Finding the Cross in CrossFit ft. Joel Stepanek

Listen Later

This week we were able to sit down with Joel Stepanek, Vice President of Parish Services for Life Teen and talk about his experience with CrossFit and the culture that has developed around it. Join us as we discuss what it means to regain an understanding of the "Why" of our Catholic faith. What can we as a Church learn from CrossFit culture? Where do we see Christian ideals, beliefs, and values manifesting in the CrossFit community? Join the conversation and let's answer these questions together. #WelcomeToTheAdventure
