Patrick Conleyby Patrick Conley

Father Bobby Blood joins Patrick to discuss Bringing Your Family to Jesus

  • (4:56) how do you talk with people who think they failed in raising their children in the Faith?
  • Nick – if you can find common ground you can lead them to the church and what makes a big difference is just listening and not comparing. and sometimes timing is everything.
  • What some questions that don’t explicitly talk about faith which you can use to draw the conversation about faith?

(20:27) Break 1

  • (27:33) Helen – Our parish had a program that asked the deep questions like do I believe in Jesus and who is he?  It really helped me out
  • Steve – no time table – I feel like it’s wrong to sit back and relax we can’t delay reaching out to people.
  • Trudy – My daughter was raised catholic but stopped after she moved out and says she doesn’t want to go to hell now but is leaning more towards being a Muslim.

(40:42) Break 2

  • Lilly – The way I share my faith is that I go online and buy used books from Patrick Madrid and I give it away as a gift and write down their radio station on the book
  • (45:57) Marie – My granddaughter has abandoned the faith and I don’t know how to get to her.
