"It's not about being right, it's about being effective." This week we have a conversation with Roy Petitfils about how we can meet our youth's spiritual spiritual needs while meeting there emotions needs at the same time. This conversation includes tools you can use with youth and with the parents of the young church.
Roy Petitfils is a Catholic psychotherapist specializing in work with teens. After a fatherless childhood of poverty, obesity and bullying (described poignantly in his TED talk), Roy experienced a hope-awakening college conversion which ultimately led to five years in seminary, almost a decade of teaching and youth ministry, and finally to professional counseling specializing in teens. Roy is a sought-after Catholic speaker well-known nationally in youth ministry circles. His podcast ‘Today’s Teenager’ is a must-listen, go-to resource for adults seeking to better understand, reach, and positively influence the teens in their lives. In this conversation, Roy takes us through his story from alienated teenager to one of the most insightful and wise voices of advocacy for youth in today’s church. Roy employs ’Empathic evangelization’ to describe his experience as both recipient and giver of the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Counselor and speaker Roy Petitfils joins the podcast to discuss the issues of today's teenagers and how Catholic schools can confront these issues and design better schools.
