Join as they dive into powerful stories of discipleship and mission through the lens of recent guest interviews, exploring the transformative moments that shape authentic Christian witness and community building. • Bold leadership decisions make space for the lost, as demonstrated by a youth minister who chose struggling teens over volunteer convenience • Creating time and space for authentic response to the gospel is crucial, particularly in retreat settings where distractions are minimized • Having five invested, faith-filled adults in a young person"s life significantly increases the likelihood of maintaining faith beyond high school • The "art of Christian living" forms the foundation of effective missionary work, focusing on internal growth that fuels external ministry • Ordinary settings like sports teams and family gatherings provide opportunities to model virtues over outcomes • Observant, intentional relationships create openings for divine encounters, as seen in Weston"s six-hour breakfast with Jared • Boldly extending invitations beyond comfort zones often results in unexpected growth and mission opportunities • True discipleship requires scandalous amounts of time and investment that may seem counterproductive but yield profound fruit Jayce also announces that he"s leaving the archdiocese for a new position and we wish him all the best!
