Episode notes
Forming Leaders Fixes Formation Failures
- The Academy addresses a supply-demand gap by forming leaders who can till spiritual soil so catechesis actually takes root.
- Matt observed programs fail when volunteers lacked formation, so trained formators produce lasting discipleship rather than just delivering information.
Use Journaling To Convert Awareness Into Repentance
- Do use journaling to move from self-awareness into contrition and request for grace, not for navel-gazing.
- Matt and Erin built the Daily 7 to expose spiritual poverty so repentance and prayer invite transformative grace.
Marry Acquired Virtue With Infused Grace
- Integrate secular coaching's virtue training with Catholic infused virtues and grace to reach beatitude.
- Erin noted secular coaches teach acquired virtues well but omit infused virtue and supernatural grace needed for holiness.
