Faithful Reason and Reasonable Faith
By Christopher KaczorSome people think of faith and reason like two UFC fighters locked in the octagon fighting it out. But according to the Catholic tradition, faith and reason are not opposed. Faith and reason are not like two fighters, but like two wings that allow us to fly towards the truth who is God. Rather than think that we must choose either reason (philosophy, science, etc.) or faith (revelation, scripture, etc.), it turns out we can have a reasonable faith and a faithful reason. Faith and reason are not enemies, but friends.
In this webinar, Christopher Kaczor, author of Is Belief Believable?, explores how reason can help us—and those we minister to—in our journey of faith.

Understanding the Human Emotions with St. Thomas Aquinas
By Austin Habash, Host of the Summa in a Year podcastJoin Austin Habash, founder of Think Catholic and host of the Summa in a Year podcast, for a live webinar exploring one of the most practical and overlooked areas of St. Thomas Aquinas’s thought: the human emotions.
In this session, Austin will walk you through:
• What the emotions are — how St. Thomas categorizes them and why they matter.
• What causes them — the inner movements of desire, fear, anger, joy, and more.
• How to remedy them — the path Aquinas gives us for ordering our passions toward virtue and peace.
This webinar will not only give you a clearer understanding of your own interior life and practical tools for spiritual growth, but it will also equip parish leaders with wisdom to better accompany parishioners who are struggling with emotional challenges, seeking healing, or striving to grow in virtue.
Come discover how the insights of a 13th-century Dominican can transform the way you live, love, and lead today.

Keeping the Flame Alive: Partnering with Parents to Pass on the Faith
Jennifer StavinohaOne of the biggest questions parents ask today is, “How do I keep my kids Catholic?” In a culture full of distractions and competing messages, many parents feel uncertain—especially if their own faith feels new, fragile, or incomplete.
In this webinar, Jennifer Stavinoha—ministry leader, writer, and content creator for Ablaze Ministries— will share research on the key factors that help young people remain Catholic into adulthood and offer practical strategies parishes can use to walk alongside families. Ministry leaders will learn how to encourage parents to embrace their God-given role with confidence (not guilt), and how to help them ignite a spark of faith in their children—and fan that flame as they grow into a lifelong relationship with Christ.
