Catholic Life Coach For Men

Bringing our faith into our workplace is scary.

We all know how much "those people" are ignored and overlooked for future promotion.

But didn't Christ say to spread the gospel everywhere?

Join me in this episode as I am joined by Mr. Steven Harris to explore many different facets of how our faith can connect to our businesses. Steven is an entrepreneur at heart who loves the Lord. This episode is also a great demonstration of how a Catholic and a Protestant can find common ground!

Steven has started the Kingdom of God Entrepreneur program. You can check out his podcast and what he offers at his website!

We're all busy. Most of us feel overwhelmed...a lot!

Trying to balance everything that needs to get done for the job, family, wife, etc. often feels impossible.

So what do we do?

Join me in this episode as I meet Blaine Oelkers, the expert on getting results. He gives us tons of practical advice about how to get more done and have a way more positive experience going through it.

Grab a pen and paper, because the ideas, tips, and tricks come fast in this episode!

We all know the joke - Protestants know the Bible better than Catholics. Sadly, to some extent, it's true.

Reading the Bible is actually pretty hard; especially if you start from page 1 and try to go straight through.

But it doesn't have to be. What if that isn't the best way?

I am joined in this episode by Mr. Michael Ward, a protestant who has put together a different way to read the Bible. He challenges us to get to know the scripture better - and through it, to get to know Our Lord and the Spirit better too!

You can find out more about Michael Ward at his website:

Note: As a Catholic, of course I do not agree with Martin Luther's "Sola's" but I love how Michael Ward approaches reading the Bible!

We all know the story - the good thief and the bad thief. One goes to heaven that day. The good thief sounds pretty cool, right?

Think again.

I suggest to you that this was a pretty terrible dude - the sort you would never even want to go to a bar with because he might kill you!

Furthermore, you're a lot more like him than you might want to admit!

Join me in this episode as I discuss what it means to be like the good thief on the cross, what that means, and how to take that in as we get ready to go into the Triduum.

The great mass spanning Holy Thursday to Easter Vigil is a unique opportunity not only to renew our faith, but to deepen our understanding of what God has done in our lives. Don't waste it!

The topic of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity is a pretty divisive one right now.

Abstractly, we all know that a diverse set of perspectives is helpful, but we also each have horror stories of how policies in the DIE name have been rammed down corporate throats causing destruction.

How can we, both as Christians and as open-minded men, maximize the good while avoiding the sludge of politics?

Join me in this episode for something a little bit different. I've invited a DEI leader on for an honest, direct, but respectful conversation. There's a little bit of tension, but we find some common ground that I hope will be pretty persuasive.

Dr. Ray Arata is a leading DEI expert and a he's a man committed to the second greatest commandment. How do these mix? Join me to find out.

Failure is painful!

Feelings of rejection and inadequacy are rarely counted as our favorite moments.

But what if they are actually essential?

Join me in this episode as Dr. Eli Joseph and I discuss how failure and rejection actually form the basis of your future success. Even though they are painful, they can provide you the secrets to achieving what you really want.

We discuss how building a "resume" of all your failures and rejections can also highlight what skills and strengths you have gained. Every negative moment can be rephrased as a positive - and the goodness that was brought into your life can be found.

Eli has an infectious enthusiasm and you will leave this episode feeling better about your life - no matter how you have failed or fallen!

It's hard to really live as a Catholic in our harsh secular world. Real displays of authentic Christian ardor are often punished - both at work and in social settings.

So how do we love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and might while living in this world?

Join me in this episode as I bring in George Manassa, host of the Catholic Toolbox, as an expert to help answer exactly that question. Speaking to us from the future (in Australia it's a day ahead!), he tells us about his resources to help live an authentic Catholic life in todays' crazy world.

Movies are powerful. They can connect to the deepest part of our emotional and spiritual selves. When movies sneak in "progressive" agendas, however, it's easy to question if there is any good at all.

But are all movies bad?

What would Jesus want to watch with you?

Join me in this episode as Phil and I go over how movies can be an opportunity to draw closer to Jesus, rather than further. The fundamental elements of story so often point directly to the Gospel, if you know how to look at them.

Lent has just started, and most of us are already struggling with whatever we gave up.

Worse, I'm grumpier to my wife and kids!

Why is it so hard to just do something different for 40 days? Why do we struggle and spend so much effort to do just one little thing?

If you want to make a real change, you need to do a lot more than just "try harder" - you need to think better. You need to explore your deepest and core beliefs. They shape who you become.

Join me in this episode as I discuss how to really make this a powerful Lent - how to really make real and lasting change that you can be proud of. It's worth it!

"What do you do with something that is broken?" If you are like most first-world people, the answer is simple. "Throw it away..."

What does that mean if I am broken? Does God then throw me away? Or is there something better that He has planned?

Join me in this episode as I interview John Jarman and hear his amazing story of how God transformed his brokenness. No matter how terrible your past, God still has a plan for you.

John has written an upcoming book about his story that should be an amazing tool for all of us who doubt in God's redemptive power for our own life. You can read about it on his website:

The book is also coming to online book sellers, available later this year.
