“I never, ever, in a million years thought that would be possible.”

Joshua Charles, founder and president of Eternal Christendom, shares his deeply personal testimony of overcoming pornography addiction through the power of the daily Rosary.

In this episode of REGINA UNSCRIPTED – IN CONVERSATION, Katherine Bennett and Mark Lambert welcome Joshua Charles for a remarkable discussion about his journey from Protestantism to Catholicism, the transformative power of prayer, and the importance of remaining faithful to the Church through times of difficulty and scandal.

Joshua speaks candidly about his former struggles with pornography and impurity. Before entering the Catholic Church in 2019, a priest encouraged him to begin praying the Rosary every day, assuring him that it would help him overcome these sins.

Joshua took that advice on 1 January 2019. He explains how, through the intercession of Our Lady and a growing commitment to the sacramental life, he experienced a transformation he once believed impossible.

But his conversion was about much more than overcoming personal struggles.

Raised as a Protestant with a deep love of Scripture, Joshua began questioning the theological divisions within Protestant Christianity. His search for truth eventually led him to the writings of the early Church Fathers, where he discovered the historical and theological foundations of the Catholic Church.

The conversation also explores the challenges facing Catholics today, including the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV, the importance of reverence in the liturgy, and how Catholics should respond to scandal, confusion and suffering within the Church.

Drawing on the wisdom of St Augustine, St Gregory the Great and the early Church Fathers, Joshua offers a powerful reminder that fidelity to Christ also means fidelity to His Church, even when that Church is suffering.
