Podcast Overview

BECOMING CATHOLIC is a podcast for anyone interested in learning what it's like (and what to expect) as a convert to the Catholic faith. My name is Eliza Ceci. In 2019, Jesus Christ saved me from an unbiblical, secular, and new age life. After feeling like there was something missing in my evangelical walk, God gave me yet another grace I didn't deserve - He opened my eyes and heart to the Catholic faith. Join me as I share my honest journey of what it's like to BECOME CATHOLIC - from how it all started all the way through to my confirmation in the Church (and beyond). My intention for this project is that it's a bridge of understanding for those who know and love the Catholic faith and those who are curious, questioning, or somewhere in between. IF YOU LOVE THE LORD, I invite you to join me! Let's learn what its like to become Catholic together.
