Description

There may have been an era in the history of the Church when Catholic teachers and preachers didn’t need to share anything really at all from their own lives in their talks. 

This is not that era. 

With all of the Church’s teachings available free of charge on that smart phone in your pocket, knowledge and information isn’t where we are lacking. 

But there is one thing that I can’t access on the internet - your story, your experience,  and your struggles to live as a disciple of Jesus. 

In my conversation today with Matt Regitz we went  deep into the how and why of this paradigm, the irreplaceable importance of vulnerability - of presenting not just Catholic truths in your talks, but granting brave access to how you are actually bringing those truths to every aspect of your life. 

After graduating from Texas A&M and pursuing an oilfield sales career Matt Regitz took a leap of faith and became the youth minster at his parish in Houston, Texas. The mission has grown to include parishes around the world as he serves as a global leadership coach with Divine Renovation Ministries. Matt and bride, Stephanie, started Survive and Thrive Ministries to share their story of healing and hope with other families. The rest of the Regitz clan, including their four kids at home and a daughter in heaven, Mary Clare, love soccer games, barbeques, minivan road trips, and the communal life.
