The latest from CHNetwork

This week’s episode of The Journey Home was a fascinating discussion with former minor league baseball player Dan Venezia about how his faith was reawakened through his experience of adversity.

On the latest Deep in Christ, JonMarc Grodi continued his series on prayer by discussing what the Catechism says about obstacles to prayer.

In a new episode of On the Journey, Kenny Burchard shared the circumstances that led to him stepping down as a Pentecostal pastor.

Our CHNetwork Community shared how they wrestled, and continue to wrestle, with the idea of Mary as Queen of Heaven.

And on a new Insights, Matt Gerald talked about how he came to appreciate the spiritual motherhood of Mary.

CONVERTS AND CONVERSION

Angelus News reported on the crop of converts that entered the Church in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles this Easter.

Joseph Pronechen interviewed a college convert about the role Mary played in her decision to become Catholic.

Fr. Patrick Briscoe reflected on the Marian conversion of Raissa Maritain, the wife of Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain.

Abel Camasca shared the conversion story of a quadriplegic man who could be on the road to sainthood.

And Catholic News Agency reported on the possibility of Catholic convert St. Edith Stein being named a Doctor of the Church.

APOLOGETICS PICKS OF THE WEEK

Tom Hoopes encouraged us to embrace the strangeness of the Ascension of Jesus.

And Jeffrey Bishop reminded us that our own resurrected, glorified and ascended bodies will be in continuity with the bodies we have right now.

A member thinking of leaving the staff at his nondenominational church, another member who’s praying for their children to be open to joining them in exploring Catholicism, and all our members who are preparing to enter the Church at Pentecost — these are just a few of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
