Catholic, Single, and Flourishing (formerly 8th Day Coaching)

Take a listen to the podcast for an exciting announcement as I end the Catholic, Single, and Flourishing podcast!  Please be sure to download any episodes you haven't listened to yet as the podcast will disappear over the next several months (I am anticipating 5/31/24).

Originally entitled "How To Be The Light As A Catholic Single," this episode was recorded live at the SEEK Conference, FOCUS's annual conference. I once again worked with Jessica Navin of the "He Leadeth Me" podcast as we discussed the challenges and opportunities living life in our Catholic Christian single years.

Jessica Navin of the "He Leadeth Me" Podcast joins forces with me as we discuss a practical plan for Advent in preparation for the SEEK24 conference.

Help me help you! I am grateful to you for helping make Catholic, Single, and Flourishing podcast series a success. I have several more resources available for you to contribute to the ongoing success of Catholic, Single, and Flourishing.

In what ways does money impact every aspect of our lives?

What does money have to do with being effective in our single years? In this episode, using the help of Dave Ramsey's financial coaching principles, Chad discusses how mastering finance during your single years can prepare you for marriage. Mastering our finances is one way we as singles can pave our path for our God-inspired future.

What are the challenging patterns that Catholic singles habitually face? Dr. Mario Sacasa, marriage therapist and creator of the course Dating Well, joins the show to discuss love and relationships from a Catholic worldview. He discusses his course Dating Well, vulnerability, and the pressure and challenges in dating.

For Christians in dating, we can over-spiritualize things and just assume that God will bring you a spouse one day. Sure, prayer is an absolute necessity, however, if we are not actively meeting people and developing friendships, we can be left wondering why we have no dates. In this episode of Catholic, Single, and Flourishing, I share the "Strategy for the Highly Effective Catholic Single" based on Dr. Henry Cloud's book How To Get A Date Worth Keeping.

Damon Owens from Joyful Ever After interviews me about Catholic Singles Coaching on Catholic Match Live. Join me in this special edition episode!

How can I start preparing for marriage during my single years? One empowering way is to dive into understanding the Church's vision for love and relationships through the book Men, Women, and the Mystery of Love by Dr. Edward Sri. This episode discusses pertinent ways single people can move towards the vision of love.
