What happens when you search through different religions, Protestant denominations, and New Age spirituality in an attempt to find the truth—only to discover that what you've been searching for has been in the Catholic Church all along?In this episode of The Lighten Up Podcast, Hannah Crews sits down with Catholic content creator Kristen Harris of A Sacred Faith to hear her powerful Catholic conversion story. Kristen's journey took her from Jehovah's Witness influences and Protestant churches to Buddhism, New Age spirituality, and tarot reading. But an unexpected dream of the Blessed Mother would change the direction of her life and lead her back to Jesus Christ—and eventually to the Catholic Church.Kristen shares how she became involved in tarot and New Age practices, what led her to walk away from that world, and how her encounter with Mary set her on a path toward Catholicism. She also opens up about the struggles and questions she faced along the way, including her reservations about the Catholic Church, the scandals involving clergy, and what ultimately convinced her that the Catholic Church is the fullness of the Christian faith.From Bible in a Year with Father Mike Schmitz to entering OCIA, discovering the beauty of the sacraments, and finding the truth in the Eucharist, Kristen's story is a powerful reminder that God never stops pursuing us.️ IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) The Origin of A Sacred Faith(05:02) Kristen’s Faith Background: From Jehovah’s Witnesses to Baptist(08:07) Searching for Community in Non-Denominational Churches(10:10) Leaving Christianity for New Age Spirituality(13:52) Getting Involved in Tarot Reading and Its Physical Effects(17:19) How a Dream of Mary Changed Everything(21:39) Returning to Protestant Christianity(23:51) Searching for a Church Between Protestantism and Catholicism(26:19) Bible in a Year and the OCIA Rollercoaster(31:25) Almost Giving Up on Becoming Catholic(34:27) Finding Her Way Back to OCIA and Confirmation(37:46) Overcoming Reservations About Joining the Catholic Church(40:13) Discussing Abuse and Scandals in the Catholic Church(45:11) How Friends and Family Reacted to Her Conversion(51:51) What Finally Convinced Kristen the Catholic Church Is True(56:25) How Catholicism Makes Scripture Tangible(01:01:51) How God Is Using Kristen’s Catholic Testimony(01:06:43) Where to Find Kristen Harris FOLLOW The Lighten Up Podcast for more conversations about the Catholic faith, Church history, Scripture, and the questions Christians are asking.
