    Thank you for expressing so eloquently what I have concluded after a lifetime of Protestantism. I recently converted to Catholicism and believe with my whole heart the it is the one true Church as Christ planned and appointed Peter to lead.
  • @barbhorses
    I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness and the Lord led me through a great deal of difficulty and I arrived, in my quest for truth only by God, to the one Church I was taught to hate. I am a grateful Catholic today by God alone.
  • I am a cradle Catholic..then I thought I was 'smarter' than the Church and so threw myself into the very,very, dangerous New Age movement Thank God, Mother Mary saved me via MEDJUGORJE..and here I am, living the faith of my forefathers..Catholic in the CATHOLIC country of CROATIA ..in gratitude🙏Amen!

    Very informative and explained in great detail. I’m an ex Muslim, my journey into the Catholic faith has been very interesting and exciting. After I left the Islamic fold, I found out I was baptized as an infant into the Catholic Church ⛪️ and that brought tears of Joy to my eyes because it was there that I knew without any hesitation that God was in control of my Spiritual path. Thank you very much for clarifying a few questions I had.

    What a beautiful testimony! I was a cradle Catholic until three years ago. I was so lost. I started my journey back to the church attending RCIA meetings...just to listen because I have all my Sacraments. It was the best decision I made. I learned how beautiful pur Catholic religion is. It has been a hard journey back because the world brainwashed me in so many areas, but i am so happy to be back home. God bless you all! Please pray for me🙏🏼

    I left my senior year of high school. The heady days of smarmy guitar masses, 1971. Returned 48 years later after detouring into evangelicalism. I feel privileged and grateful that Jesus and Our Lady led me home.
  • @alexcreel7949
    I recently reverted back to the Catholic Church.. actually lost a girlfriend because of it. When I would go to the Non Denomination church, like you I felt the presence of the holy spirit but was lacking something. 30min Christian rock concert, then asking God to give me stuff. Always felt odd. I had my first men's group this morning TMIY and have been going to Holy Mass. I feel at peace. This has been a yr long journey for me..
  • Cradle Catholic here. Was away 30 years. Came back home. My testimony is seriously so much like your own. I might have a few side trips that would be different, but I know the truth, and it set me free. God reached into my life in a supernatural way and saved me from spiritual captivity. It cost me everything in my life when I chose to obey the call of Jesus to return to the Catholic Church.. Though very agonizing, for my heart , it has brought fruitfulness to others.His peace does surpass all my understanding .It is encouraging to hear that God has others like myself who chose to do the work of endless hours of reading, seeking and praying, then finding the answer is ...Jesus has a Church, and the gates of hades will not be able to keep it untriumphant! Every knee shall bow one day! Thank God for his mercy! ❤🙏I am so happy for you! 😊
  • @abigailrice1680
    Bless you for your testimony! I’m so happy to have been able to come across this video! My husband is Protestant and has been on a journey with me (cradle Catholic, now on total fire for the faith!!) the past 4 years! I’ll definitely ask him to watch this! Let us pray for all those who are being led to the Catholic Church, the true fullness of the faith!

    Church shopping. Been there. The "reformation " made it possible for me to shop for a church that fit MY wants. I've been hit on the head with hands that pushed me to fall and faint( holy spirit) 🙄, had people lay their hands over me at another fun , music filled event, and ate cookies and kool-aide at a Baptist church. There were more but i realize something today. After all i went through, .God never intended for us to use faith as a sodapop machine, insert money snd pick a flavor. After running around like a fiool for so long God brought me back to HIS CHURCH. The Catholic Church. My life is His , i will forever do His Will. Today i study and read 📚 everything there is to know about my faith. Thanks be to God. 🙏
  • @jojodavid7085
    I dont know! But it was just a few weeks ago that i explained to my eldest daughter (who was about to skip our daily 6pm Rosary for an online bible study of born again christian) that she is just joining a "man-made religion". I asked her who is the founder of the sect, and she immediately gave me a name. I asked her if she know who's the founder of Catholic, she doesn't know and threw the question back to me. I was about to answer madly with full parental authority, but my mouth calmly and softly said- " i can't, for our religion the Catholic faith is never founded by a mortal man but goes back to the lineage of Jesus' disciples." From then on she never ask to excuses herself from praying the Holy Rosary.
  • @gleeberger8966
    Someone pointed out to me about a week ago, that Protestant churches have altar calls, but there's NO altar! I thought, WOW, how did I miss that! 🤔
  • @HEILtotheconDON
    Many protestants and evangelicals ask if catholics have a personal relationship with God…I would say “More personal than you could imagine, I recieve his body and blood regularly”…No one can claim a closer relationship with God than I have unless of course you recieve His body and blood more frequently than I do‼️ MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE.. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
  • My conversion was a similar experience. A little different but ended the same way lol. I was received into the Church a few years ago now. I realized that true worship requires a sacrifice and that while protestant, I wasn’t actually worshipping the Lord by listening to a band and a man’s sermon and praying. True worship is to offer a sacrifice and we do that every Holy Mass by offering the Body & Blood of Jesus Christ. What drew me into the Church was my desire to have Christ dwell in me physically and spiritually-to be able to receive the Eucharist. I had many nights experiencing spiritual warfare during the 8 months of RCIA. The devil did not want me to convert. I’m so grateful I persevered. I am so thankful for the gift of confession. It truly is a sacrament in which I feel renewed body and soul. I know Protestants will say we can ask the Lord to forgive us personally, however He said to confess our sins to one another. And hearing myself say my sins to the priest really is humbling and really puts into perspective my sins. It also helps me to not want to commit the same ones over and over again. I realize my patterns of sin and the process is a constant conversion and helps my path to be changed to be more Christ like. I could go on and on but I’m just to thankful to be part of the Church that Jesus started and the Church in which Jesus is present everyday physically and to be united with Him is such a blessing. God bless and protect those on their conversion journey. Lord guide them to the truth, in Jesus name, Amen. 🙏
  • @davidcole333
    I was a convert from protestant denominations. I went to mass after 30 years of no church. I was a spiritual, not religious guy. But once i went to mass, i loved it and never quit going.
  • I attended Catholic school from first grade through junior year of college. After that, I drifted away for decades. It has only been about four months now that, at age 57, I am beginning to return and return full force. Your video and other conversion and reversion stories like this have truly helped!
  • @benaim7925
    I am a revert too! I just keep on thinking, I just want to continue what I promised Jesus during Confirmation.
  • @bigdogboos1
    there's nothing like being in the Catholic church, compared to being a protestant for decades. It's like you're part of a living body for the first time ... because we are. Only took me 22yrs as a protestant before i got so sick of all the confusion, division, lack of true authority, non historicity, and massive issues with "sola scriptura" ... that i finally decided to research church history and the Catholic claim of being the "true church". It became overwhelmingly obvious to me, i had to convert. Best thing i've ever done, and never leaving
  • Found you channel and love it! I'm a catholic revert had everything and almost lost everything. My wife converted being staunch methodist/Wesleyan. I came back 4 years ago after seeing myself in hell....came back and now I'm living my life for christ.
  • @AlNaps84
    Thank you Edie! I am a cradle Catholic who turned away from God, then found Him but started going to a non orthodox Methodist church. I was at home but constantly struggled with the division in the Christian community. Your testimony is my testimony to a point! I had trouble reading the bible and always went online to guys like Mike Winger, John McCarther, Paul Washer, R C Sproul, Voddie, CS Lewis etc and they all had different teachings and interpretations but were consistent in 1 belief.....their dislike of the Catholic church. I stayed away from anything to do with the Catholic church because the church was "satanic" as is the view out there. The confusion got so overwhelming that I begged God to reveal the truth to me. I had decided to quit youtube and just read my bible when something in me told me to research the Catholic church. It really took a leap of faith to go against my reformed beliefs but it was this same feeling that told me to research about yogic meditations, when my practice was deepening, and why I then became Christian after realising it was satanic. I started to research about the Catholic church through Catholic apologists and reformed Christians who converted. IT IS MIND BLOWING: 1. How could we be so blind to see all these churches were man made. Started by egoists who thought they could do better than Jesus 2. The number of people who have been deceived is outstanding. These preachers are going to have a lot to account for. We need to pray for them that their eyes may be open and that they repent before it is too late. 3. Matthew 7:21-23 breaks my heart! 4. We have a big task of praying for all those souls in purgatory. I cannot help but feeling this overwhelming responsibility to pray for as many souls as we possibly can. We took the 1st step toward Christ now the work begins. It hit me after mass today when the Priest said go in Faith to love and serve the LORD. This was the 1st time I ever understood what those words meant. We need to do God's work in saving souls both here and in purgatory. We cannot be silent or lukewarm in our faith. I thank God for the journey He put me through because I could have been one of those lost souls. My experiences have allowed me to understand the urgency of the mission. God bless you Edie for your much needed ministry. Your videoes strengthened my resolve when I got back to church on 13 June 2021, had my first confession after a couple of decades and received communion. God is AMAZING! I have not felt this way before. My faith has strengthened to 100% for the 1st time in my life. I am experiencing God in such profound ways. I won't even go into how my love for and understanding of Mary has developed...this post was meant to be a couple of sentences 😂.
