Faith & Family Radio with Steve Wood Steve Wood

This is a reair of an interview Steve did with Jewish-Catholic convert, Debbie Herbeck.
Steve has Debbie Herbeck in the studio today, sharing her story of how she came to know Jesus Christ. Debbie shares the first time she remembers praying to God, converting from Judaism to Christianity and the important role the bible has played in her life. 
To learn more about Debbie and the ministries she co-founded with her husband, visit the Renewal Ministries website.
Tune in to our next show for an interview with Debbie and her daughter, Rachel, to hear all about the work they’re doing to connect with youth and young adults in the Faith.

This episode is a reair of the popular show with Sister Ann Shields. This show originally aired in 2016. Given the number of youth that are continuing to fall away from the Church, let Sister’s story serve as a guidepost to help us bring them back and help prevent further fallout.
Sr. Ann Shields joins Steve today to share her conversion story and to discuss her powerful book, More of the Holy Spirit: How to Keep the Fire Burning in Our Hearts.
