Pope John Paul II changed everything for us — even how we met.
In this special episode, released for his feast day, we share how St. John Paul II shaped our lives, our marriage, and our mission. His call for a New Evangelization didn’t just renew the Church — it gave us direction, purpose, and eventually, each other.

From World Youth Day 2000 to discovering his encyclical Redemptoris Missio (Mission of the Redeemer), we each encountered Christ through the example of Pope John Paul II. His words — “The Church exists to evangelize” — became the foundation of our ministry and our story together.
We’ll look back on those early moments of conversion, the birth of Face to Face Ministries, and how the witness of St. John Paul II continues to inspire our work today on YouTube.
“Conversion means accepting, by a personal decision, the saving sovereignty of Christ and becoming His disciple.” — St. John Paul II
