Life is infused with moments that can either lead us towards or away from deeper spiritual conversations. How do we navigate and allow them to bring us deeper into Love? This episode guides you through the subtle art of weaving the good news of Jesus into your daily interactions, without overwhelming those you encounter. Jeff and Mike dissect the cues that can lead to meaningful discussions about faith, emphasizing the importance of radiating blessings and genuine connection. We also explore how technology, especially through a new Bible and Catechism app, shapes our understanding of scripture and faith, addressing the Church's position on gender and AI's burgeoning role in our lives.
Lastly, they step into the raw and transformative world of prison ministry, sharing astonishing stories of redemption and the impact of the Great Adventure Bible study within the walls. You'll hear about the life-changing engagements that occur between inmates and volunteers, and how a singular focus on life in Christ can guide us through a maze of spiritual practices.
