(If you didn't attend the first evening, you can watch it here, and the second evening here. The next night is related to the first two, but doesn't require attending them. Watching the presentations is good.)
Enjoy the month of Mary in the year of St. Joseph by working on your marriage. These talks, based in large part on a book by famous Catholic business consultant, Pat Lencioni, entitled The 3 Big Questions for a Frantic Family, help you to become more united with your spouse on who you are and what your family "mission" is. The first two evenings focused on "What makes our family unique?" and "What are your top priorities (your rallying cry)?" In this evening the Gruber's will teach us how to keep it all alive!
These talks revolve around three of the most basic questions that families need to have clear vision on. Couples who learn the answers to these three questions will have greater clarity in decision-making, greater confidence that things aren’t falling through cracks, and greater unity in major life-decisions.
St. John Paul II asked a huge favor of all families in his letter Familiaris Consortio – he asked for us to become what we are. Joseph and Crystal believe these three workshops are game changers for us to do what JPII asked, because they have seen these questions transform their marriage, their friends’ marriages, and many others as well!
Joseph and Crystal Gruber are parish missionaries with FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students). They’ve got four kids you can meet, three in heaven, and one on the way. After serving almost a decade on college campuses across the country, they’ve been serving a parish in Jackson, MI for the past three years. They feel called to work to both stop the dissolution of the family, as well as to strengthen marriages and families, by being missionaries, creating content, and fostering community for people to continue to grow. Crystal has started an online membership group for married couples to help them refine who they are and what they are called to do to sanctify the world in the context of an online community. Joseph and Crystal host a weekly podcast called A Word from Our Outpost. And they host workshops from time to time...
