We all face them — the difficult person at work, the toxic family member, or the friend who drains your energy. You’ve prayed they’d change. You’ve tried avoiding them. But what if God wants to give you peace even if they never change?

In this episode of The Catholic Coaching Podcast, Matt and Erin share a step-by-step, faith-based process for dealing with difficult people without losing your joy. You’ll learn how to reframe your thinking, keep your peace, and show up with love — whether you’re handling toxic people, navigating conflict at church, or setting boundaries biblically.

You’ll discover:

  • How to deal with difficult people in a Christian way
  • Why “difficult” is often more about your perspective than theirs
  • Practical Catholic tips for conflict resolution and forgiveness
  • A simple process to stop letting negative people control your emotions
  • How to love your enemies and keep your peace in Christ

Whether it’s a spouse, co-worker, or friend, you can respond with grace, guard your heart, and live in the freedom God offers.

Next week: Part 2 — How to set healthy boundaries after you’ve done the interior work.
