Atlanta, georgia went into the military for a few year, made a stop in alabama indiana and then a year and a half in europe. And then in 1988, i got stationed at the Oakland Army Base, in Oakland California and i lived in oakland from 1988 to 1998. So i loved the bay area. My daughter was born in you were here if the earthquake. October 17th, 1989. Were going to talk about very deep sports connections to the bay area in the second and the focus of our show is the fact that you are a contact lick a lay catholic evangelist, were going to break that down and talk about what that means looking forward to it. Lets talk about your dad. Tell us about your dad. Dad broke into the nfl in 1952. He was a walkon kind of undrafted free agent. In 1952. He set an nfl record that year of most interceptions in one season. He was traded to the chicago cardinals, played for them from 1953 to 1959 and then from 6066, he played for the detroit lions, went into the nfl hall of fame in 1974. His name was dick the night train lane. And that father of your has raised a wonderful son. We have a great picture of you. Thats was taken that was taken in 1994, the 20th anniversary of the induction at the nfl hall of fame in canton. I hear you get to go back there every once in a while. Yes, my brother and i get a chance to go back to the hall of fame every year and its a wonderful time of being able to celebrate dads legacy. Now, the neat thing is that you go back, not just as a child of someone in that legacy, but also as a preacher. People now know you as the preacher. So. Yes. Tell us about the john madden story. So im out here in Oakland California preaching i was preaching in san ramone a couple of years ago and i got down the preaching and after mass was over one of the ushers comes up to me and says theres someone that wants to meet you in the back i say okay, fine. I go and its john madden. And im like, its good to see you. I was there when you guys won the super bowl against the vikings. So about a year later i go to canton ohio, and the first person i see is john madden. And he says, what are you doing here . How come youre not back preaching at church . I said what are you doing here, how come youre not back at church listening . Mr. Madden is a great catholic guy, goes to church every sunday. He and his wife very devout catholics, a great great guy. Youve been preaching up until today recording this on the 25th of february. But you come back to the San Francisco bay area at the invitation of pastors and different churns and youve been at churches and youve been at gregorys in san mateo. Tell us about the football connection. So i go to gregorys this is last night. Yes monday night i go to st. Gregorys in san mateo and im doing what i always do, introduce myself to people as theyre coming in and there was a wobderful wonderful couple that comes in. My name is tom brady oh, great to meet you mr. Brady. Did your dad let you wear one of the super bowl rings. No, i left it at home. He says, were tom bradys parents. I was like, wow dont i feel bad . Thats wonderful. I said your son is going to wind up having one of these in 7 years. This was my fathers nfl hall of fame ring. When we come back, were going to talk about your ministry the heart of you w. H. O. You are right now of who you right now. Youre watching mosaic, my guest is richard lane. Well be right back in just a few minutes. [ music ] did you know kids who play outdoors have healthier lungs . Totally. I did. Did you know that boys that play with dolls make better husbands . My son has lots of dolls. But did you know terry cloth diapers breathe better . I did. Oh, yeah, yeah. Did you know that strollers have the right of way on a sidewalk . Yes. Yup, i did. Did you guys know did you know that kids who eat breakfast have higher gpas . Yeah, i know. Yeah. Thats actually what i was going to say. Did you know babies should never touch silver . Its really bad for them. I knew that. Did you guys know that statistically friendly kids have more friends . Mmhmm. Thats obvious. Did you know most people think theyre using the right car seat for their kid, but theyre not . Announcer parents who really know it all know for sure that their child is in the right seat at the right age and size. Visit safercar. Gov therightseat to make sure your child is protected. Im putting that on my blog. I just put it in mine. Welcome back to mosaic. And were here with richard lane a lay catholic evangelist and richard, i really want to get right to this. You the name, lay catholic evangelist, lets talk about that for a second. Break that down for us well lay meaning im not a priest or a deacon. Catholic evangelist, and some of my baptist and nondenominational friends tease me, and say isnt that an oxymoron. Catholic evangelist. Yeah, funny. But, basically, i am one that goes around the world doing Parish Missions, leading retreats for deacons priests and laity but i specialize in doing Parish Missions and really teaching catholics to the joys of our faith. To be able to live the faith every single day. Not just be the frozen chosen. Coming to fulfill our holy day of obligation, but really being that catholic that understands e advantage sags, that e word, to be able to go out and live out our faith and our calling. Uhhuh. Now, this this is a fire. Now, this fire had to start somewhere in you. How did you get going with this . When i was in the army, i got into the army in 1984 and i heard my mothers voice in the back of my head, boy you better be in somebodys church. I was raised lutheran. I didnt like the lutheran. They have h Catholic Services and so i started going to the Catholic Church. So i just started going. Then, when i got out here to the Oakland Army Base i found this wonderful Catholic Church in oakland, our native lord, pastored by a wonderful irish Catholic Church. Love you to death. Starting going there. Wonderful church, they welcomed me with open arms and it was just absolutely wonderful. Moved to st. Louis. Got involved with my church there. And then they started talking to me about these things that started with an s and ended with an s, sacraments. I said, i dont have any of those. So i went through the r cia process. Right of christian initiation for adults and i learned what god had been calling me to all of my life. I learned the beauties of my faith. I learned that the body and blood soul and divinity was in the uk ris. And that set me on fire. And so i became catholic, april 19th, 2003. And then two years later, in 2005 i go out on the street corners of st. Louis and pass out bibles. And inviting people into our church. To come in and worship as an e advantageist effort. So i started out with saying a hail mary and our father and i began speaking about what god meant to me in my life to others. I was ministering to dopers, gang bangers and it was wonderful. In the last ten year, the lord has brought me from the streets of st. Louis to preach the gop stel all around the gospel all around the world. They go, ive heard about this guy, im not sure, whats some of the things they will experience. A little bit of joy. And a little bit of excitement. Yes. So i try to make i try to welcome people. I always go and shake peoples hands and make people feel welcome. Thats one thing in the Catholic Church catholics are terrible at welcoming people. Work on it, guys. We really do. If the baptists want to convert you, what do they do . They hug on you and love on you until you convert. Lutherans will feed you until you convert. Catholics, what do we do . We make you feel guilty until you convert. And its got to be different. Weve got to show that joy. Uhhuh. I love our holy father, he says the joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter jesus so if we have that encounter then we give that same love to everyone. And thats what i try to bring to my Parish Missions. And what would you say to the folks, upon the end of that mission, how their life, their experience of the faith, their participation in the faith will be different the next sunday, what is going to be different about them who have been and heard that message . Some of the things that ive heard from people is that through some of the Parish Missions that i have conducted they have found that encounter a true encounter with the with the holy spirit. With their faith. They have found a true encounter with the word of god in the bible, the written word of god into where they can understand that word of god and apply it to their lives. And in their daily lives. So ive heard so many people say the next time i come combo turj r church, now i church, now i can understand the bible a little bit better. Im able to go and read it and able to understand how it applies to my life. Im able to be in connection in a better connection with god in prayer. Through the holy spirit. Asking for all of the blessings and the understanding that comes with our faith. Now and i bet you the faith of those people faces of those people look different. They do. In coming to the church and thats infectious. The actions, the calling, and i would imagine people get called into ministry, kind of like you are, activated the gifts of the holy spirit, and able to talk about the gifts of the holy spirit next seg m. But segment. But then realize ive been missing this guy life of joy of serve missing this life of joy of serving. Its infectious, everyone starts to yawn and its infectious. This fire that is given to us by the holy spirit is infectious as well. Uhhuh. And other people see that love in you. And this where did that light come from . I want to go through that. Chris has gone through so many battles in his life, but yet hes Still Standing and still smiling, how does they do is that . Yeah, yeah. And its not me, its god that is with me its the lords strength in me. Thats it. Were talking with richard lane, lay catholic evangelist.

And maybe make con enact and maybe and him to come to your parish in a Parish Mission, a couple of day, you can schedule that in advance. Come out.

Thats right, so its important to learn how to dress yourself. Heres how its done. Shirt, underwear, pants, socks, shoes. Underwear always first nametag on the back, then pants, then shirt.

Tying the shoes, were going to take the laces, were going to cross them over were going to turn them around where the bunny goes down the hole, pull it tight and bunny ears, got it . [announcer] most parenting is hard to do in just 2 minutes. But 2 minutes twice a day making sure they brush is easier and it could help save them from a lifetime of tooth pain. [ music ] welcome back to mosaic, my name is chris likert and my guest is richard lane, richard is a lay catholic evangelist. Lets look at your shirt there richard, what does that say . Richard lane ministries . Yes its a logo for richard lane ministries, its been going on now for ten years and going into 2015, were celebrating ten years of ministry, and so i kind of rebranded everything. Originally the ministry was known as quor ban ministry, dead gaited to god dedicated to god. Were dedicated to god everything that we do gives god gloir. You know, just upon hearing that statement there, people would say well, i dont know about me and im not sure if maybe for you youre really holy. You know, i mean, people say that. Yeah, ive got holes in my head, holes in my socks. Hes got a gift, i could listen to this guy for a while. But what does it mean to be everyone is called. Jesus called everyone, to every baptized christian is called to proclaim the good news. Its not just up to the priests the deacons, and the religious im im not a holy god. Im far from holy. But can use anyone. A lot of people think well, noah had to be a holy god because god used him to repopulate the world. No, noah was a drunk. They said, well, moses had to be a holy god because god used him to free his people. Moses was a murderer. Well im too hold to do anything well, guess what, a bram was 75 years old and god says im going to make you a father of many nations. So were all called. A universal call. Exactly. Because were just regular people, im just a regular guy dont have a ph. D. In sacred theology, but what i do have a first peter 3. 15 story. What i have is a reason for my belief. If someone ands me why im catholic, its not because my parents were catholic or i was baptized. Im catholic because i believe in the because i believe in the body, blood soul and divinity of jesus christ, thats why im contact lick. And i want everyone else to understand that encounter. Because i live this and i live this life and i go and minister to so many people that had rurting. I was ministering in richmond california last week, to a 17yearold young man, in one of the neighborhoods where one of his friends had just been murdered and i said how are you living today brother . He said, man, day by day. Today is a good day. Nobody got killed today. Im making it to my 18th birthday. I went yesterday and visited with a 5yearold girl who is visited with cancer, going through kerp 5 chemotherapy, 5 years old, she was ashamed because her head was bald. I went and got all of my hair cut off. Is that right . Ive not had my hair cut this low since i was in the military in 84 and i went back to her and i said guess what, look, i did this for you. You and i are in this fight together. And im going to pray for you every day, and im going to i dont want to put her name out there, but im going to pray for her every day and im going to go back and visit her and her family and let her know, were here. Its a battle out there. God calls us all to get in the battle. And youre walking, responding listening to the holy spirit, right where you are, no matter where you are. Yes. Now, we havent gotten to it were going to talk about what that actually means on a practical level, but were also going to talk about what that means on a spiritual level. How do we know, how do we know jesus is calling us to do something . People say, you know, i hear people say the lord spoke to them. How do they hear that . An ear piece in were going to talk about that. And i think were going to talk a little bit more about the email . You didnt get the tweet . No, no tweet. No memo. I got the tweet. No telegram, no fax. But were going to talk about how we us normal people, everyone hear god speak directly to their heart and to their mind, how to have a ministry in their own lives. Youre watching mosaic, my name is chris likert, and well be right back. [ music ] [music] and i cant change, even if i tried even if i wanted to. My love my love my love she keeps me warm, she keeps me warm, she keeps me warm, she keeps me warm, she keeps me warm, she keeps me warm, we are neighbors and best friends. I love my sister. My heart doesnt see race. Love is love. Our family is no less than any other family. 0001 [ music ] welcome back to mosaic, my name is chris likert, im here with richard lane. Lay catholic evangelist. Were talking about how to know that god is speaking to you. Many contact licks have received the sackments of confirmations. The spiritual bomb of having fruit in your life. When we receive the sacrament of confirmation thats the holy spirit being poured over us. Many people forget to open that up n. The Catholic Church since 196, theres been the charismatic renewal which is the outpouring, the baptism of the holy spirit, talk a little bit about what that really means and how people can open that up. It is a big topic. Exactly. And thats exact willly where i was going it started 2000 years ago with this 120 catholic saints, locked in an upper room, and the holy spirit came down, dekrended upon them and gave them the fire to run out and start proclaiming the gospel. They were speaking in tongues they were prof sighing laying on hands and heal heing and somehow, chris we lost that way. In 2000 years. I dont know why. So when we go to confirmation, what we really should be seeing in our 8th graders and sophomores in high school, we should not be surprised, in other words. Well, it goes back to it goes back to katakesis. We have to do a better job with our young people so they understand and that they have an encounter with the holy spirit. This is not an emotional psychological thing. This is actually meeting jesus. Exactly. And many people, catholics, have never had that themselves. And thats why a lot of churches have the ministries outside of the tradition, christ renews the parish and other 8 other ways to be able to come into contact with the holy spirit. A simple way is to simply and, holy spirit come into my heart. Were going to do that in a second. But you reminded me, pope francis is talking about this encounter, encounter jesus christ. When you encounter him, you cant help but talk to people. Before we close i want to have you say just a little word about your ministry, and how important it is that you have to raise your own finances, and folks pray for this man because hes got a family. And its not like its taken care of once you say yes. In fact, it might be a little bit harder. But lou can people support how can people support you .

Close out with a prayer and maybe somebody is watching this, and they say, you know, would like to id like to actually and the holy spirit, i dont know how to do it, maybe you can lead us. This the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit, lord we thank you for this time and thank you for all that you have done.
