In this first episode we introduce ourselves and our new podcast. Fr. Niall is Irish and Fr. Dave is a US American, and we met while studying theology in Canada. So we bring some cultural breadth to the discussion of the Church and the Church's mission. We are Jesuits so we also bring the St. Ignatius of Loyola angle to the table.

For Fr. Niall, simply saying "God loves me" can be an inadequate way of expressing our faith, because God keeps on asking us to do things that don't appeal to us. Dave says that discernment is meant to lead to decision and action. Get up and move!

Q. What is the Church's mission? A. Evangelization. And what is evangelization? EXCELLENT QUESTION!
