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.

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.

Evangelizing Without Pushing People Away

Life is messy, but we are sanctified through it. Today, Dave "How are you" VanVickle and I catch up on a bunch of random topics and the chaos in our lives. We chat about Dave's wife's cancer treatment, suffering at the parish, embracing the cross, and ideas for a discipleship think tank!

When life gets messy, there is incredible grace in not asking “why?” and just letting God carry you.
