116 - Identity Part 2
Catholic Life Coach For Men
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...

115 - Identity Part 1
Catholic Life Coach For Men
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,...

114 - Money and Obedience with James Pollard
Catholic Life Coach For Men
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. You can learn more about James at...

Finding Harmony with Allen Paul

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

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. You can find more about Allen...

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.

110 - Healing your Identity with Keagen Hadley
Catholic Life Coach For Men
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...

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!

108 - The Power of your mind with Dr Vic Manzo
Catholic Life Coach For Men
Are you blaming someone or something else for that problem in your life? Most of us humans do a horrible job of really taking responsibility for the fact that God gave us the power to create our own futures. Most of us spend a lot of time being angry over something that deep down we really can fix. I want to invite you to stop being one of those people. Life really is that much better once you stop playing a victim - and you have that power in your mind right now. Join me in this episode as Dr. Vic Manzo and I discuss how powerful your mindset is. From the quantum level up to the macro level,...

107 - Excellence with Jonathon R Rivera
Catholic Life Coach For Men
You've probably heard the parable of the talents many times. We know that we're supposed to invest our talents wisely...but what does that mean? So many Catholics are afraid of wealth and success. What if the opportunities of the world distract us from God's call? But I think there is a deeper question that should be plaguing us - what if ignoring the opportunities God has given us actually is the distraction from God's call? Join me in this episode as Jonathon R Rivera and I discuss his journey from failure to success, and what he learned along the way. Most of all, we focus on how...
info_outlineWhat do you call a trip that doesn't accomplish any of the formal objectives, and ends in everyone getting COVID?
Most people wouldn't think so.
But what if we measure the success or failure using different metrics? What if we look at relationships built or friendships forged?
Join me in this episode as I share some stories and lessons from my elk trip. You don't need to be an elk hunter to appreciate them!
