WITH: Fr. John Ricardo
Fr. John Riccardo lays out the kerygma with urgency and clarity in this 45 min video. Using vivid images (D-Day, “ambush predator,” the “strong man” bound, Col 2:15’s Roman triumph), he shows that Jesus didn’t come mainly to tell stories—He came to fight for us and rescue us from powers we cannot defeat on our own. The result is a Gospel that overwhelms the heart and sends us out with hope.
Why we recommend it:
This talk does what kerygma is meant to do: it moves people. It names the bad news honestly (the slavery of sin/death), magnifies the Good News (Jesus’ victorious rescue), and invites a concrete response of faith and surrender. Fr. Riccardo’s framing helps leaders and everyday Catholics share the Gospel quickly, clearly, and compellingly.
Great for: Parish missions, RCIA/OCIA, men’s/women’s retreats, youth/young adult nights, leadership formation, homily prep.
