Chris was reared in a Christian home. He always had a sense of Christ being near him. Growing up he had many Catholic friends and he never had any anti-Catholic prejudices. He attended Oral Roberts University. After meeting his Catholic future wife and believing that the family should have one faith he joined the Catholic Church. In many ways, though, he was still a Protestant in the Catholic Church, because he didn’t accept several Catholic teachings, especially about Mary. His heart turned toward Mary after he read a book about many of the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary throughout history. Chris is President of the Board of Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Radio.
