Here’s a real shitty comment: your podcast with Gabi Castillo forever changed my life for the better. I was addicted to porn since I was 10-11 years old. I prayed the rosary and prayed for help, and I swear to God my addiction disappeared after trying for 20+ years. Keep up the soul-saving work. BTW get your homie Dan Lawson on your show.
I like your channel. I’m currently a Protestant but really really really on the verge of coming back to the Catholic Church, and I do feel that the Lord is using you as one of the vessels to do this. Keep up the great work!
@ronpopeh3924 Remember, you can walk into a big mass and nobody notices, no pressure. Going into a strange protestant service, especially a small one? Gets a lot of attention. Very rarely bad, just more pressure.
@ yes. I was raised and confirmed in the Catholic Church. In my youth, there were topics I was convinced I was correct and the church was incorrect about. So as to not start a doctrine disagreement, I’d describe my current position as this: there is One God, and the only way to Him is through Jesus Christ. Essentially, I believe in the Nicene Creed. The other things I’m still working through are not that. I guess I would just like the reassurance that I could come home, not have these other things quite figured out (but that includes maybe not agreeing with the church 100% about them) but still be safe at home and not feel like a heretic or hypocrite.
It's amazing how many kids that grew up on social media seem to think they're fit to psychoanalyse everyone before even getting their own life in order.
@Matt Fradd, I have not even watched this video yet, but please, do not quit UA-cam for this reason. You are loved, most especially and eternally by God, and your insights, interviews, and conversations are a gift to the universal Body of Christ, and probably to some of God’s children who do not know Him yet. Please don’t quit, but above all things, remember that you are loved, and you will forever be loved, by Christ, no matter what happens in your life, and also no matter what decision you make regarding this. Hoping you have a meaningful day wherein you find hope. God bless.
Glad to see you’re having fun with trolls. My favorite thing to say is, “Do you feel better now you said that?” One guy said, “Yes,” and I laughed. 😂😂😂 Edit: This video has me cracking up. Thank you. I’m saving this to my “inspiration” playlist. 😂😂😂
I wanted to say something mean/funny at your expense but as I sat here thinking, I realized, you're really hard to make fun of - so I'll just say, don't quit. To whom else shall we go? You are become Catholic UA-cam.
That first comment wasn’t hateful - I think people who listen just have their opinion. I would never listen to a person I found repulsive- you’re 5-stars in my book!
I do somewhat agree with some of the criticisms. What originally drew me to the show was how you talked about hard things--things that are often counter-cultural--but did so in a way that was compassionate and charitable. I've found in the past year or so that more and more of the content here has become "snarky" and I find myself listening less and less. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the direction the show is moving in, but just wanted to share that I feel the tone of the show has shifted and it's been harder for me to enjoy the content.
I even felt this when comparing his most recent visits with Peter Kreeft to the previous ones - Peter hasn't changed one iota, but the difference is clear in Matt
I mean, I also think so, but keep in mind UA-cam is now more like a "long-form" Instagram. It is meant to capture audience, more than anything else. And that's how Catholic media is adapting, I guess. Maybe quality content like the one you mention can be found by other means now.
Hey, Matt. Grateful for your mission. You were instrumental in me joining the Church back in 2018. I was a Patreon supporter for a couple years as well. You're definitely appreciated. I've struggled a bit through covid and beyond, and I hadn't listened to your stuff for awhile. Not because of anything you did, I just wasn't tuning in. As I'm coming back around, I have to respectfully point out that, yes, there have been some shocking changes. I don't care about the political stuff at all, but I do care about the tone and default disposition of the show. I believe there is a growing problem in the world, in all corners, where things like cleverness, scorn, irreverance, wit, and other similar things gel into this problem that degrades and distracts. This is something I am trying to research and consider more to better flesh it out, so please forgive my terrible explanation. But I see that here with what you're doing now. Not always, of course. But this need to be wildly witty and/or cut to the bone with responses or clips cut into the videos would not have happend before. I feel there is a wild lack of charity and prudence with a lot of comments and attitudes. Mocking and laughing at people you think are ridiculous is not what Christ would have us do. Obviously, don't agree with madness or condone it. But are mocking and scornfulness signs of Holy Spirit? I don't write to condemn, I write as a brother who is concerned. There is such a stark contrast between the show's 2024 demeanor and what it was in the past. God bless you, your family, and your crew. Sorry for the novel. Cheers.
People have very different opinions about humour, in terms of what is acceptable and charitable. By internet standards Matt is VERY tame. Some Christian influencers are tamer still but they can be fake and boring. I don’t see any striking changes in his behaviour before or after Covid. He’s just Matt: good humoured, sincere, dealing with controversial topics honestly and without affectation
@champagne.future5248 respectfully, there is unquestionably a different tone to the show and disposition of crew now versus the past. And I do agree that humor is widely subjective, and Matt is certainly tame compared to the internet at-large. But that is separate point that isn't related to what I am talking about. But "the internet" isn't a good baseline for what's acceptable or charitable.
I disagree. Matt is about the only trad-ish Catholic who is NOT sanctimonious and purposefully divisive. I had to stop most other trad Catholic content, but will still listen to Pints. And it gives me a little window into what someone like Ralph Martin might think, like how God is good but also decided to create a world where he knew beforehand that almost everyone would end up in excruciating torment... forever. That no longer makes sense on a basic level to me, but it's a good reminder that it does to a good chunk of Catholics. Matt asks them the questions that i'm thinking usually.
This channel is the catholic education that 14 years of catholic school education with the multi-child discount couldn’t buy. Thanks for all you and Cameron do, Matt.
So anyone who says anything negative about you is automatically a troll and worthy of contempt? Maybe some of us actually do want you to be better. How about address some of the criticisms instead of attempting to laugh it off
I have learned so much from your channel. You have excellent guests, and your interviews with them are so informative. Keep up the great work! PS, I am a baby boomer non traditionalist Catholic who has learned from your different points of view. I appreciate you, and feel that God has put you in the right place.
Matt, you are so smart! I have always thought that and didn't realize more people had not told you that before!? SO grateful for you and your work. My husband and I have talked about your insights on all things, but particularly Catholic homeschooling for years and are indebted to you!
So thankful for the work you do Matt! The first seed in my heart that drew me to the Church was your debate with Cameron from Capturing Christianity about John Ch. 6! Thank you so much!
Such a level of success and fame cannot be easy on anyone’s spiritual life. And since a regular person’s spiritual life is already very hard, I can only imagine that Matt has to struggle with pride on a daily basis.
Matt, thank you for all the work you do here. I've enjoyed and profited from many of your videos. That being said, please do not close yourself off from humility and compassion. A lot of people, including me, look up to you as an engaging public figure that stands for our faith. We have noticed a change, and it's getting harder to stay positive about the way things are going.
Love your show and watch regularly Matt. Keep up the wonderful work and great conversations. Its a wonderful gift to us all. Cheers amigo and God bless you.
Am I the only one who can’t finish this video because I hate seeing hate comments about PWA and Matt?! lol. Then only thing I agree that puts me off is the cigar on screen, but its more of a preference. I literally just have to listen to the interviews. Thanks for all you do Matt & PWA team!
Ha ha, great stuff, Matt! Pints of humility on tap! At least you have proof of success. Alas, I don't have a comment section to get excoriated. I just get read the Catholic Riot Act sometimes.
The commenter at 2:20 has a valid point, but it all depends on what you want from a podcast. For example, the late Al Kresta was a masterful interviewer, and he was able to ask targeted, pithy questions to bring forth the most important insights from his guest, even within the time constraints of live radio. So if I listened to a segment of Al Kresta's show, I could learn an amazing amount from Al's conversation with his guest, even in just one 15-minute segment. Matt uses a more free-wheeling, relaxed, unhurried approach to interviewing. This means that the same valuable insights that I could have gotten from a 15-minute interview with Al Kresta may take two hours to get from an interview with Matt. But the interview with Matt will also have much more, including conversation on topics that you wouldn't expect that guest to discuss. It's just a different atmosphere or attitude. One is targeted and to the point, while the other is playful and relaxed. As I see it, both approaches have advantages and disadvantages, and different listeners will prefer one approach or the other. Or some listeners, like me, will enjoy both.
Hahhahahahah... Good ones. What I always liked about Catholics, especially the early ones, was their sense of humour and distance from themselves. Glad you're following in their footsteps.
Glad to see Josiah and Matt not taking these comments too seriously. There’s always going to be bad with the good, especially on the internet. Keep doing your amazing work!
Looking on the bright side, at least you know the super long critical comments are not bots. If I don’t like a podcast series, I just tune out, I cannot understand these rage critiques. 😂
Wooo! Hold the bus. Yes, maybe give some thought to some of the comments, pray about them, then let them go in one ear and out the other. You are helping so many people in their relationship with the Lord. You are letting your light shine for Jesus. Of course there’s going to be people who disagree, but brother don’t you quit. You do the best you can, give it to the Lord, and He’ll make good out of it. Matt this may sound crazy, but years ago, when I first planted my flower bed we laid the fertilizer to it. That cow poop stunk our house up and probably my neighbor’s yard for a couple of days. The wind seemed like it was taking that scent everywhere. Then the scent went away, and I had some of the prettiest roses in the neighborhood. My point is this, sure you can bury cow poop, or you can use it to help produce beautiful flowers. God uses our messes and what we see as extreme little to make great things come out of it. Just because you can’t see the results doesn’t mean they’re not there. Sometimes you may say things wrong, or discuss a topic that may be a little controversial, but if it’s for the glory of the Lord, do it. I am glad you’re not cussing or drinking on there. I’ll just be truthful with you Matt, because I know there’s a lot of people that are not Catholic and the devil could cause this to be a stumbling block. Other than that, I think you’re doing a great job! Keep it up. I’ve got you, Cameron, and your family on my prayer list. Keep it up. When in doubt always remember cow poop leads to beautiful roses. Even though our best is as filthy rags before our blessed Lord, He still is willing to use it.
Do I always agree with Matt's takes? Nope. Does anyone other than me care? Also nope. I have really enjoyed watching these interviews, finding out about great Catholics (and non-Catholics) who do great work, and getting interesting talking points and thoughts. 0 stars.
Looking on the bright side, at least you know the super long critical comments are not bots. If I don’t like a podcast series, I just tune out, I cannot understand these rage critiques.
Lol I watched my first JRE episode yesterday( I watched pints first) and calling you the JR of the catholic world was my same sentiment. However i do like this podcast more.
So what I'm taking away from that last comment is that if you are a man with traditionally masculine interests, you are obligated to hide them from the public. Don't you dare let your interests slip out to your audience, nor talk about them with any of your guests, or else you have committed an Act of Cringe.
Absolutely treasure your podcast and the glorious, thoughtful, substantive, funny, and meaningful conversations here. I thank God and pray for you and your family and staff. The nasty, bitter comments read here are from a dark place … maybe bots. Know that to truly pursue the call of the Lord you will encounter hate. They hated Jesus Himself, the innocent and loving Lord who healed the sick, gave sight to the blind and cast out demons! Let not a single word steal your peace in Christ.
Agree with all of them. You are a horrible human being! Me too! We're all horrible and trying to be better! Love you boys! Keep up the horrible work. Here's five stars (imagine there's five stars right about here)
Hello Matt. We like your Chanel. I have a question. We are looking for an english Catholic Bible. When my wife and me were protestants the King James was the best. Now we are Catholics by the Grace of God. Any recommendation from you or any subscriber? IThanks and God bless you all. Greetings from Spain
Hi. Congratulations and you and your wife’s conversion. For a good English translation, there are two that immediately come to mind. 1) The douay Rheims. This is a very traditional translation used by catholics for centuries, and as a result has a devoted fanbase, similar to that of the KJV in Protestant circles. It is a word for word translation, which I have always personally preferred, but just to make you aware it is a translation, not of the original texts, but a translation of the vulgate, which was a Latin translation of the Septuagint written by st Jerome. It is also a older translation, so it can be, at times, hard for a modern person to read. But if, as you say in your comment, you used to read KJV, you won’t find any problem either understanding it. 2) The NRSVCE The NRSVCE is considered the most ‘scholarly’ translation and will be often used in books/papers in the field of bible scholarship. It is also a word for word translation, like the Douay Rheims, and the modern language used might make it easier for the reader to engage with. However, it doesn’t have the same level of history as the Douay Rheims, and is coming at the translation from a more secular point of view. This means that when you have a choice of words the Greek or Hebrew word could be translated to In English, the NRSVCE usually goes with the less faith/religion sounding word and more with a word without the direct religious connotations. These bibles are both approved by the church, so really I would suggest trusting your conscience and taking the matter to God in prayer. Hope this helpful, and God bless you and your family.
@Doublebackflip11 Thanks a lot for your good and long answer. About trusting in my conscience, I preffer to be careful. The conscience of Luther "was captived to the Word of God", and look what happened. :-) So, from now on as Catholics, better to look also for good and wise direction. 🙏🏻 God bless you.
@@SergioGilNebroI'd second the Douay Rheims suggestion, but more so to have on hand as a reference. It's rather difficult to read. My suggestion would be the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible. They just came out with a second edition, but the first edition is supposed to be rather good as well. Welcome to the Catholic Church. Glad to have you
"If you get me a yamaka, sure..." I gotta struggle to not laugh in the office, Matt. Also, cosplaying involves adopting mannerisms. Somebody saying you're cosplaying as someone means you're pretending you do what they do. For somebody cosplaying as Gimli, it would be pretending to shun and scorn somebody dressed as an elf. For somebody cosplaying as a DW host, presumably that means pretending to mock marxists or some other thing; this is really a pretend insult that feels insulting to nobody but the person saying it. If you were to say "facts don't care about your feelings," I think everybody would enjoy it except that commenter.
““Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Matthew 5:11-12 NKJV❤ I’ve never felt the power of the Holy Spirit so strongly over this verse before. I truly believe God LOVES our faithfulness through suffering, and promises reward we can’t fathom. Remember this through the awkwardness, the embarrassment, the concern for social pressures, hate, and even violence and death. Imagine what embarrassing, difficult things would you do for a billion dollar lottery. Now imagine what you’ll do for your Creator, the lover of your soul, the source of all meaning, value, and joy itself when He cannot lie and promises exceedingly. Imagine those around the world that are being attacked and literally killed for Christ. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad. ❤
@ Very true, “criticism is not persecution”. HATE COMMENTS are a bit more. The reality of thousands upon thousands of Christians murdered or forced to flee around the world is very dramatic. While this is a totally different level of persecution, all of the attacks started as thoughts and words of hateful criticism(not simple correction criticism). Hateful words can direct the destiny of nations, esp. democracies making choices based on what they hear. The hate of Cain was the seed of murder against Abel. Criticism FROM the prophets was a call for repentance. Criticism AGAINST the prophets was a hateful call to end them permanently. Jesus said, “…whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ Shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ Shall be in danger of hell fire.”Matt. 5:21-22 “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”” Matthew 12:37 NKJV

For example, the late Al Kresta was a masterful interviewer, and he was able to ask targeted, pithy questions to bring forth the most important insights from his guest, even within the time constraints of live radio. So if I listened to a segment of Al Kresta's show, I could learn an amazing amount from Al's conversation with his guest, even in just one 15-minute segment.
Matt uses a more free-wheeling, relaxed, unhurried approach to interviewing. This means that the same valuable insights that I could have gotten from a 15-minute interview with Al Kresta may take two hours to get from an interview with Matt. But the interview with Matt will also have much more, including conversation on topics that you wouldn't expect that guest to discuss. It's just a different atmosphere or attitude. One is targeted and to the point, while the other is playful and relaxed. As I see it, both approaches have advantages and disadvantages, and different listeners will prefer one approach or the other. Or some listeners, like me, will enjoy both.
Hahhahahahah... Good ones.
What I always liked about Catholics, especially the early ones, was their sense of humour and distance from themselves. Glad you're following in their footsteps.
Glad to see Josiah and Matt not taking these comments too seriously. There’s always going to be bad with the good, especially on the internet. Keep doing your amazing work!
Looking on the bright side, at least you know the super long critical comments are not bots.
If I don’t like a podcast series, I just tune out, I cannot understand these rage critiques. 😂
Fire josiah! Bring back thursday!
Well I for one genuinely think you have the best podcast out there period, secular or not.
Matt is a powerful tool for our Lord. Critics, get over yourselves and quit the trivial language.
I have the EXACT Icon of the Good Shepherd! Recongize it anywhere! God bless
Wooo! Hold the bus. Yes, maybe give some thought to some of the comments, pray about them, then let them go in one ear and out the other. You are helping so many people in their relationship with the Lord. You are letting your light shine for Jesus. Of course there’s going to be people who disagree, but brother don’t you quit. You do the best you can, give it to the Lord, and He’ll make good out of it.
Matt this may sound crazy, but years ago, when I first planted my flower bed we laid the fertilizer to it. That cow poop stunk our house up and probably my neighbor’s yard for a couple of days. The wind seemed like it was taking that scent everywhere. Then the scent went away, and I had some of the prettiest roses in the neighborhood. My point is this, sure you can bury cow poop, or you can use it to help produce beautiful flowers.
God uses our messes and what we see as extreme little to make great things come out of it. Just because you can’t see the results doesn’t mean they’re not there. Sometimes you may say things wrong, or discuss a topic that may be a little controversial, but if it’s for the glory of the Lord, do it. I am glad you’re not cussing or drinking on there. I’ll just be truthful with you Matt, because I know there’s a lot of people that are not Catholic and the devil could cause this to be a stumbling block.
Other than that, I think you’re doing a great job! Keep it up. I’ve got you, Cameron, and your family on my prayer list. Keep it up. When in doubt always remember cow poop leads to beautiful roses. Even though our best is as filthy rags before our blessed Lord, He still is willing to use it.
This is my favorite podcast that I hate. I hate Matt and Pints so much that I listen to him everyday and enjoy him and his commentary.
Ok that was hilarious 😂
Do I always agree with Matt's takes? Nope. Does anyone other than me care? Also nope.
I have really enjoyed watching these interviews, finding out about great Catholics (and non-Catholics) who do great work, and getting interesting talking points and thoughts.
0 stars.
I honestly don't get where all this hatred is coming from.
Looking on the bright side, at least you know the super long critical comments are not bots.
If I don’t like a podcast series, I just tune out, I cannot understand these rage critiques.
1:32 this is a great line lol
Lol I watched my first JRE episode yesterday( I watched pints first) and calling you the JR of the catholic world was my same sentiment. However i do like this podcast more.
1:42 I’m holding space with this comment.
1/5 stars. This is hateful and uncharotable of people who are just sharing their opinion.
I tried to do something funny, but I think I failed.
I knew it! It's really Josiah's show. Matt is just the puppet! Are they REALLY Matt's kids. I think not! Continue the good work Mattie poo!😘
So what I'm taking away from that last comment is that if you are a man with traditionally masculine interests, you are obligated to hide them from the public. Don't you dare let your interests slip out to your audience, nor talk about them with any of your guests, or else you have committed an Act of Cringe.
Absolutely treasure your podcast and the glorious, thoughtful, substantive, funny, and meaningful conversations here. I thank God and pray for you and your family and staff. The nasty, bitter comments read here are from a dark place … maybe bots. Know that to truly pursue the call of the Lord you will encounter hate. They hated Jesus Himself, the innocent and loving Lord who healed the sick, gave sight to the blind and cast out demons! Let not a single word steal your peace in Christ.
Bots, seriously? Everything was fair-minded criticism. Not being able to take criticism and seeing it as "hate" or even "rage" is unhealthy.
That's it, I'm moving! 😮😅
DO. BETTER.
😂🙄😑🙃😒
My usual reactions to that phrase also by making the fart sound in my head and a 👎🏼 😂
Agree with all of them. You are a horrible human being! Me too! We're all horrible and trying to be better!
Love you boys! Keep up the horrible work. Here's five stars (imagine there's five stars right about here)
mAn tHiS sHoW sUcKs, Joshua stinks too what ever happened to that Thursday guy?
I’m sorry that was too far..
❤️😂
Hello Matt. We like your Chanel.
I have a question. We are looking for an english Catholic Bible. When my wife and me were protestants the King James was the best. Now we are Catholics by the Grace of God. Any recommendation from you or any subscriber? IThanks and God bless you all.
Greetings from Spain
Hi. Congratulations and you and your wife’s conversion. For a good English translation, there are two that immediately come to mind.
1) The douay Rheims.
This is a very traditional translation used by catholics for centuries, and as a result has a devoted fanbase, similar to that of the KJV in Protestant circles. It is a word for word translation, which I have always personally preferred, but just to make you aware it is a translation, not of the original texts, but a translation of the vulgate, which was a Latin translation of the Septuagint written by st Jerome. It is also a older translation, so it can be, at times, hard for a modern person to read. But if, as you say in your comment, you used to read KJV, you won’t find any problem either understanding it.
2) The NRSVCE
The NRSVCE is considered the most ‘scholarly’ translation and will be often used in books/papers in the field of bible scholarship. It is also a word for word translation, like the Douay Rheims, and the modern language used might make it easier for the reader to engage with. However, it doesn’t have the same level of history as the Douay Rheims, and is coming at the translation from a more secular point of view. This means that when you have a choice of words the Greek or Hebrew word could be translated to In English, the NRSVCE usually goes with the less faith/religion sounding word and more with a word without the direct religious connotations.
These bibles are both approved by the church, so really I would suggest trusting your conscience and taking the matter to God in prayer.
Hope this helpful, and God bless you and your family.
@Doublebackflip11 Thanks a lot for your good and long answer.
About trusting in my conscience, I preffer to be careful. The conscience of Luther "was captived to the Word of God", and look what happened. :-)
So, from now on as Catholics, better to look also for good and wise direction. 🙏🏻
God bless you.
@@SergioGilNebroI'd second the Douay Rheims suggestion, but more so to have on hand as a reference. It's rather difficult to read. My suggestion would be the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible. They just came out with a second edition, but the first edition is supposed to be rather good as well. Welcome to the Catholic Church. Glad to have you
I'm not sure where anyone would equate you with Taylor Marshall or someone like Tim Gordon.
Matt please don't quit! ;-(
"If you get me a yamaka, sure..." I gotta struggle to not laugh in the office, Matt.
Also, cosplaying involves adopting mannerisms. Somebody saying you're cosplaying as someone means you're pretending you do what they do. For somebody cosplaying as Gimli, it would be pretending to shun and scorn somebody dressed as an elf. For somebody cosplaying as a DW host, presumably that means pretending to mock marxists or some other thing; this is really a pretend insult that feels insulting to nobody but the person saying it. If you were to say "facts don't care about your feelings," I think everybody would enjoy it except that commenter.
Video is only 8.5 minutes long. Going to add a one star just for that.
Anyone who tells others to "do better" are the ultimate NPCs and makes me root for the vaccine.
Is Matt Fradd quiting youtube, absofraddalutely not
Matt ruined my life, I no longer sleep and only wonder why I dont have an outback accent.
'Until I Quit UA-cam' ... if only!
““Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
Matthew 5:11-12 NKJV❤
I’ve never felt the power of the Holy Spirit so strongly over this verse before. I truly believe God LOVES our faithfulness through suffering, and promises reward we can’t fathom. Remember this through the awkwardness, the embarrassment, the concern for social pressures, hate, and even violence and death.
Imagine what embarrassing, difficult things would you do for a billion dollar lottery. Now imagine what you’ll do for your Creator, the lover of your soul, the source of all meaning, value, and joy itself when He cannot lie and promises exceedingly.
Imagine those around the world that are being attacked and literally killed for Christ. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad. ❤
Criticism is not persecution stop being dramatic
@ Very true, “criticism is not persecution”. HATE COMMENTS are a bit more.
The reality of thousands upon thousands of Christians murdered or forced to flee around the world is very dramatic. While this is a totally different level of persecution, all of the attacks started as thoughts and words of hateful criticism(not simple correction criticism).
Hateful words can direct the destiny of nations, esp. democracies making choices based on what they hear.
The hate of Cain was the seed of murder against Abel.
Criticism FROM the prophets was a call for repentance.
Criticism AGAINST the prophets was a hateful call to end them permanently.
Jesus said, “…whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ Shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ Shall be in danger of hell fire.”Matt. 5:21-22
“For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.””
Matthew 12:37 NKJV
What a glutton for punishment
I love you Matt. You solidified my faith. Blessed are those who are persecuted in the name of Jesus. Deus benedicat tibi
An embarrassing amount of time was spent on the Rogan cut away
