]]> Episode 112: Intentional Accompaniment: How to Share Your Faith Boldy and Fruitfully with Michael Hall https://archomahaequip.fireside.fm/112 904b14a6-0ba9-4fe3-b519-e7383ece7e06 Tue, 14 Feb 2023 04:00:00 -0600 Archdiocese of Omaha 112 Intentional Accompaniment: How to Share Your Faith Boldy and Fruitfully with Michael Hall full Archdiocese of Omaha I hear so many people these days saying things like, “I feel the Lord calling me to share my faith with others.” But for so many of us, evangelization is new and daunting. So today, I invited Michael Hall, an expert in accompanying people through conversion, to share his insight. Michael authored the book, "Intentional Accompaniment", and he works for Catholic Christian Outreach, a ministry in Canada that is similar to FOCUS. He has taken their tools and techniques for evangelization and applied them to the everyday settings of parish and family life. And, he makes it easy! Michael provides some fantastic baby steps for sharing one’s faith more boldly and fruitfully. 52:55 no Ever felt the weight of wanting to share your faith but not knowing where to start? Trust me, I’ve been there. When I first dipped my toes into evangelizing, I stumbled through it, making more than my fair share of blunders. But you know what changed the game for me? Learning to lean on the Holy Spirit and building genuine connections that sparked meaningful conversations about faith. Now, let’s be real, most of us aren’t born experts at this stuff. That’s why I’m thrilled to bring you an episode featuring someone who truly gets it: Michael Hall. He’s the brains behind the book “Intentional Accompaniment” and serves as the Interim Director of Program Support for Catholic Christian Outreach in Canada (kind of like FOCUS in the US). Michael walks us through practical tools and techniques for evangelizing in our everyday lives, whether it’s within our parish community or our own families. And the best part? He breaks it down in a way that feels totally doable. Join us to: * Discover how nurturing your relationship with God can naturally lead to authentic faith-sharing. * Learn why taking small, intentional steps is the secret sauce to success. * Find out how having a mentor to guide you along the way can make all the difference. If you’ve ever felt hesitant about evangelizing or wondered where to even begin, this episode is tailor-made for you!
