Jewish Catholic Convert | Lawyer| Criminal Justice Professor at @Flmemorialuniversity | Catholic Author at @SophiaPress | Trauma Survivor by the grace of God
Nobody talks about how the father of the prodigal son felt when after loving him all those years, his son treated him like a bank, took his money and left. Transactional love is not of God.

Let me reintroduce myself:
I'm a Jewish Catholic Convert
I'm a lawyer committed to justice.
I'm a professor committed to raising up our first generation college students.
I'm a survivor of sexual abuse trauma healed through God's grace.

Many times, trauma survivors feel as though their light has been snuffed out. But Jesus says, you are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. They cannot dim our God-given light!

After four years away from Twitter now X, I'm here. So much has happened. While I didn't plan to come back, I got so many messages pointing me to this post by @BillArnoldTeach.
This time around, I am in a healed space and God has made good on His promises!

Melissa Presser didn’t drift into Catholicism.
She walked straight through Judaism, Protestantism, and straight into the Church.
And it cost her everything.
Then it cost her again.
People don’t convert to Catholicism for comfort.
They convert because the truth won’t leave them alone.
