Fr. Adam's quick lesson in humility

How do our sports and our faith collide? For Fr. Adam, it happens when he tells his story of weight lifting and how humility entered the seen. Who is the person we go to for help and for guidance.

Do we have the what it takes?

Just like Paul and Barnabas traveled all over the world to spread the Word, we are called to do the same. But do we have the stamina and courage to do the same?
