Catholics Living Discipleship
Welcome to the Catholics Living Discipleship podcast. Here we talk with individuals about how they grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. We also have conversations with parish leadership to discuss evangelization initiatives and parish life strategies that are helping them to be more missionary. We hope these stories and discussions provide encouragement, awaken transformation, and inspire mission.
