In this thought-provoking episode, Steve Wood contrasts St. Paul’s grace-filled, Spirit-led approach in Philemon with common Catholic pastoral practices that often rely on external mandates. From sacraments to Mass attendance, Steve challenges the Church to rediscover the power of love, invitation, and the Holy Spirit—rather than obligation—to form vibrant, lifelong disciples of Christ.
