CTK Faith Formation

20/30s | Social Justice

How do we approach "social justice" as Catholics? Kathleen Loesel, a member of our young adult community (and our former coordinator!), will present on social justice from a Catholic perspective, including the seven themes of Catholic Social Teaching; a focus on our call as priest, prophet, king; and practical actions we can take. 

20/30s | Bridging the Mind-Heart Gap

How often do we face the battle of our hearts saying one thing but our heads saying another? We need both emotion and logic in life and in our relationship with God. Ellie Dodd explains mindset shifts and practical steps to bridge that gap in order to love God better and to do His will as laypeople.

20/30s | The World Jesus Lived In

Just like the world around us shapes who we are, so too did the 1st century world inform how Jesus lived. Dr. Keith Pacholl helps us understand who Jesus was by explaining how the 1st century world influenced how he lived: the government, the customs, cultural differences, and more. Presented at the 20/30Somethings Annual Retreat, August 3, 2024.

20/30s | I Wanna Know What Love Is

Inspired by Foreigner's classic love song, Fr. Jared Kleinwaechter wades through all of the different ideas and explanations of love to define what love actually is. He explains four different kinds of love that come from God. Presented at the 20/30Somethings Annual Retreat, August 3, 2024.

20/30s | Eucharistic Miracles

The Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith. With such power, it makes sense that there are miracles attributed to it. Cynthia Alvarado talks about some of the marvels connected to the Blessed Sacrament. She is completing her classes from Franciscan University on the Theology of the Eucharist. Presented to the 20/30Somethings at their Discipleship Night, June 13, 2024.  

20/30s | Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the Catholic Faith

We’ve all heard of UFOs and the question "do aliens or other extraterrestrial life forms exist?" How should we as Catholics view these questions? What if they are, in fact, out there and one day we encounter them? Dr. Paul Thigpen, Ph.D., author of “Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the Catholic Faith: Are We Alone in the Universe with God and the Angels” comes to discuss these pressing questions. Dr. Thigpen is an acclaimed international speaker, award-winning journalist, and best-selling author with a doctorate in Historical Theology. He was appointed to the National Advisory Council by the USCCB, and has been on talk shows like Pints with Aquinas. Presented to the 20/30Somethings at their Discipleship Night, May 14, 2024.

20/30s | Discerning Consecrated Life

Many (understandably) assume "consecrated life" means becoming a nun, but there are many other ways to consecrate your life to God outside of the convent,  for both men and women. Sarah Rocko, Coordinator for Women’s Discernment at the Archdiocese of Atlanta, speaks on discerning consecrated life and the numerous options available. Presented to the 20/30Somethings Ministry at their Discipleship Night, March 12, 2024.

20/30s | The Forgotten Sacrament of Marriage

Many young adults are looking to get married. But even those who are engaged often don't fully understand it as one of the seven sacraments. For some, it's just a checkbox on to-do list of life. Fr. Juan Pablo Durán LC discusses 'The Forgotten Sacrament of Marriage: an explanation for young adults looking for love' on what exactly the sacrament is. Presented to the 20/30Somethings ministry at their Discipleship Night, February 13, 2024.

20/30s | Missionary Living

In our often chaotic lives there can seem to be little time for anything else. While many are not called to missionary life, we still admire what they do and there is much we can learn from those who are. Ellie Dodd, a missionary with Damascus Missions, speaks on how to incorporate that missionary life into our own busy day-to-day life. Presented to the 20/30Somethings at their Discipleship night, January 9, 2024.
