Are you struggling to find God in the everyday moments of your life? Do you feel overwhelmed by the challenges of your vocation, whether it’s parenthood, religious life, or something else?
Join Julia and Gino on The Julia and Gino Show as they sit down with Father Innocent, a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal, for a powerful conversation about faith, family, and the true meaning of religious life. Father Innocent shares his own experiences and insights, offering wisdom and encouragement for navigating the ups and downs of life while staying rooted in God’s love.
Key Takeaways:
- Trust in God’s Plan: Even when things are uncertain, we must trust that God has a plan for our lives. This trust isn’t passive; we must actively participate in His plan daily.
- The Reality of Religious Life: Religious life, like any vocation, has its challenges. It’s not always glamorous, and it requires dedication to the small, everyday acts of faith.
- Finding Holiness in the Present Moment: Holiness isn’t found in grand gestures but in the small, ordinary moments of life. Whether it’s folding laundry or driving to work, God is present and working.
- Balancing Discipline and Flexibility: Discipline and structure are important, but so is the ability to adapt and be open to God’s will in the present moment.
- The Importance of Identity: Understanding our identity as sons and daughters of God is crucial.
- This foundation shapes how we live out our vocations as spouses, parents, and religious.
- Fighting the Lies: We must combat the lies that tell us we’re not good enough or that we need to perform to earn God’s love. His love is freely given.
Father Innocent also discusses his books, “Born of Fire” and “Sons in the Sun,” which explore the importance of understanding our identity in Christ.
