Ep 12 - Father's Day: Celebrating Charisms in Biological and Spiritual Fathers

On this episode of Charisms for Catholics, Jill Simons talks about "Charisms + Fatherhood," released on Father's Day. The podcast discusses spiritual gifts called Charisms that help people discern the Holy Spirit's activity in their lives. Jill speaks about how the Holy Spirit moves differently in all men and how it's important to understand and value that, also drawing attention to the importance of identifying what the Holy Spirit is doing is important to value it. Men are called to emulate Christ through extravagant self-sacrifice, and Father's Day celebrates the aspect of Christ in spiritual and biological fathers. Jill suggests ideas for leading in fatherhood from a place of one's Charisms and putting the Holy Spirit first. The episode also touches on areas of fatherhood where there has been wounding and hurt, and reminds men not to interact with shame but to have a conversation with the Holy Spirit on how to show up differently in similar situations and what gifts to lean on for encouragement. The podcast emphasizes that fathers should stay curious about how they can decrease and let God increase, which will enrich and ripen the fruit of their fatherhood and bring greater freedom.  Learn more about charisms and charism discernment at https://manypartsministries.com.
