The most important relationships are life-changing because they bring about a shift in your priorities and a transformation in your outlook. This is true of the single-most important relationship in your life: your relationship with Jesus. In this Webinar, Under the Infuence of Jesus: The Transforming Experience of Encountering Christ, Joe Paprocki, DMin, captures and explores the essence of what happens to a person when he or she encounters Christ. This transformation is characterized, above all, by a profound lack of inhibition—the same lack of inhibition that caused people to suspect that the Apostles were “under the influence” when they proclaimed the Gospel for the first time on Pentecost (Acts 2:13).

This Webinar will help you to recapture the simplicity and power of that first proclamation of the Gospel so that you, in turn, can re-introduce people to Jesus in a way that truly transforms hearts and minds—precisely what the New Evangelization calls us to do!

This Webinar will cover the following:

  • Recognizing the Gospel as an “alternate reality”
  • Methods for proclaiming Jesus as a Person, not as a concept
  • Identifying what a transformed heart “looks like” (how to break old habits and begin new ones)
  • Immersing ourselves in character: 6 steps for putting on Christ
  • Making the message go viral: how to evangelize

Joe Paprocki Intermediate Grades, Trinity: Father, Son, Holy Spirit

My lesson tonight includes the concept of God as king and of how we pray for the coming of the Kingdom.

(In fact, once, on the Feast of Christ the […]
