From Consumer to Contributor
Feat. Lauren Gothard
Oscar sits down with Lauren Gothard to discuss how to navigate major transitions without retreating into what feels comfortable. Starting with an insightful takeaway from Spider-Man, they explore what happens when life shifts and we are challenged to embrace who we are becoming rather than clinging to who we’ve been.
Lauren and Oscar dive into the difference between being a consumer of faith and an active contributor to the Gospel. Lauren shares practical insights on overcoming the fear of sharing our faith, getting past the mental blocks that quiet the Holy Spirit, and recognizing that goodness is meant to be shared with those around us. She reminds us that God meets us as a healer in our brokenness so that we can step out in courage. Whether you’re heading to college, entering a new season, trying to deepen your faith, or just wondering whether God is real, this episode offers a simple challenge: give God an opportunity to lead you somewhere new.
Three Takeaways:
- Faith is not meant to be observed from the sidelines; it is meant to be lived, shared, and put into action.
- Transitions require courage to step out of our comfort zones.
- Pray for the opportunity, then stay alert for the moment
Lauren Gothard is an outreach manager at Damascus, a a missionary movement that partners with the work of the Holy Spirit to bring revival to the Catholic Church in America.
