Faithful Influencers
In this FatherSide Chat, Father Gene reflects on the powerful role of influencers—both cultural and spiritual—in shaping our lives. He challenges us to ask: Who are we truly listening to? and Which voices inspire us toward faith, truth, and compassion?
What does it really mean to say, “I’m in”? In this FatherSide Chat, Father Gene explores Ash Wednesday and Lent not as rituals of guilt, but as intentional renewal. A season to recommit, refocus, and choose something better for ourselves and those around us.
Some moments stay with us forever—the instant understanding clicks, or gratitude suddenly deepens. Father Gene reflects on recognizing “the good stuff”: learning, resilience, and the quiet sacrifices of those who came before us that made our own lives possible.
