In this episode of the Proclaim Podcast, host Eric Chow sits down with Deacon Tim Kostamo, whose life story is anything but ordinary. Raised in a missionary family, Tim shares how his early evangelical roots eventually led him to the Catholic Church—and to a surprising call to the diaconate. With humor, energy, and deep conviction, Deacon Tim encourages us all to be filled with the Holy Spirit and boldly proclaim the Good News in our everyday lives. Whether you’re just beginning to explore mission or already living it out, this conversation will inspire you to take the next step.
