In this podcast, we discuss two of the prevailing counter-narratives on human sexuality from our culture. But, we also discuss the good news, that God made humans male and female! We discuss what it means to be created with equal dignity, with differences, and yet complementary. We learn about these fundamental truths of human sexuality from Perry Cahall's book, The Mystery of Marriage.

Today we continue our discussion on how we as Christians ought to respond to our increasingly secularized culture. The Church teaches that to be true evangelists, we must be witnesses of the faith, but we must also explicitly proclaim the Gospel. How do we do that, and where do we begin? Check out this week's episode to learn more.

Show Notes:

How do we bear fruit and work for the transformation of the culture?

1. Cultivate a disposition of discernment. Ask God how He wants you to live mission and how your time should be oriented toward fulfilling the Great Commission.

2. Cultivate friendships. Culture is based on friendship!

3. Proclaim the Gospel!

4. Get involved in your parish, especially a small group. Small groups centered on Christ, friendship, and a common mission are effective and fruitful!

5. Be part of the evangelizing community. Hand onto others what you have received.

6. Continue fostering a missionary disposition.

Today, we tackle one of my favorite topics, evangelization! This episode, I discuss the two main reasons why we should evangelize, reasons why we don't partake in evangelization, and we look at Pope Francis' awesome writing, Joy of the Gospel. Now, let's get out there!

This episode, we discuss a few reasons why we should read and pray with Scripture, as well as some practical tips on how to do it. Check out Father Wilfrid Stinissen's book, The Word is Very Near You, for a more in-depth study.

"God speaks his word to me personally when he allows me to come into existence. I exist because God continuously whispers my name, says who I am" (11).

Join me this week as we conclude our study on St. Therese of Lisieux, Doctor of the Church. Material is derived from Complete Spiritual Doctrine of St. Therese of Lisieux by Rev. Francois Jamart, OCD.

**This will likely be my final episode that is close to an hour in length. Revival will no longer be airing on St. Michael Catholic Radio because like St. Therese, I am quite little and need to revert back to shorter episodes which are more spaced out. Please keep me in your prayers as I enter into a short break from podcasting!**
