Neil and I talk about my new job, then the state of Youth Ministry and Confirmation and we make arguments for and against restored order 66 (lol, you’ll get it if you listen). This led us to talking about the importance of Youth Group as growth in discipleship.
\n\nThe conversation turns to formation for adults and young adult formation in the diocese and turning the emphasis to small group communities that lead to events rather than events to form small groups and how this might actually encourage continual growth.

\n\nI’m drinking nothing but water while I teach this class on the Sacramental Economy. I take a quote from the Catechism (CCC 1131) and break it open showing the Old Testament prefigures, how Jesus perfect it, and how through the Holy Spirit all that belongs to Jesus is given to us for his glory (Jn 16:14). I close off with the reciprocal nature of the Sacraments, how we are not mercenaries working for blessing, but rather we approach the sacraments in the spirit of thanksgiving and in the obedience of Faith.

In this 2 parter we first talk about our good friend and Bishop GLT and his opening address to the conference including the 5 goals he would like to accomplish during the Eucharistic revival. Then we briefly discuss Dr. Scott Hahn’s evening Keynote after our good buddy Garret brings us a couple glasses of wine “the finest wine of Idaho”. Key take away is that the Eucharist was a “Sacrament before it was a document” great line!
\n\nThere are two fantastic interviews here in part 1, the first with Tim Glemkowski, the Executive Director of the National Eucharistic Congress, and the second with the Diocese’s own Anna Forsberg, the Director of Children’s Ministry at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. With Tim, Neil wasn’t there so I interviewed him about the Eucharistic revival and how to keep it from just being an event and how we can make it a catalyst for something in our lives. Anna talks with Neil and I about Sabbath rest and she recommends a book called The Relentless Elimination of Hurry

Well I didn’t like it, it’s way too sweet and has a strange caramel/vanilla flavor like artificial syrups, but Neil thought it was good. Although I’m pretty sure he would drink rubbing alcohol if that was all he had in the cabinet.

This was originally recorded right after Father's Day. I screwed up on the recording so the sound quality isn't very good, but the conversation quality is great!
\n\nNeil and I share some Glenlivet Scotch and we discuss Father's Day, going to Mass with small children, the existence of God and why it matters, we also talk Eucharist and our wives!
