    She went to OCIA to prove Catholicism wrong. Now she's Catholic.

    From Seventh day adventist, to atheist, to non-denominational, to finally finding her home in the Catholic Church - Aubrey's story is a powerful testament to how truth can reshape your entire faith journey. She shares how going through the catechumenate stages of OCIA to DEBUNK Catholic doctrines led her to discover the beauty and depth of the Church. Aubrey’s journey highlights that faith questions are always worth seeking answers to, even through doubts and misconceptions. And that sometimes, the answers are where you least expect them.  If you have fundamental questions about faith or are just curious about Catholic traditions, OCIA might just be a natural next step for you in your journey.

  3. Missionary becomes Catholic and loses friends. But God stepped in…

    May 18

    Missionary becomes Catholic and loses friends. But God stepped in…

    Throughout my journey of researching the Catholic faith I’ve been particularly captivated by conversion stories. This week I have the pleasure of sitting down with Brian Tran, a.k.a. “Catholic Brian” - a former Protestant missionary who served in some of the world's most persecuted regions, now dedicated to sharing the Catholic faith through social media! His testimony reveals how deep study, divine encounters, and unwavering obedience can lead even the most skeptical souls to the transformative power of Christ in the Eucharist, Mary, and the early Church’s teachings. This episode is a MUST-listen for anyone seeking to understand the beauty and depth of Catholic tradition. Whether you’re a seasoned believer or just beginning your spiritual journey, Brian’s story will inspire you to keep seeking TRUTH, trust in divine mercy, and realize that the fullness of Christ’s Church has been walking with us through history.  JOIN MY BOOK CLUB / ONLINE COMMUNITY ON PATREON! https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLightenUpPodcast/membership AND GRAB YOUR COPY OF ROME SWEET HOME! https://www.amazon.com/shop/hannahcrews.blog/list/2PB2I38GARM1E?ref_=aipsflist Catholic Study Bible:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DGS9GF6Z/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_TXJHJMBA5QC141BHCK6R?linkCode=ml1&tag=hannahcrews0d-20&linkId=49a57ef9107ed95111e307daadf6721d CONNECT WITH BRIAN ON SOCIAL MEDIA: https://www.instagram.com/catholicbrian/ https://www.instagram.com/ark22studios/ https://www.tiktok.com/@catholicbrian https://linktr.ee/Catholicbrian CONNECT WITH ME TO STAY IN THE LIGHTEN UP LOOP: Subscribe on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@Hannahcrewsblog My Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hannahcrews.blog/ The Lighten Up Podcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thelightenup.podcast/ Follow on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1Z99Vwa8ret6yXRLwG18MY?si=SbbMvpO3R-qLnbgiG4IFeA Follow on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lighten-up-with-hannah-crews/id1874136088 Chapters 00:00 Brian's Missionary Background 08:12 The Shift from Atheism to Faith 12:50 The Journey into Catholicism 18:34 Family Influence and the Call to Catholicism 23:59 The Eucharist and Its Significance 24:25 The Journey to Understanding Mary 28:51 The Fulfillment of the Law 33:13 The Role of Tradition in Catholicism 35:16 Personal Testimonies and Transformations 41:16 Resources for Understanding Catholicism 47:26 The Mission of Digital Evangelization 50:32 Faith Journeys and Influencer Responsibilities

  4. What to Expect: Your FIRST Time Going to Mass

    May 11

    What to Expect: Your FIRST Time Going to Mass

    If you've ever been curious or intimidated by Catholic traditions, then consider this episode your official “Mass Survival Guide!” My family and I have been exclusively attending Catholic Mass now for several months and we absolutely love it - including my kids! We’ve experienced Mass not as super “boring” (as some might describe it), but as a powerful act of worship focused entirely on Jesus and the Eucharist. My hope is that these practical tips take some of the pressure off and allow you to fully experience the beauty of the Mass if you ever decide to go. Regardless of our backgrounds or denominations - the reverence, tradition, and the focus on Jesus at Mass is something to behold ☺️ If you’re interested in joining our 📖BOOK CLUB  / ONLINE COMMUNITY with others who are curious about the Catholic faith and early church history - BECOME AN “ELITE” MEMBER OF MY PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLightenUpPodcast/membership And grab your copy of “Rome Sweet Home” by Scott Hahn here 👇🏼 https://www.amazon.com/shop/hannahcrews.blog/list/2PB2I38GARM1E?ref_=aipsflist CONNECT WITH ME TO STAY IN THE LIGHTEN UP LOOP: Subscribe on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@Hannahcrewsblog My Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hannahcrews.blog/ The Lighten Up Podcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thelightenup.podcast/ Follow on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1Z99Vwa8ret6yXRLwG18MY?si=SbbMvpO3R-qLnbgiG4IFeA Follow on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lighten-up-with-hannah-crews/id1874136088 Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Catholic Curiosity 02:59 First Experiences with Catholic Mass 05:58 Understanding the Structure of Mass 09:00 Navigating Your First Mass 11:45 Reflections on the Eucharist and Community

    VIRAL PREDATOR CATCHER: HOW ALEX ROSEN TRACKS DOWN CHILD PREDATORS | E14

    Are we really doing enough to protect our kids? Most parents don’t realize how close predators are and how easy it is for them to slip through the cracks. In this episode today Alex Rosen dives into the truth behind catching child predators that most of us never see. When you hear how he and his team, Predator Poachers, identify and confront these sick individuals (sometimes in direct face-to-face meetings) you'll realize how vital this undercover work is for protecting innocent lives. His story reveals the shocking prevalence of online predators and the heartbreaking gaps left by some law enforcement agencies, highlighting why vigilante efforts are sometimes necessary and how they serve as a crucial deterrent in a vast, hidden battle. Hopefully this will be a wake-up call for any parent, teacher, or concerned citizen who understands that the fight to protect children is ongoing and multifaceted. The truth is… we all need to do our part. Be aware of who’s around your kids, limit their online exposure, and support efforts to keep predators off the streets.
