This week on In Layman's Terms, hosts John Soukup and Bob Sullivan welcome a very special guest: Bishop James D. Conley of the Diocese of Lincoln.

In a wide-ranging and candid conversation, Bishop Conley discusses the Diocese of Lincoln's new pastoral plan and the vital role Catholic men play in strengthening parish life, marriage, family, vocations, and the future of the Church. The discussion tackles some of the biggest challenges facing men today — isolation, complacency, spiritual battle, and the call to leadership — while offering practical encouragement for men striving to live their faith with courage and purpose.

You'll also hear Bishop Conley describe what it means to prepare for what the hosts call the “Universal Championship” — the ultimate battle for souls — and why no Catholic man is meant to remain on the sidelines.

Join us for an engaging, thought-provoking, and at times humorous episode of In Layman's Terms on the Spirit Catholic Radio network.
