Justin Fatica

Do you know this man? He's the person with intricate headphones pacing back and forth on the worn, dew-covered turf every Friday night. He's your local high school football coach, and I would guess he has more passion for what he's doing than just about anyone else around. Certainly his players see this intensity in the way he prepares them for a game and the importance he places on results. Even the parents and community can tell how much he cares. Besides watching him on Friday nights, they also witness a person who cares enough to support the booster club and to spearhead fundraising.Now, take a step back.

Our calling is much deeper; our message is much more important. We are preaching and teaching the way to Heaven through our Lord Jesus Christ!

You are aware of the many ways teenagers are hurting. This webinar presents a step-by-step guide to set teens, and you who minister to them, on fire for Jesus Christ and lead them on the way to Heaven.

The Witness Webinar: Learning to Tell the Stories of Grace that Illumine Our Lives
Leonard J. DeLorenzoRecent research shows that the single greatest difference between those who identify as Catholic and those as former-Catholics is "the belief that God is a personal being involved in the lives of people today." If we are to shape our whole lives as a Christian story, we must first learn how to recognize, craft, and share stories of grace about particular life experiences. We will focus on seven principles for crafting stories of grace for teens, young adults, and even not-so-young-anymore adults that allow us to speak of God's action in our lives persuasively and in real terms.
