In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by David Douglas, President of the St. Therese Institute of Faith and Mission, to tell us his long, winding, and incredibly compelling faith journey.

It begins, for David, in a socialist commune, the son of a prominent bluegrass musician, David's parents had a radical conversion to Evangelical Christianity through the Jesus People movement in the 1980's which would forever shape the trajectory of David's faith life – and this would only be the beginning.

Through overseas missionary work, life on nearly every continent on the globe, and through deep experiences of charismatic, evangelical, and biblical faith David's journey culminated, in a way, with his decision to join the Catholic Church with his family – and it's only continued from there!

It's a remarkable story, told by a remarkable storyteller, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it!
