Episode Description

Welcome to the very first episode of the Deacon Life Podcast!

In this inaugural episode, I sit down with Deacon Alec Campbell to hear his remarkable journey from a young man in central Louisiana to ordained diaconate ministry. Deacon Alec shares about his formative Steubenville Youth Conference experience, his year as a NET missionary in Canada, and the winding path that led him from considering priesthood to embracing his vocation as a permanent deacon.

What we discuss:

  • Growing up Catholic in Louisiana and the influence of his devout grandmother
  • The pivotal eighth-grade Steubenville conference that changed everything
  • Life as a NET missionary and learning to be "uncomfortable"
  • Discerning between priesthood and the diaconate
  • Navigating family life, full-time work, and ministry
  • His deep passion for liturgy and helping others fall in love with the Mass
  • Why every deacon's story matters

Whether you're a deacon, in discernment, or simply curious about diaconate ministry, this conversation offers an authentic look at what it means to be called to serve as a deacon in the Catholic Church.
