Stepping Forward with Hope-Filled Commitment
By Erich Wallace. A few weeks ago, I attended the March for Life in Washington, D.C. with 76 other people from the Diocese of Superior and 650,000 people from across the nation. I have never really done anything “pro-life” per-se, except attend a “Right to Life” banquet several years ago because of a last minute invitation. Saying that, I was excited to get educated about the pro-life movement through this trip...
By Erich Wallace. I hope you’re entering into the new year with renewed joy and passion for life. The Diocese of Superior’s monthly challenge for January is to remain joyful even amidst difficult circumstances, and I just heard a talk by Chris Stefanick from #SEEK2019 about how to keep “The Joy of the Lord” in your life. I have been trying to take these challenges to heart, but I’ve also been encountering the fact that many people are leaving the Catholic Church in our country and missing out on the opportunity to experience this joy...
By Erich Wallace. John the Baptist was destined to be one holy dude from the get-go. His birth was foretold by an angel, and the angel said about John: “He will be great before the Lord… and he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God, and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared,” (Luke 1:15-17).

I’ve been coaching the high school boys’ soccer team the last couple months, on top of working full-time, trying to run some youth ministry events, and all the while attempting to have a little bit of a social life.

By Erich Wallace. AKA “How to Die (to Oneself) in a Healthy Way (and a Not So Healthy Way).” When I was in college and was just starting to actually read the Scriptures and to learn more about the life of Jesus, I began to encounter some pretty serious struggles...
By Erich Wallace. September is here, and the craziness has begun again; especially for students or those that work in schools (like myself) who had the whole summer off to do as we pleased. Because of this, I am particularly excited to write about what God has been teaching me through a little, round, stuffed bear: Winnie the Pooh...
By Erich Wallace. Do you have one of those friends that just has no shame in inviting people to things? Especially Catholic things? These people are changing others’ lives because they have the courage to invite them to a place where they can encounter the risen Christ...
By Erich Wallace. Traveling is such a cool thing to do. Witnessing different cultures, architecture, language, and landscapes; meeting new people; and trying new foods are such wonderful experiences. But, even amidst all of these beautiful and new things, if we are resisting God, they can still lack joy.
By Erich Wallace. I'm going to write on something that I'm really bad at. Well... getting better at, but for sure still growing in...
