The things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least. The Church has the most important mission on the planet, "Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:18). The Family is the most important institution in the history of humanity, "The future of the world and the Church passes through the family" (Saint John Paul II). This podcast is a conversation about Leadership Where it Matters Most.

    Signs of Hope in the Church

    In today’s episode, Brett shares surprising and hopeful trends in the Church. Namely, the reported increases in the number of adults entering the Catholic Church. Dioceses across the United States, Canada, England, and Australia have all reported increases, even record numbers of adults becoming Catholic. He also shares recent data showing that the once staggering increase in “Religious Nones” has all but stopped. In fact, in the past two years, there has been a slight decrease in the number of people reporting their lack of religious affiliation. The episode concludes with Brett commenting and expanding on some of the recent teachings from Bishop Barron on how to strategically reach the “nones.”   References: https://thecatholicherald.com/adult-baptisms-in-france-rise-for-fourth-year-in-succession-show-accelerating-growth/   https://www.ncregister.com/cna/nonreligious-population-in-u-s-has-plateaued   https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/263161/post-election-data-shows-nonreligious-population-in-us-has-plateaued   https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/the-nones-have-hit-a-ceiling   https://www.oursundayvisitor.com/bishop-barrons-five-paths-for-bringing-the-unaffiliated-back-to-the-church/   Subscribe/Rate Never miss out on an episode by subscribing to the podcast on whatever platform you are listening on.
