Jim and Kara Johnson are Catholic reverts who currently live in Idaho, homeschool their three children, and run a healthcare staffing company. In 2008 they met at a Protestant bible study where Jim was a “lukewarm” Catholic searching for community and passion, while Kara was a deeply devoted “staunch anti-Catholic”, and Bible school graduate, looking for a more authentic faith. They thought they had found that when Jim left the Church and they were married as Protestants. But through a challenging time in their marriage and a beautiful encounter with the Eucharist in 2016 they were both led Home to the Catholic Church- a place Kara said she would never go. Since Jim’s reversion, and Kara’s conversion, Jim has been involved in Cursillo, Knights of Columbus, and several other men’s ministries. Kara is a Catholic author, regular podcast guest, and spiritual director for Made For Greatness. Together, they are committed to bridging the gap between Protestant views and Catholic truths, and love discussing marriage, family, and of course, the story of their conversion, and blessed power of Christ in the Eucharist.
