"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." -Ephesians 4:29We take some time to reflect in our own St. George Shrine about the graces, the stumbling blocks, and the lessons involved within the topic of communication. More than a byproduct of humanity, words have a divine origin and a potential to build someone up or completely cut them down. It's eternally important to reflect on how we communicate and more importantly how we are open to communication from a God who is constantly reaching out to us, hoping dearly for a response.

We get the chance to sit down with Mrs. Kerwin, the middle school theology teacher at St. Fabian in Farmington Hills to discuss her expertise: breaking through the walls of middle schoolers. We explore topics of the deep desire for authenticity as well as how to truly think like a middle schooler in order to see where they're coming from. We were so blessed by all of the insight that Kim has to offer with encouraging vulnerability and edified by all that she is doing for the Church.

"Do you not know that the runners in the stadium all run in the race, but only one wins the prize? Run so as to win." -1 Corinthians 9:24

This week we're joined by two great coaches, Jeremy and Jacob Hickey, who break open the beauty of sport and show how their coaching is a direct vehicle to Christ, to help others run so as to win. They highlight the importance of healthy competition and stories of moments when the circumstances of victory mattered much more than the victory itself. Tune in to hear the connection between athletics and being a disciple of Christ.
