God Hit Him in the Face With a Brick. Now He's About To Become a Priest. (Dcn. Gaten Armstrong) - Ep. 107

In 35 days, Deacon Gaten Armstrong will be ordained a Catholic priest. He never could have imaged God would call him to this vocation. In this interview, Deacon Gaten tells the story of how God called him to the priesthood, the fears he still has about being a priest, the monastic vocation he was briefly attracted to, and his take on the generational change in Catholic conversions in the United States.📚The book Deacon Gaten mentioned: https://amzn.to/4u5JXlBTo reach out or collaborate with Donald Paul:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donaldpaulmaddox/Donald Paul's Substack: https://indefenseoftheology.substack....Get started with your Catholic formation with these formation guides: https://stan.store/InDefenseofTheology📚SHOP BOOKS IN THE STUDIO:The Word on Fire Bible (Volume I): The Gospels: https://amzn.to/3ORZIxEIgnatius Press Study Bible (Personal Size): https://amzn.to/4bS3K0qCatechism of the Catholic Church: https://amzn.to/3NFWb53Confessions (Tan Classics): https://amzn.to/48cMu4VAn Introduction to the Devout Life (Tan Classics): https://amzn.to/4sCUnZTReach out to Donald Paul!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donaldpaulmaddox/📚SHOP BOOKS IN THE STUDIO:Ignatius Press Study Bible (Personal Size): https://amzn.to/4bS3K0qCatechism of the Catholic Church: https://amzn.to/3NFWb53I Believe in Love: https://amzn.to/4sGff2iConfessions (Tan Classics): https://amzn.to/48cMu4VAn Introduction to the Devout Life (Tan Classics): https://amzn.to/4sCUnZTSt. Gregory's Prayer Book: https://amzn.to/4deriPAYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu_uB2bUoOVGC6grNuTJ5Ag
