Hearing With The Heart: Conversations Over Coffee
Join us as we explore topics that invite us to live deeper our Catholic, Christian faith.
Hosts Janet Jones (Director of Faith Formation) and Bridgett Passauer (Coordinator of Adult Faith Formation, Evangelization, and Community Life), from Church of the Ascension in Virginia Beach, have incredible conversations over coffee. We invite you to grab a mug of your favorite brew and share in their stories, laughs, and connection with Jesus and each other.
Hearing With The Heart: Conversations Over Coffee
Sin - Part 1: Awareness, Understanding, and Action
Janet and Bridgett begin the exploration of how sin came into our world. They outline some of the Church's understanding of sin, make the point that the devil is real, and the increase in relativism isn't helping.
Baby step for this week: Pray to the Lord for insight into anything thing that may be separating you from Him.
