Evangelization is not just for Protestants, apologists, priests, or for… well… evangelists. Christ and His Church mandate all believers to proclaim the Gospel. Let’s be honest, this divine mandate can instill fear and dread in most of us. In today’s episode, John, Sam, and Devin reveal the 5 major evangelization mistakes that can trip us up and counter techniques that will help all of us better evangelize. From misrepresenting God to the pitfalls of being overly agreeable, we offer real-life stories to help you share your faith more effectively.


Major Evangelization Mistakes

Today we are joined by Fr. Mary-Mary Ames of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal to discuss the depth of fatherhood in a search to answer: Who is God the Father? We discuss Fr. Mary-Mary's conversion story that led him to serve the poorest of the poor and sleeping on the floor, to how God the Father has brought him to a deep understanding of His love. Through incredible stories of biological earthly fathers, we shed light on how these men can give us a glimpse of God the Father.

Women need the strength of men. It is not just a biological reality but one that expands to all aspects of a man's relationship with a woman. Regardless of what popular opinion, ideologies, or political agendas might suggest, without the strength of men our society would crumble. Today, Sam, Devin, and John discuss a recent Kent State University study that aimed to prove masculinity is inherently flawed and dominating and that the more awareness of this issue the better our society will be. Instead, it proved the opposite because of what it failed to realize about love and the benefits of masculinity. From here we discuss 5 ways women need the strength of men.
We also get to answer a question from a listener whose girlfriend is more advanced in her faith 'credentials' than him and he is concerned about how he will lead.
