Intellectual formation is an essential part of growing as a ministry leader. In this Ascend session, we explore how continued learning, theological formation, and a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith equip us to serve others with greater confidence, wisdom, and purpose. Ministry leaders are called not only to share the faith, but to continually encounter the truth of Christ and grow in their ability to communicate it faithfully and effectively. This session offers practical guidance and encouragement for developing a lifelong habit of learning and formation.
