When I was about 12 years old, I had my first experience with Pentecostalism. I didn’t know it then, but it was the beginning of a two-decade journey that had me a Pentecostal deacon by 23 and – shockingly – a Catholic by 37.

I’ve often been asked by Evangelical friends how I could possibly become Catholic. And, I’ve been asked by intensely curious Catholics how a trip on Azusa Street could lead to Rome, without constant warnings of “recalculating” and “make U-turn now.”

I’m tackling the story that describes that incredible journey.  Follow along.

Walk with me:

  1. Why not me, God?
  2. The edge of atheism
  3. Thomas wasn’t the only doubter
  4. Brother, are you saved?
  5. Traditions of man
  6. My father’s last goodbye
  7. The Mudroom of Heaven
  8. A Chip on My Shoulder
  9. Time Travel with Jesus
