Did he say convert? Aren’t all priests born and raised Catholic?

This week on Echoing the Call, Fr. Will welcomes Fr. Travis Seagraves for a compelling conversation about faith, conversion, and vocation. Fr. Travis shares not only his journey to the Catholic priesthood but also the remarkable story of his conversion from the Baptist tradition to the Catholic Church.

Not every priest grows up Catholic, and Fr. Travis’s story is a powerful reminder that God calls people from every walk of life. As he reflects on the questions, challenges, and moments of grace that led him to embrace the Catholic faith and eventually the priesthood, listeners will discover how God patiently guides those who seek the truth. Whether you are exploring the Catholic faith, discerning your own vocation, or simply love hearing inspiring conversion stories, this episode is sure to encourage and strengthen your faith.
