How do we come back to our parishes after a year of so much chaos and change? Today, I share a recent talk I gave to young adults about returning to a new normal, where the laity is no longer passive, but rather on fire with the Holy Spirit to spread the Gospel and transform society.
Snippet from the Show
“Connection is more important than perfection.”

It’s time to stop walking towards our salvation and start running towards Christ with our whole hearts like never before.

The Activated Disciple: Taking Your Faith to the Next Level
Practice Is Over. It’s Game Time.
The Activated Disciple teaches you how to imitate God, so you can become an instrument for him to transform the world.
If you yearn for a life that moves beyond believing and practicing, if you yearn to become an “activated” disciple, then this book is for you. The foundation of discipleship is imitation. The Activated Disciple learns to walk in the ways of the Lord. Discipleship requires such a close relationship with God that every area of your life is transformed. It is about opening yourself to God and inviting him to dwell within you, becoming holy as he is holy, loving as he is loving. By imitating God, disciples become the instruments God employs to transform the world.
