I grew up listening to John Michael. I am in Rcia and am planning on entering the church later this year. I grew up protestant. But my mother liked Michael Card and truly loved the Brother to brother album. Eventually, we had multiple JMT's albums. I would like to think God used him, through his music to soften my heart towards Catholics and the church as I became an adult I don't remember having the typical protestant attitude towards catholics which eventually led to me attending Catholic Mass and working towards not only myself, but bringing my children into the church as well.
Jess, sweetheart, you comment sends joy into my heart, and l send that joy to you! Your story is unique.... it also gives me strength, when l read converts coming of their own free will, accepting the Roman Catholic Church:
This is part of my story. My closest Catholic friend kept on loving me and respectfully discussing theology with me. Seven years later, she was my sponsor.
Oh my! I’ve always loved John Michael’s music. I grew up Protestant evangelical but have always been drawn to the quiet, contemplation, and the beauty of the Lord. “Come to the Table” was a God send, comforting me through very difficult times, helping me to hear from heaven, assuring me of God’s presence. Thank you, Michael, for your music ministry and testimony here. And guess what, I was received into the Catholic church this Easter 2024! I think I’ve always been Catholic at heart, and your music no doubt was a seed along my journey home! God bless you! And God bless this UA-cam channel sharing powerful stories of hope 🙏❤️
How do you reconcile all the praying to Mary and dead people in the RCC when the bible tells us in Deuteronomy 5 not to make any graven image. How can the pope give you time of purgatory? Do you really believe that when the pipe sits excathedra - his words can overrule the Bible? Do you really believe that the bread of the mass turns into the body of Christ? Surely Jesus died once for repentant sinners. Beware of false christs.
In 1992, i was a Wesleyan and a charismatic friend took me to see John Michael Talbot at a Baptist church in Birmingham, Alabama. It was the first time i experienced true rest in God and the first time i knew Catholics were actually Christian. I ended up becoming Catholic in 2004. BEST decision of my life. I am so grateful Jesus welcomed me home.
@@jeromepopiel388 Knowing God can handle everything. Knowing God isn't depending on me to accomplish His goals. Knowing God's capable of looking out for me. Knowing that when Jesus says, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light," He actually meant it. I'd never experienced that peace before.
I had severe neck injury, chronic neck pains, the Doctor advised me to stop working and go on disability, but I told the Doctor give me the pain medication for now, I will try it and will be back to see him in few days, but I never went back to the Doctor because I had the mortgage payment and kids in private school.About 30 minutes before going to work I put heating pad on my neck and listened to John Michael Talbot music for about 10 years. My neck injury was totally healed.
In the early 90s I was introduced to Talbot's music. I was an evangelical/Pentecostal. This revolutionized my faith. It took me sometime to eventually become Catholic (2012). John Michael Talbot is probably the biggest (earthly) reason why I became Catholic. Thank you brother Talbot!
Mary can't do a thing for you in the next life. Without holy spirit. All who says that "I am a Christian" will eventually move on to different sects. They lead their life their own way. Bible tells us that God wants to lead our life. After jesus the oe who has authority over us is Holy Spirit. Without him we are zero. If you change to a Muslim sect also it's not unbelievable for us. May your God Mary Bless You.

As a choir member in a Catholic Church, I always get teary eyes and/or feel moved whenever I sing any of the music written by John Michael Talbot. I found them to be so spiritually beautiful.
"The best ballgame in town " reminds me of the fallen away Catholic Irish author of "Angela's Ashes" during a talk show interview. When asked about the Catholic Church he said regardless of his situation "No matter how you slice it, it's still the best game in town."
Even if you did not want to make those albums, they are Such a Blessing! I was a “breakaway “ Catholic in my late teens and early twenties who came back to my faith and yet again became lukewarm and am now finally REALIZING . (Words cannot express…) Every time i have looked for music to inspire and guide me-John Michael Talbot is the first name i search. “Holy Spirit, come with your fire” resonates in my heart of my soul. And so many more are so important and special. I will pray for you and monks who love and cherish our faith in such a special way!❤🙏🏼💗🕊️
I used to listen to John Michael Talbot as a kid with my Protestant family. Him, David Meece, and Richard Mullins were three of my favorite artists as a child. It was a comfort to hear Richard Mullins planned to come home just before his death and I was very encouraged when I discovered John Michael Talbot converted many years ago.
I got hired on a tree crew in 1989. One of my co workers asked me what religion I was? I said Catholic. He asked if I ever heard of John Michael Talbot ? I said yes. He was a Protestant and he loved him. LoL
@@maryadame44it was special to see John Michael and Terry playing with mostly protestant musicians at the music festivals. I bet the majority of the folks were not aware he was Catholic. I'm not sure if Terry became a Catholic, YET 🤔
Been a fan of JMT since '83...saw him perform with the DSO at the Dallas Convention Center 12/15/84 and prayed with him afterwards. I also attended a workshop he conducted outside of Austin, TX. When I became a "prodigal" of sorts and ventured away from the RCC, I still listened to his first five albums which kept me centered on Christ and His Church. I am making my way back, being drawn back, and absolutely loved this interview! I consider myself blessed for having seen and heard it. Grace & Peace of Christ be with you...
When I had my recon and became a Third Order Franciscan, I dedicated my prayer life to the conversion of John Michael Talbot. His music even before his conversion touched me in a special way.
There’s a message from John Talbot to my father in a book called “The Lessons of Saint Francis”. He and Terri signed the book for my dad and even put what looks like a little frog face with its tongue sticking out. I found the book with this autograph shortly after my dad died a few years back.
My husband and I were married in 1979. He became a Christian right after we were married, he was raised Episcopalian. I was raised Assemblies of God and we attended first assembly of God in Memphis where I and where we lived. At the time. I grew up with a mother who was an opera singer and was paid to sing in various churches throughout the Memphis area. Her brother was also and opera singer but on a professional level. So I grew up around all the cultural arts and when we came upon. John Michael Talbot's music, I think it was around 1981 or 1982, we were both hooked! We would play his music every evening before we went to bed and would be on the couch together and just meditate on the words of the music. They are very scriptural and we love it! I still have most of his music that I have bought CDs now and back then we had them on cassette. We love the heart of God inJohn. Michael Talbot.
Thank your John Michael for this powerful revealing interview. You were a major influence in my Baptism in the Holy Spirit in my living my Holy Catholic Faith. The first time I heard your music was when my newly born again future spouse Evangelical Protestant was playing Come to the Quiet on her cassette player. My response was: "That guy sounds Catholic!". Her response was: "I don't know, I just like him!" Now she is a very faithful devout Catholic! Praise be the Lord! I plan to show this awesome interview to my last RCIA class this Wednesday.
I truly believe that C S Lewis never became "Catholic" because he was on the road to the True Catholic Church and would never have led many Protestants to the fullness of the Faith if he had fully completed the Journey. Our gracious Lord works in Mysterious and Merciful Ways!
Three of my favorite songs by John Michael are One Faith, Only in God, and I Am the Bread of Life, but I've never heard a John Michael Talbot song that I didn't like and I've been listening to his music for over forty years. I'll be seventy two in August. God bless.
"Brother To Brother" is in my top 3 favorite worship works. It is the picture of ecumenical love for Jesus that I have had the joy of experiencing in my extended family.
and a fact that Catholics and the world do not know is that the musical notes were made by Catholic Church, the Do-Re-MI-FA-So-La-SI were made by a Prist name Guido of Arezzo (Italian: Guido d'Arezzo;[n 1] c. 991-992 - after 1033) was an Italian music theorist and pedagogue
My mom was a big fan, then i became one in my teens mid '80s. Went to hear JMT play at a packed Church and was so moved i donated a Benjamin, as a teenager! 😂
John Micheal, your music and all the Christian bands you mentioned etc had a huge influence in my life. You helped to lay the groundwork for me before I eventually came into the Church.
I really enjoyed this interview and learning about John Talbot. I believe I have heard of his name before, but I was unaware of his music and story, which is fascinating and obviously inspired. I will look into John's music and his book about the mass. Thank you for this interview!
34min & following is so profound! Five min of the best explanation of the CC in the west. I rode the wave of JMT music. They helped shaped my love for “peace”. I raised 4 children singing as I struggled to build the family. None practice the faith. Surrender and trust and prayer.
Around 36-38 minute mark when JMT contrasted individual-ism with the community of family as the basic community- I was reminded of a time in aprox 1987-88 when a Mental Health/Substance Abuse Rehabilitation “specialist” we met with blind-sided my husband and I with what felt like vicious attack against our family structure as a cohesive unit model, as though we were abusive to our children in neglecting their individual-isms and identity.
Thank you for shining a light on how our Catholic Church is going in the wrong direction. Please continue to pray for our church that we turn our hearts over to God .
I discovered john michael talbot's music when i become a choir member in our parish since then i already love listening to all his music and inspired the story of his conversion. Praise be to God! I am your new subscriber brother, more power to your ministry. Watching from the Philipines
Wow , so eloquent and deeply moving. Knowing the successes of the world and yet - chosing Christ. Thank you for sharing your gems and all the research that has been done re. Church evolution handed to is on a plate. Would love to have been a nun - just discovered this option a few decades too late 😅. Wish I could see thosr gardens, but in South Africa. Praise God for men of faith who yearn for His presence more than anything else. We were so blessed by this interview 🙋
John Michael Talbot I love your music and I absolutely love you! This interview is an answer to a prayer that I could listen to your testimony. God bless you for planting good in my life from the first time I heard your music years and years ago.
What a beautiful soul..I could listen to John Michael for hours. Thank you both so much .What an inspiration in these times to have him in our midst and in our Church.🙏☘️
Oh my goodness! John Michael's observations on the Church in the West...individualism and individuated...are right on! As well, as a nearly 80 yr. old who just celebrated 55 yrs in the Church what he says about the condition of the Church and the loss of the contemplative in our culture speaks directly to the longing in my heart and reflects my fears for the future. This is going out to all my Catholic friends, young and old, to hear these prophetic utterances from this iconic Christian elder! Blessings on you both!
I had the honor to be able to see John Michael and Terry at a charismatic conference at the fountain blue Hilton on Miami Beach back in the early 80s. Andre Crouch and The Pat Terry Group and a bunch more were playing for Jesus. Campus Life Youth for Christ had already gotten me out of the Catholic Church and I didn't like it. That was a priority for Bill Bright and Jim Green in South Florida. If you were a Catholic, you would be pulled out of the Catholic Church. Keith Green was a favorite of mine back in the day and I almost went to Last Days just before he died. Music has been such a huge part of my journey Home, but I can only play the radio 😅 John Michael, probably my favorite is Behold Now the Kingdom, and See with New Eyes ☝️🙏 I'm forever grateful for Steve Wood for taking the time to talk to me while he was writing his chapter of Surprised by Truth back in the early 90'. By the time I finished the second of four cassette tapes, I knew that I had to come back Home and I was going to lose many friends. I did, and I did. Praise God Almighty ☝️🙏 Viva Cristo Rey
😮I Really Enjoy Listening All of Your Music it Gives Me Peace and Love I Also Enjoyed Your Life Story on My Phone and Thank You May God Be With All of You in the Hermatage Peace and Love Take Care Rosemary DL❤
Thank you so much for this interview. It comes at a time when my health has affected my ability to lead an active life and am leading a more contemplative life. I once sang with John Michael Talbot in concert but am currently under Dr.s orders not to sing because when I do I faint! His songs have been the background of my faith. Gracias!
Oh my goodness, what a great inspiration JMT is to our Catholic Faith. THANK YOU! My uncle was a Franciscan priest in Indianapolis at one time. Wonder if you were there at the same time?? Fr. Philip Pavich, OFM. I know he loved your music.
Catholic cantor here, finger style guitar soloist. I appreciate John Michael’s music very much much and appreciate what he has to say about modern evangelical-style music in the Church. I sing mostly traditional hymns with my guitar and am always glad to include a JMT piece when it fits with the liturgy of the day. This is very holy and tasteful music, even more appreciated having heard this interview. God bless you. PS also a convert as of Easter 1997.
I was introduced to Talbot at SCRC (So CA Charismatic Renewal) in 1980. He’s been my favorite Catholic musician. Still love to listen to my CD Come to the Quiet. In my Bible I put 🎵 notes & can sing the Psalms as I read. His music & talks have deepened my faith, as JM says, gives me the spark that draws me to Jesus & Mary.💝
It seemed that jmt was always in the background of my long Christian journey. Like a mountain that dominates a landscape, that you often aren't conscious of but shapes your whole worldview. His music is deeply spiritual, contemplative. Thank you for having him as your guest!
Amen. Beautiful. I heard about John Michael from Clare DuBois of heartdwellers and how he was one of the major keys to her conversion. Having listened to this interview I can see why.
My sister loves him and so when I saw Table of Plenty at some little shop I happened upon years ago, I bought it intending to give to her.... I still have it. I love his voice and some of these have always been favs to sing at Mass.
A beautiful interview. If I were to close my eyes and listen only, I would be convinced I'm listening to Bishop Strickland, both in accent and in manner.
I can relate to the crying during his songs. It didn't start happening until I was in my 20's but now that I have returned, Be Not Afraid will get me everytime. I can't sing it in mass bc I will start crying and I don't want anyone wondering what's happening to me lol
One day, if given monastic quiet time with God's voice, I will respond/add to your message here. I am a Protestant convert (online dialogue) of many years who resonates with so many parts of your story and ministry. No online testimony. Simple conversion history and expression through the Internet. Thank you for this wonderful testimony!
Thank you for the video. After 3 years in the Army I became a convert during early college years.. I remember one album 'Listen'. It really touched home. I note a lot of dynamic surges in Catholic essence, from a full Carmelite monastery being built in Wyoming to the very solid Canons of St. John Cantius 'Bringing back the Sacred through Liturgy' in of all places Chicago ..a Democratic party [Communist] center. I hope the prediction of the West loosing everything is not going to occur. [meaning I guess churches, bookstores, religious goods stores, etc] At the same time I note the predictions from Garabandal, Spain and the endorsement by St. Padre Pio as to the Marian authenticity of that message ... and it's a very scary situation. The Surrender Prayer Novena is a great one for keeping balance ... no matter what God and His justice requires of our human family. God is loving ALL the time. ALL the time God is loving.
My God and my Lord I heard most of your holy songs prayed to the lord as a doble blessing your voice sound like John Denver cried wend he died by wend her you sounds praising the lord very proud to hear you touch my heart cried again my heart out with joy and happiness very proud to be Catholic since birth and grandmother pass it on have many friends like Baptist Jehová,Anglican Pentecostal Muslim Buddast Sanvent day have great loving Protestant but still catholic and purchase many of you song thank you for all you do for the kingdom of God in Christ Jesus will pray for you Amen ❤️🙏🏽👍🏼💯% truth thanks both of you …..😀pray for me might have cancer will find in July…,.

free will, accepting the Roman Catholic Church:
As Catholics we must always to our Almighty God in the highest and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.

I think St. Augustine had a similar situation.
I had severe neck injury, chronic neck pains, the Doctor advised me to stop working and go on disability, but I told the Doctor give me the pain medication for now, I will try it and will be back to see him in few days, but I never went back to the Doctor because I had the mortgage payment and kids in private school.About 30 minutes before going to work I put heating pad on my neck and listened to John Michael Talbot music for about 10 years.

It was a comfort to hear Richard Mullins planned to come home just before his death and I was very encouraged when I discovered John Michael Talbot converted many years ago.
Thank you John Michael
I got hired on a tree crew in 1989.
One of my co workers asked me what religion I was? I said Catholic. He asked if I ever heard of John Michael Talbot ?
I said yes. He was a Protestant and he loved him. LoL
Wasn’t John Michael Talbot a Catholic.. I saw him in person..❤️🕊
@@maryadame44 he was a convert to Catholic
@@maryadame44it was special to see John Michael and Terry playing with mostly protestant musicians at the music festivals.
I bet the majority of the folks were not aware he was Catholic. I'm not sure if Terry became a Catholic, YET 🤔
@maryadame44 I always assumed he was a Catholic monk! I am Catholic. I did not know about Protestants back then.
Been a fan of JMT since '83...saw him perform with the DSO at the Dallas Convention Center 12/15/84 and prayed with him afterwards. I also attended a workshop he conducted outside of Austin, TX.
When I became a "prodigal" of sorts and ventured away from the RCC, I still listened to his first five albums which kept me centered on Christ and His Church.
I am making my way back, being drawn back, and absolutely loved this interview! I consider myself blessed for having seen and heard it.
Grace & Peace of Christ be with you...
Great to hear, brother! God bless you. Peace be with you.
John Michael Talbot's music is one of my favorites.
Thank you for not speaking so much and letting the guest tell his story. Subscribed.
51:00 Oh wow! He totally nails it about the issues with modern worship music. So well articulated and insightful.
Thank you for this wonderful and inspirational interview. It gave me an increased appreciation of John Michael Talbot’s background and music.
thank you for sharing your love for my Catholics faith.
When I had my recon and became a Third Order Franciscan, I dedicated my prayer life to the conversion of John Michael Talbot. His music even before his conversion touched me in a special way.
There’s a message from John Talbot to my father in a book called “The Lessons of Saint Francis”. He and Terri signed the book for my dad and even put what looks like a little frog face with its tongue sticking out. I found the book with this autograph shortly after my dad died a few years back.
Your music does connect generations. My mom played it too while I was "protesting" but we both could appreciate it!
GOD'S GOOD ALLELUIA AMEN WATCHING FROM NEW ZEALAND ❤CATHOLIC 🙏🙏
My husband and I were married in 1979. He became a Christian right after we were married, he was raised Episcopalian. I was raised Assemblies of God and we attended first assembly of God in Memphis where I and where we lived. At the time. I grew up with a mother who was an opera singer and was paid to sing in various churches throughout the Memphis area. Her brother was also and opera singer but on a professional level. So I grew up around all the cultural arts and when we came upon. John Michael Talbot's music, I think it was around 1981 or 1982, we were both hooked! We would play his music every evening before we went to bed and would be on the couch together and just meditate on the words of the music. They are very scriptural and we love it! I still have most of his music that I have bought CDs now and back then we had them on cassette. We love the heart of God inJohn. Michael Talbot.
Thank your John Michael for this powerful revealing interview. You were a major influence in my Baptism in the Holy Spirit in my living my Holy Catholic Faith. The first time I heard your music was when my newly born again future spouse Evangelical Protestant was playing Come to the Quiet on her cassette player. My response was: "That guy sounds Catholic!". Her response was: "I don't know, I just like him!" Now she is a very faithful devout Catholic! Praise be the Lord! I plan to show this awesome interview to my last RCIA class this Wednesday.
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing this.
I truly believe that C S Lewis never became "Catholic" because he was on the road to the True Catholic Church and would never have led many Protestants to the fullness of the Faith if he had fully completed the Journey. Our gracious Lord works in Mysterious and Merciful Ways!
Wow! I clicked on this but don't have time to listen but can't wait to get back to it. This is exciting!!
JMT is absolutely one of my favorite people ever!! Thanks for having him on the podcast!
Three of my favorite songs by John Michael are One Faith, Only in God, and I Am the Bread of Life, but I've never heard a John Michael Talbot song that I didn't like and I've been listening to his music for over forty years. I'll be seventy two in August. God bless.
"Brother To Brother" is in my top 3 favorite worship works. It is the picture of ecumenical love for Jesus that I have had the joy of experiencing in my extended family.
What an amazing interview. God Bless John Talbot. I would so come to your retreat but live in New Zealand. God Bless both
I was in the Army, on leave in I think 1985, and found his book. It always stuck with me. I still have it.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful ! Thank you so much for sharing this interview! Now I will search for some of Michael's wonderful music !
and a fact that Catholics and the world do not know is that the musical notes were made by Catholic Church, the Do-Re-MI-FA-So-La-SI were made by a Prist name Guido of Arezzo (Italian: Guido d'Arezzo;[n 1] c. 991-992 - after 1033) was an Italian music theorist and pedagogue
Welcome home John Michael ❤
My mom was a big fan, then i became one in my teens mid '80s. Went to hear JMT play at a packed Church and was so moved i donated a Benjamin, as a teenager! 😂
Saw him perform at a charismatic(!) conference in the early ‘80’s along with Mother Angelica.
John Micheal, your music and all the Christian bands you mentioned etc had a huge influence in my life. You helped to lay the groundwork for me before I eventually came into the Church.
Awesome testimony and very relatable, thank u!
This was an incredible interview! I LOVED it.
I really enjoyed this interview and learning about John Talbot. I believe I have heard of his name before, but I was unaware of his music and story, which is fascinating and obviously inspired. I will look into John's music and his book about the mass. Thank you for this interview!
34min & following is so profound! Five min of the best explanation of the CC in the west. I rode the wave of JMT music. They helped shaped my love for “peace”. I raised 4 children singing as I struggled to build the family. None practice the faith. Surrender and trust and prayer.
What a fabulous interview…. God Bless You Both 🙏🙏
Great interview with John Michael Talbot. God has used him as an inspiration in music! 🎚🎵 🎶 🎼 🎚 1:00:17
Welcome home Sir. Praise The Lord Jesus Christ. May Lord Jesus bless you. Amen.
So glad to hear his conversion story! Love his music! ❤️🔥 Would love to know where he attends church!
Around 36-38 minute mark when JMT contrasted individual-ism with the community of family as the basic community- I was reminded of a time in aprox 1987-88 when a Mental Health/Substance Abuse Rehabilitation “specialist” we met with blind-sided my husband and I with what felt like vicious attack against our family structure as a cohesive unit model, as though we were abusive to our children in neglecting their individual-isms and identity.
God, please continue to bless this man and his music🙏
I am catholic, baptized, and confirmation, and very devote❤️🕊
@tony1685 you are very sad. Our sacramental life - grace filled sacraments instituted by Christ is rich. Your loss.
I remember seeing and hearing his music at a charismatic event. Bought two of his CD’s. 🙂
Thank you for shining a light on how our Catholic Church is going in the wrong direction. Please continue to pray for our church that we turn our hearts over to God .
I discovered john michael talbot's music when i become a choir member in our parish since then i already love listening to all his music and inspired the story of his conversion. Praise be to God! I am your new subscriber brother, more power to your ministry. Watching from the Philipines
Wow , so eloquent and deeply moving. Knowing the successes of the world and yet - chosing Christ. Thank you for sharing your gems and all the research that has been done re. Church evolution handed to is on a plate. Would love to have been a nun - just discovered this option a few decades too late 😅. Wish I could see thosr gardens, but in South Africa. Praise God for men of faith who yearn for His presence more than anything else. We were so blessed by this interview 🙋
John Michael Talbot I love your music and I absolutely love you! This interview is an answer to a prayer that I could listen to your testimony. God bless you for planting good in my life from the first time I heard your music years and years ago.
What a beautiful soul..I could listen to John Michael for hours.
Thank you both so much .What an inspiration in these times to have him in our midst and in our Church.🙏☘️
I love, love, love The Lord’s Supper album. My brother and I wore it out when it came out, and I still love the music!
I love that song “One Bread One Body” too. 😊
Wow, I didn't realized he did those music. Thanks for this interview.
Thanks for watching.
God Bless you for your testimony that renews my faith. It is a very powerful testimony that impacted my life. Thank you and God bless you both.
Oh my goodness! John Michael's observations on the Church in the West...individualism and individuated...are right on! As well, as a nearly 80 yr. old who just celebrated 55 yrs in the Church what he says about the condition of the Church and the loss of the contemplative in our culture speaks directly to the longing in my heart and reflects my fears for the future. This is going out to all my Catholic friends, young and old, to hear these prophetic utterances from this iconic Christian elder! Blessings on you both!
I have loved his music for so long ! Actually have a CD in my vehicle always !
Bless you both
I had the honor to be able to see John Michael and Terry at a charismatic conference at the fountain blue Hilton on Miami Beach back in the early 80s.
Andre Crouch and The Pat Terry Group and a bunch more were playing for Jesus.
Campus Life Youth for Christ had already gotten me out of the Catholic Church and I didn't like it.
That was a priority for Bill Bright and Jim Green in South Florida. If you were a Catholic, you would be pulled out of the Catholic Church.
Keith Green was a favorite of mine back in the day and I almost went to Last Days just before he died.
Music has been such a huge part of my journey Home, but I can only play the radio 😅
John Michael, probably my favorite is Behold Now the Kingdom, and See with New Eyes ☝️🙏
I'm forever grateful for Steve Wood for taking the time to talk to me while he was writing his chapter of Surprised by Truth back in the early 90'. By the time I finished the second of four cassette tapes, I knew that I had to come back Home and I was going to lose many friends. I did, and I did. Praise God Almighty ☝️🙏 Viva Cristo Rey
😮I Really Enjoy Listening All of Your Music it Gives Me Peace and Love I Also Enjoyed Your Life Story on My Phone and Thank You May God Be With All of You in the Hermatage Peace and Love Take Care Rosemary DL❤
Alone, I am with Christ, in suffering I am in grace, in isolation I am in peace..❤️🕊
Detachment from this life is Attachment to God.
Thank you so much for this interview. It comes at a time when my health has affected my ability to lead an active life and am leading a more contemplative life. I once sang with John Michael Talbot in concert but am currently under Dr.s orders not to sing because when I do I faint! His songs have been the background of my faith. Gracias!
Oh my goodness, what a great inspiration JMT is to our Catholic Faith. THANK YOU! My uncle was a Franciscan priest in Indianapolis at one time. Wonder if you were there at the same time?? Fr. Philip Pavich, OFM. I know he loved your music.
Thanks be to God
Catholic cantor here, finger style guitar soloist. I appreciate John Michael’s music very much much and appreciate what he has to say about modern evangelical-style music in the Church. I sing mostly traditional hymns with my guitar and am always glad to include a JMT piece when it fits with the liturgy of the day. This is very holy and tasteful music, even more appreciated having heard this interview. God bless you. PS also a convert as of Easter 1997.
I was introduced to Talbot at SCRC (So CA Charismatic Renewal) in 1980. He’s been my favorite Catholic musician. Still love to listen to my CD Come to the Quiet. In my Bible I put 🎵 notes & can sing the Psalms as I read. His music & talks have deepened my faith, as JM says, gives me the spark that draws me to Jesus & Mary.💝
It seemed that jmt was always in the background of my long Christian journey. Like a mountain that dominates a landscape, that you often aren't conscious of but shapes your whole worldview. His music is deeply spiritual, contemplative. Thank you for having him as your guest!
Amen. Beautiful. I heard about John Michael from Clare DuBois of heartdwellers and how he was one of the major keys to her conversion. Having listened to this interview I can see why.
Always love JMT's music.
Congrats! You have passed 10k!
Thanks, Marcus! Peace, brother.
My sister loves him and so when I saw Table of Plenty at some little shop I happened upon years ago, I bought it intending to give to her.... I still have it. I love his voice and some of these have always been favs to sing at Mass.
😮words l never forget……stoop to conquer…..
Fascinating.
A beautiful interview. If I were to close my eyes and listen only, I would be convinced I'm listening to Bishop Strickland, both in accent and in manner.
He is so correct about our church getting back to its basics. I believe a period of monastic prayer is necessary for Priests and lay people as well.
I can relate to the crying during his songs. It didn't start happening until I was in my 20's but now that I have returned, Be Not Afraid will get me everytime. I can't sing it in mass bc I will start crying and I don't want anyone wondering what's happening to me lol
Great interview!!!
One day, if given monastic quiet time with God's voice, I will respond/add to your message here. I am a Protestant convert (online dialogue) of many years who resonates with so many parts of your story and ministry. No online testimony. Simple conversion history and expression through the Internet. Thank you for this wonderful testimony!
Love the interview
John Talbot I Love your
Holy Music especialy the Magnifica, you are super blessed. Thank God. Praise Jesus!! Great Testimony! Blessings...✝️🙏♥️💜🧡💛💚😌
Thank you
Jesus is Lord….I am saved!
Thank you, Eddie for your interviews. I am so glad that I "stumbled" onto you looking
through UA-cam. God Bless!
Thanks! God bless!
Thank you for the video. After 3 years in the Army I became a convert during early college years.. I remember one album 'Listen'. It really touched home. I note a lot of dynamic surges in Catholic essence, from a full Carmelite monastery being built in Wyoming to the very solid Canons of St. John Cantius 'Bringing back the Sacred through Liturgy' in of all places Chicago ..a Democratic party [Communist] center. I hope the prediction of the West loosing everything is not going to occur. [meaning I guess churches, bookstores, religious goods stores, etc] At the same time I note the predictions from Garabandal, Spain and the endorsement by St. Padre Pio as to the Marian authenticity of that message ... and it's a very scary situation. The Surrender Prayer Novena is a great one for keeping balance ... no matter what God and His justice requires of our human family. God is loving ALL the time. ALL the time God is loving.
My God and my Lord I heard most of your holy songs prayed to the lord as a doble blessing your voice sound like John Denver cried wend he died by wend her you sounds praising the lord very proud to hear you touch my heart cried again my heart out with joy and happiness very proud to be Catholic since birth and grandmother pass it on have many friends like Baptist Jehová,Anglican Pentecostal Muslim Buddast Sanvent day have great loving Protestant but still catholic and purchase many of you song thank you for all you do for the kingdom of God in Christ Jesus will pray for you Amen ❤️🙏🏽👍🏼💯% truth thanks both of you …..😀pray for me might have cancer will find in July…,.
Loved your music forever God Bless you always
I have been so blessed by John Michael Talbot and have autographed copy of his Master Collection V.1.
