Catholic Life Coach For Men

I've spoken before about the story of where and how I grew up. I've mentioned parts of how I found the faith.

But how did I find the Catholic church amidst all that hurt?

Join me in this episode as I tell the story of my journey to the faith. It's a bit dark at moments, and definitely far from perfect, but I think it's a powerful story.

So many of us have the idea that we're on the Godly path, but are afraid to surrender that last little bit.

We give *almost* everything, and can sometimes fail to notice that there's something left to give.

Yet God will often bring us a juncture in life where we are directly confronted to our need to surrender even that last bit.

Join me in this episode as Aaron Guyett shares his story about how he was a great warrior and had everything but God, but really had nothing at all. He shares his story and journey from an identity based on the world, to one based on God.

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.

Most of us are pretty negative in our own heads. We tend not to speak kindly to ourselves. At first glance, that might not seem that important, right?

What if I claim to you that how you speak to yourself is actually critically important to the success and peace of your family?

Join me in this episode as I discuss the responsibility and power we husbands and fathers have to create and point towards the good via our words. You are made in the image and likeness of God. Your words, spoken and unspoken, are creative! What sort of future are you creating?

This inner voice can be either demonic or angelic. One leads to darkness, destruction, and grinding of teeth. The other leads your family closer towards heaven.

Which will you choose?

Marriage is hard.

I sometimes wonder if I should dedicate an entire series to "How To Improve Your Marriage." It is in many ways a lynchpin to your entire success and happiness.

The second most important part of your life is your marriage. As a husband, you have a duty to your wife and family that is higher than that to anyone other than God. Do not accept mediocrity!

Join me in this episode as Christian Marriage Coach Kelly Dupee and I discuss our coaching work with Christian marriages. He provides some practical advice for real ways you can step up your game as a husband and better love your wife. This is critical work for all of us husbands, we all need to do better!

This is likely the first of several conversations! You can find out more about Kelly Dupee and get a reduced price on his book at his website: https://turnitup.coach/

Let's be honest. Most of us men are not leading our wives well. Most of us struggle to lead our children to the dinner table, let alone manage the complicated balance of large family leadership!

What if I gave you a secret to one aspect of leadership that could help you improve in other areas as well?

One of the least understood leadership directions I find in the men I work with is the leadership into fun.

Join me in this episode as I explore what it means to lead our wives and family into fun and novelty. I'll discuss some practical tips to get started no matter where you are in the journey currently. Trust me, it really can be fun!

If you cannot lead your family into fun, where else do you think will be able to manage leading them?

We live in a rough time. Despite all the knowledge, grace, and blessings that come from being a Christian, many of us regularly fall radically short of the mark. We miss opportunities to really show a deep and powerful love to our spouses, our children, and our communities.

We're so focused on the hyper rational that we've lost site that God's love isn't rational. And ours isn't supposed to be either.

Join me in this episode as Dr. Bill Senyard returns to the show. We have a fantastic discussion that drifts across topics of parenting, surrender, and how to counter the effects of the modern culture. At the core of our discussion is God's crazy, irrational love for us, and how we can in turn share that love with others.

If we are not filled with God's love, we cannot truly share love with others.

So many people think "weight loss" is just about a diet.

We also think that being "overweight" is just a problem for another day.

But what if underneath our wide-spread problem with weight is a series of crippling fears, doubts, and stories that are dragging down many parts of our lives, not merely our trousers.

Weight loss isn't about looking good. It's about living a life of freedom, free to pursue what God made you for!

Join me in this episode as my guest Alan Thomas explores his own story with weight loss, and outlines how he helps Christian men everywhere finally break free from the chains of being overweight or even obese. He doesn't tell anyone what to eat or what exercise to do. He simply confronts the stories we tell ourselves that are keeping us from living as free as God intends.

Our Lord explicitly commands us to "forgive," but it's stinkin' hard! We know we should do it, but we often don't know how - not even how to start.

Yet what if this seemingly impossible task is actually the key to unlocking our greatest desires and needs in relationships?

Forgiveness can heal marriages, restore friendships, connect with lost loved ones, and open the channels to God's grace to flow into every part of our lives.

Yet we fight it so hard!

Join me in this episode as I explore this God-given superpower we all have. I discuss what is it, what it means, and how we can use it. Forgiveness is a critical part of our Christian life that we neglect at our peril!

So many of us are hurting badly right now. This decade may well be remembered as the decade when emotional wounds and pain reached an all time high. All too often, we struggle ever more to fill that painful gap with anything at all that we hope will make us feel better.

Money. Alcohol. Success. Sex. Porn. Gambling. Whatever it is.

It doesn't work. It just slowly bleeds us dry until we come up against the inevitable wall of our own inadequacy.

Join me in this episode as Massimo Rigotti shares his amazing story of success, addiction, fall, and miraculous recovery. His story is powerful and compelling, I encourage you to really listen. He shares how God reached down into his broken life to give him another chance. He also offers these tools to you.
