This episode of Changing Tracks is the first of two parts in which Christel tells us how she converted from Protestantism to Catholicism, and by doing so discovered the meaning to life as well as a faith that truly answered the questions she had deep within. The doubts that had arose in her heart during her teenage years had moved her to study theology at college. There, it was by reading the Church Fathers and discovering the Blessed Virgin Mary that she began to find the truth.

Gerry Ong was born and raised in a Taoist-Buddhist family in Singapore. He got married to a Catholic woman thinking he would later convert her to Buddhism, but he could not expect what actually occurred. Thanks to his wife's prayers, his experiences accompanying her on pilgrimages, as well as his grandfather's mysterious healing through a visit from a woman dressed in blue, it would be him--not his wife--who would convert in the end.

Mike Hardin continues to tell us how he encountered Christ. In jail he received a grace that made him realize that something had to change, but he didn't know which religion to turn to. After reading The Mystical City of God, Mike understood that he had to become catholic.

At only 9 years of age, Mike Hardin fell into the trap of pornography after coming across his father's collection of pornographic material. The bad example of catholics "only by name" finished off the little faith he had left, and he turned to a life of parties and alcohol. It was after his dad's death that he began to pray the rosary, offering it up for him, and shortly afterwards Mike had a "special" dream that began to bring about changes in his life.

The young 15 year old Shane Sullivan, despite having grown up in a catholic family and receiving a catholic education, really couldn't really care less about God. He wasn't alive in his faith nor had he had a personal experience of God. A turning point was thanks to a young priest who gave him an example of someone who truly followed Christ. Feeling empty but at the same time afraid to live without the "happiness" the world offers, one day he decided to skip class and decided to go into the local church. On coming out he saw a poster that proposed a question to him that he could not ignore.
