In this week’s episode of EWTN’s The Journey Home, Abby Johnson shared the powerful story of how she left Planned Parenthood and entered the Catholic Church, and we shared behind-the-scenes footage from her upcoming movie, Unplanned.
This coming Monday, Fr. Ed Meeks will be on The Journey Home, and on the latest Signposts video short, he shared how he entered Catholic Church, along with his whole parish, after Pope Benedict XVI created the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter.
We released two Deep in Scripture episodes this week, as Marcus Grodi launched a new series on Abiding and Abounding in Christ, and looked at how persevering in grace can bond us together as Christians.
And Ken Hensley wrapped up his 13-part series, How I Evangelize Those Who Doubt or Deny the Existence of God. It’s a great set of articles from Ken, and we encourage you to go back and read the whole thing from the beginning!

A recent convert experiencing a fresh wave of doubts about her decision to become Catholic, a member on the journey who’s stuck on Mary and Purgatory, and a member who wants to enter the Catholic Church, but keep his Protestant friendships – 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!
