I'm Gabby's Dad you mentioned in this video. I remember you and Steven having debates and meeting at the coffee shop. I also remember Gabby telling me you begged her not to become Catholic when she did. I just found out yesterday that you were not just Catholic but a seminarian....I was blown away. May God bless you on your journey, Joel. You'll be in my prayers.

I was a Baptist for 66 years. My father was a southern Baptist minister. He went to seminary school in New Orleans. I knew I was missing something.. My grandmother was Catholic. My mother was Catholic. The Lord spoke to me, I know in my heart of heart!! the Catholic Church is a true church of Christ is all about the Eucharist.I celebrate my third year being Catholic. Thank you for this video

Hey Joel, your story is so beautiful and powerful. As a convert myself from a Baptist background with a brother who is a Baptist preacher and parents who are Sunday school teachers this resonates with me personally. I can recall the pain of my family when they learned of my conversion. This was 2016. But oh the joy of coming into the Catholic Church. I love my faith journey and so humbled that God graced me to see truth. My prayers like you, are to see family and friends make the journey as well. I want to share with them the beauty and fullness of our faith. God bless you Joel. And thank you for sharing your journey.

If anyone happens to read this, please continue. I am thirteen years old and I love in a very Baptist part of Tennessee. I recently did a study on Catholicism in school and I fell in love with the beliefs that Catholics have. My dad and many other generations of my family are preachers or elders in th church. Since I did that study in school, I have been researching and talking to my Catholic friends about Catholicism. I want to become a Catholic very badlry, I feel that God is calling me to become one. The only problem is that my family would not accept me as a Catholic if I told them. I want to tell them, and I want them to help me get more involved in the Catholic church, but I know that they would never. I know that they would look down on me and say that I'm polytheistic. I don't know what to do. If anyone has any advice, please comment. Also, I want to learn more about Catholicism, so if you are a Catholic, could you please help me learn everything that I need to know? God bless you!

Find out where the nearest Catholic Church is and see if you can go on a Sunday morning and speak to the priest after Mass. Tell him what you would like to do. Pray to Jesus and Mary, Mother of God to help you to get a blessed rosary. Look up how to pray it and print out the instructions if you can. You can also find out where the nearest catechism classes are for those who want to become Catholic are held. Ask Jesus and Mary to send you good people to help you become Catholic and ask them if that is their will for you. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Where humans shut the door on you, somewhere God opens a window. Wishing you the best of Irish Catholic luck. Basically, the rosary can overcome ANY OBSTACLE, even opposition that you may face in your faith journey or any crisis. It may take some time, but the experience and the suffering along the way will build up your confidence and your character. If you’re able to go to Mass, pray during the consecration of the Host and the Blood to God to help you achieve your dream. I am also a former Protestant who converted as an adult. I have never regretted becoming a Catholic. It felt like coming home.

Converts make excellent Catholics. I think of Saint Paul as the proto convert. The zeal is there, that doesn't change. God just redirects it for Truth.

I realized yesterday at Mass, I have been upset, even mad at certain people in the pews, certain priest, Bishops, even certain Popes and yes, even God, but I have never been mad at mama. I guess I'm a mama's boy. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God

@@tony1685 Friend? We are not friends. We are brothers. And sorry brother but no one in Christ dies as it is written in the gospels. She WAS the mother of His humanity as she was also "the woman" who God told Satan would put enmity between them. That enmity was Christ. And to say God did not make her sinless is limiting His power. "Blessed are you among women" tell me what the greeting Gabriel gave her meant? Moresno. Tell me where that greeting is found in history? Backwards? No brother. I understand. As for all Catholics I know too. Everything you say is true about God. However! Without her "Fiat" we would not be here and known about Christ.

I don’t know what high church means, but I was born and raised anti Catholic Protestant and it was because of Jesus speaking to my soul the night I was going to reject him as a false god, that converted me to his holy Catholic Church.
