In this episode, Michelle Shaffer, Associate Director, Institute for Pastoral Leadership of the University of St. Mary of the Lake, shares her personal faith journey with both the highs and the lows. Her journey began with a firm foundation established by her parents and how that facilitated her own practice of the faith. She speaks about the blessings of marriage and family life when based in Christ. She also shares about her deepening hunger for a relationship with Christ after a weekend retreat, her first evangelization work through a simple angel pin, her ongoing work of evangelization by starting a Bible study and other faith formation efforts including serving as a youth minister. But with the beauty of the journey, she shares the hard times and emphasizes them as "opportunities to trust the Lord". Michelle's story will inspire you to learn about your own spiritual gifts and to live out your faith journey by growing in deeper intimacy with and trust of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
