Encourage A Young Man in Discerning How God is Calling Him

Constantly bombarded with questions from a society that demands young people figure out their futures quickly and work toward worldly success and achievement, young men today need encouragement, direction, and a sense of hope. As Jesus showed us, it’s the ways of the Father, not the ways of the world, that lead to joy and freedom.

If you know of a young man or serve them in ministry, here is an opportunity for you to encourage and provide some nurturance and support for finding purpose and meaning in their lives – all leading to an awareness and discernment of God’s calling.

God is calling.

Each young man’s life has a great purpose.

Do they know what that is? Let’s help them, together.

We encourage you to:

Hello friend,

What kind of man are you? Have you ever given that some thought? God is with you and calling you to live your life to the full. To accomplish that, each of us must come to a better understanding of ourselves and be committed to growth.

I want to share a tremendous resource with you that will be a true aid in helping you to reflect and determine the man you want to be, most especially the man God has created you to be with the uniqueness you bring to the world:

Scivias is an impactful way to deepen your life’s journey at this point, tackling very real questions young men like you have today.
Scivias is designed to help lead you to a keen awareness of God, who is speaking to you, to show you the way.

Learn more below, as Fr. Eric and Fr. Michael share more about this journey of discovery and invite you to sign up for the Scivias series. You have my strong encouragement to do the same.

May God bless the journey of discerning His call for your life – whether that’s to marriage and fatherhood, religious life, or priesthood. Please know that I am here to help in that process, too.
