Eternal Life
Jesus asked, “Do you believe in me? Do you believe in what I say?” Tragedies and upsetting occurrences are part of what makes us human. But what do we do when things go wrong? When things don’t go our way, and when things are challenging, how do we believe? How do we continue to have faith? Placing our trust in God reminds us that there is a tomorrow. The difficult times are not the end. The end is what Jesus promised everyone — life everlasting.
In this FatherSide Chat, Father Gene reflects on growing up, finding your identity, and learning how to share your unique “song” with the world—balancing individuality and belonging while navigating rejection, growth, and the challenge of staying true to yourself.
What does a truly successful life look like? Father Gene challenges the usual definitions of status and achievement, offering a deeper, more human measure rooted in relationships, presence, and impact—being someone others genuinely want to invite back into their lives.
