About the Show

Three people from completely different backgrounds in life unpack topics and questions surrounding life and the reckless love of God. In this honest and open round table discussion, the hosts bear their hearts and souls as they share their life experiences, what happened along the way, and how this shaped them into who they are today. This unique show will allow the viewers to see themselves through the lens of the hosts’ personal faith journeys while discussing challenging subject matter fortified by authentic Catholic theology.  By sharing and testifying to their faith, Deacon Harold, Nick, and Ellen hope to move viewers to deeper intimacy with Christ, prayerfully inspire conversion, restore a spirit of trust, and embolden new disciples.

“…that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.”
Philippians 2:15

Ellen Holmes Steeves-LeBlanc is a mother of three grown children, has, since childhood, felt God calling her to "something" greater. Her entire life there had been a tug, many inexplicable moments, a gentle nudge and then the thought, "What do you want from me, Lord?" It took fifty years for her to finally answer the call, "YES LORD, Here I Am!" As it turns out, that "something" was an intentional and more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ through multiple initiatives including: a devotion to the Sacraments, a Contemplative Pilgrimage Ministry, a non-profit called Destined4This, Inc, Book Writing, A Blog and a podcast.
