In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Claire Noel, a convert to Catholicism, with an absolutely compelling story to tell. 

While almost impossible to summarize Claire's story is one that needs to be heard to be appreciated. 

From Christianity to a major deconstruction and years in the New Age movement. Claire's story is punctuated by twist after turn including encounters with dark forces as her and her husband tried to make their way out of the New Age movement. And, ultimately, discovering that the Calvinist, Reformed faith they had rediscovered wasn't the same faith held by the apostles and the Early Church – and discovering a much more ancient, apostolic tradition in Catholicism. 

This conversion journey is absolutely packed with everything from encountering the rich, deep holistic teaching of the Catholic Church's Theology of the Body to observations and realizations about Christian unity and denominations, to encounters with the unmistakable, miraculous intervention of God. 

You won't want to miss this conversation – especially because it almost didn't happen!
