Faith Meets Innovation: SmartGuy®’s Free Catholic OCIA Series

For centuries, the Catholic Church has invited people into a journey of faith through catechesis and community. Today, that invitation is reaching millions online thanks to SmartGuy®, a fast-growing platform that blends personal growth, business resources, and spiritual formation. One of its most groundbreaking initiatives is the launch of a 30-session Catholic Introduction (OCIA) series, available free to anyone who wants to learn about Catholicism or reconnect with their faith. The program mirrors the traditional Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA), but presents it in a modern, accessible way through high-quality on-demand videos. The goal is simple - to make the richness of the Catholic faith available anytime, anywhere, for anyone.

A Free Resource for Seekers and Returning Catholics

The SmartGuy® OCIA series is designed for a wide audience:

• Non-Catholics exploring Christianity who want clear answers about what the Catholic Church believes.

• Returning Catholics who may have been away for years and want a refresher on the essentials of the faith.

• Practicing Catholics who want to go deeper and strengthen their understanding of Church teaching.

Each of the 30 sessions focuses on a foundational topic, such as Who is Jesus Christ?, The Bible and Revelation, The Trinity and God’s Love, The Sacraments, and Mary and the Saints. The structure mirrors the parish OCIA process while offering a digital alternative that is accessible worldwide. “SmartGuy® wanted to make sure that anyone, anywhere, could explore Catholicism without barriers,” explained Jordan Wexler, founder of the platform. “By offering this series for free, we’re opening doors for countless people to encounter Christ and His Church.”

Blending Faith With Technology

What makes SmartGuy® unique is not just the content, but the format. Each session is delivered in engaging video lessons, designed to be both informative and practical. Unlike traditional classes that require attending weekly in person, these videos are available on-demand, allowing learners to move at their own pace. The digital approach has proven especially appealing to younger generations who prefer learning through short, high-quality videos. It also ensures accessibility for those who cannot attend in-person classes due to distance, schedules, or health challenges. By combining timeless Catholic teaching with modern technology, SmartGuy® is helping bridge the gap between tradition and innovation.

Inspiring Faith in Daily Life

The OCIA series is not just about knowledge - it’s about transformation. Each lesson invites viewers to apply the teachings of the Church to daily life, whether in prayer, family relationships, or service to others. To complement the series, SmartGuy® also provides Daily Inspiration features, motivational videos, and other self-growth tools. This integration ensures that faith is not viewed as separate from life, but as the foundation that strengthens every other area. “SmartGuy® brings faith into the same conversation as leadership, business, and personal growth,” said one early user. “It shows that being Catholic is not just about Sunday Mass - it’s about how you live every day.”

SmartGuy®Is Redefining Digital Faith Resources

As the Church continues to embrace online evangelization, SmartGuy.com is leading the way by showing that faith and technology can work hand in hand to change lives.
