Breakout Session:

“You’re Choosing DEATH”: FROM PROTESTANT TO CATHOLIC THROUGH OPENNESS TO LIFE

Matt and Jen Jordan married as Evangelicals with no interest in Catholicism or practicing the Church’s teachings on contraception. Over the course of several years, as Matt was pursuing his PhD and working as a college philosophy professor, they came to embrace the Catholic understanding of human sexuality and, eventually, the Church’s claims about herself. In this breakout session, Matt and Jen will share the story of their conversion, how it has blessed and enhanced their marriage, and how it can bless and enhance your marriage, too.

MATT AND JEN JORDAN

Matt and Jen have been married for nearly 25 years and have 7 children together, along with 4 unborn babies lost through miscarriage.

Jen homeschools their younger children and is currently pursuing a certificate through the Theology of the Body Institute. The Jordans live in Matt’s childhood home in Hudson, Ohio
