If you had met John Edwards when he was in jail for possession of cocaine, you probably wouldn't have expected him to be changing lives as the leader of the men's group at his parish a few years later - let alone founding a nationwide men's ministry.
But you would have been wrong.
Because God used that experience of hitting rock bottom to redirect John's life onto a completely different trajectory.
The healing and conversion process he underwent led him to want to help other men do the same, and that's how Just a Guy in the Pew was born.
In today's Art of Catholic podcast, John shares stories and insights he's gained from guiding countless men to a deeper relationship with Christ.
But don't think for a second this is an episode only for men.
We hit topics that affect everyone like:
- Shattering the lies we tell ourselves
- Why isolation is the Devil's playground
- The most pressing problem haunting men (Listen up, ladies! You need to hear this.)
- The beautiful power of weakness
- Why community is absolutely essential for men & women
This is a must-listen episode for anyone longing for the deep joy that comes from an intimate relationship with God and the mystical body of Christ.
God bless,
Matthew
P.S. I've been in close contact with 206 Tours, the travel agency with which I partner for my Holy Land pilgrimages. They're expecting trips to begin again in just a few months and advised me to not give up any reservations because the demand will be so great.
So, if you want to join me to walk in the footsteps of Christ and experience the Bible come alive, reserve a spot on my 5 Star pilgrimage to Israel scheduled for March 30 - April 8, 2025. CLICK HERE to get more details about the trip.
