Behind every idea, project, and dream — there is grace.

In this episode of JOSh Friends, Joel Barquez, entrepreneur, coffee enthusiast, and owner of Space iO Coworking, reflects on “Place Me With Your Son” by Michael Delos Reyes — a book that explores how Jesuit devotion to Mary has shaped Filipino spirituality through the centuries.

For Joel, the line “Place me with your Son” is more than a prayer — it’s a call to presence. He shares how running a coworking space taught him that what truly makes a place come alive are the people who show up — and how faith, like work, thrives when we choose to be present.

Join us as we rediscover the beauty of Marian devotion — not just in history, but in the quiet, daily “yes” we give to God.
