What does it mean to be sons and daughters who are living true masculinity and femininity? In a world that has kind of a broken understanding of masculinity and femininity, it seems that our identities as sons and daughters of God—the idea of masculinity and femininity, have been hijacked and somehow misunderstood. This is why it's just so important to understand our hearts and reorient ourselves to what we are supposed to be doing as a man or a woman.

We are going through the different facets of what it means to have a redeemed masculinity or femininity and how that aids in the restoration of our sonship or daughtership.

As we gear up for SEEK, we're filled with excitement to share the transformative power of following Jesus. This episode is inspired by John 8:12, this year's theme "Follow Me". 

We unravel the complexities of surrendering to Jesus' call, a path that requires both external  and internal shifts. We analyze the profound demands of discipleship, illustrated by Peter’s struggle in Mark’s Gospel. Our discussion underscores the tension between worldly allure and spiritual truth, drawing inspiration from the unyielding faith of St. Charles Lwanga and his companions, who remind us of the joy and humanity in steadfast faith.

Through the teachings of Pope Benedict XVI, we affirm that this journey is about inner transformation, not just external acts. Reflecting on personal testimonies from SEEK 2019, such as the powerful impact of Eucharistic adoration, we illustrate how these experiences can shape personal and vocational paths.
