The Bear Woznick Adventure

An unfortunate reality is the terrible effect alcoholism can have in a family. John Sablan faced that in his own family as a teen. John shares with us the feeling of being consumed by the water of the world, being drowned, and the riptides pulling him away. The story doesn’t end there. If you are facing the same darkness as a result of the effects at the hands of someone fighting alcoholism there is hope. This week we are throwing you a boogie board to latch onto. Join John and I as we discuss how you can use these situations and pain in your life to excel.

Hau?oli Makahiki Hou - Happy New Year! When you are surfing you have to paddle out and then you wait. There is something extraordinary about that waiting.

I think we all go through these periods in our lives when we don’t feel very spiritual. Do you experience those times at the end of the day when you are like. “I hope God thinks I’m ok. I’m working hard to do more good than bad.” Have you gotten to the point where you aim to at least make it into purgatory? We are living in a privileged moment of the Holy Spirit when graces and gifts are being poured out upon the lives of ordinary people just like you! Peter Herbeck, Vice President of Renewal Ministries and the host of the Ave Maria Radio show “Fire on the Earth”, and I are going to challenge you to shake your lowered expectations this week and help you come to realize how much the Lord loves YOU!

Following Christ can be tough. I know as well as you do that it's not easy. So what does it take to be a disciple? It takes a conscious choice to be like Jesus every day.

Being a disciple is THAT simple!

We have a front row seat to the future of our Church and the future looks bright! Tizoc Rosales is the Director of Advancement for the Saint Paul Seminary and the Saint John Vianney College Seminary in Minnesota. As he tells us he’s not in the business of forming priests, he is in the business of forming MEN. Young men, Tizoc and I have a message for you. You’ve lived through some things and seen some things that have caused you to pause. You’ve seen the institutions we thought were stable fall away. 9-11 and other recent events have forever changed us. It’s time for your generation to turn to God. We are all sinful and we all need healing. The time is now. You are our future.
