One of the most profound aspects of the Catholic Faith is that Christ sent his Spirit to dwell in the hearts of the baptized. But who is the Holy Spirit, and how do we actively invite him to do what he was placed inside of us to do?

Our modern world has lost its story. We don't know from where we came. We don't know why we're here. And we don't know where we're going. In this study we'll see that God wants to draw us into his greater story—one that rescues us from death and leads to an eternal relationship with him.

In this session, we'll explore how the reality that the Church is not a "what" but rather a "who" impacts our lives as followers of Jesus. The challenge isn't simply to attend Church, but to be Church. Presented by Sister Miriam Heidland.

It's been said that Christmas is merely a pagan day that was Christianized by the early Church—and now the pagans want it back. Yet the holiday we call Christmas (and the season of Advent that precedes it) is marked by wonder, holiness, and beauty, which go beyond mere sentimentality. Preparing "...

This study candidly explores why Jesus established a Church, why it is relevant today, and why the Church is essential to the life and spirit of every Christian. Presented by Chris Padgett.

Some people say, "I'm spiritual, but not religious" or "I like Jesus, but don't need a church." In this study, we'll see how one can't fully love the King while rejecting his Kingdom. Yet loving the Church can be a challenge when it is filled with people just like us.

In an age when life itself seems disposable, how can we follow God's call to protect and promote the dignity of the human person in all places and circumstances?

Religion is often perceived as humanity's search for God, but Christianity is more about God's search for us. God "unveils" himself to us and reveals his plan for our lives through "Divine Revelation." But what is this revelation, and how does it impact our lives?

The Church has a beautiful vision of human sexuality that is often buried in the confusion of our culture. In this second session, we'll look at sex in the context of the love Jesus models for us. Here we will see how marriage was designed by God as a reflection and witness to his love. Presented...

The general acceptance of homosexuality within the public square, the legal system, and many Christian denominations has obscured the truth about the purpose and meaning of sex as God intended. This session looks at same-sex attraction in the light of the Church's teachings about love, respect, a...

The myth of "safe sex" is a scandal, leading many young people into physical, emotional, and spiritual trouble. In this study, we'll explore the Church's teaching on "safe sex," chastity, purity, contraception, and God's deepest desire for true union within marriage. Presented by Chris Stefanick.

The basis of the Church's social teaching is an expression of God's love for humanity. But how can Catholics apply that teaching to their everyday encounters and challenges?

The consecrated life is God's remarkable gift to the Church. To be called to the "perfection of charity" means a life of obedience, celibacy, and poverty in his service. What steps can we take to discern if we are summoned to that vocation?

To understand the Church today, we need to look at the life of the early Church and how "they devoted themselves … to the breaking of the bread" (Acts 2:42). In this session, we'll see how the "breaking of the bread" is actually the Eucharist and why the Church calls the Body and Blood "th...

What exactly is the Church? Is it just a building where people attend Mass on Sundays? Is it an assembly of like-minded people, like a group of hobbyists or a club? In this session, we'll see the Church the way Jesus created it: as a family bound together in the love of God. But what are the char...

How does following the moral vision as taught by the Church lead us to whole and happy lives, especially when the world around us seems to be in moral turmoil?

This study takes us through some of the misconceptions and myths about the Church and reminds us of the many ways the Church has impacted lives throughout history by establishing schools and hospitals, advancing science and medicine, and assisting the poor all over the world. Presented by Fr. Leo...

Every baptized Christian is supposed to make the priesthood of Jesus real in this world. However, God calls some men to serve the Church within Holy Orders, acting in the person of Jesus to give the grace of the Sacraments to all. How can young men know if they're called to this special role?
