Discover how a timeless poem about God’s relentless pursuit of the human soul intersects with one seminarian’s remarkable path to priesthood. Kyle Lang, currently studying in Rome, shares his transformative journey from a Catholic family in West Salem to the heart of the universal Church.

Through the lens of Francis Thompson’s “The Hound of Heaven,” we explore humanity’s tendency to flee from divine love while seeking fulfillment in lesser pleasures. Kyle’s story illuminates how God’s patient guidance can lead us to our true calling, even when we feel unworthy or resistant.

The discussion weaves together themes of:

• Divine pursuit and human resistance
• The challenge of answering God’s call
• Finding joy in unexpected places
• The wisdom of childlike faith
• The transformative power of suffering

From the streets of Rome to the depths of the catacombs, this conversation challenges us to examine where we might be running from God’s presence in our own lives.

Join us for a profound exploration of vocation, faith, and the relentless love of the Divine Hound who never stops pursuing us.
