In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Seth sits down with Art Martinez to discuss his powerful journey from growing up Catholic to developing a personal and life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Art shares how he drifted away from church during his college years while pursuing success, relationships, and personal goals, only to discover that something was still missing.
