true, when they study the Christian faith and history.

Indeed they do! They bring a passion and a zeal that puts to shame a lot of Christian-lite Catholics.

Yes we do haha

Yeah when they want to become BLIND AND LOST

They do, but let's not go overboard. Protestantism is like a mustard stain on a shirt, no matter how hard you try getting it out, you never can get it all out. I know converts to Catholicism who still retain some of the false teachings of the protestants. We must continue to pray for everyone.

Thanks much for sharing. It empowers me somehow. May their bravery and sacrifice set an example for us in today's setting. Because sadly, we could tend to forget history and its lessons. Gradually, to put their selflessness and courage in vain.

God bless you and your father ❤🙏 and thanks to him and many more we are here.

It's a shame that you have people who don't revere Mary the mother of Jesus. She brought us the redeemer, gave him his DNA. Wake up people !!!

WOO HOO!!!! Welcome Home from a former Baptist! I converted to Christ's Catholic Church in 1987. Christus Vincit!

This program was very interesting. Thank you and may the Lord bless you and your programs.

So very true. Proud to have heard this grace filled interview. God bless Keith, Travis, Shannon and all involved!

Women should find prayerful men like them...God will bless your family with more

Very full filling.thank you. I am Catholic.Blessings!!

This is amazing. They're talking about their conversions based on their higher theological learnings. I am a born Catholic and consider myself lucky not to research anymore to find this true religion. My belief is solely anchored through the Eucharist and church teachings and personal experiences of Jesus and Mama Mary and devotions and reflections on the lives of Saints and observance of age old practices and traditions of Catholics. Praise God.

In your charity, please help a fellow child of Mary in the Middle East. God bless you.

🙏❤️Welcome home!

Welcome to paganism.

Religion is a sin.

​@@Lerian_Vyou're not a child of Mary. That's blasphemous.

@@ochem123 good to know! I’ll check it out, thank you!

I’m also a convert from Oklahoma . . .you realize there’s actually a lot of Catholics running around once you learn how to spot them! 😊

Thank you!

Coming in from the JWs--wow what a conversion!!!!!

@@michelleishappy4036 thanks 😊 I tell people and I don’t think they understand the chasm 😆

I was raised JW as well I am learning about the Catholic Faith and love it ❤❤❤

​​ Conversion, yes, but culmination of a truth-seeking journey, right? Welcome home.

@@maryqcarnes4482 yes exactly!! I actually had to prove to my self if Christianity was it. Before that I went into Greek philosophy, Buddhism, learned Joseph Campbells heroes journey and then when I got into Christianity I found out about the early church and the fathers and that there basically catholic. The whole time I was praying to god to help me discern the spirits and it seemed to me I was being lead to Catholicism over and over again

If that's what conversion looks like, I'm done evangelising. Bleed on my damned shirt... No thanks!! I'll tell people the gospel from the other side of the room!

Wow same here I'm a cradle Catholic was a lazy 1 at it around 15 started living with my dad, parents Were Catholic and divorced? I was a troubled teen. My dad didn't attend mass so I didn't either. 1 day on one of my long drives to work, I tuned in & listened to Charles Stanley ,Tony Evans. Adrian Roger's, Derek Prince, and I would tune in every day I started watching TBN & Daystar Then Pastor Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyers, Rabbi Schneider... i started going to Pentecostale invitations and some non denominational tent meetings , would attend street Evangelization, lots of yelling it wasn't till a best friend of mine Seventh day Adventist would not eat certain foods, would not do anything Friday evenings nor Saturday I was intrigued about what SDA Believe and I was shocked so I started to refute him SDA doctrines. Then JW and Mormons. Watching all the sermon, lectures, debates I could with like James White and other till I noticed they would debate Catholics listening and taking notes 📝 and praying I started to notice that I was missing out on the fullness of our faith. To rap it up I returned home to the Catholic church and my family now are protestantes. And they tell me I'm lost and to please get out. Prayers for them and all our family and friends who think the same.

Welcome Home sister. It is SO beautiful to have such a passionate love and gratitude for all of Jesus' most beautiful Church, The Father's plan for the world, and as for me most of my life. What saddens me is the hatred that a vast amount of noncatholic Christians have against Jesus's Holy Catholic Church😢

@@robertotapia8086Wow ❤ all things in God‘s time. So glad you made it back home to the Catholic Church and I will pray for your family! Jesus wants unity in His church 🙏 when I’m interacting with my protestant friends and family members, I try to remember where my heart was even a few years ago and how much patience the Lord had with me. I think the best thing we can do is pray for them, always be prepared to have an answer, and live our faith like Dr. Lacy and Keith.Nester ✝️ 🙏 🕊️

@@miamaria333Thank you and agreed ❤️‍🩹 it is as venerable Fulton Sheen once said “there are not 100 people in the world who hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they think she teaches”. I just keep praying for soft hearts and truth to be revealed. I recognize for how long my own heart was there. I had good intentions, but very misguided, and God was so patient and faithful with me. When He finally broke through the pride and hardness of my heart, it has been the most beautiful and humbling journey of my life and I couldn’t be more grateful. I just want everyone to experience the fullness of the faith because it is so good.🙏 🍞✝️🕊️ 🩸

​@@robertotapia8086 Praying! 🙏🙏🙏

I recommend RCIA/OCIA go to classes learn more about the faith. There is no pressure to join the church but learn about it. My wife a staunch anti catholic just went to classes to learn more about the faith and misconceptions. 4 years ago she came home. Lost alot of family and friends. But as she said "denying God and his treasures" would be like denying him face to face. She has loved discovering the many treaures of the faith. For her was euhurist, she researched euhuristic mircles and blew her mind. As the lord said "have faith and believe"...good luck will offer a novena for you and pray for you

@empackmanmueller1725 thank you. I'm so green I don't even know ow what a novena is lol but I'll google it.

I'm catholic for a year now. There's still so much for me to learn. But let me tell you it's the most wonderful experience. Never felt so at home and so at peace.

Olá, saudações do Brasil. Costuma ser muito difícil entender em sua plenitude as coisas de Deus sem o complemento da fé. De fato, Deus é imenso e nós, limitados. Por isso, para melhor entender as coisas de Deus é preciso contar com a fé, que é por si só um dom de Deus. Sendo assim, peça a Deus para aumentar a sua fé e ampliar o seu entendimento, pois só assim as barreiras impostas pelo nosso humano intelecto cairão. A Igreja fundada por Cristo na Terra é humana e divina, perfeita e imperfeita, o que pode parecer contraditório, mas não é. Como corpo místico de Cristo, a igreja é o corpo, do qual Cristo é a cabeça. Apenas com uma mente elevada pelo divino, o que se materializa por meio da fé, é que a Cristo amplia o nosso entendimento e eleva a nossa humanidade por completo. Que Nossa Senhora Aparecida, mãe de Deus e nossa mãe, te ajude a encontrar verdadeiramente o seu divino filho. Paz e Bem, em Cristo Jesus, nosso Deus e Salvador.

You don't understand them because you do not believe them. Crazy or deep? St Augustine of Hippo=Annaba, Algeria, and St Anselm of Canterbury said something to this effect: First believe, then you will understand. For me, I was aware that I prolly didn't even know all the dogmas so how could I possible know if I believed them or not. Eventually I was at the point where I had enough confidence that the Catholic Church had this treasure chest of jewels and I trusted it to lead me into all truth. All the best.🎉

AMEN AMEN!!!!!

It took me leaving the Catholic. Faith and then knew from a prompting of the Holy Spirit to return. It made me a more "on fire" Catholic

Going from conservative confessional Lutheranism (e.g. high church LCMS, chanting, incense, genuflecting, making the a sign of the cross, private confession, liturgy, a belief in sacraments, etc.)to catholicism or Orthodoxy is not much of a leap. Coming from Baptist/evangelicalism, it’s a much bigger leap because anti-Catholicism is so deeply ingrained, much more than any of the other protestant denomination. I think one of the best approaches when talking with Baptist/evangelicals is to challenge them on the sacraments.

Welcome Home Scott! Besides truth, the Catholic Church has many beautiful things to offer! The tradition of the Church is one of those beautiful things. As a Catholic, I would warn you to be careful of those claiming to be traditional Catholics. Who are rejecting the Holy Father, claiming that he is teaching heresy, etc... They are heading towards scism. Taylor Marshall was a convert who used to have a great channel. Now he is caught up in that mess, and I am afraid that he is leading people away from the Church! May God bless you and your family with many graces! 🙏

I don't understand why protestants lie about the Catholic religion. Being a Catholic all my life not once have I ever heard a priest say anything about the protestants. Non-catholics are told over and over lies about us. I wonder why all these other religions are so afraid of Catholicism !!!!

Praise God! Another Trad❤

This made my day. Welcome home brother

Thank you for the kind words

God bless you!

That kind of thinking is completely confounding.

Amen!

It's is intellectually dishonest to disregard the pre-Nicene Father's expressly giving testimony as to why believers are to keep Sabbaths & Passover etc & some of the how of what happened to the original church. The original Faith that was bludgeoned to death by what ended up being called Roman Catholicism occurred. Yes the universal Rome church is NOT the original Way of ACTS....it is Catholic (universal) in changing what the Apostles & Christ taught. Similarly it is intellectually dishonest to translate Colossians 2:16 to say the Feasts & food laws are irrelevant to believers in Christ when they are shadows of things TO come & future in Greek & the warning is NOT to be forced by men to follow traditions of Judaism that were heavy burdens of CONTROL that made God's Law of none effect. Protestant daughters are returning because they are ignorant like their root & enjoy the teaching of Nicolationism as standard operating procedure. Polycrates & Polycarp show the "mother RC church is a perversion of truth for personal power. The prophet Isaiah informs us what will happen in the New Heavens & Earth in Isaiah 66. Read Zachariah too. Maybe listen to Your Saviour who loves you more than any man. Read Matthew 5:17-22 & then Rev 14:12 or perhaps realise both Jew & Gentiles are grafted into the root to become the Commonwealth of Israel & the change to the Law of Moses is the earthly Priesthood....in offerings & sacrifices. Hebrews 8 & 10 show that. Maybe read Romans 3:31 & ask the Holy Spirit to teach you. Christ's Blood was offered in the Heavenly Temple to inaugurate the New Covenant... not Catechism of men. The Worship of YHVH is not from men's private interpretation. In Genesis the sun, moon were placed for Moeds IN Hebrew it means meeting understood by honest translators as Appointed times of WORSHIP. The 7th day 4th commandment identifies WHICH God you worship. Give value to the Creator & keep the Bikkurim First Fruits which is Christ rising after being offered on the Cross as an appointed time given to Israel ( God's people if they are spiritual sons of Abraham & believe God to keep his statutes commandments & judgements & be called righteous AND a friend of God. God SPOKE to Abraham face to face before Sodom & Gormorrah were destroyed but you wouldn't know that because of "Christian" & Judaism Jewish translation of the text. Unfortunately your brand of faith is like most who listen to the Nicolates & follow their commandments & know little of the significance of the ACTUAL Holy Calendar because they ultimately are working for the approval of men or worse because they despise God's Words just as the Pharisees. Look at the Inquisition & tell me in what way that resembles Christ's teachings? Seriously hope your eyes are opened & not to Protestant belief either. This is plainly spoken in strength & integrity of heart, hopefully for your benefit. Hopefully it stirs you to be a personal fact checker. Blessings

@@barryblackwood6050 so much written but not a single valid point made

A lot of anti-Catholic hate in the US comes from years of propaganda demonizing immigrants, first from the Catholic Irish, then the Catholic Italians, and now the Catholic Mexicans. Freemasonry and Protestants founded the US, and they hated Catholics since the beginning. Freemason lodged and the kkk have tried to ban Catholic Schools trying to force Catholics to go to public school.

Wonderful!

@@KeithNestertalk about beautiful faith. What about Jesus? It’s always a faith or what we believe and oh WE HAVE THE FULLNESS of truth etc yet DONT have the Holy Ghost and twist and add words and meanings to the scriptures that are NOT THERE TERMINOLOGY not there Pope Mass Eucharist Genuflecting Etc NOT THERE

@@TriciaPerry-mz7tc you didn’t listen to this if don’t think we talked about Jesus. I get that you are confused, but there comes a point where you need to get over your anti Catholic prejudice and just listen. God bless.

@@KeithNesterit’s a mimic of Christianity. Jesus didn’t tell anyone to take Mary into their house and HE TOLD US NOT TO say prayers like that And if MARY IS IN HEAVEN and Jesus GOD SAID Don’t make images and do pictures of people and things in heaven or under the earth. So New Testament covenants ARE AGAINST SUCH PRACTICES and God doesn’t have a wife The Holy Ghost is the spirit of God and Mary is not God spouse 😢

Oh Tricia, you forgot Trinity and Purgatory! I will pray that you receive clarity and The Fullness of Truth and that we become more CHRIST LIKE in our thoughts, words, and actions. I recommend Early Church Fathers. Knowledge is power. God's peace❤​@TriciaPerry-mz7tc

Me too 😎😎😎🙏

I offer this only as a contextual explanation. It’s is not an excuse: many protestant white Americans are descended from ancestors who were vehemently persecuted out of their homes, livlihoods and sometimes murdered for failing to adhere to the RC church in different places throughout Europe starting in the 1400s. . This has (imho) created a kind of ancestral trauma for many who then perpetuated this fear and outrage on ensuing generations. Huguenots, Lutherans, Pietists, Jews, Moors and others were often in RC church crosshairs through a twisting of church doctrine implemented through politics of the time. Again, not an excuse, just a potential explanation. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yess, the history of the Catholic Church is not perfect imitation of Jesus. It is the same today, we have the ape of the church. Stick with the GOSPEL of Jesus, the original Hebrew/Greek translation. Not those of men in their offshoot religions ❤❤❤

@@patriciagrenier9082 - what church do you attend? Where in scripture does Jesus say “by scripture alone will you follow me.”

@@anniev.6532 - that is a very simplistic view of history as moors and the Jews who were administrators in the caliphate invaded and occupied the Iberian peninsula for 700 years- the Catholic monarchs of Spain could take no chances. Also, the vast majority of American WASP’s are decedents of the dominant culture in Northern Europe- the English and Prussians killed hundreds of thousands of Catholics throughout the centuries. Most of the animosity, I believe stems from greed for power and envy of the Holy See’s ability to weather all the storms- many protestant denominations are mere shells of what they once were; yet Holy Mother Church endures. Jealousy and bigotry is so common in WASP circles

My father in law is a Baptist minister and his wife (but not the mother of my husband's) is currently battling cancer. She asked us all to pray for her and I sent her the Divine Mercy and Sacred Heart chaplets and she politely thanked me but I know she probably just stow the cards away like Birthday or Christmas cards. One time years ago, she asked me about crucifixes and in my too-eager excitement, I bombarded her with information about rosary in a one minute 'spiel'. To my embarrassment, she didn't want to know about rosary, only why I asked for it in my birthday wish list. As cradle catholic, I feel so awkward around my husband's family and extended family members (I'm the only catholic). That's probably my biggest fail to be a window to the True Church for them because they are so on fire and I'm so timid.

May Lord Jesus bless you and your family. Amen.

⁠@@grivsxiaomi4661I am asking for prayers after being in Christ to get everything back. I can’t believe o for yrs bought lies when I like being in church Went the wrong

Your father in law belongs to the Baptist CULT

The Baptist boy belonged to the Baptist CULT and hated Jesus

Right...powerful rosary❤

I’m in the same boat. What lukewarm chatechism did to us is terrible. I was also brought back through having always kept a rosary and the prayers of my mom. Had some saints help kick my butt back from the “I’m spiritual” heresy I was wallowing in. God always looks for the lost sheep.

1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 1 Corinthians 10:4 “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” 1 Samuel 2:2 “There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. Mark 7:7. “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” 2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” 1 Timothy 4:3 “Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:15 “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 1Ti 3:2 - A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Tit 1:7 - For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; Hosea 6:6 “For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.” Rev 3:16 - So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Better to be a born again Christian and find a good Bible study group.

As a convert (raised Baptist), my first RCIA was awful. The 2nd one was led by a Priest and Deacon and was much better. I bought the first 3 books of the Baltimore Catechism (there are 4) and learned so much. Another book is "Church History" by Fr. John Laux. Maybe have these books on your coffee table or even in the bathroom when thru come visit.

I (reluctantly at first ) trained as a catechism teacher in 2015. When I started teaching I was astonished that some of my 5th grade students didn't even know the basics (signing themselves before entering & leaving Church!) This made me up my lesson planning game to make every Sunday lesson interesting & informative.

Because the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ himself, so it will always be there until the end of time.

It does now for sure. When I moved there in 89, there wasn’t even a Catholic radio station. I was baptized Catholic but had my life changing confession to Jesus while there at age 28. I was looking to learn as much as I could, and started listening to Protestant talk radio purely for lack of anything else. One attack after another on the Church sent me to search if what they said was true, every single time it wasn’t. I’m not sure that all those high powered Protestant preachers of the late 80’s would be happy to learn that they made me rock solid Catholic for life.

@@frisco61you have the holy Catholic Church. You have 48,000 protestant CULTS

When you do a search for Traditional Latin Mass parishes in the US, Tulsa comes up. I don't know if the search results are current, but I counted FOUR parishes in or near Tulsa that offered the Mass of the Ages.. Not bad!

Similar, but I thought it was possible for Catholicism to have SOME truth but not ALL. If I could just find one doctrine they were wrong about (according to my all-wise opinion, of course), I could stay Protestant. Since all Protestants acknowledge that no one denom. has an absolute guarantee of inerrancy, not even their own, Catholicism would be no different (no better) than the rest of us. It was their claim to have the fullness of Christianity that was the sticking point. Once I became convinced of Apostolic Authority and a couple other key doctrines, the jig was pretty well up for me. I figured, if they’re right about THOSE, they’re going to be right about the rest.

Welcome home!

A cradle Catholic here but it was Doctor Scott Hahn’s book ‘The Lamb’s Supper’ that opened my eyes to see what I had not seen before: the beauty of the Mass. And I keep learning more and more from our brilliant new Catholic brethren about my new faith. Feeling very thankful.

Thank you! That means a lot.
