Discern & Decide
Would you like to learn how to discern God’s guidance in your daily life and to follow His guidance more closely in significant life decisions?
Then join us for “Discern & Decide,” a video series about Spiritual Discernment based on the wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Each short episode invites reflection on how God is present and active in our daily choices and offers time for table discussions, reflection, prayer, and journaling. This learning opportunity is designed to help people of all ages and walks of life deepen their trust in God’s guidance.
Discern & Decide was written by Fr. Michael Sparough, SJ, a Jesuit for 50 years who serves at Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House in Barrington, IL. He is very popular YouTube teacher with his Heart to Heart series and his recent Lenten series, Seeds of Hope. His retreats are booked early as well as his parish missions. His Master’s degree from Yale University in drama serves well to deliver his messages in a unique and heartfelt way.
Fr. Michael has been studying, teaching, and preaching about Ignatian Discernment in a variety of formats, and he co-authored the book, What’s Your Decision, and now brings the material to life in this dynamic video series.
