Bob and Penny Lord
Bob & Penny Lord are Founders of Journey of Faith, a ministry dedicated to the Evangelization through Communication. They have been on Catholic Television for the last 25 years and have hosted 10 television series for EWTN and have made over 200 programs, with numerous appearances on Mother Angelica Live! Authors of 25 books and now working on #26, they travel to Europe, Mexico, Canada and videotape documentaries based on their books.
This all began because, while born Catholics, they had walked away from their Church and their Lord after their son's tragic death, due to an overdose of drugs. In 1975 they came back to Jesus after three painful years away and through the intercession of Our Lady, only now as Converts, on fire, thirsting to know more about this Church founded by Jesus. They began traveling to Catholic Shrines of Jesus, Mary, the Saints and the Angels and founded Journeys of Faith, a ministry dedicated to Evangelization through Communication.
Through Mother Angelica, and EWTN, what began as a national outreach to 40,000,000 homes has grown into international evangelization to the whole world through television, radio and the printed word. They have been awarded the highest of awards for their evangelistic work.
Jenn Giroux is the former Executive Director of HLI America, a program of Human Life International which she began under the leadership of Fr. Tom Euteneneuer. Prior to that, Jenn was the Founder and President of Women Influencing the Nation (WIN), an organization dedicated to reclaiming traditional morality in American society.
Jenn’s dynamic speaking style and compelling real life stories reach out to every heart in the room where ever she goes to speak. She is an example to audiences everywhere on how saying “yes” to God in little ways can open the doors to big things if we are willing to follow His call and stand up for His Truths in our lives. Through personal witness, her pro-life activities, various political efforts, and as a frequent guest on Catholic Radio, Jenn discusses women's issues in the Church and politics.
Jenn has been a Registered Nurse for 24 years where she has witnessed first hand the devastating physical, mental, and spiritual fall out from the feminist movement, especially abortion. In 2007, as Assistant to the President at Citizens for Community Values she developed an outreach program to help Catholic parents shield their children from internet pornography. She has been seen debating these and many other political issues on MSNBC, CNN, FOX, AND COMCAST NEWS NETWORKS.
Jenn regards God's gift of motherhood as her most important and fulfilling work . She and her husband Dan have nine children and they live in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Born and raised in a Jewish home, Rosalind Moss, in her adult years embraced Jesus as the Messiah of the Jewish people. Her initial conversion took her from a 15-year business career as a successful executive with corporations in New York and California to full-time Evangelical ministry. A series of events in the summer of 1990 set her on a compelling course to find out if the Catholic Church is in fact the Church Christ established 2,000 years ago. After 18 years of Evangelical Protestantism, she entered the Catholic Church at Easter 1995.
Since that time she has traveled the world speaking and teaching through conferences, parish missions, women's and family retreats, and all forms of media. From July, 1999 to May, 2008, Rosalind, now Sister Rosalind, was a fulltime staff apologist with Catholic Answers and remains to this day a guest of the semi-monthly radio program, From the Heart on Catholic Answers Live. She is the editor of Home at Last, 11 Who found their Way to the Catholic Church, co-host of EWTN's Household of Faith and Now That We're Catholic!, host of Reasons for Our Hope: A Bible Study on the Gospel of Luke, and author of the Bible Study book by the same title.
On the Feast of the Queenship of Mary, August 22, 2008, Daughters of Mary, Mother of Our Hope was born in St. Louis, MO. She is dedicated to promoting the Catholic faith and reaching out as messengers of hope in the midst of a needy world.
Singer and song writer Sarah Bauer has been named one of the top ten most fascinating Catholics of the year by blogger Lisa Hendey of Catholic Mom Blog and writer for Faith and Family Live! Through the success of her album Delighting in Dreams, Sarah discovered in prayer that her specific calling in ministry is to challenge young people to dream big and to recognize the great plans that God has for their lives.
She spent time developing this theme in her songwriting and collaborated with long-time friend Christopher Sansone for her follow-up album, Lead Me Home. The album received instant attention and praise, displaying the growth of this dynamic songwriter and vocalist.
Sarah spent the following year promoting the new album on the road, including a performance at World Youth Day 2005 in Germany. After her third album Radiance, she launched a video magazine.
