Resource Review/Links
A simple, portable explanation tool for helping someone understand what it means to make Jesus the center of life. Works best when paired with brief leader context so it doesn’t become “a diagram without an invitation.”

With: Fr. John Ricardo
Led by Fr. John Riccardo, The Rescue Challenge is a 14-day podcast journey designed to help listeners rediscover true hope through the Gospel. Each day offers a short reflection that invites prayer, renews the mind, and strengthens trust in the only One who makes all the difference—Jesus Christ. Rooted in The Story proclaimed by ACTS XXIX’s Rescue Project, this challenge makes space for a daily encounter with Christ in the midst of ordinary life.
The powerful story in this short film, when paired with the discussion guide, is built to help groups move from conversation into spiritual openness and Gospel readiness. Designed to create the relational and interior conditions where proclamation can actually land.
