David grew up in an Italian Catholic family. He made all of his sacraments, and yet he began to rebel as a teenager. Ultimately he stopped attending Mass and would wander spiritually for several decades. A few years ago, he had an unexplained feeling that he should go to Mass. It was the first Sunday of Advent. That day he received a personal invitation to Discovering Christ, where he had a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. As he would later reflect, “This program transformed me—a very skeptical fallen-away Catholic—and allowed for me to take a fresh look at what Jesus said and did.”
