We always hear the stories of the 12 disciples at Sunday mass, but when do we ever get to hear the stories of modern, or current day, disciples? In this podcast, we interview some holy people around the Diocese of San Jose to hear their encounter story, how they ended up in their current ministry, and why they still do what they do. We hope their stories inspire you to continue to seek God and encourage you in your own ministries.

    Radical Forgiveness

    Radical Forgiveness

    Join us this week as Kev & Ana jump into various topics - cultural faith, true forgiveness, and Ignatian Presupposition. What does it mean to truly forgive another? How can true healing take place when we invite God into that reconciliation with another? Grace upon grace can reign down if we look upon another through the eyes of Christ. There is no better time for healing than Lent, how can you forgive another or forgive yourself this Lent?
