Jordan Salame

Fr. Peter sits down for a chat with Jordan Salame, who worked as an intern in the Vocations Office and provided the incredible on-location footage seen at the beginning of every podcast episode! In this episode filmed last summer, they reflect on sharing the Gospel through media, how communication shapes culture, and how Jordan’s studies at Ave Maria University will help him do this. Fr. Peter and Jordan also discuss charismatic prayer and healing, being a Catholic missionary, true masculinity, putting God first above everything, and discerning your vocation.
