There Could Be More To You (Than You) | a talk on repentance and new life
from Not So Secular Podcast with Mon Reyes · host Mon Reyes
A common go-to response of people trying to encourage someone goes along the lines of, "you are enough," and "you just have to believe in yourself." But is that always true, though? Is it always helpful? These are some of the questions that Mon opens in a talk he gave recently which is featured in this episode. He discusses the meaning of the word, repentance. He shares with us the paradoxical invitation given in the Gospel for us to "reach the end of ourselves" and to make a gift of ourselves. Along the way, he also addresses a false understanding of self-love, and gives a short discussion of the Hero's Journey by Joseph Campbell.Music by Kayel MarceloSTUDY FURTHER:Mark 1:1-15Luke 17:332 Corinthians 5:17Salvifici Doloris & Gaudium Et Spes Youth Home Taft is the weekly gathering of the Feast for high school and college students in the Taft area.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/youthhometaft/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/youthhometaft/ Find all of Mon's links here: https://linktr.ee/talkswithmon(including how to book him as a speaker and how to support the show)
