However, the Ascension calls us to consider allowing what happens to us become a part of our story and call...What will you do with what has happened to you?"Colleen Campbell Karchunas is a pastoral minister passionate about formation and accompaniment, especially as understood by Pope Francis. She has served in various Catholic settings, walking with leaders, youth, and students on their faith journeys.

DescriptionHave you ever wondered what it would be like, as a layperson to go from listening to homilies to giving them? I know I have. What if you as a ministry leader, professor, and conference speaker were also called to be a Deacon in the Catholic Church? You've been giving talks, thousands of them, for many years and now you are giving homilies in a local Church on a weekly basis. What would that transition be like? What are the challenges, hiccups, and new lessons to learn?Well, if you've ever wondered what that would be like - you are in for a treat today - actually either way you are in for a treat today, as I sit down with the one and only Deacon Bob Rice to discuss his convictions around teaching and preaching, but also a deep dive on what it's like to begin giving homilies as a Deacon. Bob Rice loves being Catholic. He is a husband, father of seven, permanent deacon for the diocese of Steubenville, and Professor of Catechetics at Franciscan University of Steubenville. He has a PhD in Theology from Liverpool Hope University where he researched Catholic youth and evangelization. Deacon Bob is a highly sought after presenter, author of many books and articles, and the co-host of a popular weekly podcast called They That Hope with Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR.

"If people are fearful (of dying), it's because they don't have a relationship with God and that makes all the difference in the attitude," said Dr. Paul Chaloux, author of the new book "Dying Without Fear." Dr. Chaloux was a chemical engineer for over 30 years and, in 2015, after earning a master's degree in religious education from Fordham University and retiring from IBM, Paul was accepted into the PhD program at the Catholic University of America to study Catechetics, with the goal of teaching future catechists. However, his plans changed dramatically when he was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's Disease just after moving to Washington, DC for his studies. His new neurologist, after learning that Paul was studying theology, asked him why people suffer. He had no answer since it was not his intended field of study, but the question intrigued him enough to cause him to take up the subject. Five years later, having earned his PhD in moral theology, Dr. Chaloux wrote Why We Suffer for general audiences as a follow on to his dissertation, The Grace Concealed in Suffering: Developing Virtue and Beatitude, which he defended at CUA on March 5, 2020. Dr. Chaloux currently teaches theology as an adjunct professor at the Catholic University of America and serves as a catechist at St. Agnes Parish in Arlington, Virginia. He has been married for over thirty years to his wife Sue and they have 4 adult children and 2 granddaughters. To learn more, visit: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/dying-without-fear/

“Sacred art is true and beautiful when its form corresponds to its particular vocation: evoking and glorifying, in faith and adoration, the transcendent mystery of God – the surpassing invisible beauty of truth and love visible in Christ” (CCC 2052). As the Church in the United States seeks to foster a Eucharistic revival, might the beauty of sacred art be a privileged avenue for teaching all the faithful––along with those estranged from the Church––to discover anew the resplendent beauty of our Eucharistic Lord? In a new book organized around 12 works of sacred art with Eucharistic themes, my guest today has laid out a path for us to journey together to the beauty of God. Jem Sullivan is the author of Way of Beauty: Rekindling Eucharistic Amazement through Visio Divina, which is out now from Our Sunday Visitor. Dr. Sullivan is Associate Professor of Catechetics in the School of Theology and Religious Studies at the Catholic University of America. In addition to Way of Beauty, she is also the author of several other books, including The Beauty of Faith: Using Sacred Art to Spread the Good News and Believe, Celebrate, Live, Pray: A Weekly Walk with the Catechism. She joins me today to talk about Eucharistic Amazement, sacred art, the practice of visio divina, and our transformation as Christians through the presence and the calling of Jesus Christ.Follow up Resources:Way of Beauty: Rekindling Eucharistic Amazement through Visio Divina, by Jem Sullivan (OSV 2023)“Our Eucharistic God, with Jonathan Ciraulo” via Church Life Today“The Past, Present, and Future of the Eucharist, with Michael Hahn” via Church Life Today“Redeeming Vision from Pornography, with Steve Pokorny” via Church Life TodayThis episode is sponsored by Religious Freedom Week 2023, http://www.usccb.org/ReligiousFreedomWeekChurch Life Today is a partnership between the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame and OSV Podcasts from Our Sunday Visitor.

“I'm convinced most of our problems in catechesis is we spend more time talking about what God wants of us than who God is.” Deacon Bob Rice, professor of Catechetics at Franciscian University of Steubenville, joins us to dive into the heart of catechesis, what our youth are most hungry for, how we can share the Gospel with those far from God, and how to make the bridge between dogma and everyday life. “They all need Jesus. They just don't know they need Jesus.” Show Notes: (00:12) Edmund kicks off the episode by introducing the guest: Deacon Bob Rice. He's a Catholic deacon, professor, podcaster, speaker, musician, and author at the Franciscan University of Steubenville. Edmund starts the conversation by asking Deacon Bob, “How did you first discover the Catechism?” Deacon Bob shares his mystical experience while reading the Catechism for the first time, and emphasizes that it's an expression of the deposit of faith and not the deposit of faith itself.(06:50) The importance of the preparation step: “Catechesis is oftentimes almost presented like an answer to a question no one was asking.” Deacon Bob and Edmund discuss the Ecclesial method and the importance of preparation in catechesis. They stress the need to understand the audience and their struggles instead of focusing solely on programs. Deacon Bob emphasizes that we need to see the goodness in people and treat catechesis as a way to build relationships and understand their needs.(14:55) “How do you know when it's time to talk about Jesus?” Deacon Bob emphasizes that building relationships and understanding people is key to evangelizing effectively. He reminds us that everyone is made in the image and likeness of God and shares the importance of seeing the good in others. “Culture is made up of men and women who are made in the image and likeness of God.“ =(20:33) Formally handing on the faith: advice to parents, teachers, and catechists. Dcn. Rice gives us his insights into how to bring “dogma into everyday life.” He shares, “love how the Catechism is structured. Morality is called Life in Christ. So it's about being like Jesus.” He gives us three things to keep in mind: First, “Always make it about Jesus.”  Second, use the beauty of your own witness and that of the saints. Third, connect everything to the Gospel message.(26:57) “What do you see as the hunger in our youth?” Our guest shares that he sees human contact as the greatest hunger right now with young people. Additionally, he adds “truth and being able to trust the source” are dynamics young people struggle with right now.   An OSV Podcasts partner.

John has served in Catholic ministry for many years and brings to the podcast a wealth of wisdom and fever for sharing the Catholic faith. Together with our host, he discusses the power of experiences, practical ways to share the faith in your home, and what's giving him hope these days.   Shownotes: (00:04) Edmund and Emily welcome you to this episode of Real+True's podcast.

He holds a B.A. in art, M.A. in practical theology, and an M.Ed. in educational leadership & administration. John shares the mission of Catholic education, “it's not a concept, it's an encounter with a person. It's an encounter with the living God through Jesus Christ.” (05:55) “How do you encourage teachers to help form students within Catholic education while also knowing that some of it is just up to God's grace?” Our hosts and guests take time to wonder at the power of God's grace and his specific plan of conversion for each soul. They talk about the many seeds that were planted in their hearts through Catholic education. (11:27 ) Emily shares, “If you're involving students in those experiences, then it's gonna be seen as not just information, but more relevant to their lives.” The discussion covers the power of experiences in helping students encounter Christ. Emily and John share about their testimonies and how they came to encounter God, encounters that we built on their previous Catholic education. The discussion goes on to cover the issue of ‘relevance' and how to bring students to an understanding of God in their lives. (22:54) Practical ways to bring faith into your home and “creating that culture of encounter for students.” John discusses how he as a father shares his faith with his daughter, including praying with her before bed. He discusses how many children evangelize their parents and often families grow together in the faith if the children are engaging their faith in school. (27:07) ‘What excites you about the future of Catholic education?” John shares the hope he has to be seeing ministries like Real+True share the Gospel and bring the light of the Catholic faith to our world. He shares that the Church has changed in his lifetime and is growing and that brings him hope.An OSV Podcasts partner.

DescriptionIf you are a parent and you are trying to raise your kids Catholic you have undoubtedly heard one of them say: “Mass is boring.” “Church is boring.” “The Catholic stuff is lame.” Have you ever heard that? I'm sure you have! I know I have. And a lot of times we blame the kids for this take - like they just need to mature and “see the light”, but is it really all their fault? Or have we the teachers, preachers, and catechists failed to find creative and engaging ways to share the greatest story ever told? I think that's a big part of the equation. The founder of Young Life, Jim Rayburn, an evangelical Protestant ministry to high school kids is quoted as saying: "We believe it is sinful to bore kids with the gospel. Christ is the strongest, grandest, most attractive personality to ever grace the earth. But a careless messenger with the wrong method can reduce all this magnificence to the level of boredom …. It is a crime to bore anyone with the gospel."Those are some powerful words to reflect on and while this particular quote didn't come up in our conversation, my guest today, Edmund Mitchell is doing everything he can to share the truth of Catholicism with passion, joy, and creativity. Edmund is a graduate of Franciscan University where he studied Theology & Catechetics. He's the co-founder of Real+True, a project of Our Sunday Visitor, which creates videos, podcasts, and social media to unlock the catechism of the Catholic Church for the world. Check out Real+True right here: www.realtrue.orgHere's the video Edmund referenced on the Resurrection, called: Why Catholics Believe in “life everlasting”Links:For more information about the Better Preach Podcast visit: www.ryanohara.org/betterpreachBetter Preach is a proud member of Spoke Street, a Catholic Podcast Network that amplifies the voice of the Creator through fostering content that invites.

Summary: Dive into Unit 7, which brings to focus the center of our faith: Jesus Christ. Explore the heart of the Catechism as your hosts Emily and Edmund explain how these videos can be used to share the faith. Learn about a strategy change for the Proclamation video, and learn what lines are “worth the whole Catechism” in the Explanation video. We touch on feedback from a listener, newly published discussion guides, and much more. Take a listen! Shownotes:  (00:11) Edmund Mitchell and Emily Mentock welcome you to this episode of the Real + True podcast. This episode brings to life Unit 7, which covers CCC 422-682 and its thesis is: Jesus Christ is true God and true man. The three videos for this unit are: Proclamation: Was Jesus a real person (or really God)? Explanation: Why did God become man? Connection:  What does it mean to have a relationship with God?  (3:00) Emily addresses a strategy change for this unit. This includes a shift from the usual focus of the first video in the unit. The proclamation is typically less religious and focuses on creating common ground with the audience, and drawing from their own life experiences. Because Jesus is the focus of this unit, the first unit includes a discussion about Jesus. The focus is on Jesus as a historical figure, and not so much as a religious leader.  (5:54) Edmund reminds us that “All of Catechesis directs itself back to Jesus Christ.” CCC 426  “At the heart of catechesis we find, in essence, a Person, the Person of Jesus “ Every doctrine is related to Jesus. Catechesis is not about learning facts or truths but is about encountering the person of Jesus.  (8:22) The almost-interview: Edmund shares a story of his friend JP meeting Gordon Ramsey. The story illustrates the point that we can know a lot about someone but encountering someone person-to-person is a very different thing. A personal relationship is built when we encounter someone personally. Edmund mentions Walker Percy's The Loss of the Creature.  (14:00) Stand out Catechism paragraph: Edmund's standout section is CCC 460: “The Word became flesh to make us "partakers of the divine nature": "For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God." This caught his because it illustrates how radical it is that God calls us to share in the divine life of God.” Emily's standout passage is CCC 561: "The whole of Christ's life was a continual teaching: his silences, his miracles, his gestures, his prayer, his love for people, his special affection for the little and the poor, his acceptance of the total sacrifice on the Cross for the redemption of the world, and his Resurrection are the actualization of his word and the fulfillment of Revelation". This statement was powerful to Emily because it displays God's model for how we can live in relation to others.  (20:12) Shout out to a listener: Roy Sibaja! (24:02) The Unit 7 Explanation video explores the mystery of “why did God become man?” Emily and Edmund share about their childhood images of what God looks like. And how the focus of the video brings to light the reasons God became man: love, reconciliation, holiness, and the divine life. Barbara Morgan, the founder of the Catechetics department at the Franciscan University of Steubenville would say, “These four paragraphs are worth the whole Catechism.” (24:48) Connection Video: What does it mean to have a relationship with God? This video is a fun and dynamic video which asks questions that prompt the watchers to encounter the truth of who Jesus is. “That's what all of it is about.” Edmund shares about how his experience in college of friends who talked about Jesus in a personal way helped Edmund re-evaluate how he was relating to Jesus. “Rules without relationship lead to rebellion.”  (36:26) Real + True Discussion Guides...
