Dear Friends in Christ Jesus,
For nearly nine years we've been about an impactful, attainable, fun, faith-filled answer to the big question following any great event: "Now what?" We're about helping people "live it" where it matters most: in their homes. The vast majority of those engaged are seeing their children navigate into a lived, owned Catholic faith.
Contained in this weekly Kingdom Update is just a sample of our outreach. We're reaching thousands. Last week Spotify recognized us as among the "top podcasts globally in 2022." We humbly appeal for your partnership right now. We're running very low. Most of what we do is free. No amount is too little. Thank you for your consideration.
Praying you are having a most blessed Christmas into the New Year! |

GOSPEL | Luke 2:16-21
The shepherds went in haste to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph,
and the infant lying in the manger.
When they saw this,
they made known the message
that had been told them about this child.
All who heard it were amazed
by what had been told them by the shepherds.
And Mary kept all these things,
reflecting on them in her heart.
Then the shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God
for all they had heard and seen,
just as it had been told to them.
When eight days were completed for his circumcision,
he was named Jesus, the name given him by the angel
before he was conceived in the womb.

And many may say the surest indication that I'm a couple bulbs short of a Clark Griswold Christmas display.
BACKDROP: After completing a half marathon a month ago, a year after battling COVID (story), I'm training for another. The plan, clearly not factoring in this unanticipated raid by Mr. Blizzard, specified me running a 10K (6.2 miles) today. Dark. -17°. Icy pavement covered with snow. Gusts of wind exceeding 30mph. My amazing, loving wife reading weather reports over the past 24 hours, gives a final, impassioned plea: "GREG! 'STRONG WARNING!' ... 'DANGER BEING OUTDOORS!'" (Translation: "Don't be a moron!")
"And make a good act of contrition," she concludes.
