Saying yes to Jesus
These are the stories that create Yes Catholic.
Elliott Moore
I did not expect to become Catholic and only by the Grace of God have I experienced His perfect plan working itself out in my life.
Vanessa Arianto
When I started university, I really wanted to find a Catholic community, which was what first drew me to Catholic Christian Outreach.
Jackson Kiser
I think there will be a point in everyone’s life where they will realize how unfulfilling the world is. Once you discover that something is missing, you must go out. Over time, you must abandon the life you had in pursuance of the life you want or feel called to live.
Fr. Isaac Longworth
Currently I am serving as the Vocations Director for my community, as well as hosting a podcast on the lives of the saints called “Heroes of the Faith”. I want to see the Catholic Church become explosively alive, and am passionate about what I see God doing to make that happen!
Audrey Mapuyan
I don’t have to earn His love. I get to live from it. And the more I receive His love, the more I can love others, not with my own strength, but with His.
Carolina G. de Souza
I was raised Catholic. REALLY Catholic. As a miracle baby, I grew up hearing how blessed I was to have God at work in my life before I was even born.
John Edwards
For most of my life, I believed I had to prove that I was enough. I chased success, approval, and anything that might fill the emptiness inside me.
Josh Blakesley
Josh Blakesley believes his calling is to make music that moves people into prayer and action. Since the release of his debut album in 2003, he has become a mainstay in Catholic Christian music as an artist, composer, producer, and worship leader.
Nico Zhomwa
I grew up Catholic in Zimbabwe, where I spent the first 24 years of my life. My parents would always remind us, “Remember who you belong to.” I knew they meant Jesus, but for a long time, I was mostly coasting in my faith.
Brooke Joiner
I vividly remember the day Matteo and I quit our jobs. Our fourth baby was about a month old and we had just sold our house. We walked into the office where we worked together knowing exactly what we had to say.
John Sansone
I was raised Catholic, from a large Catholic family in St. Louis MO, and was taught at an early age how important faith was.
Daniel Hussem
Now as a husband, a father of 3, and co-founder of SacredSpark, I have not only surrendered to following Jesus and His Church, I have made it my daily mission to help build up the Church through bringing people together in community and holy, virtuous relationships.
Adeline Johanna
Like a lot of cradle Catholics, going to Mass every Sunday was just part of my life. I went to Sunday school, Catholic retreats, and by God’s grace, I never really walked away from the faith, but for a long time, I didn’t have a personal relationship with Jesus.
Paul Rector
God never abandoned me. Instead, He led me on a journey to rediscover Him, myself, and fall into an alignment with His will. I said “yes” and this is my story. One step, one day, and one yes at a time all for His will and glory.
Michael Bell
Though I am permanently blind in my left eye, I’ve been able to see the way that God redeems our suffering. All we have to do is give it to Him and trust in His timing. Nothing given to God is ever wasted.
Mackenzie Hunter
At first it was just a hobby. But that summer, while I was home with more free time, I began investing in it. I cleaned up the design, bought the domain acaffeinatedcatholic.com, and started writing more regularly, sharing posts on my personal Instagram and sending people to the full version on my website.
Eve Rosemary
In September 2019, I attended a high school retreat, not knowing it would change everything. For the first time in my life, I didn’t just know about God, I felt the Father’s love personally. That moment rewrote the direction of my life.
