Restoring the Hearts of Priests w/ Matt Rudolph

This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Matt Rudolph, co-founder of Chrism which is a ministry for priests. Matt dives into the challenges faced by priests today including a need for community,  support in embracing imperfections, and formation that emphasizes personal healing. They also share their visions for a more integrated approach to the priesthood that fosters true spiritual fatherhood. Matt ends the episode by sharing how Chrism supports priests in becoming happy, healthy, and holy in their vocations.   Key Points: Many priests experience loneliness and isolation in their ministry Human formation is also relational, not just intellectual Priests need to be known and not just loved by their parishioners Formation needs to continue beyond seminary and into the priest's ministry at a parish A thriving priesthood requires happiness, health, and holiness Personal woundedness can impact how a priest is leading his parish   Resources: Chrism Priest Ministries Website Wounds Assessment - send an email to [email protected] (click here for more information) Freedom Series for priests with the JPII Healing Center   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!
