Scripture-Based Evangelization: The School of Trust
Teachers aren't being catechized, and Scripture is the best way to catechize them. We evangelize before we catechize, and that depends on Scripture to carry the narrative.
This series takes the whole Bible, Genesis to Revelation, in 11 periods. Each period teaches one lesson in trust and tells the story on a clear timeline.

In development: The Eucharist, from the Tree of Life, the manna and the Ark to the Eucharistic Kingdom · The Papacy
Full episode list coming soon.
Spiritual Formation & the Interior Life Coming soon
Some youth ministry teams and teaching departments have leaders who know the faith well and have heard Scripture all their lives, yet have never learned how to go deeper than that.
This series draws on the saints, the mystics, the Catechism and the great spiritual classics to trace the soul's journey toward union with God. It aims to draw a soul out of lukewarmness and tepidity into a fervent love for God.
There is more to the faith than the story of Scripture, and more than its doctrines. Every teacher also has a personal story and a union with God that is unique and fulfilling.
In development: The Three Unavoidable D’s of Prayer: Distraction, with preparation, presence, custody of the eyes and stillness, drawn from St. Francis de Sales and St. Alphonsus Liguori.
