This week’s episode of The Journey Home was a great conversation with former church musician Heidi Hess Saxton, whose path to Catholicism began when her pastor resigned to become Catholic.
The latest episode of On the Journey was a kickoff for a new series that Matt, Ken, and Kenny are doing on faith, works, and a Catholic understanding of salvation.
We featured the written conversion story of Dave Armstrong, a veteran Catholic apologist who came through the New Age and the Jesus Movement on his way into the Catholic Church.
And on the latest Insights, Chris Kellam shared how St. Ignatius of Antioch, whose feast is October 17th, helped him understand the early Church.

CONVERTS AND CONVERSION
The National Catholic Register shared the incredible story of a Chinese politician who converted to Catholicism and became a Benedictine monk.
And Bronwen McShea looked at the history of Catholic conversions in U.S. presidential families.
APOLOGETICS PICKS OF THE WEEK
Philip Kosloski explained why you shouldn’t necessarily imitate everything the saints did.
Fr. Michael Van Sloun looked at the Biblical foundations of the Catholic priesthood.
And Zenit reported on a parish that has 30 Masses every weekend, with some 80,000 attendees… can you guess which country it’s in?

A member struggling to process all the scandals in Church history, another member who’s hoping to hear back soon about a job at a nearby parish, and all our members who are starting to hit their stride in OCIA — 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!

“I offer my life’s breath for the sake of the Cross, which is a stumbling block to the unbelievers, but to us it is salvation and eternal life.”
