This week’s episode of The Journey Home was an encore of our conversation with Scott Weeman, who came back to the Catholic faith as part of his addiction recovery process. A great watch for National Recovery Month!
In a newly available written conversion story, Dr. Dale Pollard shared what led him to the Catholic Church.
On a new Insights video short, former Evangelical Protestant Jessica Ptomey discussed how she came to fall in love with liturgy.

An Bible-only Christian who’s trying to understand the Catholic faith, a couple who’s looking to grow together as new Catholics, and an inquirer whose casual interest in the Church is becoming more serious – 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!
