Dave “He Stole My Eggo” VanVickle and I are coming up with answers faster than the dusty magic 8-ball that’s probably still in your attic somewhere. We’re addressing your quick questions about parish life and evangelization including:

What’s the deal with stewardship parishes (parishes where your salary is on record so they’re sure you’re tithing fully)?
How can I make discipleship tracks in my parish?
How can I talk about Jesus when talking in general is hard enough? ... (I'm an introvert)
And how can I be a good witness when the first contact I have with someone is about sexual morality?

Snippet from the Show
“It’s easier to give money than it is to give your whole life.”

Five Practical Takeaways

Look for ways to bring the Holy Spirit into your daily job or hobby.
Look at local events and go to one of each: Kerygma, Catechesis, and Conquer.
Kerygma event - retreat or a speaker at your parish
Catechesis event - Bible study or other learning opportunity
Conquer event - outreach event at your parish, or volunteering opportunities
Five Minute Exercise: Go on YouTube and find videos that fall into the Kerygma, Catechesis, and Conquer categories above and maybe send them out. Ascension Presents has some good ones for you!
Intercessory Prayer: Prayers for Catholics involved in OBGYN and family medicine.
Introverted ways to evangelize: Do it online! Head over to Brandon Vogt’s Strange Notions and read up, or consume “Classical Theism Podcast” and share it out there on your social feeds.
