In this third installment of the Converts & Reverts series, Josh interviews Cara about her revert story and how her parents’ divorce disrupted her childhood formation in the faith. Before the interview, Josh examines the tragic reality of divorce in Catholic families, the statistics, the Church’s teaching, and the lasting spiritual wounds that can persist for decades. But this episode is ultimately about hope: how God can reach into broken formations and call His children home.

Episode 2 of the Converts and Reverts Series starts off with some confusion and ends with a truth that resonates the hearts of each of us that are searching for a deeper connection with the roots of our faith. I know I am a bit biased because of my friendship with this couple but the conversation in the end with Our Mother Mary touched my soul in a way that I will never forget! God is so very good and He guides us in ways that show us daily that He is King! Thank you again Jeff and Hope for sharing your story. Wow!

We launch the Converts & Reverts series with Chris and Mariah - a young married couple whose journeys to the Catholic faith didn’t begin together, but ended in the same place. Mariah entered the Church in 2013. Chris had no faith life at all, but he carried a quiet curiosity and a whole list of reasons to stay on the sidelines.

What he didn’t know was that his brother/sister-in-law, and their kids had been praying him toward the Church for years. Then came an unexpected invitation to an Armor of God men’s retreat that broke through every hesitation.

By Easter 2024, Chris entered the Church and their family stepped into a new chapter of faith together.

A simple, honest story of prayer, grace, and how God draws a man home.

Converts & Reverts is a multi-part series on the Belt of Truth Podcast hosted by Josh Bach.

Each episode shares a real story of someone who drifted, fell, or walked away and the moment God called them back.

These are raw, honest accounts of grace breaking through collapse, featuring men and women who found their way home to the Catholic faith.

Alongside their stories, the saints remind us that conversion isn’t a one-time event, it’s the pattern of every soul God loves back to life.

You’re holding an ancient map. Walked by saints and sinners for thousands of years.

But a map is useless unless you trust the One who drew it.

In Chapter 3 of The Saints’ Path, Josh Bach explores the Biblical and theological foundations of the seven phases rooted in the story of salvation itself. From Israel and Peter to Augustine and Thérèse, the same divine rhythm unfolds: ease, forgetfulness, sin, hardship, repentance, strength, and watchfulness.

The pattern is ancient. The grace is real. The path is clear.

Now walk.

Mary said yes. Joseph said yes. In this powerful closing episode, Josh and Cara Bach sit down with their seven children to share their family’s adoption story, a living reflection of the Gospel. This is a call for the Church to learn, support, and say “yes” to adoption, just as the Holy Family did.
