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 # 41 is here!! In this episode, I speak with my Brother-in-Christ, Charlie Casiano. Charlie is 58 years old, grew up as an Army Brat and now works as The Finance Director for the City of Socorro, TX. What keeps Charlie's fire burning for our Catholic Faith? He talks about his love for Praising God through Music as a part of the Choir at his Parish and as a Member of Zion Music Ministry. Charlie opens up about the Word of God and how it keeps his fire burning. He shares a couple resources that he uses to do so. We discuss Re-Catechizing of Catholics, Charlies offers a great start on how to do this. Towards the end of the episode we talk about the current culture of hate and loving the unlovable.
