Greetings and welcome to The John 3:30 Podcast, we focus on Catholic Faith Life. The goal is to share different ways people keep their fire burning for our Catholic Faith. I have seen firsthand many people attend a Retreat or go through a traumatic Life Event and it brings them closer to their faith. For a moment. They are hungry for more. Unfortunately, not too long after, many return to their “old ways.” I firmly believe this happens because they do not know what they do not know. They may not be aware that they can attend Adoration, pray a Novena, or any other beautiful ways our Catholic Faith offers us the opportunity to grow in our Faith. My thought process is to sit down and speak with “everyday” people and have a conversation with them as to how they keep their fire burning for our Catholic Faith.  Like what you hear?

Episode # 33 is here!! In this episode, I speak with my Brother-in-Christ, Jesus Marrufo from El Paso, TX. Jesus is 61 years old and works as a Journeyman Lineman. He has been married for 36 years and has 3 Adult Children. So, what keeps Jesus’ fire burning for our Catholic Faith? He shares being around a Community of Amazing Men help keeps his fire burning. He shares that being around the Community helps his Spirituality grow. Jesus also attributes his Spiritual growth to his tremendous wife. He shares how he Blesses his wife everyday before he leaves for work. We also learn about his Morning Routine and how he devotes his first part of the Morning to God.

Grant that we may both be filled with faith and trust. Give us the grace to live with each other in peace and harmony. May we always bear with one another's weaknesses and grow from each other's strengths. Help us to forgive one another's failings and grant us patience, kindness, cheerfulness and the spirit of placing the well-being of one another ahead of self. May the love that brought us together grow and mature with each passing year. Bring us both ever closer to You through our love for each other. Let our love grow to perfection. Amen.
