The current crisis of masculinity is rampant in our society, but few have responded to this cultural moment like Mike Pacer in his new book “Prayers for Catholic Men.” Instead of encouraging men to simply gut it out and take responsibility, Mike encourages men to fall on their knees, and he provides them with the resources to encounter God in a meaningful and profound way. “Prayers for Catholic Men” not only teaches men how to pray, but it provides many unique and personal prayers that men at any stage in their life will resonate with.
In this episode, Andrew Petiprin sits down with Mike Pacer to talk about the common struggles men encounter when praying and what resources they can use to strengthen their spiritual life.
