Sonja erupted on the scene with her explosive best-selling book, Unleashed, Her podcast/radio show Bible Study Evangelista is featured on local stations and networks throughout the country and the Discerning Hearts® website; and is now available on the most popular Catholic app, Laudate. Sonja is thrilled to be part of the CatholicTV family with her own show, Evangelista Bible Study, which began airing weekly in September 2019. She also writes for Magnificat magazine, Jeff Cavins’ The Great Adventure Bible Study Blog, and speaks around the world.
Sonja founded a non-profit as an evangelical when her own deep need for more of God began to connect with her non-Catholic brothers and sisters, and she started receiving invitations to speak around the country. Serving both internationally and locally, and on radio and TV, she was privileged for many years to witness God speaking and moving in people’s lives through her teaching.
Later, her hunger for righteousness having led her to the Church as both the “pillar and foundation of truth” and the desire of her heart, Sonja was thrilled to discover how hungry Catholics were for the Word of God! She dove into writing multi-media Bible study resources for Catholics like those she worked on prior to her full communion with the Church.
Because Sonja has a fiercely loyal, grateful love for the Catholic Church, it is her heart’s cry to participate in the New Evangelism by drawing people more deeply into the Church through the Scriptures. She writes and produces multi-media Bible study resources, and travels anywhere and everywhere to spread her simple message: God loves you to death; learn to let Him.
