Ananias Training
Inspired by the important role Ananias played in St. Paul's journey to Christ, our Ananias Training will help parishes, homes, and apostolates become places where we can:
- recognize the stages of another's spiritual journey through compassionate listening.
- listen lovingly to their real questions and opinions about God in order to guide the discovery of how God is present and active in a person's life.
- talk about our relationship with God.
- share how we came to be a disciple of Jesus.
- share Jesus' own story in response to the spiritual hunger of another.

What is ChristLife?
ChristLife equips Catholics for the essential work of evangelization so that all people might personally encounter Jesus Christ and be transformed into His missionary disciples.
We developed the ChristLife Evangelization Process, which is a relational way to make missionary disciples by helping people discover, follow, and share Jesus Christ. Our ministry partners with parishes, priests, clergy, religious and lay leaders who are seeking to answer the Church’s call for the New Evangelization through a proven method of parish evangelization and outreach.

Steubenville QUADS

Catholics today face many obstacles to a vibrant relationship with Christ.
Many are without community and lack support in their faith journey. Many do not know what they believe, and even if they do, they may not be living out their beliefs or sharing them with others.Out of a passion to combat these obstacles and help people to have the relationship with Christ they desire, Franciscan University of Steubenville has conducted extensive research and created the Discipleship Quad.

Called and Gifted
The Called & Gifted™ Discernment Process has been used since 1993 by over 200,000 lay, ordained, and religious Catholics and other Christians around the world. It is designed to help Christians discern the presence of charisms in their lives. Charisms, or spiritual gifts, are special abilities given to all Christians by the Holy Spirit to give them power both to represent Christ and to be a channel of God's goodness for people. Whether extraordinary or ordinary, all charisms ought to be exercised in the service of God (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2003). All three parts of the process are necessary for discovering where you are gifted.
- Part One is the Called and Gifted workshop, which lays the foundation for the beginning of discernment. During the initial Called & Gifted workshop series the participants will take the Catholic Spiritual Gifts Inventory.
- Part Two is the one hour gifts interview, an invaluable part of the process.
- Part Three helps you begin discernment in the real world. It will teach you how to:
- develop charism experiments
- evaluate your results
- identify ways you learned to control life as a child that get in the way of using your charisms as an adult.
