Before we can ask, “What is God calling me to do?” we must first hear Him say, “You are loved.” Every vocation begins with discovering our identity as beloved sons and daughters of God.

In the latest episode of the SJSPodcast, Fr. Stanislaus Achu sits down with Bishop Bruce Lewandowski, C.Ss.R., Bishop of Diocese of Providence, to explore the heart of Catholic preaching and its mission to lead people into a deeper friendship with Christ.

Whether someone is encountering the Lord for the first time, returning after time away, or continuing to grow in faith, the preached Word has the power to meet them where they are.

At the same time, this conversation reflects on what authentic preaching looks like in a rapidly changing world. While new tools and technologies can assist, Bishop Lewandowski emphasizes the irreplaceable role of human creativity, charism, and the work of the Holy Spirit.
