Resurrection South Austin

Fr Shawn and Melisa Gray follow up a youth focused Sunday with a discussion about the vital topic of youth in the church. They delve into the real challenges facing today's teens - from mental health struggles to questions of faith - and explore how the church community can rise to meet these needs. They talk about personal experiences, both successes and setbacks, in connecting with youth. They challenge common misconceptions and offer practical strategies for creating a church where teens truly belong and thrive. With insights that will reshape perspectives on youth ministry and exciting updates on upcoming programs, this conversation promises to inspire listeners to play a transformative role in young people's lives. It's an episode that could change not just how we view youth in the church, but how we engage with them too.

In this episode of the Follow Up podcast, Father Shawn sits down with Adisyn and Melissa, for a candid conversation about generosity and stewardship. The guests share their personal journeys with giving, discuss the communal impact of generosity, and offer practical insights on cultivating a culture of joyful stewardship in families and church communities.

At the heart of the conversation is an invitation for listeners to prayerfully consider their own participation in the "giving pathway" - not out of guilt or obligation, but as a means of experiencing the freedom and joy of aligning one's life with God's purposes.
