Sandy Hatfield Clubb is the Athletics Director for Drake University in Des Moines. Sandy shared with us her journey of faith. She grew up in a broken home and took that with her as she went into college. She found herself looking for family and a true home. In her mid-20's she began her journey with Christ and was baptised Episcopal.

When she moved to Arizona after finishing school she had two close friends who were Catholic and she began attending the liturgies with them each week. She was immediately taken by the sense of family and home that the Catholic Church held. After she and her husband baptized both their children into the Catholic Church, she decided to move forward into the Catholic Family. She enjoyed going through RCIA and growing spiritually as well as sharing the information and newfound faith with her husband.

Sandy also told a few inspiring stories about how the Holy Spirit has worked in the life of her family. One of many great Iowans living a Catholic Life.



Dr. Gregory McKernan an Osteopathic Family Practice Physician in Iowa joined us for the second interview. He shared with us some of the history of medicine from the days of blood letting to is knowledge of the skelatal muscular systems as a tool in healing. Osteopathic medicine focuses on the skelatal muscular system to bring healing to the body.

Dr. McKernan is pro-family and an NFP only doctor, holding true to the teachings of the Catholic Church. He spoke of his shock when he realized what birth control really does to a woman's body. He now promotes Natural Family Planning as the means for spacing births in a family. He has delivered 1600 babies in his career and works with all members of the family.
