Guest: Marcus Grodi, founder and president, Coming Home Network, Intl.

The name Marcus Grodi might be familiar to many Catholics, as he founded and led a highly successful ministry called The Coming Home Network, helping other pastors discover the fullness of the Catholic Church. Marcus focused his first 20 years on himself. Then, he experienced a life-changing conversion in college and spent his next 20 years studying Jesus, becoming a Calvinist pastor. When Marcus reconnected with former college buddy, Scott Hahn, he converted to Catholicism and his next 20 years were spent trailblazing within Catholic circles, offering non-Catholics a new vision for their future.

When he retired and moved to his wife’s family farm, Marcus thought contentment was retirement’s natural landscape. Instead, he realized contentment is a choice he still needed to develop. His book, “Learning Contentment: Finding Peace Right Where You Are,” is the result of his journey, where he learned to stop focusing on contentment tomorrow by choosing contentment today. Discovering that gratitude is the foundation for contentment, Marcus devised nine chapters, each one dealing with an important aspect of learning contentment. For example, living with simplicity or paying down debt can be huge relief valves for pent-up stress. Learning contentment means finding peace right where you are.

Guest biography: Marcus received his BS degree from Case Institute of Technology (CWRU) in Polymer Engineering and a Master of Divinity Degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
