Chosen

The call to serve the poor is one that comes directly from Jesus himself.  Those who are missionaries with Christ in the City have answered that call in a very unique and real way.  While working in Michigan City, IN this summer, Fr. Jacob and Adam got to spend some time with two of those people, hear their stories, and learn more about this unique ministry to the poor.  Learn to see the homeless in a new way and get some ideas on how to truly "encounter" everyone you meet.

Roman Catholic Bishops claim direct descendance from the Apostles themselves, as the Catholic Church promises to have apostolic authority.  This week, Adam and Fr. Jacob sit down with Bishop Robert McClory, Bishop of the Diocese of Gary, IN, to learn more about leadership, what leadership modeled after Jesus Christ has to look like, and what seems to be missing from our world today in terms of leadership.  You won't wont want to miss it!

Last week, Fr. Jacob and Adam explored the intellectual life and the Catholic Church.  This week, Jaycob Knazur, principal of Andrean High Catholic High School in Merrillville, IN, joins as a guest to give an account from the frontlines of the high school classroom.  Listen to the triumphs, challenges, and outlook for the future for Catholic education to stay front and center.

Much of the time, the sentiment related to young people and the Catholic Church is negative and pessimistic. Young people are leaving, they are not coming back for sacraments, and the outlook is bleak.  Join Fr. Jacob and Adam as they talk with Vicky Hathaway, Director of the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry for the Diocese of Gary, who certainly has a different outlook filled with passion, hope, and a brighter time to come.  There is hope for the future, and listen how it is possible to draw young people back!

The story of young adults, those who are 18-39, and the Church in our recent time has been a rocky one.  There are definitely setbacks that the Church has to face in ministering to young adults, but opportunities abound.  The question is, how can we call those back who have wondered away, and how can the Church care for those young adults who have stayed in her pews?  Join Adam and Fr. Jacob as they discuss the topic of young adults and the Church!

In our world today, listening seems to often be in short supply.  Join Adam and Fr. Jacob and they discuss what is means to listen, build relationships, and share the Gospel.  This episode was recorded live from Queen of All Saints in Michigan City a portion of the Faith Coach Master Class.  For more information see qas.org.
