How God Shapes a Vocation with Seminarian David Vest

Описание: Seminarian David Vest shares his inspiring journey from childhood “Pop-Tart Masses” to his upcoming ordination in the Archdiocese of Louisville. We discuss discernment, seminary formation, and the joy of living a Christlike life. Learn how prayer, fraternity, and trust in God shape a man’s vocation, and why formation is never wasted time. You’ll also hear what happens when you mix a cassock, a turtle rescue, and a golf tournament at seminary.
