Choosing Catholic Sponsors: Why It Matters More Than You Think
About this episode
As their parents grow older and suffering becomes more personal, Gomer and Dave reflect on the hidden ways God forms saints through weakness, loss, and love. Gomer shares the heartbreaking experience of moving his father into long-term care, while Dave opens up about walking through hospice and caring for his son, Max.
In the midst of these deeply human moments, they explore what it truly means to accompany another person in the faith. From OCIA to Confirmation and everyday Christian life, they unpack the real role of a sponsor, not just as a title, but as a spiritual guide, mentor, and witness. Together, they challenge common misconceptions, explain what the Church actually teaches, and offer practical wisdom for choosing, and becoming, someone who helps lead others closer to Christ.
