#126: “Welcome to Hope Springs” with Paul McCusker, Senior Creative Director for the Augustine Institute.

The Follow to Lead Podcast

A great resource for families and schools has been released by the Augustine Institute called “Welcome to Hope Springs,” an audio drama series that looks at life through a Catholic worldview. We’ll be talking with Peabody Award-winning author Paul McCusker, the writer and producer of the series about its development and distribution. The story follows a tight-knit group of young friends who gather at a restored train station that becomes a community hub. As they pursue new adventures, they solve unexpected mysteries and encounter unexplainable events. The kids gradually learn that their choices and relationships shape who they are becoming, offering meaningful moral lessons that give parents easy openings for conversations about character and faith.

About Podcast

Follow to Lead is a monthly podcast produced by the Duc In Altum Schools Collaborative (diaschools.org) primarily for leaders and professionals in Catholic Education. Our goal is to help our audience listen for and follow God’s call in order that, both personally and professionally, we may lead others to God. Each month co-hosts Fr. Randy Sly and Kyle Pietrantonio will showcase stories of inspiration, observations and insights from Catholic leaders, well-known speakers, school administrators and others active in the educational mission of the Church. Follow to Lead can help each of us know better how God is calling us, and the role passionate Catholic education plays in spreading His message of faith, hope and love.
