Don't miss the 4 part series!
I’m Lori Balderas, I created this podcast for those who are converting, reverting or simply want a FRESH perspective of the Catholic faith to help them to open their hearts and minds to become closer to the love and goodness of Christ.
I converted to Catholicism at the age of 49. It was, by far, the best decision I’ve ever made! I don’t claim to be an expert or Theologian, but what I DO know is that my heart is bursting with love for the Lord and I want others to feel the same way!
I feel impassioned and drawn to Evangelize people by sharing my experiences and transformation that have gotten me where I am today.
I will be sharing my personal conversion story and speaking with others about theirs.
