10 Years Catholic: What We’re Grateful For, and What Still Surprises Us (#457)
In this special conversation episode, Greg sits down with his friend and longtime collaborator Cory to mark the 10th anniversary of the night they both entered the Catholic Church together at the Easter Vigil in 2016. They share what they’re most grateful for after a decade—everything from the life-shaping rhythm of the sacraments and liturgical year, the communion of saints, the beauty that feeds the soul, and the simple joy of feeling truly “at home” in any Catholic parish on earth, to the doctrinal clarity and sense of vocation that have steadied their families. Greg also offers candid thoughts from his unique vantage point as a former Protestant pastor: the things that turned out even richer than he expected (deeper prayer and devotion, the dedication of our priests, the Church’s surprising integrity and resilience) and a few honest challenges he’s seen along the way. With warmth, gratitude, and zero sugar-coating, this episode is an encouraging look at what it really means to live the Catholic faith over the long haul. Whether you’re still investigating the Church or you’ve been in it your whole life, you’ll walk away refreshed and reminded why the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church is worth everything.
