My name is Steven Bratten. I met the Lord in the 1960s, but for many years I struggled with sin, addiction, and mental illness. After a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia in 1999, I began treatment—and by God’s grace, I have remained in remission ever since. In October 2012, I rededicated my life to Jesus and began faithfully attending church and reading the Bible. In 2013, I was filled with the Holy Spirit during a Jesus Outreach trip to the Indy 500, which led to a deep passion for evangelism. From 2013 to 2023, I went on 21 outreach trips across the U.S. and twice to Honduras. When I started Facebook.com/Glory2GodMemes in 2024, I was still Protestant. In 2025, I began exploring Catholicism. I entered OCIA and was received into the Catholic Church on Holy Saturday, April 4, 2026. Now at age 71, I attend Sacred Heart Church in Du Quoin, Illinois, and continue creating Christian content and ministry signs. Recently, after prayer, wise counsel, and the passing of my brother-in-law Paul—a devout Christian whose life deeply impacted me—I began evangelizing as a Catholic through St. Paul Street Evangelization. I have much to learn, but I am at peace and confident I am on the right path. My wife Melody of 31 years is very supportive. She remains Protestant. Grateful for the journey. Trusting the Lord ahead.
