Last updated on: October 14, 2020 at 8:12 pm By K. Albert Little

Why Would a Protestant Pastor of 22 Years Become Catholic?

Last updated on: March 8, 2020 at 7:55 am By K. Albert Little

“He had more statues than the Vatican,” Keith relates. “I thought maybe it was his grandmother’s house.” Keith Nester and Devin Schadt laugh as they relate the story of how they first met, a crucial, God-guided meeting, that would eventually led a Protestant pastor of twenty-two years into communion with the Catholic Church. At the time, Keith was a youth pastor, just starting out, and in need of a logo for his growing youth group. A few phone calls led... Read more
