Catholic Life Coach For Men

So many men are slowly dying inside as they choose comfort or convenience over the greater calling that God has placed within their lives.

Mostly because that battle is scary! It will cost you greatly.

The cost to inaction, however, is actually greater.

Join me in this episode as I talk about how it takes a balance of both humility and magnanimity to counter pride. It takes a willingness to embrace discomfort as part of the pursuit of adventure that God has planned for your life.

You were made for greatness. You were made for battle. You were not made to simply exist.

Choose life!

Books often start with a prologue - but if you're at all like me, you don't always read them. Yet, they have the power to set the stage for the rest of the story. Similarly in life: rarely do we fully understand how important our thoughts are to what happens in our lives. The Bible does though! Not only does it understand how important the prologue is, it even gives us some really good ones to use.

In this episode we explore examples of how a prologue can radically change your understanding of a story. We connect that to our own thought processes, and how we can change what a story means and how we respond simply by changing what we think about it. We also discuss the devil's goal to tell his own prologue, and how to overcome that effort.

It's not common for an event to take over your life. In that list is frozen main water supply during winter. That's the story that starts this podcast episode.

It's funny how God takes away anything we choose over Him. While often extremely painful, it is effective at pointing out our entitlements.

Join me in this episode as I share how a really horrible week allowed me to improve my gratitude and humility. God's plans are sometimes painful, but to trust in Him is always the invitation.

Plus this is a pretty funny story.

There is no doubt that sexuality is a very hot and politically charged topic right now - both in the church and the culture in general. I have no doubt that some who listen to this episode will find something (or perhaps many things) I say offensive.

Nevertheless I have worked with too many Catholics who are struggling with SSA and too many Catholics who are not, but are unsure what to think or say about this issue.

Join me in this episode for a direct, open, and honest discussion about sexuality, sin, and the Catholic church. I approach this issue with charity for individuals - all individuals. While the teachings of the church are true and do not change, that does not justify the attack of character and judgement of personhood that we see rampant today. Christ treated all who earnestly sought holiness with tenderness and mercy - especially when they failed. We are called to no less.

I really would invite feedback from this episode. I suspect it will be a sensitive and emotional subject. We all need to take action to ensure both the preservation of truth along side the protection of individual dignity and personhood.

It's always been hard to be a parent of a large family. It's even harder these days.

The entire culture often seems aligned against us. Even our own church members often seem upset with large families during mass. It's often lonely, isolating, and so frustrating.

But you're not alone.

Join me in this episode as Nancy Bandzuch talks about the new show put out by the Augustine Institute called "The Catholic Parent." It will help you feel like you're not alone and also help you to be a better parent at the same time.
