Vision

Sons of Thunder is extending an invitation to help young men find their purpose in life. Every human heart longs for fulfillment, the problem is that most men simply do not know where to start. By combining aspirations for greatness with zeal for God, we tap into the well of unquenchable desire to act boldly and in a purposeful way. Our weekly podcasts and daily social media posts provide solutions to and encourage self-betterment that create a committed follower-base. Using the three tenets of faith, fellowship, and fitness as our foundation, Sons of Thunder addresses the most common concerns facing young men today.

Sean Healy

Hey guys, Sean here. I graduated from the University of St. Thomas in 2018 with a degree in Finance and currently work as a financial analyst at Ecolab. I'm super excited to be running with everyone of you and learning more about true masculinity. My goal is to grow closer to Christ each and every day and to encourage you to do the same! I do not agree with what society says about men and I want  to break all of those misconceptions about who you are. You are a SON and a loved one. Never forget that.

John Lucke

What’s in a name? We carefully chose to title our group with the words that Christ gave to his strongest followers. John lives as a Son of Thunder and takes the tenets of faith, fellowship, and fitness seriously in all aspects of life. John graduated from UST with degrees in Psychology, Exercise Science, and Catholic Studies. He currently works in journalism and development, aiming to spread the joy of the Gospel through the renewal of the temporal world. John is also earning his Juris Doctorate with a specialization in Constitutional Law. It’s true that "A smooth sea never makes for a skilled sailor"; God calls all of us to a heroic life, so let’s walk it together.

Jacob Mischke

Jacob is a recent graduate from the University of Saint Thomas (class of 2019) with a degree in Entrepreneurship and minor in Catholic Studies. Jacob currently represents the third generation of Mischke financial advisors at Mischke Financial Group, LLC. and also serves on the board for Founders Live Minneapolis which seeks to empower entrepreneurs around the Twin Cities.

Jacob describes Sons of Thunder as an avenue to share what it’s like to be a practicing Christian in a predominately secular society today: “There is no easy path. I get lost in the woods all the time and it can be quite humbling sharing that with our audience. Although following Christ is difficult and challenging, to actively pursue the Lord is the BEST way to live and WILL bring the most joy into the lives of all those who choose to do so.”

Eric Bromback

Hey guys, Eric here. I recently graduated from the University of St. Thomas with a double major in Communication & Journalism and Catholic Studies. Currently, I serve as the director of development at Camp Wojtyla, a Catholic Outdoor Adventure program for youth. After inviting Christ into everything that I do, my life has turned into an incredible adventure. I joined the Catholic Church in 2016 because I had truly experienced the freedom and healing that Christ has to offer in the Eucharist, and within the sacraments. My prayer is that God will continue to use Sons of Thunder to bring the freedom and healing of Christ into young men's lives. I'm super excited to share in this journey with my fellow brothers in Christ!
