**Show Note**

To be Catholic is to transcend any political party. No political party on either end of the aisle will ever fully represent God's perfect love for His people, as Scripture and the Church's teachings do for us. This is especially true because political parties and what they stand for can change as the centuries change. As Catholics we are called to participate fully in society and to be a witness to Christ in all that we do -- to serve, to love, to look out for those in need/the vulnerable, to carry our cross, to lead others to Christ. Therefore, we are are called as Catholics to individually discern with God and to vote according to our moral conscience, based on the teachings of the Church and what God has revealed for us in Scripture. To read more about this: 

Read the section on this of the Catechism of the Catholic Church: http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s1c2a2.htm

*SHOW NOTE: Catechism Clip*  

"Outside the Church there is no salvation"  

(846) How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers?

Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body:  Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door.   

Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.    

(847) This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church:  Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation.   

(848) "Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men."  

If you wish to learn more about this topic that Trapper mentioned, check out the full section of the Catechism here: http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p123a9p3.htm

BONUS EPISODE: All About Confession!

BONUS EPISODE: All About Confession!

Hi, friend! 

This past week our livestream guest had to reschedule at the last minute, so we do not have a new conversion story for you today. However, I wanted to share one of our bonus episodes that Branches of the Vine members (Patrons) have access to as a special gift to you as a listener! If you sign up to support this mission, you will receive a new bonus episode every month, in addition to lots of fun gifts from the shop and access to all past bonus episodes.

You can join the Branches of the Vine here: https://www.patreon.com/togrowgood

This sample bonus episode from October is all about Confession. What it is, its incredible power, and how it has changed my life. I also share how I was skeptical about Confession for many years, and how I used to believe all of the lies the world tells you about it -- hook, line, and sinker! 

Hope you enjoy this fun change up this week!

Our next conversion story will take place LIVE on YouTube tomorrow [Wednesday, March 23] at 7PM ET. Molly Valenta will be sharing her story from New Age to Catholic. Cannot wait. 

Join us LIVE and ask a question at the end during the Q&A! If you can't catch it live, no worries. It will be uploaded right here next Tuesday.

[Church of Christ to Catholic]

Today we have the gift of hearing the conversion story of Chanea Heard, as she shares how she went from Non-Denominational/Church of Christ to Catholic.   

About Chanea and Her Story:
I converted to Catholicism from a Non-Denom/ Church of Christ background in early 2021.  I have a strong devotion to the Holy Family. Our Lady led me to do a consecration to her early 2020 and then introduced me to her spouse later that year and I ended up doing the consecration to St Joseph in late 2020. I’m currently discerning religious life and discovering God’s love for me as he is healing wounds that have been buried for a long time.

About Ginny & Her Story:   
Wife of 8 years, mother of 3 (baby coming in April!), have served in some form of ministry for 12+ years. Raised Catholic but didn't take ownership of my faith until a life-threatening accident woke me up at the age of 20 and brought me to ask questions / search for the answers. Became a FOCUS missionary after college, then transitioned into youth ministry and have served at the same parish for 9 years. I also work part-time for Catholify and part-time as a wedding videographer with my husband.

A Seed Planted In A Dollar Tree ft. Cheryl Jeffrey

[New Age to Catholic]

WATCH on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuTCO1YDOcg


Today we have the incredible gift of hearing the truly miraculous story of personal encounter and conversion from Cheryl Jeffrey.

Cheryl comes from a Catholic family, but drifted away from practicing the faith early on in her life. She was drawn to New Age practices. Eventually, she got heavily involved in a “healing” form of “therapy” that draws power from spiritual and "energy" forces in order to achieve “inner healing” for patients. This practice opened the door to inviting unclean spirits into her life. What happened next is truly remarkable. 

A wild Holy Spirit encounter in a Dollar Tree, a miraculous physical healing at a Traditional Latin Mass and deep transformative encounters with God are all part of Cheryl's story. She was eventually led home to the fullness of truth in the Catholic Church. I’m truly so humbled to get to share this amazing story of God at work with you today. God is good.

Will you share this episode with one person in your life who you feel a nudge to share it with? Ask the Holy Spirit who in your life may like to hear this journey, and send away.


This is the last conversion story of Season 2! 

Season 3 will begin on January 18th. Please pray for me as I discern where God is leading this. If you wish to support this mission and help it to grow, please visit patreon.com/togrowgood to join the Branches of the Vine. If we reach 50 supporters by January, I can release a new conversion story every week instead of every other. Your support will allow us to say ‘yes’ to God’s call on my heart to build, develop, create and expand this ministry. Thank you so much in advance for your support.

A Seed Planted In 3 Days ft. Joanna Ojeda

In today’s episode Joanna Ojeda shares her vulnerable and powerful story of conversion and encounter with God. Joanna grew up Catholic, but as she grew older she spent time away from practicing the faith of her childhood. It wasn’t until she began to feel a calling on her heart to come back to youth ministry that things began to change. Joanna shares how her surface-level faith developed into a deep and unshakable trust in God as she suffered through a series of profoundly difficult life challenges, including the process of obtaining an Annulment through the Catholic Church. Incredible Holy Spirit nudges and miraculous encounters are at every turn in Joanna’s story of deeper conversion into the truths of the faith and her relationship with Christ.
