#84 - Growing Up Catholic: Daring Religions To Be More Like Jesus

from Upon This Rock · host Father Don Farnan

John O’Connor IV joins Father Don Farnan to talk about how a large Catholic family impacted him in many ways, including the ways of faith. One of the oldest of nearly fifty cousins, he bridged generations and, while most of his extended family is very connected to the church now, his questioning mind dares religions to be more like Jesus and less tied to systems and structures that sought to honor, and often diverted from, His message. Johnny’s insights may spur good conversation within families about faith and religion.Follow Father Don:Website: farnanspiritualitycenter.comBlog: fatherdonfarnan.comSt. Francis Xavier Parish #farnanspiritualitycenter#fatherdonfarnan#uponthisrockpodcastLike this podcast?
