1.) Watch the videos

The videos are an important visual aid, and will help you appreciate the joy, beauty, and wonder of pursuing God’s will in a way that my words cannot convey by themselves. They’re only 5 minutes each, so there’s no reason not to watch them.

2.) Use The Guide

You can binge watch the videos if you want, but they’re not meant just to be consumed, but rather pondered. This guidebook contains a summary of each episode to remind you of what was discussed, scripture passages for your prayer. In case you want to go deeper in a given area, there are additional resources provided for each episode.

3.) Pray

I encourage you to spend 30-60 minutes in the episodes and in this guidebook, ideally in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. A relationship can’t be rushed. BE REAL with God. Don’t just say the pious answer you think God wants to hear. Be real. Tell God the truth, reveal your heart to him. Tell God what’s going

4.) Outside Help

Don’t get stuck inside your own head. Talk to your local priest, a trusted spiritual mentor, or Vocations Director. Discuss what comes up from this series with them, it’ll help you clarify your thoughts and feelings and God’s voice. Conversation will help make it all the more real for you so that you don’t think you’re going crazy and to help keep you accountable to God’s voice.
