If you’ve ever wondered why people are flocking back to tradition — incense, Latin, pilgrimage, ritual, reverence — you’re gonna want to hear what a former Hollywood actor discovered across Spain that most Catholics have never seen.

What happens when a Hollywood actor spends years chasing truth… and finds it in the last place he expected?

In this week’s episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, Bobby sits down with Austin Peck — former soap-opera star turned Catholic storyteller — for a raw, fascinating, and deeply human conversation about his journey from Hollywood sets to the heart of the Church.

After a powerful conversion, Austin dove into Scripture, wrestled with Christian identity, and walked a long road through evangelicalism. But the deeper he searched, the more he was drawn toward something ancient, rooted, and shockingly alive: Catholic Tradition.

Now, Austin is helping the world rediscover it.

He joins us to talk about his newest project with Mass of the Ages: the all-new series Discover Tradition, where he serves as host and co-producer. In Episode 1, Austin travels across Spain during Holy Week, uncovering the breathtaking rituals, devotions, and cultural expressions that point to the depth and beauty of the Catholic faith.

🔥 Why You’ll Want to Listen

This episode explores:
 • Austin’s Hollywood-to-Catholicism conversion — and the surprising moments that changed everything
• Why so many Christians are being drawn back to Tradition in a world that feels unmoored
• Behind the scenes of Discover Tradition and what makes this series different from anything Mass of the Ages has done before
• The power of embodied faith — processions, penance, beauty, and why Spain’s Holy Week hits so deeply
• What Austin learned about masculinity, meaning, and mission by rediscovering the ancient practices of the Church
• Why Tradition isn’t “going backward,” but going deeper

Most Christians believe in God… but don’t actually believe God. 🤯

In this powerful episode, Bobby sits down with Chris Rogers, writer for Catholic Exchange and author of two deep-dive articles on Moralistic Therapeutic Deism (MTD) — the fake religion that’s quietly replacing authentic Christianity in our culture.

We unpack how this modern heresy has twisted the faith into a “feel-good” spirituality where God becomes a distant helper, only called upon in crisis — not a loving Father to be known, trusted, and obeyed.

💬 Topics we cover:

• What exactly is Moralistic Therapeutic Deism?
• How it’s crept into Catholic homes, schools, and parishes
• Why “being nice” isn’t the same as being holy
• How to reclaim a faith that’s real, raw, and rooted in Jesus Christ

🔥 If you’ve ever wondered why so many Christians seem “spiritual but shallow,” this conversation will open your eyes.

In this gripping episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, we dive deep into the mysterious and powerful world of exorcisms, Catholic spirituality, and spiritual warfare with author Charles Fraune author of the riveting new book from Sophia Institute Press: The Most Powerful Saints in Exorcisms: What Exorcists Want You to Know. 

Drawing from real-life stories of saints, priests, and exorcists, Charles and Patrick reveal how the Church has always stood on the front lines of the battle between God and Satan, equipping the faithful with sacramentals, prayer, and the intercession of the saints. Discover how figures like St. Benedict, St. Padre Pio, St. Joseph, and Our Lady have been powerful protectors against demons and the powers of darkness.

We discuss:

• Why exorcists turn to certain saints during spiritual combat.
• The role of the Rosary, Holy Water, the Sacraments, and sacramentals in driving out evil.
• How the saints model courage in battling demons and what we can learn from their victories.
• The reality of spiritual warfare and how every Catholic is called to “slay dragons” in daily life.
• Why the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary is considered the most feared weapon against Satan.
