10. A Methodist Pastor’s Hunger for the Eucharist – Deep in Christ

JonMarc Grodi spoke with former Methodist pastor Keith Nester about how his relationship with Christ has continued to grow since entering the Catholic Church.

They discuss many topics, from the process that led Keith to become Catholic, to the prayers and devotions that Keith has come to love since entering the Church.

Keith talks specifically about how receiving Jesus in the Eucharist has transformed his Christian life, and what he has learned about what it means to have a relationship with Jesus through the sacraments that He established. Watch the episode.

9. The History of the Sign of the Cross – Deep in Christ Short

It’s one of the most recognizable gestures in any religion; but what are the origins of the Sign of the Cross?

JonMarc Grodi talks to Dr. Jim Papandrea, author of Praying Like the Early Church, about how the Sign of the Cross is discussed in the earliest available Christian texts, and why many believers continue to observe this visible form of prayer even today. Watch the video.

8. Signposts – Bobbyjon Bauman

Bobbyjon Bauman had a major awakening of faith when he encountered the non-denominational work of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in college, and went on to pursue a call to ministry.

But that raised a complicated question for him: which denomination should he be ordained in?

Bobbyjon shares how that question led him to several years of extended prayer and study, including years of seminary formation. Ultimately, it was what he found in the witness of the earliest Christians that helped him to understand where to find his true spiritual home. Watch Bobbyjon’s story.

7. Signposts – Sharon Ripley

Sharon Ripley had an experience of a variety of forms of Christianity growing up, and even went to Catholic schools, but it wasn’t until her 40’s, when she felt that her life was missing something, that she decided to get serious about finding a church home.

Sharon immediately found a nurturing Christian community in the A.M.E. Church that formed her in intercessory prayer and a theology of the Holy Spirit, and she even served in children’s ministry.

However, in her continuing ministry formation, her study of the New Testament, especially John’s Gospel, began to lead her more and more to the conviction that Jesus truly was calling her to receive him in a unique way in Holy Communion in the Catholic Church. Watch Sharon’s story.

6. Our Last Sermons as Pastors – On the Journey with Matt, Ken and Kenny

There are certain things that only clergy converts to Catholicism can truly relate to — such as planning your last sermon before resigning from ministry. In this episode, Ken and Kenny share how that last sermon played out for each of them, as well as who they were most afraid to tell about their decision to become Catholic, and which pastor convert was most helpful to them personally as they entered the Church. Watch the episode.

5. Purgatory – On the Journey with Matt, Ken, and Kenny

There are a lot of strange and confusing ideas out there about Purgatory, from pop culture, to literature, and more, and many of them come by way of myth, misunderstanding, and even memes.

So what does the Catholic Church actually officially teach about Purgatory? And how does that square with the Scriptures and what they have to say to us about heaven, hell, the nature of salvation, and the universal call to holiness? Watch the series.

4. Catholicism, the Rapture, and the End of the World – CHNetwork Presents

Do Catholics believe in the Rapture? If not, what *do* Catholics believe about the end of the world?

Matt Swaim, Carl Olson, and Dr. Paul Thigpen each came from Evangelical Christian backgrounds where there were lots of theories about how to understand the End Times, from Hal Lindsey to the “Left Behind” series.

Now that they’re Catholic, they reflect on some elements of the history of the dispensationalist theology that helped popularize belief in the Rapture, and look at some of the things that the Catholic Church formally teaches about what will happen when Jesus comes again in glory to judge the living and the dead. Watch the episode.

3. Signposts – Roger Maxson

As a young man, Roger Maxson felt the Lord calling him into ministry, and he began to attend a Baptist seminary so that he could be formed to teach and preach the Gospel and minister to a world desperately in need of Jesus.

However, when debates arose over key doctrines even within his Baptist world, he decided to take a step back and look at Christianity with fresh eyes; not just by studying outside the faith to better understand critiques of it, but also deep into history to hear how faithful Christians had articulated it over time.

What he found was surprising and convicting, and while at first scary, these discoveries eventually helped Roger realize something true and beautiful and good about the kind of Church that Jesus meant to build from the beginning. Watch Roger’s story.

2. A Methodist Pastor Discovers the Immaculate Conception – Shane Page

While Shane Page was studying to become a Methodist pastor, he wanted to understand the incarnation of Jesus as clearly as possible. This led him to do a deep dive into the way that Christ’s humanity and divinity had been discussed throughout Christian history, and he was surprised to discover how much of that conversation reflected on Mary’s being set apart for the unique purpose of bearing the Son of God.

Shane shares how this research led him to discover many more passages in Scripture that connected to Mary’s role, not only in giving birth to Jesus, but in showing us all what it means to be a Christian. Watch Shane’s video.

1. Sola Scriptura 2.0 – On the Journey with Matt, Ken, and Kenny

When Ken Hensley and Kenny Burchard were Protestant pastors, they believed and taught what many Christians profess: the doctrine of sola Scriptura, which holds that the Bible alone is the sole and sufficient rule of faith.

Along with fellow Catholic convert Matt Swaim, they begin a series unpacking the basic conditions and consequences of sola Scriptura, and share the ways that each of them began to question its workability, its historicity, and whether or not it was even a biblically sound doctrine. Watch the series.
