Deacon Matt Halbach shares how faith is thriving on campus at Mercy College of Health Sciences, where he serves as VP of Mission & Campus Culture. He discusses his role in shaping Catholic identity, fostering spiritual growth, and walking with students who are seeking a deeper relationship with Christ. John Wood, author of the 7 Deadly Dragons book series, reveals the heart behind his storytelling.
