Episode 7: Redemption, Like the Prodigal Son
Deacon Bobby Ehnow shares a story of success, failure, incarceration, faith, and redemption - a journey that echoes Jesus' parable of the Prodigal Son. Bobby had built a life that looked successful from the outside: a retired Marine officer, a businessman, a husband and father who went to church and tried to live a good life, while his priorities quietly centered more on money and achievement than on God. A federal investigation, conviction, and prison sentence brought that life down and forced a deep examination of his choices, his faith, and the person he wanted to become. After returning home carrying shame and uncertainty, he walked back into church and his priest embraced him with the words "Welcome home, Bobby." Today Bobby serves people affected by incarceration and reentry through restorative justice work, and he is the author of All Things New: A Journey from Brokenness to Restoration.

Episode 6: Finding Purpose Through Faith, Football, and Mission
Mark Walton sits down with Carter Schultz, a recent Benedictine College graduate and missionary with The Culture Project, to talk about faith, identity, purpose, and answering God's call. Football brought Carter from Southern California to Benedictine College in Kansas, but what began as an opportunity to play quarterback became something bigger - a deeper faith, Bible studies, and St. Joseph's Forge, a men's accountability group centered on chastity, sobriety, and excellence. Carter shares how he discerned a call to missionary work over comfort and security, and why finding your purpose begins with trusting God and using the gifts He has given you.
