Jeff was raised in a good loving Catholic home. When he was 18, his girlfriend led him to a personal relationship with Christ. After high school, he had an argument with his father and the Church and went to Bible College. Upon graduation, he worked in radio but later was ordained as a Protestant minister. After pastoring for about 8 years, Jeff started seeing passages in the Bible that sounded Catholic, on such topics as Apostolic Authority, Tradition, and the Eucharist. When Jeff saw St. John Paul II on TV, at World Youth Day in Denver in 1993, he realized that the Pope was his spiritual Father and his family and he must return home to the Catholic Church.
