Testimonials

 

Mike was great! His enthusiasm, his engaging stories, and strong challenges energized the men who attended our Conference. I could see that his passion for Christ was genuine, and he made me want to take my walk with the Lord up a notch. Mike has that kind of energy that is infectious.

David Glasgow, Chairman Venice Men’s Conference

I just wanted to thank you for coming, and your dynamic presentation to our young people, parents and sponsors. You speak from your heart and left an impact on ours.

Jackie Bieber, Deanery DRE, Diocese of Springfield

We did a lot of searching for our event before we found Mike Pacer. He is a dynamic and engaging speaker. The gathering of men at our Lenten prayer breakfast were touched by his inspiring story and heartfelt message of Christ’s love and mercy for us.

Representative talks

 

Giving it all to God.

Mike shares his journey from living a life of duplicity (trying to live a holy life while firmly grasping onto many sins and worldly allurements) toward a life of surrender to God. Mike shares how he slowly “let go” of various things in his life – money, possession, family, even his identity – and “gave them” to God. And, how in doing so, Mike discovered God’s great generosity and experienced a new-found joy and peace. While sharing his story, Mike invites his audience to reflect upon their lives and discern what they need to let go of and surrender to God.

Mercy and Merit.

This talk addresses the shame and guilt that hang over so many of us due to our failures and perceived unworthiness before God. It dispels the ever-present voice telling us that we must earn God’s love.  This talk expresses the power of the message of Divine Mercy and imparts hope.

God loves me… So what?

This talk seeks to “blow away” listeners by the communicating the reality of God’s love – what it is; what it means for each of us; how we can and must accept it to be transformed; what our lives might look like as we begin to better embrace God’s love for us.

The Good Catholic Man.

This talk challenges men to embrace their deepest identity – that of a beloved son of God. It promotes an authentic, masculine spirituality that flows from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The talk challenges men to truly be men – as God intended – not as misrepresented by a warped secular society. It suggests the implementation of “plan of life” which promotes personal holiness and peace and the sanctification of family and friends.

Prayer – Him, Me, We.

In seeking to foster a better understanding of and love for prayer, this talk takes the audience right to the heart of authentic Christian prayer – its divine origin, its identity and its goal. This talk is not an intellectual discussion of the history of prayer. Nor is it a “commercial” for any particular school of spirituality. Rather, the goal of this talk is to help Christians to know and love God better through a deeper understanding of prayer.

He Said/She Said: Equal, but different in our approach to God.

A joint presentation by Mike & his wife Lori sharing their journey toward understanding each other and embracing a shared spirituality and a life in ministry.

The Catholic Identity Crisis – “Liberal,” “Conservative,” or Something Else?

Many years have passed since Vatican II and Catholics are still confused as to what Vatican II said and what it means to be Catholic today. This talk explains the identity and role of the lay Catholic as envisioned in Vatican II documents and suggests how the average “person in the pew” might come to better comprehend
