Episode 33: Discipleship with Gian Gamboa
What does it really mean to pass on the faith — not just as a curriculum, but as a lived relationship? In this episode of St. Theresa Greater Things, Father Barry and J.D. McQueen sit down with Gian Gamboa, our newly appointed Director of Ongoing Formation and Discipleship, to share his journey from pre-med student to missionary, youth minister, and Catholic speaker — and what ultimately led him to St. Theresa. The conversation tackles an honest challenge in modern faith formation: too often we expect young people to behave before they truly belong. Together, they explore why belonging comes first, how conversion happens through relationships and community, and what it means to form not only teens, but the adults who walk alongside them.
