The Catholic Coaching Podcast 254. What Should Catholics Do With Intrusive Thoughts?
Feeling haunted by thoughts you didn’t ask for?
You’re not crazy. You’re not alone. And you’re not powerless.
In this episode of The Catholic Coaching Podcast, Matt and Erin tackle intrusive thoughts from a Catholic mindset coaching lens. Not as therapists, but as coaches who’ve walked with hundreds of people battling everything from recurring negativity to spiritual scrupulosity.
You’ll learn:
- What intrusive thoughts really are (and why the word itself might be hurting you)
- How to stop judging your thoughts and start stewarding them
- The difference between temptation and sin
- Practical hacks rooted in Catholic truth, neuroscience, and mindset psychology
- Why taking custody of your thoughts isn’t just possible — it’s spiritual warfare with eternal dividends
This isn’t fluff. It’s formation. And it might be the most important 45 minutes you spend this week.
"Take every thought captive to obey Christ." — 2 Corinthians 10:5
You were never meant to fight these battles alone.
