The latest from CHNetwork

The December 2025 CHNewsletter is out! Read it here.

This week’s episode of The Journey Home was an encore of our conversation with Dr. Brian McGee of Quincy University about his path to the Catholic Faith.

On the latest Deep in Christ, JonMarc Grodi welcomed former Presbyterian Nathan Wigfield to talk about everything from conversion to vocation to Catholic prayer, especially the Liturgy of the Hours.

In a new episode of On the Journey, Matt, Ken, and Kenny looked at how Abraham’s story shows that there’s a much better way to understand salvation than Faith Alone.

For the December 4th feast of St. John Damascene, Matt Swaim looked at his legacy in regard to defending the use of images in prayer and devotion.

Journeys Home 3: Pentecostals and Charismatics is now available in our online store. Get your copy today: chnetwork.org/jh3

A member who’s embracing sobriety as part of their conversion process, another member struggling with family estrangement during the holidays, and all our members who are continuing through 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!
