How a Catholic Convert Learned to Share the Faith in Everyday Life

What does it actually look like to share the Catholic faith in everyday life? In this episode, David DiNapoli speaks with Fr. Nolan Lowry, pastor in the Diocese of Tyler, Texas: a Catholic convert who grew up in a Baptist home and now serves as a parish priest formed at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome. Fr. Nolan reflects on what it’s like to accompany people who are exploring the Catholic Church, often with real questions, real resistance, and real sacrifices. Drawing from his own conversion, pastoral experience, and formation in Rome, he offers a refreshingly human approach to evangelization. As Fr. Nolan puts it, “The Church doesn’t impose the truth. The Church proposes the truth.” This conversation touches on: What helps people take the next step toward the Church Why invitation matters more than argument How visible witness shapes a community What formation in Rome gives priests when they return home Integrating faith into ordinary parish life Whether you’re a cradle Catholic, a convert, or someone who’s ever wondered how to share the faith with others, this episode offers encouragement—and a realistic vision of evangelization lived out in everyday life.
