Celebrating 25 Years of Word on Fire

About this sermon

Friends, it’s been twenty-five years since Word on Fire Catholic Ministries was born. I look back on the last quarter century with fond memories of creating the CATHOLICISM series, hosting multiple Reddit AMAs, seeing the first Word on Fire Bible, and more. During this week’s episode of the Word on Fire Show, we discuss the ministry’s accomplishments over the past decades and look ahead toward a bright future. A listener asks: How one might join Word on Fire’s Third Order.
