Accompanying Teens and Young Adults Through Discerning Life Choices
Stacey SumereauVocation, dating, college, jobs... making decisions in your teens and twenties carries a lot of pressure, particularly as our options in the modern world continue to expand with remote work and online dating. After sharing her vocational discernment on worldwide reality TV in The Sisterhood: Becoming Nuns in 2014, Stacey Sumereau, author and host of the Called and Caffeinated podcast, found herself in the unique position of receiving hundreds of messages from confused teens and young adults around the world surrounding their challenges in making decisions. In the last decade, her study and ministry has centered around the art of discernment. This session will cover:
· Trust issues with God: Practical strategies to help others adopt a relationship-first approach in decision-making
· Identifying God's voice vs. the devil in our thoughts
· What to do with emotions: How do they aid us, and what do we do when they cloud reason?
· Five action steps from St. Ignatius of Loyola that cut through the mental drama and move to action
· Know thyself: Accompanying people with different temperaments in discernment

Encountering Christ in the Poor
Colin MIllerWhen we think about the poor, we often focus on “helping” and “serving”—seeing ourselves as the ones who give. But what if we’ve missed the deeper invitation of the Gospel?
In this thought-provoking webinar, Colin Miller, author of We Are Only Saved Together, invites us to revisit the familiar parable of the Good Samaritan with fresh eyes. Rather than reinforcing a one-way relationship of charity, this webinar challenges us to consider what scripture truly reveals about mutual encounter, vulnerability, and the presence of Christ in the poor.
Join us to explore how this reimagined understanding can reshape not only our personal lives, but also how our parishes live out their mission. This is more than a call to service—it’s a call to communion.

Want to Start a Revolution of Tenderness? Try Contemplating Mary
Timothy P. O'MalleyThere are a lot of books on Mary, many which present the Mother of God as a figure worthy of imitation. But it's easy to forget that Mary is the protagonist of a revolution of tenderness. In this webinar presented by theologian and author Timothy P. O'Malley, we'll think about Mary's role in renewing Church life today: as the Mother of God, she manifests us to a tender, fierce love that should make every politician shake in their boots (tenderly, of course).
