77 - Read the Bible with Michael Ward 04/18/2022

77 - Read the Bible with Michael Ward We all know the joke - Protestants know the Bible better than Catholics. Sadly, to some extent, it's true.

Furthermore, you're a lot more like him than you might want to admit! Join me in this episode as I discuss what it means to be like the good thief on the cross, what that means, and how to take that in as we get ready to go into the Triduum. The great mass spanning Holy Thursday to Easter Vigil is a unique opportunity not only to renew our faith, but to deepen our understanding of what God has done in our lives. Don't waste it! /episode/index/show/catholiclifecoachformen/id/22771952

75 - Good Diversity with Ray Arata 04/06/2022

75 - Good Diversity with Ray Arata The topic of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity is a pretty divisive one right now. Abstractly, we all know that a diverse set of perspectives is helpful, but we also each have horror stories of how policies in the DIE name have been rammed down corporate throats causing destruction. How can we, both as Christians and as open-minded men, maximize the good while avoiding the sludge of politics? Join me in this episode for something a little bit different. I've invited a DEI leader on for an honest, direct, but respectful conversation. There's a little bit of tension, but we find some common ground that I hope will be pretty persuasive.

72 - Jesus Loves Movies with Phil Strangolagalli Movies are powerful. They can connect to the deepest part of our emotional and spiritual selves.

Join me in this episode as Phil and I go over how movies can be an opportunity to draw closer to Jesus, rather than further. The fundamental elements of story so often point directly to the Gospel, if you know how to look at them.

71 - Better Thinking beats Trying Harder Lent has just started, and most of us are already struggling with whatever we gave up. Worse, I'm grumpier to my wife and kids! Why is it so hard to just do something different for 40 days? Why do we struggle and spend so much effort to do just one little thing? If you want to make a real change, you need to do a lot more than just "try harder" - you need to think better. You need to explore your deepest and core beliefs. They shape who you become. Join me in this episode as I discuss how to really make this a powerful Lent - how to really make real and lasting change that you can be proud of. It's worth it! /episode/index/show/catholiclifecoachformen/id/22446488
