Adoption, Faith, and Catholic Puppets | Dr. Gregory Popcak | Episode #318
The BeatiDudes
Dr. Gregory Popcak is back with the BeatiDudes for a conversation that is equal parts heartfelt, surprising, and hilarious. As he shares stories from nearly 37 years of marriage, raising a faithful family, and building a life of ministry alongside his wife, Dr. Popcak opens up about family prayer, discernment, adoption, and the beauty of pursuing God’s plan together. Along the way, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein help uncover a story full of depth, joy, and more unexpected twists than anyone could have seen coming. This episode moves from the deeply moving story of adopting their daughter from China to the practical witness of keeping family at the center of ministry and travel. Dr. Popcak also shares about his daughter’s unique faith-filled college formation, his background in music, and the now-legendary reveal that puppetry has been part of his life for years. What starts as a conversation about the domestic church turns into a memorable look at vocation, family mission, and the kind of joyful Catholic life that makes holiness feel both real and attractive.
