FOCUS founder Curtis Martin joins David Hahn to explain why he thinks the Church faces a listening crisis rather than a vocations crisis, and what he is seeing on college campuses and in parishes today. He also talks about the spiritual disciplines that have kept him going, how parents can raise children who hold on to the faith, and what he would tell the next generation of Catholic founders. New segments of The David Hahn Show air every week, so subscribe and hit the bell for more.
