Catholic Life Coach For Men Michael Jaquith

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.

So often in our lives, God is moving pieces that we don't see, or at least understand. We commonly are so focused on the moment we fail to see the bigger picture.
Commonly we fear that things are so bad there is no way even God could bring good out.
But there are also those blessed moments where God lets us really see back in time - see the beauty of His design, the power of His creativity. In those moments we are offered a renewed hope.
Join me in this episode as Scott Maderer shares his story. It is a powerful story of a patient God who lets Scott try it his own way. When that fails, God gently, patiently, and inexorably leads Scott back to the faith.

The Pro-Life cause is near and dear to many Catholics' hearts. Yet, a lot of us, with good intention, write a check, pray, and hope that's enough.
Here's a great story about a group of Deacons who set out to do more.
Join me in this episode as Deacon Dr. Kevin Cummings shares the story of Deacons of Hope. While based in Kansas, they are looking to expand. They created an amazing way to help women who were considering abortion; they support, treat, and train these women for success in life.
Deacon Kevin also shares some great life advice for those of us who aren't in that "second career" phase yet.

Most of us believe that God has a plan for us. Probably even a purpose...but do we know what it is?
Have you done the work to really connect deeply with God's plan for you?
If so, have you gone even further and aligned your time, your calendar, and your life with that purpose?
Join me in this episode as David Buck shares both his story and his wisdom about this topic. Like many of us, God has regularly given David a radical turn in the "plan" of his life. As David learned to navigate these changes, he was better able to connect with his purpose and align his time to that purpose.
I invite you to listen to this episode and do likewise. It will change your life.
