Brother Justin Hibbard was a Baptist pastor for 11 years—preaching, leading churches, and living the Protestant life—until something felt deeply missing. During COVID, when church became just a camera on the pastor, he realized: “This is not Church.” That emptiness pushed him to search the early Church Fathers, history, and the real teachings of Jesus. What he discovered changed everything: the Catholic Church is the one true Church founded by Christ.

In this powerful episode of Istoryang Katoliko, Brother Justin openly shares: “I was a Baptist pastor for over a decade… until I found the fullness of the faith in the Catholic Church. It cost me dearly—including my marriage—but I would not trade it for anything.”

We talked about why Protestant church felt empty even after 11 years of ministry, the moment he realized the list of what he wanted in a church was exactly what the Catholic Church already has, the beauty of the Real Presence in the Eucharist that made him feel like he finally came home, the deep pain and spiritual attacks that came after his conversion, and why he now says: “Where else would I go? You have the words of eternal life.” He also explained how suffering with Christ is not a sign of failure, but proof you are following Him closely.

If you ever wonder why some people leave everything behind to enter the Catholic Church, even when it hurts so much, watch this episode. You will see that finding the truth of Jesus in His one true Church is worth any cross we carry.
