Lauren Bauer shared with Fr. Mattingly and Taylor Furrer about her own conversion of heart, which began with her head and then moved to her heart. After having been raised Catholic, Lauren's parents separated and attended different churches. Lauren was faced with a decision, but chose to remain Catholic and defend the faith with her knowledge.  After reading a book about Pope Saint John Paul II, Lauren's head learned that Jesus is a friend and desires relationship with her. So her heart followed her head, and began to dedicate her time in prayer, to be in relationship with Jesus. Lauren has continued to learn the delicate balance between knowing and loving Jesus.  Show Notes: - Saint John Paul the Great: His 5 Loves by Jason Evert - Benedictine College - Morning Offering by St. Philip Neri: "Watch me, O Lord, this day; for, abandoned to myself, I shall surely betray thee." - Sisterhood Small Groups - Abiding Together Podcast - This Present Paradise: A Spiritual Journey with St. Elizabeth of the Trinity
