EP 11 | Former Protestant Theologian to Catholic Deacon | Deacon Professor Dr. Sherman Kuek O.F.S

In this episode, we journey through the conversion story of Rev. Deacon Prof. Dr. Sherman Kuek O.F.S, a Permanent Deacon of the Catholic Church and Secular Franciscan. From his Protestant roots to his reception into Full Communion with the Catholic Church, Deacon Sherman shares how his pursuit of Truth led him home to Catholicism, even at great personal cost.

He speaks candidly about his early struggles, the reality of ministry, and the call to serve in fidelity despite persecution from both within and without. We also explore his insights on Clericalism, Synodality, Catechesis, and Church Renewal, which are pertinent issues for our times.

As founder of 'The Splendour Project', Deacon Sherman continues to form minds and hearts through Theological Literacy, Catechetical Formation, and evangelisation - reminding us that the work of renewal begins with faithfulness and courage.
