The Cordial Catholic

284: She Forgot She Was Catholic – But God Didn't! (w/ Avery Reukauf)


Listen Later

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Avery Reukauf, a Catholic convert with one of the most incredible conversion stories you'll ever hear!

From the untimely death of her mother following a radical decision to be baptized to her decision to join the military and her deployment to Iraq to her whirlwind marriage and the birth of her children to miracle upon miracle as Avery and her husband move from denomination to denomination in fervent pursuit of Christ – you'll be on the absolute edge of your seat listening to this faith journey which even includes an insane twist ending: that Avery was Catholic almost all along! 

Friends, I can't encourage you enough to listen to and share this episode because there's so much in here that I can't even describe. 

In the end, it's the story of how through the graces of baptism, God pursues those that He wants for His own – and, ultimately, that's all of us! 

Wow. What a story.
