About
Alex Ross
Alex grew up in Central Indiana as the oldest of five lacrosse-loving kids. She studied Interpersonal Communication and Counseling at Ball State University where St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body rocked her world. Her first encounter with the Culture Project at a FOCUS conference boosted her courage to live a fuller and more virtuous life, and she soon felt set on fire to spread the great vibrancy of the Gospel of Life herself. “When I saw how radically attractive, beautiful, and healing the Culture Project missionaries’ lives of chastity could be to the world around them, I knew I wanted in with all my heart. The message and the experience of authentic love uniquely transforms lives. It is authentic love that unlocks exactly who we are created to be.”

One time, a guy friend of mine was lamenting to me about being put in the “friendzone”, and it was really hard to hear his complaint knowing the honest intentions of the women on the other side. Contrary to my personality, I went on a big rant on why his use of the word “friendzone”…

I once heard a story of a mother who was having a hard day. Feeling defeated, she looked in the mirror, noticing only the dark circles under her eyes, and let out a big sigh. But when she turned around, she found her little daughter admiring her from the doorway with a big smile. “Mommy,”…

Freshman year of high school I was so excited to have a fresh start that I did EVERYTHING. Not 1, 2, or even 3, but 4 sports. Choir. Grades. Clubs. 20 minute “natural makeup” tutorials on Youtube in the morning. I met new, exciting people, leaped to join groups I could go to football games…
