Aim For What Gives Life
Growing up is more than getting older—it’s learning how to make choices, face consequences, and become the person you hope to be. Father Gene reflects on maturity, mistakes, peer pressure, and the quiet courage it takes to choose what gives life instead of what tears it down.
We live in a throwaway culture where it can feel easier to replace something than repair it. Father Gene asks whether we’re bringing that same mindset into our relationships—and what happens when we choose forgiveness, say “I’m sorry,” and decide to stay.
Depression can make life feel empty, isolating, and without meaning. Father Gene talks honestly about facing those feelings without pretending they aren’t real—and how connection, meaningful action, and simply reaching out can help bring a little light into the darkness.
