Have you ever considered how sharing your desires could be a key component of discerning His will? For the phlegmatic temperament there can often be a reluctance to share what they desire. But our desires are not burdens to God. He wants to hear them. He wants to refine them and refine us in the process. In this podcast...

What makes someone a leader? How about a Catholic leader? At Metanoia Catholic we began in response to a personal development industry that had all but removed Christ the cornerstone from the journey of growth and self-mastery. "Unless the Lord builds the house, the laborers labor in vain" (Psalm 127: 1).
