Catholic Life Coach For Men Michael Jaquith

A lot of us take great confidence in our technical skills. We may be the very best at our jobs of all the competition, but if we cannot connect on a personal level then we are going to struggle.
Join me in this episode as Lance Cayko walks through his journey of learning to connect with others, and eventually with God. So often we run from God - or at least from what we think God represents. Yet, God patiently draws us back to Himself. The truth always points to Him.

This is a tough time to be in a corporate environment and be a Catholic.
There's a tremendous number of powerful assaults on the truth and teachings of goodness going on everywhere. Many men are intimidated and unsure how to balance what seems like an impossible mix: providing for their family while also speaking the truth.
Join me in this episode as I tackle this difficult question.  What are the principles and practical ways we as Catholic men can navigate these treacherous waters? We must hold to truth. We must hold to charity. We cannot compromise on virtue. We must be men of prayer, discernment, and action.

Virtually everyone has heard of the Ten Commandments. Yet, surprisingly, most of us can't actually name all ten.
If we can't even name them - do you really think we're actually keeping them?
Some people might even wonder if they're still relevant in our lives today.
Join me in this episode as Ed Van Buskirk and I talk about the value and necessity of the Ten Commandments in our lives, even today. We discuss why they are a critical part of our struggle towards holiness. God has given us a great gift in the commandments, and we ignore them to our own suffering.

We hear all the time that we need to surrender something to the Lord. Sure, it sounds good, and is probably a good thing to do - but how do we actually do it?
Sometimes surrendering that particular thing kind of feels almost like a little bit of death! 
Sometimes it actually is. But we still have to do it anyways.
Join me in this episode as I walk through How to finally Surrender something to the Lord. It's super simple, but also super hard. To help make the point, I also tell 3 stories in my life of where I've had to surrender something, and the pain and agony I've gone through to do it.

Sometimes God asks us for little things. A little adjustment here or there. 
Sometimes He asks us to do things that scare the...poop out of us.
How we respond to His call tells us a lot about ourselves. All too often we crumble and falter. But we don't have to!
Join me in this episode as Kevin Phillip shares his story of God's call to ministry through his life. Sometimes it was easy, and sometimes it was very hard. God often calls us into the place we least want to go - the place we are most afraid of. How we respond to that call sets the course of our lives!

Every human has a great number of pieces, parts, and facets to themself. Finding balance is often difficult - commonly one piece (perhaps a lustful piece) takes over control and we seem "surprised" with where we end up.
Things get really bad when we confuse a "piece" of ourself for the actual "self."
Who is the real "I" that lives beneath all our desires, whims, and needs?
Join me in this episode as I start with Exodus chapter 32 (the original "Pride Parade") and explore what commonly happens whenever we confuse a piece of ourselves with the actual self. The response is for the Levites to draw swords and kill - and that is often the response we need also towards those lustful, gluttonous and sinful parts.
Mild action doesn't cut it. We need to be radical.
