The BeatiDudes Beating Burnout with Brotherhood | Jack Beers | Episode #245
In this unforgettable episode of The BeatiDudes, the Dudes
are joined by Jack Beers, founder of The Catholic Mentor and the Integrated Life Foundation. What begins with a hysterical airport story involving a 4-year-old’s surprise ‘hug’ quickly turns into a deeply meaningful conversation about priestly burnout, spiritual direction, and the urgent need for emotional support in the Catholic Church.
Jack shares how his journey led him to become a certified Catholic mentor, trained in the principles of personalism and integrated human formation. He dives into the powerful work of supporting priests through daily, faithful accompaniment and why it matters now more than ever. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein also explore Jack’s passion for baseball, his roots in New Jersey, and a few unconventional gifts from Cracker Barrel, including a yodeling pickle.
This episode balances side-splitting laughter with soul-stirring wisdom.
Whether you’re a priest, parent, or just someone trying to make sense of life’s ‘wobble,’ this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and holy humor.
