Long-time parishioner Bonnie Simandle joined JoDee and our guest co-host, Tom Ponchak, to share her path towards Christ. At an early age, she learned quickly how much Jesus loved her in Sunday School but was an Evangelical. Then Jesus slowly led her to the Catholic faith while testing her in the desert and placing the right people in her life. She is an amazing example of choosing faith instead of fear.
Have you been living in fear or trusting in Jesus?
