"The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness." - Pope Benedict XVI
You don't have to look around long to see that the world needs Catholics that are willing to boldly live their faith. Unfortunately, many of us can often find ourselves retreating back into the comfort and safety of those like us. While there is nothing wrong with surrounding ourselves with like minded people, we must never close the door to those in need or become uninviting to the unchurched. Jesus never said you are not welcome in my group or at my table and neither should we. Listen in this week as John and Victor discuss the importance of fighting the urge to retreat back into the comfort and safety of the initiated while challenging us to become the missionary disciples we are called to be. It's time to get uncomfortable.
In this episode John and Victor discuss:
- The need to return to the mentality of a missionary church
- Fighting the urge to close ourselves off in small groups that aren't welcoming to those in need.
- Running towards the unchurched instead of away from them.
- Loving people the way Jesus did
