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.
