Baptism is the epic beginning of our participation in the Paschal Mystery of Christ. Today, I share an example of a Baptism class I recently gave which explains the biblical context behind the sacrament of Baptism, and how this powerful sacrament prepares us to live Christ’s mission incarnationally.
Snippet of the Show
The sacraments are the Church’s ministry of the incarnation throughout time and place, and tangible means through which we live the Paschal Mystery of Christ.

Started the podcast on Baptism but stopped it 20 minutes in. The person presenting sounded like a football commentator. His voice was full of hype and 90% of what I heard was an exposition of himself – very egoistical and seriously badly explained and presented. I was bored with his story in 2 minutes. He was annoying. In my opinion this podcast was a waste of my time with minimal information in the first 20 mins. Perhaps he finally got on topic but I couldn’t bear either the hype or his story so turned it off.BTW I am a Theology Masters student and this is the worst presentation I have ever listened too.
