Description

it's been well-documented that the Catholic church has, historically, had something of a proclamation problem. The gospel, the good news hasn't been a regular part of our spiritual diet. It's not something we hear week in and week out. And yet I'd say that things have been shifting,  things have been changing. And I'd say over the course of the 25 years that I've been in ministry with college students and young adults, the tide has turned and it's really exciting. And yet while we may not have as much of a proclamation problem nowadays. I still think we have a problem. And it's a proclamation and response problem. How do we actually lead people Into evangelistic moments? How do we help them hear the gospel and then make a concrete response to its promises? 

So that's what I want to dig into. 

This is part three of the three part series we've been working on: On Sharing the Gospel. The first one was week one part one. “When you teach, preach!” When you teach the Catholic faith, preach the gospel. Week two:  “What's so good about the good news?”  We went through the core gospel message and shared what's so good about the good news. And finally today we're talking about how do you actually help someone respond to the gospel?  I want to give some practical tips and ways that I have seen that have worked in my years in ministry with college students and young adults.  

I hope it can bless you too.
