The Cordial Catholic 326: An Anti-Catholic Pastor's "Mass" Conversion (w/ Aaron Gunsaulus)
In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Aaron Gunsaulus, the anti-Catholic, Calvinist pastor who became Catholic – although with 17 of his friends from the church he pastored!
This is an amazing story. Aaron is a good friend of another good friend of the show, former Protestant Pastor Keith Nester, and the way their stories are connected is incredible.
Aaron tells that story and explains how being "fair" to the Catholic Church began to soften his outlook and, ultimately, lead to not only his conversion but the conversion of his wife, one of their children (another is in RCIA), and 17 of their friends from their former church. It's an outrageous story!
To follow Aaron check out his Substack and follow him on X.
