I’m a prodigal who was raised Presbyterian. Stopped going at 18. Now I’m 48 and doing RCIA. I read “Hail, Holy Queen” last week, and my mind is on fire. I’m thinking about scripture in a way I never have. The Holy Spirit opened my heart. Dr. Hahn and this podcast have been a major part of opening my eyes and ears - you are a blessing to the rest of us. Thank you for what you do.

Two hours of Scott Hahn being our Catholic Grandpa

If you told me just a few years ago that a hot coffee and 2 hours of a Scott Hahn PwA interview would make my morning you would have been laughed at. Glory to Jesus Christ.

Scott Hahn is one of the greatest faith teachers in the world today.

For a couple years I was suffering from depression and anxiety. What really pulled me out was praying for gratitude despite my suffering. It forced me to really think how incredible my life has really been. It's a practice I continue daily to this day.

When I met Pope Francis I asked him to pray for me and he said “PRAY FOR MMMEEEEE” it was so sweet and humble

“Love the pope and pray for the pope” Thank you Dr. Hahn!

Love Dr Hahn wish he would talk to my wife who has left the church and went to another Protestant church we’ve been fighting back and forth about each other’s beliefs in our different churches…. Please pray for us

As brand new Catholic converts trying to sort out how we fit into all this controversy in the church, this is exactly the conversation of hope my family and I needed. So very grateful to you and to Dr Hahn. Glory to Jesus Christ and may we all pray and work more deeply within our circles of control. Book ordered.

The glare off of Scott’s mic looks like an illuminated Cross…..it couldn’t be more appropriate! Scott is amazing.

I and about 10 other Catholics at my parish are reading "The Fourth Cup" in our Bible study as part of a eucharistic central book study that our bishop asked us to do for the eucharistic revival. It was our choice of book, and I suggested the fourth cup, and we are having some fantastic discussions on scripture and why it's the most central part of our faith. Thank you, Scott. For everything you do for our faith and Christianity as a whole.

Every now and then I say to my family: I would love to emigrate to the USA. When I'm asked where, I say: To Steubenville! Most people here don't know Steubenville, but the attraction now reaches all the way to Germany

Scott Hahn being more of a teacher and leader than 99% of our clergy.

Dr Hahn just exudes the Spirit. The Spirit pours forth and it’s so wonderful to listen to.

I love the point about the apostles not being dead, but part of the living church. A great reminder.

I was raised in the New Apostolic Reformation movement. Ie. Wommack, Hagin, Copeland, DuPlantis, Hinn, etc. I became an atheist in 2016. I found Jordan Peterson in 2017, and slowly became an agnostic. Now, I studied my way through reading the church fathers and listening to podcasts like this, into the Catholic Church. My wife and I are attending RCIA. Pray for her as well. I am not trying to force my beautiful Baptist wife to convert, and her heart is really starting to love the Church.

Scott Hahn came to Limerick in Ireland in 1996. I went to hear him talk and thought to myself that I had to get to Steubenville. I went to speak to Scott afterwards and told him that I would love to go to study in Steubenville. He said that I should do it. I was 31. Teaching. Had my own house. But by the Grace of God, 3 weeks later I was sitting in my first class in Steubenville. Scott Hahn was the lecturer in my first ever class there. I lived around the corner from Scott and Kimberley. I loved my year there. I learnt so much and it was so great to be steeped in Catholic culture. Thank God for that opportunity.

Our ladyf Kibeho foretod the genocide of Rwanda and after so many years of not asking her to pray for me, i asked God and he guided me on research and now i do pray the 7 sorrows of Mary

The Hahn children and grandchildren are so so blessed ❤

Dr Hahn talking about moving to “the armpit” and how wonderful the catholic community is there and me realizing that we did the same. We moved into our homestead in the middle of east Texas and our parish is alive and thriving here. I prayed to find our new home in a good parish and God answered that prayer. Our Bishop Strickland, our fathers Gavin and Reymundo and our little nuns Andrea, Inocencia and Providencia are saintly shepherds to us. The members of the parish welcoming and involved, it’s a jewel and I’m grateful every day God put is here. My husband of 35+ years is doing gets Confirmed today, at the age of 60. And I know our parish deserves full credit for it. My prayers have been answered and I give thanks to Our Loving Mother, the saints and angels prayers and all Glory to God, the Father the Son and The Holy Spirit. Pray Hope and Don’t Worry. -Padre Pio

Thank you Dr. Hahn for awaking the Faith in us. May God bless you and your family, abundantly.

Forgiving one’s parent was discussed in this interview. I’m in my late 60s. I spent almost my entire life trying to come to a place where I could forgive my parents. I have a brother who’s in his mid-70s and a sister also in that age range. My sister has come close to forgiving my parents, but my brother still struggles with it. I turned the lens of compassion on my parents a long time ago. My father passed over 30 years ago, and my mother passed more than 10 years ago. They suffered from PTSD. They were born and lived in a time when there was a little understanding of what trauma did to people. As a result, they were not able to understand that they needed to restrain their behavior. They traumatized each and everyone of their children; of which there were six. Each of them has walked through this life with some sort of baggage. I don’t think the individual can come to a place where they can force themselves to truly forgive. This act of forgiveness took me almost until the age I am now. I agree that through prayer and loving Christ, while trying to understand that his teaching brings one to a place where forgiveness is possible. This is true forgiveness however. It’s not intellectual. This is where, when one recalls the things that happened to them, they no longer relive the suffering. For me, if I think about them and various history, which I do from time to time, it’s more as if the things that happened to me actually happened to someone else. I’m not in denial. I’ve just moved on. I think I’ve experienced enough healing in my own life that I can now attend to other things. It’s a freeing thing as people have often spoken of, about forgiveness. But it’s freeing in this respect, one is now free to no longer be dogged by the trauma they endured years before, and they are free to live their lives as each day comes.

I'm going to add a new budget category, specifically for purchasing ALL of Dr. Hahn's books. Life-changing would be an understatement. No words. Thank you for having him on your show again!!!

Odd timing. I just bought a house with my husband. We are already planning a small homstead and working on setting stuff up to help family. My husband and I are the only stable relationship currently in both his family and mine and we are the oldest. We know it's our job to take care of everyone else when our parents go. We are the tradition holders and the only source of stability for family in need. And it's weird to think about. We have really been thinking about the future a lot.

The first time I heard Scott Hahn almost a year ago.... I realized what I had been missing in my Christian life. I listened to Scott debate a Protestant and wow.... I agreed with everything Scott said. I was like " why haven't I ever heard this before in my christian life" I owe it to Scott Hahn , Brant Pitre and Chrisopher West for bringing me the word of truth and for showing me my body was to worship the Lord. I'm probably not making any sense ( Christopher West would probably understand me lol) I'm grateful to my son and daughter in law for bringing it up in conversation one evening at home that sent me into a frantic freak out mode... that I was losing my son... to who knows what. I couldn't sleep after that conversation and listened and listened and listened and with 24-48 hours I knew I had to become Catholic. It's all in the Eucharist ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you again. Thank you Lord for waiting for me. I love you so much. Now I pray and pray for the rest of my family.

I am so grateful for Dr. Hahn and his love for Scripture and service to Christ's Church. Thanks be to God for his life and generosity.

Ask Jesus to enter into every painful situation and acknowledge his being inside of me and offer up my pain.

Dr. Hahn spoke at our catechetical conference a few years ago. He signed his book, The Lamb’s Supper and personalized it to my Baptist minister Dad who never tried to dissuade me from my journey to Holy Mother Church.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊️

Just Love Dr Hahn, been listening back in the day on EWTN on podcasts... he is amazing, still on fire for the Lord.... makes my heart sing. The Truth, so gentle, so loving... God works through this man and it is wonderful and uplifting. A true witness.

More and more lately, I feel like God is connecting all the dots in my life. The depth of His Love and His magnificent Wisdom provided through Sacred Scriptures has given me every bit a sense of peace despite the storms all around. He has revealed His very self to us. Praise be to God.

If they ever do a Ten Commandments remake, this is the guy who should say, "Moses". What an authoritative voice, Dr Hahn has

Our Lady of LaSalette, pray for us.

I have had the great pleasure of meeting Dr. Hahn, Kimberly and Patrick Madrid at events over the past 20 years. I feel so blessed and thankful that I did. They were instrumental in my conversion to Catholicism almost 30 years ago. If you have a chance to see the Hahn's at an event near you, go see them. You won't regret it. (Unfortunately Patrick Madrid has retired from most public speaking events now.)

Dr Hahn is on fire 🔥 with so much love for God ❤

Sou brasileiro e sempre que escuto o Dr. Hahn fico maravilhado. Sei que ele já criou uma parceria aqui no Brasil com o Professor Felipe Aquino e gostaria de pedir que traduzissem esses livros para o Português. Muito obrigado ao Dr. Hahn e ao Sr. Fradd pelo grande trabalho!

"When we leave metaphysics all that is left is politics." Yes!!!

How I would have loved to have been a Hahn child! God bless you Dr. Scott Hahn and all that you do for us, and for our Church! ⚘️

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us, sinners!

Dr. Hahn is an incredible speaker and has such zeal for the faith. When he was speaking about how people forsake heaven for the world, I couldn't help but think of what St. Augustine said about our restless hearts: "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”

❤❤❤I just saw the retract that Dr. Scott Hahn posted this morning regarding his statement in this video about the Pope not being the center of Church. I came back here to watch this interview again. See and hearing his original statement in full context I don't disagree with it in the least, it is a opinion based on education, scripture, tradition and truth. I really appreciate Dr. Hahn and Matt Fradd, their time, effort and love for Catholicism and their zeal to share the love of Christ. P. s. I really wonder what drove his apology. Real.....or who..😮

Family jubilee part made me cry, this is so beautiful. I pray to be married to such a man that takes inspiration from the our Heavenly Father.

Watching from Brazil. Fascinated. Could listen to Scott Hahn endless hours... It s wonderful how he is human and able to get right to the point of all questions we can have, with such clarity, but with such saintity that makes him - in my eyes - the most blessed man I can imagine living in these times. God bless Scott Hahn for being such a light.

I’m so glad I heard this conversation. It struck me while listening that these two men, despite their evident intellectual prowess and knowledge, also share deep personal humility. This seems to me to be a increasingly rare and under valued quality these days. Dr Hahn is always inspiring and I felt Matt was the perfect interviewer. From his own humility and experience he was able to ask just the right follow-up questions. Thank you both so much for enriching my morning. (From a Scottish Glaswegian in England)

I cannot wait until I'm done with my studies and I can spend all my time reading the marvelous books Dr. Scott Hahn has written and suggested... And so I can have the time to also evangelize and teach confirmation classes at my parish! In Gods timing:)

I'm forever grateful for Steve Wood who took the time to speak to me and back in the early 90's about coming Home 🙏 I believe that Steve Wood was one of the guys that Kimberly Hahn called to stop Scott Hahn from becoming a Catholic. 😂😂😂 They both became Catholic Men who are helping Many people come back Home ☝️👍🙏 Viva Cristo Rey

"Why don't we get taught that?" I say the same thing about training workers. It is as if we just want to get them through so they can be functional not proficient. It is the sad truth with our system of reaching a sacramental milestone in the church. It is sort of a graduation to get to Confirmation. Everything else is grad school. It should never feel as if we are done. it is a lifelong journey. Thank you Dr. Hahn for your books. They have opened so much to my understanding of our faith.

O glorious THRONE of GRACE, IMMACULATE HEART of MARY, JOY of the EUCHARISTIC HEART of JESUS, TRIUMPH & REIGN in ALL hearts.

I love the day of Jubilee thing for parents. That's such a awesome idea 🤣💖

Thank you Scott for supporting Pope Francis! He is a wonderful and humble pope. ❤

Scott Hahn conversion story is so inspiring. Protestant considering catholicism. Currently living with my anti Catholic parents house and thus they attend (me with them) a very anti Catholic church.

I love RC Sproul, I learned so much from him and Gerstner’s videos. They gave me a foundation in theology that allowed me to even consider Catholicism in the first place.

I’m working outside in my yard with my bluetooth listening to him, his conversion, etc., here I’m not tired pulling weeds. I’m listening to Steve Ray, too.

I am not Catholic, but I am getting Dr. Hahn's new book. Great talk. I have been watching your channel and really enjoy it. Thank you.

My Mom read all the time. At the end of her life, she said she wished she didn't read as much and lived more. Interesting epiphany = Love people, holy community and Pray and Play!

Wow. Just Freaking awesome! Water for the person dying of thirst. Truth is therapy.

Dear Dr. Hahn, I am not a real person. My mother told me that when I was a baby I had meningitis and did this something to my brain. I could never learn I had a hard time learning in school specially, at the time they weren't aware of people having ADHD I suffered so much because of this, and even though I went through all that I still manage to have a normal life I did the best I could I had a beautiful wedding. I was very much in love when I got married.! but the only problem in my head was the learning disability! Everything for me was very hard, even when I was learning to drive the teacher was nasty with me because I had a hard time understanding! So this is what I went through all my life people belittle me teachers treating me nasty! And after the virus, I was all alone completely! I divorce my husband because he was a womanizer! Then I met somebody who wanted to marry me! But instead he used me I love you with me! So I'm here alone again! My daughters didn't talk to me! Because survive different opinion! And now I am overwhelmed! I cannot get out of bed! I need help please help me! Thank you😢😢😢😢😢😢

KZfaq needs an option where we can "Like" a video repeatedly! Thank you for this beautiful and faithful conversation. Pax!

What a beautiful interview. Scott Hahn is a treasure. ❤

Yay, excited for this release. Thankyou!

Love both of you. May the Lord bless your ministries!

Gotta love Dr. Hahn - good man, thanks Matt for bringing him on again.

Wow! Mary! Beautifully explained ❤

God Bless Steubenville, OH.

Looking forward to reading Dr. Hahn's commentary on the Old Testament.

This episode was just such a blessing, thank you both so much, praise be to God.

Thankyou dr.han for your knowledge that is so inspirational to many of us.amen amen .god bles you❤❤

Thank you for this. All Christians need to hear this but especially is Catholics… Scott Hahn always puts things into perspective in the best of ways and Matt Fradd WITH Scott Hahn is a perfect pairing.

Year of jubilee...how beautiful to know you are loved.

For/on my next vacation, i want to go to Scott's library. With that out of the way, i can now watch the video.

I so needed this talk tonight. Scott Hahn's cool head and calm voice on the pope's garbage and his followers helped me calm down and breathe. I need to hear this on the regular for my sanity.

Awesome video with awesome catholic advice god bless y’all 🙏✝️🇻🇦🇺🇸⛪️🦅❤️

Dr Hahn 💃🏼💃🏻🍾yeah two of my favorite people, 3 Thursday tooo😂

I love Scott Hahn. He brings it all together.

"If Catholics simply lived the grace of the sacrament of matrimony, in one generation we'd have a transformed culture."

Thank you Matt for having Dr Hahn and yourself explain so many things. It was helpful and speaking of gratefulness today I am also grateful for listening to you both, thank you for your consideration of all people who day by day live the experience of the consequence of the ambiguities and misguidance pouring in buckets from Rome, please pray for RC school's students occasionally - much needed.

Great, excited for this!

Honestly, this was probably one of the best overall interviews Matt has done. As a young man aspiring to be a father, I am so grateful for this one. Thank you!

Purchased Dr. Hahn’s new book! Very excited to break into it once it arrives :)

Dr. Scott Hahn is really Dr. Spot-On. Appreciate this interview and loved his audio talks.

Thank you so much. Scott Hahn was instrumental 30 years ago in my faith journey. It’s been a while since I have read or listened to him. Glad to catch up and I will be following him more closely and hope to listen to him on audible or wherever he sells his audio recordings of his books. And thank you as i am a new fairly new follower and enjoy you and your interviews.

excellent gracious response from Fradd at 56 minutes after Hahn gets carried away with abstract blather ("there's one Church, there's one Church" - yeah, there is, dogmatically speaking; so what?) at 56 minutes. Hahn certainly does love to talk!

I very fondly recall Dr. Hahn's "Intro to Scripture" class at Franciscan University back in the 1990's...he has been a great teacher of the Faith for a long time...

So wonderful hearing this conversation today . Thank you lord fiat fiat fiat Jesus desires us all to live in his Divine Will thanksgiving

Dr Hahn you are a physician of the Soul God bless you 🙏

Always good to hear Dr Scott.

Wonderful intimate conversation between 2 friends... I will listen over and over.

I already know I need to listen to this more than two or three times

Father, thank you!!!!!!

Man, what a gift this man is. What will we ever do without him!?

Thank you for a great Podcast episode!

I am praying for our “TradCats;” those young traditional Catholics who want to personally correct for those of us who fell away into the disordered lives that were informed by the failures of the ideology of the “me first” sexual revolution. We (catholic men especially) dropped the ball big time and failed our society by our selfish motives. However we can support this fledgling group of young marrieds in their efforts to turn this around and fix the mess we all made I am all for.

Thank you Dr. Hahn. An entire generation, perhaps two, thank you. Your love of God and scripture has changed the Church for the better.

Unfortunately this conversation has the negative trait of most deep Catholic conversations. It completely ignores us single Catholics who are not married (have no kids either). Everything is always focused on marriage to the point of excluding those of us who do not get to experience it. It’s never in history been harder to date while sticking to Catholic values, but don’t expect the Catholic public figures to do anything to include those of us who are in that boat. It gets very hurtful after a while.

GOD BLESS YOU

Doing my second round of the video 😅 ❤ thank you for having Scott Hahn. Please tell him there isn't enough videos of Kimberly Hahn for us women online x

41:51 I say something similar when I give Thanks to God - I thank him for all he had given me and all he had taken away.

Today I became Catholic ❤️

It was a real treat to hear about kard. Wyszyński 🙏 you probably have heard that, but he was beatified in 2021 🎉 a true rock star here in Poland

The bit that starts at about 1:00 is brilliant where he compares the world to an appetizer with which our fallen natures may become sated and never show up at the banquet which is Heaven (my poor paraphrasing).

I so agree with Scott Hahn, and books
