This week’s Journey Home episode was with Mark Neugebauer, whose background is in Messianic Judaism. Mark has also shared his story in written form on our site.
In our newest Insights video short, Sr. Maria Theotokos recounted her first Confession, and shared how her Confirmation sponsor told her to get ice cream afterwards.
In Ken Hensley’s latest piece on sola Scriptura, he looks at how he came to understand the doctrine as being founded on circular reasoning.
And we made available another video from our Deep in History archives: this time, it’s Dr. Scott Hahn’s explanation of the Our Father from our 2009 conference.

An Anglican priest struggling with what to do now that he feels called to be Catholic, a Baptist seminarian who’s become interested in the Church, and a member preparing for her first Confession this weekend – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for and working with this month at The Coming Home Network International. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
