Keep reading and praying! Jesus will bring you home to His church.

Welcome to the Body of Christ

Just do it!

Go through Matthew Kelly's Decision Point. It is a book with videos and is easy to go through. I use it for my CCD religious education of middle schoolers and even most of them can understand the message.

Catholicism is the complete Fullness of the Faith... Jump in, and we will welcome you Home!

Pamela, that's so wonderful! Thanks for watching.

Jesus in the Way, the truth and the Life. Follow Jesus and obey the Bible. Catholics believe in a lot of things contrary to the Bible.

​@@emilyjoanna6269Thanks for making me more Catholic than ever. Comments like yours make my faith grow stronger ❤

@@FiledUnderFaith will keep you in prayer, Ma'am - catholicism is definitely not Christianity. Bible proves it.

Great testimony. Thank you for all you are doing. Keep it up🙏

Thanks again, Paul, for sharing your thoughts!

Now you need to go to a Traditional Latin mass . It's so Beautiful.

So true. God leads ppl to the truth. Once you find it. It sets you free

I agree with you completely.But the sad thing is many Cradle Catholics left and are now protestant because they like good Preaching.

@@danielblanchard793 part of what turned me off initially from years of protestant (I was even a pastor) is big personalities and the focus seems to be about preaching. Where as mass I encounter more scripture, more authentic worship, and a reverence I'd never encountered in the protestant church.

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching.

I too considered others, but the deciding factor among many factors was which Church is the most persecuted. Given the state of the world, I knew Satan would be working hard against it.

J penaflower I am like you. I got back into listening to podcasts etc...some are pints with aquinas, catholic talk show, word on fire, council of trent, Steve ray, st. Paul's center with Scott hahn is amazing...I've realized I've got an entire life time to really and truly discover our beautiful catholic faith!!good luck and godbless

@@empackmanmueller1725 Sensus Fidelium, which is more traditional, has thousands of videos (mostly audio) of homilies, saints, and other gems that have depth to them. I learn something in just about every video. May God bless you in your faith journey. Pray with the Blessed Sacrament and in humility, ask to be led deeper. Your heart will move you to what God wants you to know. Jesus doesn't ask us to know everything. That's why He gave us His Catholic Church. The essentials are in the Catechism, which is online. Most importantly, love much.

@Michelle Antao There is a good series on EWTN called The Heresies. It covers the major attacks on the Catholic Church from within. This is the link to it on demand for $2.99 each (ondemand.ewtn.com/paid/Home/Series/catalog/video/en/the-heresies). It also is broadcast on Thursdays at 5 pm ET. The Church has been persecuted from outside and within. It proves Jesus' saying the gates of hell will not prevail. It also shows hell hasn't stopped trying. We are starting to see the other "churches" also being attacked. Many sold their souls hoping to escape it or maybe hoping to be eaten last. Crazy times. Stay strong in Christ and peace to you.

Thanks for sharing your story! Praise God! I've noticed that Mary plays a role in many of the conversion stories I've heard. And yes we are married now, with baby #4 on the way. :)

You are blessed! Praise God for your faithfulness. Also, you are only five years away from being able to say with Saint Polycarp, "86 years have I have served him, and he has done me no wrong..."

John 3:3 KJV Bible “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Thanks for your comment and for watching! Thanks for sharing a little bit about your story. My mother in law was also Episcopalian until her 50’s/60’s, and then she finally converted after her Catholic family members got off of her case so much, haha. God works in everyone’s life differently.

Cathy, thank you so much! Yes, I am a big fan of Brant Pitre as well! And of course Scott Hahn has been a wonderful teacher for me as well. We are so blessed!

John 3:3 KJV Bible “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

@Eremias Ranwolf I will read that thanks

@Eremias Ranwolf Dr Pitre specializes in Ancient Judism

@Eremias RanwolfMost people don't realize that the Bible was written for Jews to read.If don't understand Ancient Judism you can't interpret the Bible correctly.Prior to 1900 most people could not read.

@Eremias Ranwolf I will read Dr Pirate's Books,Thanks

Hail, Holy Queen was the first Hahn book I read. It was so beautiful!

Thank you for your prayers!

Thank you for your kind words!

John 3:3 KJV Bible “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

That is wonderful! Way to use the skills and passions God has given you.

@@FiledUnderFaith thanks. God bless you.

Thanks!

@@FiledUnderFaith But it is not the church Jesus started.

@@rochelleperry2242 yes it is

That is very kind. Thanks Gerald!

Yes! Exactly!

If you read the history of the bible Peter never went to Rome. I have no pope I only need a Savior Jesus Christ.

Before I recognized the authority of the pope, I was just my own pope. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@FiledUnderFaith before I recognize that Jesus as my Lord and Savior I was lost and blind ,now ? I am forgiven and I can see

@@eddyrobichaud5832 You won’t hear any complaints from me about that!

Hi Ken (I’m assuming that’s your name!), thanks for the encouragement, that is very kind. I’m glad you enjoyed my story.

Thank you so much!

Wow, I am so encouraged by your comment! That is exactly my hope for this channel-that it would be an encouragement for those exploring the faith or interested in returning. God bless you on your journey.

Thanks Joe!

@@FiledUnderFaith Thank you for your contribution to the knowledge of our true faith. Many blessings.

What an awesome testimony. Glory to God for the work he has done in your life.

@@FiledUnderFaith Thanks. And I will be going to Mass for the first time on Sunday!

Hi Wendy, the Catholic Church has answers to these objections if you’d like to look into them. It’s probably not possible to have a thorough discussion here in the comments section, but there are lots of websites online that could explain, if you are curious. I’m sure Catholic Answers has covered these objections, as well as Dr. David Anders. I wish I had more time to make more videos about these specific kinds of objections… maybe I will someday.

" learning a whole bunch of tricks was idolatry" no it isn't 😂

Learning tricks on a skateboard isn't idolatry.

Oh that is wonderful! I hope you enjoy it. And thank you for your encouragement. 🙏

@@FiledUnderFaithDo you have an email contact?

@@heidithompson7764 I do. It is filedunderfaith@gmail.com

Thanks for your comment! And that's a good point regarding the number of denominations, thanks for pointing that out.

Jónatas, how exciting! Congratulations to you, and thanks for sharing your thoughts-I agree.

Thanks so much for watching! God bless you. 🙏

What a great quote! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for watching, Diana!

Thank you!

Bill, thanks so much for watching and sharing with your community. Can you share more about your online community? What you are doing sounds awesome.

Thank you! It's hard not to be excited about the many graces of being Catholic.

Great insights! And thank you so much for your encouragement and your prayers! I’m so grateful that the Lord has put this project on my heart, and I hope to keep working on it well into the future.

@@FiledUnderFaith Thank you. Keep doing the Lord’s work and you will be successful. You are doing great!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yes, we are so blessed to be Catholic! And funny you should ask… after I finished recording this video, I realized that I never clarified. We are now married with two children and one more on the way. ☺️ He was of course supportive of my decision but left it up to me. As for the rest of my family, they definitely wish I were not Catholic but we are still very close.

Hi there, thanks for your encouragement! That’s an awesome quote.

That is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing. And that makes perfect sense about confession. I am SO grateful for the gift of confession.

That's awesome, Yvonne! So glad you've found your home in the Catholic Church. Thanks for watching.

I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. I am more focused on conversion story interviews at this point, but I've also written an article on my website featuring 12 problems I see with Sola Scriptura. Maybe I will make a video going over those objections when I have time. For now, you are welcome to read the article I wrote: filedunderfaith.com/?p=6

Have you read Hebrews 9? Was Christ offered once for all time or not?

That is very kind! Glad you are enjoying!

I have some inkling of how very blessed I am, but I am sure there is always more room to be grateful for God's graces in my life!

Thanks so much for watching! I’m so glad it was an encouragement.

Amen

Thanks for your comment!

Thank you for watching!

Hahaha me too. How charitable. 😅

Yes, absolutely! My focus was more specifically about what it means to gather on the Lord's day, but I think towards the end of the video I may have vaguely referred to the Eucharist being a miracle every day that the mass is offered, which is of course every day. I have at times thought about how cool it is that at any given moment, somewhere around the world, the mass is likely being celebrated! We are so blessed.

Hello, I take issue with the suggestion that my family or my evangelical church was lacking in their ability to pass on the Christian faith as they understood it. Both my family and the churches I attended were ardently Christian and practiced the best that protestantism offers. The depth of my Christian upbringing is in part what gave me the desire to go deeper. I was given the best of evangelicalism, but it wasn't enough. I needed the Sacraments.

Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed my story. That is awesome that you are in RCIA! I am so excited for you! God bless you on your journey.

Thanks for watching!

That is very kind, thank you! Glad you enjoyed.

Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. I'm so glad you are enjoying my channel. Yes, I try to interact with commenters as much as I can, particularly those who are interested in civil discussions or are interested in exploring the Catholic faith. I am getting pretty good at ignoring those who, as you mentioned, just want to argue (though I occasionally engage with them and quickly regret it). 😅 -Megan

Thanks for watching!

Also, I appreciate your enthusiasm in inviting many connectors to check out RCIA.

Thanks! I think the best way to learn Catholicism is through the Catholic church!!! Many dont actually know what the Catholic church teaches!!!

Exactly! Be careful what you wish for.

Yes. Luckily I had my now husband’s encouragement along the way, and that helped a great deal. It was helpful to know that the instruction there was not all there was to Catholic thought or catechesis.

Thanks for watching.

Thank you!

Thanks for watching, and for your kind words!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching! That's a great way to put it! Luther really opened pandora's box.. I wonder what he would think of how splintered Christianity has become.

Hey there, thanks for chiming in! Yes, that's certainly a possibility as well-that Jesus existed, but never claimed to be the son of God. I had some friends who believed this when I was a teenager. Based on my own research, I think there is good evidence that Jesus was a historical figure, who truly said and did the things attributed to him in the four gospels recognized by the Catholic/Evangelical/Orthodox churches. To me, that's the best explanation of why a rag-tag group of Jewish fisherman, doctors, and tax collectors were (1) willing to be tortured/martyred rather than deny that they encountered Jesus Christ after his death (they were first-hand witnesses, after all, unlike Muhammad's followers, Joseph Smith's followers, etc.), (2) why the account in the Gospels have such incredible historicity (if you're going to make it all up, why list women as the first witnesses of the resurrection, when they were not considered reliable witnesses? etc. etc.) and (3) that they would go on to found a worldwide religion that also happens to be the longest-running institution (the Roman Catholic Church).. not to mention, that they got along for the most part. I'm sure you're familiar with those arguments, though, many of which are in Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ. I've been thinking about this a lot recently, and when it comes down to it, I think there's good evidence to believe in God and in Jesus Christ, but not so much that it's undeniable. At the end of the day, it's a hard question, and it's up to each of us to make the call. And I appreciate that you can see good in the Catholic Church, even though it is far from perfect... that's very charitable of you! I am grateful for all of the Church's contributions to science, art, philosophy, philanthropy, and more, but also acknowledge there have been some very grave evils in her 2,000 year history. We Catholics still have more work to do in our Church, and there's still more work to be done in my heart too. Thanks for sharing your perspective, friend. Blessings to you. -Megan

@@FiledUnderFaith Thanks for your response, Megan. I sense there's a lot of love and caring in your words. My wife and I took the RCCA class and joined the church. We had two great young priests at the local church. Going to Confession was a great experience, and I can say that if one is going to adopt Christianity, the Catholic Church is the way to go. I used to watch the vids of Father - now Bishop - Barron here on KZfaq. He's so calm and reasonable, in contrast to all the loudmouth hysterical "christian" apologists I've seen. I've seen all of the points you've raised about Christ argued and refuted many times, so I won't go into them here. You seem like a kind soul and someone I don't want to argue with, LOL. So, I'll just say, thanks for your kind words. May you be happy and peaceful in this life (and I gave you a thumbs up).

That's so wonderful! It's such a gift to be Catholic. Blessings to you.

Thank you!

That is wonderful! Thanks for sharing your story. I love that there is always more to learn about our beautiful faith.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed my story.

Thank you so much! Same to you!

Thanks for watching, Edmund, and for your encouragement!

Thanks so much for your kind words! I continue to feel so grateful to be Catholic. I have been thinking a lot lately about all of the ways my faith is relevant for raising my family. What a gift!
