Fr. Mike Schmitz | The Matt Fradd Show Ep. 12

3 hours and 8 minutes ... that's how long this interview is. You ready? Thanks for being here! Please help us spread the word by sharing on social media!

This conversation is a long as Avengers: End Game and I'm okay with that.

What a great conversation. Father Mike is precisely the kind of priest the Catholic Church needs more of.

Father Mike revealed himself as a genuinely good dude. His just criticism of father Martin was the nicest criticism I've ever seen.

I appreciate priests who wear their priest collar.

8:32 Nothing is neutral to the soul. Wow. So good!!!

Thank you so much Matt! You brought me to tears because I believed the lie that I have nothing to offer on my YouTube Channel. I could relate so much!!! Thank you I was feeling so alone in the same lie asking God why have you asked me to do this ministry. What you said spoke to my heart and I need to remember that prayer you prayed!. Thank you and God bless you

we need more priests like Fr Mike Schmitz and Fr Goring. These men bring me hope for the future of the church and it's teachings

Thank you Fr. Mike, for showing us how beautiful it is to follow God into the vocation He made for you and thank you, Matt, for such a respectful, beneficial, and Catholic interview. God is Great!

"Invite the Lord into your shame", is the pearl of wisdom I take with myself from this all-too-short 3-hours chat with Father Mike to my prayers. Thank you.

Three epic Matt Fradd shows in a row! Kreeft, Gordon, and Fr. Schmitz!

I love Fr. Mike so much! We need to pray for him because he is such a gift to the Church.

Father Schmitz is so encouraging I love being Catholic.

Father Schmitz's brain must have like 11-gears. He is like a young race-car driver figuring out the most efficient shifting. You can see in his many pauses, the gears still spinning, then the thought comes, and he shifts from first to seventh gear. He's a Ferrari. Every gear has an impressive sound when it digs in. Those students in Minnesota are so lucky to have him as "Dad". Great show. I stayed up too late trying to watch to the end.

What a great interview. Father Mike is full of compassion and humbleness concerning the shame that people carry around. 🙏

Great conversation! I’m getting tired of the militance of some Catholic YouTubers. I’ve unsubscribed from a couple. While I understand the anger within our church, more voices like Fr Schmitz’s are refreshing.

I know many people want a shorter or edited interview, however I love the length, your guests have so much to share, I honestly don't know what you could cut since there is information that could help everyone. If somebody wants a specific topic or shorter videos they can check ascension present, Fr Mike Schmitz podcasts or other short catholic video. My wife and I love your channel and the interviews because they are different and we get to learn so much. I honestly wouldn't like to shorten the interviews because this is what makes your interviews different and in my opinion better. Your interviews are authentic, different and truthful. In Christ

My first thought was "let him speak" but then I realized how intelligent and well versed you are. So I really enjoyed this video because instead of a prequestioned interview, this was a genuine conversation between two really wise men.

Matt, I mean this with love & respect, but there were moments in which I feel like you cut off Fr. Mike when he was mid-thought/sentence. I understand you were probably very excited to have him on (I would be too). But I think that if you work on letting the guests finish their thoughts, it would really elevate the quality of your show. Not to say that it isn’t good quality, but I see so much potential in you still. I probably noticed this because this is something *I* struggle with. Nonetheless, I really enjoy your show. In fact, you’ve been a big resource for me in my recent conversion. I came back to the Catholic faith in October of 2019, and I will be getting confirmed at the end of March in 2020. Keep up the great work! Update (March 2020): my confirmation has been pushed back because of the pandemic. However, I‘ve chosen St. Thomas Aquinas as my confirmation saint! 😎

This is the best kind of podcast: two friends whose conversation ranges from the shallowest to the deepest of things and ideas
