This week, we are humbled and honoured to have Estelle Nester as our guest. She is a Catholic revert, a children's book author, and wife of digital disciple Keith Nester who has 100,000+ subscribers on YouTube and whose story of conversion exploded on the internet, especially during the uncertain times of the global pandemic.
A pastor’s wife turned Catholic convert shares what it costs to follow God when your family identity, finances, and friendships are on the line. We talk through conversion, marriage unity, raising kids through religious change, and building joyful Catholic community through the Rosary and practical teaching.
• Growing up “Catholic by name” and why it felt hollow
• Discovering Bible teaching in a non-denominational church, and the pull of community
• Moving to Iowa, building a family, and living as a pastor’s wife in ministry leadership
• Keith’s long journey toward Catholicism and the moment the call became unavoidable
• The hardest fallout: confusion, lost friendships, and career uncertainty
• Downsizing, mission trips to Haiti, and learning detachment from comfort
• Returning to Holy Mass and wrestling honestly toward personal conviction
• Why the Eucharist became clear through Scripture
• Finding the Latin Mass and the gift of a unified parish community
• Building Down to Earth Ministry, responding to conversion questions, and teaching the faith practically
• Clearing up misunderstandings about Mother Mary, and helping Protestants see Catholic distinctions
• Writing Catholic children’s books to explain the Holy Mass and the Holy Rosary with simple depth
• How the daily Rosary Crew started in 2020 and became a lasting prayer family
