Turning RCIA Steps into Daily Faith Posts
Bookstagram challenges are everywhere, but this one’s got a little more soul behind it. Imagine using your daily photo posts not just to show off pretty books, but to reflect on the real spiritual journey behind the RCIA process. It’s a way to bring faith, creativity, and community together—without it feeling forced.
Journey Through Time by Dr. Laurence Aucella offers the perfect structure for this. The seven steps of RCIA aren’t just checkboxes—they’re milestones of transformation. Each one can inspire a post that’s meaningful, relatable, and totally on-brand for anyone looking to share their faith visually.
How to Build the Challenge
Start with the first step: Inquiry. Post a photo that shows curiosity—a journal, a question written on a chalkboard, or even an open Bible with your morning coffee. The caption? Something like “What am I truly seeking right now?” Simple, reflective, and honest.
Move on to the Catechumenate. Capture community—maybe a group photo, a church doorway, or hands holding rosaries. The goal here is to show how formation happens with others, not in isolation. Keep the caption tied to the idea of belonging and learning.
Then roll through Purification and Enlightenment, Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, and Mystagogy. Each photo becomes a tiny reflection of a bigger journey. Pair it with quotes from Journey Through Time, a Bible verse, or your own takeaway from that step. It’s low pressure, high impact, and super shareable.
The Author Who Connects Faith to Everyday Life
Dr. Laurence F. Aucella isn’t just about history and data—he’s about formation that sticks. With years of RCIA leadership, counseling, and teaching under his belt, his writing reflects the real-life rhythms of conversion. That’s why his work fits perfectly with something like this challenge.
The way Aucella breaks down each RCIA step isn’t dry—it’s personal, practical, and deeply connected to how people actually grow in faith. He reminds readers that every step, every rite, and every lesson isn’t just tradition—it’s a lived experience. That’s exactly the kind of message that belongs on your feed.
