Can I Believe Without a Church?
What feeds your relationship with God? Why do we belong to a church and a community? In the episode, Father Gene shares that belonging to a community increases our vision and strengthens our relationship with God. The church allows us to see things differently, and it allows us to be in tune with creation and with challenges that are present in our world.
We all want to be independent, but nobody is meant to do everything alone. Father Gene explores why asking for help can feel so difficult, the importance of trusted friends, and the unexpected gifts waiting when we reach out.
How much of yourself are you willing to give up just to fit in? Father Gene explores the tension between belonging and staying true to your values, and why protecting your integrity sometimes means risking your status, friendships, or approval.
