Episode #126--"Launching A Movement of Evangelization"--1:1 Conversation with Jason Simon, President, Evangelical Catholic

This week’s Say Yes to Holiness podcast 1:1 Conversation is with Jason Simon, President of The Evangelical Catholic. Jason and I dove deep into why The Evangelical Catholic (EC) organization was begun, and also about the work that the organization is doing in order to ensure that lay people (us!) become courageous leaders helping to transform the world by fulfilling their mission in the world. In addition to talking about EC, Jason shared a bit of his own story--about how after working briefly in engineering, he began working in the Church as a parish Director of Religious Education and Youth Ministry. And then after experiencing the power of evangelization in the Church, his passion to see more lives impacted by the Holy Spirit grew tenfold, so he went seeking formation. In 2007, he graduated from the M.Div. Theology Program at the University of Notre Dame and then began leading the EC. Under his leadership, the Evangelical Catholic has experienced consistent expansion by equipping local Catholic leaders to not only be disciples, but disciple-makers. Jason and the EC’s staff built Reach More™ and Nextstep to equip Catholic lay leaders to fulfill the Great Commission. He lives in Madison, Wisconsin with his wife, Grace, and six children. This conversation with Jason was inspiring and extremely encouraging, especially in hearing about how lives are being transformed as a result of EC's work,. I hope that you continue to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to be able to share the Good News with others who are waiting to have their lives transformed.
