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 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.

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.

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...

244 - Self Care vs Self Sacrifice
Catholic Life Coach For Men
I just want what I want when I want it! Perhaps you've thought or felt that before? I certainly have. It's actually hard work to discern how to balance when I need to care for myself and when I need to tend to the needs of others. There is no one right answer, and it's easy to fall into vice in either direction. As we go through life, the right balance changes. We have to adapt as our lives change (perhaps another child is born) and as those around us change (perhaps our wife is sick.) How do we balance this? Join me in this episode as I cover some basics in this balance. I talk about...

242 - Wounds On Display
Catholic Life Coach For Men
Lent this year has been quite a bit rougher than what I had planned on. Sometimes, living in the painful valley can be well...painful. The valleys we choose are bad enough. When we get an even tougher valley, it can be downright discouraging. Ever wonder why Jesus retains the visible wounds after His resurrection? Yes, to a certain extent, they help prove that he was actually crucified (and not some identical twin or something.) His wounds, however, a powerful tool that He uses to build the faith of His followers then, and now. Join me in this episode as I explore the idea that God can use...
info_outlineEvery human has a great number of pieces, parts, and facets to themself. Finding balance is often difficult - commonly one piece (perhaps a lustful piece) takes over control and we seem "surprised" with where we end up.
Things get really bad when we confuse a "piece" of ourself for the actual "self."
Who is the real "I" that lives beneath all our desires, whims, and needs?
Join me in this episode as I start with Exodus chapter 32 (the original "Pride Parade") and explore what commonly happens whenever we confuse a piece of ourselves with the actual self. The response is for the Levites to draw swords and kill - and that is often the response we need also towards those lustful, gluttonous and sinful parts.
Mild action doesn't cut it. We need to be radical.
