173 Fr. Greg Gerhart: Dos & Don’ts of Dating

On Wednesday, July 15, Pam Marvin talked with the newly assigned Vocations Director for the Diocese of Austin, Fr. Greg Gerhart, about dating. In the first part of the show, Megan Silas, Pam’s co-host on the new podcast, Shoulder to Shoulder, talked about St. Bonaventure, a Franciscan priest who united the pastoral and practical aspects of life with the doctrines of the Church in an appealing way. In the second half of the show, Fr. Greg spoke about the dos and don’ts of dating. Fr. Greg said we should treat dating as a means to an end, and that end is marriage. He went through the 5 stages you would go through to get married: 1) being single 2) dating 3) courting 4) engaged 5) married.
