Episode 48 - Sharing the Faith: The Benefits of Restored Order

Dr. Tom Neal talks with Dr. Lenard Kelly about the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee's transition to Restored Order of the Sacraments of Initiation and family-centered faith formation. Dr. Kelly shares insights from his experience in the Diocese of Phoenix, which implemented Restored Order in 2005, emphasizing the importance of moving confirmation to an earlier age and refocusing catechesis on the family. He argues that faith is "caught more than taught" and that parents are the primary catechists, highlighting the need to move away from an "industrial conveyor belt" model of religious education.
