ChristLife: We Have Been Sent

Podcaster's Description: Ever wonder how to witness by "word" to your friends, family, and co-workers about Jesus Christ?

Ever wonder what your role in the lay apostolate is?

We Catholics talk a lot about evangelization, but when the rubber hits the road, often times, we think the "witness of life" is enough. The Catholic Catechism states "this witness of life, however, is not the sole element in the apostolate; the true apostle is on the lookout for occasions of announcing Christ by word, either to unbelievers ... or to the faithful." (905)

Listen to ChristLife's podcast to be equipped and encouraged to take part in the new evangelization - especially for young adults (18-30 something).
