There is no such thing as Satan,nor demons.This.man is 100 % grift..a right wing thing . Sasquatch and aliens are real. Only southern simple folk call both DEMONIC,LOL. Can't get proof,cannot get hard scientific evidence, something unknown makes a southerner shite his drawers...call it a dam 😈 demon,lol.
God is restoring his Church. It is required to battle Satan in this realm. Prepare for the victory of GOD! I do not cry for me, I cry for thee For you're given eyes but do not see Your spiritual drift a certainty Ever spiraling into eternity In the one that you can sense but do not see He gives peace to thee, solace you shall need You are bound to his covenant regardless of choice In the end you will only hear his voice. His voice will vibrate every atom of his realms. Healing his creation with such a force, a force strong, but seldom coarse That you may come to understand your worth Accept your place as portion of the source. Cut from him, may you ascend again to the righteous place he desired you attain Mistake not, It was always his reign. Satan has never had a moment that didn't prove to be God's gain. All your unjust deeds Beset Wipe clean your choice without regret.
@@ShawnRyanShow I know it really doesn't seem like much but to our family it just isn't something we can afford at this time...hopefully things will improve🙃
@ShawnRyanShow When you brought up the reoccurring numbers was so wild to me because a significant number to me will always be 444 on my first tour to Iraq which was in sadr city we got attacked 04-04-04 which was the longest sustained fire fight since Vietnam. I see it all the time.
Here is a short bind and cast prayer that can be used for yourself or anyone who you have authority over like your. “In the name of Jesus I bind and cast out any evil spirits in or around me to the foot of the cross never to return again and I ask our Lord Jesus Christ to fill the empty space with His grace and Holiness in the name of the Father Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.” These prayers can only be used on yourself and anyone you have authority over like your children if used on anyone else you must have their permission and they must be willing and wanting to, if they don’t it could cause more harm to them than good.
Iraq vet, recently started going back to church, I wanted to volunteer but they said I need to take classes first. The first class is November 13th...my friend died 16 years ago in Iraq on November 13th, I don't belive in coincidence, I'm on the right path now.
@@Kaz13A that's amazing to hear!!! I just went back to Christianity... I loved when I heard that Church can be anywhere. Keep going, so happy your doing well.... Cheers!!! Karen
I'm not a Catholic I'm an old school Southern Baptist but no matter what denomination you are as long as you have repented of your sins and accepted Jesus into your heart, we are brothers and sisters in Christ. God bless each and every one y'all.
Honestly there's not much difference between Baptist and Catholic except you guys totally submerged when you're baptized that's about it bro. Oh I guess you don't have the sacraments of the Catholic church that's a mistake.
Catholics do not believe in the Bible or being born again. They also believe in works and we know that is not the way. They’re in trouble. I was a catechist and never opened the Bible. It was discouraged.
@@obfuscateidentity2329 where in the Bible does it tell you to do those sacraments? Maybe you need to open the Bible and actually read it and not believe some man.
That sounds very ecumenical / reconciliatory. Is 'repenting and accepting Jesus in your heart' all there is to being a follower of Jesus? Should the believer be sprinkled or fully submerged, and why? Does your age even matter? Must you be a baby or old enough to understand what and who you are committing yourself to?
I was raised catholic, went to catholic school my whole life, but haven’t attended mass in 2 decades. After watching this I will be bringing my family to mass today 11/10/24. Glory be to God!
That is awesome and indeed a blessing! God bless you all and please remember the sacrament of reconciliation, penance... going to confession once a month. God bless you!
My father was a preacher. I served in the Marines. I attended a protestant college and seminary. I was ABC Christian (anything but Catholic). But, at age 51 I came into full communion with the Catholic Church. Ten years later I adore the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit more than ever. We are in a constant battle against evil. Stay strong warriors. This is my favorite SRS to date. Thanks.
I say this with tears in my eyes. I am not Catholic, but I never in a million years thought a former seal and CIA agent (who I generally detest) would lead me to wanting to crack the Bible open again. Like Shawn said - it’s the only thing that makes sense anymore.
I am a semi practicing Catholic. That is to say that I go to church on major holidays, and occasionally pray. I used to attends church weekly, and pray daily, however, I’ve fallen out of that. After listening today, I’m going to get back into being a fully practicing Catholic. thanks for the great interview. So many questions that I wish I could’ve asked.
I came back to my Catholic faith in 2017 . The longing for the Eucharist was so incredibly strong , I have never looked back. I’ve fallen in love with my Catholic faith
After combat in Mogadishu I came home lost and drank a lot. I'd never seen evil like that. I found RCIA 10 years ago and the Catholic Church set me free. Confession for warriors is everything. I'll be reading the book of Maccabbes soon, thanks. Bravo Zulu to all.
You have a personal relationship with the Lord you don't need to go see a priest your sense just pray to the Lord and ask for forgiveness. I don't know why you guys need a praise. They don't remember everything.
@@gottaloveitgottaloveit8273 If you go to confession one day you will understand. You will feel different afterwards. You will feel like someone has taken a heavy burden from your body, that you have been carrying around for a very long time without knowing it. Its real! This is real! You will feel a supernatural force act on your body even without the Priest touching you in any way, shape or form. This happened to me more than once after confession. Believe in what you want to believe, but if you try this one day you will know Im not making this stuff up. God bless you
@@gottaloveitgottaloveit8273 This is real, if you go to confession one day you will understand. You will feel something has changed inside you. This happened to me more than once.
@@gottaloveitgottaloveit8273because Christ told us to do confession this way. Scripture tells us to confess our sins to one another. Christ gave this power to the apostles to forgive and to not forgive sins in scripture .
This may sound crazy but I think I want to be Catholic...I've always liked the faith, but because I was raised Baptist...this man truly is a man of God...I'm even shocked at my own thoughts right now & I'm only 01:03:00 hours in!
Praise God! Come Lord Jesus. Dont let the devil tempt you with doubts and fears. It is not crazy at all. The most important thing from this moment will be to ACT. Dont sit on this thought bc the devil will attack you with doubt. Visit your local Catholic church and ask about entering the faith. In the meantime, read the bible, attend mass (they happen every day), get a rosary and begin praying it. Check out Ascension presents and bishop barron. I will be praying for you Elizabeth. :)
Lots of people I know are returning to Church. God is reaching out to all of us and if you listen you will hear him. This world is going crazy God is my Center and keeps me grounded.
@mellamolucero / You are absolutely RIGHT! God is speaking to his church and even unbelievers! He’s been sending me dreams that are reminiscent of the tribulation period. I made one of them into a video, but the other was so recent, that I haven’t been able to document it yet. On October 23rd, 2024, I prayed for grace in remembering my dream, should there be something that the Lord wanted to place on my heart. I had asked him, “Lord, when will be the time of the end? Your people are weary due to the constant wickedness!” Prior to going to bed that night, I read the Bible and the story of David in 1st Samuel. It stuck out to me that men judge the outward appearance, while God judges the heart - I actually highlighted the verse in my Bible. Back to my dream, which left me in a bit of a sad state the next day. I dreamt that I was coordinating a religious convention where religious leaders from all over the world convened in a large building, not sure where. There were leaders from African tribes, Hindu priests, the pope was there. I could see hundreds of religious leaders dressed in cultural garb that pronounced each minister’s holy standing. They were to each provide me with a one-slide PowerPoint summary that outlined their mission, beliefs and religious doctrine followed. I felt frustrated that many of the slides I received were plagued with grammatical errors and was overcome with anxiety in my dream because the priests had ignored the King’s instruction and I didn’t think I would be able to meet the King’s deadline of 1PM the following day in providing all necessary materials to Him. My dream ended. The King was the Lord Jesus. Similar to the dream I recorded, it dawned on me that this was a warning from the Lord. The religious leaders have worshiped false gods, or preached heretical gospels. They have ignored the Gospel of the one true King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ. Their attendees have been led from the Truth and as a result, their salvation is in danger, due to being misled. The wrath of God is upon them for they have ignored God’s instruction, much like Israel, who ignited God’s wrath as they ignored Him and worshipped false gods. I felt a sense of urgency from this dream. It’s a warning. The next step in the prophetic chain of events is the rapture, it definitely seems like we’re getting close. For those of you that need to see this: Accept and believe the Gospel (I Corinthians 15: 1-4). Proclaim that Jesus Christ shed blood on the cross, as the only Son of God, that died for YOUR sins! That He rose the third day. Repent of your sins. Ask the Holy Spirit into your heart. Read your bibles and pray!!! You will be saved and raptured when the time comes if you truly believe what you’ve confessed.
I grew up Protestant. Because of this video I’ve had a spiritual awakening! Tons of research recently and my eyes are opening. I never knew much about Catholicism before but now I have realized it is the ORIGINAL Church and Peter was its leader, wow! How could i not have known! It’s the real church. I believe I need to convert….
As a younger Catholic i can absolutely confirm what Father Reehil is saying about the correction taking place in the Catholic church. The young men coming back to the church are looking for everything the secular modern world cannot provide. There might be fewer of us, but we're incredibly devoted to Christ and the true Catechisms of the Church. Christ IS King.
There is only one Christ. The Christ that died once for all and was a sufficient sacrifice for our salvation. He is not a Christ who needed man’s works, or assistance or man’s compliance. He is not a Christ that “initiates” salvation and needs man’s actions and will to complete. He is not a Christ that needs “unbloody” sacrificing as in the Eucharist. He is THE mediator between man and God, as the Bible clearly states, which is contrary to the Catholic teaching. Protestants and Catholics are not the same. Our Christ’s name is the same, but his work for us is not the same, his means of salvation is not the same. It’s not the same Christ, and it’s imperative that Protestants understand that, and just how far apart the two are in spite of the same phrases that we share. The Council of Trent curses certain Christian and biblically accurate claims and every Christian should read them and understand what exactly the Catholic Church teaches, affirms, and damns. There is no need to take any Catholics word for what the church states, believes, and teaches. You have few choices…say the Bible is wrong, reject Paul’s teaching on how we are saved and accept the Catholic gospel, or deny the catholic gospel and accept Paul’s teaching on Gods providence for the salvation of sinful man. The two have not, and can not both be true. Catholicism is another religion, with another gospel, who’s doctrine in incompatible with biblical Christianity. Many Catholics will says its faith based, which it is based on faith, just along with works.
@@beth6795guess you were blasphemous when you called your dad father and your teachers, teacher…. We call priests father because they are shepherds of the faithful and Christ’s representative to minister the sacraments that Christ gave us.
@@beth6795 I can't believe you prots still say this.... it's really getting old at this point... instead of regurgitating Protestant propoganda just go and look up Catholic teaching on the matter next time.
Baptized as a kid? It seems like you need to be at an age of understanding to make a conscious decision to follow Jesus, but who am I to say? I follow Jesus. At the end of the day, I will have to answer to Him and no one else.
I went to confession recently after years of separation. I was in tears during and after. It was such a beautiful and emotional moment, and I literally feel that the lord Jesus Christ lifted a brick off of my chest 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Jesus Is King!
For me, it made me feel lighter. Refreshed and renewed. Hopeful and free. I hadn’t been to confession in 12 years. I thought I didn’t need it. Vanity and ego on my part.
@@valferdinand3325 I do. I am pierced to the heart with gratitude for a gift I profoundly don’t deserve, and it is with humility that I accept God loves me in spite of myself, and has given me a heavenly mother in addition to my beloved earthly mother to care for me. It’s renewed my desire to bring that love more into the world.
I was raised Catholic and have been away from the church for a long time, After hearing this episode I started praying the rosary again. Thank you Shawn Ryan for doing this. Also thank you Father Reehil for sharing your story.
The Roman catholic church was taken over by Satan circa 300 AD. Roman catholic practices are overwhelmingly pagan, *NOT* Christian. The rosary, praying to Mary, etc are PAGAN practices.
This was a tough one to watch. Brought back a lot of bad memories. I lost my faith and gave up on life because of sexual abuse. I was a raging alcoholic for over 20 years trying to forget and cover up the pain. This interview gives me hope that changes are taking place. Thankfully I've been sober for 2 years and the professional counseling I've received has provided me with tools that help me cope with the PTSD. Still apprehensive about going back to church but I'm more open minded about the possibility now. Thanks again Shawn for another great episode. The truth you're spreading is much needed. Great work.
I’ll be praying for you, John! I’m so sorry for everything you went through. It’s not fair, and you didn’t deserve that. I pray God brings you to great heights quickly.
@culturecoroner Thank you for your kind words and prayers. I appreciate it very much. It gives me hope for the future knowing that there are still people who care about humanity. I still struggle with my belief in God because all the people I loved and cared about were the ones who abused me. Praying is difficult for me because I feel like a phony when I do it. I don't feel like my faith is at 100% true belief. I'm still searching though. Thanks again for reaching out, it means a lot to me. Take care and God bless you.
I'm sorry, John. You have a different experience than I do, but going through my own crisis and healing from trauma helped to grow my faith that Christ Jesus promises us redemption. I don't say this to convict you, but rather to affirm to you your grief and suffering are real. And when you're ready, Jesus is with you always, chasing after you and waiting for you. God bless, John.
I’m a first responder going through a tough time. My buddy this past weekend, who I never expected this from, reached out to me and asked me to take him to church so I did. It’s been a while since I’ve gone too so I figured I should. The message really spoke to me. When I tried getting help for some issues, my employers mental health group never got back to me. I reached out to a friend at another department and he contacted a resource who immediately called me, talked with me and set up an appointment. That resource was a former firefighter, and a pastor. I asked God to keep reaching out to me. I was listening to this podcast driving around and ran into a convenient store for a snack, I just heard the part where father said “this is my territory” and figured it was ironic about to walk into a liquor store. As I was walking out, I’ve never seen this before anywhere else but there was a stack of pocket bibles by the door to take. I walked back in and picked one up. When I just thought to myself that this probably isn’t God’s territory, it was him reaching out to me again and telling me “everywhere is my territory”. I then got to a friend’s house and while telling him about all these events that occurred today, and about the recurring numbers that Shawn mentions in this episode, I checked my phone and it was 3:33. From what I understand, it represents God’s presence and a call to spiritual growth. I was at a loss for words. God please keep reaching out to me and I’ll fear not because I know you’re with me🙏🏻
You got this bro, it’s a battle but lean into the Holy Spirit, read the word, speak the word, repent. The a Lord’s ways are higher and so mysterious, none of those things were coincidental. He’s always speaking, we’re just not always listening
This is very touching and thank you for sharing with us. We walk this life thinking that there aren't any others that feel or struggle like (I) we do but there are. Everywhere! I pray that God will continue to reveal himself to you. I pray that God will cover you in a hedge of protection from whatever you struggle with. May God keep you safe and strong in this dark sinful world. God Bless you!
You got this! You're walking in purpose and service to God and the world. And ur doing God's work being a first responder. Thank you so much for your contribution to humanity, it rly matters! Wishing you all the peace, love healing and success life can offer 🙏🏼🩷
Hebrews 10 KJV 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 1 Corinthians 15 KJV 1-4 ✝️🩸
@@joncerda351 ♥️ Believe the gospel. 2 Corinthians 4 KJV 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 1 Corinthians 15 KJV ✝️🩸 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
This interview has changed my life. And I am a devout catholic. I went to confession three weeks ago and I will go today again. I just purchased a paper Bible also (St Ignatius Study Bible from St Paul) - I have several Bibles but this one is true and Catholic. I am going to spread this interview and invite my friends to come to confession with me today
I left the Catholic Church at 18 and returned at 26. What brought me back fully was attending confession. Walking in is the weirdest feeling ever but my Goodness when you are sincere about your sins they are literally absolved and back into a state of grace. I was living a very pleasurable sinful life before, that these sins became habitual sins which indeed attracted more demons. I have a degree in engineering I promise I didn’t think nothing would happen in confession but God’s mercy is there, changed my life. Thanks Shane for this episode with Fr Dan Reehil!! Thx you Jesus for giving us the sacraments.
Brother so happy for you! Keep up the good work! But like Fr Reehil said the devil ain't going to be happy is going to tempt you back. So always go to Mass and as my director told me, if you fall get back up and go to confession!
@ 1000% I still get spiritually attacked. I had to quit a good paying job because my “friends” just wanted me to always go with them to the bars and strip clubs…. I prayed to God to move me away and he sure did!! I also pray the Rosary more and abstain. Keep up the good fight brother and sisters!!
Man cannot give you forgiveness or work your way out of sin. Only through Jesus who is the advocate for us to God in heaven, who paid the price for our sins can we be forgiven. Jesus is Perfect without sin and only He can be there for us to be forgiven. If we deny Jesus as our Savior we have no advocate for us to God. Jesus took human form so He could walk among us to teach us about God by living among us. Man thinks he can do good works and then boast about it to be worshipped by man but that’s not acceptable to God. We are sinners in action and thought always. You don’t worship the religion you worship Jesus. Jesus was very plain and humble not the richest most powerful man on earth. Absolute power corrupts, absolutely. Deception, influence from evil this world is always tempting humans. Eve was deceived, Adam sinned knowing it was wrong.
Fr. Reehill is local to me, and to Shawn. He’s a wonderful man, and I’m extremely proud to know him. He actually walks the walk, and is actually pretty fucking funny too. I was raised Southern Baptist, and converted to Catholicism when I was old enough to fully understand and make that decision. It is the singlemost impactful, fulfilling, and enriching thing I have done in my entire life, and nothing will top it. It is impossibly and immeasurably deep, and I am amazed and delighted by its beauty, grace, history, truth, and timelessness more every day. I’m saddened that God’s people are split into so many denominations, and I’m also saddened that they can’t get off of each others’ throats. I pray fervently for my Protestant brothers and sisters all the time; know that you are loved, and that this Catholic, brimming over with longing and enthusiasm to share what we have with you, wants nothing more than to see you grow closer to Jesus’s wounds daily. This was a hella good one Shawn. Stay safe, healthy, free, and God Bless America.
I started my OCIA classes yesterday. I've long been disillusioned with the Protestant sect and I became an atheist, but I felt called to Catholicism. I started practicing prayer and I feel that God is showing me signs that I haven't seen before!
As a person from Croatia/Bosnia & Herzegovina, EVERYTHING Father Rehill has said about Medjugorje is absolutely TRUE! EVERY time my family and I visit, it’s a grace and peace you feel bodily but also spiritually. I have chills coming down my spine typing this. Peace be with you Father and those listening. This has renewed my Catholic faith and strengthened it profoundly!
@@trackhawksauce4321 God doesn't have a mother. But God has sent his son on Earth to be close to people to be human, to be born as a man. That's Jesus. I've been in such a phase, spirituality, nothing matetial... That's denial. But we do live in a material world, and the spiritual one at the same time. God did materialise in Jesus (to some extent). Denying all these things like Mother Mary etc you're just on a path to deny God. You should be very careful about reducing God to only a spritual being that is somewhere far from us.
@@trackhawksauce4321Logically yes, God didn't have a mother before His incarnation. He created a being to be the vessel by which He can be incarcerated, the person who will be the source of His bones and flesh and everything bodily about Him. From that point on He had a mother, and continues to have one. He didn't pick some person at random. He created his own mother. No other person in the history of the world can have that accolade. Only Mary, the Theotokos. The Mother of God.
About 28 years ago, Father Daniel gave me a rosary upon his return from Međugorje. Since then, I became a convert to the Catholic faith, and my husband and children are Catholic. I teach Catholic religion at a Catholic high school, named after Our Lady. 🙏 You remain in our prayers, Father Daniel. Great interview, @ShawnRyanShow ! Ephesians 6:12 💪
15 years ago the maintenance man of our apartment building gave me a rosary from Medugorje after I asked him to pray for me and my husband as we counseled friends who were going through a rough time. He was from as village near Medugorje After that I started praying the rosary and delving deeper into the Catholic side of my Anglo-Catholic faith. Going through the catechism of the Catholic Church now with Fr. Mike Schmitz.
Shawn, I’m a Canadian listener and I love your show! Wanted to comment on this specific episode with father Dan, this episode saved my life I think, I was on a bad spiral for some years now, lot of bad habits let’s just say….I saw myself on one of the description that Father Dan talked about and at that moment I asked god to come back in my life ans in my heart! I knew that at that time that I had a « bad demonic » influence in my life! The minute I asked god to help me everything changed I got back on my path and it cleared my mind,anxiety,depression and all! This episode gave me back my senses and my life So thank you with all my heart man!👍🏽✝️✝️✝️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This cradle Catholic has been waiting for this for several days. I’m only 20 min in but Father’s every statement is just so heavy. Thank you, Shawn, for having him.
You're so passed getting raped by your pastor, and you're so far into accepting your homosexuaity, I just think you should give up the facade and run fully into your love if being butte fuct. You love it, it feels good, drop the Jesus facade and lean into homisexuality.... you'll love every minute
Same here. I've watched everything there is with Fr. Reehill. The way he talks about these things speaks the loudest to me. Also I'll admit, I was on the crossroads regarding faith. Not anymore though. The line of good and evil was never clearer than in today's world and I'm on the side of light. God bless you all.
Shawn, I don't know what to say, but you are killing it brother. Your shows are second to none. While I am not Catholic, I'm Baptist, this is a great guest and show once again.
@@82lowe36id / I’m Presbyterian, but I go to a Baptist church because my husband is Baptist. Love to Baptists and Catholics! We are all one in Christ 💜
I'm not a Catholic, but I fully believe fr Daniel Reehil because I've had experiences in getting rid of demons (It's really Jesus), plus I've seen Jesus Christ and had other experiences, so all what the father is saying is correct! He's anointed by the Almighty God and I'm so happy for him. Bless you all for doing this, 🙏! I hope it'll stop people from opening doors, 🙏! 💐💐💐
I was wrapped up in the occult for years constantly obsessing over tarot readings, crystals, witchcraft, etc. As soon as I went to confession after nearly two decades of being away from the Church, I felt a tremendous weight come off me. Not one obsessive thought or dabble in the occult ever since. I receive Holy Eucharist every Sunday and live in His grace and mercy every day. For this, I am ever grateful.
I literally broke down and wept when you talked about the beings moving back and forth and their movement sounding like rushing water. When I was a child, about 7 or 8 years old, one Sunday night we came back from church. My brother and I got out of the car running toward the front door, as children do, excited to be home. We heard something and looked up and there was a illuminated white figure in the sky, moving forward over the neighbour's house's roof, floating and the sound, as I have explained it over the years, like static flooded in. I always wondered what it was, I suspected that it could be an angel, but I was never sure. Hearing the description that was given now on this episode I just broke down into tears and thanked God that he allowed me to see one of His creations that night. I will never forget it. It's such an amazing feeling having this revelation.
@@jasonbourne5142Catholics don’t worship Mary, educate yourself and stop spreading false information, Catholics and Orthodox ask for her intercession but don’t worship her
@@Jake-pm3pz asking her for intercession is just as bad. You're giving her Jesus' role. That's blasphemous. Jesus is alive ,Mary isn't. Jesus can hear you , Mary cannot. You should educate yourself and learn simple logic.
Thanks Shawn for these great shows. I was a lost Catholic for years and after 22 years I went back to confession reluctantly. I felt the most amazing peace that I have never forgotten it and now I go once a month. Viva Christo Rey!
I agree. I listen to a lot of Matt Frad from pints with aquinas. Hes another catholic youtuber who does podcasts with a variety of people. It helps to hear like minded people talk about the faith when things get tough
Thank you, Shawn. I’m a Protestant but completely applaud the Catholic Church for their reverence of God, Jesus and the Spirit and the recognition of the historic church. Beautiful interview- one of my favorites.

Cradle Catholic here feeling like I'm going through a second conversion due to a grandchild's devastating medical diagnosis. Crazy thing is I can't get enough of God. This interview was like balm for my soul. I'm a new fan and couldn't be more delighted with this exceptional and authentic content. God bless.
Hold on to Jesus and our blessed Mother Mary! If you have a chance, go to an adoration chapel. Prayers for ur grandchild! Pray a lot to our Blessed mother Mary, as a mom, as a woman she truly understands you. Prayers for ur grandkid💕.
@@lucerogzz2565 that’s pagan bullcrap. Prayer to a dead human. That’s useless just like the Bible says. You’re foolish Mary worship and Catholicism is going to send you to hell. You better repent and believe the gospel of the Bible. You’re Catholic Church is going to send you to hell.
What are you waiting for? I’m in RCIA at 44! It’s the most awesome feeling and so comforting. Mass is the absolute joy of my week! I can’t believe all these years what I was missing out on. The Catholic Church offers the fullness of Christ, what a blessing! Please come home!
Shawn, I can tell you’re wrestling with the Catholic faith in this interview. I also was a Cradle Catholic who fell away from my faith for many years. When God spoke to me and I returned to Christianity I was so lost. I had acquired so many mixed beliefs from my years spent in New Age philosophies. I went to many different Christian churches seeking a good fit for me. They were always welcoming and Christ centered but I missed the reverence and the Eucharist. When I started reading the Bible from the beginning it became clear to me that God had very reverent worship since the beginning. I also became aware of the early church. I returned to the Catholic Church and it is where I belong. The other denominations were serving me. The Catholic Church is serving Him. Prayers for you on your journey. 🙏🏻 PS I was terrified of confessing to a priest. It was the most wonderful experience and I left there feeling lighter and completely forgiven. Things I had carried heavy on my heart for years went away (I can still remember these things but they no longer carry the burden they did before). Highly recommend this!
@@sally0404 I was on a similar path but I thank God I was led to the Catholic faith. I have recently been going to a Latin Mass and it is so reverent and holy! I love what you said about the other denominations were serving you but the Catholic Church is serving Him! What a great observation! God Bless You and Keep You Always! 🙏🏻♥️
See Shawn what this video has done for so many?!!!! I know you’ve recently started your journey of Faith & it sure seems like our Father in Heaven has chosen you to reach out to others in renewing their Faith. Thank you Shawn 🙏♥️ God Bless you and your family.
That's amazing, I highly recommend looking up the beauty of the Traditional Latin Mass in particular if interested. As Catholics, we believe that the Holy Eucharist is the actual Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ that we are receiving from the hands of the Priest. I pray that you may persevere and one day become confirmed into the Catholic Church, so that you would be able to participate in such a beautiful gift from God! May God bless you.
I love this show. I am so happy you had Fr. Dan on your show. I am a witness and recipient of receiving a rose after saying the novena to St. Theresa. Once when my son was young we started the novena and I told him St. Theresa is supposed to give us a rose. He said prayer works for me and not for him. It was more important now to receive these roses. We were praying the novena for a few days and one day my neighbor who wasn’t Catholic and didn’t know we were saying the novena knocked on my door and said “I was in my garden and something told me to cut these two roses and give them to you”. I thanked her not even thinking about the novena until I was looking through them at my son at dinner and it dawned on me. My son was shocked. In the prayer you say “please St. Theresa of the Little Flower, pick me a rose from a heavenly garden and send it to me with a message of love, ask God to grant me the favor I thee employ and tell Him I will love Him each day more and more”. I have said this novena several times and I always receive a rose. Once, I said it was a coincidence and if it was from her send another one and then I received a bouquet. I don’t believe in coincidences anymore.
Father thankyou for your testimony, I to left the church for 20 yrs for a different reason. I returned 3yrs ago and I am discerning to become a Deacon. Heavenly Father bless Father Reehil keep him safe from all of Satan's tricks, keep him strong in his faith and send down all graces you wish to give him AMEN
This was one of the most amazing interviews I have ever watched. Im Marine and a retired firefighter. PTSD. I grew up a Catholic, been infighting lots of demons all my life from addictions and anger and no hope. I recently got back to my faith last October and have been away for awhile. Now focusing and moving forward fighting through the crowds of earthly things to follow Jesus and it’s been a great journey. I am always being tempted or attacked by those demons of addiction playing with you trying to get you back into bad habits. But it’s not working for them. I just dig in deeper lock and load with God and fight even harder. Amen Semper Fi!
If you need inspiration maybe try reading if you already haven’t the lives of some saints. I recommend St Rose of Lima. She was a true hardcore fighter against demons and completely humbled me into giving up two debilitating long time addictions. All the best and I’ll say a prayer for you.
As a croatian soldier and roman catholic who always admired USMC this was really inspiring to read. Keep fighting the good fight brother. We never know who silently watches us, and keeps fighting because he sees we're not giving up either ✝️❤🔥
Fr. Reehill’s comment about his dad kneeling at church reminds me of my own dad (born 1949 prior to Vatican II was raised Catholic) and was diagnosed with bone cancer in both hips, had a hip replacement and cancer in many other areas, ALWAYS kneeled during mass. My dad died on Easter Sunday (1998) at age 47 and I spent many years being so angry with God to the point of apathy!! 🤦🏽♀️ I fell a way from the church and was extremely rebellious for about 25 years and thanks be to God, The Father, the Son and His Holy Spirit, I finally realized my biological father may have died on Easter Sunday but my REAL FATHER, He resurrected His only Son on Easter Sunday by the power of His Holy Spirit and conquered hell, sin and death for me and us all! How good is GOD??! That GOOD!!!!!!🙏🏻✝️♥️ I am now a devout Catholic and will be forever grateful to God that I now know if I keep fighting the good fight I will see my biological father again and GOD our REAL FATHER too one day!! Hallelujah!! ✝️❤️🩹❤️🔥♥️❤️🔥♥️❤️🔥♥️❤️🔥♥️❤️🔥
My story is very similar though unfortunately not as devout. I start out great but then fall away for a period of time. Please pray for me. May God bless you always.
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I thoroughly enjoyed and learned from this interview. I have so much respect and love for my brothers in Christ, Shawn and Father Dan. They are doing God's work and it is amazing to witness. God bless them and the many other Christians throughout the world who live the Gospel and shine as lights in the darkness.
As a convert to Catholicism roughly 16 years ago, I can tell you that Fr. Reehil is correct regarding confession and forgiveness. There is a “Knowing” that you are forgiven and that feeling of relief and weight that comes off your shoulders is very real and powerful. I spent nearly an hour in my first confession, after all, I had close to 20 years to confess. God uses his priests as chosen vessels to speak to us. In my first confession, the priest asked questions regarding my life, specific questions that only God would have known. It was a an extraordinarily humbling experience. Walking out of confession was a feeling of deep mortification and profound Love. A love that is hard to express in worldly terms, I felt a profound sense of God’s presence and His Divine Mercy. I’m so glad you had Father Reehil, from my readings and what I have seen, he’s quite special. More men can be priests but not all priests can be exorcists. It takes a deeply spiritual man to be selected as an exorcist and it is not a chosen job in the priesthood, it is assigned and usually comes down from the Pope, by word of other priests, bishops & archbishops.
I was raised Catholic but fell away for approximately 15 years. When I found my way back, confession was just as Fr. Reehil described. When I received absolution, besides the feeling of relief and joy, I felt like bindings were being cut. It was as though I had thick bands wrapped around me and anchoring me down that were immediately removed and I was free for the first time. I had lived in sin for so long that I didn’t even know I had been bound until the bindings of sin were removed. For those who say, “I can just confess to Jesus. I don’t need a priest.” I tried that prior to going to confession but the oppressive weight was still there. Only when I went to confession did I experience relief (I.e., the joy and peace that comes with forgiveness). Jesus breathed on the disciples and told them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive they are forgiven and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained” (John 20:22-23). Confession is not “man made”. It’s Biblical.
@@tonyd3276 I agree completely and thank you for sharing your experience. Confession is biblical and your testimony, as well as mine and all those who confess with a repentant heart, solidifies that confession is what Jesus asked for, first through His apostles and later through priests. Your description of the joy and relief you felt is relatable. The darkness of sin that separates us from God will stay with us yet when we confess, the evil that was bound to us is severed. I think Fr. Reehil said something to the effect of “knowing for certain” your sins have been forgiven and you are absolved. I’m glad you found your way back. Peace be with you and to all.
@@tonyd3276I'm in the almost same situation now. Pray for me brother. Haven't had a confession, a proper one, for about 15 years. Raised in a very traditional Catholic background and surrounding, I was quote religious up until my early 20s... Then I went through same kind of agnostic phase, then had some kind of my own personal "relationship" with God, went through phases of atheism, antitheism, hate to God, and everything combined in one through some years... It was a mess and I was far away from God all those years and haven't confessed. In the last couple of few years I've been coming back to God gradually since that was the only thing left for me in all that darkness. I feel I'm somewhat closer to God now, but still very far away and I think I absolutely have to confess, fully and properly to get back to God and live a true life. But I have no courage to do that step and have been constantly delaying it. It just feels too awkward to confess all that, especially not confessing for more than a decade, to a man (even though he's a priest). Especially in this very traditional place. I've been praying for God and Jesus to help me to confess I hope you do that for me, brother too. I would love it if I could confess to a pries like father Reehil, feels it would be easy to confess to a man that's been through some similar things like me... It would just feel very strange to confess to a priest who hasn't come across something like this or would be judgemental or something like that.
@@siberianTiger639 Please go and confess. Don't waste any more time apart from God, or trying to control the way God will forgive you, He already has but you have your part to do. There is nothing you will say or have done that can stop God from loving you. If you need a gentle push I'm shoving you. Go please.
The Roman catholic church was taken over by Satan circa 300 AD. Roman catholic practices are overwhelmingly pagan, *NOT* Christian. Confessing to a priest is a PAGAN practice found nowhere in the Bible.
Came home to the Catholic Church last Easter Vigil. Best decision of my life. My beautiful wife and three children came with me and we are all thriving. I hope Mr. Ryan comes back to the fold soon.
@TNCruiser When the "catholics" started placing the "CCC" above the Word of God, they fell into the same paradoxical error that Israel did with the babylonian-Talmud, when they placed the babylonian-Talmud over the Word of God!!!! If you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you know what I am saying is True!!!
@@coltercannington766 Nah, I have faith in Jesus and the promises he made to the church. I also used to think along the lines you do. May God bless you and hopefully one day you will see the truth.
@@coltercannington766don’t confuse the Vatican with the one holy Catholic and apostolic church founded by Jesus by making Peter the first pope. The first like 35 popes are martyrs for the name, most only had to renounce the name of Jesus to be spared.
@@Ben-i2kbasically. It happens more often then you think. Sometimes life has us questioning just about everything , and reminders are sent through God for us his children to recognize it’s much bigger than us. Having faith restored is a beautiful thing, as faith can grow deeper after you remove the barriers and obstacles in the way. ❤ God Bless SRS for this episode and God Bless the souls who slept and will sleep on this.
Pray, and leave your questions for an other day, that is what helped me, whenever i was doubting. you don’t need to fully grasp all things christianity right now, with prater, god will reveal in due time if you seek. I personally used to experience a lot of negative emotion wile doubting the faith, which is to be expected when the whole world seems to be shaking, if you take my meaning. Never go on thinking if your emotions start playing up, they are not bad but they are not conducive for rational thinking. That is my advice, from a fellow sinner and a fellow doubter as we all are. God bless! I shall pray for you.
I am LDS and am so grateful for this interview!!! There is so much I don't know or understand about different faiths. Through these conversations it helps bring more truth and light to us.I love the bold bluntness of this priest! He has no fear. A true holy warrior of God. It's no longer about my church is better than your church. It's about being followers of Christ and all of us being safely gathered by the Good Shepherd. No matter where we are in our life, we can follow him and find common ground in Christ's atonement and be his hands, eyes, ears for each other as we learn to hear his voice guide us and burn off all our unholiness and receive his grace. Good works are still a key component because if we don't practice holiness we won't be comfortable in that environment. It's all about being willing to receive grace and learn through eternal progress.
I was protestant my whole life (42 years). I always felt that all the churches that I went to were missing something. Some of the members and other Christians that I knew always argued about which Bible was accurate. A lot of King James only people. I started looking into the Church from before the whole King James version was written. In doing so, I kind of went down a rabbit hole that led me to the early Church fathers. I started doing more and more research and seen where the churches that I went to had it wrong. I was then to the point of looking into the Catholic Church and into Orthodox. I decided to attend the Catholic church in my area one Sunday for Mass, which is actually Father Reehils church. I finally felt like the things missing in the other churches, was there. I was in tears with the presence of God there. I quickly got into RCIA, which was amazing. I was drilling the teachers with all the normal protestant questions. By the end, I was sure that the Catholic church, was the Church that Jesus started. I was confirmed by Father Reehil 3 weeks ago.
Functioning alcoholic trying to quit, im going to church Sunday and bought the Catholic version of the bible after watching this. Didn't even know I had the protestant bible this whole time.
Work the 12 steps THOROUGHLY and you will know what a spiritual experience means. 20 years for me this December and I wouldn't have made it without AA and the 12 steps.
Praise God! Dont let the devil talk you out of going. I would also strongly recommend you buy a rosary (amazon is fine!) and pray it daily. it is a powerful prayer weapon against addiction and it will radically change your life through gace. You can learn how to pray it on any catholic website or follow along on youtube. Ill be praying for you!
I have heard the opposite of addiction is community. Perhaps check out some of the parish activities and join the church groups to find support and commodore. This way you can help people and find support at the same time. God bless you and I pray you find the courage to keep going. I pray you are filled with grace and peace from our Lord and I pray you find heavenly protection even in your darkest hours. Jesus is always there with you if you let him be. God bless you ❤
Thanks Shawn and Father Dan Reehil. As a catholic coast guard officer here in the Philippines, this interview had me smiling, laughing and crying at the same time. In the end, you + JESUS = Victory. Love from the Philippines!!!
God bless you my brother. I have been crying too. The fruit of Christ in the Philippines is so great and I truly love your people. Please keep preaching christ and the rosary. It is the weapon that will destroy the kingdom of darkness.
Absoutly the best podcast interview I've ever seen...Ground breaking for shy away Catholics,Christians,..I have to be better In my relationship with Father, Son, and HolyGhost real eye opener for me as a Catholic..Thanks for the message I received.!!!
Definitely one of my favorite episodes! I’m a non-Catholic Christian and I feel like I have more in common with Catholics than differences. I think in America we Christians get so caught up on our differences instead of focused on our commonalities that we miss the boat and allow Satan a foothold. May God bless these two men and protect them while they fight the good fight. 🙏
Agreed. We moved to the south and as a Catholic, Southern Baptists and Pentecostals never hold back in telling me I am not a true "Christian" and how we "worship Mary" and on and on (which of course I know is not true.) I never argue back I just pray that Jesus softens their hearts and helps them to understand it doesn't really matter what Church you go to, as long as you follow HIM and HIS teachings we are all children of God. It shouldn't be us against them it should be ALL for HIM.
@jennyt6159 I'm a Brit who was living in The South getting all the same criticism regarding being Catholic. Just like you I never argued the point.. We're all walking in faith and one day I hope people can just recognize the importance of unity
"The art of dying well is directly correlated to the art of living well... Putting God in the center of your life. Trying to live a life worthy of the message Jesus left us with the Gospels". Thank you very much Father Reehil 🙏
We love Father Reehil!!! Thank you for this podcast. He is an amazing man. Everyone should listen to how he became a priest. God bless all who listen to this and all of your followers.
I love listening to Fr Reehil. He has answered so many of my questions! I fell away from the church over 30 years ago and largely thanks to him I am making my way back to the Faith. He is truly rounding up the flock Stay Solid, Father Dan!❤
Wonderful episode, Father Dan is who got me interested in Catholicism when I watched him on Michael Knowles. You're both so intelligent and humble, thank you for this conversation ❤ Christ is King
@@ShawnRyanShow why didn’t you call him out for all the abuses the Catholic Church has done? For instance the Boston Globe report? Seriously, you’re better than that.
@@JohnSmithyy365dude, is that news to you? The church has reformed all safety measures and is safer than any public school. It was acknowledged and awful. It's infiltration at its worst. Have you heard of Bella Dodd?
@JohnSmithyy365 for the same reason we don't call you out on all the abuses perpetrated by men, John. Because that wouldn't be logical or fair. You may have limited intellect, but why not try to use it a bit better anyway?
Deleted my Facebook and Instagram accounts and app from my phone. Going tomorrow for my first confession after 15 years and going to mass with my daughter right after. Hopefully with time and the help of God I can convince my husband to become catholic 💙 thank you for this!
Praise God! All of Heaven rejoices when the lost sheep is found. I've been practicing our Catholic faith for 4 years, after more than a decade steeped in mortal sin. I'm forever filled with gratitude for God's healing and mercy in Confession. Your life begins anew tomorrow!
Like Father said, you will be attacked. Keep the faith and call on the name of Jesus over and over and over during your time of transition. Don’t give in to other people’s weakness - center yourself on the Eucharist…❤
I have listened to your podcast for a while now and thanks for having Father Dan on. As an operator (18) back in the early 80s, I figured my days in the Catholic religion were over, forty-five years away from God. After listening to your story and Father Dan's, I decided to join a Catholic church in Forest City NC again and confess my list of regrets (sins). I do feel better. Keep up the great work. Sincerely, Alan.
I have been back and forth with faith for a while, but this has stoked my fire. I am going to follow and love god. I dont have a rosary or bible yet, but i will do my best to fix that. Thank you father dan and shawn for opening my eyes to the lord. I will pray for you both.
I am a cradle Catholic and have been in and out of the Church over my 45 years. What finally led me back to Jesus was watching the Chosen. I know that sounds really corny BUT it made Jesus so real, loving, kind, merciful and it just left me wanting more, to learn more to know more, to grow closer to Him. The Chosen put out an amazing little book that is just the Gospels so it's not overwhelming and easy to understand Jesus' teachings, which is all HE wanted us to do was listen, learn and follow Him. Blessings to you on your journey dear one.
Start with a simple New Living Translation Bible. It will fill your heart with joy and peace and give you an excellent overview of the Bible. There's also summaries of the Bible, which can help alot. Not to replace Bible but accompany it because sometimes some things can be confusing. God Bless you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’m a former Protestant in RCIA right now can’t wait to be confirmed so I can be absolved of my sin and receive my first Eucharist. Once I realized how the early Church worshipped and how important the Eucharist is, it was a no brainer.
I’m a convert from the Baptist tradition, and I will tell you that it has been the best decision of my life. I go to Mass daily and my relationship with Jesus has exploded. I just wish everyone could research the early Church fathers. Jesus started a Church, he didn’t leave us a Bible. There is too much to type, but I am just so excited for you!! St. Margaret Clitherow, pray for us ❤️🔥🙏🏻🌹
@@MrAwak3 then I’m sure you’ve read the Bible in Mathew. Jesus said, take eat this bread, drink from this cup for the remission of sins. No need further than to accept Jesus into your heart your mind and your soul and believe that he walked. The Earth was crucified and died and was resurrected. That’s how you get remission from your sins. Also confess to God only no man can absolve you.
You can go in prayer right now to Jesus and ask for forgiveness and if you believe in the Gospel, you will be absolved of your sins. You don't need to be a confirmed Catholic. May God Bless you. ❤
While attending the Mass, all the senses are experienced, touch, smell, sight, taste, and touch. The Mass is the ultimate form of worship and once I knew what the Mass was, I never been bored while attending Mass. Thanks for Shawn interviewing Father Reehil.
Amazing podcast today! I’m so happy about your conversion. I am also coming back to the Catholic faith after 20 years of not wanting anything to do with it. Today I’ve been sober for about 4 1/2 years and I’ve been cleaned for almost 2 years. Come February and now I’m coming back slowly to the Catholic faith… I really loved this episode! Well done, & keep em’ coming!
I was at an hour and twelve minutes and I decided to pray. Sometimes when I pray I feel like I’m doing it wrong or saying the wrong things but sometimes when I get it right I get chills from the bottom of my feet all the way up my spine and down my arms and that’s what happened this time. It was right before I was leaving work for the day and my boss said I’m gonna start giving you more money, closer to where you deserve to be and we both got teary eyed and basically just showed gratitude for my hard work. We both took in the moment and it was beautiful. God is great.
I was an altar boy my whole young life and went to a boarding Catholic HS with priests who taught us. I never had an issue with a Priest, like what Father and many other have experienced. Thanks be to God.
This is one powerful episode, led me to realize that the aversion I had to the scripture was Satan inside me. All the doubts and little questions I had were indirectly or directly answered with this interview. Hopefully one day I can meet Father Reehil to thank him for the blessing
This was an amazing interview, Shaun. Fr Reehil is one of my favorites. You're lucky to have him so close to home for you and your family. I will continue to pray for you and Fr. Reehil. Peace!
When Father says we haven’t had the age of the Holy Spirit yet… it makes total sense that this could becoming upon us now. Myself and so many of my peers have been feeling the call back to the Church and an urge to seek out God once again. And after calling out to God he’s been rushing back into our hearts like a flood of Love. And I feel like He’s constantly putting things in my daily life that reminds me I’m back on the wholesome path to serve Him. Exciting times, even amongst all the dark things happening currently.
I'm so sorry to say this to you and don't let this upset you.... i know for a fact the Holy Spirit is upon us. Many Christians have it if they are not religous and develop relationship. Jesus promises us the holy spirit if we believe in him and keep the commandments. This is in John 14:15. It does take time and dedication. Hope this helps and doesn't discourage you. You can have it too. It does require work. Like meditation, prayer, worship etc.. ❤❤❤ It's too precious to explain because i don't want to be mocked but that's okay. We are in special times. So I must.
The amount of people inspired to go back or to join church makes my heart so full of joy! Thank you, Shawn. I can’t wait for a part 2 or your account while going to Fr. Reehil’s church. God bless you and everyone here who are seeking the way, the truth, and the life! 🙏
I'm an Asian, born and raise as conservative Christian until nowadays, and I'm glad you invite Father Dan Reehil to your podcast. People need to hear it and back to Jesus. Thanks, both of you are warrior of the Christ!!
I prayed to St. Terese and had no idea about the rose. After doing this prayer leading up to my mom's death anniversary. Suddenly I smelled Roses, but stronger than any Rose I have ever smelled on earth. It's awesome! It took me a while to actually find out the stories about this Novena.
I prayed for my mother after she died, prayed that she was in heaven, weeks to a month after she passed. After praying at home I suddenly smelled roses that was a stronger scent of roses I have ever smelled. I’am not Catholic.
@Tamara_W I honestly believe it's from heaven. When I smelled them it was on the anniversary of her death. And God knows I'm stressed out about where my parents are. It's such a gift from God, to give us reassurance
It almost made me feel like someone was present, either my mom, an Angel, Mary or was it a just a gift of reassurance from heaven. It's such good gift to know your mother is in a better place
@@Tamara_W remember that Jesus said that we have to be like children, and children notice these things. Pay attention to her death anniversary if something stands out. God is amazing in these little signs he gives us. You will start noticing things in your daily life. It took me a long time to see things as Gods presence in my life. Yes you definitely got your answer!!!
I'm not catholic nor will I ever be because there are some things I disagree with. That said, there were some profound things he said that struck me deeply and apply to all Christians. I'll be going to church this Sunday for the first time in 15 years. Thank you for this episode Shawn. It's really been eye opening to help me realize that I never should have walked away from my faith.
There is power in the name of Jesus. I feel our days are running fewer and fewer with present evil in the world. May God richly bless you as you pursue him.
Ya could have just started at 'there were some profound things....' why even mention Catholicism other than to poke a jab at it? Don't like it? No reason to speak of it
Shawn as all of your shows podcasts are essential kmowledge and riveting in many facets. As a devout traditional catholic Im glad that you came back to catholic church and episodes like this can have a very profound affect in returning many to God Lord Jesus Christ saving lives and souls such a special grace and blessing!👍🤙❣️📿🙏 God bless you and your beautiful wife and family 🙏❣️📿 keep your sword on ❣️📿🙏
My friends sent me this link. I asked my son if he knew about you and he said he follows you, Shawn. I started to tell him about this episode with Fr Reehill and he said he couldn't sleep last night and watched the whole thing. I was blown away by this episode! I've started following you,, Shawn, and I'm going to find Dr. Reehill's radio show Battle Ready. Thank you both for all this!
This is such a beautiful interview, thanks Shawn! I am a non practice catholic but this episode has inspired me to make a change in my life! Thank you so much I will keep you in my prayers Shawn you and your family
Thank you Shawn for having Father Reehil on your show! He is such a down-to-earth spiritual guide. His method of communication makes speaking of faith, devotion and Jesus somehow more REAL. When he speaks, you just *know* he is being truthful. (LOVE YOUR PODCASTS!!).

There is no such thing as Satan,nor demons.This.man is 100 % grift..a right wing thing . Sasquatch and aliens are real. Only southern simple folk call both DEMONIC,LOL. Can't get proof,cannot get hard scientific evidence, something unknown makes a southerner shite his drawers...call it a dam 😈 demon,lol.
God is restoring his Church. It is required to battle Satan in this realm. Prepare for the victory of GOD!
I do not cry for me, I cry for thee
For you're given eyes but do not see
Your spiritual drift a certainty
Ever spiraling into eternity
In the one that you can sense but do not see
He gives peace to thee, solace you shall need
You are bound to his covenant regardless of choice
In the end you will only hear his voice.
His voice will vibrate every atom of his realms.
Healing his creation with such a force,
a force strong, but seldom coarse
That you may come to understand your worth
Accept your place as portion of the source.
Cut from him, may you ascend again
to the righteous place he desired you attain
Mistake not, It was always his reign.
Satan has never had a moment that didn't prove to be God's gain.
All your unjust deeds Beset
Wipe clean your choice without regret.
@@ShawnRyanShow I know it really doesn't seem like much but to our family it just isn't something we can afford at this time...hopefully things will improve🙃
@ShawnRyanShow When you brought up the reoccurring numbers was so wild to me because a significant number to me will always be 444 on my first tour to Iraq which was in sadr city we got attacked 04-04-04 which was the longest sustained fire fight since Vietnam. I see it all the time.
Here is a short bind and cast prayer that can be used for yourself or anyone who you have authority over like your. “In the name of Jesus I bind and cast out any evil spirits in or around me to the foot of the cross never to return again and I ask our Lord Jesus Christ to fill the empty space with His grace and Holiness in the name of the Father Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.”
These prayers can only be used on yourself and anyone you have authority over like your children if used on anyone else you must have their permission and they must be willing and wanting to, if they don’t it could cause more harm to them than good.
I voluntarily walked into a Catholic Church for the first time since childhood today and attended mass after watching this.
Try the Traditional Latin Mass instead of the common mass.
PRAISE GOD!! Mary is praying for you sister! She wants you to return to the true church that was founded by her Son Jesus!
Prayers for you! ❤
Welcome home
Onward Christian soldier!
Iraq vet, recently started going back to church, I wanted to volunteer but they said I need to take classes first. The first class is November 13th...my friend died 16 years ago in Iraq on November 13th, I don't belive in coincidence, I'm on the right path now.
Abundant blessings on your path forward 🕊
God Bless you. Thank you for your sacrifice for our freedom. ❤
@@Kaz13A that's amazing to hear!!! I just went back to Christianity... I loved when I heard that Church can be anywhere. Keep going, so happy your doing well.... Cheers!!! Karen
There MUST be the Eucharist, ergo there MUST also be a Catholic priest.
Thank you for your service, sorry for your loss .
I'm not a Catholic I'm an old school Southern Baptist but no matter what denomination you are as long as you have repented of your sins and accepted Jesus into your heart, we are brothers and sisters in Christ. God bless each and every one y'all.
Honestly there's not much difference between Baptist and Catholic except you guys totally submerged when you're baptized that's about it bro. Oh I guess you don't have the sacraments of the Catholic church that's a mistake.
You must be baptized full immersion in order to be added to the church. Christ's body.
Catholics do not believe in the Bible or being born again. They also believe in works and we know that is not the way. They’re in trouble. I was a catechist and never opened the Bible. It was discouraged.
@@obfuscateidentity2329 where in the Bible does it tell you to do those sacraments? Maybe you need to open the Bible and actually read it and not believe some man.
That sounds very ecumenical / reconciliatory.
Is 'repenting and accepting Jesus in your heart' all there is to being a follower of Jesus?
Should the believer be sprinkled or fully submerged, and why? Does your age even matter? Must you be a baby or old enough to understand what and who you are committing yourself to?
I was raised catholic, went to catholic school my whole life, but haven’t attended mass in 2 decades. After watching this I will be bringing my family to mass today 11/10/24. Glory be to God!
Glory be to God indeed!
So happy for you and your family! Praised be Jesus and Mary! 🕊
That is awesome and indeed a blessing! God bless you all and please remember the sacrament of reconciliation, penance... going to confession once a month. God bless you!
Welcome home!
Praise the Lord!!
My father was a preacher. I served in the Marines. I attended a protestant college and seminary. I was ABC Christian (anything but Catholic). But, at age 51 I came into full communion with the Catholic Church. Ten years later I adore the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit more than ever. We are in a constant battle against evil. Stay strong warriors. This is my favorite SRS to date. Thanks.
amazing testimony
Welcome home. 🙏✝️❤
💯💯👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️amen!
Full communion with the Holy Spirit is what we need.
Yes welcome home. I too came into the Catholic faith in 2016 and never looked back
I say this with tears in my eyes. I am not Catholic, but I never in a million years thought a former seal and CIA agent (who I generally detest) would lead me to wanting to crack the Bible open again. Like Shawn said - it’s the only thing that makes sense anymore.
Being a Catholic is the greatest joy in the world. Check us out!!!
Become Catholic! Trust me when I tell you it wil change your life forever. I’m a convert and have never looked back.
Start by watching me videos from Catholic Priests. The church has a program to welcome in and teach adults! Get Baptised!
Agreed. “It’s the only thing that makes sense any more”
TLM ALL THE WAY! TRADITIONAL CATHOLICS CELEBRATE THE MASS OF THE AGES. MOST BEAUTIFUL SPIRITUALLY STIMULATING TRANSFORMATIVE EVER. ✝️⚓❤️🙏
I’m heading to mass and confession this week. First time in a long time. Thank you Jesus, for everything.
Praise God! You've got this. Ill be praying for you
Wonderful ❤ God be with you.
Just FYI, Friday is all saints day and a holy day of obligation. So you should go to mass on Friday. God bless!
Best step, Rich!! I am going as well!
I was raised Catholic and kind of drifted away, I haven’t gone to confession in over 20+ years. I’m going to go this week. Thank you 🙏🏼 🙌🏼
I am a semi practicing Catholic. That is to say that I go to church on major holidays, and occasionally pray. I used to attends church weekly, and pray daily, however, I’ve fallen out of that. After listening today, I’m going to get back into being a fully practicing Catholic. thanks for the great interview. So many questions that I wish I could’ve asked.
🙏
Welcome home brother
I came back to my Catholic faith in 2017 . The longing for the Eucharist was so incredibly strong , I have never looked back. I’ve fallen in love with my Catholic faith
Glory to God. Can definitely confirm that the hunger and longing for the Eucharist is strong.
Yes! The Holy Eucharist... Our Source and our Summit.. Jesus present to us in the Blessed Sacrament.
love it same story, came back to church this march
Welcome home ❤️🙏
@ welcome home 🩵🙏🏼
After combat in Mogadishu I came home lost and drank a lot. I'd never seen evil like that. I found RCIA 10 years ago and the Catholic Church set me free. Confession for warriors is everything. I'll be reading the book of Maccabbes soon, thanks. Bravo Zulu to all.
Awesome
JESUS is the only way to be set free!
Beautiful. May God bless you! 🙏

Went to confession for the first time in years. Amazing feeling.
All glory to God. 🙏

Confession in the Bible…
John 20:23
You have a personal relationship with the Lord you don't need to go see a priest your sense just pray to the Lord and ask for forgiveness. I don't know why you guys need a praise. They don't remember everything.
@@gottaloveitgottaloveit8273 If you go to confession one day you will understand. You will feel different afterwards. You will feel like someone has taken a heavy burden from your body, that you have been carrying around for a very long time without knowing it. Its real! This is real! You will feel a supernatural force act on your body even without the Priest touching you in any way, shape or form. This happened to me more than once after confession. Believe in what you want to believe, but if you try this one day you will know Im not making this stuff up. God bless you
@@gottaloveitgottaloveit8273
This is real, if you go to confession one day you will understand. You will feel something has changed inside you. This happened to me more than once.
@@gottaloveitgottaloveit8273because Christ told us to do confession this way. Scripture tells us to confess our sins to one another. Christ gave this power to the apostles to forgive and to not forgive sins in scripture .
One of, if not THE BEST guest you’ve ever had. Thank you for your courage Shawn.
This may sound crazy but I think I want to be Catholic...I've always liked the faith, but because I was raised Baptist...this man truly is a man of God...I'm even shocked at my own thoughts right now & I'm only 01:03:00 hours in!
Praise God! Come Lord Jesus. Dont let the devil tempt you with doubts and fears. It is not crazy at all. The most important thing from this moment will be to ACT. Dont sit on this thought bc the devil will attack you with doubt. Visit your local Catholic church and ask about entering the faith. In the meantime, read the bible, attend mass (they happen every day), get a rosary and begin praying it. Check out Ascension presents and bishop barron. I will be praying for you Elizabeth. :)
Please pray hard about this first, Elizabeth.
It’s not crazy.
Just listen. He will guide you.
I am in total agreement with you!
God bless you for saying these words 🙏@@bluecomb5376
@rayonnamiller1955 I will, actually exactly what I'm planning to do in the next 30mins!
Lots of people I know are returning to Church. God is reaching out to all of us and if you listen you will hear him. This world is going crazy God is my Center and keeps me grounded.
@@mellamolucero Amen!
@mellamolucero / You are absolutely RIGHT! God is speaking to his church and even unbelievers! He’s been sending me dreams that are reminiscent of the tribulation period. I made one of them into a video, but the other was so recent, that I haven’t been able to document it yet.
On October 23rd, 2024, I prayed for grace in remembering my dream, should there be something that the Lord wanted to place on my heart. I had asked him, “Lord, when will be the time of the end? Your people are weary due to the constant wickedness!” Prior to going to bed that night, I read the Bible and the story of David in 1st Samuel. It stuck out to me that men judge the outward appearance, while God judges the heart - I actually highlighted the verse in my Bible.
Back to my dream, which left me in a bit of a sad state the next day. I dreamt that I was coordinating a religious convention where religious leaders from all over the world convened in a large building, not sure where. There were leaders from African tribes, Hindu priests, the pope was there. I could see hundreds of religious leaders dressed in cultural garb that pronounced each minister’s holy standing. They were to each provide me with a one-slide PowerPoint summary that outlined their mission, beliefs and religious doctrine followed. I felt frustrated that many of the slides I received were plagued with grammatical errors and was overcome with anxiety in my dream because the priests had ignored the King’s instruction and I didn’t think I would be able to meet the King’s deadline of 1PM the following day in providing all necessary materials to Him. My dream ended. The King was the Lord Jesus.
Similar to the dream I recorded, it dawned on me that this was a warning from the Lord. The religious leaders have worshiped false gods, or preached heretical gospels. They have ignored the Gospel of the one true King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ. Their attendees have been led from the Truth and as a result, their salvation is in danger, due to being misled. The wrath of God is upon them for they have ignored God’s instruction, much like Israel, who ignited God’s wrath as they ignored Him and worshipped false gods.
I felt a sense of urgency from this dream. It’s a warning. The next step in the prophetic chain of events is the rapture, it definitely seems like we’re getting close.
For those of you that need to see this: Accept and believe the Gospel (I Corinthians 15: 1-4). Proclaim that Jesus Christ shed blood on the cross, as the only Son of God, that died for YOUR sins! That He rose the third day. Repent of your sins. Ask the Holy Spirit into your heart. Read your bibles and pray!!! You will be saved and raptured when the time comes if you truly believe what you’ve confessed.
God's will be done. Seek Him.
The end is coming. ❤❤❤😊😊
Amen
I grew up Protestant. Because of this video I’ve had a spiritual awakening! Tons of research recently and my eyes are opening. I never knew much about Catholicism before but now I have realized it is the ORIGINAL Church and Peter was its leader, wow! How could i not have known! It’s the real church. I believe I need to convert….
Praise God that he revealed the truth to you. I hope you do enter the true church!
you missed the whole point, its not about catholicism or protestants.. its about jesus and being born again of the spirit that matters.
@@MrExadeamen. Relationship not sacrament or religious pageantry, genuine praise and prayers are the best thing
Will pray for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
It’s not even about religion! It’s not about mass or…..
it all about JESUS and our personal relationship with HIM!
Shawn you have found your Priest. You are a blessing Fr. Reehil.
As a younger Catholic i can absolutely confirm what Father Reehil is saying about the correction taking place in the Catholic church. The young men coming back to the church are looking for everything the secular modern world cannot provide. There might be fewer of us, but we're incredibly devoted to Christ and the true Catechisms of the Church. Christ IS King.
Indeed HE is! Christ IS King!
There is only one Christ. The Christ that died once for all and was a sufficient sacrifice for our salvation. He is not a Christ who needed man’s works, or assistance or man’s compliance. He is not a Christ that “initiates” salvation and needs man’s actions and will to complete. He is not a Christ that needs “unbloody” sacrificing as in the Eucharist. He is THE mediator between man and God, as the Bible clearly states, which is contrary to the Catholic teaching. Protestants and Catholics are not the same. Our Christ’s name is the same, but his work for us is not the same, his means of salvation is not the same. It’s not the same Christ, and it’s imperative that Protestants understand that, and just how far apart the two are in spite of the same phrases that we share. The Council of Trent curses certain Christian and biblically accurate claims and every Christian should read them and understand what exactly the Catholic Church teaches, affirms, and damns. There is no need to take any Catholics word for what the church states, believes, and teaches. You have few choices…say the Bible is wrong, reject Paul’s teaching on how we are saved and accept the Catholic gospel, or deny the catholic gospel and accept Paul’s teaching on Gods providence for the salvation of sinful man. The two have not, and can not both be true. Catholicism is another religion, with another gospel, who’s doctrine in incompatible with biblical Christianity. Many Catholics will says its faith based, which it is based on faith, just along with works.
There is no fixing the Catholic cult it's been a lie from the beginning

I couldn't WAIT for this show! A Catholic, I'm so happy to see one of our good priests discipling publicly. Thank you, Father and Shawn! 🎉❤

It seems like you need to be at an age of understanding to make a conscious decision to follow Jesus, but who am I to say? I follow Jesus. At the end of the day, I will have to answer to Him and no one else.
I went to confession recently after years of separation. I was in tears during and after. It was such a beautiful and emotional moment, and I literally feel that the lord Jesus Christ lifted a brick off of my chest 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Jesus Is King!
For me, it made me feel lighter. Refreshed and renewed. Hopeful and free.
I hadn’t been to confession in 12 years. I thought I didn’t need it. Vanity and ego on my part.
I had exactly the same feeling. After a long time I went to confession and literally felt like I was dancing on a cloud when I walked out.
@ohmightywez thank God for bringing you back. Keep praying the rosary, mother Mary doesn't let her children go astray.
This truly is the top shawn Ryan interview . The truth was explained by father Dan the best I have heard . This is real .
@@valferdinand3325 I do. I am pierced to the heart with gratitude for a gift I profoundly don’t deserve, and it is with humility that I accept God loves me in spite of myself, and has given me a heavenly mother in addition to my beloved earthly mother to care for me. It’s renewed my desire to bring that love more into the world.
This episode was extremely crucial to the world! Thank you for having Fr. Dan Reehill on.
Since I saw the preview I’ve been excited to watch this one. I just became a Catholic this year. Christ is King!
Welcome!
Welcome home!! God Bless
Same here! Best decision of my life!!
Welcome Home ❤
You are here for a reason. All for the glory of our Lord. Welcome!
I was raised Catholic and have been away from the church for a long time, After hearing this episode I started praying the rosary again. Thank you Shawn Ryan for doing this. Also thank you Father Reehil for sharing your story.
I came back to the church in 2017 and the rosary and the blessed mother have changed my life! The rosary is truly powerful
Come on home! It’s a great feeling. Love our church. ❤🙏🏻
The Roman catholic church was taken over by Satan circa 300 AD. Roman catholic practices are overwhelmingly pagan, *NOT* Christian. The rosary, praying to Mary, etc are PAGAN practices.
Go to confession and then go back to weekly Mass ❤ God is reaching out to you❤
❤❤❤❤❤ Ave Maria! Praise Be Our Lord Jesus Christ🌹
This was a tough one to watch. Brought back a lot of bad memories. I lost my faith and gave up on life because of sexual abuse. I was a raging alcoholic for over 20 years trying to forget and cover up the pain. This interview gives me hope that changes are taking place. Thankfully I've been sober for 2 years and the professional counseling I've received has provided me with tools that help me cope with the PTSD. Still apprehensive about going back to church but I'm more open minded about the possibility now. Thanks again Shawn for another great episode. The truth you're spreading is much needed. Great work.
I’ll be praying for you, John! I’m so sorry for everything you went through. It’s not fair, and you didn’t deserve that. I pray God brings you to great heights quickly.
@culturecoroner Thank you for your kind words and prayers. I appreciate it very much. It gives me hope for the future knowing that there are still people who care about humanity. I still struggle with my belief in God because all the people I loved and cared about were the ones who abused me. Praying is difficult for me because I feel like a phony when I do it. I don't feel like my faith is at 100% true belief. I'm still searching though. Thanks again for reaching out, it means a lot to me. Take care and God bless you.
I'm sorry, John. You have a different experience than I do, but going through my own crisis and healing from trauma helped to grow my faith that Christ Jesus promises us redemption. I don't say this to convict you, but rather to affirm to you your grief and suffering are real. And when you're ready, Jesus is with you always, chasing after you and waiting for you.
God bless, John.
God bless you. May Christ be with you
Come home to the Lord brother. God bless you.
I lovehow Father Dan is open with his past. He speaks like a normal person compared to other priests from the Church. He’s very relatable.
As a Protestant, I have tremendous love and respect for my Catholic brothers and sisters!

I’m a first responder going through a tough time. My buddy this past weekend, who I never expected this from, reached out to me and asked me to take him to church so I did. It’s been a while since I’ve gone too so I figured I should. The message really spoke to me. When I tried getting help for some issues, my employers mental health group never got back to me. I reached out to a friend at another department and he contacted a resource who immediately called me, talked with me and set up an appointment. That resource was a former firefighter, and a pastor. I asked God to keep reaching out to me. I was listening to this podcast driving around and ran into a convenient store for a snack, I just heard the part where father said “this is my territory” and figured it was ironic about to walk into a liquor store. As I was walking out, I’ve never seen this before anywhere else but there was a stack of pocket bibles by the door to take. I walked back in and picked one up. When I just thought to myself that this probably isn’t God’s territory, it was him reaching out to me again and telling me “everywhere is my territory”. I then got to a friend’s house and while telling him about all these events that occurred today, and about the recurring numbers that Shawn mentions in this episode, I checked my phone and it was 3:33. From what I understand, it represents God’s presence and a call to spiritual growth. I was at a loss for words. God please keep reaching out to me and I’ll fear not because I know you’re with me🙏🏻
You got this bro, it’s a battle but lean into the Holy Spirit, read the word, speak the word, repent. The a Lord’s ways are higher and so mysterious, none of those things were coincidental. He’s always speaking, we’re just not always listening
@@MalloriDan absolutely brother👊🏻
This is very touching and thank you for sharing with us. We walk this life thinking that there aren't any others that feel or struggle like (I) we do but there are. Everywhere! I pray that God will continue to reveal himself to you. I pray that God will cover you in a hedge of protection from whatever you struggle with. May God keep you safe and strong in this dark sinful world. God Bless you!
Extreme alcohol intake is God's territory. That is a valid literal interpretation of all religions and mythology summed up.
You got this! You're walking in purpose and service to God and the world. And ur doing God's work being a first responder. Thank you so much for your contribution to humanity, it rly matters! Wishing you all the peace, love healing and success life can offer 🙏🏼🩷
I appreciate Father Reehill's vulnerability in this podcast. What an amazing Priest and Man.
Hebrews 10 KJV 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
1 Corinthians 15 KJV
1-4 ✝️🩸
An "amazing priest and man" doesn't support and justify genocide.
@@AlexanderBrown77 Yeah yeah we get it. Go to the sacraments. Jesus is waiting for you.
@@joncerda351 ♥️ Believe the gospel.
2 Corinthians 4 KJV
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
1 Corinthians 15 KJV ✝️🩸
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Attended Catholic Church for the first time in months after watching this. Was an emotional morning.
Awesome, brother 🙏🏼🌟have faith, you got this. May God bless you 🕊️
That’s great Jimmy. I pray for you to see the beauty of Catholicism 🙏
Praise God!
This interview has changed my life. And I am a devout catholic. I went to confession three weeks ago and I will go today again. I just purchased a paper Bible also (St Ignatius Study Bible from St Paul) - I have several Bibles but this one is true and Catholic. I am going to spread this interview and invite my friends to come to confession with me today
Praise God!
Can You share why?
I can’t wait to get my copy!
I left the Catholic Church at 18 and returned at 26. What brought me back fully was attending confession. Walking in is the weirdest feeling ever but my Goodness when you are sincere about your sins they are literally absolved and back into a state of grace. I was living a very pleasurable sinful life before, that these sins became habitual sins which indeed attracted more demons. I have a degree in engineering I promise I didn’t think nothing would happen in confession but God’s mercy is there, changed my life. Thanks Shane for this episode with Fr Dan Reehil!! Thx you Jesus for giving us the sacraments.
Brother so happy for you! Keep up the good work! But like Fr Reehil said the devil ain't going to be happy is going to tempt you back. So always go to Mass and as my director told me, if you fall get back up and go to confession!
@ 1000% I still get spiritually attacked. I had to quit a good paying job because my “friends” just wanted me to always go with them to the bars and strip clubs…. I prayed to God to move me away and he sure did!! I also pray the Rosary more and abstain. Keep up the good fight brother and sisters!!
Confession is tough. But brother, once you receive absolution, it feels like a heavy burden is lifted!
Man cannot give you forgiveness or work your way out of sin. Only through Jesus who is the advocate for us to God in heaven, who paid the price for our sins can we be forgiven. Jesus is Perfect without sin and only He can be there for us to be forgiven. If we deny Jesus as our Savior we have no advocate for us to God. Jesus took human form so He could walk among us to teach us about God by living among us. Man thinks he can do good works and then boast about it to be worshipped by man but that’s not acceptable to God. We are sinners in action and thought always. You don’t worship the religion you worship Jesus. Jesus was very plain and humble not the richest most powerful man on earth. Absolute power corrupts, absolutely. Deception, influence from evil this world is always tempting humans. Eve was deceived, Adam sinned knowing it was wrong.
@@ecox8358the priest is not forgiving in the confessional, it is Jesus.
Fr. Reehill is local to me, and to Shawn. He’s a wonderful man, and I’m extremely proud to know him. He actually walks the walk, and is actually pretty fucking funny too.
I was raised Southern Baptist, and converted to Catholicism when I was old enough to fully understand and make that decision. It is the singlemost impactful, fulfilling, and enriching thing I have done in my entire life, and nothing will top it. It is impossibly and immeasurably deep, and I am amazed and delighted by its beauty, grace, history, truth, and timelessness more every day. I’m saddened that God’s people are split into so many denominations, and I’m also saddened that they can’t get off of each others’ throats. I pray fervently for my Protestant brothers and sisters all the time; know that you are loved, and that this Catholic, brimming over with longing and enthusiasm to share what we have with you, wants nothing more than to see you grow closer to Jesus’s wounds daily.
This was a hella good one Shawn. Stay safe, healthy, free, and God Bless America.
It's a good thing I don't live close to him. He's very handsome lol. I would have to move to not lead him astray lol. Lovely man ☺️
I started my OCIA classes yesterday. I've long been disillusioned with the Protestant sect and I became an atheist, but I felt called to Catholicism. I started practicing prayer and I feel that God is showing me signs that I haven't seen before!
Praise God! May you have a peaceful and joy-filled experience.
I wish you well on your journey. May God. Less you always. 🙏☘️
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻May you be blessed on your journey! It’s amazing!!
Glad you are coming home! I will be praying for you. Learning the full catechism of the Church is an amazing experience.

As a person from Croatia/Bosnia & Herzegovina, EVERYTHING Father Rehill has said about Medjugorje is absolutely TRUE! EVERY time my family and I visit, it’s a grace and peace you feel bodily but also spiritually. I have chills coming down my spine typing this.
Peace be with you Father and those listening. This has renewed my Catholic faith and strengthened it profoundly!
You’re so lucky and blessed to be close to Medjugorje!!!
How so? GOD does not have a mother,
& there’s no such thing as purgatory it’s either heaven or hell . And you don’t confess your sins to another man
@ Catholics pray to Mary in the Hail Mary, asking for her intercession and protection.
@@trackhawksauce4321 God doesn't have a mother. But God has sent his son on Earth to be close to people to be human, to be born as a man. That's Jesus.
I've been in such a phase, spirituality, nothing matetial... That's denial.
But we do live in a material world, and the spiritual one at the same time.
God did materialise in Jesus (to some extent).
Denying all these things like Mother Mary etc you're just on a path to deny God.
You should be very careful about reducing God to only a spritual being that is somewhere far from us.
@@trackhawksauce4321Logically yes, God didn't have a mother before His incarnation. He created a being to be the vessel by which He can be incarcerated, the person who will be the source of His bones and flesh and everything bodily about Him. From that point on He had a mother, and continues to have one. He didn't pick some person at random. He created his own mother. No other person in the history of the world can have that accolade. Only Mary, the Theotokos. The Mother of God.
About 28 years ago, Father Daniel gave me a rosary upon his return from Međugorje. Since then, I became a convert to the Catholic faith, and my husband and children are Catholic. I teach Catholic religion at a Catholic high school, named after Our Lady. 🙏 You remain in our prayers, Father Daniel. Great interview, @ShawnRyanShow ! Ephesians 6:12 💪
Did the links in your Rosary change color? If so, what color did they change too?
Heya Cheryl, I'm Tobias, and I wanted to send you a reply, I found reading your narrative super beautiful, thanks 4 sharing ❤
15 years ago the maintenance man of our apartment building gave me a rosary from Medugorje after I asked him to pray for me and my husband as we counseled friends who were going through a rough time. He was from as village near Medugorje
After that I started praying the rosary and delving deeper into the Catholic side of my Anglo-Catholic faith. Going through the catechism of the Catholic Church now with Fr. Mike Schmitz.
Have you ever considered to become a follower of Jesus?
@@doctord9029That is what Catholicism is all about. This is the only Faith instituted by Jesus Christ, Himself, and not merely by a man.
Shawn, I’m a Canadian listener and I love your show! Wanted to comment on this specific episode with father Dan, this episode saved my life I think, I was on a bad spiral for some years now, lot of bad habits let’s just say….I saw myself on one of the description that Father Dan talked about and at that moment I asked god to come back in my life ans in my heart! I knew that at that time that I had a « bad demonic » influence in my life! The minute I asked god to help me everything changed I got back on my path and it cleared my mind,anxiety,depression and all!
This episode gave me back my senses and my life
So thank you with all my heart man!👍🏽✝️✝️✝️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

You're so passed getting raped by your pastor, and you're so far into accepting your homosexuaity, I just think you should give up the facade and run fully into your love if being butte fuct. You love it, it feels good, drop the Jesus facade and lean into homisexuality.... you'll love every minute
You're being called home by Him. St. Michael the Archangel defend us in battle.
We are in THE ultimate battle now of good vs evil for the soul of our country. Leadership will determine our course.
I applaud you patience, took a long time to find a good one.
Same here. I've watched everything there is with Fr. Reehill. The way he talks about these things speaks the loudest to me. Also I'll admit, I was on the crossroads regarding faith. Not anymore though. The line of good and evil was never clearer than in today's world and I'm on the side of light. God bless you all.
Shawn, I don't know what to say, but you are killing it brother. Your shows are second to none. While I am not Catholic, I'm Baptist, this is a great guest and show once again.
Thanks for joining.

He's anointed by the Almighty God and I'm so happy for him. Bless you all for doing this, 🙏! I hope it'll stop people from opening doors, 🙏! 💐💐💐
TAKE A LOOK AT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH BROTHER, REACH OUT WITH ANY QUESTIONS
I was wrapped up in the occult for years constantly obsessing over tarot readings, crystals, witchcraft, etc. As soon as I went to confession after nearly two decades of being away from the Church, I felt a tremendous weight come off me. Not one obsessive thought or dabble in the occult ever since. I receive Holy Eucharist every Sunday and live in His grace and mercy every day. For this, I am ever grateful.
Aww, sorry to hear you gave up your fun and mystical hobby.
Not all crystals are bad dude, I've got one in my watch
Amen
@@JMJILYSS Catholicism is no differ than your old pagan ways. Still deceived. You have no discernment and no Holy Spirit.

I literally broke down and wept when you talked about the beings moving back and forth and their movement sounding like rushing water. When I was a child, about 7 or 8 years old, one Sunday night we came back from church. My brother and I got out of the car running toward the front door, as children do, excited to be home. We heard something and looked up and there was a illuminated white figure in the sky, moving forward over the neighbour's house's roof, floating and the sound, as I have explained it over the years, like static flooded in. I always wondered what it was, I suspected that it could be an angel, but I was never sure. Hearing the description that was given now on this episode I just broke down into tears and thanked God that he allowed me to see one of His creations that night. I will never forget it. It's such an amazing feeling having this revelation.
This was a very enlightening episode. Father explained everything well and I am returning to the Catholic church. Thank you Father and Shawn.
Good to hear!
May God Bless You!

Question…did you read the Geneva Bible as a Protestant?
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
@mariawelter6619 anyone who reads any version of the Bible, is on the correct path. I read king James, but the path is what matters! God will lead.

Me too… Easter Vigil 2007.
As a Catholic, I cannot thank you enough for this episode. Favorite part of the week for sure🙌🏻
You need to repent and stop worshipping Mary
@@jasonbourne5142Catholics don’t worship Mary, educate yourself and stop spreading false information, Catholics and Orthodox ask for her intercession but don’t worship her
@@Jake-pm3pz asking her for intercession is just as bad. You're giving her Jesus' role. That's blasphemous. Jesus is alive ,Mary isn't. Jesus can hear you , Mary cannot. You should educate yourself and learn simple logic.

Thanks Shawn for these great shows. I was a lost Catholic for years and after 22 years I went back to confession reluctantly. I felt the most amazing peace that I have never forgotten it and now I go once a month. Viva Christo Rey!
Thanks for including Fr. Dan, Shawn. Life is not easy and hearing a man with this kind of faith is what I need to hear, regularly.
I agree. I listen to a lot of Matt Frad from pints with aquinas. Hes another catholic youtuber who does podcasts with a variety of people. It helps to hear like minded people talk about the faith when things get tough
Thank you
Agreed 💯
Need more of this type of conversation. ❤
You would feel very blessed listening to Fr. Charles Murr.
Thank you, Shawn. I’m a Protestant but completely applaud the Catholic Church for their reverence of God, Jesus and the Spirit and the recognition of the historic church. Beautiful interview- one of my favorites.
Come home
Now all you need to do is find your local Catholic church and join.
Best interview for this Catholic. I learned so much. Praise Jesus and the Virgin Mary,
Mother and refuge has great material on the faith as well. Utube
Why praise virgin Mary lol. She isn't nobody but a virgin mother
@@Tdiehcsluap She's the Mother of God. Who are you again?
@@PaulDo22she' was the mother of the man christ jesus,SHE DIDNT PRODUCE GOD, AND THE FATHER DOESNT HAVE A MOTHER.READ THE HOLY SCRIPTURES. AND MARY IS NOT DIVINE
@@PaulDo22mary was the mother of the man Jesus of Nazareth, she's not the mother of God,God is eternal, she did not produce God. God used mary to bring the messiah into this world.
I love Father Reehil. I've listened to Battle Ready for a while now & he has taught me so much.
Like MABEY how to molest kids? My priest here in Ca raped me and never was subjected to the LAW!
Cradle Catholic here feeling like I'm going through a second conversion due to a grandchild's devastating medical diagnosis. Crazy thing is I can't get enough of God. This interview was like balm for my soul. I'm a new fan and couldn't be more delighted with this exceptional and authentic content. God bless.
Hold on to Jesus and our blessed Mother Mary! If you have a chance, go to an adoration chapel. Prayers for ur grandchild! Pray a lot to our Blessed mother Mary, as a mom, as a woman she truly understands you. Prayers for ur grandkid💕.
@@lucerogzz2565 that’s pagan bullcrap. Prayer to a dead human. That’s useless just like the Bible says. You’re foolish Mary worship and Catholicism is going to send you to hell. You better repent and believe the gospel of the Bible. You’re Catholic Church is going to send you to hell.
Father Reehil, I'm not Catholic, but so many of the things you've said just have the feeling of truth, of healing. Thank you for your service.
Come check out the Catholic Church.
What are you waiting for? I’m in RCIA at 44! It’s the most awesome feeling and so comforting. Mass is the absolute joy of my week! I can’t believe all these years what I was missing out on. The Catholic Church offers the fullness of Christ, what a blessing! Please come home!
Maybe God is calling you Home :)
Time to convert!
Shawn, I can tell you’re wrestling with the Catholic faith in this interview. I also was a Cradle Catholic who fell away from my faith for many years. When God spoke to me and I returned to Christianity I was so lost. I had acquired so many mixed beliefs from my years spent in New Age philosophies. I went to many different Christian churches seeking a good fit for me. They were always welcoming and Christ centered but I missed the reverence and the Eucharist. When I started reading the Bible from the beginning it became clear to me that God had very reverent worship since the beginning. I also became aware of the early church. I returned to the Catholic Church and it is where I belong. The other denominations were serving me. The Catholic Church is serving Him. Prayers for you on your journey. 🙏🏻 PS I was terrified of confessing to a priest. It was the most wonderful experience and I left there feeling lighter and completely forgiven. Things I had carried heavy on my heart for years went away (I can still remember these things but they no longer carry the burden they did before). Highly recommend this!
Strong post. Studying early Catholicism and early church fathers is really a great way to Jesus...we need to stay alert though 👍
@@sally0404 I was on a similar path but I thank God I was led to the Catholic faith. I have recently been going to a Latin Mass and it is so reverent and holy! I love what you said about the other denominations were serving you but the Catholic Church is serving Him! What a great observation! God Bless You and Keep You Always! 🙏🏻♥️
See Shawn what this video has done for so many?!!!! I know you’ve recently started your journey of Faith & it sure seems like our Father in Heaven has chosen you to reach out to others in renewing their Faith. Thank you Shawn 🙏♥️ God Bless you and your family.
After watching this powerful conversation, I will be purchasing a Catholic Bible and have plans to attend a Catholic service.
That's amazing, I highly recommend looking up the beauty of the Traditional Latin Mass in particular if interested. As Catholics, we believe that the Holy Eucharist is the actual Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ that we are receiving from the hands of the Priest. I pray that you may persevere and one day become confirmed into the Catholic Church, so that you would be able to participate in such a beautiful gift from God! May God bless you.
@@a.r.4093 I am a Catholic convert and I love the Latin Mass! It’s so reverent and holy! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just go straight to the mass ❤ go visit Jesus
Please do it, and if you have a chance, please attend the Latin mass!
God Bless you
Fr Reehil, thank you so much. You have increased my faith for my son’s conversion to the One holy Catholic Apostolic Church
There's only one God. Only one. He died for your sins and rose from the dead.
@@linamarie84 correct, Catholics believe that too
Check out Padre PIO and Saint Charbel
@@linamarie84And there is only one Church founded by Jesus Christ 2000 thousand years ago.
I love this show. I am so happy you had Fr. Dan on your show.
I am a witness and recipient of receiving a rose after saying the novena to St. Theresa. Once when my son was young we started the novena and I told him St. Theresa is supposed to give us a rose. He said prayer works for me and not for him. It was more important now to receive these roses. We were praying the novena for a few days and one day my neighbor who wasn’t Catholic and didn’t know we were saying the novena knocked on my door and said “I was in my garden and something told me to cut these two roses and give them to you”. I thanked her not even thinking about the novena until I was looking through them at my son at dinner and it dawned on me. My son was shocked. In the prayer you say “please St. Theresa of the Little Flower, pick me a rose from a heavenly garden and send it to me with a message of love, ask God to grant me the favor I thee employ and tell Him I will love Him each day more and more”.
I have said this novena several times and I always receive a rose. Once, I said it was a coincidence and if it was from her send another one and then I received a bouquet. I don’t believe in coincidences anymore.
This happened to me too! Roses were blooming on my rose bush the day after my novena in the middle of winter!
Wow I want to try this but I have trouble committing to praying rosary I used do it everyday and now as an adult there’s like a block
Sometimes things are too coincidental to be a coincidence.
Father thankyou for your testimony, I to left the church for 20 yrs for a different reason. I returned 3yrs ago and I am discerning to become a Deacon.
Heavenly Father bless Father Reehil keep him safe from all of Satan's tricks, keep him strong in his faith and send down all graces you wish to give him AMEN
This was one of the most amazing interviews I have ever watched. Im Marine and a retired firefighter. PTSD. I grew up a Catholic, been infighting lots of demons all my life from addictions and anger and no hope.
I recently got back to my faith last October and have been away for awhile. Now focusing and moving forward fighting through the crowds of earthly things to follow Jesus and it’s been a great journey. I am always being tempted or attacked by those demons of addiction playing with you trying to get you back into bad habits. But it’s not working for them. I just dig in deeper lock and load with God and fight even harder. Amen Semper Fi!
Come back to the Catholic Church. We need warriors like you who are willing to fight the good fight!
In love your story!! Martyrs and soldier saints have always been my heroes…love and prayers to you and yours!!
If you need inspiration maybe try reading if you already haven’t the lives of some saints. I recommend St Rose of Lima. She was a true hardcore fighter against demons and completely humbled me into giving up two debilitating long time addictions. All the best and I’ll say a prayer for you.
check out GabiAfterHours. He has incredible catholic videos. Pray the daily rosary! Those addictions dont stand a chance against Mary
As a croatian soldier and roman catholic who always admired USMC this was really inspiring to read. Keep fighting the good fight brother. We never know who silently watches us, and keeps fighting because he sees we're not giving up either ✝️❤🔥
Fr. Reehill’s comment about his dad kneeling at church reminds me of my own dad (born 1949 prior to Vatican II was raised Catholic) and was diagnosed with bone cancer in both hips, had a hip replacement and cancer in many other areas, ALWAYS kneeled during mass.
My dad died on Easter Sunday (1998) at age 47 and I spent many years being so angry with God to the point of apathy!! 🤦🏽♀️
I fell a way from the church and was extremely rebellious for about 25 years and thanks be to God, The Father, the Son and His Holy Spirit, I finally realized my biological father may have died on Easter Sunday but my REAL FATHER, He resurrected His only Son on Easter Sunday by the power of His Holy Spirit and conquered hell, sin and death for me and us all!
How good is GOD??! That GOOD!!!!!!🙏🏻✝️♥️
I am now a devout Catholic and will be forever grateful to God that I now know if I keep fighting the good fight I will see my biological father again and GOD our REAL FATHER too one day!! Hallelujah!! ✝️❤️🩹❤️🔥♥️❤️🔥♥️❤️🔥♥️❤️🔥♥️❤️🔥
My story is very similar though unfortunately not as devout. I start out great but then fall away for a period of time. Please pray for me. May God bless you always.
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I thoroughly enjoyed and learned from this interview. I have so much respect and love for my brothers in Christ, Shawn and Father Dan. They are doing God's work and it is amazing to witness. God bless them and the many other Christians throughout the world who live the Gospel and shine as lights in the darkness.
As a convert to Catholicism roughly 16 years ago, I can tell you that Fr. Reehil is correct regarding confession and forgiveness. There is a “Knowing” that you are forgiven and that feeling of relief and weight that comes off your shoulders is very real and powerful. I spent nearly an hour in my first confession, after all, I had close to 20 years to confess. God uses his priests as chosen vessels to speak to us. In my first confession, the priest asked questions regarding my life, specific questions that only God would have known. It was a an extraordinarily humbling experience. Walking out of confession was a feeling of deep mortification and profound Love. A love that is hard to express in worldly terms, I felt a profound sense of God’s presence and His Divine Mercy.
I’m so glad you had Father Reehil, from my readings and what I have seen, he’s quite special. More men can be priests but not all priests can be exorcists. It takes a deeply spiritual man to be selected as an exorcist and it is not a chosen job in the priesthood, it is assigned and usually comes down from the Pope, by word of other priests, bishops & archbishops.
I was raised Catholic but fell away for approximately 15 years. When I found my way back, confession was just as Fr. Reehil described. When I received absolution, besides the feeling of relief and joy, I felt like bindings were being cut. It was as though I had thick bands wrapped around me and anchoring me down that were immediately removed and I was free for the first time. I had lived in sin for so long that I didn’t even know I had been bound until the bindings of sin were removed.
For those who say, “I can just confess to Jesus. I don’t need a priest.” I tried that prior to going to confession but the oppressive weight was still there. Only when I went to confession did I experience relief (I.e., the joy and peace that comes with forgiveness).
Jesus breathed on the disciples and told them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive they are forgiven and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained” (John 20:22-23). Confession is not “man made”. It’s Biblical.
@@tonyd3276 I agree completely and thank you for sharing your experience. Confession is biblical and your testimony, as well as mine and all those who confess with a repentant heart, solidifies that confession is what Jesus asked for, first through His apostles and later through priests. Your description of the joy and relief you felt is relatable. The darkness of sin that separates us from God will stay with us yet when we confess, the evil that was bound to us is severed. I think Fr. Reehil said something to the effect of “knowing for certain” your sins have been forgiven and you are absolved. I’m glad you found your way back. Peace be with you and to all.
@@tonyd3276I'm in the almost same situation now. Pray for me brother.
Haven't had a confession, a proper one, for about 15 years.
Raised in a very traditional Catholic background and surrounding, I was quote religious up until my early 20s... Then I went through same kind of agnostic phase, then had some kind of my own personal "relationship" with God, went through phases of atheism, antitheism, hate to God, and everything combined in one through some years...
It was a mess and I was far away from God all those years and haven't confessed.
In the last couple of few years I've been coming back to God gradually since that was the only thing left for me in all that darkness.
I feel I'm somewhat closer to God now, but still very far away and I think I absolutely have to confess, fully and properly to get back to God and live a true life.
But I have no courage to do that step and have been constantly delaying it. It just feels too awkward to confess all that, especially not confessing for more than a decade, to a man (even though he's a priest). Especially in this very traditional place.
I've been praying for God and Jesus to help me to confess I hope you do that for me, brother too.
I would love it if I could confess to a pries like father Reehil, feels it would be easy to confess to a man that's been through some similar things like me... It would just feel very strange to confess to a priest who hasn't come across something like this or would be judgemental or something like that.
@@siberianTiger639 Please go and confess. Don't waste any more time apart from God, or trying to control the way God will forgive you, He already has but you have your part to do. There is nothing you will say or have done that can stop God from loving you. If you need a gentle push I'm shoving you. Go please.
The Roman catholic church was taken over by Satan circa 300 AD. Roman catholic practices are overwhelmingly pagan, *NOT* Christian. Confessing to a priest is a PAGAN practice found nowhere in the Bible.
Came home to the Catholic Church last Easter Vigil. Best decision of my life. My beautiful wife and three children came with me and we are all thriving. I hope Mr. Ryan comes back to the fold soon.
@TNCruiser
When the "catholics" started placing the "CCC" above the Word of God, they fell into the same paradoxical error that Israel did with the babylonian-Talmud, when they placed the babylonian-Talmud over the Word of God!!!!
If you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you know what I am saying is True!!!
@coltercannington766 So, what is the true denomination then? So by saying this, do you deny the Holy Eucharist?
@@coltercannington766 Nah, I have faith in Jesus and the promises he made to the church. I also used to think along the lines you do. May God bless you and hopefully one day you will see the truth.
@@coltercannington766don’t confuse the Vatican with the one holy Catholic and apostolic church founded by Jesus by making Peter the first pope. The first like 35 popes are martyrs for the name, most only had to renounce the name of Jesus to be spared.
Please. If you read the Bible you’d hate Catholicism. You’re just religious.
Just WOW!!
THIS WAS AN EPIC SHOW!
My Faith was just renewed.
Thank you Shaun, thank you Father Reehil AND THANK YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST 🙏
If it was renewed...have you lost your faith at one point?
@@Ben-i2kbasically. It happens more often then you think. Sometimes life has us questioning just about everything , and reminders are sent through God for us his children to recognize it’s much bigger than us. Having faith restored is a beautiful thing, as faith can grow deeper after you remove the barriers and obstacles in the way. ❤ God Bless SRS for this episode and God Bless the souls who slept and will sleep on this.
@@jmac3st i kind of struggle with my faith at the moment...
Man...how can you find the path in the dark once you are lost in it?
@ lord, i jst spent 30 minutes typing a real story about my ugly childhood , ended jo dads nd rd ritzuyiuThis is wayyy
Pray, and leave your questions for an other day, that is what helped me, whenever i was doubting.
you don’t need to fully grasp all things christianity right now, with prater, god will reveal in due time if you seek.
I personally used to experience a lot of negative emotion wile doubting the faith, which is to be expected when the whole world seems to be shaking, if you take my meaning. Never go on thinking if your emotions start playing up, they are not bad but they are not conducive for rational thinking.
That is my advice, from a fellow sinner and a fellow doubter as we all are. God bless!
I shall pray for you.
I am LDS and am so grateful for this interview!!! There is so much I don't know or understand about different faiths. Through these conversations it helps bring more truth and light to us.I love the bold bluntness of this priest! He has no fear. A true holy warrior of God. It's no longer about my church is better than your church. It's about being followers of Christ and all of us being safely gathered by the Good Shepherd. No matter where we are in our life, we can follow him and find common ground in Christ's atonement and be his hands, eyes, ears for each other as we learn to hear his voice guide us and burn off all our unholiness and receive his grace. Good works are still a key component because if we don't practice holiness we won't be comfortable in that environment. It's all about being willing to receive grace and learn through eternal progress.
I was protestant my whole life (42 years). I always felt that all the churches that I went to were missing something. Some of the members and other Christians that I knew always argued about which Bible was accurate. A lot of King James only people. I started looking into the Church from before the whole King James version was written. In doing so, I kind of went down a rabbit hole that led me to the early Church fathers. I started doing more and more research and seen where the churches that I went to had it wrong. I was then to the point of looking into the Catholic Church and into Orthodox. I decided to attend the Catholic church in my area one Sunday for Mass, which is actually Father Reehils church. I finally felt like the things missing in the other churches, was there. I was in tears with the presence of God there. I quickly got into RCIA, which was amazing. I was drilling the teachers with all the normal protestant questions. By the end, I was sure that the Catholic church, was the Church that Jesus started. I was confirmed by Father Reehil 3 weeks ago.
Welcome home!!! ♥️
Welcome home 🎉🎉🎉
❤🙏
Functioning alcoholic trying to quit, im going to church Sunday and bought the Catholic version of the bible after watching this. Didn't even know I had the protestant bible this whole time.
Praise God ! My husband is finally sober. I will pray for you. The Catholic Bible has 7 more books . I’m Catholic
Work the 12 steps THOROUGHLY and you will know what a spiritual experience means. 20 years for me this December and I wouldn't have made it without AA and the 12 steps.
Praise God! Dont let the devil talk you out of going. I would also strongly recommend you buy a rosary (amazon is fine!) and pray it daily. it is a powerful prayer weapon against addiction and it will radically change your life through gace. You can learn how to pray it on any catholic website or follow along on youtube. Ill be praying for you!
I have heard the opposite of addiction is community. Perhaps check out some of the parish activities and join the church groups to find support and commodore. This way you can help people and find support at the same time.
God bless you and I pray you find the courage to keep going. I pray you are filled with grace and peace from our Lord and I pray you find heavenly protection even in your darkest hours. Jesus is always there with you if you let him be. God bless you ❤
God bless you, encourage you to join AA even if it's over zoom
Thanks Shawn and Father Dan Reehil. As a catholic coast guard officer here in the Philippines, this interview had me smiling, laughing and crying at the same time. In the end, you + JESUS = Victory. Love from the Philippines!!!
God bless you my brother. I have been crying too. The fruit of Christ in the Philippines is so great and I truly love your people. Please keep preaching christ and the rosary. It is the weapon that will destroy the kingdom of darkness.
Absoutly the best podcast interview I've ever seen...Ground breaking for shy away Catholics,Christians,..I have to be better In my relationship with Father, Son, and HolyGhost real eye opener for me as a Catholic..Thanks for the message I received.!!!
Definitely one of my favorite episodes! I’m a non-Catholic Christian and I feel like I have more in common with Catholics than differences. I think in America we Christians get so caught up on our differences instead of focused on our commonalities that we miss the boat and allow Satan a foothold. May God bless these two men and protect them while they fight the good fight. 🙏
Agreed. We moved to the south and as a Catholic, Southern Baptists and Pentecostals never hold back in telling me I am not a true "Christian" and how we "worship Mary" and on and on (which of course I know is not true.) I never argue back I just pray that Jesus softens their hearts and helps them to understand it doesn't really matter what Church you go to, as long as you follow HIM and HIS teachings we are all children of God. It shouldn't be us against them it should be ALL for HIM.
@jennyt6159 I'm a Brit who was living in The South getting all the same criticism regarding being Catholic. Just like you I never argued the point.. We're all walking in faith and one day I hope people can just recognize the importance of unity
Mostly arrogance and ego.
@@Theophilus1968 you’re a fool if you think that about Catholicism.
@@jennyt6159 indeed.
"The art of dying well is directly correlated to the art of living well... Putting God in the center of your life. Trying to live a life worthy of the message Jesus left us with the Gospels". Thank you very much Father Reehil 🙏
We love Father Reehil!!! Thank you for this podcast. He is an amazing man. Everyone should listen to how he became a priest. God bless all who listen to this and all of your followers.
He is definitely Cool and spirit filled, down to earth really a blessing listening to him 👍👍
Amen, 🙏! 🤍🤍🤍
I love listening to Fr Reehil. He has answered so many of my questions! I fell away from the church over 30 years ago and largely thanks to him I am making my way back to the Faith.
He is truly rounding up the flock
Stay Solid, Father Dan!❤
I love Father Rehill so much. He took me back to my faith and church and now I pray everyday for my guardian angel. He’s amazing and a true kind soul.
Wonderful episode, Father Dan is who got me interested in Catholicism when I watched him on Michael Knowles. You're both so intelligent and humble, thank you for this conversation ❤ Christ is King
Awesome!
@@ShawnRyanShow why didn’t you call him out for all the abuses the Catholic Church has done? For instance the Boston Globe report? Seriously, you’re better than that.
@@JohnSmithyy365dude, is that news to you? The church has reformed all safety measures and is safer than any public school. It was acknowledged and awful. It's infiltration at its worst. Have you heard of Bella Dodd?
@@JohnSmithyy365You obviously didn’t even watch the podcast, because Father Dan was sexually abused by a priest when he was a child
@JohnSmithyy365 for the same reason we don't call you out on all the abuses perpetrated by men, John.
Because that wouldn't be logical or fair.
You may have limited intellect, but why not try to use it a bit better anyway?
Deleted my Facebook and Instagram accounts and app from my phone. Going tomorrow for my first confession after 15 years and going to mass with my daughter right after.
Hopefully with time and the help of God I can convince my husband to become catholic 💙 thank you for this!
This is Amazing!
Great news!
God bless you and your family!🎉
This is Amazing, and great news!

Praise God! All of Heaven rejoices when the lost sheep is found. I've been practicing our Catholic faith for 4 years, after more than a decade steeped in mortal sin. I'm forever filled with gratitude for God's healing and mercy in Confession. Your life begins anew tomorrow!
Welcome back home
Like Father said, you will be attacked. Keep the faith and call on the name of Jesus over and over and over during your time of transition. Don’t give in to other people’s weakness - center yourself on the Eucharist…❤
I have listened to your podcast for a while now and thanks for having Father Dan on. As an operator (18) back in the early 80s, I figured my days in the Catholic religion were over, forty-five years away from God. After listening to your story and Father Dan's, I decided to join a Catholic church in Forest City NC again and confess my list of regrets (sins). I do feel better. Keep up the great work. Sincerely, Alan.
I have been back and forth with faith for a while, but this has stoked my fire. I am going to follow and love god. I dont have a rosary or bible yet, but i will do my best to fix that. Thank you father dan and shawn for opening my eyes to the lord. I will pray for you both.
There are many free Bible apps!
I am a cradle Catholic and have been in and out of the Church over my 45 years. What finally led me back to Jesus was watching the Chosen. I know that sounds really corny BUT it made Jesus so real, loving, kind, merciful and it just left me wanting more, to learn more to know more, to grow closer to Him. The Chosen put out an amazing little book that is just the Gospels so it's not overwhelming and easy to understand Jesus' teachings, which is all HE wanted us to do was listen, learn and follow Him. Blessings to you on your journey dear one.
Start with a simple New Living Translation Bible. It will fill your heart with joy and peace and give you an excellent overview of the Bible. There's also summaries of the Bible, which can help alot. Not to replace Bible but accompany it because sometimes some things can be confusing. God Bless you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@leannedeleeuw4122Holy App is free and has everything, I love it !
It's an app call Through the Word, that is audio. The Bible is read and there is an explanation of the scripture provided also.
I’m a former Protestant in RCIA right now can’t wait to be confirmed so I can be absolved of my sin and receive my first Eucharist. Once I realized how the early Church worshipped and how important the Eucharist is, it was a no brainer.
I’m a convert from the Baptist tradition, and I will tell you that it has been the best decision of my life. I go to Mass daily and my relationship with Jesus has exploded. I just wish everyone could research the early Church fathers. Jesus started a Church, he didn’t leave us a Bible. There is too much to type, but I am just so excited for you!! St. Margaret Clitherow, pray for us ❤️🔥🙏🏻🌹
@@MrAwak3 then I’m sure you’ve read the Bible in Mathew. Jesus said, take eat this bread, drink from this cup for the remission of sins. No need further than to accept Jesus into your heart your mind and your soul and believe that he walked. The Earth was crucified and died and was resurrected. That’s how you get remission from your sins. Also confess to God only no man can absolve you.
Welcome home❤
You can go in prayer right now to Jesus and ask for forgiveness and if you believe in the Gospel, you will be absolved of your sins. You don't need to be a confirmed Catholic. May God Bless you. ❤
You are so deceived...
While attending the Mass, all the senses are experienced, touch, smell, sight, taste, and touch.
The Mass is the ultimate form of worship and once I knew what the Mass was, I never been bored while attending Mass.
Thanks for Shawn interviewing Father Reehil.
The mass is an evil act and is Antichrist just like Catholicism
There is no mass without sacrifice....the Eucharist is the source and summit of all at Holy Mass amen
My heart is so full of happiness to see all of you people going back to attend mass. Welcome back, brothers and sisters in Christ
Let’s go! Fr. Reehill is the best. Christ is King! ✝️
Amazing podcast today! I’m so happy about your conversion. I am also coming back to the Catholic faith after 20 years of not wanting anything to do with it. Today I’ve been sober for about 4 1/2 years and I’ve been cleaned for almost 2 years. Come February and now I’m coming back slowly to the Catholic faith… I really loved this episode! Well done, & keep em’ coming!
Congratulations
Welcome back, brother 😊
Welcome home. 🙏🏻❤️🙌🏻
Father Dan Reehil is the one who did our Catholic marriage prep!!! Awesome!
Wow!! What a blessing!!
I was at an hour and twelve minutes and I decided to pray. Sometimes when I pray I feel like I’m doing it wrong or saying the wrong things but sometimes when I get it right I get chills from the bottom of my feet all the way up my spine and down my arms and that’s what happened this time. It was right before I was leaving work for the day and my boss said I’m gonna start giving you more money, closer to where you deserve to be and we both got teary eyed and basically just showed gratitude for my hard work. We both took in the moment and it was beautiful. God is great.
The same way when I pray and get the same chill on my arms and thank him for his presence
I was an altar boy my whole young life and went to a boarding Catholic HS with priests who taught us. I never had an issue with a Priest, like what Father and many other have experienced. Thanks be to God.
Some bad apples otherwise we have amazing priests
How awesome is it to receive a rosary blessed by Our Lady! That's such an honor. Great gift, great interview. Thank you Shawn and Father Reehil! ❤
Yes! I have one too! 🙏🏼♥️
I know! This is basically a relic. How lucky!
@@AraceliVillanuevaBizhow do we get one?
Shawn, compelling and inspiring me back to the Catholic Church. Thank you, god bless!!!
This is one powerful episode, led me to realize that the aversion I had to the scripture was Satan inside me. All the doubts and little questions I had were indirectly or directly answered with this interview. Hopefully one day I can meet Father Reehil to thank him for the blessing
This was an amazing interview, Shaun. Fr Reehil is one of my favorites. You're lucky to have him so close to home for you and your family. I will continue to pray for you and Fr. Reehil. Peace!
When Father says we haven’t had the age of the Holy Spirit yet… it makes total sense that this could becoming upon us now. Myself and so many of my peers have been feeling the call back to the Church and an urge to seek out God once again. And after calling out to God he’s been rushing back into our hearts like a flood of Love. And I feel like He’s constantly putting things in my daily life that reminds me I’m back on the wholesome path to serve Him. Exciting times, even amongst all the dark things happening currently.
I'm so sorry to say this to you and don't let this upset you.... i know for a fact the Holy Spirit is upon us. Many Christians have it if they are not religous and develop relationship. Jesus promises us the holy spirit if we believe in him and keep the commandments. This is in John 14:15. It does take time and dedication. Hope this helps and doesn't discourage you. You can have it too. It does require work. Like meditation, prayer, worship etc.. ❤❤❤ It's too precious to explain because i don't want to be mocked but that's okay. We are in special times. So I must.
Wow, just got wonderfully educated on the Catholic faith just listening to Father Reehil's life 🙏
The amount of people inspired to go back or to join church makes my heart so full of joy! Thank you, Shawn. I can’t wait for a part 2 or your account while going to Fr. Reehil’s church. God bless you and everyone here who are seeking the way, the truth, and the life! 🙏
I'm an Asian, born and raise as conservative Christian until nowadays, and I'm glad you invite Father Dan Reehil to your podcast. People need to hear it and back to Jesus.
Thanks, both of you are warrior of the Christ!!
Being Asian matters why?
I was wondering the same thing. I’m American and I love Jesus and the Holy father.
Certainly not the first Asian I've met with Jesus's duck way down their throat.
@escenthioloch6286 are you still with your first boyfriend?
@@TimTrOn3000what?
I prayed to St. Terese and had no idea about the rose. After doing this prayer leading up to my mom's death anniversary. Suddenly I smelled Roses, but stronger than any Rose I have ever smelled on earth. It's awesome! It took me a while to actually find out the stories about this Novena.
I prayed for my mother after she died, prayed that she was in heaven, weeks to a month after she passed. After praying at home I suddenly smelled roses that was a stronger scent of roses I have ever smelled. I’am not Catholic.
@Tamara_W I honestly believe it's from heaven. When I smelled them it was on the anniversary of her death. And God knows I'm stressed out about where my parents are. It's such a gift from God, to give us reassurance
It almost made me feel like someone was present, either my mom, an Angel, Mary or was it a just a gift of reassurance from heaven. It's such good gift to know your mother is in a better place
@@marksilva2929 After reading your comment, I believe it was my answer that my mother was in heaven.
@@Tamara_W remember that Jesus said that we have to be like children, and children notice these things. Pay attention to her death anniversary if something stands out. God is amazing in these little signs he gives us. You will start noticing things in your daily life. It took me a long time to see things as Gods presence in my life. Yes you definitely got your answer!!!
I'm not catholic nor will I ever be because there are some things I disagree with. That said, there were some profound things he said that struck me deeply and apply to all Christians. I'll be going to church this Sunday for the first time in 15 years. Thank you for this episode Shawn. It's really been eye opening to help me realize that I never should have walked away from my faith.
Nice! I’m excited for you to go back to church after 15 years!
God be with you brother
There is power in the name of Jesus. I feel our days are running fewer and fewer with present evil in the world. May God richly bless you as you pursue him.
Never say never. Seek truth. See where it goes
Ya could have just started at 'there were some profound things....' why even mention Catholicism other than to poke a jab at it?
Don't like it? No reason to speak of it

I didn’t think he said he came back to the Catholic church, but I do have a feeling he is on his way back now!
Thank you Shawn and Father. This episode has convinced me to go back to confession and back to the church.
Brilliant! God bless you
My friends sent me this link. I asked my son if he knew about you and he said he follows you, Shawn. I started to tell him about this episode with Fr Reehill and he said he couldn't sleep last night and watched the whole thing. I was blown away by this episode! I've started following you,, Shawn, and I'm going to find Dr. Reehill's radio show Battle Ready. Thank you both for all this!

Thank you Shawn for having Father Reehil on your show! He is such a down-to-earth spiritual guide. His method of communication makes speaking of faith, devotion and Jesus somehow more REAL. When he speaks, you just *know* he is being truthful. (LOVE YOUR PODCASTS!!).
