Show Notes

A single encounter with God can change everything. In this week’s episode of Girlfriends, I’m joined by Bobby Frederickson, a former missionary and co-host of The Catholic Couple Podcast, whose journey to the Catholic faith began with an unexpected invitation to midnight Mass. That night set him on a path from skepticism to wholehearted discipleship.

Bobby shares his powerful conversion story, the role of confession in his ongoing growth, and the ways he and his wife are building a family mission statement that keeps Christ at the center. We talk about the importance of intentional family life, how to live your faith in a culture that pushes against it, and why evangelization starts at home.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

* The surprising moment that sparked Bobby’s conversion

* Why the Sacrament of Reconciliation remains central to his spiritual life

* How to create a meaningful family mission statement

* Practical tips for living your Catholic faith in daily family life

* The importance of keeping evangelization simple and authentic
