- In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Nathan Lancaster, a campus missionary completely sold out for Jesus Christ and His Church - with a fantastic passion for his faith and a great story to tell!
First, Nathan talks about his incredible story of deeper conversion to Christ through campus ministry. Then, Nathan and I dive into what's going on on college and university campuses around North America, what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, what it's like to do missionary work on the frontlines, where Nathan sees the Church headed, and why young people (and old people, too!) are turning more and more towards the sacred and traditional aspects of Catholic liturgy, worship, and practice.

Nathan is the man! We met at a missionary retreat for FOCUS and I can attest, his zeal for the Catholic faith is real. And it’s very refreshing for a Protestant convert because I have experienced cradle Catholics that are confused when I tell them how I “found the true Church”
Those cradle catholics are unfortunately very ignorant of their own faith. That is why they are confused.

I'm a Catholic revert in my early 30s. I volunteered at a Catholic VBS and met a 20 year old recently confirmed Catholic convert also volunteering. ❤ Pray for the return of Catholics who strayed and for the convertion of Protestants 🙏🏼
Also, be unapologetically Catholic and keep spreading the truth 🙌🏽
Jesus says I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father but by me
@@anthonyfowler2623 Amen! Jesus is the Groom, His Church is the Bride, and NO ONE comes to the Father but through Jesus. So....be part of His Bride so that Jesus will take you to His Father, through His Bride: The Church. Jesus died for her, He died for His Church/Bride. Jesus only had ONE Bride..... not thousands.
@@anthonyfowler2623 Here's another one: Jesus is the Head and the Church is His Body. Be part of the Body of Christ. Jesus only had ONE visible body, therefor He has ONE visible Church... not thousands of bodies/ churches.
The TLM is what brought me to Catholicism
Very beautiful talk. This young man excitement for Christ makes me wanna do more for The Lord, and for His Bride. ❤
I think we're in an era of a Great Awakening and more are either converting or reverting. Either way, these are exciting times!
Agree! So many are coming to Catholicism now. Protestantism is falling apart--finally.
Amen. Praise The Lord Jesus Christ.
This is wonderful news! As a parent of two college aged children who I pray for (I am a later in life revert) this gives me so much hope for our young people. God bless you! 🙏🙌
Another Mississippi Catholic? Crazy to encounter in the wild! Converted ten years ago at 19. My Catholic friends in high school really challenged me and my agnosticism. I'm lucky that my Parish has been around for about 130 years so the community was more used to Catholics. Go up to the town just north and we're considered "pagans" again. I remember attending my friends confirmation classes and just devouring the Catechism.
I attend the K-State Newman Center (St. Isidore's Catholic Student Center). It's a great place to worship, and the students are so much more faithful than I ever was at their age.
I wish i could go to a Catholic Disneyland like this😍 I have goosebumps. I love my Church so much. May Jesus always protect His amazing bride❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽✝️✝️✝️✝️🥰🥰🥰💐💐💐
Good idea Vatican should do a catholic Disneyland
@@suneesunee7576 yeahhh!!! That would be great!!
great guest. what important and excellent work they're doing. . thank you both!
Amen. Praise Our Lord🙏🏽✝️❤
I know it's a slow climb trying to reach these young students, but it sure beats standing still
Ur moving at least

Im almost through the RCIA program im a convert.
The gist i got from my instructors was that catholics dont evangelize like protestants. They see it more as proselytizing than evangelizing. And the conclusion was something more like be a christian around your family and job, and they'll ask you about being a christian, and that's the ideal way to evangelize. I'm just throwing that out there.
Wow, thank you

Nathan's story is very inspirational. He is doing amazing work, but as he mentioned, protestants are often ahead. But he may be missing out on some things . Some ministry basics are the baptism of the HS with fire and praying in tongues. Knowing God in the secret place, the armor of God, and the blood of Jesus and prophecy. Shamefully, only very few evangelical churches work in this apostolic way .
After attending TLM for more than 20 years, I attended Easter Vigil at a local NO parish this year. There were more adults received into the Church at that Mass than in the quarter of a century I went to TLM. Yes, infant baptisms are a common occurrence, but year after year of Easter Vigils at the TLM without a single catechumen present. Very sad.
As a convert myself, what attracted me to the Catholic Church at my first Mass was hearing the Mass in English and realizing that the Mass from beginning to end was either straight from the Bible or contained a religious concept (for example "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" = the Trinity). As a Protestant that Biblical focus was important, and it was present even more than in my prior Catholic denomination. I don't know how I would have reacted to the TLM, whether I would have grasped that focus on the Bible if the Mass were in Latin, or whether it would have seemed foreign to me. I've never attended a TLM service, so I can't compare it to the Novus Ordo, but I have to thank the NO for my conversion.
I’ve always wondered why there isn’t a Catholic fraternity/sorority? Seems like a natural thing.
Jesus promised He would never leave us or forsake us, but it is in the person of His Holy Spirit, not a man made object.
Acts 7:48
Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Acts 17:24
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Are they Chinese?
To bad they just as you do not understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ that you are to Obey!
To bad they just as you do not understand what the Will of God is!
To bad they just as you do not understand the narrow way that very few will find!
To bad they just as you want to end up at the lake of fire for the second death !
But that your choice because you both do not want to understand God and the Gospel!

Proverbs 1:7 KJV ¶The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Micah 6:6-8 KJV ¶Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? 7. Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8. He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Proverbs 15:14 KJV The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
I used to go to Catechism, and it great if you want to learn to be a pagan!
And did you sleep during your classes?
@@Davcramer studying God's word is not taught in class but by God himself, if you knew him you would know this but you would rather have men tell you what God says. The same problem most of Israel had and your headed in the same direction, eternity at the lake!
@@richardjackson7887So you're going straight to "if you don't agree with me you're going to hell." I read the Bible daily and I'm sure I disagree with you on many interpretations even though the Holy Spirit guides us both. Just as Protestants disagree with one another even though they share the one Holy Spirit.
@@dcramer1 Bro, are you that ignorant. If you don't agree with God you will never make it into his will. We are all bound for hell unless you understand Gods will and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Stop being the pagan God warned about!
@@richardjackson7887 I'm ignorant enough to believe that I won't find God's will by taking guidance from you. I've read the Gospels and they don't say that Richard Jackson is the narrow gate we must pass through. You lack humility when you go online telling people you've never met and never interacted with that they're going to hell.
