Morning Light chats with Jeremy Cassidy - Regional Missionary Director for FOCUS.  Learn more about his incredible background at https://www.focus.org/missionaries/jeremy-cassidy

     Jeremy also works closely with the Diocese of Spokane spear-heading a new parish outreach grounded in the Making Missionary Discipleship model!

     Day 9 of Morning Light's on-air Consecration to St. Joseph, following the book by Fr. Donald Calloway.  Today, “Noble Offspring of David.”  In the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, we learn that St. Joseph is of the lineage of the Davidic kings.  The Old Testament prophets always taught that the Messiah would come from the Davidic line.  They made a point of emphasizing that even though Jesus is not the biological son of Joseph, he is the Son of Joseph by law and has the legal right to be called a descendant of King David.

     Morning Light welcomes Melissa Hemphill from Silent No More back to the studio.  On the phone, we all talk with our special guest - Dr. Alveda King - about her experience with abortion, healing and pro-life work.

     The mission?  An integrated approach to the religious formation of children, teens, adults, and lay leaders.  And speaking of leaders, Morning Light talks with the Director of Religious Education and Catechetical Leadership for the Diocese of Boise, Jackie Hopper.
