| Linda Scharnhorst, who co-hosts the Proclaim My Word Bible study podcasts with Keri Allen on The Quest Atlanta Catholic Radio, is a Catholic convert and a member of All Saints Church in Dunwoody.
As a child, Linda was an avid reader of her children’s Bible. She could not get enough of the Bible stories from faraway places like Moses in the bulrushes on the Nile River and would read from Genesis right through to the story of Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus. But something about that story never fully made sense to her as a child. It was not until many years later that she would comprehend how Paul’s conversion story is the calling for each of us.
Because her parents believed travel was a great education, Linda traveled to all 50 states by age 15. After her MBA, she entered the business world and experienced worldly success. However, through a series of unexpected events, Linda began to reevaluate her life. No longer prioritizing the “bottom line”, Linda dove into her faith and rekindled that love of Scripture from her youth. Everything was on the table, including potentially becoming an Episcopal minister, but the Lord had other plans that would lead her to the Catholic Church. Linda is passionate about sharing her compelling testimony, teaching RCIA, podcasting, and traveling to Marian shrines, the Holy Land, and anywhere she can walk in the footsteps of the Saints. She will invite us to look back at our own conversion story as a means to go deeper and be truly converted day by day. |
