Ever notice this? You start walking toward something you know God is calling you to… and suddenly your mind floods with “I can’t,” “I’m not capable,” “I’ll fail,” “I’m an imposter.”
That’s not random—it’s often a belief system at work.
In this episode, Matt and Erin begin a brand-new series on The Power of Beliefs—and how to actually change them through Catholic mindset coaching (with Jesus, not willpower alone).
We cover:
• What a belief is (and why it’s more than “just a thought”)
• Beliefs vs. thoughts: renters vs. residents
• Why beliefs can feel like facts (even when they’re not)
• How beliefs shape identity (“I am / I am not…”)
• The mind’s “filter” that looks for evidence to confirm what you already believe
• Why beliefs often feel protective… until you look at the fruit
• A practical process to start shifting beliefs:
1. Believe change is possible
2. Trace where the belief leads (feelings → actions → results)
3. Diffuse (“I notice I’m believing…”)
4. Challenge with humble questions (“How might I be wrong?”)
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same patterns—anger, procrastination, people-pleasing, emotional eating, fear, avoidance—there’s often a deeper belief underneath it.
