Saying yes to Jesus
These are the stories that create Yes Catholic.
Jesse & Erin Benson
He healed us and not only made our family whole, but also completely renewed. He gave us all and more than what we asked for, and it was that trustful surrender, perseverance, and hope in Him that saved our family.
Matthew Chicoine
So say “yes” to God. Even if your voice trembles. Even if all you can offer is your broken heart. That’s more than enough.
Michael Sloan
“Michael, you are my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.” Hearing those words and being struck with this love, a love that I had been craving and looking for my whole life, I could not help but decide on a relationship with God, inviting Him to be the center of my life.
Mary Lenaburg
I’m Mary Lenaburg—Catholic author, speaker, wife of 37 years, mama to two (one here, one in heaven), and living proof that God can redeem absolutely anything.
Nikki D’Souza
Sometimes the most powerful yeses are the quiet ones—the ones that change you from the inside out.
Gary Friesen
I’ve never felt this amount of liberation and peace and love from Jesus ever before in my life. I could not believe it.
Bryan Frias
Aside from being the head of my domestic church, I feel that God has called me to serve Him by bringing light to this - that you can be a provider and still uphold “tradition” and our Catholic faith even if you’re a SAHD.
Connor McLaughlin
Now I have a new obsession: helping people find their own ”Practical Sainthood” and becoming who God made them to be.
Joelle Maryn
By the grace of God, my message of God’s healing love has now reached millions of people around the world. I’m an Actress, TV Host, Speaker and author for Christ. I’m playing the role of Our Lady in an upcoming film, “The New Manna” and my new book “Become the Fire” is finally out on Amazon. All glory to God!
Joey Pontarelli
It’s beautiful to see God continue to use my brokenness to help people like me. It reminds me of what St. Augustine said: “In my deepest wound I saw your glory, and it astounded me.”
Theresa Ambat
When I was a kid I took much joy in drawing comic books about dreams I had, writing songs on my toy guitar, starting silly clubs for my friends to join, and selling candy and handmade bracelets to kids in my neighborhood.
Sam Nunnally
Raised as an evangelical in South Georgia, all I ever wanted to do was serve God in the church. I felt that calling as a teenager and focused my life around fulfilling that calling.
Megan Turland
Hi, I’m Megan Turland and I am a disciple, wife, mother of four, author, speaker and mentor on a mission to help others grow, flourish and become who God created them to be.
Zach Zaldivar
I was raised the third of four boys in a small town in Minnesota, with a mother who was determined to keep her sons Catholic, which translated to going to a Catholic grade school and mass attendance each weekend.
Jennifer Nelson
This can't just be “my” story. Without the fiat of others, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Relics of St. Gianna wouldn't have happened. God’s hand was in it all.
Fr. Matt Wheeler
I grew up in Minnetonka, MN and I’m the middle of five children. My wonderful parents planted many seeds in simple and ordinary ways, and I have no doubt my priestly vocation is mostly due to their love and deep faith.
Ryan O’Hara
First, I began a 25 year career serving college students as a Catholic Campus Minister at University of Missouri where I met and married my wife, Jill. We believed God brought us together to be on mission and to bring as many souls to Jesus as possible.
Marcellino D’Ambrosio
Born the son of a Ph.D. historian and homeschooled for most of my childhood, I was fortunate to grow up steeped in the story of humankind. When I wasn’t drawing, reading, or inventing, I was asking questions.
