What happens when you’ve spent a lifetime searching for success, reinventing yourself, and chasing the next thing—only to discover that what you’re really looking for can’t be found in a career, a city, or a paycheck? In this episode of Holy Banter, Lisa Wykoff shares her remarkable journey from what she calls “bubblegum Christianity” to becoming Catholic at this year’s Easter Vigil. Along the way, she reflects on life in Chicago, Atlanta, and Hilton Head, a stint in stand-up comedy, the heartbreak of starting over, a powerful spiritual awakening during COVID, and the unexpected path that led her to the Catholic Church. With honesty, humor, and plenty of laughs, Lisa opens up about faith, identity, spiritual warfare, and the moment she realized that true success isn’t found in what you achieve—it’s found in who you are as a child of God.
