Are you searching for more? The good news is that there is one who is searching for you—and he is waiting to be found.
You’ve shared with us a growing desire and need for more opportunities both to be both informed and inspired in your faith journey. In responding to this need, we seek to not only educate on the topics you wonder about, struggle with, and question, but ultimately bring you closer to an intimate encounter and relationship with Jesus Christ. This series is dedicated to the patronage of our diocesan co-patron, St. Thomas More.
Searching for More (SFM) offers 3-6 minutes of inspirational and catechetical content to enrich your faith and accompany you on your journey as a disciple of Christ. When you tune into an SFM episode on Instagram and YouTube, as well as anywhere you access your favorite podcasts, you’ll hear from lay faithful and religious alike from throughout the Diocese — people trying to live in, but not of, the world.
Have an idea for a topic to be discussed on the podcast? Please email your idea to [email protected].
