Allison Dreher – Former Baptist

February 4, 2020 Baptist, Conversion Stories

Allison Dreher accepted Christ as a young girl in the Baptist congregation her dad pastored, and was baptized a couple of times growing up. However, as she got into her adolescent years, she developed an eating disorder that drove her to extensive treatment, and deeply affected her relationship with God. When she met her future husband, who was Catholic, she was determined at first to prove him wrong, but then reluctantly joined the Church herself. It wasn’t until she discovered Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body that she began to truly fall in love with her Catholic faith, and became excited to share it.
