The Catholic Coaching Podcast

There are SO many false beliefs about chastity and many of them can create an aversion to the word itself. If you find the word chastity triggering thoughts of body-shaming, puritanism, or obstacles to real love, then you will find this episode very refreshing.    We host Jason Evert of chastity.com and the Lust is Boring Podcast and discuss the common thought-errors people have about chastity tha...

The imagination is a powerful tool, but most adults nowadays use it for creating worry rather than creating God's Kingdom Come. In this episode, we sit down with Lisa Canning, The Possibility Mom, to discuss how adults might reform the way that they use their imagination to bring about God's Glory, reach goals, and collaborate with God in bringing his vision into plain site for all to sh...

 We get a lot of questions on how to set better goals and get the most out of Exercise 3 in our Metanoia Daily Seven Journal.    In this episode, we share the importance of being honest with our desires, regardless of how holy we think they are or aren't, and bringing them to God to be transformed into something AMAZING. Exercise those dream muscles folks. God has a great plan for you, and it...

The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that the purpose of belief is to ascent our thoughts to God. But too often, we choose beliefs that do the very opposite. In this episode, we help you self-diagnose your toxic beliefs and choose and interior life that you are proud to share with the world.    Send us Fan Mail Support the show ____________________ ► Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to the Metanoia Cat...

Consider how Jesus calls us to have Faith. Well, what exactly does that mean on a practical level? Anyone who has accomplished anything of merit has had to step out in Faith, meaning that they choose to believe something that they have not yet seen. In this episode we will be sharing a big example of where we stepped out in Faith, chose to abandon limiting beliefs, and sharing how God showed up wi...

Let's face it, transformation is uncomfortable, and when you don't have a compelling reason behind the discomfort, it's easy to fall back into old ways. In this episode, as Matt looks at a future of 90-days with cold showers, no-alcohol (gasp!), no TV (double-gasp!!) with Exodus-90, Erin coaches Matt to find that compelling WHY behind the trial. Listen in and walk through the exerci...

White-knuckling your way to behavior change never leads to lasting transformation. Furthermore, it's neither Biblically nor psychologically sound. For the Catholics that think the only way to change is to "beat themselves up to better," you are going to find this a refreshing lesson on how to streamline transformation by choosing grace and operating within God's original design...

Whether it's with food, working out, busyness, alcohol, sleep, or any number of behaviors, most of us have some go-to buffering actions when we are avoiding what we'd call an unpleasant emotion. The trouble with buffering is that we keep doing the destructive behaviors AND we miss out on some incredible opportunities to meet Jesus. There is great freedom in discovering how you buffer. Li...

Back by popular demand, we're diving deeper into emotions and building on episode 20. In this episode, we get into the "How" of processing emotions. This can seem daunting, but take courage! There is freedom in learning this oft-neglected, yet essential life-skill of processing our emotions. Neuroscience, theology, the Catechism, and molecular biology all converge in this episode to...

We can carry a lot of negative thoughts about our emotions. They're too much, not enough, good, bad, painful, etc.. But what if we just felt them? While the stonefaced #stoic life may seem more appealing than the out-of-control #triggered culture, these are two extremes that run contrary to Christian living and the theology of our bodies. In this episode, we are going to address some common m...

This is the third podcast in what's become an unintentional mini-series about working through our thoughts on the recent US Presidential election. There's good news! Despite the growing divisions in our country, what we've discovered is there is an ever-increasing reason to hope for TRUE unity. Not unity based on the other person changing to be in line with what we believe, but all...

Regardless of right-left, conservative-liberal, or Trump-Biden, we're seeing some toxic consequences in our nation and our world of "I'm right and you're wrong" thinking. There IS a right and a wrong. But, regardless of moral rectitude, how you THINK may put you in the enemy's camp, and we're not talking about political affiliations. Getting your thinking wrong o...

Gonna be honest...this podcast stung a little. We know that there are tons of people out there with thoughts about the 2020 Presidential Election. In this episode, I (Matt) get coached hard by Erin on my election drama. I have a sneaky suspicion that there are a lot of people on either side of the political fence that can empathize with what's going on in my head, so gear up for some brutal (...

Hands down, the number one struggle of our clients is overcoming the toxicity of a scarcity mindset. In this episode, we share why scarcity mindsets are so toxic, where we've experienced victories, and where we are still struggling. If Jesus came that we may have life, and have it in abundance (John 10:10) then there is no room for scarcity in our thinking. Send us Fan Mail Support the show _...

With her recent certification from the Life Coaching School, Erin shares how Catholics can build upon the natural foundation of the LCS "Mod...

If you were running headlong toward a cliff, would God have your permission to trip you? While God's intervention in our lives doesn't always feel good, it's always for our good. In this episode, we discuss a recent curveball that God threw us, and why we are so happy that he did.

In 2 Corinthians 10:5, St. Paul says "we take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ." Guess what! At Metanoia Catholic we have a process to this, and it will change your life. This simple exercise, the Thought Recon, has a way of uncovering our hidden destructive mindsets, many of which keep us from living truly happy lives. Like in military reconnaissance, we share how thi...

It's one thing to ask yourself to REASON through a difficult situation to gain a healthy perspective. It's another thing when God lends you His own wisdom. True Metanoia in the Christian life requires the latter, and we want to share our simple approach to help you open your mind and heart to receive God's own mind and heart.

Many of our clients at Metanoia Catholic are young adults with relationship struggles. In a relationship, there are two people having thoughts about one another, and who they are before the other. The thoughts that we allow will determine whether we enter dating relationships from a clean or toxic place. Are you dating from a clean place? In this episode, we share tools for self-reflection, and ho...

The philosophy of Stoicism is making a resurgence, and serves as one of the primary pillars of the self-development industry. In the episode, we explore the trajectory of stoicism, it's compatibility or lack-there-of with the Christian life, and what that means in our approach to Stoicism as Christians.

The three categories of lies that keep us from God are (1) Lies Against God, (2) Lies Against Ourselves, and (3) Lies Against our Life's Mission. Metanoia and living a foretaste of heaven in this life entails purging our interior lives of these destructive mindsets and allowing God's grace to renew our minds. In this episode, we're diving into the first of these categories, Lies Aga...
