Are you struggling to share the Catholic faith in a world that seems to reject Christianity? In this episode of the Into the Truth podcast, Mgr James Shea, renowned author of "From Christendom to Apostolic Mission" and "The Religion of the Day", delves into the challenges of evangelising in a secular society that believes it no longer needs redemption.

Mgr Shea emphasises that today's society is plagued by misery, poisoned by modern culture, and in dire need of the Gospel's healing power. He argues that Christians must become saints, stepping beyond the safety of their church communities to passionately and effectively preach the Gospel.
