In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by author, speaker, and Catholic convert Shemaiah Gonzalez to share the remarkable story of her journey into the Catholic Church.

From the profound beginnings of her life, through some wild ups and downs and everything in between, Shemaiah's story is a fantastic tale of following Jesus where he leads – through heartbreak and joy – with utter abandonment. And, when Shemaiah begins to grow close to a long-time friend of hers and realizes that he's Catholic, her story takes a thrilling turn!

Shemaiah is a fantastic storyteller and I hope you enjoy her story!
