300. The Catholic Guide to Conflict Resolution (That Actually Works)

Have you ever walked away from a heated argument filled with regret, wishing you had handled things differently? Or maybe you’re someone who avoids conflict entirely, hoping it will just magically disappear?Welcome back to The Catholic Coaching Podcast! In this episode, Matt and Erin kick off an intensive series on healthy, holy conflict resolution. They introduce a powerful 4-part framework called PACE:Pause: Regulate yourself spiritually and emotionally before reacting.• Assume Goodwill: Drop the victim mindset and reframe your toxic internal narratives.• Clarify: Separate the raw facts from the stories you tell yourself.• Engage Toward Unity: Move past trying to "win" the argument and instead pursue mutual communion.Pulling wisdom from St. Thomas Aquinas and Catechism #1731, they explore how mastering your Internal Locus of Control allows you to claim your personal freedom, set clean boundaries, and see conflict not as a bug in relationships, but as a direct milestone toward Heaven.Send us Fan MailSupport the show____________________► Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to the Metanoia Catholic YouTube Channel!► Discover How God Is Speaking to You In Prayer► 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.
