About this listen

In this episode of That They May Be One, hosts Dr. David Cole and Adriana Gonzalez welcome Nathan Smith, Director of Ecumenism for Glenmary Home Missioners. Nathan shares his passion for fostering reconciliation between the Catholic Church, Evangelicals, and Pentecostals. Together, they explore the concept of Receptive Ecumenism—a transformative approach to unity that invites believers to listen with humility, learn from one another, and grow in faith.

Nathan’s insights challenge us to rethink Christian unity—not as uniformity, but as a Spirit-led journey of transformation. What does it mean to truly receive from other traditions? How can we cultivate a posture of listening that leads to deeper communion?

Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that invites us to embrace our differences as gifts and pursue unity for the sake of the Gospel.
