I'm a Religion HS teacher...and your testimony would be super inspiring for young teenagers, especially girls who need good young role models.
Yes I recently turned 14 and I wanna change my ways. I have done lots of bad things and I don’t know if it’s to late for me.
@@Leyna7777it's never too late!

@Sugarboo80: Please start with Confession. Jesus has been waiting for you.
59 year old Irish ☘️ man recently returned to the faith here and I love your videos.. GOD bless
Young lady, I am so proud of you. I am 58 and wasted so many many years away from my faith. It is only in the last few years that I have begun to claim back my faith. Through the Rosary and frequenting the sacraments being pleasing to God become important in my life again. There is indeed joy and peace in trying ones best live as Christ intended us to. Temptations can be a daily struggle sometimes. But through God's grace nothing is impossible. I have learned much from you. Thank you so much.
Funny thing is that many of the struggles can be applied to any age group.
Dude I just finished building a giant Ark Of The Covenant in minecraft

AWESOME !

I've never actually "left" the church, but after my grandmother passed away it was really hard for me. She was my church buddy, and it was hard to go without her. I wouldn't go to church if my mom didn't go. Now that I'm going to be a mother I want to be a better role model! I finally have my first adoration hour, and I've downloaded catholic prayer apps and went back to being a "handmaid of Mary" that I started in my catholic high school. I'm still working on it, but its a start!
Thats so sweet, I love it
@@TheReligiousHippie Have you ever been to Steubenville Ohio?
Who said your grandmother wasn't still with you? Keep up the good work being a role model!
1 particular sin that I have to warn those who are starting to return to Christ, are sexual sins, ESPECIALLY the sin of fornication.
Just don't. It absolutely demolishes the foundations of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Everything that the Spirit gives, fornication turns it into the total opposite.
Just stay away from it...
I agree.
…and if you fall into fornication please go to Confession.
I am what you probably call a Cradle Catholic, but I used to be super leftist during my University Years until like 2019. I also struggled with homosexual desires, obesity and a massive identity crisis, which I still struggle with until today. In 2020 (right before the world changed and the fire nation attacked) I visited a Rosary Prayer in Munich, Germany and received the Holy Communion in the old rite and it was a revelation. Since then I try to reconnect to my Catholic Faith, but it's so hard, because of how society treats us. I haven't been to Mass since the pandemic began and I feel so disconnected to God. But your Videos help me so much. So thank you so much for your Videos! You are such a light to this world!
Keep striving till the end! I will pray for you! It is a long journey and you are trying. God sees that. All the best!
This video is so important. To many teens, pre-teens and young adults are caught up in secular social morals and activities. The desire to be an influencer or opinion maker has become the modern form of idolatry as so many devote to much time to this effort. Bravo to you speaking out the truth for young Catholics!
I am 61 years old and a Cradle Catholic, married in the the Catholic Church 43 years ago and both if our daughter'sBaptized Catholic - I even taught CCD and was involved in helping with RCIA. I fell away from the Catholic Church after my Mom passed away in 2004. I am now coming back home - to the Catholic Church and feel SO GREAT about my decision! Beautiful video!!
I fell away in 2003 and then came back stronger than ever
Same here. Back to the faith at 29. Now trying to help my seven children get to their true home. God bless!
Thank you for your honesty. It helps to hear details to know not all is lost when we go away from the church and sin. It can feel so disheartening to realize…. how could I have done such a thing?! But hearing you left and you’re back and such a wonderful example is so encouraging! Most importantly I’m so thankful God forgives and in gracious mercy we can receive His amazing and beautifu gifts in the church that He created. How is that possible?! But it is and He does that for us❣️
Thank you so much girl you have changed my life for the better thank u so much for relating to me! 👑💪
Beautiful testimony. It is so great to see a teenager see the beaty and strength in her faith. You are trully blessed girl.
It’s refreshing to know women like this still exist. It’s hard to live a good Catholic life as a man or woman especially in society today. But once you form the habits it’s a lot easier. I wish I had a relationship with God like Amber does. She’s a huge inspiration.
Bro, your name is cool.
Modest dress is something that gets overlooked in our generation - especially with women but men as well. When I was 20, I had a crisis of faith, and was inexplicably drawn to a Hasidic Jewish synagogue; talk about modest dress! My time with them made me realize that being modest _and polite_ in the presence of God and in daily life is so important. This also reminds me of your "5 Pet Peeves" video (just watched it 👍) about being _respectful_ in Church! ✝
You're an inspirational and beautiful Catholic lady!!!
It's awesome to see you talk about it. I just started watching your vids and I showed one to my son. We make it a habit to watch Catholic vids once a week together. He normally sticks with Fr. Mike Schmitz's vids but this week he chose yours. Praying for all of you, please pray for my boyz. =)
Te felicito por dar testimonio de tu fe.😄 Bendiciones ♥. Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
You now shine and touching souls. God bless
You are an inspiration for all young people. Stay close to the Lord. I’ll keep you in my prayers.
Thank you for being an inspiration. I struggle. I know everyone does and must. I feel very blessed to have found your channel!
Beautiful job!! The points you make are amazing and I recommend using titles when listing points, so they stay with people- because you have a lot of wisdom and insight to offer. I am part of a Catholic-based RUclips channel, JMJ Missions. Keep up the great work, from a fellow Catholic RUclipsr!👍
Your story reminds me of mine. I left the practice of the faith in my teen years. I was into heavy metal, like Guns N Roses and Metallica. I swore a lot like the friends I hung around with, watched bad movies and tv shows that I would never watch now. I was also in a relationship with someone who didn’t practice the faith, but then ended. I came back to the faith at 20, saw problems with the Novus Ordo and fell in love with the TLM and getting dressed up on Sundays, as well as became devouted to St. Philomena and Our Lady of Sorrows and would read the Imitation of Christ. You remind me of me a few miles back down the road.
Your making great progress and I admire your courage and strength to do what you do. I try to remember to pray for you in my Rosary every day and occasional holy hour.
As time goes on, and as you do more research on the crisis in the church you will see it goes deeper than it first appears. Including the Novus Ordo. It’s not like the joyful and glorious mysteries or different flavours of ice cream. Even in the original Latin and ad orientem. The first time the Novus Ordo was said in Latin ad orientem in the Cistine Chapel the majority of the bishops disliked it and half the bishops present walked out in protest.
Michael Voris made a pretty good documentary on it about 10 years ago. It was clearly planned to undermine people’s faith.
Here is a 15 minute clip about it. ruclips.net/video/S_vwwajyASI/видео.html
Also Annibale Bugninni who made the new mass was in fact a Freemason. His name is on the Italian Register of Freemasonary. It showed his initiation date was April 23, 1963. His Masonic number was 1365-75. He made the Novus Ordo with the help of 6 Protestants ministers. They took out the same 12 prayers Martin Luther took out.
Unfortunately, Michael Voris changed his tune when he rang out of money a few years back and a new Fssp benefactor stepped in and told him to change somethings.
I really appreciate your testimony and your channel, Amber. I actually just came to know of you / your channel through viewing youtube videos prompted by 'Father Stu' / your Father Stu' review. May our Lord continue guide & bless you / your channel for His purpose, will, glory, and honor. I hope and pray that God (perhaps) will (continue to) use you / your channel to bring people back to His Holy Catholic Church. :)
♥️TLM. Your work is extremely important. You are an angel 👼 on Earth. ✝️
It’s EXTREMELY attractive when women dress modestly. I can’t explain why, but if I see a well dressed feminine woman I just wanna marry her😂
LMAO
100%
If you worded this better it wouldn’t be a little creepy. But I get what you meant.
@@bianneyperales9549 its cute not creepy.
@@bianneyperales9549 you’re creepy for commenting on a year old comment💁🏼♂️
When I came back I was worried. Family friend would say because he did warm me . They are so wonderful to me when I came back. They are willing to help me. They are From From. The. Philippines Those are real friends that help you. Not kick me when I'm down. A grief so much I was accepted back A grief so much I was accepted back.And I told The story to a lady that was sitting Front. Of. me at mass. She was in her 80s and her husband she was grateful that I came back I got a warm. Welcoming. That's the way it should be.
I am glad you are going on this journey and Really living your faith
What you said about filtering what we consume is great, ive been struggling with it.
By the way, I love The Traditional Latin Mass and have been attending it for many years now. I absolutely love it! (The Latin Mass) Thank you soo much, Amber! :) (I love the Novus Ordo Mass too but I also prefer The Latin Mass) God bless you & yours!! :)
so proud of you! Good girl! Keep walking with the King🚶♀👑💗May the Lord continue to bless you🙏🙏🙏
Metal and hard rock helped a lot during my teens. Now I only listen to them during my workouts. I’ve tried other types but non come close to giving me motivation for workouts.
Thank you God thank God Amber exist in this world you become a little hope in my life right now i found your channel right now and m so happy that i found you
you are so inspiring ... god bless you. amen.
I'm very happy for you. We need more young Catholics to lead by example, keep up the good work. Let your life glorify the lord. It is so good that you can see the lies that our culture trys to ensnare us with.
If you ever stop by the DFW area in Texas, my parish St. Mary the Virgin has a beautiful Mass celebration of Novus Ordo. I actually have a mederate discomfort of the Latin Mass because the one I've gone to, don't know if this is for all of them, the prayers are said so quietly and I can never follow along with where we are. But our parish has a lovely blend of Latin Gregorian Chant and English.
Thank you for sharing your story. You are such a warrior for Christ and His Church. Praying for you ❤️
Also where did you get your sweatshirt? I love it!!
Thank you!! I actually got it from amazon :))
@@TheReligiousHippie thanks so much! I’ll be looking for it!
Yes inspiring we need more awareness to prepare for what comes....
Love to see St. Therese in your altar. 😘😘😘
I’m a convert (and not a revert). However, I have changed as a result, particularly with sexual/romantic relationships.
I am a catholic channel. :-)
I’m a woman. I hope for the channel to have apologetics, bible study stuff. Perhaps some Catholic bible studies one day. (Using Catholic resources like early church fathers etc.) maybe in the future some cooking videos too?
And more.
I just found you and i think u are a great role model for me and other young Catholics! Could you help me in how to have a relationship with my guardian angel?
hi, i think this video will help :) ruclips.net/video/B3VyEOzZ-qM/видео.html
YOUR SUCH A WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL LADY ❤️
THANK YOU FOR YOU AND ALL YOU DO!
Hi. I am new to your channel.
It is cool that you prefer the TLM which is cool but vainilla ice cream is great lol 😎
Thanks for not hating on the vernacular Mass!
I'm a protestant Christian who is converting to catholic Christianity next year, Should I watch Grey's Anatomy? I'm having convictions because of the sex in the show.
You really have to discern that for yourself, if you feel conviction probably not
I LOVE the shirt!
Very informative.
Right. When I got serious with my low level protestant faith, the item was: Jesus in your heart : revolution in your life. When there's no revolution, there is no real dedication to Christ. Shalom to you!
The interesting thing you mentioned about being careful with what you watch and listen to. In the Examination of Conscience, it actually mentions about have you being watching entertainment that are sinful?
I love your videos!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you!
Showing God respect our world better close than I used to. Because I left the church for about proximity 6 years and I came back I used to wear flips loops In short And that's not proper to go to mass. No I'm able to take holy communion Since I turn on my confessions I'm going every Sunday to mass . I did not know I wasn't supposed to wear flip flops and still I was listening to father Mike On youtube.
I greatly reduced my sarcasm when I started to go to church again, sometimes it slips out but sarcasm is a no no, I cringe at all the sarcastic comments I made before, also, if you're a lapsed Catholic and decide to return, you must go to confession before receiving communion.
Physical modesty can be a powerful teaching on spiritual modesty as I have found...I wear dresses, jumpers and skirts with tops that have sleeves down to the elbow...I've answered many questions as to modesty simply by being asked why I wear what I do, and my answer is that I have been convicted about being a woman and not a man...maybe pants on women had a very nasty impact on people's sexuality?! There's something to be said for keeping your body shape hidden from all onlookers!
Is there anyway i can find out if there is Latin mass by me?? Cuz I went to one last week and loved it!!!
🙏🏻🕊❤️🔥We also love the Latin Mass❤️🔥🕊🙏🏻
+May Jesus bless you and make you holy+
Hey! Could you make a video about having a relationship with your gaurdian angel? Im a new sub and this would be very beneficial :)
Art is the nutrition for the soul and mind.
I think that dark shows are not bad the thing that matters are the scrpit quality and which values and mesages promotes the show.
So if the values and mesages are good and inspirational or useful does not matter if it is dark the important IS to not be edgy.
🙌🏼
A priest once said that the Catholic Church put a veil on anything that is sacred...
I really want to experience the TLM.
Can relate.
Where did you get your sweatshirt? I need one!
And I feel like I’ve been through many of the things that you just mentioned. Like I had to change my friend group to those who actually respect my beliefs and morals as a Catholic and got out of the “popular crowd” at school because they weren’t good influences. But one thing is that I still go to novus ordo masses, and you really do need to be careful which parishes you go to, and luckily I grew up on an Air Force base so I wasn’t indoctrinated by any leftist priests
Agree😊
I love the hoody! Where could I get it?
Amber, I watched your podcast today for the first time. Just wanted to say well done, keep up the good work, and stay strong for the future.
I also am a practicing Catholic I also worry about other people what they think about me because I left but I'm finding out.

Hi from AU!
How to share your faith to other non-catholics who is not so religious to their faith?
Nice shirt 👍🏻❤️

You should do a video on music genres/bands you regret listening to as a Catholic.
Because I honestly regret listening to Def Leppard, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and the rap that was constantly fed to me during high school at school dances and pep rallies. And also I refrain listening to modern music because they tend to involve very inappropriate subjects, they objectify women, and curse way too much. But I have some friends who like the listen to edm, and that seems to be pretty conservative for modern music. So I tend to listen to music from the 20th century or earlier since they tend to be more conservative. I mean I still like rock music and all but not hard rock or metal but rather conservative rock like the Beatles, Elvis Presley, (sometimes the Police), The Beach Boys, Toto, Creedence Clearwater Revival. And I’ve fallen in love with jazz/big band and music from the 40s, 50s, and 80s as well as pop music from the 70s and disco.
Oh and John Denver and Johnny Cash are pretty good too. Also I learned that people respect you more, especially adults and fellow Christians (no matter what denomination) when you feed yourself conservative music and television. So I totally agree with you that what you’re listening or watching does have an effect on your relationship with God and that it could either bring you closer to Christ or draw you away from Him. And part of my testimony was changing what I listened to and watched and I’ve gotten closer to God since then.
Love your videos. The same things have been happening to me, I've practically irradicated cursing and am more aware of what I'm saying. I've stopped listening to music that is really vulgar lyrically. Also, I've just stopped watching some shows (still can't believe I used to watch Lucifer on Netflix).
I also began to notice what I was listening to and I can’t believe it looking back. Still need alittle more work on my cursing. It’s a work in progress. Bless you
🙏🏼⛪
Did you ever went to a syriac Mass I love this language?
What do you think about Dana Ashlie? If you don't know, she's a christian too and has interesting theories
Im not familiar with her but I'll check it out :)
Doing away with the cursing is something I noticed too. Hard habit to break.
How do you have a relationship with your guardian angel? I've wanted to do just this.
You won’t regret it girl as you age.
The Holy Spirt is with you and I pray Virgin Mary will come to you.
I love your sweater! Where is it from?
Amazon :)
@@TheReligiousHippie thank you!
The thing I used to do before I returned to the Catholic Church this watching horror moves And I know that's not the right thing to do . And that's one thing I need to tell the priest I told you forget about it when I was in confession 3 different times I had a lot of stuff to remember I haven't been to profession 6 to 7 years . And the Lord is continued Reminded me things that I did that I shouldn't have done and I forgotten about. Do you have the thing I used to do Before I got married I used to drink on Friday nights From send up to sundown We forced to take care of bodies not abuse it . I started having health issues because of that A liver My doctor said I need to quit and he said do not drink for a month And it should be better. After a month I stopped drinking My it was better. I went right back again to drink Then I realized that was wrong So 2005 I quit drinking altogether started going to AA. So I quit drinking One move Before meeting my wife and we got married 2006 and she's Catholic . I left the church for a while That was a big mistake So in January of this year 2023 Went back to the church did my confessions Going to mass Taken the holy communion . And I was baptized in the Catholic Church 1978 I was 21 years old at that time I was impressed by a marriage I was invited to My class mate from high school invited me Put my class on me Always would tell me you need to come to church . And I'm grateful that I came back I've been doing the rosary Apostle creed . And I thank God that he brought me back Father Mike on RUclips on the different topics help me to get back.
What is a novus ordo?
(I know I have lots of questions.)
Where did you get your sweatshirt
Amazon!
The film "the Exorcist" and bands like Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden were great Christian propaganda. They scared the heck out of me and made Satan look like a terrible monster.
4:56 sounds so much like me. When I was preparing to and on the brink of deciding to return to the official Catholic Church in June through early July, I was quite on edge and having anxiety. I worried about how my wife, my in-laws, some other family and friends would react and would regard me; or if I'd even end up divorced, and with others rejecting me. As they are more Mainline Protestant and "progressive", would I be labelled as a bigot, homophobe, misogynist, regressive, or worse? So far, that hasnt really happened, and the divorce potential definitely not.
However, I have dealt with some trolls on youtube comment sections, by people who think they are "bible based", "bible believing", being "true Christians", and ridiculing or condemning us for supposed "worshipping Mary", "making and bowing down to idols", "adding to the word of God", "the dead can't hear your prayers; you are trying to make them like God", and all this other stupid stuff. I'm truly sorry you have had to deal with such jerkfaces. I have "reconverted" for the third and hopefully a permanent and final time. I still have a small handful of doubts or wrestlings, but i accept and believe in the overwhelming majority of what is taught and practiced.
Hey amber is it a sin to wear makeup as a teen catholic?
What's a fiat 90?
I do that too I've been going to confession more often. I go once a month. . When I came back to the church I had a lot of confessing to do took about 3 confessions.. I go to mass every Sunday and also holy days. . I also went to ash wednesday. And also went to Not eating meat because of lent . I still have a lot of work to do? I've been back seventeen I was a bad example too much children not going to mass for all of those years. Because of me my wife doesn't want to go to Mass I'm not blaming her it's my fault. 100%. Now I'm taking holy communion. . Now they. Going to Friday nights what's other man going through the Bible? Now they going to Friday nights what's other man going through the Bible?With the priest. I don't understand the Bible completely. Jesus Christ Birth. deaf resurrection and Jesus Christ ministry. I'm not that smart when it comes to the bible. I'm not that smart when it comes to the Bible. So I listen to for. Father mike Bible in the year.
Do you have music suggestions to listen and not listen to?
Catholic here , my suggestions? Avoid pop. Most degeneracy comes from pop music.
Listen to classical pieces by Mozart and Beethoven to relax , to Agni parthene and Gregorian chants when you want to pray , and to "kind" by Amanda cook when you want.
Your RUclips or SoundCloud recommendations will change lol. Other music is fine really , but avoid listening to the lyrics or watching the music videos of songs, because theres much to lead you astray
Oldies 50s, 60s, some 70/80s. I listen to jazz, earl klugh, Simon and Garfunkel etc..Goodluck
Not to sound weird but I always liked in ur videos how u dress, didn’t really think of the modesty aspect, I just thought it was nice. And us guys need to change also; in my school some of my friends talk really, well, vulgar about some girls based on how they dress, they’re not putting them down or anything they just talk very sexually about them. It’s the wrong type of attention I guess, and definitely would be v disrespectful if they heard it! I always just laughed it off thinking I was the odd one out for feeling a bit awkward listening to it but like you said in one of your other videos, even tho you think stuff is normal, it’s really not.
Hey could you do a quick video on the evidence for Mary being perfect for her entire life?
Perhaps when you critique a church regarding reverence or lack of reverence without mentioning whether the Church has Latin mass or Novus Ordo.
I appreciate the concern but I'll address it accordingly and as to what it was.
Good for you! Us Baptists call it sanctification
I get an eerie feeling in the Modernist church, can't go there any more.
I can see that the holy spirit has changed you .this is gods work .i had a dream of jesus n he told me something would happen to me when i was 32 well the holy spirit came n convicted me and ive changed in all the dame ways as you.now if i could only find a wife like you whos on fire and who likes to go to church.god bless you
❤✝️🙏👍
Its funny i prefer the new mass to the old style one but then again thats because im quite modern and liberal leaning in my tastes and the latin mass had almost disappeared from use before i was even born. Also i am catholic but i am not DEEPLY religious like some people on here will be. I find deeply religious people sometimes a bit off putting. I used to be really into catholicism in my 20s but have eased off a bit as ive got older. Sorry just my thoughts.
But an interesting video nonetheless and clearly your faith means a lot to you. 😊
The preacher was reading the Bible, and then he said, "I'd like to read from the Book of Talysn." Then, the organist started playing Hush by Deep Purple.
I big fan of jay Sean and westlife and code red but God is good for me to you can still be a fan of music but God come first
