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.
In life’s deepest tragedies, words often fall short. Father Gene reflects on the quiet but powerful gift of simply being present—showing up, standing alongside others, and offering healing through presence when no explanation or comfort seems enough.
Father Gene reflects on how true religion begins at our everyday level—sharing meals, praying together, and asking simple yet profound questions like “Who’s hungry?” Discover how faith grows stronger when rooted in real conversations and community life.
