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.
Faith is often passed on quietly, through habits, conversations, and the way we live each day. Father Gene reflects on how values are caught—not forced—and how kindness, consistency, and presence shape the hearts of children more than rules ever could.
In a world pulled between urgency and fear of change, Father Gene reflects on the tension we live with every day. This conversation invites us to slow down, listen well, and rediscover the quiet, courageous work of building bridges instead of choosing sides.
