Have to Go Forward
Everyone has a story to tell – a story that can be described as a faith journey. Father Gene describes that little by little, we may realize that not all of life's answers can be found in the dusty pages of some book. Life is lived, and it's up to us to make decisions of varying importance that will steer the direction of our lives. What do you do with the scars, marks, and challenges that life impresses upon you? Do you throw in the towel and give up, or do brush yourself off and keep going? Father Gene has some useful advice to keep us all moving forward in this world.
We all want to be independent, but nobody is meant to do everything alone. Father Gene explores why asking for help can feel so difficult, the importance of trusted friends, and the unexpected gifts waiting when we reach out.
How much of yourself are you willing to give up just to fit in? Father Gene explores the tension between belonging and staying true to your values, and why protecting your integrity sometimes means risking your status, friendships, or approval.
