Most coaches don’t fail because they don’t care. They fail because they don’t know who they’re coaching. If you're mentoring, forming, or coaching someone without first understanding their temperament, especially if they’re sanguine, you’re unintentionally creating friction, not transformation. In this episode, Matt and Erin break down the five biggest mistakes coaches make with sanguine clients, and what to do instead. You’ll learn: This isn’t about tailoring to comfort. It’s about forming people effectively by meeting them where they are, and calling them higher. Get started now by taking our free Temperament Assessment Grab the Catholic Journal Here! Subscribe.

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.

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.
