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.

 

131 – Our Struggles with Alex Pauls

I really enjoyed my previous conversation with Alex and decided to invite him back. We decided to do something different for this episode.

Rather than an organized and official topic, we just wanted to share what we’re both working on in our own lives for this season of Lent. This episode is entirely 100% unplanned, unscripted, and raw. I think you’ll enjoy it.

My hope is that you’ll go out and have a similar conversation with your friends – share what matters to you!

122 – Following God with Alex Pauls

Jonah was swallowed by a whale when he went astray of God’s plan but that isn’t the only option. Many people today get stuck in something that feels very comfortable while avoiding God.

Often following God’s call requires giving up something that seems good and comfortable, but God only asks us to go forward to find something better yet!

In this episode, I’m joined by Alex Pauls who shares his story of how God has guided his life. God’s plan for Alex challenged his limiting beliefs and false identity statements. Although it was difficult, looking backwards so often shows us how God’s plan was exactly what we needed!

120 – Gratitude Humility and Purpose with Tobi Ojekunle

I’ve always been jealous (in a good way!) of the passion and authentic joy the people seem to commonly have in Africa.

They move about with a purpose to their lives and a deep smile on their face. When I look in the mirror, I don’t always see such a compelling smile on my own face.

Join me in this episode as my Nigerian guest Tobi shares his story. You will love how his passion and joy for life (and self improvement) spread into every part of his life. There’s a lot of practical ways you also can find more passion and enthusiasm for your life!

“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.”
