David shares how his questions about the Eucharist, Scripture, and the teachings of the Catholic Church eventually led him to enter the Church in 2024.\nBut his conversion story didn’t end there. David talks about the unexpected “coincidences” and people God placed in his path—including a surprising connection with Deacon Tim—that helped him recognize God’s providence at work.\nJust months after becoming Catholic, David found himself discerning an entirely unexpected call to become a FOCUS missionary. Despite repeatedly turning down invitations to apply, he eventually took a leap of faith, and during his interview weekend, his heart began to open to the mission.\nNow preparing to serve college students at the University of Southern Indiana, David reflects on what it means to surrender his plans, trust God with his future, and follow where He leads—even when the destination is uncertain. It’s a conversation about conversion, the Eucharist, discernment, providence, and learning to trust God one step at a time.","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}
