Reasons for Hope in 2020: Our Interview with George Weigel

2020 has been difficult. Between Covid-19, racism and the stress of an upcoming election, the anxiety levels are high. Our recent interview with George Weigel is worth a listen and we suspect will give you just a bit of encouragement.

If you’re unfamiliar with George Weigel, he is the Distinguished Senior Fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, recipient of 18 honorary doctorates, author of dozens of books and recently penned The Next Pope: The Office of Peter and a Church in Mission (Ignatius Press).

An article of his caught my eye a few months ago in First Things. He described Catholic campus ministry as in a sort of “golden age”. When I read that, I had to invite him to the podcast. See what you think about his take on :

  • models of campus ministry'

  • missionary discipleship

  • what he calls “Catholic lite”

  • and much more!
