The Jesus Challenge to Young Adults: Epistles of Paul

What does our Lord teach about discipleship through St. Paul - and how do we live it in today's world?

Living in our secular postmodern world is daunting. Catholicism seems under attack constantly, and authentic discipleship an insurmountable task. Is it even possible? How do we embrace Jesus’ words to his first disciples to know the Lord and be formed as his disciple now?

Let’s find out. If you want the bold and joyful life Jesus offers, if your heart yearns to better know and understand Jesus and his word, this series is for you.

This session will cover St. Paul and his model for living as a disciple among the pagans in his First and Second Letters to the Corinthians and his Letter to the Romans.

The only one who can show us Truth, is Truth
