Father Joseph Johnson joins Patrick to discuss Journeys of Faith
Father shares his faith journey.
(11:18) When God feels distant in our sufferings.
(17:31) Nancy - Being a befriender. I go to our local hospital and see the Catholic patients each week. Takes me all day. I get more from it I think than they from it. God calling me to my gift of time.

(21:14) Break 1
(23:28) Karen - I have lived a long life doing a lot for the church. Find it difficult to speak about God to those who are not believers. How do I get past that because I've been praying a long time.
Why does there need to be a journey?

(36:36) Break 2
(42:11) Lolly- My husband and I dealing with fertility. Not angry at God, but just don't know how to 'lean' into him right now.

(19:48) Elizabeth - Instead of going to college, is there a kind of service that our kids can learn humility from?

(24:01) Break 1
Rudy - Comment: When i worked at Disney I used to do the potlucks for the employees. I opened it up to all departments. It was based on the idea that 'what you do for the least...'
(35:01) Adrian - I participated in a group trip to western north Carolina after Helene. And I helped an elderly woman with her shower and bath tub. She said, 'not until the day I day would I ask for this.' I told her 'it's OK'. She said I will never understand. I am Lutheran.

(39:26) Break 2
Mary - I have found that when I'm at Wal Mart, I make it a point to see people who look dejected. I make it a point to connect with them.
What do we do when our service is not recognized?
(47:29) Tim - We've been working on a project at our parish, and we learned that everything had already been decided. The priest said he would pray for our internal conversion. How do I deal with anger in the context of service?
