225 - Confront the fears that separate us from God
Catholic Life Coach For Men
The most common instruction in the Bible is "do not be afraid," yet we humans are frequently fearful and worrisome. What's worse is that often we don't even recognize the deeper fears. These are the fears that cause us to pull back from God. Most men suffer from one of the following three fears: God has some limit. I'm too bad or broken for God to love My choices are too terrible for God to love Intellectually we may deny it - intellectually we know those aren't true. But deep down that fear can drive us to live our lives in a way that keeps us away from the Lord. Join me in this episode as...

We all know humility is important, but it isn't easy! Particularly in an age where comparisons are forced down our throat by every app and social media source. How are we to respond? In this episode I continue the discussion about humility by exploring the last section of the Litany of Humility. In episode six I talked about the dangers of comparisons; in this episode I go into the specific lines. I strongly encourage listening to the previous episodes before this one!

220 - Humility Part 6 - CompariSIN
Catholic Life Coach For Men
Comparison is the thief of joy. Even if we men don't speak our comparisons out loud very often, they still destroy our joy and happiness in life. They take a gift of God that is so good, and make us so terribly unhappy about it. Join me in this episode as I walk through the danger of comparisons and how to steal your joy back. Imagine a kid with a scoop of icecream who just watched another child walk by with three scoops. It takes a lot of work to not lose that joy. But, by the grace of God, you can beat comparisons. Oh, and comparisons are actually a sneaky form of pride. As if pride wasn't...

219 - Humility Part 5 - Indirect Wound Fears
Catholic Life Coach For Men
The Litany of Humility is one of the hardest prayers to pray and actually mean. Everyone groans when they first read it. This is a series designed to help us men through this litany and help us find humility. Join me in this episode as I continue to work through the various parts of the Litany of Humility. In this episode, I break apart the indirect (or invisible) fears we all have. I talk about how important it is to accept that others will hurt us and not to take offense. Instead, we must remember that Vengeance is for the Lord. We are simply to accept, forgive, and keep loving. This...

218 - Christian Response to Problems with Dr Mark Teague
Catholic Life Coach For Men
A man who enters the world will encounter problems. This is unavoidable. As soon as one is solved, another rises up. Over time this can be extremely frustrating. It's tempting to just start blaming - other people, events, and even God. When a man turns to blame and plays a victim, his life only gets worse. If he continues, he ends up with a life not worth living. Don't believe the lies of the world. Join me in this episode as Dr. Mark Teague and I dive into a discussion of how to respond to life's problems. Do you accept that there are problems and you need to work to solve them, or do you...

217 - Humility Part 4 - Direct Wound Fears
Catholic Life Coach For Men
Emotional attacks hurt. They cause wounds that can fester for decades if left alone. Worse, we men are particularly bad at dealing with emotional pain. It's not a surprise that we do not like the Litany of Humility. It's painful to even think about! Deep down, however, we need it. Rather than hiding, drinking, or turning to some pleasure, the Christian journey is to endure and accept suffering of all types - even emotional. But how do we do it? Join me in this episode as I explore the next part of the litany of humility - the invitation to not be afraid of emotionally painful treatment. I walk...

216 - Humility Part 3 - Indirect Goods
Catholic Life Coach For Men
The most dangerous part of Pride is how often it hides itself behind seemingly well intentioned lies. Being consulted is a good thing. Being preferred because you've worked hard is also a good thing. The desire of these, however, is not. This does not make sense right away. It's not obvious why this should be so. Join me in this episode as I discuss the danger of the desires to be consulted and preferred. These do not sound like bad things - and in fact are not. The danger is in the desire, but it's subtle. We intellectually know that the church's teachings are true, but they can be hard to...
info_outlineWe all have things we do that we wish we didn't. Things we're ashamed of. Things we don't want anyone to know about.
We're desperate to change, but no matter how hard we try we simply cannot escape!
This is where coaching is so different!
- Different from therapy, just "dealing" with the effects!
- Different from self-help books, you need a guide!
- Different from going alone, your coach has your back!
Join me in this episode as Joseph Warren, another well established coach, talks about how he works.
We start with a discussion about anger, and how men can deal with anger. We quickly move on to the nature of how coaching works, and why it is just so different!
Joseph describes the problems in our heads as "rocks." He invites us all to get a coach and blow up these rocks that are not only keeping us from our dreams, but even threatening what we hold dear.
