    I know this is two years ago, but seeing it for the first time today. Watched the edited episode and now watching the full-length interview. So good. It’s painful, the journey, one I relate to so much. I’m coming into the church at Easter vigil. I left my staff position in October after 21 years. I’ve loved men like Spurgeon and Lloyd-Jones and now feel so betrayed by the Reformation. Shows like this has helped me so much in my journey. Thank you!!

      Bottom line, if a person is sincerely open to truth, he will find it. Not everyone seek it but if you do, Chris will guide you. Would Christ give you a scorpion if you ask for a fish?
      And when you find the truth you find Christ (because He said he is the way, the “truth” and the life).
      I saw that most people look for teachers who justify their way of life and choices and few are actually sincerely looking for truth. This is because they love their particular sin and look to justify it.

    It's just amazing to hear how Jesus in a very special manner touches and draws people to him. Glory to God. May His Light shine on thee.

    Part 2 please Eddie? I think the positives that have come to Ken since his conversion deserve an entire episode in itself.

    Oh my goodness!
    When you mentioned that Polycarp was a disciple of John, I just realized that I’ve never known that there was written history of those whom the original 12 disciples!
    I don’t even know who Polycarp is!
    I was born into a nondenominational denomination (because aren’t they all?) and accepted Christ as my personal Saviour at the age of 11. I was then baptized by immersion in a lovely pond at the age of 13.
    Unfortunately, much of my Christian life was based upon faith and legalism rather than upon the loving grace of our Saviour. I wanted to please God as my Heavenly Father but I had a skewed view of His character.
    After going thru a divorce, living with a man and having a child out of wedlock - all of which I knew did not honor God - and having to re-examine Who Christ is and what He had to do with me, I gave up my way of living a returned to the Father but this time, I experienced peace that I had never had before.
    Suffice it to say that I have been on a spiritual journey and have tried to get away from the emotionalism of my past church experiences - the long drawn-out altar calls, hell-fire and damnation condemnation-type preaching abs have sought to serve God out of love because He first lived me.
    I currently attend a nondenominational church with a pastor who teaches the Word in a way that is calm yet always challenging us to grow in our walk with Christ.
    We have a dynamic time of worship as well.
    Many Sundays I end up with tears in my eyes because of the love, forgiveness and grace of our Lord.
    Last year I began listening to Father Schmitz’s Bible in a Year podcast and it is changing me. Now here I am on this rabbit trail of exploring the Catholic faith which I would never have been encouraged to do in my circle.
    Thank you for sharing your story!
    I believe I am experiencing a paradigm shift…. It is exciting!

      That was supposed to say “whom the original 12 discipled”
      Also that much of my Christian life was based upon fear and legalism

    I’d like to suggest to you guest that becoming a hospice chaplain is a wonderful opportunity for your people trying to leave their denomination. Hospice chaplains do wonderful work and support all people of faith. We pray before our meetings. They read scripture, play hymns and pray with and support patients and families. I’m Catholic and am a hospice nurse. I so appreciate our chaplains. Maybe it would be a good fit. They could be Catholic and still support others using their degrees. ✝️

    Also, will you have the courage to go where the truth takes you? People love the truth as long as it suits them and hate it when it disagrees with them.

      That was Jesus ritualistically washing the disciplines to initiate them into His priesthood. Same ritual as need have been doing since Aaron

    It's s a shame usaved people somehow fool enough people to get a pastor's job and the prove they were never saved by joining the Catholic Church. I hope he's prepared to worship Mary and pray for and to the dead.
