Episode 91 Caro became a Catholic at the age of 18. She shares her feeling of ‘a deep and grounded connection to God’ – and tells us about the dark time when that connection was lost for a while. Caro draws on the prophet Micah to illuminate her journey so far; acting justly, loving tenderly, and now, embarking on a new direction in her life, walking humbly with God.

Episode 90 Today's guest is John Pontifex, Head of Press and Public Affairs at Aid to the Church in Need. John explains how he first heard about the charity in a talk at Sunday Mass more than 20 years ago and how inspired he was. He describes the charity's work keeping our relationship with Christ 'at the centre,' while actively supporting persecuted Christians. He describes being terrified on an early trip to post-civil-war Sudan. Echoing last week's conversation, John explains what life is like in the Holy Land today and how Aid to the Church in Need is supporting Christians and others there.

Episode 89: In Part 2 of the conversation with Mike, he explains how he decided to go from Liverpool to see the Holy Land for himself at a time when there were very few visitors. His experience is brought to life through his vivid descriptions, his reflections on the incarnation, and his reports of good conversations with Palestinian Christians, Jewish and Muslim people. Deciding not to 'look away,' Mike is finding ways for Christian people to support our brothers and sisters in the place where Jesus lived, died and rose from the dead.

Episode 88: Mike has wonderful memories of growing up Catholic in Liverpool, making friends for life in Catholic schools and becoming a doctor. But then, he says, ‘the cracks were showing,’ and ‘things became real.’ Here in Part 1 of this conversation, Mike speaks with raw honesty about his experience of overcoming mental ill health and finding maturity in his faith. Next week, in Part 2, we talk about the present. Mike will share how feeling accountable to his daughters and inspired by his faith, he is responding to the terrible events in the Holy Land.

Episode 87 John Patrick talks about the importance of his roots in a parish in Mossend, Scotland - and in his Irish and Lithuanian heritage. He describes how he and his cousin, Brian, 'fell into' setting up a media company to 'present the Church and the faith...the fullness of truth, faith and reason, but also the joy of being a Catholic.' Ten years on, John Patrick explains what he thinks makes an authentic social media presence for sharing the faith, starting with, 'You have to just not be afraid.'
