253 - Power of Storytelling with Joseph Bolton
Catholic Life Coach For Men
We've all watched our children attend to a story. They love hearing stories - even (or perhaps especially) stories they already know. Stories penetrate our mental defenses. They help define who we are. We all have stories; sharing our them is important. Join me in the as my guest Joseph Bolton and I talk about his story that is captured in his new book.

252 - Loneliness with Terry Poplava
Catholic Life Coach For Men
Technology is amazing; it lets us do everything from our jobs to ordering food without ever leaving our home. That's great, right? Well, actually, it turns out that some new data shows that loneliness and depression are at record levels, particularly among the younger generations, and most particularly in men. Our parishes were supposed to be a place where we gather to connect, support, and reach each other. Instead, too many people pull a Judas - receive the sacrament and run away. Join me in the as my guest Terry Poplava discuss this survey data and some practical ideas about what...

249 - Good Politics in and out of the home
Catholic Life Coach For Men
While there's always been a wide diversity of ideas, our culture today seems particularly emotionally divided. It's hard to have a calm and constructive conversation with someone who thinks differently than you. What if these differences of though, perspective, and value were actually meant to help bring us together as people. What if they were an essential part of God's plan to find balance in a sinful world? Join me in the as I explain how political divide, at its core, is present in the Bible. It's a key part of God's salvation plan for mankind. We need to understand what's...

248 - Meadow Reports
Catholic Life Coach For Men
Have you ever noticed that women seem to be more eager to talk than men? Indeed, modern science suggests women on average use at least twice as many words in a day as men. It's one thing to know that - but as a husband, what do I do about it? Join me in this episode as I present a simple and fun concept about how marriage communication works: the Meadow Report. If you lean into and embrace giving your wife what she needs to feel loved and supported, she's way more likely to support you as well. Furthermore, it's what Christ calls us husband to do.

245 - Authentic Masculinity with Josh Tomeoni
Catholic Life Coach For Men
Have you ever noticed that sometimes what your wife says she wants isn't what she actually wants? While this is true for everyone, modern women are in a particular pinch about expressing what they want from a man. The truth is they simultaneously want a deep and powerful masculine presence from their man but are also scared of that masculinity. This can be a very confusing message to men - especially men who are not confident in their own masculinity. The solution is for you, the man, to both lean into authentic masculinity, but to do it in a way that remains true to you, and thus "safe." This...
