“You have one life, how are you going to spend the time you got? What kingdom are you going to serve?”
Br. Erik Lenhart has followed a vocation to dedicate his life to serving the poor as a a Capuchin Franciscan friar. His journey includes 2 years at West Point Military Academy and a year as an AmeriCorps volunteer (CapCorps volunteer) with Capuchin Youth and Family Ministries (CYFM). In this interview we touch on what it means to serve as a way to selflessness and the importance of service in discerning ones calling.
Quick disclaimer: the Next Generation of Service is not affiliated with a specific religion however we recognize the role spirituality and worldview play in ones journey toward purpose and orientation to service.
