The real subject of this episode is the mutual discernment between and man and the Church on whether he enters seminary or not. That means sometimes, a man is not accepted into seminary.

This week the priests talk about when the notion of priesthood first entered their thinking. In addition, they discuss how parents and grandparents can help foster vocations.

Looking for Signs
The Lord is certainly capable of making His will known through signs. But does He typically do that when it comes to a vocation? Whereas it is not unheard of, neither is it likely. The three priests discuss the role of signs in a vocation as well as the dangers of looking for them before making a decision.

Bootleg Edition: Fr. Kapaun
This was originally recorded as a practice episode, never meant to see the light of day. However, as the three priests delved into how impactful the funeral rites of Fr. Emil Kapaun were, they decided the value of this conversation outweighed their shortcomes of their fledgling recording abilities. They hope you agree.

Am I Holy Enough?
Spoiler alert: No, you are not holy enough. But is that even a helpful question? The three priests talk about the dangers of that question and how it can positively and negatively affect discernment. Editor's Note: Fr. Chad makes reference to St. Francis Xavier when he meant St. Francis de Sales. He would like it known that commonly in day to day life he calls people he has known for many years by the wrong name. So this is par for the course.

God's Timing and Trust: Fr. Chad Arnold
Fr. Chad Arnold is the vocations director for the Catholic Diocese of Wichita. His own vocation story is one that teaches us how to never let a moment go by unnoticed, and to always invite God into our story. While some moments in our journey are heart wrenching, and others are beautiful, intentionally sanctifying moments by acknowledging and thanking God, is a calling we all need to respond to.
