The Catholic Coaching Podcast
When we encountered New Age philosophies in Life Coaching that ran counter to our Christian beliefs, we decided to take the best practices of Life Coaching and infuse them with the rich traditions of our Catholic Faith. We're Matt and Erin Ingold, Catholic coaches and the founders of Metanoia Catholic, our Catholic Life Coaching Company.

Why 85% of Catholic Kids Leave the Faith (And How to Stop It) with Dr. Greg Popcak
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why are 85% to 90% of Catholic kids walking away from the Church as adults—and what are the rare 15% of successful families doing differently?
In this episode of The Catholic Coaching Podcast, Matt sits down with Catholic psychologist, author, and EWTN radio host Dr. Greg Popcak to look at the groundbreaking research surrounding the "Liturgy of Domestic Church Life."
If you've ever felt like your parenting is reduced to a "toolbox of manipulation techniques" to force external compliance, this conversation is the breath of fresh air you need. Dr. Greg breaks down how families can transition from behavior-focused parenting to a deeply relational, Trinitarian model that emphasizes warmth, mutual self-giving, and mentorship.
We cover:
👉 The shocking age when most kids actually lose their faith (hint: it's much earlier than college).
👉 Why behaviorism fails the Christian view of the human person.
👉 The "Three-Bucket Water Wheel" analogy of the Trinity applied to your household.
👉 How the Liturgy of Domestic Church Life acts as a powerful counter to clericalism.
👉 Practical ways to navigate modern parenting dilemmas like teenagers and social media.
Whether your children are toddlers, teenagers, or independent adults, this episode provides a life-changing framework to transform your home into a thriving domestic church.
