]]> Coach's Corner 4: St. Thomas & The Power of Belonging https://archomahaequip.fireside.fm/cc4 6c89dddc-0ac4-4a20-a389-76163163e338 Tue, 28 Mar 2023 04:00:00 -0500 Archdiocese of Omaha full Archdiocese of Omaha Why wasn’t St. Thomas with the other apostles when Jesus appeared? I used to imagine that he was doing some mundane task like buying groceries. But, if we read the passage carefully, it’s likely he was absent because he didn’t want to be with the other apostles. Jesus could have appeared at any time; if Thomas was only “gone to the store”, he could have waited. Additionally, Thomas’s response to the news of the resurrection is stubborn (and maybe a tad obnoxious) disbelief. In today’s Coach’s Corner, I ask the question: How do we help those in the same place as St. Thomas, the stubbornly disbelieving? Tune in to hear how helping a person belong can also help them to believe. The goal is to make non-believers feel accepted and engaged in the community, creating a path toward embracing faith and living a life of discipleship. 11:30 no Why wasn’t St. Thomas with the other apostles when Jesus appeared?
