Why OCIA Isn’t Working (and How to Fix It)

About this episode

The episode discusses the shortcomings of OCIA in fostering real evangelization and offers practical solutions for parish engagement.

OCIA is meant to guide people into a living relationship with Jesus Christ, but too often it skips the most important step: real evangelization. Gomer and Dave break down the stages of OCIA, expose the biggest gaps, and explain why many people fall away after entering the Church. They share practical ways to rethink parish evangelization, how to know if someone is truly ready for the sacraments, and why a personal encounter with Christ must come first.
