The Shepherd's Voice

Archbishop Naumann interviews first-time author Julie Overlease about her book Hope Upon Impact, as she tells the story of God's grace in a time of family crisis.  Special guest, Bishop James Coneley joins the discussion as well.

On the lovely spring afternoon of April 20, 2018, a backyard tree cracked, and a heavy limb fell. 12-year-old Evelyn suffered a devastating blow to her head as she shielded her puppy. A significant, compressed skull fracture required emergency neurosurgery. This freak, life-threatening event shook the Overlease family to the core, and an unbelievable experience was instantly set in motion that may take a lifetime to fully understand.   The astounding details surrounding Evelyn’s accident, medical care, and recovery are crazier than fiction. First-time author Julie Overlease tells the story in close detail, with frankness and honesty. This is a book of hope and miracles, in which Evelyn’s mother tells a story of faith in action during a time of crisis, of prayer through pain and darkness, of devoted friendship, and the great goodness and love of God.

Archbishop Naumann shares some rosary reflections on forgiveness in conversation with Mike Scherschligt of the Holy Family School of Faith while they pray the rosary with Chuck Jansen of Forgiveness Institute KC.

"We are not to be purveyors of vengeance, but as St. Paul says we are called to be ambassadors of mercy." 

Naumann talks with Cari Olberding and Denise Ogilvie of Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas about how COVID has increased need while also decreasing volunteers.
