Coffee Talk With The Cajun Mamas: Skeat Thibodeaux Joins The Conversation
Manage episode 476034972 series 3592329
What does it mean to be a Cajun dad in today's world? Skeet Thibodeaux, owner of Thibodeaux's Paint and Finishing and our April sponsor, joins us for a profound conversation that peels back the layers of his multifaceted life.
The journey begins with Skeet's unexpected career path – from aspiring nurse to emergency medical technician to police officer. "When I got to policing, I felt like everything I had done in life had led me up to this point," he shares, offering rare glimpses into law enforcement realities. His candid reflections on seeing people at their worst moments and developing coping mechanisms to separate work from home life resonated deeply.
Our conversation takes a powerful turn when Skeet opens up about his Catholic faith journey. With remarkable vulnerability, he describes reconciling his parents' different religious approaches and his own path to understanding. "There can only be one truth," he reflects, explaining how Jeff Cavins' Bible Timeline helped him connect ancient sacrificial traditions to modern Catholic practices. His emotional explanation of how Christ fulfills both justice and mercy simultaneously became one of the episode's most touching moments.
Perhaps most moving is Skeet's story of returning to his family's painting business after initially declining to take it over. Now working alongside his father, he's racing to absorb decades of knowledge while creating a legacy of his own. His enthusiasm for transformative paint jobs – particularly the emerging trend of "color drenching" – reveals the passion behind his craft.
