Getting Spiritually Fit this New Year!

Joe Paprocki Books, Joe's Comings and Goings

I commented a few days ago about the fact that many of us commit to getting physically fit in the New Year and, while there is certainly nothing wrong with that, perhaps it would be even more important to get spiritually fit! My new book, 7 Keys to Spiritual Wellness will help you to do just that.

To be spiritual is to recognize that, in life, there is more than meets the eye. Spiritual wellness enables us to seek the “more.” In my book, I provide 7 enduring and reliable strategies for maintaining a wellness in our spiritual lives so that we can recognize, seek, and embrace the “more” that is God’s grace.

There’s no time like the present to get started and, since my book is not yet available (it will be in just a few weeks and you can pre-order it NOW!), I’ve decided to go ahead and share the introduction and chapter 1 with you, FREE! I hope you enjoy it and I also hope that it whets your appetite for the rest of the book!

We sometimes get the notion that when Jesus performed miracles, the disciples just watched from the sidelines. Not so in the story of Jesus Feeding the 5000 in the Gospel of Mark (6:33–44)! In fact, when the disciples alert Jesus to the need to feed the crowds, Jesus’ response is “You give them something to eat.” (NIV) As the story progresses, the disciples do not remain passive. They do the following: take inventory of what is […]

Grace-Filled Moments Disguised as Stress

Margie Copeland Growing as a Catechist

The three o’clock hour arrived. The rooms were ready for the children. Packets of Holy Week coloring pages were counted out. Then the first text came in: “The sitter is not coming. I cannot teach this afternoon.” Then the second text: “So sorry, I forgot about an appointment; I cannot teach this afternoon.” Yikes! Now came the stress. But being experienced, my overdrive kicked in, and I gathered my wits and combined groups, shuffled some […]

Family Catechesis at St. Barnabas: Saving the Toughest Topic for Last

Joe Paprocki Family Catechesis

This past Sunday was our last teaching session of the year for family catechesis at St. Barnabas, and we saved the “toughest” topic for last: the moral life! Of course, we didn’t actually save that for last; it just happens to be the last unit of the Finding God program. The theme of the session was, “The Moral Life: Stop Trying to Fix Yourself,” which gave us the opportunity to lay the foundation for the […]
