In a culture that measures worth by likes, looks, and output, this episode recentres the heart of Catholic education: every person is created by God to manifest His goodness and destined for eternal communion with Him. We unpack how schools and leaders can call young people out of comparison and into identity—reminding them that dignity isn’t earned by utility or performance, and that even in profound disability the glory of God is revealed.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• How to speak identity over students who feel flattened by social media and metrics
• Why Catholic schools exist: mission over maintenance, vocation over utility
• Practical ways to form missionary disciples in classrooms and staff culture
• Language and practices that honour the dignity of every student—whatever their ability

Mentioned themes: Imago Dei, human dignity, evangelisation/evangelization, pastoral care, youth ministry, eternal destiny.
