Ep 115 - Identity Stage 2 - Contribution

In this episode of Charisms for Catholics, host Jill Simons delves into "Identity Stage 2" as part of the ongoing series on the identity quotient.

Building on the foundation laid in the previous episode, Jill explores what it means to be in the stage of identity corresponding to ages 6-14, where people begin contributing meaningfully to the larger family of God through charism discernment. Jill discusses the importance of understanding and focusing on one's charisms to avoid spiritual complacency and emphasizes the significance of balancing charisms and vocation.

Join Jill as she examines how intentional discernment in this stage can prepare the faithful for the exciting possibilities awaiting in stage three, and how it can transform one's spiritual journey from a state of routine to a flourishing relationship with God!
