Even though the audio is a little rough, DO NOT MISS THIS STORY!

Drugs. Crime. Military. Prison. Mercy.

He was drunk. He was wild. He was sentenced to life with parole possible after 10. But he never expected to spend four decades behind bars.And he never expected to meet Christ in prison.

Recorded in Boise at the Salt & Light Radio Studios, this testimony has the weight of the Shawshank Redemption — but with a Catholic twist:

A life spared.

A chapel next door.

A Church rediscovered.

Yes, the audio’s a little rough. Maybe it was spiritual warfare. But it’s clear enough.And what you’ll hear?It’s real. It’s powerful. It’s unforgettable.

Raised in a loosely Christian home, he bounced between megachurch services and Lutheran daycare but never felt spiritually grounded. At just 13, he battled suicidaI thoughts, turning to science for answers—and eventually adopting a militant atheist worldview.But everything changed when he picked up a 1952 King James Bible no one wanted. Intending to disprove Scripture, he found something unexpected: order, truth, and a God who knew him intimately. Leviticus 26 and a simple diet change became his "Eureka moments."Later, in a moment of profound grace, his wife smelled lilies as she prayed the Rosary. “Without a doubt, it was Mary,” he recalled. This is a story of transformation, healing, and the undeniable power of God’s mercy.His life has never been the same—and neither will yours after hearing this testimony.🙏 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share if this story moved you.📿 Need hope?

Friends, do not miss this episode. In its entirety. ---Michele Gower was raised in a loving, middle-class family in Sydney, Australia. Though baptized in the Church of England, religion played little role in her early life. Her parents were kind, community-oriented people but had no strong religious beliefs. As a teenager, she chased popularity, partied on weekends, dabbled in light drugs, and barely got by in school. Yet she remained active in sports, volunteered, and was known as a loyal friend. At 17, she met Rohan—a respectful, calm young man whose peaceful nature stood out. The following year, her life shattered when her father died suddenly of a heart attack the morning after her graduation. From that moment, she rejected the idea of a loving God, asking bitterly, “What kind of God would take a father from his daughter on her graduation day?”As adulthood unfolded, she and Rohan got married, had four children, and settled into a life on the Central Coast. Though she had no faith, she supported the decision to send their children to Catholic school. Her husband had been raised Catholic, and she assumed he could guide them spiritually. Over time, she began to feel strangely moved during school Masses. Often, she would sit in church and cry without understanding why. While she appreciated the values of kindness and service taught in the Catholic school, she was simultaneously diving deeper into New Age spirituality—tarot, clairvoyants, energy healing, and a fascination with the supernatural. The more she pursued these practices, the more her connection to reality began to fray.Eventually, she experienced a complete breakdown. Voices, paranoia, terrifying visions, and a crushing emptiness took over her mind. Admitted to a mental health facility, she was heavily medicated and nearly unrecognizable to her loved ones. But one day, sitting alone by a locked glass door, she felt an overwhelming warmth fill her chest—a powerful, soul-filling explosion of light. In that moment, she heard a message in her heart: “Convert to the Catholic Faith, and you and your family will be saved.” Though she didn’t fully understand it, that moment marked a turning point. She began to believe that God was real—and that He was reaching out to her in mercy.The weeks leading up to her reception into the Church were filled with intense spiritual battles. Demonic attacks, confusion, and despair tried to derail her. But friends who understood the dangers of the occult prayed with her, taught her to say the Rosary, and reminded her that God never lets go of His children. Through Confession and the Eucharist, she began to heal. The torment in her mind lifted, layer by layer. She experienced true peace for the first time in her life—peace that surpassed all understanding. Slowly, the angry, obsessive, controlling version of herself faded, replaced by someone more joyful, grounded, and free...#CatholicConversion #ExNewAge #JesusSavedMe #SpiritualWarfare #DeliveredFromDarkness #FromNewAgeToJesus #CatholicTestimony #OccultToChrist #EucharisticHealing #LeavingTheOccult #ChristianTestimony #FreedomInChrist #Catholic #CatholicFaithJourney #AmazingGrace▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

He drifted from the Church in high school, trapped in the cycle of sin and shame. For years, confession felt empty—until one powerful moment changed everything.This is the story of how a Protestant girlfriend’s love of Scripture led him back to the beauty of the Eucharist, the freedom of honest confession, and the truth of John 6: “My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.”With echoes of Thomas Rhett’s “Death Row,” this testimony is a raw reminder that God meets us even in our lowest places—and freedom begins when we finally tell the truth.▶Sean's YT viral video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxywfVSlq2Y🙏 “Repent and believe in the Gospel.”🕊️ “Jesus gave us the Church.”▶️ Watch this powerful journey from sin to grace—where love, Scripture, and the Eucharist collide.#CatholicConversion #John6 #Testimony #Revert #FreedomInChrist #Confession #Catholic #Protestant #Truth▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

Raised in a strict King James-only, Independent Fundamental Baptist household and trained in Christian apologetics, this Southern Baptist pastor was taught that Catholicism was not just wrong—it was dangerous. But everything began to shift when he took his own advice: go to the source.What started as an effort to refute Catholic doctrine turned into a life-changing encounter with the truth of the Eucharist, the Sacraments, the early Church, and the beauty of the Mass.“I didn’t like it. I didn’t want it to be true. But I couldn’t deny it anymore.”From “Baptism now saves you” to the testimony of the Saints, this is the gripping story of a man who lost everything—his ministry, his comfort zone, his certainty—and found the fullness of truth.🙏 Watch as he shares how Scripture, study, and the surprising power of the Mass changed his life forever.#Catholic #Protestant #testimony #CatholicConvert #FormerBaptistPastor #WhyImCatholic #ChristianApologetics #BaptismRegenerates #KJVOnly #FromFundamentalistToCatholic #TheMassChangedMe #CatholicTruth ▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.
