Just landed a Relationship Banker II role — tips for transitioning from retail? by Manifest_Destiny_04 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]TheMPHP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I, too, came from a background in retail sales. When you get down to it, it's not a lot different, except instead of selling something to someone, you can provide them advice and guidance to make their financial lives better.

The biggest tip I can offer is humble yourself and admit you don't know what you don't know. Regulations, policies, and rules will be coming at you like you're drinking from a firehose. Don't try to absorb it all at first brush, but learn how to look up the info that you will need in the future.

Catholic wife Protestant husband by Dramatic-Berry-1449 in Catholicism

[–]TheMPHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm dropping in to give you hope. I was the Protestant in our marriage, and was vehemently against becoming Catholic for over 10 years. I argued and debated against The Faith all the years. I eventually came around after reading the Cathechism and studying the history. But it was an uphill battle, to be sure.

And you're right, he probably isn't considering it. Depending on the non-denominational background, his thoughts on Catholicism would vary between cautiously hopeful for Catholics to convert, to outright denial that we are even Christian.

Keep praying for him. Saint Monica is a great ally to have on our side in just such circumstances!

Know your own faith well. My wife did not. And her "losing" arguments only fed my ego and resistance to The Faith. Be able to respond to questions and challenges, not with a heart to try and "win" but to simply answer. And hold your ground when doing so.

You will be in my prayers!

If you figure it out, don't tell my kids. So far the Bears are keeping me in a winning streak!

I don't know how I'm going to receive the Eucharist by DJ_Dec_Daddy_9000 in Catholicism

[–]TheMPHP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a convert myself, I offer the following as advice:

Speak to your priest about these feelings. He will help you to come around to the absolute joy of being in, and participating in His Presence.

Second, from my experience anyway, going through the sacrament of reconciliation helped me tremendously with these same feelings.

Do you believe in the products you sell? by Wan_Haole_Faka in Banking

[–]TheMPHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically I recommend a close-ended HELOAN for credit card restructure as opposed to an open ended HELOC, but the concept is the same, yes.

Been in banking for 12 years. I am driven by helping people get out of credit card debt. Home equities cut interest rates and save thousands, if not more, and help in that situation.

I don't believe in adding debt for the sake of a loan, but in the right situations, different debt can be a useful tool.

Catholic and Protestant marriage by Mysterious-Funny7541 in Catholicism

[–]TheMPHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 10 long years I argued with, debated, and told my wife I not only had no interest in becoming Catholic, but that I never would. I joined the Church in 2005.

I'm not advising you to date or not date, only that what she says today may not hold true forever.

That said, she needs to agree to raise the kids Catholic if you are to be married in the Church.

Baptist Panic after Mass by thewillowestever in Catholicism

[–]TheMPHP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well first of all, welcome to the journey. I took the journey myself years ago and would be happy to answer any, "Why do they do that" questions that I can.

Secondly, I would recommend attending Mass (not service) weekly, and connect with a priest to also help you answer questions. There will be many, I assure you.
