The latest from CHNetwork

The January CHNewsletter is out! Read it here.

This week’s episode of The Journey Home was a wonderful conversation with Ken Oliver-Mendez of Catholic News Agency about how his interest in journalism played into his journey to the Catholic Faith.

In the latest On the Journey, Ken Hensley shared the seven-step process by which he ultimately came to the realization that the Reformation doctrine of salvation by “faith alone” is not supported by Scripture.

And we shared the written testimony of Beverly Whelton, a Seventh-day Adventist who became Catholic.

CONVERTS AND CONVERSION

Beatrice Scudeler reflected on why so many literary figures have converted over the past few centuries.

The Wall Street Journal reflected on the increase of interest in Catholicism on the campus of Harvard.

And Dr. John Bergsma shared a bit of his journey from Christian Reformed Church pastor to Catholic Bible scholar at this year’s SEEK conference.

APOLOGETICS PICKS OF THE WEEK

Clement Harrold wondered how angels and demons can fight if they don’t have physical bodies.

And the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communications shared a new way to participate in the pope’s monthly prayer intentions.

A member who is just getting started with the rosary, another member whose spouse is starting to express interest in the Church, and all our members who are preparing to be received into the Church in 2026 — 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!
