The “YES” of Missionary Discipleship featuring Tanner Kalina

December 09, 2022 • Family Rosary • Season 1 • Episode 14

Saying “Yes” to God requires sacrifice of our self-driven pursuits but God’s plans are always bigger and better than our own. Alex Dee as sits down with his long-time friend and recent FOCUS Missionary, Tanner Kalina as they reflect on their parallel journeys as actors in Los Angeles, growing closer to Christ, and finding their true vocations as husband and father to their loving wives and growing families. They discuss how “the power of one yes” relates to FOCUS’s model of missionary discipleship as well as specifically to Tanner’s life experience as a newly-wed.
