Belonging In The Now
In this FatherSide Chat, Father Gene explores why many people believe in God yet feel distant from church. He reflects on individuality, belonging, and how faith communities can adapt by paying attention to the present moment and creating spaces where everyone feels included.
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.
We live in a time when conversations can quickly become arguments, and listening can become difficult. Father Gene explores what it means to genuinely hear another perspective, remain open without abandoning your principles, and discover something valuable on the other side.
