ABOUT  VL

Chris Zajdzinski was raised a Baptist “Bible Christian” who thought the Catholic Church was a heretical non Christian organization.  When the Blessed Pope John Paul II died in 2005, Chris believed he was a condemned soul! Later that year, Chris experienced a spiritual conversion that caused him to question the theological conflicts and inconsistencies he saw within the Protestant Christian world. He began studying Catholic teaching, exploring the faith historically, and meditating on the scriptures from a Catholic viewpoint. By the grace of God, his eyes were opened to the truth, beauty and goodness of the Catholic Church. After an intense journey of prayer, study, and guidance from the Holy Spirit, Chris was confirmed into full communion with the Church, along with his wife and 4 children on Divine Mercy Sunday 2008.

His journey into the Church made Chris aware of two unfortunate realities. First, most non Catholics misunderstand what the Church teaches to be true. The result is many people rejecting Catholicism based on a disconnected and inaccurate version of the faith. Second, many Catholics do not feel fully equipped to effectively evangelize and explain their faith to others. Chris became passionate about helping others develop a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith, and encouraging them to grow in their relationship with Christ.  Through his work with Virtuous Life, Chris hopes to assist the transforming and evangelizing work of the Holy Spirit in the Church today. Chris is currently pursuing his M.A. in Theology from the Augustine Institute.
