In today’s episode, I speak with Fr Michael White and Tom Corcoran about their book rebuilt FAITH. You will discover that this conversation isn’t just about the book and how it can impact people, but how this conversation speaks to the challenges we all face in our faith journey.

I would highly encourage you to grab a small group of friends and read this book together. It is a 40 day journey guiding you to explore God and his relevancy for your life.

In today’s episode we have our second conversation with Msgr Benwell around how to live out our call to be saints. In this episode we begin to discuss the process of Canonization. We begin discussing the first step toward Canonization called Servant of God. We talk about the relevancy of this first step not only for that individual but also how it can relate to our own lives. As you listen to the conversation, we hope it encourages you to look further into the lives of those who are currently considered Servants of God. Learning about their lives can be just as important as learning about those who have been Canonized.

In this episode I share with you how Respond, Encounter, and Witness are three key words that I like to reflect on in scripture reading The First Disciples found in the Gospel of John. I come back to this reading from time to time to reflect on my journey of discipleship with Christ and to grow in a deeper awareness of Respond, Encounter, and Witness.
