You Are Sent!, you are helping FMC take the Gospel to the nations!    Have you ever wondered what life is really like on the mission field?    We invited three Catholic content creators – Katie “MrsRuvi” Ruvalcaba, Evan Raugust, and Franco Fernandez – on a weeklong mission trip to our post in General Cepeda, Mexico, which is about two hours west of Monterrey in the central Mexican mountains.    In this episode, we sat down with all three of them – along with Dr. Michael Ferri, a Catholic dad of nine from Nashville and frequent mission tripper – to hear about the week, what experiences moved them, and what they are taking back to their daily lives from their week with FMC.   Sign up for a mission trip of your own HERE.   Curious about becoming a lay foreign missionary?

Can you summarize your Christian faith in a succinct way? Can you articulate to someone else why they should follow Jesus? Did St. Francis really say, “preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary use words?” (Hint: NO.) In this episode, we take a look at the importance of proclaiming the Gospel with lifelong missionary Joseph Anthony. We unpack the Kerygma, and how powerful the simple call of Jesus is.   If you like what you’ve heard, you can financially support Go!

A while back, we posted a talk by our co-founder Frank Summers. In response, we have gotten requests asking to hear more from him. Unfortunately, Mr. Frank passed away a few years ago, so we are not able to have him as a guest on the podcast. We are fortunate to have many recordings of his powerful preaching and teaching. Today, we will revisit an address he gave in 2014 about Evangelical Catholicism. We hope you enjoy!   Books Mentioned: DEI VERBUM   EVANGELII GAUDIUM    REDEMPTORIS MISSIO   If you like what you’ve heard, click HERE to support Go!
