    Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. I'm a 63 year old woman who was baptized, confirmed Catholic as well as attended Catholic school for 9 years. I just don't think I really understood the teachings of the church at that time. I received the foundation of faith (Trinity, Christ's atoning death). At the age of 20, I clearly heard the gospel at a very large evengelical church in Southern CA. and made a faith commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ. I also went through a period of being anti Catholic, however, believe it or not, it was a Lutheran co-worker who helped me see things a little clearer. It wasn't until covid hit, that I began to listen to a lot of testimonials of protestants who converted to Catholicism. I think I've learned more about Catholicism in these past couple of years than in all my early years. I still have a lot of questions, but I'm so drawn to the Eucharist after reading many of the mystics writings and learning about the Eucharistic miracles. I have begun to attend adoration at a local Catholic Church once a month. I only wish I had a female Catholic friend who converted to Catholicism, that I could talk to about my questions and reservations. I love the church I have been a member of for the past 30 plus years. They are not anti-catholic, but they don't believe in the real Presence. The Lord knows my heart and He will lead. God bless this channel.🕊️

    Dee Dee, I really appreciate you taking time to write all of this down. It is a grace to be aware of your various pivots within Christianity. My family will be praying for you. May God bless you in this stage of your journey. Thanks again, my sister in Christ. p.s. As a Catholic revert, who spent many years in Protestant churches, I invite you to listen to my story: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aGyEyNlshai0XdI.html

    @@CatholicReCon Thank you so much for your reply Eddie. You brought a smile to my face when you addressed me as your sister in Christ. There is so much division within Christianity (Catholic, Orthodox and Protestants). I appreciate your prayers. God bless you, your family and this channel.

    Thank you Jeremy. I live in the suburbs of the Philadelphia, and have had the privilege of having Archbishop Chaput head our diocese. Actually he confirmed my husband of 31 years, who was born Catholic, though never confirmed. You would have thought my husband was the only confirmation that day.

    Thank you so much Eddie, for presenting another incredible witness of the transforming love of God. Jeremy, when I was listening to your story, it reminded me so much about the life of my favorite Christian singer, Rich Mullins, and I was pleased to find out that you knew about him and that he was a positive influence in your life. I can verify that Rich made definite plans to enter the Catholic Church the weekend after he died. He driving to Wichita to make his General Confession to (now) Archbishop Paul Coakley the Friday evening that he died. He was scheduled to enter the Catholic Church that Sunday. He made his fiat to God when he told his priest friend, Fr. Matt McGinnis, "This may sound strange, but I need to receive the Body and Blood of Christ." I have talked to both Fr. McGinnis and Archbishop Coakley about Rich. We believe that God received him into the Catholic Church via "Confirmation of Desire." God bless you both!

    Agreed. The church and/ or a relationship with Jesus. The Protestants especially the Evangelicals have "Not forgotten their first love Jesus" That was my take away from 20 years as a Protestant. And that's why I left the Protestant Evangelical church. Low ceiling. Jesus doesn't live in a vacuum. I love the Catholic Church!! The Universal church. 2022 years

    Jeremy should have been more circumspect before blurting out the Father Scott part. He just made me burst into tears. That was definitely the most powerful part of this video for me. Wow! By the way, I wouldn't mind watching Fr. Scott on your next video at all!

    Eddie, just as I said, I've just watched this video again. Sorry if this sounds too strong. But you can't not have the Archbishop on your show. These three guys are the books, you'll miss the author. That's the Archbishop who humbled himself and just let Jesus use him to transform these three men.
