Fr. Rob shares how silence is fueling his faith in this season of life, what it means to find your place in God’s kingdom, and why stillness can be the very thing that anchors us when the future feels unclear. He talks openly about the beauty and challenge of discernment, the freedom that comes from real commitment, and the courage required to choose the path God is inviting us into.

We also explore how music has shaped Fr. Rob’s journey, from healing his own anxiety and depression to becoming a powerful instrument of evangelization for millions. Whether he is writing albums, speaking to large crowds, or quietly singing at a funeral, he sees music as a doorway for the heart to encounter God.

If you have ever wrestled with calling, felt overwhelmed by too many options, wondered where you fit in faith or life, or simply needed a reminder that God speaks in both noise and silence, this conversation is for you..

In this episode of the No Filters Just Faith Podcast, we sit down with St. Clement’s own Ed Harasim to explore the heart of the OCIA journey. From the first stirrings of faith to the powerful grace of the sacraments at the Easter Vigil, Ed offers a warm and thoughtful look at what it means to enter the Church as an adult.

He walks us through the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus, showing how Jesus meets us where we are, listens to our concerns, and opens our hearts to recognize Him in the breaking of the bread. Ed shares how adults in OCIA rediscover the richness of the faith, from understanding Mary and the saints to encountering the mystery of the Eucharist with fresh eyes.

We also explore mystagogy, the reflective period after receiving the sacraments, and how scripture continues to speak personally to us as we grow. Ed explains the unique beauty of the Triduum, starting in darkness and moving into the light of Christ at the Easter Vigil, where new Catholics are welcomed through baptism, confirmation, and Holy Communion.

Whether you are considering joining the Church or simply want to deepen your understanding of the faith, this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and a powerful reminder that our journey with God is lifelong.

How is God inviting you to grow in your faith today?
