20: "We Won!" - Youth Ministry Tips from College Students | Faith Payson

Grexly — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 10:15:00 -0500

Following last week's chat on sainthood and youth ministry with Mickayla Hagar, Olivia and her Boston College friend Faith Payson circle back to their high school experiences and roles in youth ministry to give practical advice about what worked and what didn't from the perspective of recent high school graduates–– what made a difference for them, what could have been better, and how youth ministry prepared them to keep their faith strong in college.

Faith is beautiful human being who is truly reaching to the heights in her daily life at Boston College. She's a pre-med bio major, she sings in the Liturgy Arts Group choir with Olivia, and she and Olivia lead praise & worship Adoration together every week. Last summer, Faith was a Life Teen summer missionary at Camp Hidden Lake in Georgia, and she shares with us all about that exciting experience.

Listen in to hear a fun conversation with one of Olivia's favorite people!!

15: In A Saint-Striving Manner | College Seminarian Jeffrey Lindholm

Grexly — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Welcome back, To the Heights fam! First of all, thank you so much to everyone at #SLS20 who came to our live recording, and a big thank you to FOCUS for the amazing conference and the amazing opportunity to record there.

This week, following #SLS20 and the launch of Grexly (CatholicTV’s new podcasting division!), we are back in the studio with a wonderful, sincere, and uplifting guest: Jeffrey Lindholm.

Jeff and I crossed paths at BC, as he started off his college journey there as a pre-med biology major. He discerned at the end of his sophomore year to leave and go home to Cleveland and join Borremeo Seminary. He’s graduating this spring with a philosophy degree from the neighboring John Carroll University.

Jeff and I chatted about life at seminary vs. college, his path, finding time for prayer in a busy world, his experience as a Life Teen summer missionary, and lots of other fun things. We also took the time to answer questions that listeners posed in response to “if you could ask a seminarian anything, what would you ask?”

In this first episode we chat with Mickayla Hagar, a young, super cool high school youth minister in Hingham, MA. She’s a graduate of Franciscan University, she’s currently hiking the Camino de Santiago, and she really loves otters.

Here’s a glimpse of Mickayla’s faith journey, her life as a youth minister (and what it’s like to take students to Haiti), and her advice for young adult Catholics (and everyone!)
