I’ll be praying for you brother. I’m a Seminarian for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, and let’s just say these two Priest showed me how to have the courage to take the step of giving my life to God, as a priest or a father of a family. I’ll be praying for you and your discernment 🙏

Welcome home

[@janenewman265]

I love how they talked about the stickiness of the internet! I had left the Catholic church and joined an evangelical church with no intention of coming back. I found the Bible Project and went through their bible in a year and learned so much from their podcasts and ministry. They are truly godly men! Well, somehow, I came across Bishop Baron and loved his ability to communicate the richness of the intellectual history of the church and the existence of God, etc. And then Fr Mike and his exuberant love for the Lord spoke to me. All the while the Holy Spirit was inviting me back into full communion and I realized that I needed the grace of Body of Christ to live my mission here! So I returned! PRAISE God! And thank you for these two men.

Praise God. I too left the Catholic Church for 25 years, explored priesthood in the Anglican Church and thought that was where I was meant to stay.God had other ideas…and after a series of events over a two year period I knew God was calling me back. I KNOW I am in the right place. The Eucharist has become alive…and finding these wonderful priests has helped me SO much. God is so good and so patient. I have come home.😊

The two principal actors who stregnthen my Faith in Catholicism. You two made me believe in the real presence of Jesus in the eucharist. Father Mike was like John 6, and Bishop Baron solidifies the belief with the Transformative nature of the world. I used to see it as a symbol. when I realized it was actually Jesus, I ran to the eucharist as though the holy our was my oxygen supply. God bless you two. Much love from Cameroon

When I first discovered Bishop Barron on KZbin, I binge watched until 2:00 a.m. for weeks. That led to watching Fr Mike, then Matt Fradd, and the list goes on and on.

i'm sure you must have found Fr Mark Goring. I'd like to recommend you to Fr Chris Alar to his series and Fr Donald Calloway. Fr Donald Calloway videos about Mother Mary and St. Joseph are astounding.

[@olivebranch10]

The look of awe and appreciation on Fr. Schmitz's face when Bishop Barron speaks... yes. My expression would be the same. Some day I hope I am able to thank Bishop Barron in person for leading my family and me into the Catholic Church. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for good shepherds and gifted leaders in Your Church!

My prayers go out for Christian healing and unity, that we may all be one though we are many🙏

I feel the same ... It's time for all disciples of Christ to come together. As a Catholic I listen to orthodox and Protestant commentators as well. In fact I attended Latin mass the other night at St Patrick's in Melbourne and there were three Egyptian coptic women in attendance. And me myself I will attend the Ethiopian church down the road from me. Let's all share our praise of Jesus.

Bishop, I totally had the sowing seeds experience with your work. I watched an episode of "Catholicism" at CCD when I was in high school. Years later, when I was having a crisis of faith in college, God reminded me of that video and I read your book based on the series. It really helped me form my faith. Now, I am a 4th, 5th, and 6th grade religion teacher, and God reminds me daily that I am sewing seeds. I don't know what seeds God is sewing, but I trust Him to do His work in their lives.

You and Fr. Michael have become two of my most favorite teachers in the Faith. Some years ago, I had a Young adults group that gathered one Friday a month - watched Catholicism and had a tremendous discussion - these were young people who wanted something to assist them to become good Catholics in the midst of the world. Fr. Michael is a hero in Divine Mercy Parish in Dartmouth Nova Scotia. I'm delighted to say that you both are helping in my ministry as Pastor. I too experience that renewal in my own priesthood with both of you. Thank you for your ministry!!! Very much appreciated Brothers !!!

Hello everyone, my name is David and I found Fr. Mike during the pandemic at a very hard time. I used to watch his Mass every Sunday with my wife and son. But it was something that helped me find myself how I needed God the most in my life. His preaching and messages really encouraged me.

I’m a real Catholic enjoying greatly Bishop Barron since I found him in KZbin lately. I listen to the word of God daily. I’m just becoming familiar with the Bible, greatest book, ever. My comment and question is how come CATHOLICS don’t learn about the Bible by reading it since we are young. I was born Catholic, Apostolic and Romanic and attended Catholic school since kindergarten until hight school and educated by nuns all along. I believe if Catholics were taught about it wouldn’t be so many lives lost like I almost lost my life because I didn’t have Jesus in my life. Just now I understand the worth of the Bible as the word of God talking to me. I’m undoubtedly grateful to God for my life and what I became today. Christ, I trust in you 🙏

The anonymity of the space makes for the vitriol…! I’m coming across the video (gratefully, again) several years after the fact. And I must say it is totally relevant… even now. In fact, I notice that I responded TWICE… way back …two years ago..! I went through the ‘Bible in a Year’ with Fr. Mike, and was so engaged. Things in your life change… you see things in a different light… from a different perspective..! Therefore becomes very relevant… in the moment..! I was the Parish Secretary (for 23 years, until a stroke sidelined me in August, 2024) at St. Francis Xavier, on Cape Cod… I must have missed Fr. Mike’s reference to SFX first time around. I remember, I booked a Mass for Goody, when she passed away. I am now coming to this video from a completely different perspective, after my stroke. I was always praying for someone else’s intention… now the Lord is hearing from me also, on my own behalf..! Sorry, for such a long diatribe. The Lord has given me time for reflection.. !! 😉🤭😂 Since this Epistle doesn’t contain ‘vitriol’ I don’t expect to hear from anyone..! LOL it’s mostly to give kudos to all of you. Can’t wait to hear you again. ❤️🙏🏻❤️ God Bless. I’m praying for you, please pray for me.🙏🏻

AND THEN THIS VIDEO popped in my feed. After I listened to Padre Schmitz' video about Jonah and the whale.

Yes in them I really see the power of saying "YES" to God.

I've found Jordan Peterson , Mark Goring, bishop Barron even father Corapi! A very wonderful spe a ker / preacher. And of course fr Mike Schmidt. He's a little brother favorite uncle! .I'm thankful for all of you!

I am so blessed to have these two holy priests in my life.

This is epic! I'm praying for both of you Bishop Barron and Father Mike!

Absolutely love this conversation!!! I listen to both of their podcasts every week. Their messages help keep maintain my faith alive, and help me fall in love with the Catholic Church more and more. I would love to continue to see more conversations between them.
