From Religion to Relationship: My Mom’s Journey to Knowing Jesus

I thought I knew God… until one moment changed everything.”

In this moving conversation with my mom, you’ll hear how she went from religion without relationship to a life fully surrendered to Jesus—no turning back.

In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode of Out of Focus, I sit down with the woman who has shaped my faith more than anyone else—my mother. From her devout Catholic upbringing to the moment she surrendered her life to Christ, she shares the raw and beautiful journey of finding a real relationship with Him.

We talk about:

Growing up in a religious home but not knowing the Gospel

The unexpected encounter at work that led her to the Bible

The cost of following Jesus when family doesn’t understand

How to keep your heart focused in a world full of distractions

Why prayer has become her lifeline (and how she prays for decades without giving up)

The daily habits that keep her faith strong

Whether you’ve walked with God for years, are just starting to seek Him, or feel “out of focus” in your spiritual life, this conversation will encourage you to press in, pursue truth, and hold on to the One who never lets go.

📖 Key Verses: Jeremiah 29:13, John 6:63, James 4:6, Philippians 4:6–7
