Growing Up
What does it mean to grow up? Some might say it's what you do when you get your first adult job or get married and start raising a family. Has it ever crossed your mind that growing up means thinking more of others and less of yourself?
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.
