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?
Loneliness touches everyone at times, but it doesn’t have to have the final word. Father Gene reflects on how purposeful gathering—small, intentional moments of connection—can grow into real community, offering space to listen, share, laugh, and walk through life together.
Some lessons arrive softly, reminding us that caring for others begins with caring for ourselves. Father Gene shares why creating sacred space for “me” isn’t selfish—it’s essential—and how learning to say “I can’t” can become an act of love.
