Former college volleyball player Juliana Calzonetti never expected Christ to reshape her 30 year life plans.

Daniel explores her journey from athlete to missionary and the inspiring graces behind it.
Gentry, the Director of Young Adult Ministry for the Diocese of Dodge City, first began noticing God’s quiet direction when baseball, a sport he loved, ended in an injury. It was a shift that opened space for deeper questions and a growing attentiveness to God’s voice.
That path eventually led him into discernment and to one unforgettable moment of clarity from his spiritual director: “You are an idiot, you should propose to that girl.” From that blunt grace came a vocation rooted in the daily, sanctifying work of Catholic family life of raising five children, learning love through sacrifice, and discovering how God forms us in ordinary moments.
Those lived lessons now shape his ministry as he ministers to young adults seeking the same peace and direction he once searched for.
Ever wondered what it’s like to hear God’s call, and actually say yes?

Garett shares the joys, the challenges, and the deep, personal love of Christ that shapes every moment of a priest’s life. Whether you’re discerning your own calling or simply want to see faith lived fully, this conversation is for you!

We kind of have a different video this week. Join us as Daniel shares what stuck with him from a retreat with Father John, and Tom reflects on being a young Catholic navigating politics and faith. We then dig into the Gospel of Luke: why it is so human, how Mary’s voice might be behind some of it, and why Luke might be the best starting point for anyone feeling far from God.
