• #110 Meet David Sanborn: Previous Pastor who Converted to The Catholic Faith
    Sep 9 2025

    Inside today's episode of The Unplanned Joyful Life Podcast, Cathy Jo has the pleasure of meeting and speaking with David Sanborn.

    David is a husband and father. He was raised in a successful and loving home. And his family loved and continues to love the Lord. David and his family became Missionaries when he was very young. And, he was able to experience the very real and obvious ways that this decision was made with his family and confirmed by the Holy Spirit. As a Missionary, He witnessed God's mercy, love and healing power. And he saw first hand saw God's saving grace bring transformation to the many in need that he and his family served. And, it is obvious that the imprint of those experiences has played an enormous part in the person David is today.

    As an adult, David became a pastor. And he loved the people he served and the opportunity to share his faith with others. In 2017, after reading, researching and praying, David converted to Catholicism. He made this choice after learning and confirming his belief that the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ. In this interview, David shares the key points that led to his decision to convert.

    This was not an easy road for David. But, he is so happy that he made that conversion. And, he continues to live his Catholic Christian faith with an "all in" attitude. He continues to share the light and love of Lord with anyone he comes into contact with.

    For more information about the Catholic church, David recommends reading or listening to Scott Hahn, Brant Pierre and father Mike Schmitz.
