About this sermon
Support the channel by visiting: https://brianholdsworth.ca/help Modern “youth ministry” often tries to borrow from pop culture in hopes of keeping young Catholics engaged. But is this the right approach? In this video, I argue that authentic Catholic culture — beautiful liturgy, true community, and sacred tradition — is far more effective than trying to imitate TikTok trends or rock concerts.
