Fixing the Disorder in Our Lives

Recognizing the disorder within our culture is the initial step toward rectifying the missteps, often subtle, within our individual lives. Today we discuss how the world is playing this out on a grand scale which culminates in seeing things and even people simply as a means to our own personal ends. In light of this, Dr. John Cuddeback engages with us to assert that we must first identify and be aware of this limited and disordered mindset to begin to re-order and improve our lives and those around us. However, it is not enough to speak of things in the abstract or philosophical sense, we bring this knowledge into the fabric of our daily lives and offer a number of actionable methods through which we can start living out our best life.Life Craft - https://life-craft.orgInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/lifecraft_johncuddeback/Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_k-11w5x6ivEem1z4eyOXwBook - True Friendship - https://ignatius.com/true-friendship-tfp🔴 🔴 Help Support Our Need for Professional Studio Equipment and get 3 Months of Free Access to CG+ - https://catholicgentleman.com/support🔴 Catholic Gentleman+ is Now Live - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Protestant Business Exec Becomes On-Fire Catholic

He believed that the Catholic Church was run by Satan, the whore of Babylon, and that the anti-christ would come directly from the papacy. Our guest today, Jeremy Robinson, fought against Catholics and evangelized to win souls to Christ. However, one day while reading the Scripture verse, "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have," he was struck and realized he could not answer this question to atheists or agnostics. It was the beginning of his journey to become Catholic.He is now on-fire to bring everyone to the Catholic Faith while running a full-service video production company that makes videos for Mercedes, Google, IBM, Canon, Gillette, Marriott, American Airlines, and many more.
