What does it take to form faith in a world overflowing with content? In this episode, we explore the challenge of discerning what truly shapes our hearts and minds. A great teacher doesn’t just deliver information—they spark curiosity and awaken a desire to learn. Join us as St. Theresa’s new Pastoral Associate for Evangelization and Catechesis, Chase Crouse, shares his vision for inspiring faith, forming disciples, and helping people encounter the Church in a deeper way at the parish. Together they discuss the Church's vision for sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ and how we respond at St. Theresa. Whether you are a lifelong parishioner or someone spiritually curious, this episode offers a roadmap for intentionally growing closer to Christ and serving the community.

What does it really mean to pass on the faith — not just as a curriculum, but as a lived relationship? In this episode of St. Theresa Greater Things, Father Barry and J.D. McQueen sit down with Gian Gamboa, our newly appointed Director of Ongoing Formation and Discipleship, to share his journey from pre-med student to missionary, youth minister, and Catholic speaker — and what ultimately led him to St. Theresa.

The conversation tackles an honest challenge in modern faith formation: too often we expect young people to behave before they truly belong. Together, they explore why belonging comes first, how conversion happens through relationships and community, and what it means to form not only teens, but the adults who walk alongside them.
