In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with my good friend, Father John Klein, a talented musician and frontman for RC Collective. We dive into how music has played a significant role in his priesthood, from his early days playing guitar to performing at World Youth Day in front of thousands. Father John shares how he uses his musical gifts to connect with young people and bring them closer to their faith, even recounting a powerful moment of spontaneous evangelization at an airport. We also discuss the exciting release of RC Music Collective’s new song “Hope Awakens,” inspired by the courage and hope found in the resurrection, and we give a sneak peek at the upcoming Jams and Jokes fundraiser.
