website https://catholicgathering.com/

156 – Why with Cory Rosenke

Deep down, we all (even non-Christians) know that there has to be some part of us beyond our brains and bodies. Those deepest parts have yearnings that call us to search for something that is not material.

Those yearnings call us to search for God. Though, we do get confused sometimes.

Join me in this episode as Cory Rosenke shares how his yearnings (and and irrepressible urge to ask “Why?”) lead him to his faith and to God. We talk about how the deepest issues of identity, purpose, mission, and meaning lead us to God in a powerful way. Without their proper alignment, we are easily lost.

155 – Beauty and Connection with Michaell Magrutsche

We live in an age that emphasizes systems, order, processes, logic, and efficiency as a primary purpose of our work. In many ways, these indeed have brought tremendous comfort, safety, and convenience to our lives.

But what if we’ve lost something also? What if this overemphasis on systems has cost us the meaning, purpose, and connection that makes human life ultimately worth living?

Join me in this episode as I’m joined by a rather unusual guest. Many of you know that I’m an engineering type of mindset – Mr. Michaell Magrutsche is on almost the opposite end of the temperament. He shares his story about how his inability to complete basic elementary school lead to his artistic success.

Michaell also shares his discoveries about connection, and how choosing people, beauty, and a curious perspective can bring fulfillment and meaning.

You can read more about Michaell’s work at his website: https://michaellm.com/self-aware-art-education or follow him at https://anchor.fm/michaellart

Michaell is not Catholic, and we discuss the importance of beauty, and how his work compares with the teachings of the Catholic faith.

“It has been extremely helpful to have someone that can look at things from an outside perspective and ask objective, and hard, questions and then follow that up with some great resource recommendations. He has helped me question my own assumptions which has allowed me to get clear and focused on my goals and objectives to and be able to make changes in my circumstances and life.”
