Catholic Life Coach For Men

While it's not universal, it is very common for a husband to want to have physical connection to his wife - and a strong one. But a lot of us go through periods where that connection is less strong. Often we just "soldier on" and hope it gets better.

Often times, we try to ask our wife what she wants to feel better connected - only to become discouraged when what she suggested doesn't actually work.

Sometimes a guy will just accept that this is his "cross" to carry and (grudgingly) "accept" it.

After all, isn't abstinence kind of like fasting? That's good, right?

Join me in this episode as I break open why it's so important for husbands to be constantly engaged in improving themselves for the sake of their marriage. Physical intimacy can often be an indicator of where the husband has stopped working on himself. While there are genuine times we are called by the Lord to periods of abstinence, that's no reason to accept it when it's not necessary and give up.

We must always be working on ourselves, to become our best version. Connection - all connection - matters in marriage.

One of the most common desires of married men is for more physical intimacy with their wives. There are countless "solutions" offered, often by the wives themselves, that don't really seem to deliver.

It's easy for a husband to find this frustrating, maybe even infuriating; why can't we just solve this and both be happy?

What if female attraction actually does exist, but doesn't work at all like male attraction?

Join me in this episode as I discuss the nature of female sexual attraction from a scientific perspective. What will actually activate our wives' attraction? My claim is even if they don't know, we can put a few pieces together.

I walk through the biology of what females are biologically programmed to look for, compared to what men are programmed to look for.

This episode is likely the first of several exploring the question of how men can improve themselves in order to improve their physical connection with their wives.

God has a unique plan for every person - but so often we get in the way.

Everyone has stories we tell ourselves that get in the way of God's plan, but men tend to bury our stories more deeply and are less likely to share them than our feminine counterparts.

If we don't, however, we get stuck in anxiety. Trapped in our fears and lack of trust.

Join me in this episode as Justin Janowski shares the story of his journey and how God lead him from the deep wilderness of Alaska into sales and entrepreneurship. Along the way Justin had to challenge his own bad stories and learn to trust. Justin gives us some practical advice to use in our own struggle for truth and trust.

When we're trying to succeed at work, we read books, we find great resources, and constantly struggle to find success. Yet, when it comes to our families, too many guys just accept "good enough."

What if we approached leading our family with the same strategies and mindsets as we run our businesses?

Can you imagine how much better things might turn out if we were willing to take the risk?

There's a lot of guys being crushed by addictions right now. Statistically, if you're not one of them, you know at least one. The kingdom of God is under assault like never before.

Although an addiction can feel absolutely overwhelming, there is hope. You can find help, freedom, and finally a sense of peace. I encourage you to be decisive - act today, either for yourself or for a friend you know is struggling!

Join me in this episode as Doug Sweeney shares his amazing story of how a poor father lead Doug into years of addiction. Things kept getting worse until Doug ended up in jail.

A lot of guys struggle to believe that they can actually hear God's will for their lives. It's easy to lose heart and drift when we lose this connection.

But what if it was easier to connect with God than we've been lead to believe?

What if there was a guided process that would help you better align your life with God's plan? What if it was easy and simple?

Join me in this episode as Daniel Krynzel outlines his Walking With God process. He tells his story of how even though he had everything money could buy, he had a huge hole in his heart. This was only filled when he learned how to listen to God and put His plan into practice - even when it was unexpected!

Fatherhood can sometimes feel very heavy - you are literally trusted with the future care of these little souls God sends to you.

Our society does not do a great job recognizing the role of "dad," nor does it reward those dads who do a great job. Fatherhood is largely a silent job - but that doesn't mean it's not important.

All of us need help do be the best dad we can possibly be - which is what our children need!

Join me in this episode as RJ Campbell and Dustin Hoog describe their project Balanced Business Dad, and what they do to help dads everywhere "Dad up!" It's a challenge all of us need

There's many types of health, and it's often very difficult to know how to actually be healthy.

It's easy to get overwhelmed by all the different opinions - especially when they keep changing!

But that's not an excuse to just give up. Our bodies are a temple of the Lord, and we are required to honor Him by caring for that temple.

Join me in this episode as Julian Hayes II talks about how he coaches men to take control of their health and find a plan that works uniquely for them. We talk about a lot of practical steps that any man can implement to become more healthy - to become a better version of himself.

So many of us had bad experiences with Christians (or at least know of people who did.) These can really make a major negative impact in our journey towards Christ.

By contrast, we often can be strongly influenced for the good by even the littlest acts of service. One act of kindness can forever change the path of our life.

Join me in this episode as Matt Shoup shares how he found Jesus while in handcuffs in the back of a police car. Although he is now a renowned business expert, Matt shares his journey of faith and how God slowly reached Matt's heart through repeated small acts of kindness. Matt shares practical ways to serve others to both improve your business and spread the Gospel.
