I've got a great episode today with my trusty, occasional cohost, Connor Flanagan, and we talk about a “seven day spiritual prep plan” that you can do ahead of the SEEK conference or ahead of any conference or retreat that you're getting ready to go into.

So seven days of different spiritual activities before the conference starts so that your conference experience, the spiritual moment in your life. can really, kind of be maximized so as to make a transformation and a change in your life after the conference. So the work we're putting in now is really for our future selves.

So that's what we're diving into today.

Here’s a link to the PDF Overview of the “Seven Day Spiritual Prep Plan for SEEK”

And this episode is, is also being released on the Seek podcast. So please check that out.

You may not realize it, but the truth is, inside of you are an unlimited number of great stories to tell. For some people, a rare few actually, this is self-evident - stories just seem to flow out as easily as the next breath. For most, though, it’s a slog - we either keep coming back to the same stories over and over OR we try to come up with new ones, but just can’t seem to recall anything worth sharing. This is a pain point for people giving talks on a regular basis - BECAUSE stories can often make or break the talks we give.

And today, I brought in two expert storytellers, Chris Kostelc and Kory LaCroix. Each have served in ministry at the Parish level for the last 15 years. Legends really, around here in the Twin Cities Catholic world. And they started a podcast over a year ago called “STORYDRAM” - telling stories to lead others to THE story of what God has done for us in Christ.

We’ve got a hot one here folks! So many people are asking the question nowadays “How do I get into Catholic speaking?” or “How do I become a Catholic speaker?” and so often the line from Jeff Goldblum’s character in Jurassic Park comes to mind in response. He famously says to the owner of Jurassic Park - "your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should”

And that’s where my conversation with Marcel LeJeune goes right at the question of whether or not you OUGHT to pursue a career as a Catholic Speaker.

Marcel LeJeune is the President and Founder of Catholic Missionary Disciples.

As a Catholic evangelist, international speaker, and award-winning author, Marcel loves to share his greatest passion - helping others come to know the love of Jesus and how to share that love with others.

Previously Marcel served as the Associate Director of Campus Ministry at St. Mary's Catholic Center at Texas A&M University for 11 years, and before that he was the Director of Campus Ministry at St. Elizabeth's University Parish at Texas Tech University. He holds a Master of Theological Studies, specializing in Pastoral Theology.

The most important part of his life, and his vocation, is being a husband and father. Marcel and his wife, Kristy, have five children.
