From Busted Halo: Hearing God’s Call in Large and Small Choices

Paulist Fr. Dave Dwyer and author Matt Kresich discuss how discernment is important for daily life, not just in discerning one’s life vocation.

We all experience times of uncertainty in our lives.

Paulist Fr. Dave Dwyer, executive director of Busted Halo, welcomes Matt Kresich to discuss his book, “The Path of Discernment: Hearing God’s Call.” It is published by Paulist Press, a ministry of the Paulist Fathers.

“My good friend and I were both discerning the priesthood together at once, and it was me who brought him to the vocation director,” said Matt, explaining that his friend became a priest while Matt did not.

“I saw it as ‘Oh, that was a dead end, that was a waste of my time.’ It wasn’t until looking back at the totality of it that you see those hidden ways that God has also worked in other people’s lives. It’s not just about you; It’s about your story weaving and intersecting with other stories to build this beautiful tapestry of God’s love and work in the world.”
