Thursday, 31 July, 2025
In this episode I interview Jim and Dave from St Paul Street Evangelization(SPSE). Dave briefly explains SPSE and then recalls his conversion story. Next, Jim discusses his gradual journey as a lifelong Catholic. Jim and Dave both share stories of their work in SPSE. They give advice and encouragement to Catholics who feel called to start or join a team.Resourceshttps://streetevangelization.com/General Questions—-Tell us about your faith journey.—-Any people, life experiences, books that really influenced you on your faith journey?—-Tell us about yourself (family, education, careers, hobbies etc. If these two/three questions overlap/merge with your story that’s totally fine.

He wants to be in a relationship with you forever and he's got a plan for your life. The bad news is that due to sin we were separated from God and our human nature was weakened. That means our intellect was darkened. Our wills became weak and sin became attractive. The consequence of sin became eternal death in hell. But the good news is that God's, Jesus became man. Atoned for our sins by dying on the cross, and rose from the dead for our salvation. We receive the Holy Spirit and this gift of salvation when we put our faith in Jesus, repent of our sins, get baptized and become his disciples. Finally Jesus established the Catholic church to teach with his authority, to empower us with his grace, and to bring us back to life if we commit a deadly sin.
