    Technology promised us better. Easier. More time. It kept its promise. So where did the time go?
    That’s not a rhetorical question. It’s the question three brilliant Catholics asked a hundred years ago, and the answer they found is the subject of the series I’m about to release.
    Five episodes. A hundred years of history. And something I think you’ve been feeling for a long time without having a name for it.

  • #160 Converts & Reverts Series - The Conversion & Reversion Story of Casey and Rachel
    Mar 9 2026

    Send a text

    Casey and Rachel met in college and fell in love. Two years later, they were married and building a life together, but something was missing. It took time to name it, yet the prescription the world offers for joy and fulfillment simply wasn't working.

    Casey had been baptized Catholic but fell away early. Rachel grew up without religion entirely. A common story, perhaps, but the series of events that led them both to the Truth is anything but ordinary. This is an episode you won't want to miss.

    Casey Dillon gave up the world's script — and found something far older and far truer.

    He's a husband, father of seven, and Headmaster of a Catholic school in the heart of Indianapolis. And on his Substack Admiratio, he's following the old roads back to the wonder we forgot — restoring real education, worthy worship, and the kind of beauty that actually satisfies the soul.

    If you're hungry for something deeper than the noise, Admiratio is worth your time.

  • #159 Converts & Reverts Series - The Conversion & Reversion Story of Jerry & Mary Kathleen
    Dec 22 2025

    Send us a text

    Jerry didn’t even know what “Catholic” meant growing up, despite finding out later that his family was Catholic but fell away before he was born. It was a Cursillo weekend that opened up a world he didn't know existed. Mary had left the Church behind, but a Cursillo retreat brought her back to the sacraments.
    Their story shows how God’s mercy and the Church’s wisdom transformed not just two individuals, but has sanctified their marriage.


    Jerry now helps other men save their marriages at CatholicAlpha.com.

    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!

  • #156 Converts & Reverts Series - The Double Conversion Story of Chris and Mariah
    Nov 24 2025

    Send us a text

    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.
