Do you know exactly who you want to be, but can't seem to actually become that person? Fr. Jonathan Meyer joins Chris to share five simple, doable things you can do today to make real, lasting change in your life.In this conversation, Fr. Jonathan breaks down his acronym MESS — Move, Eat, Sleep, Silence, Socialize — and explains why so many of the spiritual struggles we bring to God are really unaddressed physical and psychological ones. He shares the direct, practical advice he gives in confession (including his well-known "Three B's" for setting boundaries with technology and sin), why comfort might be the disease of our age, and why no one — not even a priest — is meant to make change alone.Fr. Jonathan also opens up about his own six years of counseling, the intentional community life he shares with a brother priest, and why he modeled his bedroom after St. John Vianney's. The conversation closes with a challenge for every viewer: when did you stop dreaming the dream you started with?Highlights.......Sign up for The Daily Anchor to get Chris Stefanick's bite-sized reflections every morning and be entered for a chance to win a trip for two on our Pilgrimage to Beauty: https://bit.ly/4tQCXtP........Support the creation of this content by becoming a Missionary of Joy with a monthly gift to Real Life Catholic and get free access to 9 transformative courses: https://bit.ly/4nTHbN0
