    Discerning the priest life! [Ft. William deGuzman and Ryan Bender]

    What does it mean to hear God calling you to something more? In our newest episode of Voices of Gesu: Stories of Faith, Spirit, and City, we sit down with two young men at different points on their journey of discernment. William de Guzman, a senior at Marquette University, who is currently discerning his vocation and applying to enter the Society of Jesus. Ryan Bender, a recent Marquette University graduate, has taken that next step and has now entered the Jesuits. Together, William and Ryan share what first drew them toward the Society of Jesus, what it means to discern a vocation in today's world, the questions and uncertainties that come with saying "yes," and the role faith, Marquette, and the Jesuit community have played along the way. At a time when we often hear about declining vocations, their stories are a beautiful reminder that God is still calling. Young people are still listening. And the Spirit is still at work. 🎧 Listen, follow, and share Voices of Gesu wherever you listen to podcasts, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music. And perhaps their stories will encourage each of us to ask: Where is God calling me? AMDG

In this introductory episode, you'll meet our hosts, Fr. Michael Simone, S.J., Pastor; Fr. Thomas Anderson, S.J., Associate Pastor; and Darby Koehne, Director of Advancement, and hear each of their Gesu stories.
