Wow man, knocked it out of the park. I’m 20 and I’d say this was spot on. At the age of 19 I was a lukewarm Catholic at best but once I got some of the difficult questions answered I did a 180, or rather God caused the 180 inside of me, and I’ve never been the same. It’s been a year and some change of me denying myself, failing, going to confession, denying myself and so on until I’m finally able to get rid of whatever sin was plaguing me. I actually pray in my own home now and read the Bible. All because some difficult questions were answered.

It starts with praying together and reading them the Bible and answering their questions.

I'm still in the process of reverting back to Catholicism. Recently i remembered the thing that absolutely kicked the legs out from under my faith: a 9th grade (2001) public school history class that made us learn a completely one-sided version of the Protestant "Reformation". Our history book may as well have been written by Martin Luther himself, it was just so explicitly anti Catholic! I didn't have any ammunition to fight what were very biased and outrageous claims, and instead i came away from that class believing the Catholic Church was stupid, evil, and hypocritical.

Many kids don’t have the solid religious background they need. Kids materialize this earth too much, they don’t look forward, they may be mad at God for taking their parents from them, they don’t realize this life is not our life, our new life in heaven with God is unexplainably beautiful

I had a friend who was raised Catholic but became agnostic as an adult. We talked about Catholicism all the time, and he told me if he’d known me when he was younger, he’d probably still be Catholic, and I’m by no means a theologian! He said in CCD, when he’d ask the nuns why Catholics did what we do, they’d answer “Just because!”

Pray for my daughter Rachel Jimenez she's 16 and she is struggling with the faith. I do what I can as a Catholic Mother. God bless

Wow! I was deeply moved and touched by your wonderful message Bryan More Merciful! I consider you a modern-day St. Francis de Sales. But I doubt if St. Francis used also reverse psychology in evangelizing people. ha ha ha! But in fairness, your using reverse psychology works for you and for the people you are ministering. ha ha. Keep doing the mission God has entrusted to you. I feel St. Francis de Sales is so happy with the way you serve the Lord through your neighbor! Thank you for inspiring and teaching me and so many people the things that we don't know about drawing people to God and the Church effectively! God bless you and your ministry, Bro. Bryan! 😊😇🙏❤

Thank you much for this! I am a Catholic evangelist and some of the first things you said are exactly what we teach. 1) Answer

Well said! While I did grow up Catholic I always considered myself to be an agnostic until my junior year of high school, and then I kinda felt like a lukewarm Catholic that kinda contemplated falling away from the faith, it was quite honestly the worst period in my life, until I my 3rd year in college when I transferred schools I came across missionaries from a group called FOCUS and they played such a pitiful role in my life that I owe everything I have to them in playing a pivotal role in my reversion, had I not met them I quite honestly think I would be dead or still living the degenerate life I was living. I’m 24 now, in the process of joining the Third Order Dominicans and am on fire about the faith.

I was the classic case you talk about Bryan, given lacking “education” in CCD, my own mother taught it and when I had simple questions even she, the teacher, had no answers. I thought I knew everything about Catholicism and thought it was frail and weak because of the portrait I was given about it by my CCD and lack of support. It led me to a dark path of atheism but by the grace of God I have been led back. Now I realize I wasn’t the only one and I’m sad to learn there are so many kids who are like I was. I’m still a new revert to Catholicism but I would love to one day be strong enough in my faith to be a CCD teacher so I can save kids from falling away like I did. Actually have answers for their questions, teach them the fullness and truth of our faith. I can’t wait to keep learning about our amazing faith!

Thank you so much, just ordered the book did Jesus have a last name. Hoping it will help my nieces. Like many catholic families in Ireland they get baptised, first confession communion etc seeing it as a day for a party and gifys mainly but only go to church on what their mom calls special occasion. Their mom is very religious but going to mass weekly no.

Pope Benedict said in Youcat that young people are not as superficial as you might suppose, they have serious questions. I have found this as a catechist teacher. We must deeply respect their curiosity and take the time and trouble to answer their questions.

The faith needs to be presented as something that guides every action of every day. Memorizing trivia and being able to regurgitate it on a test does not work. Kids need to have a solid foundation of biblical study and historical context to appreciate the faith and how it has come to grow. I can say from experience that after simply memorizing facts and not knowing how to apply them to the world, I didn't really care about the faith or growing in it. It wasn't until I started reading the Bible, making an effort to understand what was going on at Mass, and actually praying every day that things started to turn around.

Amazing video Brian! This has been on my mind a lot lately because I am a new catholic and I'm assisting in faith formation on Sunday's, everything you said is so true! The teens are SO lost these days and it breaks my heart cause these are some dark times we are in and so many of them are just depressed and confused. I definitely am learning from your approach and this video on how I can better help these kids because they truly need it. God bless!

Brian, my son and I are in rcia currently. He’s 17 and I find it very sad that out church doesn’t have an actual youth group for young people his age. There’s no Sunday school, nothing! It’s a small farming community so not sure if that’s why. Is this a common thing amongst most CCs?

Da youts* need to understand the Holy Spirit is there whether His Presence can be felt or not. Archbishop Sheen once spoke about young people claiming to get nothing from going to Mass - but Sheen challenged them to bring something TO Mass; their hopes, problems, dreams, and most of all to bring a heart open to Christ.
