@flosetflammaApr 1, 2026The most Pagan thing a Pagan can do
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, My name is Jewel Wilson. I'm 27 and live in Southeastern Ohio. I grew up in a Christian, but not practicing Christian household. My mom was raised Lutheran and my dad Protestant. The most we would go to church is for Easter, Christmas or funerals. In my teenage years, I decided to be Pagan, specifically a Hellenistic Pagan (Worship of the Greek gods) I had a friend who was Pagan, and we were pretty close. Eventually, our friendship fell apart. I went into a deep depression over many things in my life. I felt worthless, had experienced sexual abuse and struggled with self-harm for many years. In 2024, I opened up to a Catholic friend and she invited me to Mass, since it helped her a lot. I decided to give it a try. I actually got worse for a while until I was on the verge of taking my life and made a desperate plea to God to save my life, and in return I would give Him whatever was good in me He made. I had a mystical encounter with Christ that Mass that left me with a deep sense of His love for me. He asked me to follow Him. I then did the most Pagan thing a Pagan could do... Convert to Christianity. That very day I threw out ALL of my occult possessions and pursued OCIA. I was baptized, confirmed and made my first communion last Easter Vigil. I couldn't be more happier than I am now (unless I was in Heaven) I thank God He saved my life that one fateful Sunday. Remember Christs' love for you, and have a lovely Holy week!
@aubreykernMar 22, 2026Non Denominational ➜ Catholic
Hi, I’m Aubrey. I’m 26 and currently converting from non-denominational Christianity to Catholicism this Easter. I’ve gotten a lot of questions, “Why Catholic?” “What changed?” “Aren’t you leaving what you believed?” I get it, I had the same questions. I didn’t grow up religious and actually considered myself atheist until 2018, when I had a radical encounter with Jesus during one of the darkest moments of my life. It changed everything. I fell in love with Him. From there, I entered the non-denominational world. I learned Scripture, prayer, and became deeply involved in church, leading, serving, and building community. But over time… something started to feel off. I would walk into church hungry for God, and leave feeling empty. Worship started to feel more emotional than reverent, like we were striving instead of resting in Him. What I didn’t realize then was that I was longing for something deeper, reverence, mystery, and the true presence of Jesus. Not a better experience, but Truth. In October, I quietly joined OCIA out of pride to prove Catholicism wrong. I started attending Mass. I didn’t tell many people. I just listened, learned, and prayed. And slowly, I fell in love with the Catholic Church. I now believe the Eucharist is truly Jesus, His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. I understand Mary not as someone we worship, but as the Mother of God, honored for her yes. I see the Saints as intercessors, not replacements for Christ. And I’ve come to love the sacraments and the rosary in ways I never expected. I’m not sharing this because I have it all figured out. In fact this journey has brought a lot of pain, and questioning. I’ve lost relationships because of my beliefs. I’m sharing because this is where God has led me, through prayer, wrestling, and surrender. I’ll be entering the Church this Easter. I’m still learning, I’m asking questions, and trusting Him. If you’re curious, questioning, or on your own journey, you’re not alone!!

I thought it would be nice to share our testimonies as an introduction - how did you convert to Catholicism?
