This was by far one of my favorite Fradd videos b/c it was so relevant to life. We’ve all been touched by addiction, whether personally or by loving an addict. Thank you both!
As a Deacon and an addict...
I can dig it. Keep up the good work!
This story hit me hard too... Thank you so much John for sharing and thank you Matt for hosting. I may not be addicted to drugs but hearing this story really helped me out. May God bless you both and all who tuned in to listen
Such a powerful testimony! That blew me away and had me in tears and giving thanks to God! If you’re struggling trying to breaking the addiction to porn keep going! I failed probably 100 times or more until I finally broke the addiction. It was so frustrating but thank God! God gave me the strength to persevere. All glory to God and our Blessed Mother who helped me tremendously with her intercession in the holy rosary.
I'm afraid that if I keep listening to Matt, I'll convert to RC or one of the Apostolic churches. I still believe the "denomination" I'm a part of does have salvation, proven by the miracles the Lord Jesus Christ still performs there to this day, but there's something to the Apostolic churches that I can't deny seems true. The term I've heard some RCs and EOs use is the "fullness of the truth," and I will admit to glimpsing a certain depth in the ways and thoughts of the Apostolic churches. For now, I've clicked the bell button.
Once I started listening to Catholic teachers, the Bible made a lot more sense. Catholicism goes deep in the Bible, while other denominations can't because they are trying their best to ignore certain doctrines.
@@zena7006 Amen. Part of the problem is Christians have shuttered their hearts to one another. RCs against EOs, Protestants against RCs, etc. These divisions are of the devil, may the Lord grant us repentance and reconcile the divisions within the body of believers.
@@dr.j5642 The hate amongst divisions made me a Catholic. I saw how much hate other denominations had against Catholicism, so I decided to research the objections myself, after a few months, I realized how absolutely absurd the objections were and I had no choice but to become a Catholic.
@@zena7006 Amen. To be fair, Catholics have been harsh and hateful towards other Apostolic churches and Protestant churches as well, but perhaps its true that all the churches pile up on RC a bit. For me, I still struggle with the perceived abominations the RCC, or members of its clergy, have perpetrated over the ages, but I believe in God to guide me to all truths, may he be patient with me.
Do it afraid.
Thankyou John Edwards. You're right, there must be a good reason for all this pain, other than pain.
This brought me to tears, God is so good
This is a great testimony
Love you, John! Keep doing the Lord's work! Thank you, Matt. It was almost as moving seeing you do deeply affected by John's story and by the comments! Thank you both so much!
I Cried too. But being EX - deep south U.S.A., I keep laughing with him with S.B.C. Calvin mindset. "HOW IS THIS HAPPENING TOO ME?!?" (God's elect?!?)
John if you’re seeing this along with anyone, please pray a few loved ones who seem addicted also it would appear to the bottle
God bless
Please, please... PLEASE! Talk to an Orthodox priest about Orthodoxy. I would recommend Fr. Josiah Trenham.
Please pray for Meghan, who has this awful addiction, as well as bipolar disorder, and her family. She's so far gone that I honestly think her last hope is to be institutionalized, probably for life. ☦
I did not crrryyy....I'm not cryin.Yeah i did not but i cannot hold on,i just wash my eyes....
Matt, what's that little tune before your stream?
I just joined a fraternity :0
This guy looks like Joss Whedon
Started crying when he talked about his dad picking him up!
I see two downvotes, probably drug dealers.
😂
"God will not deny His mercy to anyone. Heaven and earth may change, but God's mercy will never be exhausted. Oh, what immense joy burns in my heart when I contemplate Your incomprehensible goodness, O Jesus! I desire to bring all sinners to Your feet that they may glorify Your mercy throughout endless ages."
(Saint Faustina's Diary 72)
John, it doesn't matter how many times I hear your story, I cry every time! Thank you for bringing others to Christ. Angela is one amazing woman and Catholic. I love your family dearly. Thank you, Matt, for sharing John with your viewers. Matt, your honest tears are beautiful to witness. Thank you for living the faith.
I’m so excited you interviewed John! I’m a parishioner at the same parish as him in Memphis!!
Truly touched. Thank you for your testimony. Viva Cristo Rey
I cried hear hearing your story.
Cryed all the way seeing what great things the Lord worked on you, 🙏 and how it helped so many other people in need. GOD BLESS YOU!
THANK YOU🙏
Wow this is powerful! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
WOW! I sent this video to at least 5 people already- absolutely remarkable, praise the Lord and thank you brothers for sharing and preaching the good news!! May God bless you and your families abundantly!💛🤍🙌🏻
Matt the beard is back!! YES!!! Anyway... this was an amazing testimony! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for this. We need more shows like this.
Glory be to Jesus Christ , now and forever!!
Wow! Cried like a baby! Thank you for this video. It hit home with me as I go through my struggles. God bless.
Wow! Isn’t it amazing what God can do in his perfect love. Always there no matter what, always pulling us all together using our failings to make a beautiful incredible church to lift each other up. Thank you for being so brave and sharing your story John. I’m so impressed by you and your amazing family! Love and respect for you and yours. You will all be in my daily prayers. God bless you!!
This is SO powerful.
Wow, I almost cried several times throughout this. If I used to struggle with porn as a young teenager but got over it, am I free from that burden? I just started RCIA but have not yet done confession. Do I have to confess all my sins over my whole life? Porn is no longer a problem in my life, so do I need to confess that sin or is it already absolved by confessing it to Jesus as a former Protestant?
Yes you should definitely bring it to confession. Even if you have recovered from your addiction the effects of the sin on our soul are still there. Your first confession will probably be the longest. Welcome home!
@@frankeastbrook2530 Thank you! Can I go to confession as a catechumen and be absolved?
Beautiful testimony.🙏
Incredible testimony
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Brother, your story caused some ninjas cutting onions in my room. Jokes aside, the Lord used your life for His glory.
Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit!
The community aspect of our parishes is something we must keep in mind and work to keep improving. Thank you Matt for bringing John on!
I knew I wasn't going insane when I thought I had heard his testimony before.
Thank you for sharing your story. Praise be Jesus Christ.
Matt, thank you for having this interview. it was so moving. hope you do more of these conversion stories
Jesus saves.
At the beginning of the stream. I hope you open that Jacket and show that amazing sweater like Superman does with his super suit
EDIT: This was a great stream. Glory to Jesus Christ. This was a really powerful show, one of the best ones you've had
Thank you Matt & John for sharing your story of Recovery and Returning to and growing in your faith. Very important message and topic for many including myself.
I see so much of my husband in you. Lying, not being a father, porn. Every time I’ve wanted to leave - I’ve gotten the blessing of my family and two priests. But I never seem to. The last time I was making plans I prayed, whatever your will is Lord. And we always seem to stay together. But it is so hard and it is one of the things I regret most in life, getting married. God told me not to so I suppose this is my punishment. I may have been being called to religious life. But now I’m stuck for the rest of my life.
Please pray for me everyone that reads this I need the intercession of Gods Children thank you for considering
