Horn shares details behind how IPF was founded, the significance of St. Ignatius' spiritual exercises in priestly formation, and the beauty of how formation has evolved within the Church. They also discuss the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the importance of addressing the roots of sin, and the heart-level transformation that occurs when we bring our fears to the Lord.    Key Points: The Institute for Priesthood Formation was founded to address the need for spiritual formation Confession can become more than just a repetitive listing of sins It is important to examine our hearts before we go to Confession Finding the roots of our sin and bringing them to God in Confession can lead us to greater intimacy with Him Confession can unlock our true selves and thus transform communities   Resources: The #1 resource is attending an annual silent directed retreat Institute for Priestly Formation Website Amoris Christi Institute  Amoris Christi Institute - Trifold on Confession (downloadable PDF) Healing the Whole Person Virtual Retreat (August 4-8th, 2025)   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!
