Most Protestants avoid exploring the deep history of Christianity because confronting its roots can feel like an identity crisis. And yet, the truth might be more sacred than you ever imagined. In this episode, I’m sharing some personal things I experienced as I wrestled with the decision to become Catholic. 

This episode isn't just a conversation; it's an invitation to challenge assumptions, shed pride, and consider whether rediscovering the original faith might be the missing piece in your spiritual journey. Whether you're curious or committed, you'll gain a new perspective on what it really means to follow Christ as the early Christians did… without the filters of centuries of misunderstanding.

Anna Sutton, one of the co-host of The Catholic Everywoman Podcast, joins us to explore one of the most debated questions in modern Christianity: what is the role of women in the Church?🤔

Anna shares her personal journey from a non-denominational evangelical upbringing to Catholicism, explaining how her conversion shaped her understanding of Scripture, the sacraments, Mary, and the papacy. We discuss the Southern Baptist Convention’s stance on women pastors, why so many Protestant women feel boxed in, and how the Catholic Church offers a different vision—one that honors women’s gifts without flattening them into a single role.

FOREWARNING❗️we also get a little PG-13 and talk about motherhood, marriage, fertility, and Natural Family Planning in this episode. 

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about faith, womanhood, Church authority, or where truth is found, this episode offers an honest and encouraging conversation you won’t want to miss!

So many people have reached out to me to ask, “what made you consider Catholicism in the first place?” So, here we go…

In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing the timeline of events that made me start questioning EVERYTHING. What began with questions surrounding false 2020 election prophecies, accountability within modern Christianity, and Charlie Kirk’s devastating assassination ultimately led me to search for the roots of original Christianity.

Whether you're Protestant, Catholic, or just simply a truth seeker like me, this episode offers an honest testimony about laying down long-held beliefs at the feet of Jesus.

Keith Nestor, a Catholic author, speaker, and podcaster, shares his journey from anti-Catholic Evangelical pastor to full-time spokesperson and educator for the Catholic Faith through his ministry, Down to Earth. 

This episode tackles head-on common misconceptions that keep many from embracing church unity including papal authority, human infallibility, Mary’s Immaculate Conception and perpetual virginity, and the true meaning of worship.

If you’ve found yourself asking, “Is the Catholic Church truly founded on Scripture?” or trying to navigate doubts about church authority and tradition, this is the honest, biblical journey you need to hear.

51:18 The Sacramental Worldview: Heaven Meets Earth

No, I’m not Catholic... BUT I had to make this video to share what I’ve observed and learned so far. In American Protestant churches, I had never really been taught about church history prior to the reformation. After doing a deep dive for myself, I realized - I know too much now. And I can’t go back to what I didn’t know. What a rich, beautiful, exciting, sometimes lonely journey this has been - discovering a treasure trove of truth into the history of the Christian faith that I love so much. 

To quote the 19th century theologian and Catholic convert John Henry Newman, “To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.”

Throughout my journey of researching the Catholic faith I’ve been particularly captivated by conversion stories. This week I have the pleasure of sitting down with Brian Tran, a.k.a. “Catholic Brian” - a former Protestant missionary who served in some of the world's most persecuted regions, now dedicated to sharing the Catholic faith through social media!

His testimony reveals how deep study, divine encounters, and unwavering obedience can lead even the most skeptical souls to the transformative power of Christ in the Eucharist, Mary, and the early Church’s teachings.

This episode is a MUST-listen for anyone seeking to understand the beauty and depth of Catholic tradition. Whether you’re a seasoned believer or just beginning your spiritual journey, Brian’s story will inspire you to keep seeking TRUTH, trust in divine mercy, and realize that the fullness of Christ’s Church has been walking with us through history.
