About Us

Hi, I’m Diana Rivas, and I’d like to share a part of my journey that has been transformative and deeply personal.

I was raised Catholic in a very traditional, faith-centered family. As a child, I received all my sacraments and was surrounded by the love of a very Catholic home. Coming from a Venezuelan family with strong Spanish Catholic roots, faith was a natural part of my life. I loved it—prayer, church, the deep sense of connection to something greater.

But as I grew older, I found myself pulled into the secular, worldly things around me. The desire to fit in, to belong, led me to stray. I became more focused on relationships, on fitting into a world that didn’t really align with the values I had been raised with. I let go of my faith, even though deep down, I knew it was something I loved and cherished.

I ended up feeling lost. There were moments when I didn’t even recognize myself. I got caught up in the distractions—boys, friendships, the pursuit of things that didn't fill the hole I felt inside. My faith, once a guiding light, felt distant and irrelevant in the midst of it all. I didn't realize how much I missed God until I found myself in a place where nothing seemed to satisfy.

Then, two years ago, I found myself in a place of peace—a great relationship, amazing friends, a wonderful family—but something still felt off. That's when I stumbled across a show called "The Chosen". I remember watching the first episode, and it hit me so deep. The portrayal of Jesus in such a real, human, and loving way made me feel Him in my heart again for the first time in years. It was like the door to my soul opened wide, and I could finally feel His presence again, the same presence I had once known so well.

That moment changed everything. It was a love so deep and pure, a love that completely shifted my perspective on life, on relationships, on who I am. I realized that my longing for truth, for meaning, had always been about Him. That love brought me back to faith with a new understanding, a deeper hunger to seek His truth and live it.

Now, I can’t imagine going back to the way I was. That love has transformed my life, my mind, and my worldview. I’m so grateful for this second chance to walk with Jesus, to seek Him every day, and to live in His grace. I know this is just the beginning of a new chapter in my faith journey, and I’m excited to see where it leads.
