Summary

Nearing the end of the Holy Habits in the House season, we are happy to welcome you to this ninth episode, part one of a two-part series. Fr. Josh and Dr. Brian lead us through a fruitful conversation with our guests Dr. David and Alicia Whidden. They discuss God’s call for all families to be a “A Family on a Mission.” Parents, God invites us to apprentice our children into life as a disciple of Jesus Christ, and we are given the ability to see children as a sacred gift from the Lord. God has given every child a special purpose, and the Whiddens remind us that we find it in service to others: service to the members of our family and to our larger community. Hospitality is one form of service, and the gift of our homes can be one we share with others. When we open the door of our homes to others, we open the door to our family mission and become a living witness of God’s love!

Episode transcript

“The Dominus Project has been a gift to Sacred Heart Church and School. Our parents feel encouraged and equipped to form their children in their relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. Every month our parents look forward to receiving the videos and having intentional conversations with their children about prayer, the sacraments and service to the poorest of the poor.”

Review by Fr. Josh Johnson

Director of Vocations, Pastor of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church & School, Diocese of Baton Rouge
