Earlier this year I had a chance to spend a couple days with my friends at the \u201cComing Home Network\u201d down in Ohio. If you\u2019re not familiar with the organization, they try to offer support to people who are struggling with joining the Catholic Church. They focus primarily on pastors. They were a support to me when I was thinking about leaving protestant ministry and becoming Catholic. I often re-read the hand-written cards I got in the mail during this season composed by one of their prayer partners. Often times it was these small tokens of support that helped me overcome the fear and continue to press on in the way I felt God was Calling me. It was great spending time down with them. We recorded an episode for the program \u201cThe journey Home\u201d while I was down there. Take a look! I tell a little bit of my story in the video. I hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n
