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.

 

133 – An Addiction Story with Doug Sweeney

There’s a lot of guys being crushed by addictions right now. Statistically, if you’re not one of them, you know at least one. The kingdom of God is under assault like never before.

Although an addiction can feel absolutely overwhelming, there is hope. You can find help, freedom, and finally a sense of peace. I encourage you to be decisive – act today, either for yourself or for a friend you know is struggling!

Join me in this episode as Doug Sweeney shares his amazing story of how a poor father lead Doug into years of addiction. Things kept getting worse until Doug ended up in jail. There he encountered the Lord and got help. If you are on Doug’s path, I encourage you to look for help before you end up where he did!

Doug bravely shares his story and how he helps men to break free from the bondage of addiction. You can read more about Doug and contact him on his webpage: https://www.breakingbondagefromaddiction.com/

130 – Walking with God with Daniel Krynzel

A lot of guys struggle to believe that they can actually hear God’s will for their lives. It’s easy to lose heart and drift when we lose this connection.

But what if it was easier to connect with God than we’ve been lead to believe?

What if there was a guided process that would help you better align your life with God’s plan? What if it was easy and simple?

Join me in this episode as Daniel Krynzel outlines his Walking With God process. He tells his story of how even though he had everything money could buy, he had a huge hole in his heart. This was only filled when he learned how to listen to God and put His plan into practice – even when it was unexpected!

Daniel is offering his app totally for free, I really recommend you check this out! You can find it at https://thegodwalkapp.com/
