Don’t Stay Stuck
Jack Beers, speaker, founder of The Catholic Mentor
Every child dreams of becoming a successful adult with good, healthy relationships. Then life collides with dreams and they struggle, often stuck or aimlessly wandering without a rudder. As a young man, Jack Beers saw the incredible difference it made when a priest accompanied him on his spiritual journey. His direct accompaniment, even to the point where the priest’s challenge put an exclamation point on Jack’s level of commitment, solidified Jack’s determination to help others in much the same way.
Still a young father today, Jack’s passionate determination led him to seek out a program through The Catholic Psych Institute to be trained to accompany individuals through the storms of life by integrating sound psychology and authentic Catholic anthropology. This led Jack to create The Catholic Mentor whereby he helps people become the man or woman God created them to be. Jack explains how his program, unlike a spiritual director or life coach, provides daily, one-on-one accompaniment with an intensity that not only helps his clients discover their hidden obstacles, but challenges them to integrate God into their lives in order to eradicate those obstacles. In this way, his clients can achieve true healing in a spiritual, emotional, and physical way.
Jack’s father is Jewish and his mother is Episcopalian, which he jokingly says led him to be a “confused Jew” by his teen years. Enticed to attend a Catholic Mass by a girlfriend at 17, Jack had a supernatural encounter which led him to explore the Catholic Church, finally entering in 2012. He and his wife, Katie, have three children, ages four, two, and a newborn.
