This week’s Journey Home episode was with former Evangelical Greg Graham, who shared how discovering liturgy helped lead him to the Catholic Church.

We released a new Insights video with Fr. Jurgen Liias, who shared how his liberal view of Scripture as an Anglican priest was transformed as he made his way into the Catholic Church.

And on the latest Deep in Scripture podcast, Marcus Grodi and Mike Peters looked at 2 Thessalonians 2:15 and Paul’s discussion of the importance of tradition.

A cradle Catholic considering a return to the sacraments after decades away from the Church, a man whose own experience of abuse is raising more questions for him as he explores the Church, and all of our members who’ve begin RCIA classes this Fall – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for and working with this month at The Coming Home Network International.
