The Journey Home
Marcus Grodi, himself a convert and former pastor in the Presbyterian church, hosts this EWTN program where every week he brings on a guest for an in-depth one-on-one interview to hear their stories of conversion to the Catholic Faith. The guests come from various backgrounds: Christian and Non-Christian, fallen away Catholics who came back to the Faith, agnostics, atheists, and others. The discussion often centers on the reasons that made the guest abandon their former convictions or way of life and enter the Catholic Church. The show is live and features questions via phone calls and emails from viewers in the second half of the show. Every first Monday (in the first three seasons - every first Friday) is an Open-line version of the program often featuring a life-long catholic where Marcus and the guest dedicate the entire hour to answering questions from the viewers.
