Episode #115--"People Need To Experience Christ"--1:1 Conversation with Mario Costabile, Array of Hope
This week’s Say Yes to Holiness podcast 1:1 Conversation is with Mario Costabile, founding member and the executive director of Array of Hope.
Mario has been a successful music and film producer for over 40 years and received numerous awards for his work, but our conversation today focused upon his most recent endeavor--Array of Hope.
Array of Hope is a streaming platform that shares the Catholic faith through high quality media and music events. Think of it as a Catholic MTV with family wholesome programming, but it is truly designed to help people experience the person of Christ through music and media.
Mario has produced content for film, television, and the recording business. Among the notable organizations he has done work for are MTV, VH1, FuseH, Discovery Channel, the SYFY Channel, Off-Broadway productions, Yamaha Music, Sony Music, Def Jam Records, and Universal Music. Mario has also created and produced many programs that regularly air on Catholic radio and television networks such as EWTN, The Catholic Television Network, The Catholic Faith Network, Salt and Light Media, Shalom World TV, and the NET. In the past few years, Mario produced a television series called “Fatima Gems” which is part of the online streaming service FORMED.
In 2009 Mario musically produced two hit singles on Christian Radio, “I Need An Angel” and “Alone Time” for the band Sacred Road. Currently, Mario is working on new music in 2022 to be released through Array Of Hope.
Mario is committed to utilizing his talents to do God’s will, and he launched Array of Hope in union with the vision to unite families and help them grow closer to God.
In 2020 Mario was awarded the Legatus “Bowie Kuhn Special Award” for evangelization. An award which recognizes an individual who has exhibited significant efforts to spread the good news of Jesus Christ among his peers, so very appropriate that our conversation revolved around the idea that "people need to experience Christ."
I pray that this conversation with Mario excites and encourages you as much as it did me to see how the Holy Spirit is inspiring people to use their gifts and talents in service of building the Kingdom, and also that it helps you continue to do WHATEVER IT TAKES so that people experience Christ through you as well.
