Ep. #145- Why Catholic Churches Feel Just Like Wawa

Pete Dill

In this episode, I sit down with Matt Pana to hear his incredible story of faith, culture, and evangelization. Matt shares how his Filipino heritage kept his faith alive, even during seasons of doubt, and what ultimately led him to a deeper reversion to Catholicism.

We also dive into the new wave of Catholic content creators who are using media to spread the faith in fresh and engaging ways. Matt unpacks how this digital movement is helping more people encounter Christ and why authentic Catholic storytelling matters now more than ever.

If you’ve ever struggled with reconnecting to your faith or wondered how Catholic media can impact lives, this episode is for you!
