- In a new series of On the Journey, Kenny Burchard begins to share with Matt Swaim and Ken Hensley the story of his journey to the Catholic Faith.
Kenny starts at the very beginning: from being given up for adoption by Catholic parents, to being adopted by parents who didn't practice religion at all, to growing up around Mormons in Utah and eventually having a "born again" experience in the 1980's that changed everything for him.
It's a great story, and we look forward to sharing more chapters from it over the next few weeks!

What a sweet story!! As a newly confirmed Catholic, I am weeping tears of joy for you.
Thank you for sharing such a personal origin story, Kenny. Great you joined the show. 😄
A beautiful heart you have, what a testimony! God bless you, God has been bringing you to Himself ever since you were a little boy 🙏❤ ✝️
Loved this, a seeker will always find his true home.
Kenny, thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to hear the rest of your story. Absolutely beautiful.
The prayer you said as a kid is so pure, so real. How wonderful that you gave your life to God, then and now. God bless you Kenny!
Beautiful story! Love you Kenny. Thank you for opening up and telling your journey!
Thanks for listening
Thank you!!!
Kenny! Your story and yearning to know God and devote your life to him has me all teared up! Looking forward to hearing the rest of the story! May God bless you and your family abundantly!
Thanks Kim!
Awesome story! I’m very much looking forward to the rest of the story!
Awesome testimony. I love hearing other people’s journey. Mine is Ho-hum but I can’t wait to get heaven to see how my prayers affected others.
Beautiful story
Beautiful story Kenny, thank you for sharing. God bless you!🙏🏼
Thank you!!
What a beautiful testimony.
❤❤❤
Tears in my eyes! God is faithful when we seek Him!
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing!
Wow Kenny, What a Powerful story of God’s Love for you. How in today’s society parents do not have the faith of their Ancestors. This is why we need to explain to the younger generations that God is Love and they were born at this time and place for a reason and to understand God’s will for them.
Amen, Joe!
Yes! Amen!
Very powerful and moving story. GOD bless you, Kenny. I am happy for you that you have found your Catholic roots; that you have journeyed home to the Catholic Church like Matt and Ken. GOD BLESS you too, Matt and Ken for your equally powerful story.
I was bawling by the @55:23 mark 😭
Kenny: thank you so much for your sharing your testimony. Looking forward to the rest of your journey.
God bless🙏🏼
Me too Beth!! 😂
I'm so sorry, you weren't ever an "it" 😢❤
Crossroads Plaza?? Am I the only one who saw the irony? LOL! Enjoyed the video!

I went to the local JW locale with my Latin Vulgate in hand, knocked on their door, then asked the guy who opened -- showing him the Vulgate, have you ever heard about this great Book, the Bible ? Would you like to talk about it with me ?
He slammed the door in my face, and these people have never bothered me since.
I have had similar experiences with Mormons shunning me from learning of my genuine interest in the Scripture.
These people are Ideologues -- not Christians.
----
Apart from that : the moment of Conversion that you describe is so similar to my own, including the inpouring of divine love, just you were 17, I was 29, though you have the Blessing of having chosen it, as to me God basically gave me no real choice in the matter.
I thought JW was a book publisher?
YES! Been looking forward to this
When Kenny’s mom gave him The Bible and saying the control people answer. I thought 💭 of Jonah’s story. Cause Our Lord can command you to do something, even if it’s against your own will. Our Good Shepherd can do search for us any way he want’s to. Plus remembering that he is father, and he doesn’t want us to know everything. Young kids will want to imitate older kids, sibling’s, cousin’s, ect, ect. Yet we can answer as Our Heavenly Father has. It’s not your time yet. Plus even as mom gave The Holy Bible, she was also in search mode as well. Cause Kenny’s mom didn’t want him to go to Mormon Church. There must have been some teachings she definitely knew, that wasn’t true? In the beginning Lutheranism is just a carbon copy of Catholicism without Aspotolic Authority. Perhaps 🤔? Really great journey that Our Lord has for Kenny. Our Lord is just marvelous with each person that listens to his call. God bless You Kenny and your family. 04/11/24.
Good insight Frank! I agree. She had a good and godly impulse rooted in a latent and degraded (though present) faith. God sometimes gets things done with people even if they don’t know how or why.
@@KennyBurchard amen! Can’t wait for the rest of your journey. Glad you are helping with your journey told. It helps the rest of us, on how to helping others. Trying to be a good instrument, or tool for Our Lord. God bless. 04/22/24.
