Episode notes
Formed Through The Sacraments
- Catholic missionary discipleship is shaped primarily by the sacraments, especially the Eucharist.
- Dave emphasizes planning to introduce people to sacramental life as the goal, calling the Eucharist the most intimate encounter short of heaven.
Actively Go; Don’t Wait For People
- Get out of comfort and embrace being sent; the Church exists to evangelize and must be proactive.
- Dave urges an offensive posture: don't wait for people to come, advance the kingdom by intentional outreach.
Show Your Witness Then Teach Clearly
- Combine witness with clear teaching: show how your life changed and then explain the doctrine.
- Dave models this by structuring talks as stories that teach lessons, rejecting the 'no words' misquote of Francis of Assisi.
