274 - Focus on Good with Jai Roza
Catholic Life Coach For Men
I really did not know what title to give to this episode. I probably chose poorly. How does one capture the story of a man who goes from the edge of committing suicide to fully surrendering everything to the Lord in something as short as a title? Hopefully you'll be willing to listen anyways! Join me in the as Jai Roza and I explore the story of his life: from the edge of suicide in the middle of demonic cult to finding truth in the Bible while smoking marijuana, to surrendering even the smallest parts of life to Him. This is less of a "themed" discussion and more like a campfire chat...

273 - The Heart with Greg Pai
Catholic Life Coach For Men
I know there's a lot of talk in the "self-help" environment about passion and purpose. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the noise. This is not the first expert I've interviewed on this topic. I think it's important to keep listening to different perspectives because they all speak to us slightly differently. This is an extremely important part of our journey as a man, and as a Catholic. God gave us a heart that is intended to guide and fuel our walk through life! Join me in the as Greg Pai and I explore the topic of passion, purpose, and meaning as a man. We walk through our own...

271 - Finances with David Nassief
Catholic Life Coach For Men
Most of us are not trained on how to really build wealth. Some men are blessed with resources (at least at times), but often they do not know how to use those resources to truly build wealth. In the parable of the 5, 2 and 1 talents, the man who does not build them into wealth does not have a happy outcome. Do you want that fate? Join me in the as David Nassief shares his story and how God allowed him to learn how to really build wealth and invest in his future.

269 - God Science and the Heart with Douglass Ell
Catholic Life Coach For Men
One of the biggest lies the devil has pulled over our society is that "Science" and "Religion" are somehow incompatible. They actually align perfectly. In fact, the deeper you dig into scientific knowledge, the more evidence you discover of the existence of God. Join me in the as Douglass Ell and I talk about our journeys through scientific truth to find God. We talk about how while the truth is overwhelming, it is also intellectual. The deeper conversion must include the heart also. We talk about our own fears and painful experiences on this journey. We talk about how we still...

268 - Beyond Love and Respect with Emerson Eggerichs
Catholic Life Coach For Men
I'm really excited for this episode. I can honestly I've been looking forward to this discussion since his email first reached my inbox. Early in my marriage, someone introduced me to the book Love and Respect by Emerson Eggerichs. This book is a game-changer in the seemingly impossible crazy cycle of marital conflict. This book has been the foundation of much of the coaching work I've done in both mine and others' marriages. Emerson has yet another new book that is the culmination of his research and thought. I got a chance to talk to him about it! It's called Lightbulb...

267 - Abolition of Man Book Review
Catholic Life Coach For Men
Yeah, another publication protesting against the dangers of relativism. It's easy to let this topic pass, simply claiming to know how bad it is, right? Don't be so quick. Join me in the as I review C S Lewis's book Abolition of Man. He is writing during the rise of relativism after World War 2, and as a classical English professor is uniquely suited to bring this issue up. The invitation is not to merely to oppose relativism in the universities, but even where it tries to creep into our homes. Fighting for objective truth, and the goodness of truth is essential! I talk about how to do...

266 - Moment of Victory
Catholic Life Coach For Men
We all like to win! It feels good to really crush the other team with a stunning victory. Unless that "other team" is your wife or your children... To win in relationships isn't about crushing...so how do we do it? Join me in the as I explore the issue of how to follow Christ's example of conquering through vulnerability. Christ had every reason to be "right" and was perfect - yet He wins our hearts through His weakness. His greatest moment of conquest was not sending forth legions of angels, but dying upon the cross. How can you do the same? I'm happy to announce I have a book out...

265 - Is the Rosary Superstitious
Catholic Life Coach For Men
Jesus specifically tells his followers not to babble in prayer. Many people believe that repetitive prayers like the Rosary might fall into this category. Worse, even those who love the Rosary can sometimes fall into mindless repetition. This is not good. Join me in the as I explore why and how to properly pray repetitive prayer. What are the dangers, what is Our Lord warning against? How do we understand those dangers and react well when we pray our many Catholic repetitive prayers? How can you as a man lead your household well in these prayers? Also if you struggle with it, consider...
