Catholic Life Coach For Men

Our children are growing up in an environment unlike any previous generations. Technology and cultural expectations have taken away their childhood and forced them to mature faster than ever. This is having some difficult effects. Join me in this episode as I'm joined by a much younger guest who goes by Mr. Whisky. We talk about his work supporting the mental health of our younger generation. We cover practical perspectives and things to think about as a parent of this generation. You can read more about Mr. Whiskey and find his podcast at: I also invite you to check out my free Manly...

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 show art 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 show art 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 show art 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 show art 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...

215 - Humility Part 2 - Direct Good show art 215 - Humility Part 2 - Direct Good

Catholic Life Coach For Men

This episode continues the Humility series where I am exploring the Litany of Humility. This is one of the most painful prayers to pray, and therefore probably pretty important. Pride is one of the greatest sins of our time - and perhaps always has been. As Christians, we are called to combat the pride in our own hearts in a powerful and unique way. Join me in this episode as I walk through what I call the "direct goods" that the litany asks Jesus to deliver us from. Why would this be good? What does this even mean? Why would I want to pray this? Join me in this episode to find out. I also...

214 - Miracles and Relationships with Ed Jozsa show art 214 - Miracles and Relationships with Ed Jozsa

Catholic Life Coach For Men

This episode is part 2 of a discussion with Ed Jozsa. In part one (episode 211) he discussed his amazing story of a series of miracles that took place after he went through a horrific accident. If you have not yet listened to that episode, I strongly suggest listening to that first! In this episode he and I take the discussion in a totally different direction. I explore the impact that this story has had on his relationships, starting with his marriage, then moving into how it has affected his children and extended relationships. Join me in this episode as Ed and I discuss how you do not need...

213 - Productivity with Mark Struczewsk show art 213 - Productivity with Mark Struczewsk

Catholic Life Coach For Men

So many men feel overwhelmed. We allow the distractions and tasks of the day to be more important than our loved ones. Worse, we often fail to take care of ourselves properly! Join me in this episode as productivity expert Mark Struczewski and I talk about how to change your life, forever. Productivity is not some magic pill or meditation technique, but a return to the simple basics that always work. We cover distractions, overwhelm, procrastination, and the self-care necessary to be the best for our loved ones! You can find out more about Mark on his website:

Catholic Life Coach For Men

Humility is one of the hardest and most essential of virtues to grow in. It's painful, embarrassing, and well...humiliating! The hard part is most people don't even really understand what humility is. Join me in this episode as I start a new series on humility. The goal of this episode is just to explore what humility is, how to find our pride, and some basics of what to do. In subsequent episodes, I'll walk through each line of the litany of humility. First, however, we need some basics. This episode is not going to be fun, comfortable, or easy to listen to. It may, however, be the most...

God has a unique plan for every person - but so often we get in the way.

Everyone has stories we tell ourselves that get in the way of God's plan, but men tend to bury our stories more deeply and are less likely to share them than our feminine counterparts.

If we don't, however, we get stuck in anxiety. Trapped in our fears and lack of trust.

Join me in this episode as Justin Janowski shares the story of his journey and how God lead him from the deep wilderness of Alaska into sales and entrepreneurship. Along the way Justin had to challenge his own bad stories and learn to trust. Justin gives us some practical advice to use in our own struggle for truth and trust.
