Catholic Life Coach For Men

In the "woke" environment, it's hard to lead as a guy. All around us there are forces trying to beat down strong male leadership under the guise of "safety."

But the Bible tells us that it's men's job to lead, right? How do we do it?

Join me in this episode as I bring on a leadership expert and coach Kevin Kepple to help walk through what we as men can do to really improve our leadership. He offers practical advice and creates a powerful vision for why it matters!

Knowledge of the death of a loved one is really hard. We often don't give ourselves the needed space to process those emotions.

In this mini episode I talk about a quote from St. Alphonsus Liguori, talking about how ignorance of the future is a great blessing that God gives us. I also talk about how to mourn an upcoming loss even before it has come.

If you are struggling with death or upcoming death in the family, I strongly encourage this episode!

This episode continues the discussion from Part 1 - make sure you've listened to that first!

If you believe you have a bad identity belief (and we all do!) then the natural question is, "how do I change it?" That's the question I'm going to tackle in this episode.

There are several steps to changing what we believe we are. While we can start by ourselves, ultimately we always want to bring God into that process.

Join me in this episode as I give several concrete steps to change your beliefs about who, what, and whose you are. This is an incredibly powerful tool that will help you conquer whatever actions in your life you don't like.

One of the most common problems I find in my coaching clients that is hiding underneath troubling behaviors is a bad "identity" statement.

Most of us confuse previous actions with who we are - our identity. This is toxic.

When a man believes that he is "broken," "not enough," or "bad" his ability to behave well is severely limited.

Join me in this episode as I break down why our identity is so critical to our lives and our ability to make progress. This is the most common issue I find with guys who are unable to give up some problematic behavior. If you seem to be unable to change something, there very well may be a bad identity statement at the core.

If you're like most men, God's plan for "your" money may not be something you want to think about.

It often feels like money is tight; we don't have enough to give away to everyone who claims they need it!

Yeah, the Old Testament says to tithe ten percent...but who really does that anyways?

Join me in this episode as James Pollard and I really open up a Biblical view on money. We talk about various ways that God intends for money to be used, and how important it is to discern your particular calling. Most of all, we talk about how to surrender control to God.

Walking the Christian faith is hard for anyone these days and all too often we're alone.

We weren't meant to be alone, we're meant to have brothers (and sisters!) beside us, cheering us on towards the finish line. The world and the devil are out to destroy us - and distraction is enough!

Join me in this episode as Mr. Allen Paul and I compare our journeys of Faith with significantly different temperaments. The conversation is real, vulnerable, and sometimes gut-wrenching. 

We talk about how important it is to find harmony in our lives and our relationships.

Let's face it. The two things that tend to cause the most amount of tension and high emotions in our lives? Sex, and Money.

As Christians, aren't we supposed to dislike money?

Isn't the love of money the root of all evil?

How DO we as Christians use money in the right way?

In this episode I am joined by Mr. Brandon Neely, and we explore not only his amazing story with money, but how he advises Christians to build wealth for the glory of God.

It's hard to love your spouse. If you're married - you know this already. There comes a point in every marriage where love ceases to be a feeling, and must become a choice.

This episode is a little bit different. I'm joined by Kathleen Donnelly Israel, and our conversation moves from her lessons in marriage, to caring for her medically challenged husband, to her experience on the Camino de Santiago.

She shares wisdom and perspective from each phase of life. For husbands who want to better understand their wives, I recommend listening!

It's surprisingly easy to define ourselves by what we do. Most of us do! Not only is this not healthy, it sets us up for some major confusion when our job changes.

This may at first seem trivial, but I've worked with many clients who have what is called an "identity wound." Common ones include "I'm broken," "I'm not enough," and "I'm not really a man."

Often, we cling to our job as a replacement for this deeper identity problem. This doesn't work.

Join me in this episode as Dr. Keagen Hadley explores his own broken identity. It doesn't seem like a torn ACL would be an event needing psychological intervention, but when it destroyed his ability to be who he thought he was, things became dark. Using a new type of ACT therapy, he fought back and earned his freedom.

Holidays are rough. The statistics are clear, most people have the most negative emotions during the holidays.

Ironic, eh? The devil does a good job ruining our "holy-days."

But what if it didn't have to be that way?

Do you want to have a "peaceful" holiday?

If so, I encourage you to listen to this episode as I offer six practical ways to transform your holiday experience. I'm not promising they'll be easy - or even comfortable! Instead though, they bring you closer to God and thus closer to peace.

I wish you the best holiday season; celebrate the birth of our Lord and the celebration of Our Lady with joy and peace!
