Pokemon Go released this week and is not only fun and brilliantly nostalgic but if used well, it can help us improve physically, mentally and in evangelization.
In this session we discuss how the Catholic Church was instituted by Christ, exists to make saints and is God's love in action in today's world. We look through the Gospels to see the Church's origin, trace it's lineage back through the old testament and discover how it has lasted for 2000 years. If you've ever asked what Catholics believe about the Church, why we have a Pope, why we have priests or what it means to be a Catholic, then this is the video for you.
The Church exists in order to evangelize and make disciples. We all have a role to play in that mission! We can often be nervous about having conversations about faith but Taylor shares his best tips for how to evangelize our friends, family, coworkers, etc. We simply share our story of encountering God. So check out this week's video to hear about God's call for you to join His mission and be equipped to do just that!
In week 9 of our Catholic Foundations series, Sam Schoenfelder shares about answering the universal call to holiness. We can too often think that holiness is just for the priests or chosen few, but all of us are called to sainthood. How we respond is of the utmost importance.
In week 8 of our Catholic Foundations series, Jennifer Stavinoha explains why the Catholic Church shows honor to Mary and how she helps us through prayer and example as the first disciple of Christ. She also walks through the Marian Dogmas and shares her personal experiences of building a relationship with our Lady.
In week 7, Taylor Schroll shares about what the virtues are and how we can grow in a life of virtue. We discuss the theological virtues, the cardinal virtues, the things that hold us back from virtue and how to grow in all of them, especially the ones where we find ourselves lacking.
In week 6, Taylor takes a deep dive into the topic of sin: what it is, why we do it and how to limit it. He shares what we need to do in order to fight temptation as best we can so that we can grow in holiness.
In week 5, Taylor Schroll shares the story of salvation. We look at how all of the stories we may have heard dozens of times growing up actually all connect into one narrative about God's love for His people. We look to the great stories of the Old Testament and how they prepare us for the coming Christ and set up the 2000 year history of His Church of which we are now a part. The greatest story ever told.
In week four of our Foundations course, Jennifer Stavinoha gives us an introduction to the Sacraments and a deeper look into Baptism and Confession. How we live in the power of our Baptism and breaking through the barriers that keep us from the grace available in the confessional.
In week three of our Foundations course, Taylor Schroll teaches on the central mystery of our faith: The Trinity. We will explore how God revealed Himself as the Trinity, what that means for our understanding of who He is and our relationship with Him & dissect some of the main heresies in understanding of the Trinity throughout the Church's history.
