Ascension

Lay Catholic evangelists Michael Gormley and Dave VanVickle bring you a podcast series that teaches you how to confidently share your Catholic faith with your family members, friends, co-workers, and the strangers you meet on airplanes. Every episode, Mike and Dave give you five steps you can take each week to become an instrument God uses to spread the Gospel, heal hearts, and renew his Church. Be inspired by stories of miraculous conversions and be reminded that God still powerfully intervenes to transform people's lives.

Every Knee Shall Bow (Your Catholic Evangelization Podcast)

In this final episode of the season, Dave offers a clear and compelling roadmap for living as a missionary disciple in everyday life. Drawing from the wisdom of evangelization movements and his own pastoral experience, he unpacks ten essential principles—from a personal encounter with Jesus Christ to bold proclamation, sacramental living, and reliance on the Holy Spirit.

Bringing the Gospel to Inner City Kids

It’s easy to see sports as a distraction from faith, but what if they’re actually a powerful path to it?

Dave sits down with Julianna Calzonetti and Alex Ruston, Catholic sports outreach coordinators and missionaries serving athletes. Together, they share how the world of sports can become a mission field and how each of us can evangelize by bringing our passions and our faith together.

The Reality of Living out Your Vocation

What is your true mission here on earth? In this solo episode, Dave dives into what it actually looks like to advance the Kingdom of Heaven in our modern, busy world and also shares his top tips for shifting from a routine faith to a missionary heart.

Being a missionary disciple isn't about checking off a religious "to-do list." It’s about a daily, radical rediscovery of Jesus Christ. Dave reminds us that because Heaven is our true home, we should feel a certain "holy discomfort" in this life—a restlessness that drives us to put our daily routines at the foot of the Cross and lean entirely on Him.

Have You Made This Radical Discovery?

Evangelization requires vulnerability. Fear of rejection often holds us back from inviting others to Christ. Dave and Gomer sit down with Jonathan Cardinal, Senior Regional Director at FOCUS, to discuss the power of one-on-one encounter, confronting the fears that keep us silent, and what it truly means to live as a missionary disciple. Together, they explore how each of us is called to be a living witness, leading others not just by words, but by example.

Overcome Your Fear of Evangelization

How do we truly accompany people into the Catholic Church? This campus minister seems to have cracked the code!

Kevin shares what’s working in their approach to curriculum, why vocation numbers are soaring, and how young people are deeply hungry for an authentic relationship with Jesus in the Catholic Church.

Evangelizing Without Pushing People Away

There are two fundamental doctrines every Catholic needs to understand; the Trinity and the Incarnation. Today, I share a fun RCIA talk that I recently gave to help you understand the very identity of God. I delve into salvation history in Scripture to demonstrate how the incarnation shows us the eternal self-giving love of the Trinity. 

Snippet from the Show

The mystery of the Incarnation points us to the eternal self-giving love of the Trinity.
