CATHOLIC: Where My Wife Found Peace

In today’s episode, “Catholic: Where My Wife Found Peace,” you’ll hear Josh share a part of his family’s story that he hasn’t told publicly until now. It’s the story of his wife Holly’s entrance into the Catholic Church, a journey that culminated in the year following his cancellation.

This wasn’t a reaction to the firestorm, and it wasn’t a sudden change of direction. It was the fruit of a long, quiet pull, more than a decade of prayer, formation, and a growing love for the liturgy, the sacraments, and the life of the Church.

Josh and I will reflect on Holly’s experience, how she lived through the firestorm alongside him, what it was like to watch it unfold from the inside, and how, in the year that followed, she found a deep sense of peace within the Catholic tradition.

We’ll also speak honestly about the challenges and gifts of being a Protestant pastor and a Catholic spouse: how Josh and Holly have learned to navigate family life, church life, and shared faith across real differences.

This episode is about celebrating faithfulness, honoring conscience, and living into Christ’s unifying love for marriage and for the church.
