The National Catholic Register has a interesting interview tith Rob Evans, the Donut Man. He and his wife and one daughter were received into the Catholic Church last Easter. The interview touches on his career as a Evangelical Christian performer, selling more than 6 million CDs and DVDs and the path that lead him into the Church.

Jeff,
Thanks for posting, I’m a sucker for conversion stories. And this was a pretty good one.
cool!
My kids love “The Donut Man,” and his appearance on “The Journey Home” was easily one of my favorites. He exuded love for the Church and especially the Eucharist.
Thanks for the nod, Jeff. It was great talking to him and writing his story. I hope he will make as many inroads in Catholic circles as he did with evangelical Protestants.
Saw the Donut Man at the Coming Home Network’s “Deep in History” conference in Columbus, OH last month. Very entertaining.
This makes me kind of nervous. A new convert ought to be quiet for a year or two before launching out into a “ministry”. It sounds like a Catholic exstension of his old Evangelical life.
There is an interview with Rob Evans on a podcast known as the GrapeVine News Minute podcast. In it he talks very candidly about his conversion.

There’s other stuff before it, just so you know.
