In this episode I will discuss various Hang Ups that I still have when reconciling confession coming from a Protestant background. The sacrament is beautiful and brings with it a ton of graces, however, this is a hurdle that I continue to have to jump over due to Protestants having a different point of view on this. In this episode I quoted an answer from, https://www.catholic.com/, that refers to the Biblical origins of confession. As always, if you have any questions about this sacrament, please speak with a priest. I am not an expert in the area of confession either, it's a journey for me to take when I do receive this sacrament. If you're looking for a sign to go to confession, here you go!

Challenges for the week:

*Go to confession

*Pray for priests, current and future

In this episode I emotionally explain the big reason I become Catholic. I read the following scriptures: John, Chapter 6 versus 53-58. Remember, Jesus LOVES you, not LOVED...there is no past tense in this. He LOVES you and every time you receive the Eucharist, that is just one more sign of His love for you, for me, for everyone that chooses it.

On today's episode you will hear the middle part of my faith journey. I really fell away from the faith in college, lived a worldly life, but also had a few "God winks" along the way.
