John Riccardo and Mary Guilfoyle was created to accompany and further equip leaders in forever changing the way we make decisions. In this series, we explore together how to remove obstacles to true discernment and establish the essential ways for praying together, all in order to restore the initiative to God—whether in diocesan offices, parish teams, apostolates, or family life.

WHO IS ACTS XXIX?

Descubre aun más en https://Rescate.us

Creemos apasionadamente que la tarea más urgente es la proclamación convincente del evangelio, una que no solo lo comparta de una manera atractiva y concentrada, sino que también ofrezca a las personas una forma de ver la realidad y de dar sentido al mundo, la historia y la vida que es muy diferente de la historia que cuenta nuestra cultura moderna.

Hasta que esto suceda, la fe cristiana a menudo se experimenta como un mero conjunto de reglas y disciplinas, y simplemente ir a la Iglesia no es probable que lleve a una persona a embarcarse en la gran aventura que está siguiendo a Jesús y continuando Su misión de rescatar a este mundo.
