This week’s episode of The Journey Home was a great conversation with Santonio Hill, who was a lukewarm Catholic chasing a football career until a priest asked him a crucial question.
On a new episode of Deep in Christ, JonMarc Grodi discussed the value of imitating the virtues of the saints.
In the latest Insights video, Sam Guzman talked about why Catholic and Protestant church buildings look different.

A member whose interest in Catholicism has estranged them from loved ones, another member who’s struggling with health difficulties as they try to enter the Church, and all our members who are participating in their first Lent this year — these are just a few of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
