How Catholic Radio, C.S. Lewis, and the Saints Led Us Home

Two converts share how Catholic radio, C.S. Lewis, and the saints led them home to the Church - and into parish youth ministry that forms whole families.

Host Darren Sinkule and Deacon Robin Waters welcome Daniel and Noelle Self of St. Jerome Catholic Church (Hewitt/Waco). Daniel traces his path from Assemblies of God to a hunger for liturgy; Noelle shares a varied Protestant upbringing, common misconceptions about Catholics, and how listening to gentle, Scripture-rooted answers on Catholic radio opened her heart. They recall their first Mass, a renewed love for the Eucharist, the communion of saints (including Noelle’s confirmation saint, St. Teresa of Calcutta), and Noelle’s testimony of healing after asking St. Rita’s intercession. Now serving in youth ministry, they explain St. Jerome’s family-based formation that engages parents and teens together in the sacramental life. Follow the show, rate and review, and share.
