In this robust conversation, Jack Beers shares his deeply personal journey of overcoming a devastating Crohn’s disease diagnosis and the heroic, faith-fueled love of his mother that changed everything.
With raw honesty and spiritual depth, Jack reflects on the influence of St. John Paul II and Viktor Frankl in shaping his understanding of suffering, identity, and personal transformation. His story is not one of miraculous healing, but of interior renewal, choosing a new story, a new song, and a new self, even when nothing externally seemed to change.
The BeatiDudes explore:
How every choice shapes your soul, shrinking or expanding it
The impact of Jack’s mother’s fierce love and prophetic challenge
Why “incurable” is not a declaration, but a dare
Drawing meaning from suffering through love, service, and attitude
What forgiveness bracelets have to do with Jack’s journey
How to co-create your future self with God, even in an ordinary job
This episode with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein is rich with insight, encouragement, and practical wisdom for anyone navigating difficulty, doubt, or disillusionment. It’s a masterclass in personalism, discipleship, and hope in action.
