  • 250. Why Wealth Won’t Fix Your Loneliness or Set You Free
    Jun 25 2025

    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.

  • 249. Money, Happiness, and God: What Are You Really Chasing?
    Jun 18 2025

    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.

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

    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.

  • 247. Former March for Life President Discovers New Path to Build a Culture of Life
    Jun 4 2025

    Jeanne Mancini, President Emeritus of March for Life, joins Matt and Erin to share how Catholic Mindset Coaching has reignited her mission and redefined what it means to be pro-life in a post-Roe world.

    • Why Jeanne chose Catholic Mindset Coaching over high-profile opportunities
    • How 60% of post-abortive women say mindset support would have helped them choose life
    • The massive potential of coaching inside pregnancy centers, pro-life leadership, and Catholic apostolates
    • The internal transformation that leadership demands—and how coaching fosters it
    • Jeanne’s raw, honest take on identity, burnout, and trusting God in the unknown

    If you’re in Catholic ministry, leadership, or the pro-life movement, this episode will give you vision and tools to lead more effectively and live more abundantly.
