Eben Emerson, a former Church of Christ minister and missionary, was originally on The Journey Home in 2011.
In the decade and a half since that, Eben has some powerful insights to share about common mistakes new converts make, many of which are lessons he himself learned the hard way.
Eben's experience is hopefully a great encouragement to those of you who are new Catholics, and trying to take the steps to grow in your faith, maintain your relationships, and help loved ones understand your journey.
