In this episode, we discuss the importance of finding your niche. We are all called to be a gift – whether you’re a coach, have your own ministry, or your own family. You can’t make yourself a gift unless you know what your specific gifts are.

Picking a niche is acknowledging and claiming how the Holy Spirit is uniquely overflowing from you into others. It gives such glory to God and healing to the body of Christ. You may be a coach...

Sometimes our sacrifices can be a barrier to what Lent is all about: Repentance and God’s Mercy.

Tune in for tips and tricks to Lent’s Sacrifice Success! Avoid resentful white-knuckling and experience a transformation in in...

The Melancholic temperament (which according to our research, most of our audience happens to be) can often get a bad rap for being perfectionists.

It’s the last of the four-part mini series on asking better journal questions for each temperament. On this episode, we learn how to harness the Melancholic’s perfectionist energy for the good and use it as a tool for greater self-awareness!

In our final episode of our four-part series exploring better journal prompts for each temperament, we turn our focus to the Phlegmatic.

Get your journal ready, cholerics!

We've learned if you ask better questions, you get better answers. In our 2nd episode of our 4-part series, we're sharing the journal prompts that the choleric will find most inspiring.

Our dominant temperaments will often color what we value and what motivates us. Whether you are a choleric who wants to get more out of your journaling or someone who wants to know how to ask better questio...

By far our most popular podcast series in 2022 was on the four temperaments. We get it. The journey towards heaven always starts with self-awareness, and for that, temperaments are a great starting point.

We know at Metanoia how transformative journaling can be, but also know that based on your temperament some questions may be better journal prompts than others.

So, for the next 4 episodes, we'll be sharing the best journal pro...

Can you imagine a parish where people knew their unique gifts and shared them abundantly?

It can transform a parish when leaders know their strengths.

In this age of keyboard-courage, social media can be filled with trolls and cyber-bulling.

The troll is not willing to enter into dialogue, right? They just want to be heard and their opinion is what it is. They don't want a discussion. That's what is so frustrating... But perhaps God is allowing this for your growth and betterment.

As you prepare to welcome the gift of the newborn King of Kings, consider these 5 steps for ...

Do you set boundaries out of fear or love?

Most people use fear as the motivator when it comes to setting boundaries. It may be time to shift your perspective to create healthier habits. Fear not, they aren't as scary as they seem! Plus, boundaries actually benefit your relationships.

In this episode, we give 7 do's and 7 don'ts for setting boundaries. When done well, these can be amazing tools that propel us and the p...

As coaches, we're not supposed to use the "q" word. But yes, we are talking about... quitting!

Join us in this episode about our thought patterns that lead to quietly quitting: you know, when you no longer feel committed to one of your commitments. Sometimes we quit before even starting.

We have Hannah Dustman here and are coaching each other on our reasons for quietly quitting. Come laugh at our ridiculous reasons and...

There are four pillars of formation for the human person: Intellectual formation, spiritual formation, vocational formation, and human formation.

Human formation is an area that we've recognized as a deep poverty in the church. This will be a complete game changer because it is the foundation that all other pillars are built upon.

Sure, we can know theology back and forth intellectually and spiritually, but c...
