He LEFT the church TWICE, and came back BOTH times - Trust in God podcast episode 17
Have you ever felt like your faith story wasn't "dramatic" enough? Or have you found yourself drifting away from the Church, wondering if you'd ever find your way back? In this powerful and honest episode of the Trusting God Podcast, co-host Grant shares his personal testimony.Raised as a cradle Catholic, Grant walks us through his unique journey: from a childhood rooted in the sacraments to years spent in the Baptist church where he developed a deep love for Scripture. He shares his experiences with various Protestant denominations, his calling into full-time music ministry, and the pivotal moment—seeing a friend's First Communion photos—that sparked a 12-year journey back home to the Catholic Church.This episode is a testament to the reality of "continuous conversion" and the welcoming, prodigal-son embrace of the Church. It's a must-listen for anyone who has been away, for those who feel "lukewarm," and for everyone who needs a reminder that God is always working to draw us closer to Himself, one step at a time.Timestamps (YouTube Chapters):00:00:06 - God's Miracles in the "Mundane"08:04:19 - Raised Catholic: The Grace of a Christian Home19:21:15 - The Subtle Sin of Self-Righteousness21:45:02 - My First Day at a Baptist Church25:04:07 - What Catholics Can Learn from a Baptist Love for the Bible33:08:10 - Exploring Other Denominations38:11:04 - The Call Back to Mass in College40:44:23 - The First Communion Photo That Changed Everything49:28:17 - What It's REALLY Like to Come Back to the Catholic Church53:36:23 - You Are Only One Confession Away From HomeFor more information about St. Michael the Archangel Pastorate, visit:🌐 Website: https://stmichaelpastorate.org/📱 Facebook (St. Augustine, Rensselaer): https://www.facebook.com/staugustinerensselaer📱 Facebook (Sacred Heart, Remington): https://www.facebook.com/sacredheartremington📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stmichaelpastorate/🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@st.michaelthearchangelpast999🟣 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trust-in-god-podcast/id1845406973 🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7f6OQsJ3gD8mNAZqMyMLaW?si=312994efcd894cff We’re excited to grow with you!
