Host: What is your background?

Father Leahy: I grew up in an all-white community. I was involved in the church. Every time there was something needed at the church, my parents told me to go do it.

Host: Explain to us what the life of a monk looks like?

Father Leahy: The best way to describe what we do is that we fall down and get up. We try to live in a community and love each other. And we pray around the clock.  Read more...

The church has been known to shoot each other because of what they’re doing. Whether it’s going multi-site or online streaming of services, the church hasn’t been friendly to each other.

There’s been a lack of unity within the church.

There’s something sacred about sitting with someone and sharing our mess-ups, our mistakes, our trials. They’re the situations in life that we hide and try to cover up. They’re also what creates something special within our community.  Read more...

Awaken The Wonder – Catalyst 2015 Andy Stanley

Catalyst Atlanta once again opens up with Andy Stanley. He’s the senior pastor of North Point Ministries and the author of Ask It!

Catalyst 2015 Atlanta: Andy Stanley Awakens The Wonder

Then, there was the wonder of babies being born, coming to faith, realizing God loves us unconditionally. Wonder was awakened.

When Wonder Is Awakened

Something magical happens when the wonder is awakened.  Read more...
