248. Is Money the Root of All Evil? What the Bible Actually Says Jun 11, 2025

Show notes

Is money actually the root of all evil, or is it our attachment to money that holds us back from trusting God fully?

In this episode of The Catholic Coaching Podcast, Matt and Erin unpack the Church’s teaching on wealth, possessions, and how to find your God-given purpose by renewing your mindset around money. You will walk through a framework that reveals where fear, scarcity, and control show up in your finances and how those thoughts might be blocking you from receiving God's provision.

If you have ever asked what does God want me to do or struggled with fear around not having enough, this conversation will help you move from anxiety to peace and from control to confidence in God.

You will discover:

What Scripture really says about money
How emotional dependence creates disordered attachments
A practical tool for renewing your thoughts and healing fear around money
Why trusting God's provision is key to living your purpose
How to recognize when your identity is rooted in money instead of in Christ

You do not need more money to feel safe. You need the right mindset rooted in truth.

242. Practical Tips for Coaching Clients Who Just Want to Have Fun Apr 30, 2025

Show notes

Most coaches don’t fail because they don’t care. They fail because they don’t know who they’re coaching.

If you're mentoring, forming, or coaching someone without first understanding their temperament, especially if they’re sanguine, you’re unintentionally creating friction, not transformation. In this episode, Matt and Erin break down the five biggest mistakes coaches make with sanguine clients, and what to do instead.

You’ll learn:

Why rigid structure shuts sanguines down
How to guide without overwhelming or talking over them
Simple techniques to build trust, deepen reflection, and drive follow-through
The real reason small wins matter more than deep insights for this temperament

This isn’t about tailoring to comfort. It’s about forming people effectively by meeting them where they are, and calling them higher.
