Hope Stories with Sr. Josephine Garrett, CSFN Following the Voice of the Father: An Interview with Lisa Wheeler
In this moving episode of Hope Stories with Sister Josephine, Catholic media pioneer Lisa Wheeler, founder of Carmel Communications in Tyler, Texas, opens her heart about faith, family, and finding God again after walking away from the Church.
Lisa shares her Emmaus moment in Washington, D.C., where a mysterious voice and a miraculous experience at Mass shattered years of spiritual distance. She speaks candidly about adoption, infertility, and the painful search for a faithful Father, both earthly and divine.
Her story weaves through her reversion to the Catholic faith, her work promoting evangelization through film and media (The Passion of the Christ), her devotion to Pope St. John Paul II, and the creation of Veritatis Splendor, an intentional Catholic community born out of the trials of the pandemic.
Together, Sister Josephine and Lisa explore what it means to hurt in the Church and still remain faithful, discovering that true healing comes through surrender, community, and the steadfast love of God the Father.
