Welcome to the Jeff Kaven's show where we talk about the Bible, discipleship, and

evangelization putting it all together and living as activated disciples.

This is show 373, how I've changed. Welcome to the show again this week.

Hey, thank you so much for your response in the last couple of weeks talking about my journey in the faith and finding out how many of us are alike and many of you have said

same thing happened to you and that is so encouraging isn't it to know that we are all going

down a road that takes us ultimately to the fullness of faith.

I've been talking for the last couple of weeks about how I left the Catholic Church

and why I left the Catholic Church years ago and then how I came back to the church how I became

Catholic once again. Those were the first two shows show 370 and 371 and I hope that there have some benefit to you.

It might be an interesting story, but more than that I hope that it can give you some

concrete things to think about when you are talking to other people. Hey and if you you're

listening to the show and you're not Catholic right now but searching. My

heart is with you, my prayers are with you, we love you, I love you and I hope that it benefits you in some way.

Today I'm going to talk to you a little bit about how I've changed as a result of it

because it is quite a journey when you look at it growing up Catholic and then having a

born-again experience at 18 you know is so funny because when I was 18 and I gave my

life to the Lord I was so disappointed in myself you know why I was so disappointed in myself.

You know why?

I was disappointed because I had waited until I was 18 and I thought, man, I wish I would have done

this when I was 12 or 13.

And I look back now and say, well, I'm blessed that I was 18 years old when I when I gave my life to the Lord and have I made mistakes? Oh yeah, have I lived a perfect life? No. Am I sinless?

Give me a break.
