Living the Faith - Fr. Timothy Furlow

Part 3 of Father Tim's 6 part series on the family.

What does it mean to have a healthy family?

To be a truly Catholic family is extremely countercultural and very difficult to pull off.

We are surrounded by unhealthy families...let's not let that seep into OUR families!

Holy Spirit, what are you into that I'm not into?

What am I into that you're not into?

Thanks for listening to the podcast.

Jesus is willing to do whatever it take to bring out the best of us, even if it doesn't fit into our conception of him.

In times of tribulation, let's ask: What's the lesson, Lord?

This question can bring you from doubt and frustration to acceptance and faith.

Fear seeks to control you.

Fear keeps us frozen.

That's what Satan wants, because following Jesus necessarily moves us forward.

When is the last time you perceived Jesus working in your life?

What's the next thing you need him to do?

Prioritizing Jesus above everyone and everything in our lives gives us the ability to love and serve the world and the people in the world better than we could with our own power.

When things get tough, it's saint-making time.
