In an adoration Chapel one day in 1998, as she searched for God during a devastating family crisis, she clearly heard the Lord Jesus call her to become a “music missionary.”

It’s been a wild ride but I suspect it’ll only get wilder. My personal journey with God started in 7th grade and it’s hard to believe how faithful He’s been to me for 15 years. Jesus Christ is Lord.

I thank the Lord that my delayed obedience was not put to waste. He made something very good and waited patiently for me to respond to His call.

I signed with the Atlanta Braves in the Summer of 2021 to continue my dream of being a Major League Baseball player. Obviously sports and faith have a ton of parallels, but my favorite is a saying that one of my coaches in college told me.

My friend had given me a Father Mike Schmitz CD titled “True Worship.” We listened to it on the way to the hearing and that’s what officially started our journey back Home. That’s when we finally knew what we were missing in the Eucharist.

Our journey has taught us that when we lean on our own plans and our own understandings, we are sure to fall. When we surrender our own plans, hopes, and desires completely over to God’s will—everything, in the end, happens for our good—for God loves us, and His plan for us is perfect!

Edward’s words inspired a mission to bring hungry children to school by providing Mary’s Meals. Working with like-minded people and in partnership with some of the world’s poorest communities, Magnus leads a mission that lets children all over the world know they matter.

Two men in their 20s are the unlikely owners and operators of Broken Arrow’s only local Catholic radio station, St. Michael Catholic Radio, 102.9 FM.

In the past few years God has reminded me that His plans are WAY better than mine! From teaching, to working with Ascension Press, to speaking and more.

I’ve learned the importance of surrounding yourself with other faithful individuals, but also the fact that at the end of the day having a personal relationship with Christ is a decision you have to make on your own.

I remember praying-- "I can't do this alone, but You can through me, and so I trust You, Jesus: help me, help others." Reform changed me, and I pray it changes you, too. My faith saved me; I pray it saves you, too.

After many years of preparation and formation, I realized that I am a weak and poor instrument, but nonetheless chosen by God to carry His message of mercy.

I couldn’t imagine what would happen after I recorded this song in a very amateur way. We made it at home, and then we posted it. The mark of 2 million views really got me, and the people’s faith testimonies.

After this moment of grace I had with Our Lady, I began to change everything about my spiritual life. I returned to confession for the first time in 10+ years, I began reading Catholic Books (especially on Mary), I began to pray the Rosary more fervently, and I even joined the Catholic Young Adult group my best friend was part of.

Life with Christ has been my greatest adventure. I have seen amazing miracles before my eyes, watched people encounter Jesus and be healed by Him, and have felt His presence in tangible ways.

I knew that if my desire was to be as close to my Savior as I could this side of heaven then I had to unite myself with His Bride, the Catholic Church.
