About this episode
Fr Columba discusses the importance of focusing on the mission of bringing people to Jesus rather than fixating on the Church's problems.
You may have heard, Fr Columba recently broke his leg and is taking some time to rest and recover. While he's off his feet, we're re-showing an old favourite episode, still feels as relevant as ever. Please keep him in your prayers, especially for patience and a steady recovery.Do you spend more time worrying about what's wrong with the Church than actually bringing people to Jesus? In this episode, Fr Columba opens Acts 1, where the disciples press Jesus for information about the kingdom and Jesus redirects them to the mission he's actually given them. He asks a simple, uncomfortable question: is the fruit of your faith showing up in the lives of others, or have the weeds of distraction quietly choked it? A short, honest invitation to check where your energy is really going.
