Enkindle 115 – 07.17.22 – The One Thing Necessary

For this reflection for Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Kristen Fisher shows us that the story with Mary and Martha reveals the difference between knowing God and encountering him.

Jesus wants us first and foremost, the one thing necessary, to recognize him, to meet him, and to welcome him into our homes, into our hearts. He wants us to truly encounter him and to let him fill us with his joy.

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.
