What happens when a man walks away from faith, explores LaVeyan Satanism, hits rock bottom—and then finds healing, truth, and peace in the Catholic Church?
In this raw and powerful interview, I sit down with Jordan Waite, a former non-denominational Christian who wrestled with deep spiritual questions, trauma, and depression before discovering the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. His journey takes us through childhood pain, broken relationships, a failed marriage over his Catholic faith, and a transformation that only God’s grace could accomplish.
We talk about:
The false promises of self-centered “spirituality”
The moment the Eucharist became real
Why reverence in worship matters
The healing power of confession
Mental health, masculinity, and God’s mercy
Why many misunderstand Catholic teaching on works, Mary, and baptism
This is one of the most vulnerable, honest, and inspiring conversations I’ve had on this channel. Jordan’s story is a reminder that God often shows up most when we’re at our lowest—and that the Catholic Church isn’t a museum of saints but a hospital for sinners.
