Join us for a special episode of the SEEK Podcast, recorded live from SEEK in Salt Lake City, where we dive into the joyous and relational heart of Catholic discipleship. Our guests, FOCUS missionaries Emily and Zach, along with Madeline, Julia, and Izzy from Ohio University’s knowHis.love podcast, share vibrant tales from their experiences at Central Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Ohio. They unfold the transformative power of genuine relationships through the “win-build-send” approach to evangelization.

In this conversation, they share personal stories of conversion and community building. From Emily’s inspirational aunt who introduced her to adoration, to Zach’s realization of living a joyful life free from guilt, and the Ohio students’ revival of a once-dormant Newman Center through authenticity and creative outreach—each story highlights the impactful simplicity of their mission.

Discover the unconventional yet effective methods they use to connect with others, like hosting jean-themed parties, celebrating with unique baby doll birthday cakes, and even organizing a “Milk Fest” on campus. These narratives not only showcase the fun and relatability of their evangelization efforts but also demonstrate how true friendship and joyful witness can break down barriers and foster deep, meaningful connections.

Tune in to learn how embracing authenticity, joy, and community can revolutionize your approach to faith-sharing and transform hearts. Join us in celebrating the ways these missionaries live out their call to discipleship, proving that faith, fun, and friendship are at the core of winning hearts for Christ.
