Paul Venables, CEO of Venables Bell & Partners, met Fr. Bill Watson two years ago. The reason was not related to Sacred Story Institute. However, in time, Paul and Fr. Bill became friends. Fr Bill asked Paul for his professional opinion on a concept for a short promotional spot for the 15-minute Examen.

Paul got engaged and the rest is history. The Jesuit Weekly, America Magazine, recently published an article Paul wrote: “Finding God in a commercial? What I learned from an unconventional advertising project.”

All the spots are available and can be found here on the website for faith communities to promote the programs of SSI–all of which incorporate the power Ignatian spiritual discipline we know simply as The Examen.

Sacred Story Institute is truly grateful to Paul and his incredible team at RAOC Productions–Random Acts of Catholics, for helping us reach people where they live with the message: Make Life A Sacred Story In 15-Minutes A Day!
