Fr. Chris Shofner never thought he’d spend his life preaching from the pulpit—let alone coaching souls through their deepest struggles. In this powerful episode, Fr. Chris shares his journey from shy neuroscience student to Catholic priest, and how Metanoia Catholic’s Mindset Coaching Certification gave him the tools to shepherd more effectively, love more boldly, and guide others into real transformation.

We talk about:
– The difference between spiritual renewal and mindset renewal
– How coaching has impacted his parish leadership, staff, and confessional ministry
– Practical ways priests and lay leaders can use coaching tools
– What it looks like to really help people move past emotional blocks
– Why the Church needs mindset coaches now more than ever

Whether you’re in ministry, considering coaching, or just want to be a more effective instrument of God’s grace—this conversation will stretch you and stir your heart.

This is Part 2 of our two-part series on wealth, desire, and the Catholic heart.

In Part 1, we asked: Is the love of money the root of all evil? We explored how wealth is often tied to our desire for happiness and security.

Now in Part 2, we dig into two more deceptive promises of money:

• “Wealth will make people love me”
• “Wealth will finally set me free”

Matt and Erin expose how these thoughts show up in our temperaments, our wounds, and our walk with God, and how they subtly shift our trust from the Father to our finances.

You’ll learn:

• How money becomes a false savior for loneliness and fear
• The danger of letting other people’s opinions define your worth
• Why real freedom doesn’t come from your bank account
• How to pray, repent, and reorder your desires toward God

If you’ve ever said, “When I make more money, then I’ll feel secure/loved/in control”, watch this now.

God gave you those desires. Don’t settle for a counterfeit.

Is it a sin to desire wealth?

In this episode of The Catholic Coaching Podcast, Matt and Erin tackle one of the most common but unspoken struggles among Christians: the emotional and spiritual tension between money and holiness. What if the desire for wealth isn’t the problem, but our reason for desiring it is?

You’ll learn:

• How to discern whether your desire for wealth is rooted in love of money or love of mission
• What the Church teaches about happiness (beatitude) and its connection to money
• How to know if wealth has become an idol in your life
• The difference between using money as a means or treating it as an end
• Simple mindset shifts to move from fear and scarcity to freedom and trust

If you've ever thought, "I’ll feel safer or happier when I have more money," this conversation is for you.

God wants to renew your mind.
He wants to be the source of your peace, not your bank account.
