Sherry Anne Weddell, the pioneering American Catholic evangeliser, joins Dr Gavin Ashenden for the 38th episode of “Merely Catholic”, the podcast series for The Catholic Herald, to discuss the renewal of the Catholic Church in an age of unbelief.

Weddell, a convert to the faith from a Southern Baptist background, is co-founder and co-director of the Catherine of Siena Institute and the creator of the first charism-discernment process designed for Catholics. She trains and leads an international team of teachers who have worked with more than 100,000 ordained, religious and lay Catholics in more than 120 dioceses in five continents and one of her books, Forming Intentional Disciples, has sold more than 100,000 copies.

She talks to Dr Ashenden about her journey of faith, the New Evangelisation and what the Church in the West must do to recover its missionary zeal.
