Today, Deacon Geoff is joined by Peter Giersch, a businessman and faithful Catholic author of several books, to discuss his latest work, Talking of Michelangelo (https://www.galileanonline.com/product/9798889116721).

Drawing from the life and work of Michelangelo, the conversation explores the intersection of art, faith, and the human soul. Peter reflects on how beauty, creativity, and the pursuit of excellence can draw us closer to God, while also pointing to deeper spiritual realities about suffering, redemption, and our ultimate purpose.

Deacon Geoff and Peter also speak candidly about the importance of remembering our mortality and how easy it can be to forget the reality of hell and the need to choose heaven in our daily decisions. Together, they emphasize that these truths—like the beauty found in great art—are timeless, continually calling us to live with intention, courage, and a desire for eternal communion with God.
