An Explosion of Faith with Fr. Jacob Dumont

from Just A Guy In The Pew Podcast · host John Edwards

"What happens when young Catholics stop sitting on the sidelines? Today Fr. Jacob Dumont, a local superior for the Legionaries of Christ in Cincinnati and my spiritual director, joins us in the pew to talk about the explosion of faith happening in the Church right now. This is happening in particular among younger people, and so many of them are searching for truth, purpose, and something real, and are finding it exactly where we’d hope: in the Catholic Church, which contains the fullness of truth. In this episode, we’re talking about: - Why young people are hungry for real faith and relationships - How accompaniment keeps people from falling away - What it means to trust God enough to step out of your comfort zone Fr. Jacob shares stories from campus ministry and from his own priesthood that show how powerful one “yes” can be. If you’ve been feeling called to go deeper or wondering where God is calling you, I hope this episode is a reminder that renewal starts with you." Many of us live in the past or in the future, and we’re not present to anything. The devil loves to use this tactic to rob us, to get us listening to the wrong voice and pulling us away from the one thing we can do something about: the present moment. We talked last week about some of those voices and who they’re coming from. Today Victor and I follow this theme some more and talk about what happens when we listen to those voices and focus on the things we can’t change. We can’t change the past, and the future is unknown. But to God, everything is present. He’s present. And with Him is where He wants you to be. So be present with us for a little while, and then go and be present with your friends, your family, and with God. “Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself.” (Matthew 6:34) Check out the Legionaries of Christ: https://rcohiovalley.org/legionaries Follow this link to order your signed copy today: https://store.justaguyinthepew.com/ Learn more about our pilgrimage: Walk in the Footsteps of Pope St. John Paul II with John 👉https://selectinternationaltours.com/product/in-the-footsteps-of-st-john-paul-ii-pilgrimage-to-poland-with-john-edwards-and-fr-kacper-wojcieszko/ Launch a Life Changing Group for Men in Your Parish! ⛪️ http://www.justaguyinthepew.com Become a Partner in the Pew! 🤝 http://www.donorbox.org/pew DOWNLOADS📚 Get a copy of my new eBook, “12 Ways Guys Can Get Closer to Jesus”! http://JUSTAGUYINTHEPEW.COM/EBOOK
