Lexi shares her path from a non-denominational Christian upbringing to entering the Catholic Church through OCIA, describing the mentors, friendships, and experiences that helped her discover the beauty of Catholicism and the Eucharist. Nick reflects on growing up Catholic, rediscovering his faith in college through the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Center at Purdue, and how community and retreats transformed his relationship with Christ. Together, they discuss dating across denominations, preparing for marriage, the importance of prayer and accountability, and the role of authentic Christian friendships in shaping a life of faith.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/dhy2ecBai6Y8pZCqMMADpxsAwDHWtQoE36ZwKrxshY0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mNzA2/ZDMwMGJkODA0NGYx/ZmU2NjNlODA2MmNk/NzA1Yy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
