Summary

Welcome to Season 4! We are so excited to start our new season in collaboration with Ascension. In our first episode we talk about our summer, introduce ourselves to our new listeners, but most importantly we share our perspective and our journey through the ongoing news of the scandals within the Church.

Discussion Questions:

1. What do you think is your role to play in restoring beauty in the Church?

In your stages of grieving the scandals in the Church, how can you invite Jesus in to heal and restore your heart?
What are some practical ways you can pray for the victims of abuse and the restoration of the Church?

Journal Questions:

1. What is holding you back from something that God is calling you to do?

Who is someone that you can encourage to offer their gifts in a specific way?
How is God calling you to be a part of the renewal of the Church?

Quote to Ponder:

"Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are." - St. Augustine
