Are You REALLY a Disciple? | The Ascension, St. John Baptist de Rossi, Gerry Hartley (Ep. 13)

THE LIVE IT TODAY PODCAST

On this Solemnity of the Ascension, we confront a piercing question rooted in Christ’s final earthly command: Are we truly disciples—or merely religious spectators? Anchored in Jesus’ Great Commission—“Go and make disciples”—this episode becomes a powerful inventory of Christian life, mission, marriage, family, and witness. Through the Gospel of Matthew 28, Greg and Stephanie challenge listeners to honestly consider whether Christ is truly shaping their habits, priorities, relationships, homes, and public witness… or whether faith has become merely informational, private, or convenient.


Featuring:

  • 5 penetrating disciple-inventory reflections from the Ascension Gospel — unpacking Christ’s call to mission, prayer, discipleship, marriage, parenting, and courageous public witness through Scripture, the Catechism, and the wisdom of the saints

  • A challenging examination of modern Christian life — asking whether our habits, screens, schedules, conversations, and relationships actually reveal communion with Christ or quiet compromise with the culture

  • The witness of St. John Baptist de Rossi — the little-known priest who left prestige behind to seek out the homeless, imprisoned, forgotten, and spiritually lost in the streets of Rome, reminding us that disciples go looking for souls

  • A moving testimony from Gerry Hartley — sharing how one simple invitation to Eucharistic adoration led a family member back to confession after 30 years away from the Church, revealing the extraordinary power hidden in ordinary obedience

At the heart of IT all is God’s reminder: We Image the Trinity. That’s the IT.
