The November CHNewsletter is out! Read it here.

This week’s episode of The Journey Home was a powerful conversation with Joelle Maryn, who shared how her experience of hitting rock bottom in the fashion industry turned her back toward the sacraments.

On this week’s Deep in Christ, JonMarc Grodi and Br. Rex Anthony Norris continued their study of the 12 steps and Christian spirituality, looking this week at Steps #8 and #9, and making amends for the hurt we’ve caused.

In the latest episode of On the Journey, Matt Swaim and Ken Hensley looked at the problem that a purely atheist worldview has in establishing a case for human rights.

And in a new Insights video short, Dr. Karin Öberg shared her path from C.S. Lewis through G.K. Chesterton to the Catholic Church.

Meanwhile, around the web…

CONVERTS AND CONVERSION

Former MLB player and Catholic convert Darrell Miller has become the first black permanent deacon for the Diocese of Orange.

A former Anglican bishop who recently became Catholic was just ordained to the priesthood.

A family of talented musical converts has produced another season of the children’s show The Wonderful World of Benjamin Cello.

Jared Staudt compiled a list of Catholic saints who were converts from various forms of Protestantism.

APOLOGETICS PICKS OF THE WEEK

Dave Armstrong looked at the Biblical reasons that Catholics don’t believe in Limited Atonement.

And Joe Heschmeyer explained the dangers of treating the Bible like a self-interpreting document.

 

*****

A member in ministry seeking a career change as they ponder entering the Church, another member nervously preparing for their first Confession, and a lifelong Protestant overwhelmed by the “learning curve” of Catholicism – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network International. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!

“Be sure that you first preach by the way you live. If you do not, people will notice that you say one thing, but live otherwise, and your words will bring only cynical laughter and a derisive shake of the head.”
St. Charles Borromeo
