Enkindle 74 – 10.10.21 – Everything is Not Enough

In this reflection for the Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Kristen Fisher relates the Gospel with the story of St. Francis, a man who gave up everything to follow Jesus completely.

St. Francis started to feel like even though he had everything, everything was not enough. He was still wanting something, looking for something, hungry for something. God had made Francis for more than just wealth or popularity or success or parties. God had made Francis for something way more wonderful.

So everything else he had, even all stacked up and added together, was not enough. Francis was made to live in a relationship with God to follow Jesus all of his earthly life so that he could spend his eternal life with him in heaven. So Francis gave up literally everything so that he could follow Jesus more completely

Kristen Fisher
Executive Director at | + EPISODES
Kristen was raised in a Catholic family, but it wasn't until middle school when she really encountered the Lord. Her faith journey ultimately led her to graduate from Franciscan University with a Bachelors Degree in theology and anthropology, and she left with a heart that was ready to share the Faith in the same way that had changed her own life; youth ministry. Kristen served as a youth minister in the Archdiocese of Baltimore for 16 years, spending most of her time serving middle schoolers and their families, specifically. She left parish ministry to join our team as we seek to equip and empower families to evangelize their own kids in a fun, authentic and dynamic way, all while working alongside parish evangelists. Kristen has been married to her husband Greg for  15 years, and together they are blessed to be raising 4 children.
