More Academic Adventures

Season 6 Episode 2

In this episode, Fr. Steven shares about his latest academic adventure — beginning work toward an STL (Licentiate in Sacred Theology) in the New Evangelization at Sacred Heart Major Seminary. 

What exactly is an STL? Why go back to school now? And what does the New Evangelization even mean in a world that often seems tired of religion?

Fr. Steven unpacks the structure of the program, the classes he's diving into this semester — Theology of the New Evangelization, Carmelite Spirituality, and Vatican II — and what he hopes to carry from the classroom into the pulpit, the parish, and beyond.

Whether you're a theology nerd or just wondering what "Carmelite spirituality" even is, this episode offers a great look at the intersection of faith, study, and mission.
