Boy, was it a busy one!  Here’s what we were up to:

NICU nurse Renee Hendrix joined Marcus Grodi for an especially tear-jerking episode of The Journey Home.  If you want to know what got everybody talking, watch this video.

Dustin Quick recounted his journey from cradle Catholic to Islam, to a blend of Christianity and Islam, before returning to the Catholic faith of his youth in our Written Stories feature.

Msgr Frank Lane looked at how understanding the Trinity as a community of persons can serve as a corrective to an individualistic culture as part of our Deep in History lecture series.

And Deacon Alex Jones made another visit to our Deep in Scripture podcast, this time to talk about the OTHER controversial verse from Ephesians 5.

Coming Home Network community members shared what they formerly believed about what the Bible had to say regarding the end of the world.

And we got in the wayback machine to revisit a 1998 episode of The Journey Home featuring Mr. Apologetics himself, Patrick Madrid.
