The BeatiDudes Identity in Christ | Manny Gonzalez | Episode #279
The BeatiDudes, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein, welcome Catholic speaker and evangelist Manny Gonzalez for a candid and heartfelt conversation about identity, suffering, and the mercy of God. Manny shares his powerful journey from early confusion and hidden shame surrounding same sex attraction to a dramatic encounter with the Lord that reshaped his life. His story includes years of internal conflict, strained school experiences, and a pivotal moment of honesty with his parents that revealed the Father’s love in a profound way.
The Dudes explore what it means to move from fleeting happiness to lasting joy, how God meets us in the depths of our brokenness, and why authentic fraternity matters for every man pursuing holiness. Manny reflects on his time at Franciscan University, the mentors who walked with him, and the ongoing daily work of conversion and chastity. Through humor, humility, and spiritual honesty, this conversation highlights that the journey toward Christ is messy, beautiful, and meant to be shared in community.
