SEMINAR TOPICS
Friday, September 13
1. Into His Likness-Be Transformed as a Disciple of Christ What does it look like to really follow Jesus? Not just be an enthusiastic Catholic who goes to Mass each week, throws money in the basket, and goes through the motions of faith. But what is happening on the inside? How do I know if I’m really growing in my relationship with God? Am I just a fan of Jesus or a true follower?
2. When You Pray: Trust, Surrender and the Restoration of Your Soul Inspired by the real example of the saints, we will learn how to pray with the same consistency, trust, peace, and passion that led to deep transformation in their souls. When You Pray: Surrender, and the Transformation of Your Soul will help you begin your journey of prayer, rejuvenate your prayer life, and strengthen your relationship with God so that you can give God your entire heart.
