Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Salt, Light, and the City! This is a very special episode with my fellow Summer Staff missionaries and very good friends Noah Austin, Noah Blanchard, Jack Ebel, Caleb Jellum, and PJ McLaughlin. We spent 7 weeks in the Georgia mountains ministering to teens, bringing them closer to Christ. Getting to see how the Lord moved in the teens' lives was the greatest gift of all, but the Lord poured out even more– this is an episode discussing the outpouring of those graces!

This is an amazing episode for our return. You can certainly look forward to more content in the future! Thank you for your continued prayers and support. The future is bright for SLC!

Welcome back everyone! In a very special episode, I'm joined by 3 very close brothers, Omar, Eric, and Liam, to discuss just how wild Camp Wildsky was and share some of the graces we've received from working camp. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it. If you're considering participating in LifeTeen Summer Missions, you'll hear our advice at the end!

What a journey it has been this past year, developing in prayer and maturing in this space. I cannot wait for what's to come with SLC... 'til then, enjoy.

As I said I would, I separated these goals from the episode so they could stand alone. We would love to have you as part of the SLC team!

Main goals:

- Record in Mission Way SEEK26

- Booth in Mission Way SEEK26

- Grow the team to 2-3 people beyond myself

- Take 3-4 people to SEEK26 to help table

Welcome back, everyone! As we welcome a new semester and a new year, we conclude the past two series with a grand finale! The question is: where are we headed? I explore this question in light of our candle, on track with our journey. The ultimate destination is the eternal light- so what must we do to get there?

Thank you everyone for your continued support and prayers! We have lofty goals for 2025, and we wouldn't be able to do any of it without you! Love and prayers.

Welcome back! Enzo here. This episode was more personal but also very special. I give an update on my life the past semester, but more so I give my piece of reflection on it all, along with Saint Lucy (whose feast was yesterday!), on what it means to try and find the light in the darkness around us. This is a minimally edited episode, so it's more raw thinking and plenty of silly moments! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me in this time. This time would have been a living hell without you.

Welcome back everyone for a very special episode! Today, on this very special day of our Lady, Vision of Saints founder Matthew Villarreal joins Enzo to talk about what the vision of saints is, both as a practical reminder of our call to greatness, and of course what VoS is as a clothing brand. Matt sheds light on his testimony and how it has brought him to where he is today, and Enzo talks about his experience with UD soccer and how it has propelled him to higher heights. With Psalm 27 and the help of St. Michael, who can stop us?

This episode is held deep to my heart. 2 years ago, this is about the last thing I could have expected. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Thank you for your love and prayers!

Welcome back! As the school year gets underway, we are beginning to normalize having guests on the podcast! You can expect a guest at least every other episode.

Today good friend Liam Caroll joins us to talk about the thrill of living life on the edge and what it means to look death in the face without fear. He also gives a little insight into his testimony and what sacrifices may be necessary in order to follow Christ.

The last 20 minutes Liam and Enzo have a small philosophical discussion that I think many of y'all may enjoy, so give this one the full listen! We love you all.

"Candle" will continue through Advent and Christmas. We'll be putting out shorter content specifically for Advent and Christmas.

Welcome back! As you may remember, we held an event on the UD campus where Enzo gave a keynote. Unfortunately, Enzo was silly and didn't record the talk, so here is a podcast form of it!

This serves as an excellent reflection on what SLC is, who it is for and why in the first place Enzo felt called to start this great family. We love you all, thank you for your prayers!

WE ARE RECRUITING! If any of you guys are interested in being a part of the SLC team as an editor, technical manager, videographer, social media manager, or even co-host or you simply want to guest, email send Enzo and email to [email protected].

Welcome back, everyone! Apologies for such a heavy delay- there has been a lot going on in my life, drastic changes this semester, and a hectic schedule. But I think that's perfect for this episode, which discusses what we must do to keep the candle alight! Thank you all for your support, patience, and prayers; know that I'm also praying for all of you. I love you guys so very much.
