Are you struggling to find your new normal? How do we live out our Catholic faith when churches are closed and we no longer have the Sacraments? The COVID pandemic may have turned our lives upside down, but our mission remains: that every heart will encounter and say “yes” to the invitation of God’s love. Today I’m joined by my amazing co-host John Foxon as we unpack the Good News in the midst of so much bad news. John shares his story and how he came to be a Catholic missionary, we talk sports, and we explore the ways that you too can continue the mission.
