(Ep. 1) Working for God: Open Your Heart, Open New Horizons

New Horizons: Living the Faith as a Young Professional

In this first episode of "New Horizons," Rob Hays introduces listeners to this mini-series for young professionals seeking to integrate their Catholic faith into daily life and work.

Outlining the game plan for this 7 episode series, Rob shares a bit about his background, the inspiration for the series, the common struggles and issues of the professional life, and the spiritual wisdom of St. Josemaria Escriva that transformed his perspective on work, faith, and life.

For Rob, St. Josemaria speaks more directly about the lay vocation and the importance of work as a means of sanctification than just about any other saint in history. To get us started, Rob explains how St. Josemaria helped him discover the meaning of working for God--that work matters, work is a prayer, and work is an integral part of everyone's path to holiness.

As Rob explains, "Our work in daily life as a way of expressing love of God will be a theme that weaves in and out of all of these episodes of the series, and it can be a revolutionary change for someone's work and prayer life."

Ready to begin? Rob invites you to have a willingness to be open to the Holy Spirit, a willingness to grow, a willingness to listen, and a willingness to change and take some risk.
