Episode 19: Former Baptist/Assembly of God/Nazarene Chris Padgett
Wednesday Nov 04, 2015
Wednesday Nov 04, 2015
Chris Padgett knew the Lord and even traveled the country using his musical talents to lead others in worship. He never expected to find Christ in the Catholic Church. What was one of his biggest obstacles? Lukewarm (to room temperature) Catholics. He has since discovered vibrant Catholics and he continues to encourage others in their faith through music, writing, and speaking.
Brief Show Notes:
Chris Padgett's most recent book is Holy Marriage, Happy Marriage. (Find it on my blog at Our Catholic Way.)

Colleen Mitchell and St. Bryce Missions on The Catholic Foodie Show
Monday Nov 02, 2015
Monday Nov 02, 2015
I’m joined by my friend Colleen Mitchell of St. Bryce Missions today. We talk about the missionary work that Colleen does together with her husband Greg and their five sons. And we’ll be talking about this missionary work within the context of the call to hospitality. God might not be calling me and you to live a missionary’s life with our families in Costa Rica or Tanzania, but God does call us to welcome him present in those we meet in our daily lives. Whether it’s our spouse, our children or their friends, co-workers, or the guy or gal standing next to us in the grocery line, God is present and calls us to encounter Him with open hearts and open hands.

Episode 17: Former Lutheran, Bonnie Way
Thursday Oct 22, 2015
Thursday Oct 22, 2015
Bonnie Way grew up a Lutheran. She was homeschooled to help preserve her faith. She attended a Lutheran University in Canada. While she had friends from many different faith backgrounds, it was a safe bet she wasn't planning to leave her Lutheran roots. But God had other plans when a friend in seminary discerning the priesthood slowly opened her eyes to the teachings of the Catholic Church. A lonely time in Australia when it was just her and God opened her heart to the idea of a future with her, God, the Catholic Church...and a husband.
Brief Show Notes:
History of Martin Luther
An overview of indulgences.
Get to know Bonnie better at her Koala Mom website!
Correction: Kim says Bonnie's website is koalamom.com. It is thekoalamom.com.

Episode 16: Former Atheist, Deacon Patrick Lappert, Part II
Friday Oct 16, 2015
Friday Oct 16, 2015
What do arrogance, the Bible, the Holy Spirit, Christian radio, and the Catholic Church all have in common? They're all an integral part of Deacon Lappert's faith journey that ultimately lead him into the Catholic Church. I'm so thankful for his witness! If you are too, please leave a comment of appreciation for what the Lord has done in his life. It truly is a story of God's mercy and grace, which He extends to all of us.

Episode 15: Former Atheist, Deacon Patrick Lappert, Part I
Thursday Oct 15, 2015
Thursday Oct 15, 2015
Deacon Patrick Lappert lost the love he once had for the God he prayed to as a young boy. Life's pain and circumstances pushed him away from the things of Heaven, yet interestingly it would be the difficulties and emptiness in life that would draw him back, but this time to a much deeper faith than he had never known.
The journey he embarked on was a long one, full of numerous successes that most men envy and miracles that most people never experience. While God was orchestrating his life, He never received the credit. What would it take to get this Navy aviator and surgeon's attention? Listen to his journey.

Episode 13: Our Catholic Way
Friday Oct 02, 2015
Friday Oct 02, 2015
Former Mennonite, Krista Cole, was brought up in a happy, Christian, Norman Rockwell-like home. She spent much of her time in church and learning scripture, but always felt something was missing. It would take overcoming a difficult marriage and the pain of infertility before the road she found herself on would lead her home to the Roman Catholic Church. Her family is now larger than she ever imagined! May you discover the contentment Krista has found.

Patrice Lappert was born in Philadelphia into a large Catholic family and was raised in the faith during a time when there was a parish on every street corner. But over the years she drifted away from Christ and all that she knew like so many do in their teens and early twenties.
Thankfully, motherhood stirred within her a desire to reconnect with her faith, and today she works tirelessly to ensure others never lose what is most important in this life. Thank you for listening to her story!
Brief Show Notes:
-- Looking back she says she was a cultural Catholic.
-- It's helpful to develop a love for Mary when you understand her as the Ark of the New Covenant.
-- Books and authors Patrice recommends:

Confessions of a Mega Church Pastor, Allen Hunt
Appointment with God, Fr. Michael Scanlan
Catholicism video series, Fr. Robert Barron

Former Nazarene Tim Cooper spent many a day at church while growing up. He shares that he is blessed to have been raised in a family devoted to Christ. His faith remained solid, but skepticism seeped in when he began to question the fairness of Hell. He never completely fell away and continued to be involved in men's Bible studies, however many years would pass before he'd take a serious look at the Catholic Church. He is now on fire for his faith and is happy to share it with everyone! I hope you enjoy Part I of his story.
Brief Show Notes:
-- Catholic teaching on Hell.
-- Tim mentions his involvement in Bible Study Fellowship and Promise Keepers.
-- The Bible Answer Man, Hank Hanegraaff's, recognition of the Catholic Church as a true church during one of his radio programs caused Tim to consider the Catholic Church's claims.
-- Former Presbyterian minister Dr. Scott Hahn's book Rome Sweet Home helped Tim during a disappointing RCIA experience.
-- Sola Scriptura is Latin for by Scripture Alone.
-- Sola Fide is Latin for by Faith Alone.
