Edmundo Reyes joins the BeatiDudes for a rich and energizing conversation that starts with authentic fraternity at the Tiny Table and quickly moves into the deeper story of Edmundo’s life and mission. Edmundo shares his powerful conversion story, describing how a retreat at age 17 changed everything by forcing him to ask a life-altering question: What if all of this is true?
From that moment on, faith stopped being cultural background noise and became the animating purpose of his life. He reflects on growing up in Mexico, discovering that the Gospel is not just something to study but Someone to believe in, and sensing an early call to communicate the best message the world has ever heard through emerging technology and media. Along the way, he also opens up about marriage, missionary work, fleeing violence in Mexico, and how God’s providence led his family to Michigan, where they found an unexpected place of peace and belonging.
The conversation also explores Edmundo’s remarkable work in digital evangelization, from serving in the Archdiocese of Detroit to founding Digital Continent and helping to launch major initiatives such as Real + True and Seeking Beauty. He walks through the vision behind unlocking the beauty and truth of the Catechism for the modern world, the surprising ways the Vatican affirmed that mission, and why he believes the Church must dream bigger, build with excellence, and create what he calls digital cathedrals for a new era.
Throughout the episode, Edmundo challenges listeners to stop thinking small, to see calling as an invitation from God rather than a self-made career plan, and to move with confidence when the Lord opens a door. Guest Edmundo Reyes and hosts Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein deliver an episode full of humor, wisdom, missionary urgency, and hope for what faithful creativity can do in the life of the Church.
