I’m so excited for this!! Watching his first interview was so helpful for me on my journey home. I’m now 2 months into RCIA and going to Mass. It feels good to be home 🤍🕊️
Oh man, it's always fun and inspiring to listen to Shayne! He's a great motivator too. I'm discerning going to gym or swimming pool to train (I prefer to exercise alone in my space, so I'm reluctant), and I feel much more encouraged to do this now. And I agree that the state of the body highly influences the psychological and spiritual state. Shayne seems like a guy I'd really love to meet from time to time and get some positive boost :) Good God bless you, guys!
I'm laughing at the comment about It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia vs. Friends. My husband talks about this exact concept all the time and hates the show Friends for that exact reason. But he appreciates Seinfeld, Always Sunny, Community, etc... shows that don't try to trick you into thinking immoral and wanton behavior is just no big deal.
It’s exciting to see Shayne enter into the faith but I don’t think it is the best to push him for seek unless it was a comedy show. He just converted. Let it settle some.
He may not see it yet, but Christ is using Shayne as a valuable tool with his testimony. Even when he is not directly talking about his faith, you can see the light of jesus pouring through him. I'm so happy to see this.
I was born catholic, an im always amazed at the enthusiasm of recent converts, very envious of this man’s Passion I see the Holy Spirit working in him. Brother In Christ.
Shayne - I have a HILARIOUS story about the real presence in the Eucharist for you. The short version is that my daughter, when she was about 3 years old, absolutely thought that Jesus appeared as a tiny Lego sized man in the chalice and the priest would eat him. 😂
Okay...you'd think with the Face Tattoos that I would *INSTANTLY* recognize him, but it took me 10 minutes. I was just, like "I think I've seen this guy before..." and then I remembered the Harry Potter Prison joke.
I am a former Pentecostal who became Catholic…this is one of my favorite comedians I just found…WOW!!!! So CONFIRMING!!! God is Good!!! Gooo Shayne Smith!!!!!! 🙏🏻💕
@@rebeccaandrew333 I was raised Roman Catholic and left Catholicism decades ago. I’m grateful that Shane has come to faith in Christ! Yet, I have concerns about him being confused or misled on his faith journey. Since I left Catholicism I’ve been studying it prayerfully and systematically with a biblical hermeneutic and the more I study it the more grateful I am to have left the RCC. I have come to understand that the sacraments are a diversion from pure devotion to Christ. To be free from teaching and the traditions that distort clear biblical doctrine is such a blessing and it positions one to be able to truly hear the voice of God and understand the will of God, not only from the Bible, but from a personal prayer life dedicated to Jesus. I’m grateful that many Catholics are born again and have faith in Jesus Christ. I look forward to spending eternity with those who have. I think many Catholics are in a real relationship with Jesus not because of sacramentalism and sacerdotalism, but in spite of this. I have Catholic friends and family members whom I love. In fact I love all Catholics enough to speak what I understand as truth. Ultimately Truth is a person. The person of Jesus Christ is the Way to the Father not perfunctory religious rites. My intention here is not to offend anyone, but to speak authentically from my own experience. I know millions of Catholics are my brothers and sisters in Christ and I hope that many millions more Catholics come to faith in Jesus and trust in him for salvation and not in the magisterium of the church or many of the teachings that are intrinsic to Catholicism. I’m not saying that everything that is taught in the RCC is false, because the core gospel is preached and scriptures are read, although misinterpreted much of the time. Again, I know that I will spend eternity with many Catholics because of their faith in Jesus. In essentials unity and nonessential diversity and all things charity! I have found when authentic followers of Jesus truly respect and love one another, we can from that place have real dialogue and influence one another for truth. I say this all in love and hope that those following Shane Smith recognize that this is the wrong path to the most authentic Christian life. I think Shane is a brother in Christ and pray blessing over him and hope that he finds his way and does not let religious confusion keep him from the best that God has for him. I want the best for Shane and those following him . Anyone reading this comment who has not come to a saving faith, I urge you to forsake any and all religiosity that would keep you from a dynamic relationship with God through pure devotion to Christ! The truth shall make you free! Best blessings from God our father and our Lord Jesus Christ!
As a life coach, I can confirm Shayne’s comments on how one area of your life has an impact on the other areas. When you’re strong in one area, It has a rising tide effect on the others.
We'll I stumbled on this and as a fellow Roman Catholic, welcome❤️👍 and I pray for your faithful pursuit of a deeper understanding of why we're here ❤❤❤
@@hamie7624to have a shot? Not necessarily, but to have certainty and access to the sacrements, which are the ordinary (obviously they are in themselves extraordinary, I speak of ordinary in the sense that Astronaughts ordinarily go through training and are selected) way to justification, yes. Protestants who die in their hearts wanting to become Catholic or who see themselves as not being in heresy and who are blessed enough to not be in a formal heresy have a shot though. Im no theologian, do the research on this yourselves
@@quinnroddy1110 I've simply stated the teaching of the Holy Catholic Church, because I want my brother in Christ to go to Heaven. If you don't agree, fix yourself.
I had the opportunity to see Shayne perform in Kansas City and speak with him afterwards. He stayed after the show by the door to talk and take photos with everyone who wanted to meet him. Incredibly funny and a super nice guy. I'm so happy to hear about his baptism and full communion with the Church. Welcome home, brother.
Around 50:10, Matt notes that it actually takes strength to resist porn and masturbation. As a teacher of medieval literature, I always love surprising my students with the idea that the knightly ideal was that of preserving one’s virginity until marriage, because it takes a true man to do that. I would add that feminine virtue also requires this kind of courage (sadly, when I was a young woman I bought the lie that to be emancipated and strong I had to be sexually active before marriage).
I love this guy. He finds Friends unfunny (same, never got it), loves the Muppets, and is a freakin' ray of sunshine. Bless you on your journey into the best thing you'll ever do in your life, Shayne!!
My first mass at the Cathedral of the Madeline was also the last Mass of my son's life. We didn't know that a week later God would call him home in a hit and run. God has chosen to show his providential hand in this in many ways, and one of them is that he had a hymn based on Holst sung as the closing of that mass, and had the choir director choose the very same hymn for the closing song of my son's funeral mass, unbeknownst to me. He also chose that song to be sung at my daughter's choir concert, my other son's graduation mass, and a priest's first mass that I played at, all without me having any part in the planning, and without the planners having any knowledge of this. The majority of times I've ever heard that song in my life were all this year, by Providence. The SLC cathedral will forever be in my heart.
From one Salt Lake Catholic to another, I'm so sorry to hear of this tragedy. May you continue to find solace from our local community, the universal communion of saints, and God's Providence, and may your son rest in eternal peace.
The opposite action to sins of lust are actions of love and responsibility (responsibility for the welfare of others, especially those closest to you). .
Shayne, I appreciated that you idea f femininity involve denying others (particularly those who would exploit her or have malintent, clearly) and that **mutual submission** in marriage is the Catholic ideal. Thank you for standing on that!
He's such a sweetheart. I just want to hug that man! So glad he became Catholic. He should be Mother Natalia's bodyguard. If she ever needs on that is.
I can’t get enough of Shayne Smith! He is so endearing and funny, seriously interesting and has a brilliant brain! Combined with Matt Fradd, it’s over the top to listen to this with my morning coffee!! Welcome Home, Shayne Smith! Fiat Voluntas Tua!!
You will get your fill of him when you are both along with all those snared into the Godless abomination of catholicism are all in the lake of fire together for all eternity. Repent of your ignorance!
Shayne, your comedy consistently makes me laugh until I cry. I watched your comedy all the time during two of the hardest years of my life, and it helped so much. God bless! Also: choosing to become Catholic as a very young adult many years ago caused my then-boyfriend to begin harassing and undercutting me, saying things like "I mean, I thought you were too smart for this, this is what stupid people do."....it not only helped verify for me that I was going in the right direction, It also gave me the strength to admit to myself what I already knew: that he was a deeply unhappy person and genuinely abusive, and had been actively trying to separate me from any support system or source of self worth outside himself. I knew I had to save myself and get away. I did, and ultimately ended up with a wonderful husband and incomparably happier and more blessed life. I'm so sorry that you had to absorb that same kind of abuse, but magnified a thousandfold and on a world stage. Wishing you happiness and many blessings!
Your first Shayne Smith interview is in my top five favorite interviews of the year along with the Jimmy Akin and Breanne Demarco interviews (two of my all time favorite podcasts I've heard throughout my entire life), so I'm looking forward to this follow up! Happy Sacred Heart of Jesus month! And please know that's coming from a loving place as I'm frustrated with the imo blasphemous "Christ is King" usage that's going around. I'm a broken sinner and have fallen many times, and God never abandoned me, and I don't want anyone to feel abandoned. People are suffering enough and I hope they know Jesus loves them far more than they love themselves and everyone on Earth combined could possibly love them. Psalm 34:19 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed. 1 John 4:8-11 Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love. In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him. In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also must love one another. 1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us. Matthew 5:44-45 But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. John 13:34-35 I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” "To love is to will the good of another." -St. Thomas Aquinas "If we turn away from evil out of fear of punishment, we are in the position of slaves. If we pursue the enticement of wages, . . . we resemble mercenaries. Finally if we obey for the sake of the good itself and out of love for him who commands . . . we are in the position of children." -St. Basil the Great John 17: 20-21 '“I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me." John 15:13 No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. In 1856, Blessed Pope Pius IX designated that the Feast of the Sacred Heart would be celebrated universally on the Friday after the Corpus Christi octave every year, and I hope you had a Blessed Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus last week June 7th! If anyone is struggling, please know you are loved. And if anyone feels like your heart is breaking, if it means anything, I hope it can give you a little ease to know that in order for your heart to break, you must have love in your heart, which means you have so much love to give, and thank you for being so loving. All life is precious and priceless! Your life matters! I believe every single individual no matter our past or present story, which is informed by our personality, which is shaped by our faith, upbringing, tastes, culture, intelligence, finances, health, choices, traumas from the moment we were conceived, our life is a precious gift. The human person, having both body and spiritual and immortal soul, is only created for his or her sake, meaning he or she is not utility property. We were made in the image and likeness of God, who I believe to be Goodness, who is Love, which, imo, means each individual is made good, and is made to love and be loved. “The Sacred Heart has given us everything--redemption, salvation, sanctification.” -St. John Paul II “If I cannot see the brilliance of your Face or hear your sweet voice, O my God, I can live by your grace, I can rest on your Sacred Heart!” - St. Thérèse of Lisieux “In the Sacred Heart every treasure of wisdom and knowledge is hidden. In that Divine Heart beats God’s infinite love for everyone, for each one of us individually.” -St. John Paul II Psalm 139:13-16 You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother’s womb. I praise you, because I am wonderfully made; wonderful are your works! My very self you know. My bones are not hidden from you, When I was being made in secret, fashioned in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw me unformed; in your book all are written down; my days were shaped, before one came to be. Hope you have a light-filled peaceful joyful week, Matt! God bless you and your family!
We can be sacrificed through our suffering and hard times. Mother Theresa said to never waste your suffering. Praying for you brother. Have a blessed day.
I'm so sorry you're struggling. I feel I need to suggest..... Offer up your suffering for the souls in Purgatory, especially those who have no one to pray for them. Imagine meeting them one day and sharing such joy!! Bless you! ❤🙏🏼
Praise Jesus❤️🔥 I've been keeping our brother Shanye in prayer. It will be superb to hear what's going on w/ him & since getting baptized. His conversion story was a beautiful witness of the love& mercy of Christ. I can't wait to hear this interview w Matt, Shayne& Thrsday. Hebrews 3:13 ✡️✝️🕊📿🙏🏼❤️🔥⚔️🛡
Shayne, our daughter and her husband introduced us to you years ago and we love your comedy. Welcome home! I’m so happy you’re on your journey with our Lord. God be with you!
I've been saying for the longest time that it's time for a big Jim Henson Bio Pic. AND....John Krasinski should play Jim. There's an Office Muppets mash up for ya!!
Shayne when you were talking about wanting to do like a standup about the Bible I absolutely loved that idea theres a channel called the Weird bible podcast on UA-cam and they kinda do the same thing where they tell and teach the stories but also joke around and it make it sooo enjoyable by far my favorite way to listen to or absorb scriptures and also my fav podcast next to Matt's
Honestly so much rings true. The gut reaction is to say, "I don't know if that is the right take." But when you take a second to think about it, y'all aren't wrong. It might not be the popular position on things but it doesn't mean you're wrong. This video has had a positive impact on my life and I wanted to let y'all know
Shayne I loved when you mentioned about being proactive with fighting the not so obvious sins, like with anxiety. I would love to hear you talk more about this as I struggle a lot with anxiety ❤️ and sometimes not sure where to turn
I watched Friends in highschool and loved it, tried watching it again in my early twenties and couldn't get thru an episode. Everything revolves around sex and it covertly so bad and immoral.. that went over my head as a 16 yr old.
Welcome home to the Catholic Church! You’re such an inspiration to us cradle Catholics! I love your honesty & sincerity. Stay faithful daily & you will continue to thrive in the faith. As a woman the interview could exclude the “single sin” discussion. God bless!
Shayne, I’m so glad you cooperated with the “hound of heaven” who chased after you. And for continuing to cooperate and allow God to use you to evangelize others. I love your interviews and the thoughts you share. My ONLY suggestion, as a former Toastmaster (a speaking club) is to work on not using filler words, like “LIKE.” Other than filler words, you are so well read and well spoken. What a gift! Thank you for sharing your conversion story with all of us. ❤️
Welcome to the Holy Catholic Church, Shayne! I am so proud for you to be one of us and I am praying for your witness in the faith. This conversation was outstanding and I hope more young people will hear you! I found myself Praising the Lord so many times during the conversation with Matt.
As a woman and a wife, I despise secular Valentine's Day (though we do recognize St. Valentine on the day and teach our kids about him, let them make cheesy V-day cards, and eat chocolates.) I just never wanted to receive gifts or gestures simply because everyone else was doing it. I told every male I was ever involved with before Valentine's Day that this is how I felt. None of them ever believed me (which was extra-insulting), and then because I'm not a total jerk, I'd have to sit through a dumb dog and pony show that I never wanted only to hear that same guy make fun of me to his friends a few days later about how he had to do something to appease the silly woman on "Obligational Gift Day". Ugh, it was so frustrating. Then, I met my husband. The first year we were together, I told him I didn’t want to do Valentines Day. He said, "Okay. Cool, I don't like it either." Then Valentines Day rolled around, and I braced myself for a day of cringy cheese and unoriginal "romance." And... nothing. Sweet, lovely, actually-listening-to-my-wants silence. We did hang out that day (we hung out pretty much every day at that point), but there was no mention of Valentines Day at all. And now, every year, it's just the same. We hang out and play video games instead of suffering through a night at a crowded restaurant or waste money on commercialized garbage. Man, I love my husband.
Roses for nuns! Beautiful! Shayne, it sounds like you've been chatting with dear St. Therese of Lisieux... Pray to her about this. I'm sure she'll be happy to let fall a shower of roses on her sisters in Christ. And I'm sure she'll recognize the beautiful masculinity behind this gesture. 💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🌹🌹🌹
HILARIOUS. I use the dog with a ball analagy too. I have all these tattered gross soggy sins that I want to carry around and keep, and then I give the ball to the Lord and then promptly take it back again. So. True.
I enjoy how there's a discussion about the importance of "not quitting" at 1:30:00, followed immediately by a Hallow ad: "you can always just quit." And then a Strive ad.
So so excited for this sequel to his first podcast with you!!!! 👏👏 Also I think he should have his own channel and podcast on Catholicism/Apologetics. Being a new convert could really help people I think because he’s so relatable. Plus he’s hilarious! 😂 He does hit the nail on the head so well and he is very logical and his delivery is always on point. I have screenshots on my phone of certain parts of his videos (on here) that I want to write down because he said some really simple yet powerful things.
God bless you Shayne! Remember to pray for the poor souls who lash out against your faith journey. Sadly, many suffer from Catholic derangement syndrome
In regards to the discussion about men's and women's bad behavior. You're both keying in on some truth. It IS shameful for a man to behave like a woman and a woman to behave like a man. Without making a CARICATURE of masculinity and femininity it is improper for men or women to reject their nature.
Shayne Smith, My husband and I were listening to your comedy on a road trip and we loved it!! You’re so funny and welcome home!! Praise God!!! Alleluia!!
Watching this interview just brings me joy. Shayne, your smile is so uplifting! You have such a good heart. Thank you , gentlemen. Welcome to the church!
@@Ty4good ,...If you are a catholic and or are not 100% against the manmade abomination of catholicism,/orthodoxy, then you are NOT a believer in the God/Jesus of the Bible. You are completely apostate and are accursed of God. Again, repent!
2:49:57 Shayne, try that Hallow app Matts been talking about (Matt tell Shayne about the night prayers!). If I can't sleep, I put on the Hallow app and listen to Father Mike Schmitz (In the Beginning) and I'm OUT before the 10min is over. If I'm not asleep by then, then I'll put Jonathan Roumie Rosary and I won't make it to the end. If ever I do, then hey, nothing wasted...just spent time with God.
I may not be religious, but I respect people who are. It can be helpful, rewarding and fulfilling for many. The idea that people would behave so toxically simply because of a person's religion saddens me. I hope that Shayne's journey takes him to where he wants to be, and I wish him well.
Shayne Smith: You are the best. You are such a positive person. You can get me out of a sad mood just by watching one of your videos. You tell great stories. Summer Camp is my favorite story.
My birthday is on Valentines Day and I DO not let my husband buy me flowers or take me out to eat. I much rather he cooks me dinner or buys me my favorite chocolate chip cookies. You guys are awesome. Welcome to the Faith Shayne.
I have a question in regards to church and Christ.. personally I guess.... Is having tattoos and being drawn to just wearing black, black hair, etc is that against Christ and the church? I've struggled with depression and I just honestly like black, but I also feel with the "remember your death" it puts a very REAL feeling to everything I do. Making me live in the moment? I remember Taylor Marshall saying if you look like your in the alternative subculture whether it be metal or goth, you are not truly a new creature in Christ. Internally I can't agree with that. I dress how I've dressed since I was 12.. just more modest now I believe. I'm not crazy about my tattoos from my past while my husband says he loves them. Am I being scrupulous? There's a fear that my mindset may have fallen into the "minimalistic homeschooling cottage Saint Mom" (while I do love minimalism, I homeschool, and I do love small homes, and I'm a mom of 3) but where everything has to be natural. Dress in all organic cotton, never dye your hair or you're against God, etc. I once had a friend tell me that God made me love "different" things so that I can reach the broader crowd of alternative kids/adults and spread the gospel.
Wearing black has nothing wrong, remember many religious orders habits are black. In fact, not so long ago women used to almost always wear black to go to Mass. As for tattoos, well as long as they have nothing blasphemous or satanic I don't think its a problem. But then again, in that topic there's a lot going back and forth. You can look Fr. Mike thoughts on it and other priests/theologians if it really worries you. But well, that's my two grains from someone who's not from the USA. You sound like a lovely normal human being with a beautiful family! Godbless you and your family.
Just an observation, but adults shouldn’t dress like they did when they were 12 - whatever their look was then. Children watch and emulate; being modest is good but dressing inappropriately to your stage in life? Not so much.
There is nothing wrong with wearing black and/or being goth/punk. As you alluded to, this can be a form of memento mori, or it could just be a fun aesthetic choice that is amoral (that is, it has no moral component for good or evil). Also, as far as the Catholic Church in particular is concerned, we are a very metal religion if you consider Gothic churches, pictures/statues of saints holding their own body parts (for ex: St Bartholomew holding his own skin, sin he was flayed to death), relics, and some churches that are decorated with literal human bones. The idea that everything Christian has to be country-farmhouse in terms of style (and I say this as a great lover of the cottagecore) is a very modern idea that has no basis in Catholic history or culture.
Caring about what we wear too much or feeling the need to alter our bodies with tattoos aren't sin in themselves but rather a passion that if we learn to control and master through Jesus and the churches teachings can get us closer to God. Not bad but good if you can get past them.
Loved the talk about TV shows, and so glad Frasier got a shout out. My hot take is that Frasier may be the most conservative sitcom ever made, outside of the typical “family” shows. Kelsey Grammar is a conservative, and the whole point of the show is riffing on how the snobby, intellectual libs are out of touch and condescending to the blue collar dad and nurse, who always end up being right. There’s the typical immoral behavior of a secular show for sure, but it’s definitely a conservative coded show. Cheers is basically the same vibe but Frasier is just far more funny and better written
Okay luckily you're dealing with a passionate Catholic... Coincidentally worked on season 1 and 5 of Lost... Also coincidentally. a show about purgatory.... I worked as an extra, play the mom a flight attendant of our patron, but most people couldn't figure out season 1 where the show was going I really think you guys need to re-watch
It never ceases to amaze me how much crap people sling at each other over the internet. Shane makes a life decision that’s between him and God. Some people get triggered. The rest of us watch and send up a prayer for the guy. Blows my mind Also, welcome to the Church!
Oh, Shane! I liked your gross dog metaphor! It reminded me of C.S. Lewis' the Great Divorce story when a soul kept refusing to be separated from his dragon. You may like reading that during this time, when things are so new! In case anyone else has insomnia and is looking for something to try, I've had two forms of insomnia in my life. First kind, could be lying in bed for 4, 5, 6 hours, not fall asleep until 5.AM or until right before I was meant to wake. Magnesium oil (NOT oral mag. Never worked to take orally). Copious amounts rubbed in very well. Itched and stung, but actually made me sleepy after years of being tired, and allowed my brain to drift until it could let go of consciousness. Second kind was after birth, and a doctor told me I was low in taurine. I could go to sleep, but not fall back asleep after getting up with my son. A couple of weeks on this stuff had me back to normal. - kat

@@hamie7624to have a shot? Not necessarily, but to have certainty and access to the sacrements, which are the ordinary (obviously they are in themselves extraordinary, I speak of ordinary in the sense that Astronaughts ordinarily go through training and are selected) way to justification, yes. Protestants who die in their hearts wanting to become Catholic or who see themselves as not being in heresy and who are blessed enough to not be in a formal heresy have a shot though. Im no theologian, do the research on this yourselves
@@hamie7624Great welcoming comment… I can tell you’ve changed his mind by that based post.
@@quinnroddy1110 I've simply stated the teaching of the Holy Catholic Church, because I want my brother in Christ to go to Heaven. If you don't agree, fix yourself.
A statement can be true, but the wrong place, and the wrong time to make it.
I had the opportunity to see Shayne perform in Kansas City and speak with him afterwards. He stayed after the show by the door to talk and take photos with everyone who wanted to meet him. Incredibly funny and a super nice guy. I'm so happy to hear about his baptism and full communion with the Church. Welcome home, brother.
Yes, welcome home to the lake of fire with all the Godless, blind, lost, and deceived catholics. Repent!
Congrats to Shayne for his Baptism. I'll keep him in my prayers.
Glad to see Shayne is a Catholic now! I feel God will use him to convert a lot of people for the Kingdom!
You can see a huge difference in his face since the last episode. Besides not wearing his glasses. He looks healthier. It’s from the Holy Spirit.
I literally came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed this too!
It's because he's not wearing his glasses
@@NotablySpedaside from that.
Yep, I noticed this as well.
No, it’s not the glasses.
Around 50:10, Matt notes that it actually takes strength to resist porn and masturbation. As a teacher of medieval literature, I always love surprising my students with the idea that the knightly ideal was that of preserving one’s virginity until marriage, because it takes a true man to do that. I would add that feminine virtue also requires this kind of courage (sadly, when I was a young woman I bought the lie that to be emancipated and strong I had to be sexually active before marriage).
I love this guy. He finds Friends unfunny (same, never got it), loves the Muppets, and is a freakin' ray of sunshine. Bless you on your journey into the best thing you'll ever do in your life, Shayne!!
My first mass at the Cathedral of the Madeline was also the last Mass of my son's life. We didn't know that a week later God would call him home in a hit and run. God has chosen to show his providential hand in this in many ways, and one of them is that he had a hymn based on Holst sung as the closing of that mass, and had the choir director choose the very same hymn for the closing song of my son's funeral mass, unbeknownst to me. He also chose that song to be sung at my daughter's choir concert, my other son's graduation mass, and a priest's first mass that I played at, all without me having any part in the planning, and without the planners having any knowledge of this. The majority of times I've ever heard that song in my life were all this year, by Providence.
The SLC cathedral will forever be in my heart.
Dude, I am so sorry to hear about this. God Bless you and your son, my sister in Christ.
God be with you. I'm so sorry to read your son passed away. May Our Lady continue to console you and show you the way. ❤
From one Salt Lake Catholic to another, I'm so sorry to hear of this tragedy. May you continue to find solace from our local community, the universal communion of saints, and God's Providence, and may your son rest in eternal peace.
Thank you all.
“Always tell the truth. Always temper the truth with mercy because the whole truth is often too much for many.” Love that
The opposite action to sins of lust are actions of love and responsibility (responsibility for the welfare of others, especially those closest to you). .
Shayne, I appreciated that you idea f femininity involve denying others (particularly those who would exploit her or have malintent, clearly) and that **mutual submission** in marriage is the Catholic ideal. Thank you for standing on that!
I mean this respectfully that I could listen to him all day. The thought process, analogies, etc… brilliant! God Bless you my friend!
He's such a sweetheart. I just want to hug that man! So glad he became Catholic. He should be Mother Natalia's bodyguard. If she ever needs on that is.
Hahahaha!!!! 😂 YES. That's perfect!
I can’t get enough of Shayne Smith! He is so endearing and funny, seriously interesting and has a brilliant brain! Combined with Matt Fradd, it’s over the top to listen to this with my morning coffee!! Welcome Home, Shayne Smith! Fiat Voluntas Tua!!
You will get your fill of him when you are both along with all those snared into the Godless abomination of catholicism are all in the lake of fire together for all eternity. Repent of your ignorance!
Shayne, your comedy consistently makes me laugh until I cry. I watched your comedy all the time during two of the hardest years of my life, and it helped so much. God bless!
Also: choosing to become Catholic as a very young adult many years ago caused my then-boyfriend to begin harassing and undercutting me, saying things like "I mean, I thought you were too smart for this, this is what stupid people do."....it not only helped verify for me that I was going in the right direction,
It also gave me the strength to admit to myself what I already knew: that he was a deeply unhappy person and genuinely abusive, and had been actively trying to separate me from any support system or source of self worth outside himself.
I knew I had to save myself and get away.
I did,
and ultimately ended up with a wonderful husband and incomparably happier and more blessed life.
I'm so sorry that you had to absorb that same kind of abuse, but magnified a thousandfold and on a world stage. Wishing you happiness and many blessings!
You choosing to be catholic is choosing to be thrown in the lake of fire for all eternity. Repent of your ignorance!
😆*Ahh!* He came back!🙌 *YAAYY* I was just wondering how his journey is going. Such an inspiration.🤗
Such an abomination. Repent of your ungodliness!
Your first Shayne Smith interview is in my top five favorite interviews of the year along with the Jimmy Akin and Breanne Demarco interviews (two of my all time favorite podcasts I've heard throughout my entire life), so I'm looking forward to this follow up!
Happy Sacred Heart of Jesus month! And please know that's coming from a loving place as I'm frustrated with the imo blasphemous "Christ is King" usage that's going around.
I'm a broken sinner and have fallen many times, and God never abandoned me, and I don't want anyone to feel abandoned. People are suffering enough and I hope they know Jesus loves them far more than they love themselves and everyone on Earth combined could possibly love them.
Psalm 34:19 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed.
1 John 4:8-11 Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love. In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him. In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also must love one another.
1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us.
Matthew 5:44-45 But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
John 13:34-35 I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
"To love is to will the good of another."
-St. Thomas Aquinas
"If we turn away from evil out of fear of punishment, we are in the position of slaves. If we pursue the enticement of wages, . . . we resemble mercenaries. Finally if we obey for the sake of the good itself and out of love for him who commands . . . we are in the position of children."
-St. Basil the Great
John 17: 20-21 '“I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me."
John 15:13 No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
In 1856, Blessed Pope Pius IX designated that the Feast of the Sacred Heart would be celebrated universally on the Friday after the Corpus Christi octave every year, and I hope you had a Blessed Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus last week June 7th!
If anyone is struggling, please know you are loved. And if anyone feels like your heart is breaking, if it means anything, I hope it can give you a little ease to know that in order for your heart to break, you must have love in your heart, which means you have so much love to give, and thank you for being so loving. All life is precious and priceless! Your life matters!
I believe every single individual no matter our past or present story, which is informed by our personality, which is shaped by our faith, upbringing, tastes, culture, intelligence, finances, health, choices, traumas from the moment we were conceived, our life is a precious gift. The human person, having both body and spiritual and immortal soul, is only created for his or her sake, meaning he or she is not utility property. We were made in the image and likeness of God, who I believe to be Goodness, who is Love, which, imo, means each individual is made good, and is made to love and be loved.
“The Sacred Heart has given us everything--redemption, salvation, sanctification.”
-St. John Paul II
“If I cannot see the brilliance of your Face or hear your sweet voice, O my God, I can live by your grace, I can rest on your Sacred Heart!” - St. Thérèse of Lisieux
“In the Sacred Heart every treasure of wisdom and knowledge is hidden. In that Divine Heart beats God’s infinite love for everyone, for each one of us individually.”
-St. John Paul II
Psalm 139:13-16 You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother’s womb. I praise you, because I am wonderfully made; wonderful are your works! My very self you know. My bones are not hidden from you, When I was being made in secret, fashioned in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw me unformed;
in your book all are written down; my days were shaped, before one came to be.
Hope you have a light-filled peaceful joyful week, Matt! God bless you and your family!
I love it. If only more and more people will become Catholic. ❤ 🙏
1:23:41 I struggle with embracing “the hard” because life has been so hard that I seek relief 😢 pray for me brothers and sisters
We can be sacrificed through our suffering and hard times. Mother Theresa said to never waste your suffering. Praying for you brother. Have a blessed day.
I'm so sorry you're struggling. I feel I need to suggest..... Offer up your suffering for the souls in Purgatory, especially those who have no one to pray for them. Imagine meeting them one day and sharing such joy!! Bless you! ❤🙏🏼
@@nicolamustard7232 I will do this thank you 🙏
@@nicolamustard7232 Very well said…thank you 🙏🏼
Praise Jesus❤️🔥 I've been keeping our brother Shanye in prayer. It will be superb to hear what's going on w/ him & since getting baptized. His conversion story was a beautiful witness of the love& mercy of Christ. I can't wait to hear this interview w Matt, Shayne& Thrsday. Hebrews 3:13 ✡️✝️🕊📿🙏🏼❤️🔥⚔️🛡
Let’s goooo!!! St. Joseph The Worker fam represent!!!!
Shayne, our daughter and her husband introduced us to you years ago and we love your comedy. Welcome home! I’m so happy you’re on your journey with our Lord. God be with you!
I've been saying for the longest time that it's time for a big Jim Henson Bio Pic. AND....John Krasinski should play Jim. There's an Office Muppets mash up for ya!!
Shayne when you were talking about wanting to do like a standup about the Bible I absolutely loved that idea theres a channel called the Weird bible podcast on UA-cam and they kinda do the same thing where they tell and teach the stories but also joke around and it make it sooo enjoyable by far my favorite way to listen to or absorb scriptures and also my fav podcast next to Matt's
I didn't know Shayne before Pints with Aquinas, I'd love him to do his own podcast.
Honestly so much rings true. The gut reaction is to say, "I don't know if that is the right take." But when you take a second to think about it, y'all aren't wrong. It might not be the popular position on things but it doesn't mean you're wrong. This video has had a positive impact on my life and I wanted to let y'all know
Shayne I loved when you mentioned about being proactive with fighting the not so obvious sins, like with anxiety. I would love to hear you talk more about this as I struggle a lot with anxiety ❤️ and sometimes not sure where to turn
I watched Friends in highschool and loved it, tried watching it again in my early twenties and couldn't get thru an episode. Everything revolves around sex and it covertly so bad and immoral.. that went over my head as a 16 yr old.
Totally agree!!
Welcome home to the Catholic Church! You’re such an inspiration to us cradle Catholics! I love your honesty & sincerity. Stay faithful daily & you will continue to thrive in the faith. As a woman the interview could exclude the “single sin” discussion.
God bless!
My uncle is the CEO of Seek, I can send him a message to try to get into contact with you Shayne!
Woah
We are so excited for you Shane! Welcome home 😊🎊✝️🙏
Shayne, I’m so glad you cooperated with the “hound of heaven” who chased after you. And for continuing to cooperate and allow God to use you to evangelize others.
I love your interviews and the thoughts you share. My ONLY suggestion, as a former Toastmaster (a speaking club) is to work on not using filler words, like “LIKE.” Other than filler words, you are so well read and well spoken. What a gift! Thank you for sharing your conversion story with all of us. ❤️
Welcome to the Holy Catholic Church, Shayne! I am so proud for you to be one of us and I am praying for your witness in the faith. This conversation was outstanding and I hope more young people will hear you! I found myself Praising the Lord so many times during the conversation with Matt.
Keeping you in prayer Shayne
As a woman and a wife, I despise secular Valentine's Day (though we do recognize St. Valentine on the day and teach our kids about him, let them make cheesy V-day cards, and eat chocolates.) I just never wanted to receive gifts or gestures simply because everyone else was doing it. I told every male I was ever involved with before Valentine's Day that this is how I felt. None of them ever believed me (which was extra-insulting), and then because I'm not a total jerk, I'd have to sit through a dumb dog and pony show that I never wanted only to hear that same guy make fun of me to his friends a few days later about how he had to do something to appease the silly woman on "Obligational Gift Day". Ugh, it was so frustrating.
Then, I met my husband. The first year we were together, I told him I didn’t want to do Valentines Day. He said, "Okay. Cool, I don't like it either." Then Valentines Day rolled around, and I braced myself for a day of cringy cheese and unoriginal "romance." And... nothing. Sweet, lovely, actually-listening-to-my-wants silence. We did hang out that day (we hung out pretty much every day at that point), but there was no mention of Valentines Day at all. And now, every year, it's just the same. We hang out and play video games instead of suffering through a night at a crowded restaurant or waste money on commercialized garbage. Man, I love my husband.
43:16 Man from Austria here! Yes, we are rule abiding, haha. Glad to hear, you stayed in our beautiful and still catholic country!
Way to grow, Shayne. Be a Saint for all those to come, for they will!
God, Mary, thank you for transforming this lovely man's life. Pray for us, our most holy Queen of Heaven!
‘You have to be able to see a puppet frog sword fight a guy’
“I don’t know if I’ve ever been ready for that” 😆🤣
Roses for nuns! Beautiful!
Shayne, it sounds like you've been chatting with dear St. Therese of Lisieux...
Pray to her about this. I'm sure she'll be happy to let fall a shower of roses on her sisters in Christ. And I'm sure she'll recognize the beautiful masculinity behind this gesture. 💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🌹🌹🌹
So excited!! I've been praying for Shayne and thinking about his first interview. Can't wait to hear how he's doing!
HILARIOUS. I use the dog with a ball analagy too. I have all these tattered gross soggy sins that I want to carry around and keep, and then I give the ball to the Lord and then promptly take it back again. So. True.
I loved him from the first time I saw him. I am so happy he is Catholic now. Welcome Shayne. We love you.
I enjoy how there's a discussion about the importance of "not quitting" at 1:30:00, followed immediately by a Hallow ad: "you can always just quit." And then a Strive ad.
So so excited for this sequel to his first podcast with you!!!! 👏👏 Also I think he should have his own channel and podcast on Catholicism/Apologetics. Being a new convert could really help people I think because he’s so relatable. Plus he’s hilarious! 😂 He does hit the nail on the head so well and he is very logical and his delivery is always on point. I have screenshots on my phone of certain parts of his videos (on here) that I want to write down because he said some really simple yet powerful things.
2:56:49 as a pregnant woman with lower back pain. I appreciate the consideration 🤰🏻😂 My lower back is MESSED UP but totally worth it!
Congratulations, welcome to the church.
God bless you Shayne! Remember to pray for the poor souls who lash out against your faith journey. Sadly, many suffer from Catholic derangement syndrome
I was so excited to see another interview with Shayne and so blessed to hear he is now Catholic! God bless you, Shayne! Being Catholic is awesome!
In regards to the discussion about men's and women's bad behavior. You're both keying in on some truth.
It IS shameful for a man to behave like a woman and a woman to behave like a man.
Without making a CARICATURE of masculinity and femininity it is improper for men or women to reject their nature.
46:40 “punch a clock at the sex factory” is so funny. It really illustrates how subversive and what a lie the term “sex work” is.
The only think missing from this interview is Thursdy's hysterical laughter in the background.
Welcome to the Catholic Community
Shayne Smith, My husband and I were listening to your comedy on a road trip and we loved it!! You’re so funny and welcome home!! Praise God!!! Alleluia!!
The roses for nuns thing sound like such a wonderful idea!! ❤❤
Watching this interview just brings me joy. Shayne, your smile is so uplifting! You have such a good heart. Thank you , gentlemen. Welcome to the church!
This whole interview brought me JOY! Thank you!
So excited!! Been praying for you, Shayne!❤
I need to rewatch this and write down all these good, convicting quotes.
You need to read the Bible and learn what the truth, the gospel, and the Christianity of the Bible actually is. Repent!
@@2ndPeterCh.2-qt5dwAlready a believer, brother. Just a good video. I’m literally clergy.
@@Ty4good ,...If you are a catholic and or are not 100% against the manmade abomination of catholicism,/orthodoxy, then you are NOT a believer in the God/Jesus of the Bible. You are completely apostate and are accursed of God.
Again, repent!
100%! That's why I'm in the comments...I'm looking for the quotes (sometimes people type them in)!
2:49:57 Shayne, try that Hallow app Matts been talking about (Matt tell Shayne about the night prayers!). If I can't sleep, I put on the Hallow app and listen to Father Mike Schmitz (In the Beginning) and I'm OUT before the 10min is over. If I'm not asleep by then, then I'll put Jonathan Roumie Rosary and I won't make it to the end. If ever I do, then hey, nothing wasted...just spent time with God.
Unashaned
I may not be religious, but I respect people who are. It can be helpful, rewarding and fulfilling for many. The idea that people would behave so toxically simply because of a person's religion saddens me. I hope that Shayne's journey takes him to where he wants to be, and I wish him well.
Great show! Would love to see you interview Candace Owen’s on her recent conversion!
There is a lightness to his countenance now.
Shayne Smith:
You are the best. You are such a positive person. You can get me out of a sad mood just by watching one of your videos. You tell great stories. Summer Camp is my favorite story.
Favorite episodes:
1) This one haha
2) Fr. Carlos Martins
3) Samuel Blaire
😎💪🏻
Im surprised how captivated i am by this interview🎉
Was this the biggest guest so far mentioned in a previous post? Never heard of him.
He’s already been a guest on the show.
Cardinal Burke 😊

I’m definitely up for Shayne Smith hagiographies
My birthday is on Valentines Day and I DO not let my husband buy me flowers or take me out to eat. I much rather he cooks me dinner or buys me my favorite chocolate chip cookies. You guys are awesome. Welcome to the Faith Shayne.
I have a question in regards to church and Christ.. personally I guess.... Is having tattoos and being drawn to just wearing black, black hair, etc is that against Christ and the church? I've struggled with depression and I just honestly like black, but I also feel with the "remember your death" it puts a very REAL feeling to everything I do. Making me live in the moment? I remember Taylor Marshall saying if you look like your in the alternative subculture whether it be metal or goth, you are not truly a new creature in Christ. Internally I can't agree with that. I dress how I've dressed since I was 12.. just more modest now I believe. I'm not crazy about my tattoos from my past while my husband says he loves them. Am I being scrupulous? There's a fear that my mindset may have fallen into the "minimalistic homeschooling cottage Saint Mom" (while I do love minimalism, I homeschool, and I do love small homes, and I'm a mom of 3) but where everything has to be natural. Dress in all organic cotton, never dye your hair or you're against God, etc. I once had a friend tell me that God made me love "different" things so that I can reach the broader crowd of alternative kids/adults and spread the gospel.
Wearing black has nothing wrong, remember many religious orders habits are black. In fact, not so long ago women used to almost always wear black to go to Mass. As for tattoos, well as long as they have nothing blasphemous or satanic I don't think its a problem. But then again, in that topic there's a lot going back and forth. You can look Fr. Mike thoughts on it and other priests/theologians if it really worries you. But well, that's my two grains from someone who's not from the USA. You sound like a lovely normal human being with a beautiful family! Godbless you and your family.
Fr. Mike Schmitz has a shirt video on tats you can look up for his take from the Church's point of view.
Just an observation, but adults shouldn’t dress like they did when they were 12 - whatever their look was then. Children watch and emulate; being modest is good but dressing inappropriately to your stage in life? Not so much.
There is nothing wrong with wearing black and/or being goth/punk. As you alluded to, this can be a form of memento mori, or it could just be a fun aesthetic choice that is amoral (that is, it has no moral component for good or evil).
Also, as far as the Catholic Church in particular is concerned, we are a very metal religion if you consider Gothic churches, pictures/statues of saints holding their own body parts (for ex: St Bartholomew holding his own skin, sin he was flayed to death), relics, and some churches that are decorated with literal human bones. The idea that everything Christian has to be country-farmhouse in terms of style (and I say this as a great lover of the cottagecore) is a very modern idea that has no basis in Catholic history or culture.
Caring about what we wear too much or feeling the need to alter our bodies with tattoos aren't sin in themselves but rather a passion that if we learn to control and master through Jesus and the churches teachings can get us closer to God. Not bad but good if you can get past them.
Man I just saw his first interview here and loved it... so happy for his journey and testimonial. I would really like to be his friend
I could listen to Shayne's stories everyday. So happy he is back on Pints With Aquinas! Welcome to the Catholic family.
Loved the talk about TV shows, and so glad Frasier got a shout out. My hot take is that Frasier may be the most conservative sitcom ever made, outside of the typical “family” shows. Kelsey Grammar is a conservative, and the whole point of the show is riffing on how the snobby, intellectual libs are out of touch and condescending to the blue collar dad and nurse, who always end up being right. There’s the typical immoral behavior of a secular show for sure, but it’s definitely a conservative coded show. Cheers is basically the same vibe but Frasier is just far more funny and better written
Okay luckily you're dealing with a passionate Catholic... Coincidentally worked on season 1 and 5 of Lost... Also coincidentally. a show about purgatory.... I worked as an extra, play the mom a flight attendant of our patron, but most people couldn't figure out season 1 where the show was going I really think you guys need to re-watch
"...on Minecraft" is my favorite get out of jail free card haha
Welcome home Shane. I really enjoyed your comedy. And now am thrilled to see you on this journey.
Shayne!!!! I’ve missed hearing you on podcasts - so excited to listen ❤
It never ceases to amaze me how much crap people sling at each other over the internet. Shane makes a life decision that’s between him and God. Some people get triggered. The rest of us watch and send up a prayer for the guy. Blows my mind
Also, welcome to the Church!
SO excited for this one Matt. Thank you!
Oh, Shane! I liked your gross dog metaphor! It reminded me of C.S. Lewis' the Great Divorce story when a soul kept refusing to be separated from his dragon.
You may like reading that during this time, when things are so new!
In case anyone else has insomnia and is looking for something to try, I've had two forms of insomnia in my life. First kind, could be lying in bed for 4, 5, 6 hours, not fall asleep until 5.AM or until right before I was meant to wake. Magnesium oil (NOT oral mag. Never worked to take orally). Copious amounts rubbed in very well. Itched and stung, but actually made me sleepy after years of being tired, and allowed my brain to drift until it could let go of consciousness.
Second kind was after birth, and a doctor told me I was low in taurine. I could go to sleep, but not fall back asleep after getting up with my son. A couple of weeks on this stuff had me back to normal.

I love how much Shayne loves the Muppets! I'm a huge Henson fan, so anyone who enjoys his work so much is a kindred spirit.
I’m so happy for you i’m thinking to be Catholic also. may Jesus bless you ❤️🙏🏻😇
Stop thinking. Start doing. Praying for you!
matt fradd look like such a square sittin there with no face tats.
