The Youth Ministry CoreCast

We're back after a short break for Ash Wednesday and our parish Lenten Penance Service! Today's episode is a shorter one where Adam discusses how Lent is a great time to take stock of our spiritual lives, examine our own walk of discipleship, and be encouraged to continue growing. We're praying for you this Lent!

This episode brings our first new host of season two, EDGE and Anchor Coordinator, Mark Vallone. Mark joins Adam to talk about the importance of being prepared to share a personal witness(testimony) and how to begin the process of building your own witness. The first "homework" is also discussed...writing a spiritual autobiography to help you start forming your witness in your beautiful Core Journal!

In this episode we begin diving into this season's topic of evangelization by first talking about the "Good News". We break open the Gospel message and discuss why it is so important for us to first know the Gospel message before really diving into the work of evangelization. It's the end of a long day so we sound a little giddy at points...maybe it's just the joy of the Gospel? Pope Francis' Apostolic Exhortation, Joy of the Gospel: shorturl.at/bgmE8

We're back for season two! After a hiatus, CoreCast is back again to help build up Core members for Youth Ministry at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in The Woodlands, TX. This season will be focused on Evangelization: what is evangelization, how can we grow in being evangelists, what role does it play in youth ministry, and more. This episode features Adam and Paige introducing our theme for season two and beginning to discuss the importance of remaining evangelical in our youth ministry programs
