Brandon’s comment that he’s never heard one anti-Protestant comment in a homily is so true, me either, not once. I’m proud of that!!!
@@vintage53-coversandorigina37 yup Catholics to busy abiding in the sacraments, especially the eucharist.
I feel so naive! I'm a life-long Catholic. I worked in a Rectory for 19 years and it wasn't until I started listening to these conversion videos that I found out how Protestants, all denominations, feel about Catholics! Never in all my years going Catholic School, attending Mass and working in a Rectory have I ever heard one bad word about Christian denominations or ever them being mentioned at all.
@@michele-ktI was talking to a guy in the Gym where I go….He’s inviting me to one of their Bible Study, I replied politely that I can’t join them on that day but maybe next time I’ll go and listen (I want to hear about their church)…. And then he asked, which Church do you go to? I said, I go to St. Mary’s Catholic Church…he start telling me that a lot of Catholic’s are Alcoholic, I laughed so hard and told him, I’m Catholic all my life and the only time I have tasted Alcohol was when I got married. I probably just had a zip and that was it! lol! He avoids me now whenever I see him at the Gym! 😂😂
@@analynnmedina7414that's what happens when we generalise. Hope he realized that it was God that had placed him on your path to debunk his impression of Catholics.
Me neither. I didn’t even think they had an issue with Catholics until I reverted back to my faith on an online chat.
I am a 64 years old cradle Catholic that stumbled upon Catholicism when I was 52. I am addicted to conversions stories and I probably watched every episode of The Journey Home with Scott Hahn at least five times. I can remember watching Keith's very first conversion video and his episode on The Journey Home show. BUT this story of Brandon's is my absolute favorite conversion story. God Bless both you two men. Thank God we have you in our Church right now. Viva Christo Rei!!!
Hey Bryan have you heard Estelle’s?? She’s really the one that got me to follow Keith!!😊
Viva!
@@melmerk12 Wow, I just watched Estelle's video "My Side of the Story". Thank you so much for pointing this out. The part about going to confession in Medjugorje is so amazing. How lucky we are to have both Keith & Estelle in The Church. Thank you Jesus!!!
I too am addicted to Journey Home on EWTN and the storis of converts, as I am one too, when I got married to my husband Gary. That was my Profession of Faith on August 15, 1970. I heard Estelle's story this morning and when I googled Keith's name, I came on this particular podcast.
@@lauriecoykendall2779 Thanks for the feedback. Great to have you in our Church, What is favorite JH episode?
This was a great testimony. I hope and pray my wife will join me in the Catholic Church.
Please God, I pray and believe that you will bring my son back to the Catholic Faith! He is on FIRE for the Lord...but is in nondenominational church!
If you pray the Rosary at least once a day, your son will come back ❤
Praise God he is on fire for Jesus! Wherever that is. Trust that Jesus will lead him exactly where he needs to go! Perhaps this is where he needs to be right now. I look back on my journey here and can’t give this testimony if it wasn’t for these non denominational churches. Praying for him and your family!
Yes, be happy he's on fire for Jesus! 😀
I've always been a cradle Catholic. (a lukewarm Catholic). I went to a non-denominational church for years and although it was a wonderful experience and learned what it was like to have a relationship with Jesus, in the latter years, felt I wanted/needed more. The Lord led me back to the fullness of truth, the Church He established, the Catholic faith. ❤ Thanks be to God for His plan is perfect and in His perfect timing. ✝️🙌🏻❤️.
Don't lose hope, show the Lord's goodness in your life and pray always.
Blessings 😊
I'm praying for you and your son right now my sister in Christ
@@bcarollo1you're absolutely right sir! Even though I've been a three pack a day smoker most of my adult life, I always prayed a rosary before my first cigarette when my mom was in her second coma NC not only got out of that
i've made a similar post on another one of your videos. I hope Brandon will read this. My father, a Catholic, married my mother, a Lutheran and they had my sister and I. My father took my sister and I to mass every week by himself occasionally, my mom would join us. daddy went to daily mass, said the rosary daily and always taught us to put God before anything . Over the course of our life Mamma became more and more involved and interested and started taking theology classes on her own. She was confirmed into the Catholic faith with my sister about 16 years after they had been married. My father never pressured her to join the Catholic faith. Over the years mammas parents, her sister, her brother-in-law, their two children, and those children's husbands and children all became Catholic. Our Abba is so good, be patient and pray for their conversion!
What a blessing how your kids took a liking to the Mass right away. After our family went to Mass for the first time, my oldest, then 3, as I was strapping her into the car seat said "that felt familiar". Oh, my heart!
What a beautiful testimony , the work of the Holy Spirit. Congratulations Br. Brandon. I pray every day that all non Catholics may come to know the fullness of TRUTH.
I am non Catholic ... I know the fullness of TRUTH because of the incorruptible seed of Jesus I experienced through the born again experience... From that moment till now 34 years later... He continues to change me from the inside out through His precious word and Holy Spirit teaching and guiding me into all truth! Blessed to know Him and waiting for our blessed hope! “and the Spirit and the Bride say... come Lord Jesus come” Revelation 22:17🙌🏻
May the many lukewarm cradle Filipino Catholics listen to this testimony. Thank you for your work Keith❤and thank you Brandon for sharing your story.
The beauty of the Catholic mass: so many ways and opportunities to encounter grace.
@1:09:11 … ‼️TRUTH‼️..my goodness…made tears stream from of my eyes….How Blessed are your dear children & your lovely wife? 🙏🏼❣️ GLORY TO GOD 🙏🏼 Oh St Joseph, protector of The Holy Infant & His Immaculate Mother, PRAY FOR US 🙏🏼❤️
Only Jesus (God) was sinless!!
Mary is not God
The best prayer you can ever offer to God is attending the catholic Mass and receiving ( if you’re in the state of grace) holy communion
Maybe sometimes we should combat some of the nonsensical objections or accusations by people telling us what we believe about Mary, etc., that we say, "Come and see. You are welcome to come to Mass anytime and see what we do and how we worship and love God. Come and see how we pray and what we are taught."
Very insightful point! 🙏
@@mariewillis545 that's a nice thought, but those who are born again and have their eyes opened are not fooled. Example... Catholic Church has a separate priesthood. For what reason did God originally establish a separate priesthood when he intended for His people to be a kingdom of priests? It was because of the sin of worshiping a false God! Then only the Levites were to be the priests. But now under the New Covenant, the barrier of sin has been removed! There is no longer a need for a priesthood to go between and offer sacrifice. Why does this church act like nothing has changed?
Something is wrong here. People who know Jesus and what He has done realize it's saying the wrong thing.
1 Peter 2:9
[9]But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
If the New Covenant of Grace makes a difference, then we should act like it.
Hebrews 10:9
[9]Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
They object because that’s all they have.
Doesn’t matter what you try to correct. It is still a works “Cain” based religion. Always been a pattern of those that know grace and men who want God to accept their works. Sacraments are still of a form of works. You doing something to get favor from God vs Abel accepting the simple blood sacrifice .There are Cains and there are Abel. Protestant align more with Abel.
@@jaypritchard7122God is the only one who can give grace. Works are a commandment.
The family and I are excited for the premiere!
Thanks for your testimony Brandon. Found myself well up with tears a few times. God bless you and your family.
@@Vincenzo-wn1orit’s an honor to share to Gods glory. Bless you!
Your testimony has been a gift for me this morning. Be blessed
@@josephineogaro9749🙏
What an amazing testimony Brandon. Great interview Keith
I was born and bred a catholic. Throughout my life, I have talked to others, but never considered anything other than the host is Christ - nonnegotiable. Converting easy, no problem.
Nay nay! With that said, I am having so much fun listening to your interviews. They are teaching me about the incredible journey that it takes to be a Catholic. I kind of understand why it would take seven years to convert. Kinda.
Stories like this are why you should alway encourage your parish to take the Mass incredibly seriously.
NO or TLM. A devout and serious congregation that truly seeks to perform the Mass as the most sacred thing in the universe will bring more converts than 10,000 youtube videos ever could.
God calls us to be Saints! Now that is the ultimate vocation!
Great job...I'm in Ocala & close to st Augustine.....what a powerful witness!
44 minutes in and I am smilingly with so much joy about Brandon's story...
Watching from the UK.
Stay safe
What part?
I was so blessed by his testimony, specially wanting his wife conversion for his own benefit and CHANGING THAT PRAYER and seeing God work the miracle!!! All praise to God!!!
Fun fact. Gordon-Conwell was a Carmelite Junior Seminary before protestants took it over. They’re still graduating Catholics. 😊
Yes, and they sure are on fire! 😂 I love that background story of the seminary 😂
Great conversion story!!! Great show.
Fantastic testimony! Welcome home Brandon! Many thanks for sharing Keith, you are doing the Lord's work!
Watching from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬
as a cradle catholic, hearing two converts talk about the behind-the-scenes conversion process is so enjoyable, hopeful, and insightful. Thank you! I am inspired to invite more protestants to attend adoration and mass. Thank you Keith!
Thank you so much for sharing, God bless you, Brandon 🙏 Irene London England 🇬🇧
It was an honor! Thanks for tuning in!
@@brandonforschino
@@brandonforschino I have subbed... Thinking also of starting my own channel.... As I spend so much time correcting errors of our separated brethren.
Watching from Halifax Nova Scotia 🇨🇦. Loving this .
Just spent 3 weeks traveling Nova Scotia. Beautiful!
Nova Scotia is on my bucket list! Louisiana Cajun here!😊 wanting to see where my family roots began.
@@melmerk12 what part of NS are your family roots?
@@louangesaves3481 the Acadians, we were exiled from there by the British and ended up in Louisiana. The Congre de Mondiale is happening around there this week. Have you heard of it??
@@melmerk12 of course I heard of it. Aug 15 , 1755 . I actually grew up in an Acadian village but am not Acadian myself.. hope you make it here , it’s a stunning province ..
Methinks we will encounter Brandon again. He is an articulate and compelling speaker and apologist for Catholicism.
Brandon what a great testimony of conversion and faith in Jesus
Faith, Hope and Love 🙏🇦🇺🦘✝️
What an amazing story from Brandon! Thanks Keith 🙏 Glory to Jesus Christ
Amen preach on!
BRANDON and Scott Hahn!?
Keith and Steve Ray!?
You BOTH were DIVINELY SO BLESSED!
Hey Keith, the only reason I watch your RUclips channel is so that you can tell me how incredible it is!
Ps.Please don't stop.
LOL!
I love these interviews. They give me hope that one day, my Presbyterian preacher, youth group leader son-in-law will one day come home to The Church.
Wonderful and very encouraging conversation. Thank you both for your kindness and generosity, and for affirming us Catholics. Greetings from the Philippines.
Welcome home..
Greetings from Indonesia.
Watching from Malaysia. 🇲🇾
Keith, we are blessed to have you on youtube and also a parishioner at Immaculate Conception in Cedar Rapids. when I see you at daily Mass I think "well if this famous guy Keith can take time for daily mass, who am I to think I am too busy"
Thanks Greg! God bless. I need to get there more too.
Welcome home brother 🙏❤️
🙏🙏😊
Tutto questo episodio si potrebbe riassumere con 2 parole: Divina Provvidenza. ❤
Avete ragione!
The mount of transfiguration. The cloud. The bread given from heaven. Wow. Jut wow. Mind blown.
Greetings from Singapore ! 🇸🇬
What an Inspiring , Awesome & Beautiful Testimony !👍👏
Thank You Both Gentlemen for this.
May the Lord and Our Blessed Mother , Bless you Both and your Families too. 🙏🏻
I came back after visiting my parish's Adoration chapel and am finishing this interview. It keeps getting better!
🙏🙏
Thanks, Keith, for working so hard to make this interview available.
We can meditate the Word of God everytime when we pray the Rosary. Have the Holy Bible open to everyone at home and read it everyday is also very good for meditation. ❤❤❤
The Holy Spirit is on move to gather aĺl God's children ❤❤
Welcome home my dear brother in Christ. Very inspiring testimony! God bless
Wow what a beautiful story ! God is so good, i love my God, love my heavenly Mother too. Thank you Keith for bringing this great guess. Thank you. Welcome home brother.
We have a small but very wonderful Catholic community in Oklahoma. We have 2 diocese, one in Okla City and one in Tulsa.
Awesome interview! Keith dropping dimes ⛹️♂️, Brandon dropping buckets 🏀🗑️
Blown away again! Powerful testimony! Praise God ❤❤
I truly believe if you are God’s chosen person , it doesn’t matter what/who you are, God will call you back home. I love watching conversion stories. It helps me truly appreciate my Faith now. For many years I have also taken it for granted just because I was born into the faith. Just so glad with God’s grace and his Mercy, I did not lose my life while wondering in the wilderness of sin. God is Amazing!!❤
Thank you Brandon and Keith!
Welcome home Brandon & Family! Great interview, ty
Thank you for sharing your journey to catholic; in some way your witness inspire me to live my catholic faith much better and proudly.
God is good. He makes sure His WILL is done accordingly. Praise God. Watching from the Solomon Islands
What a great story. Thanks Keith.
Absolutely AMEN brothers 🙏
Watching from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks God for your patience in spreading the good news about our Lord Jeus Christ . Thanks God for being a Catholic
Thank you for these conversion stories! My husband grew up in Winterset Iowa we will be there next month! God bless! 🙏
God Bless you both❣️🙏🏼
You both are the modern disciples of Jesus! Please keep the fire going, brothers! 🙏🏼
Thank you! It is such a great talk /show! I share it with my friends and pray they will listen and access the true and full salvation via Catholic Church!
Amazing Interview thank you both 🙏
Congratulations on your conversion ⚜️ Deo Gratias
A wonderful interview that was paced well. 🎧
I enjoyed hearing about the path from entrepreneurship to discipleship.
This is not meant as a criticism just a suggestion. When the guest has the camera 📷 directly in front of him there is great 👍🏼 pictorial content behind him on the wall.
However when the camera 🎥 pans to show us the side view where there is a blank wall except for the cross. ✝️
I believe a few more photos/pictures with books 📚 similar to the Pints with Aquinas set up gives the viewer an even more interesting 🧐 opportunity to learn about Catholicism. Visual space, lighting, colour of the set design will help warm more people to the videos. Visual Design plays a crucial role in storytelling, by conveying a certain depth and realism that complements the narrative.😊🎙️🛋️
I thoroughly appreciate the time taken to put this together for us. 👏🏼
You do a terrific service for the Lord and you’re helping me with my rosary 📿 every single day. Thank you very much for all that you have done, are doing and what youre planning to do. 💡
God Bless you and yours. 🙏 🇦🇺🦘🐨
This interview and witness is so beautiful, what a testimony to God the Father's patient love!
Good afternoon Crew! 😊
I love ❤ the converts you bring to your channel. Thank you 😊 💓
Great testimony. Thank you!!
Watching from the Philippines! Thank you Keith for your youtube channel. Godbless you
58:35 "I need her to rest in my arms, i need you to wake up." Wow!!!
Made he tear!
I loved that part too!
It was a beautiful testimony. Much appreciated!
GREAT conversation gentlemen.
This was such a great interview!
Keith...you have found your gift, the interview! Having two men so devoted to Jesus discuss what being Catholic means has incredible value.
Plus, Brandon is right. Catholics (including me!) do need to fall in love with Scripture and see how it nourishes us.
Thank you to both for this wonderful interview!
@@pattysayssew3609 Did I hear the same interview? I heard Brandon talking about church church, church and never mention anything about what Jesus has done for him.
Hearing these conversation stories are totally inspiring and a real shot in the heart to me being a cradle catholic! Thank you for sharing while I will continue to keep you and your blessed family in my prayers ❤
Amazing interview Keith!! His story has blown my mind!!! You two make the dynamic duo of converts!!!
Looking forward to your next interview! You have a gift of putting people at ease! Keep it going And God Bless!!! 😇🙏💟✝️
Way to go, Keith, getting this interview out so quickly- as you promised.
It is EXCELLENT!!
Wow Keith, these guests and conversations you have are amazing! I am a cradle Catholic and learn so much from you and your guests. When he talked about God the father being hidden in the clouds in the old testament and then saying why can't Jesus be hidden in the bread, the bells just started going off in my head. I never made that connection. A grace filled moment! God bless you Keith and your beautiful ministry 🙏🙏
Keith, all your guest and their stories are incredible! You are incredible and your apostolate is incredible too! ❤🙏
Watching from UK 🙏
Such a good interview with Brandon, learned n feel inspired ❤🙏🏼 Bring it on with more !!
Keith, you are a good interviewer and I like how you don’t have a table between you and the guest. You have a pastoral approach.
Thank you!
Watching from Auckland New Zealand 💙🙏
Amen Keith the Catholic Church is for everybody. The poor the rich, the educated the uneducated…praise God Almighty 🙌🏽
What a great, and inspiring testimony. Thank you so much for sharing, I want to hear more and learn more in Jesus name amen 🙏🏿 ❤
Keith your right. God has ministry for all of us but starts with our availability. By virtual of baptism we are all priests, kings and prophets
Wonderful testimony.Thank you for sharing.
I’m catholic I don’t really pray with idols but when I go to church I pray to my lord & Mary that’s what I like
Hi, which catholic pray with idols or statues? It is wrong thinking! Statues are there to remind us how the saints practise their faith and their virtues acquired. Just like a photo remind us of someone we know. We are Not statue worshippers
This is beautiful Keith, thank u and continue to do this and get to know more brothers and sisters and the story behind how they come home to the Catholic Church ❤
Amen Keith🙏
Another great vid: guest, questions, set up, editting. Keep it up
Hi Keith & Brandon. Excellent interview, so many more confirmations that I am on the right track - found myself defending the Catholic faith to my daughter whilst visiting in Cape Town! Thanks for honoring your wife Brandon- only Catholics & Orthodox Jews give woman the respect they are due. Many blessings on your websites
Thank you for sharing your story. I love conversion stories. They are so inspirational. All praise to God.
God bless you Keith and it's great seeing your content grow. 😊❤
A great testimony and interview! Thank you for sharing❣️💕✝️
Hi, Keith! Or should I call you Uncle Keith because here in the Philippines, we used to call older guys tito/uncle even if they are not our relatives hehe... I am Karl from the Philippines specifically in Zamboanga City. I've been watching your videos about the talks you made at the church and the talk your wife made. It moved me to tears. What directed me into a grave conversion of my heart was when I watched your interviews with Dr. Travis, Brandon, Devin, and Dr. Scott. I was born and raised as a Roman Catholic. Though I cannot say I had a good relationship with God when I was little, I started to reconnect with Him when I was in high school. I attended mass almost every day before but what struck me was when how much you appreciated and valued the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist the first time you guys experienced it. I've been attending mass and taking for granted the Eucharist as if I am doing it out of routine. But when I heard you and those people I mentioned talk about it, it blew me away. Thank you for inspiring me to meet Jesus every day as I receive the bread as Him and fully receive Him as my Lord and my God, my Savior and my Redeemer. Now, every time I attend the mass, I feel that God is talking to me from the songs, first readings, second readings, gospels and all of the rites in the mass especially receiving the Bread of Life. Thank you and God bless you more🙏
Love the story of the mayor! So beautiful. God is good!
What an amazing story! Thank you for sharing. God Bless.
Keith! You are doing God’s work! Thank you and God bless you and your family! 🙏
