The Catholic Coaching Podcast

Most parishes want to evangelize. Few know how to actually do it effectively.In this episode, Matt sits down with Jim Jansen, longtime missionary, ministry leader, and author of A Clear Path. Jim has spent over 25 years in full-time ministry, from being one of the first-ever Focus missionaries to leading parish renewal efforts in the Archdiocese of Omaha. His experience has given him a front-row seat to what actually works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to making disciples.We dive into the real obstacles that keep parishes stuck in maintenance mode and unpack the simple, structured path that leads people from casual faith to fully living on mission. We also talk about the power of temperaments, how to actually build effective ministry teams, and why most people don’t evangelize (hint: it’s not because they don’t know enough).If you’ve ever wondered why your parish isn’t growing, why small groups feel stagnant, or why people aren’t stepping into leadership, this conversation will challenge and equip you.Want to build a thriving parish? ► Start here with Jim's Book, A Clear Path: How to Make Missionary Disciples in Your Parish.► Discover your temperament here.► Get your Temperaments and Ministry Guide here.Send us Fan MailSupport the show____________________► Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to the Metanoia Catholic YouTube Channel!► Find out your temperament: Take the Free Quiz► Get the Conversation Starter Guide (FREE) ► Take the Quiz: WHAT TYPE OF COACH ARE YOU?► GET THE DAILY SEVEN JOURNAL!This interactive journal will help you transform your life from the inside out by teaching you how to grow in gratitude, set healthy goals, and gain mastery over your thoughts.► JOIN THE ACADEMY!Your online resource of classes, tools, and community to ramp up your growth and really change your life.

Ministry has a way of exposing us; our weaknesses, fears, and yes, even the blind spots we’d rather ignore. If you’ve ever found yourself frustrated with team dynamics, avoiding conflict, or struggling with impatience, this episode is for you.We’re diving deep into how our temperaments shape the way we lead, interact, and, let’s be honest, sometimes create unnecessary struggles in ministry. What if the things that trigger you most are actually your greatest opportunities for growth? What if conflict isn’t something to avoid but a tool for sharpening your leadership and deepening your relationships?In this episode, we take you through a self-coaching process that uncovers the real thoughts driving your reactions. We share our own blind spots, break down the thought patterns behind them, and walk through how to move from frustration to transformation. Because true leadership isn’t about being perfect, it’s about growing in self-awareness, embracing imperfection, and allowing God to reorder what’s disordered in us.Listen in, do the work, and start seeing what’s been holding you back.Get the Temperaments and Ministry GuideSend us Fan MailSupport the show____________________► Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to the Metanoia Catholic YouTube Channel!► Find out your temperament: Take the Free Quiz► Get the Conversation Starter Guide (FREE) ► Take the Quiz: WHAT TYPE OF COACH ARE YOU?► GET THE DAILY SEVEN JOURNAL!This interactive journal will help you transform your life from the inside out by teaching you how to grow in gratitude, set healthy goals, and gain mastery over your thoughts.► JOIN THE ACADEMY!Your online resource of classes, tools, and community to ramp up your growth and really change your life.
