Are You Ready to Preach the Gospel?

In this episode of Unwritten, Trevor  sits down with Javier Lugo to talk about Javier’s year-long journey guiding a college freshman named Juan Carlos from spiritual rock bottom into the Catholic Church.Whether you're a missionary seeking insight into effective evangelization, or just curious about the movement of the Holy Spirit in the world today, this conversation will illustrate the joy and richness of leading others to faith in the Lord and show that readiness to receive someone is often more important than having all the right answers.What You’ll Hear:• Javier Lugo (Javi) shares his initial meeting with Juan Carlos, a strong, quiet, interested freshman in Miami who reached out seeking to explore Catholicism after struggling with a troublesome high school experience and hitting a type of rock bottom.• The intentional spiritual walk, which included Javi being Juan Carlos’s parish companion, reading influential books like Rome Sweet Home and Case for Christ, praying the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet, and eventually seeing Juan Carlos enroll in OCIA and move from a place of doubt into a place of trust and full abandonment to Christ.• The incredibly emotional climax when Juan Carlos was baptized, confirmed, and received his first communion at the Easter Vigil. As they walked toward the priest, Juan Carlos started to weep, and his whole body was almost in shock, leading Javi, his sponsor, to realize the monumental moment of blessing occurring right in front of them.Hit follow or subscribe so you don’t miss future episodes!
