After graduating from the fundamentalist Bob Jones University with a degree in Speech and English, he went to study theology at Oxford University. Eventually, he was ordained as an Anglican priest and served as a curate, a school chaplain in Cambridge and a country parson on the Isle of Wight. Realizing that the Anglican Church and he were on divergent paths, in 1995, Fr Dwight Longenecker and his family were received into the Catholic Church. For ten years they continued to live in England where he worked as a freelance writer and charity worker. Then in 2006 the door opened to return to the United States of America and be ordained as a Catholic priest. He now serves as Pastor of Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Greenville, South Carolina.

Ever since I first heard the Gospel message—"Jesus Christ loves you. He gave his life to save you, and now he is living at your side to enlighten, strengthen, and free you"—my life has been devoted to glorifying God and helping others experience His transformative love. My greatest joy is walking alongside others as they discover the boundless mercy, healing, and hope found in Christ. I’ve been blessed to share 20 incredible years of marriage with my wife, a partnership filled with adventures both across the country and through the journeys of faith. Together, we’ve been gifted with seven amazing children (and three in heaven), who inspire me every day to embrace the beauty and challenges of life with a childlike heart. While I often joke, “I prayed for patience, and God gave me children,” the truth is, I wouldn’t change a thing. They are my greatest joy and my daily reminders of God’s faithfulness. Family life is a vibrant tapestry of shared moments: playing designer board games that spark connection and laughter, building with Legos, road-tripping to new places, and tackling endless fixer-upper projects around the house. I’ve also found a newfound love for hiking and being outdoors, where God’s creation inspires awe and reflection. At the heart of everything I do is a passion for bringing people together. Whether it’s around a board game, a dinner table, or a community event, I strive to create spaces where people feel loved, valued, and seen. I believe in the power of relationships and the beauty of shared experiences that draw us closer to one another and to Christ. As a co-host of Draw Near, I’m grateful for the opportunity to journey alongside others in faith. My prayer is that through these shared moments, they will find the hope, joy, and love that only He can provide.

Like so many in her neighborhood, she graduated from Catholic grammar and high schools. Jean Attended Buffalo State College and graduated from Medaille College with a BA in psychology. She has been married to her husband John since 1984.  And, together they raised a son, Ben, and daughter, Mara in the Catholic Church.  And, they provided them with Catholic education from pre-K through grade 12. While raising her family, Jean became a Certified Practitioner of the Creighton Model of Natural Family Planning (known now as Creighton Model FertilityCare).  And she taught the method to couples for a decade. For several years, from the mid-90's to the early 2000's Jean worked for a couple of parishes in various positions. In the mid-2000's Jean went through a crisis of faith and what she calls her own "dark night of the soul".  Jean left the Church for several years. In 2021 she became certified as a grief educator and a grief coach in the first cohort with grief expert and author, David Kessler. The decision to pursue this certification was a direct result of the death of her 28 year old son, Ben in 2016.  In 2023, after much prayer and discernment, Jean began her grief ministry which includes facilitating two grief support groups, providing grief education to groups, and individual coaching.   For more information, you can contact Jean at  [email protected]

Inside today's episode of The Unplanned Joyful Life Podcast, Cathy Jo has the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Noah Lee Koningisorn, otherwise known as "Noah Lee and The Stetson's".  After seeing Noah perform live and enjoying his undeniable talent and showmanship , Cathy Jo wanted others to know and experience Noah's God-given talent as well!   Noah tells us about his early childhood and life-long experience of growing up in a family where music was enjoyed, encouraged and embraced regularly.  From Elvis Presley and Jim Croce, to Gordon Lightfoot and John Denver, Noah performs a wide variety of artists.  But most importantly, he writes and performs his own music too.  He uses life experiences and faith to guide in the creation of his music, lyrics and artwork.  I highly encourage you to find and follow him on listening apps.  And if you can see and hear him perform live, you will not be disappointed!
