Break Announcement: See You in August!

Thanks for tuning in every week. We’re going to take a break for the month of July, but we'll be back in August with a series on "How to Choose Programs for Your Clear Path". May God bless you this summer!

In the meantime, here's a few of our favorite episodes:

Episode 32: Missional Amnesia

One of our earliest episodes. Fr. Lorig (original host) and Jim Jansen unpack why “missional” isn’t just a buzzword but a crucial shift for today’s Church. If you've ever struggled to explain missionary discipleship or reach someone far from the faith, this episode gives clarity, urgency, and practical next steps.

Episode 45: Ministry or Apostolate?

Our most downloaded episode! We often treat “ministry” and “apostolate” like interchangeable terms—but they’re not. This episode explores why reclaiming the lay apostolate is essential for a Church that reaches beyond its walls and reclaims its missionary identity.

Episode 82: Religious Ed that's Tailored to YOUR Needs

When a beautifully designed “Mend” box landed on my desk, curiosity turned into conviction—this wasn’t just another program. Discover with me how Faith and Family Life Catholic Ministries is equipping parents and parishes to accompany children in the sacraments—starting with something as simple (and beautiful) as a box. Hear why "Mend" made it home instead of to a staff review pile, and how it could be a game-changer for your family or parish.
