Something Beyond Us
If someone were to walk up to you and ask, "What does it mean to be spiritual?” How would you respond? Is it something that is beyond you? Father Gene explores the topic of spiritualism and the belief that we are not alone in the difficult times in our lives. In those trying times, what helps to lift us up is the sense that God is with us. What encourages you to get up after hardships? What motivates you to continue the journey?
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.
In this FatherSide Chat, Father Gene reflects on doubt, decision-making, and faith. He suggests that questioning isn’t weakness but part of living thoughtfully. Even disbelief requires faith, reminding us that honest reflection and uncertainty often guide our deepest convictions.
