From the hills of Tanzania to the plains of Amarillo, Father Avitus Siriwa has followed God's call across borders, languages, and climates (he still hasn’t forgiven Pennsylvania for the snow). Now, 25 years after saying “yes” to the priesthood, he's sharing stories that are as moving as they are mileage-heavy. Join us for lucky Episode 013 as Fr. Avitus reflects on 25 years of priesthood, missionary life, snow-shock in the Bronx, and saying "yes" to God in six countries and two hemispheres.

CAPN: "The WTC: The Podcast" - Divinely Expelled, Righteously Promoted
The West Texas Catholic: The Podcast
Retirement? Nah. God had other plans. Meet Kim Lackey and Craig Logan — two principals who thought they were done with school...until God called them to trade retirement plans for lesson plans. Kim Lackey swapped whistle-blowing for soul-growing and is "all-in" (and not just in poker), while Craig Logan went from high school dropout to walking the stage decades later — diploma in one hand, rosary in the other. Their stories are proof that God’s timing is wild, His plans are better, and retirement is...negotiable. Pack a lunch — because sometimes, the bell...
