“Just One More”: He Slept on a Chapel Floor—and Never Went Back
My interview on the Heroic Stories podcast, with Chris Mann.
“One night, I came home and found my girlfriend’s stuff in a trash bag, dumped outside the door. She wasn’t welcome inside any more.”
That was the moment. Dominic was dating the woman who would become his wife, and the ultra-radical Catholic group he was living with decided she had to go. Her presence threatened everything.
The choice was brutal: stay in the only world he had ever known or follow a woman he wasn’t even sure he’d marry yet.
“I met my girlfriend online, when I was in Sydney, Australia, and she was in Maryland, USA. I flew back, and we started dating. She drove down to spend a week with my family, and that’s when it all blew up.
“I couldn’t send her away,” he remembers. So they drove to the local church. She slept in the van. He slept on the chapel floor. And in the grey, early morning, they looked at each other and I knew: “I’m not going back.”
