What happens when a film premiere turns into a pilgrimage?

In this episode of the Huntley Leadership Podcast, Ron reconnects with Bobby Fredericksen — Catholic content creator, teacher, and co-host of The Catholic Couple Podcast — to unpack his journey to Poland for the launch of Triumph of the Heart, a new film on St. Maximilian Kolbe. Bobby shares what it was like to walk in Kolbe’s footsteps, witness the power of faith-filled art, and rediscover how beauty, mercy, and media can all point to Christ. He also opens up about his own evolution from teacher to “digital missionary,” balancing online influence with prayer, humility, and family life.

Summary

Ron hosts Bobby Fredericksen to unpack his unexpected pilgrimage to Poland for the red-carpet launch of Triumph of the Heart, a new film on St. Maximilian Kolbe. What began as media work became an immersion in Polish faith, Kolbe’s legacy (mission, media savvy, adoration), and the film’s core claim: mercy conquers brute power. Bobby shares on-the-ground moments, why the story moves audiences, and how listeners can support the release. He also traces his path from classroom teacher to “digital missionary,” emphasizing prayer, integrity, humility, and family balance while using social media to evangelize with clarity, joy, and real-world accountability.
