About the Podcast:

When the Holy Spirit engages in somebody’s life, they are never the same! Join Fr. Peter Julia on Engaged By The Spirit as he spends time in conversation with a variety of guests, sharing stories about how the Holy Spirit is transforming lives.

Fr. Peter Julia is the Director of Vocations for the Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon and an Air Force Chaplain in the Oregon National Guard. Engaged By The Spirit is produced by Mater Dei Radio in Portland, Oregon.

From Fr. Peter:

The same way we get to know each other on this Earth as friends is similar to the way we get to know the God of the universe – through conversation and time.

I have always been drawn to the Gospel stories such as "The Road to Emmaus" and "The Transfiguration" because the apostles accompany Jesus to a destination. For anyone who has been destined for anywhere, you spend a lot of time in conversation with people around you. It's this equation of conversation + time that equals relationship.

This podcast is a conversation, not an interview – because real people have conversations, they don’t interview each other.

That is the aim of the Engaged By The Spirit podcast: to spend time in conversation with each other to share stories, ideas, and glorify God.

I never imagined I would live in five different U.S. states, let alone the Vatican City-State, but that is what the Lord had in store for me. As a result, I have met hundreds of incredible and fascinating people. Just when I think my cup of friends is full, it overflows with another community of people. Most recently, joining the Air Force as a chaplain has my cup running over again.

This podcast is all about getting to know a huge variety of people, and about how when the Holy Spirit locked onto them, and engaged them in the Divine Life… it changed everything!

We are excited and grateful to bring this podcast to you, and hope you enjoy these conversations as much as I have.
