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.

20/30s | Everyday Holiness

We all strive to be more holy in our daily lives. Often, we are told to do that without any practical steps or advice, and that’s not helpful!
