When the Lord calls us, it isn't always a thundering voice from the mountains. Often it is a gentle feeling from the Holy Spirit, quietly leading us if we have the ears to hear. This is often true when it comes to pursuing a deeper commitment to Holy Mother Church. Deacons occupy a special position in our communities, having many of the duties as a priest but still having the ability to have a spouse and families. In this episode, Nicholas sits down with John and Missy Neuman, currently in the deaconate program, to discuss the duties of a deacon and the process of becoming one.

What does it mean to be a part of the body of Christ? It means that we are charged with bringing the light and message of Christ into the world. It means serving one another in mind, body, and spirit. We all have a role to play, and no role is greater than another. All are necessary, all are welcome, all are called. Shai joins Nicholas to show us how we can listen to the call to service and have the heart to say "Here I Am, Lord".

Austin Peppenger is not Catholic. In fact, when he was young, he was taught to fear and hate Catholics, among others. As he has gone through life he has challenged many of the misconceptions he was raised with. One of those was a complete 180* on Holy Mother Church. After interactions with the faithful, attending Mass, and listening to the wisdom offered by the guests of VOXSFX, his perspective has gone from viewing us as a reviled enemy to a people of genuine comfort, love, and understanding. Join Nicholas as we view the Church through the eyes of one who has been opened up to the love of God and a new attitude towards the Catholic faith.
