I was grateful to be invited by Kevin Raymond to share my journey of faith on his podcast, My Catholic Story.
Kevin has created something meaningful by giving ordinary people an opportunity to share how God has worked in their lives. I’m thankful he made room for my story.
My path to the Catholic Church wasn’t a straight one. It began with a Latter-day Saint upbringing and continued through years of questions, studying Scripture, personal struggles, and unexpected experiences that gradually drew me toward Catholicism.
On February 8, 2026, I was received into the Catholic Church.
I have tremendous gratitude for the faith that shaped my childhood, for the people who have patiently walked alongside me, and for the grace of God, which continues to teach me how much I have yet to learn.
I’m thankful to Kevin for a thoughtful conversation and for the work he’s doing to share these personal stories.
If you’re interested, I hope you’ll take a little time to listen.
