Apologetics & Practical Evangelization ,

To the Peripheries!

In this course, Fr. Damian Ference will take us through numerous examples from the Gospels, his own life, and the philosophy of several saints on ways in which we evangelize. Each of these examples are modeled on the life of Christ.

There might be times in which we think of the task of evangelization and feel overwhelmed. Perhaps we aren't quite sure where to connect with people. Perhaps we're worried that we might say or do the wrong thing. Sometimes, we might even think that the culture is too far gone for us to find a place to start.

In the following lessons, listen in as Fr. Damian Ference covers how it is that Christ evangelizes and how many of the best moments in the Gospels apply both to our own spiritual lives, as well as our evangelical mission.
