The end of the year means lots of “Top Ten” lists! For our part, we published two of them: the Top 10 Journey Home Episodes and the Top Ten CHNetwork Online Features of 2018. Some great content – check it out!
This week’s Journey Home episode was an encore of our conversation with former Assemblies of God pastor Ernie Freeman, who shared how becoming Catholic didn’t negate his Christian beliefs; it completed them.
And in a new Insights video, Steve Ray shares how he viewed religious travel as a Baptist, and how he sees it now as a popular Catholic pilgrimage guide.
